Chapter 369 The ancient house (seven)(1/2)
"Fuck, why does this ancient house look European-style, and even think that this thing is made of Scottish!" Lu Yuan roared.
Naturally, he didn't know that the designer of this copy was just like this. He played nds (an ancient game console) for most of his life and moved the small games inside to the level he designed. In fact, it was great that he didn't replace Conan and others with a travel doctor with a big head and a thick neck.
OK, don't worry about this for now, Lu Yuan is still lying on the ground. He pulled the fabric strap stuck by the loose-leaf door with one hand, and hurriedly tapped the edge of the loose-leaf door with the other hand, trying to lock it open.
However, Lu Yuan couldn't find a place to start with the design of the mechanism. Oh, by the way, there was a small gap next to the loose leaf door, which looked like the floor was missing because it was disrepaired for a long time. Then the owner of the family was unwilling to pry open the floor and change it, so he covered it with a carpet.
"Xiaolan! Are you okay?" Lu Yuan shouted.
However, without a slight response, he didn't know if Xiaolan heard his screams. Anyway, the sound insulation effect of this design is really good.
Lu Yuan was surreptitious and could not just spend time with Xiaolan, so he could only pull the fabric on his hand and tear it apart, then quickly approached the portrait, and didn't bother to break it, and just swayed around.
Sure enough, with a very obvious lag, the loose leaf door under Lu Yuan's feet opened again.
The design of this loose leaf door is very tricky, just in a place where people can touch the portrait but they absolutely cannot jump. Unless you are pulling it away with a small stick, you will definitely fall.
The result was very natural, and Lu Yuan fell directly into the cave.
The loose leaf door was closed again, and the whole ancient house returned to quiet again. Everything seemed to have nothing happened, except for a carpet on the ground that seemed a bit messy...
But just a few seconds later, a small bag suddenly appeared in the messy carpet, and a piece suddenly popped out from the middle.
Immediately afterwards, the bulging thing swayed around the carpet for a while, and finally, it poked out at the edge.
It was the fat black cat who was so scared by Xiaolan that he didn't even walk smoothly that the little guy's eyes were dripping. After confirming that there was no danger around, he finally drilled his whole body out of the carpet.
Then, the fat cat came to a corner of the carpet, pulled the carpet to the side, and pulled it flat again.
The cat looked at the carpet that was flat again and seemed to be particularly satisfied. He happily got into the carpet and walked around for a few times... and then got into the small gap again and disappeared.
......
Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.
Just as Lu Yuan and others were in the old house, in a bar street in Mihua Town, a man wearing a hat and a suit was walking out of a tavern.
This thing seems to be called an izakaya in this area, which is a place where you go to drink after get off work. It is a little quieter than the bar, and is usually middle-aged people are willing to go.
The brother who walked out had obviously finished drinking, his face was filled with the unique rosy after drinking. He was alone, and no friends came out behind him, so he held the wall alone and walked onto the main road in a swaying manner. A car passed by the road, and the headlights illuminated his face.
Not a face that is too old, but he has this beard, which makes him look much older. This person is the lawyer who gave Sugiki Kazuo. He doesn't know what he was depressed because of it. Anyway, his red face was full of "I'm upset."
He just walked along the street, and suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something and stopped.
Then, he looked at a telephone pole next to him, with a missing person notice posted on it.
In the picture, there is a small child with a round head. He wears these black-framed glasses. Looking at the half-closed eyes, he seems a little stupid.
Well, it is normal for such a stupid child to get lost. I guess someone will find him on a bench in the park and bring him back in a few days.
The lawyer thought about it and continued to move forward, but after a few steps, he saw another missing person notice.
Above is a middle-aged man who looks even more stupid...
"Mori Kogoro~ Well...Mori Kogoro." The lawyer brother said a few words in his mouth, as if he thought the name sounded a little familiar.
"Hey? Isn't this guy that famous detective? Why did he lose it?"
For a moment, what was caught by the murderer, locked up by his enemy, and the bloody plot was staged in his mind. After all, the profession of detective is always a bit risky.
With the idea that the matter is not about watching the fun, the lawyer stopped and looked at the words on the missing person notice.
Name: Kogoro Mouri
Age: xx
Dressed: xxxxx
The last address appears: Shanmu's ancient house next to Highway 31 outside the western suburbs of Mikacho.
Time:xxx
Wait, most of the missing person notices are written in such a pattern, and the lawyer shrugged. As he conceived, if such a big detective was lost, everyone in the police station knew about it, anyway, they might find it in a few days.
Thinking of this, he burped and was about to move forward.
But suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, quickly came to his senses, and stared at the missing person notice on the telephone pole.
"Address...Address is..."
This guy seemed to have sobered up suddenly, his eyes widening.
"The ancient house of Shanmu family!!! It's broken! It's broken!" he shouted, then glanced at the date again: "Oh my God, it's been three days!"
He shouted, quickly ran to the side of the road, took a car, and headed straight for the western suburbs.
