Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 237 Hair Is Really Important

Like the stairs we passed just now, the ground at the foot of the white tree was also covered with thick dust, green moss accumulated at the corner between the floor and the wall, and the corroded wall skin fell to the ground, which was very dirty. , there is an unpleasant smell floating up.

But there is one thing that is different from the others...

Haibara's eyes were slightly concentrated, and she didn't think it was dirty, so she reached out and touched a dark spot on the ground.

Withdrawing her hand, she looked at her fingertips, and there was a touch of dark blood mixed with dust.

"It seems to be blood." Hui Yuanai moved her hand to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. The unpleasant rusty smell made her tone more certain:
"Judging from the color and the coagulation of the blood, it shouldn't be too long... This is probably someone's blood."

"There is a conspiracy."

Bai Shu nodded seriously, then put his chin in one hand, turned his head and pointed to the wall beside him:
"Look, there is such a weird message on the wall, it's strange."

"?" Huiyuan Ai turned his wrist again, so that the light circle fell on the place he was pointing at.

If you look carefully, you can find that there are indeed three lines of lettering that were covered up by dirt. The walls are mottled, and those words are also broken and out of shape.

Hui Yuanai could only barely see clearly when she got closer. She tried her best to identify, but she couldn't hold back and said, "You have really good eyes. Were you a cat in your previous life?"

"I'm just not picky eaters, and my nutrition is balanced." Bai Shu moved some to make room for her, "Eat more vegetables containing vitamin A, you can do it too!"

"……",I do not need it, thank you.

After casually chatting about a few topics about life, Hui Yuanai unknowingly relaxed a bit, and she softly read the writing on the wall:

"That guy pretended to be me, trying to... seize the castle's treasure?"

After reading, she touched the line of words, and when she withdrew her hand, as expected, the dust on her fingertips became thicker.

Hui Yuanai took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "It was engraved a long time ago... This kind of hideous font that reveals despair is really unpleasant to read."

"It does have the atmosphere of an ancient castle, and looks like a lot of mysteries." Bai Shu stood up, stretched his legs, and guessed casually:

"Conan was just looking at this line, and was accidentally attacked from behind."

"His words... are probably true." Hui Yuanai held his forehead and sighed speechlessly.

As Conan's classmate, Haibara Ai has had a lot of contact with him, and has a deep understanding of Conan's reasoning maniac nature:

"It's too messy. In this environment, you dare to look at things and be fascinated."

"Where are you going next?" When Bai Shu asked this sentence, he had already made up his mind.

After asking politely, he pointed in a direction:
"My suggestion is to go over there. Judging from the direction, it seems to lead to the tower that was on fire. Since the disappearance of the servant two years ago was related to the tower, it is very likely that the doctor and Conan were hidden in the tower. "

"Okay." After hearing this, Hui Yuanai felt that it was reasonable and agreed immediately.

Although there are many roads, there are obvious differences in directions.

There is only one flight of steps leading up to the tower.

The two walked up and came to a quiet corridor.He was about to move on, but at this moment, Hui Yuanai, who was illuminated ahead, stopped at his feet.

She bent down and picked up a pair of glasses.

The frame is made of metal, with a simple round lens inlaid on it.Hui Yuanai was silent for two seconds at the very familiar glasses, then turned to look at Bai Shu, "...these are the doctor's glasses."

Bai Shu lowered his gaze and took a look.

The glasses were sacrificed terribly, the right lens was broken into several pieces, and the left lens was also covered with spider web cracks.The remaining resin sheet was stained with blood, and the metal frame was slightly deformed, as if it had been hit hard from the right side.

... At this time, the disadvantage of the Mediterranean Sea is reflected. The buffer capacity is extremely low. If you are knocked, you will faint, and you may even die.

Bai Shu struggled to resist the urge to open the book and take a look. He took the glasses that Hui Yuan Ai handed over, and turned them around, pretending to be studying.

Next to him, Hui Yuanai began to grope on the wall, "This gap seems to be a bit transparent..."

Before the word "light" could be said, the place she was holding on to suddenly flipped outwards, Hui Yuanai lost her balance, staggered two steps forward, and stepped into a familiar corridor.

Bai Shu supported the door behind her to prevent her from being locked out, and also looked out by the way.

There are chandeliers at the top of the corridor, quaint paintings on the walls, and a telephone in the corner.

The eyes of the two fell on it and they recognized it immediately.

——This is where Hui Yuan Ai called before, and it is also the place where the doctor disappeared.

"Sure enough, he was attacked, and then dragged into the secret passage." Hui Yuanai frowned after reading it, and came to a conclusion, and quickly retreated into the secret passage.

The discovery just now proved once again that the person behind the scenes was most likely the person in the villa.If you stay here for a long time and get noticed by them, the situation will be very bad.

When Hui Yuanai came in, Bai Shu stepped back a few steps and let go.

The door swiveled shut, and the walls snapped back to their original shape.

"Let's go." Hui Yuanai took a deep breath and put the broken hair back behind his ears, "Since he was taken away from here, there should be some traces left."

She shone the torch light on the ground, and the result made people wonder whether to be happy or sad—more than "a little", there was a trace on the ground that was slightly cleaner than the surrounding area, and the width was exactly the same as that of the doctor. .

"If you drag it all the way like this, it will break your skin..." Hui Yuanai was a little worried.

"It's a lot of strength to be able to drag the doctor."

Bai Shu recalled the doctor's body shape:

"If you want to hide people secretly without making any noise, you usually choose to carry them away. If you move people by dragging, either the person behind the scenes is confident and not afraid of being discovered, or the person has limited strength and cannot carry the doctor. "

"It's best if you can avoid it, if you can't avoid it..."

Hui Yuanai looked at Bai Shu hesitantly, and said:

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you fight seriously, I just remember that you seem to be very powerful in sneak attacks, why don't you pick up some self-defense in advance?"

"...", you don't have to say it if you keep this impression in your heart!

Bai Shu put his hand into his pocket without saying a word, "It's the same if you pick it up again. It's really impossible to throw you out, and it's worth dozens of catties."

"I'm going to call the police."

The corners of Hui Yuanai's eyes twitched twice, but it sounded like Bai Shu was very calm, so he should know it in his heart.

She didn't say any more, and focused on following the traces on the ground to find the doctor.

Bai Shu really had nothing to worry about.

In the original world line, half of the reason why the murderer is so frightening is because of the weird atmosphere in the secret passage, and the other half is because of the crushing force.

——When dealing with a few six or seven-year-old children, the advantage of adults is too great.

As for Dr. A Li, first of all, he is not very good at fighting, and it is purely due to his lower IQ that he was accidentally beaten with a sap.

If Ran, Mori Kogoro, or even Hattori Heiji were the people who went through this case, maybe they would have fought all the way to the end and settled everything.

Following those traces, I walked around for nearly 10 minutes.When walking down a long section of steps again, Bai Shu relied on the three-dimensional map constructed in his mind to estimate that they had already arrived in the tower, and they were probably on the first floor at present.

Suddenly, Hui Yuanai stopped and turned the flashlight to shine on the soles of his feet.

In front of the small sheepskin boots is a square plank laid flat on the ground.

This is the cellar of the tower.
