Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan

Seeing Shiroishi, Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if this teammate is very unreliable, the combat power may suddenly become negative at any time... but one more person can at least share clues.

Moreover, the act of telling another person what you have learned is also a very effective induction and summary.

Moreover, judging from Shiraishi's ability to predict the current situation in advance, when he is not asleep, his role will definitely not be small. Together with him, maybe we can find out the truth of the castle and the whereabouts of Conan faster.

Hattori Heiji briefly recounted what happened after Shiraishi fell asleep, especially Conan's disappearance.

Then he told Shiraishi his speculation:

"I think there are two possibilities. One is that Kudo witnessed a 'should not see' scene, was arrested by those who wanted to kill him, restricted his movement, and may even have been killed.

"However, what Kudo saw should have nothing to do with Treasures and Mamiya Man - we have already said that we will not covet the property left by the ancestors of the Mamiya family, and Mamiya Man has no reason to attack us because of Treasures.

"If other people want to bypass Mamiya Man, the head of the family, and get the treasure, it is difficult for them to think that a child can solve the mystery, and there is no need to kidnap Conan as a mental labor.

"So at the beginning, I focused the search on other people in the castle, as well as those corners where people are easy to hide, but there was still no clue... I had to contact the police, and they would send someone over, but it would not arrive until the early hours of the morning. , and then let them supervise the people in the castle and start a large-scale search."

Shiraishi nodded, thinking that it would be useful to have a relationship with the police.

He wanted to remind Hattori Heiji a little bit to ask his police friends to help bring a trailer, so that he didn't have to drive the car back, just pretend to sleep against the police car.

But now that Conan is missing, as a kind neighbor, he shouldn't focus on driving, so he has to swallow his words and continue to listen to Hattori Heiji's analysis.

"Another possibility is that Kudo discovered some secret passages or secret rooms - after all, this is a historical castle that was moved from abroad as it is, and it is not surprising that there are these devices.

"The triggering of the mechanism is usually accompanied by a certain sound... By the way, I don't think the Mamiya family knew that there was a secret passage in the castle, otherwise Mamiya Man would have told us the relevant information, which would be more convenient to solve the mystery.

"Of course, there may also be something shady in the secret passage. But in this case, most people don't specially invite detectives to investigate in the castle.

"So I prefer that these organs have been forgotten for a long time and have not been used for a long time - that is to say, it will only activate more loudly.

"But before and after Conan disappeared..." Hattori Heiji suddenly glanced at Shiraishi, "Apart from you leaning against the door and accidentally bumping the door against the wall, there are no other suspicious sounds around here."

"So I thought at the time that Kudo might have triggered the trap from a farther place. But I searched all over the room on this floor just now, but couldn't find where the trap was."

"So I'm thinking now, could it be the movement of you leaning against the door that obscured other sounds—such as the sound of Kudo's triggering mechanism, which gave us the illusion that he disappeared 'quietly' ."

When he first thought of this, Hattori Heiji actually suspected that Shiraishi was doing it on purpose. After all, the timing was too coincidental.

But on second thought, I felt a lack of motivation.

Both Kudo and Maurilan seemed to trust Shiraishi.

If Baishi wants to kill them, he just needs to find a chance to find out their itinerary, and then "ran into" when they go out. After the plot succeeds, throwing people into the deep mountains and forests will definitely be better than adding a variable like himself now. Much safer.

In addition, when Shiraishi made a move, Hattori Heiji immediately looked back.

He was able to determine that Conan was not in the room at that time, nor was any mechanism closing in the room.

Hattori Heiji thought of this, and immediately came to this room, imitating Shiraishi's posture at the time, leaning against the door. Then he searched all the walls within his field of vision, but could not find any suspicious mechanisms.

...In other words, if the moment when Shiraishi leaned against the door was really the time when the mechanism was triggered, then at that point in time, Shiraishi couldn't see Conan at all, and couldn't grasp Conan's actions.

So it should just be a coincidence. Such coincidences, while rare, are not entirely absent.

- Of course, as a detective who pays attention to science, Hattori Heiji never imagined that there was a ghost in Shiraishi who could report him.

In short, after a series of brain supplementation and trial and error, Hattori Heiji came to a conclusion.

- Conan should have disappeared near them, and the sound when disappearing is similar to the sound of the door hitting the wall, otherwise if the sound is too far off, it will not be confused with the sound of Shiraishi leaning against the door.

With the support of the guiding ideology, when Hattori Heiji approached the room that he had excluded from the beginning again ~www.readwn.com~ after a little observation, he immediately discovered the problem.

This room, and the windows of the next room, were built against the wall.

But looking from the outside with the probe, you can see that the windows are too far apart—there is probably a secret passage in the middle.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji immediately understood.

No wonder Conan immediately discovered the problem. At that time, Hattori Heiji was busy talking to the staff, and Conan ran in front, listening and looking for a window to observe the yard.

Hattori Heiji didn't think much about it at that time, and followed Conan directly into the target room, so Conan's observation of the window was much more detailed than his.

— After a little bit of making up for it, Hattori Heiji felt much better. He walked to the next door and began to look for possible traps where he could find it.

He quickly noticed the decorative frame on the wall, and the clock above the frame.

Taking a closer look, there are still a few dragged fingerprints on the transparent watch cover, as if someone grabbed it in a panic, but didn't grab it.

Hattori Heiji couldn't remember exactly what Conan's fingerprints were, but after a little comparison, he felt that the size was indeed like those left by a child.

"It should be this." Hattori Heiji and Conan had the same thoughts, and while talking to Shiraishi about the situation, they began to move the pointer.

After turning back to 12 o'clock, the mechanism on the wall flipped again.

Shiraishi raised his hand and used some force to support the wall that was turned away.

Hattori Heiji also raised his hand and pushed it against the wall, feeling the weight, and showing an "as expected" look:

"He should have disappeared from here. This kind of strength is indeed enough to involve a child... But when such an accident occurs, he never knocks on the wall, reminding us that we are obviously next door."