As for what happened to this lawyer and why he was so panicked, we don’t know, so we first turned our attention back to Lu Yuan’s side.
At this moment, Lu Yuan fell into the hole. There was a slope in the hole, and Lu Yuan slipped out like a slide.
The inclined surface is not high, at most only two or three meters, and there is a soft cushion below, so there is no injury. However, there is no light below, so it is pitch black.
Lu Yuan quickly picked up the flashlight in his hand and looked around: "Xiaolan? Where are you, Xiaolan?" he asked.
Soon, Xiaolan's voice came, and at the same time, another flashlight appeared not far away.
"I'm here." Xiaolan responded.
"Huh." Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that he was not injured, so Xiaolan, the human-shaped boss, must have been not injured either.
So Lu Yuan began to look around. After all, the plot has developed to this point, so Conan and others should be here.
But it would be fine if I didn't look at it. When Lu Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The bottom of this ancient house is really not small.
He can't tell how old he is, but judging from the echo of Xiaolan just now, maybe the area under the ancient house is similar to that above.
And because of load-bearing, there are thick walls and stone pillars everywhere below, which feels dark, just like a maze.
Xiaolan ran over in panic.
“This…here is…”
"It's obvious that it's the underground part of the ancient house. In most cases, this kind of house is built in the name of a person. Maybe in the architectural style at that time, the foundation was in this way of opening up the building." Lu Yuan also said according to his own ideas.
"But...even if the foundation is in this mode, why do you need to install a loose leaf door? It's so scary." Xiaolan said in panic.
"This...who knows, don't worry about it anyway, Mr. Maori and the others must be here, let's find it quickly." Lu Yuan said.
In this way, the two of them searched in a direction they didn't know about by using the flashlight lights.
However, before he could take two steps, Lu Yuan's hair suddenly stood up.
This feeling is very wonderful. He hasn't felt it before, but he knows that this feeling should be the passive skill and danger perception after obtaining the faceless form.
To be specific, it is probably similar to the superhero movie "Spider-Man" many years ago, that is, if there is any danger, your hair will stand upright.
Of course, this is all based on the situation where the other party's behavior is within your perception range. If people from a class similar to the [Demon Fox] want to assassinate you, then they probably have the knife on their necks and may not be able to feel it.
Lu Yuan also reacted quickly, turned the flashlight suddenly and shone in a certain direction in the darkness.
At the moment when the light and shadow flashed, Lu Yuan saw two thick lenses reflecting the light of a flashlight in the darkness, and under the lenses with white light were a small blurred figure.
The figure knelt on the ground with one leg, placed his hand straight in front of his face, and it seemed that something was aiming at him on his wrist.
Damn?
Lu Yuan was shocked,
Conan!
Anesthesia gun!
A few words instantly penetrated into my mind, and within less than half a second, they turned into behavior and rushed to the side.
Damn, Conan is here too quickly. Besides, I'm here to save you, so why do you need a shot when you meet?
In fact, this is not a fault for Conan. He has been locked in the basement and has no idea about the situation outside. So he doesn't know who this [Sumi Kazuo] is, whether it is from the Black Organization, and whether it will pose a threat to himself and the Maori family.
If there is really a threat, it will be difficult to deal with. The underground signal is not good, the sound insulation is strong, and it is dark. Otherwise, if someone comes down, he will definitely take a needle to control the opponent first. Anyway, he can use the excuse of "you fell and fainted" when he wakes up.
emmm... Thinking of this, there seemed to be a [Dark Forest] theory many years ago, it really makes sense to think of this.
But Lu Yuan doesn't want to get an injection, even if he gets one injection, it's okay, but he just doesn't want it physically.
He rushed forward with great force and fell to the ground, looking a little embarrassed, but Conan's offensive was not at all stopped. The next moment, danger came again, and a football that came out of nowhere came straight to the door of Shi Lu Yuan.
The wind sounds are not soccer, it is just a shot put with a speed of 120 per hour. If you get caught, it will definitely be a direct result.
Lu Yuan did not dare to hesitate and quickly took out a harpoon from his bag. As for the front, the next moment, he felt that the harpoon seemed to have touched some huge impact force, and almost knocked him out of his hand. Fortunately, the football was not a shot put after all. Under such contact from the harpoon, it exploded with a "bang".
This period of time was very short, but in fact it only took only two seconds in total. Xiaolan's flashlight also shone on Conan during this period.
With Conan's look, Xiaolan recognized her immediately and shouted quickly.
"Conan, it's me!"
Conan in the dark was also stunned. Looking at Xiaolan, he probably had the function of a night market in his glasses, or he could hear Xiaolan's voice.
Anyway, his offensive stopped. With a slight "beep", a football blown out of his belt fell to the ground. He bounced twice and then went to the side.
"Miss Xiaolan?" Conan's voice came, and then he ran towards Xiaolan and rushed into the other party's arms, pretending to be like a frightened child.
To be continued...
