Corpse collector in Conan

Toru Amuro only thought that Nishikawa Susumi was talking nonsense.

He carefully looked at the wall when Nishikawa Suimei came out. He freed up a hand and knocked on the wall, then tentatively fiddled with the sconce on the wall and pushed it down.

The wall rotated open, revealing a deep passage behind it.

Amuro Toru looked inside and guessed: "Could it be that Jiang Xia got lost or couldn't come out for other reasons? You discovered this, so you are pretending to be a hostage..."

"Also." Toru Amuro looked at Nishikawa Susumi's wrist, "Although your face is very old, other aspects do not look like an 80-year-old man who sits in a wheelchair every day, and you actually came to sneak attack in person... You No other helpers?"

Nishikawa Suimei: "..."

The only thing she regrets now is that she didn't turn around and run away when she was hiding in the secret passage.

But now, it was too late to regret it. Xi Chuan Suimei could only bite the bullet and sneered: "Forget it if you don't believe it."

Toru Amuro was silent for a moment. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that this ridiculously weak woman was capable of kidnapping Jiang Xia.

However, it is indeed strange that Jiang Xia has disappeared for so long.

So Toru Amuro guessed that there might be some mechanism hidden in the secret passage of the castle. The fake old lady couldn't defeat her head-on, so she secretly moved some device to trap people in a very insidious way.

After thinking for a moment, Toru Amuro decided to remind Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko first and ask them to find a place to hide with the elementary school students next to them to prevent these three people from becoming new hostages if they turned around.

Once the prospective hostages are settled, he can escort the old lady into the secret passage to find Jiang Xia.

However, as soon as Toru Amuro reached the corner, a shadow suddenly hit him in front of him. He was startled and wanted to hide, but suddenly he remembered that there was an innocent child next to him, so he had to raise his hands to fight.

The expected blow did not come. Instead, there was a huff and a ball of tablecloth spread out in front of his eyes, shining down head-on.

Toru Amuro was startled. He rarely encountered such crooked sneak attacks. It took him a while to pull off the tablecloth on his body.

When his view was unobstructed, he found that the fake old lady next to him had disappeared, and a few meters away, an open wall was about to close, and a dark skirt vaguely flashed through the gap.

Toru Amuro rushed over quickly, but it was already too late - the rotating wall was firmly closed in front of him, and it could not be opened by flipping the switch. It seemed to be locked from the inside.

...This fake old lady actually has an accomplice.

Speaking of which, the pattern on the skirt of that accomplice seems to have been seen somewhere before.

Toru Amuro walked back to the place thoughtfully, picked up another tangled tablecloth, and shook out the Conan inside - the mysterious helper seemed to be prepared, and while blocking his sight with the tablecloth, he also threw it towards the children. piece. Even the children are not spared, it is so...

Tohru Amuro felt that an adjective like "crazy" should be put here.

But he looked at the two innocuous tablecloths on the ground and hesitated.

...Forget it, no matter what, it's a good thing if the helper doesn't hurt anyone, which means Jiang Xia is probably still alive.

Toru Amuro felt much more relaxed.

Just when he was about to knock on the wall and look for other entrances, Conan suddenly said: "The person who took away the wife was Anonymous!" After saying that, he was afraid that Toru Amuro didn't know what he meant, so he added, "It was published in the newspaper Yes, the anonymous person who jumped out of the car with a bomb!

Just now, although Conan was hindered by the tablecloth, he quickly struggled out, and like Toru Amuro, he saw the skirt of Anonymous when he entered the secret passage.

Conan's observation angle is inherently low. Not to mention that he had almost bumped into Anonymous's skirt before on the Shinkansen, so he was very impressed by that special pattern.

Recognizing the identity of the "mysterious helper", the two looked at each other and remained silent at the same time - why did the anonymous person appear in this castle and get together with the madam?

What's even more troublesome is that if the helper is Anonymous, then she may indeed succeed in knocking Jiang Xia's sap off - although no one has ever seen Anonymous fight, when she jumped from the bridge with a bomb, she still had no arms or legs. Even with the use of props, her physical strength must not be weak.

Toru Amuro's expression gradually became serious, and at the same time he was a little lucky. Jiang Xia should be able to survive - judging from various previous intelligence, Anonymous did not like killing people, she was just a little greedy for money.

...Wait, greedy for money?

Could it be that she was attracted to the Feng Shui pill in Jiang Xia's hand? !

...But, what does this have to do with saving Mrs. Tai? They don't look like they are traveling together.

Um? Wait a minute and combine the two speculations - maybe the anonymous person is not an accomplice of the Dowager Madam. Instead, she discovered that Jiang Xia was carrying a valuable treasure, so she chased them all the way to the castle. However, when she was about to rob Jiang Xia, she suddenly discovered that Jiang Xia was missing, so Anonymous captured the suspicious Tai Fu, trying to find Jiang Xia... …

…

Jiang Xia didn't know that his two teammates were starting to think wildly again. He didn't have time to speculate on Toru Amuro and Conan's thoughts - anyway, this vest status was very free and could be used as he pleased.

The tablecloth he threw at the two people just now was purely to hinder the protagonists' movements, not to prevent himself from being seen.

Xi Chuan Suimei was pulled into the secret passage and walked for a while before finally coming back to her senses. She looked at the woman next to her who was pulling her away in shock: "Who are you!?"

Why do you look like you know so much about secret passages? And...why save her?

Anonymous turned around, smiled mysteriously at Xichuan Suimei, and lowered his voice and said, "Want to know where the treasure is."

Xi Chuan Suimei was startled and grabbed her excitedly: "Where is it!?"

"The chess piece sculpture on the lawn refers to EGG HEAD, the old man who left the treasure. And there happens to be a portrait of him in the hall."

Anonymous said in a kind tone: "Turn it to the left, and the entrance to the treasure will be revealed behind it."

Xi Chuan Suimei's eyes lit up and her heart was beating fast. She shook off Anonymous, figured out the direction, and stumbled towards the exit of the secret passage closest to the hall.
