Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 569: House of Angels (clock)

Southern Angel, at 12 noon, Conan's group of people rushed to the end, and they didn't encounter any dangerous facilities. The clock just silently followed.

After a stone brick on the base of the angel’s pillar was pressed in, a hidden door suddenly opened. Inside was a large and wide space. Only a glass bottle was placed on the central floor, and a beam of light leaking from above shined directly. On the bottle, you can see a black crystal in the bottle.

Conan took the lead into the secret room, but failed to pick up the glass bottle. The bottle seemed to be fixed on the ground, so he had to unplug the stopper and take out the black crystal inside.

"Is this the treasure of the bull?" Yuanta stared at the diamond-shaped black crystal.

"No," Conan looked at the crystal and said, "This should be the key to the next puzzle. The horns on the cow's head disappear and the tail becomes a head, which means that the direction is reversed and toward the opposite direction of noon, which is north, next. The clue must be in the tower of the northern angels, Brother Cioto..."

"Quick...hurry out!" Gao Cheng looked around with a slight condensed expression, and heard a faint sound of mechanism operation in his ears. When he turned around, he saw the clock grabbed Yuriko Matsaka and pulled it out.

Ignoring a few explanations to Conan, Gao Cheng hurriedly grabbed a few people and pushed them to the door. As time passed 12 o'clock, the floor of the secret room suddenly fell from the middle, and a huge trap appeared.

"Get out!"

Gao Chengxian grabbed the fixed glass bottle and hugged Conan who was unable to escape Bumei and threw it towards the exit. Before the secret room was completely sealed, he let go and fell into the ground with Genta.

"Boom!"

After landing, Gao Chengma turned on the watch flashlight and looked around, and found Yuanta who was lying on the stone floor without any movement.

"Yuantai! Wake up, Yuantai!"

Gao Cheng checked Yuantai's condition and found that it was not a big problem to breathe flatly: "Quickly wake up!"

Yuanta muttered in a daze: "Brother Joto... let's have another eel rice..."

"No eel rice! I still want to eat this time!"

Gao Cheng scowled Yuanta's back and looked up again with a flashlight.

The underground is not too high. Perhaps when the agency was designed, it was not designed to kill people, but it is impossible to go up here.

However, the tunnel here is very similar to that of the East Hall, and the Southern Angel Underground seems to be a maze.

In this case, you can go out through the heater in the East Building. The question is whether the labyrinth here is connected to the East Building...

Outside the Southern Angel Tower, several Conan stood silently in front of the re-enclosed entrance, still not recovering from the sudden change.

"What to do?" Bu Mei, who was finally sent out of the secret room by Gao Cheng, whimpered, "Big Brother Cioto and Genta..."

"Uncle Clock," Conan looked at the clock who had saved Yuriko with a sullen face, "you knew the mechanism there right from the beginning?"

"I'm sorry," the clock greeted everyone. "As the executor of the master's will, everything is done in accordance with the rules. This institution is also part of the challenge..."

"Then why would you still save Yuriko?"

"With this time to question, you might as well solve the riddles quickly, or rescue the city detectives..."

The clock was wearing sunglasses and there was no expression, and Conan’s detective badges suddenly rang as the atmosphere solidified.

"Kyoto?" Conan was stunned, and hurriedly took out the detective badge, "Is it Shiro... Brother Kioto? How about you there?"

"This should be an underground labyrinth," Gao Cheng carried Yuanta on his back and walked along the tunnel. "I and Yuanta will find the way first. If we go to the East Hall, we should be able to get out. What's your situation?"

"We are all okay," Conan looked at the Xiao Ai who surrounded him. "We will enter the maze from the East Hall later. Judging from the condition of the skeleton, the maze should be connected."

"I know."

Gao Cheng put away the detective badge, looked at Yuanta who was sleeping on his back, and sighed with a wry smile.

The little fat man didn't sleep much last night, but now he sleeps very peacefully, and he doesn't have to worry about being trapped in the underground maze.

Abandoning the idea of ​​waking Yuanta up, Gao Cheng used the flashlight to get a panoramic view of the surrounding environment.

