Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 175: Monster old woman

Gao Cheng picked up the blood-stained hat vigilantly, and his gaze fell on the half-open Jiao Pagoda door.

A section of the corridor connected to the main building collapsed, exposing the stone tower to wind and rain. It can be seen that the original fire was quite serious.

Gao Cheng gently opened the tower door and turned on the flashlight again.

This side should have been locked. There are only two possibilities for Conan's hat to appear here for no reason. One is that Conan was brought here, and the other is that the secret prisoner is deliberately tempting him.

The possibility of the latter is undoubtedly greater, and the prisoner may be waiting for him somewhere in the Jiao Tower...

interesting.

Gao Cheng walked to the scorched stairs, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

It's great to find the murderer by reasoning, but he doesn't reject direct violence to solve it. If he is alone, he wouldn't mind having fun with the prisoner, but of course it is best to make a quick decision now.

"Click." Suddenly there was a slight movement outside the tower, and someone stepped on a small branch.

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng stopped and listened carefully, turning around and rushing out of the tower without giving anyone a chance to react.

It was not the murderer who appeared in front of him, but the startled Bu Mei, and even Hui Yuan stood aside.

"You guys..."

Gao Cheng looked at Bu Mei who were grinning in confusion, and pulled Hui Yuan over and said, "What's the matter, don't you want you to look at them?"

"No way," Huihara said helplessly, "some of them sneaked out without authorization..."

"Because we are all worried about Conan."

Bumi clutched a bag full of bread, and looked at Gao Cheng eagerly.

"Please, we also want to help. If we are here, we can definitely find Conan soon."

Gao Cheng's heart was dry, and it was even more troublesome to have these little ghosts following, but it wouldn't work to just leave it alone, it's even worse for these bear kids to run around on their own.

"Whatever you do, don't die."

"what?"

In the end, Bu Mei followed Gao Cheng into the charred stone tower, courageous but very scared of the surroundings, and gathered around Gao Cheng.

I really owed these guys in my last life...

"What is this?" Gao Cheng looked at the bread bag strangely.

"Because Conan didn't even eat, we left Conan bread, otherwise Conan would starve to death..."

"How can it be so easy to starve to death?"

Gao Cheng walked in the scorched tower, with nothing unusual on the wall beside it, empty, with no debris.

"Let's look for it, there should be a secret road here too." Gao Chengchao Bumei said.

Not only did he want to find Conan, he also wanted to get out the guy in the dark quickly, otherwise he didn't feel at ease.

"It's so dark here, it's dirty." The little fat man Yuantai looked around the black wall with a flashlight.

"Of course, it was on fire four years ago."

Mitsuhiko fumbled for the wall vigorously, and walked into the toilet on the second floor unknowingly: "Hey, Brother Joto, come and take a look. There seems to be something wrong with the wall here, it's empty inside."

"Really!" Bumei and several people gathered around Mitsuhiko who kept beating the wall.

"But I can't push it away..."

"Have you forgotten? There are agencies at the secret passage entrance here." Gao Cheng looked outside vigilantly, and followed into the toilet.

The toilet is in tatters. Of course, there is no clock as a mechanism. There are only dusty washstands, broken mirrors, and a dirty toilet. The hidden secret door is next to the toilet.

Gao Cheng walked around and noticed the weird decorative light above the toilet.

"Is it this one?"

After trying to turn, with a clear sound of hinge transmission, the hidden door next to it clicked open, revealing a small dark space.

There was nothing inside, only a hole and an escalator leading downstairs. Before they could wait for Gao Chengduo to say, Yuantai and the others had already dived in excitement.

Gao Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, worrying about a few people having trouble, and hurriedly followed Hui Yuan to keep up.

"You came here deliberately, what should be investigated?" Hui Yuan asked Gao Cheng at this opportunity.

"The person who took Conan this time should have nothing to do with the fire that happened four years ago. He may have set off the fire deliberately. He was a cruel fellow..."

Gao Cheng lightly sighed and looked at the Bumei people who were searching everywhere in the secret road: "If we are not here, these guys don't know how to die. Really, when can I save a snack?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. What do you think will happen to a child of this age, plus that sloppy little detective?" Hui Yuan said flatly.

Gao Cheng helplessly turned to Hui Yuan and said, "What about the secret code of the treasure? Do you have any clues?"

"There is nothing particularly difficult about that chessboard," Huihara walked forward calmly, "I'll talk about it after I get out."

"Not difficult?"

Gao Cheng scratched the back of his head.

He didn't understand what was going on...

"Big Brother Cioto!" Bumei's surprised voice came from the front, "There is someone over there!"

"Someone? Wait a minute..."

"Ah! It's a skeleton, a skeleton!"

"There will be corpses here," Gao Cheng walked over the shivering Bumei to a white-haired skeleton, "They have all turned into bones, and they have been dead for a long time..."

Huiyuan came over: "What's the matter with this corpse?"

"Originally it shouldn't be placed here," Gao Cheng checked the surrounding situation and turned to the surroundings in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it was transferred after Conan found out."

"Transfer?"

"It's troublesome because of being discovered." Gao Cheng's eyes fell in the dark corner behind him. "Fifteen people died in the fire four years ago, and even their bones were burned to ashes. The report at the time mentioned the use of relics. After distinguishing the identity, it was found that one of them was missing...Is that right, the former housekeeper who used the fire to impersonate Mrs. Tai?

"It's time to come out after tracking for so long, right?"

"What are you talking about?" The ugly old lady slowly walked out of the darkness~www.NovelMTL.com~ I just heard the movement and came over to see, what happened? "

"Oh? Can you walk on your feet?"

Gao Cheng looked at the old lady directly, but he didn't expect that this guy would come out when he was excited.

"This skeletal foot bone is much thinner than other places. It seems that the foot had a problem and couldn't walk. She was still an old woman... There was another last word in the secret road on the other side. Isn't it a coincidence?"

"Hmph, you deserve to be a famous detective who has gained fame recently. He actually knows so much. If you haven't been able to find the treasure, I won't come to you. I can only blame you for your bad life."

The old lady’s glasses reflected light, she took out a steel pipe from her back, and smiled grimly: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you be left in the dark basement like this old woman. When you die in two or three days, I’ll take you and The spectacle kid lay out in the woods together."

"Big Brother Cioto..." Bu Mei was so scared that he held onto Gao Cheng tightly.

Gao Cheng stopped a few people behind him and asked calmly: "Madame and the servants who starved to death two years ago, are you killing them?"

"Yes," the old lady's face was even more ugly, and she raised her steel pipe with a grinning smile, "I came to this castle for the treasure, but the old woman actually wanted to drive me out after seeing it through, so I can only pretend to be her... "

"16 lives, for a treasure that does not know the truth or not, is it worth it that you killed so many people?" Gao Cheng's eyes narrowed and he took the initiative to walk towards the monster-like old woman.

"what?"

The old woman's face changed, and she rushed towards Gao Cheng with a roar, her vigorous skills contrasted sharply with the old deformed face: "Nosy fellow! Who told you to be smart and pursue it!") Book friends, hurry up and pay attention!