He is indeed very disoriented and has lost his way many times, but at the same time he is also a detective, and there is really no way to get out of the maze.

After picking up a stone and making a record at the intersection, Gao Cheng continued to step into the next passage, because he did not lose his position when he fell into the trap, so the only thing he was sure of was that he was heading towards the east hall, so he made a mistake. The road is not completely clueless, and finally ends up with the bones.

The tunnel was extremely quiet, with only the sound of Gao Cheng's footsteps and the sound of Yuanta's drooling while talking in her dreams, and there were many forks in the road. After a while, she turned back to the original intersection.

Looking at the mark left by himself at the intersection, Gao Cheng continued to explore the road without saying a word.

On the other side, there is Conan. He doesn't worry much about getting out of the maze. What he cares most about is the puzzle in the Angel's Mansion.

Now it seems that the previous part of Conan's analysis should be correct. The remaining clue lies in the northern angel, but "the angel will fall from the sky, blowing the flute..." This sentence is a bit strange.

The Angel of the North, including other angel statues, seem to have no such mechanism in the secret signal.

"Brother Joto," Conan on the other side contacted again with a detective badge, "Did you hear anything just now?"

"No, you have entered the maze?"

"Yes, we brought a thread in from the exit, just like borrowing a ball of thread to leave the maze in the story of the half-length tauren... If you don't hear a sound, it means that we are still some distance away..."

"Conan, I don't need to worry here," Gao Cheng interrupted, "time is running out, now the most important thing is to help Yuriko solve the mystery..."

"Actually," Conan paused, "As I said before, the next clue to the puzzle lies in the northern angel, but to open the northern angel tower, you need to wait until midnight, midnight, but we will arrive at 9 o'clock in the evening. I couldn't think of what to do. There was a high voltage current for thieves in the Tower of Angels of the North, and I couldn't get close to it before I waited...

"Moreover, it's still a question whether Mr. Clock is credible."

"Clock?"

"Yes, he deliberately announced the puzzle at nine o'clock in the evening, so that he would have to wait until noon the next day to open the South Tower. Even if the challenger finds that the next clue is in the North Tower, he can only open it the fastest. I can wait until midnight that day..." Conan frowned, "No matter who challenges it, it's impossible to complete it within 24 hours..."

"But," Xiao Ai said questioningly, "what good is this for him? Even if all challengers fail..."

"What if he is an heir after Yuriko?" Conan said solemnly, "If he wants to formally take the treasure as his own as the heir, that makes sense. I'm afraid the so-called protection is only to monitor us. It's just hindering us..."

"wrong."

Gao Cheng silently carried Genta back to the intersection again, and suddenly interrupted Conan’s reasoning: "There is no reason Isekawa Gozo could not foresee this situation. The rich man called the bull must choose Mr. Clock. Is there any reason that it will not be a completely unrelated outsider to prevent outsiders from stealing the treasure, but it will not be someone who can inherit the inheritance..."

Conan was stunned: "Brother Joto, what do you know?"

"I was surprised when Mr. Clock found me. In fact, he should be able to find Yuriko even without me, so his purpose should be to help me solve the mystery of the Angel Mansion..."

Gao Cheng said calmly: "Mr. Clock is a person related to the Isegawa family~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is not wrong. He is a relative of Isegawa, he has no inheritance rights, and he has abandoned his original name. Become a secretary, and finally be an executor. You won’t be free until the puzzle is solved..."

"Could it be..."

"Yes, it seems clear in this way."

Gao Cheng stopped at the intersection.

"Hated by Isegawa Gozo, and at the same time a relative of Isegawa, he has no inheritance rights... and saved Yuriko from the Southern Angel Tower just now. Those who meet these conditions are the only ones who elope with Yuriko's mother."

Gao Cheng smiled slightly and said: "I have specifically checked that the body of Yuriko's father was not found. What is certain is that the car rushed out of the cliff and fell into the sea."

"Mr. Clock is Yuriko's father?" Ayumi and the others looked at the bewildered Yuriko at the same time.

"This is very likely. In any case, Isegawa will not choose the executor casually," Gao Cheng looked forward and said, "Okay, I seem to be able to hear your voices. Go out first."
