Corpse collector in Conan

Thinking of this, Vodka silently retracted Lahei's hand.

Forget it, a real warrior must dare to face the challenge from the enemy: In short, let’s see what Uzo wants to do first. At worst, if he receives similar news in the future, he will pretend not to see it...

…

Two men in black quickly arrived at the lady's room and pushed open the door. On the wall opposite the door, a large oil painting with fresh colors jumped into view.

Compared to the other rooms he had seen before, Gin was not interested in this pink room.

He walked to the most conspicuous oil painting, slowly lifted it up, and looked at the wall behind, but found nothing.

Vodka was a few steps behind him. Seeing that his elder brother had already begun to check, he was too embarrassed to stay idle, so he looked at the medium-sized oil painting on the side wall next to him. He lifted it up casually like Gin, and looked at the painting meaningfully. blocking wall.

Then suddenly he was stunned.

"...Brother." Vodka's face was twisted, feeling like he had drawn a ghost card in a lottery, "Behind this painting, there is a hidden cabinet embedded in the wall."

"?" Gin didn't expect that the room was full of paintings. Vodka opened one at random and found the target.

He thought for a moment, and instead of going directly, he casually opened a few other paintings.

But behind those paintings, there are empty walls.

Only the one with Vodka's hand has a locked cabinet door hidden on the wall behind it.

Gin Jiu nodded slightly: "You are actually quite lucky."

Vodka: "..." Whoever loves this bad luck wants it!

Although I wish I could go back a few seconds and interrupt my hand that was flipping through the oil paintings.

But now, the hidden cabinets have been found. As a cadre of a mysterious organization, he can't just move the painting back to its original position and pretend that nothing happened.

Vodka had no choice but to take a deep breath, take off the oil painting and put it aside.

The door of the cabinet built into the wall is locked, and there is a keyhole on the left side. Vodka found the lock picking tool and reached in to pry a few times.

Then he was disappointed to find that the lock was not too difficult to pick. After a few clicks, there was a click and the cabinet door popped open a crack.

Vodka stepped back a little, and slowly opened the cabinet door from a distance.

No poison spewed, no arrow shot.

——What was exposed in the cabinet was not a terrifying mechanism, but a large pile of jewelry at the bottom of the cabinet. Large gems were inlaid on the golden jewelry, which dazzled the eyes.

"It's truly a 'treasure hunt' activity worthy of the name. It's worthy of being a man who can build a castle." Even though he had seen the world of vodka, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he suddenly saw so many "windfalls" displayed in front of him.

But then he became suspicious again: How could Uzo be so kind and give up the treasure to others?

But then I thought about it: Uzo has always taken money lightly. In his eyes, a heavy gold bar may not be as good as an interesting mission target.

Vodka: "..." This kid Uzo probably wants to use him as a coolie - after all, this pile of gold is very heavy at first glance.

Thinking of this, Vodka reached in skillfully like he used to steal some safes for mission targets, intending to pull the things into the bag.

Just as he reached in, there was a click, and the handcuffs hidden at the bottom of the cabinet suddenly popped out and closed abruptly, cuffing his hands firmly to the bottom of the cabinet.

The next moment, Gin suddenly noticed something and looked at the roof with a frown.

Vodka instinctively looked along his line of sight, and was stunned for a moment - directly above him, the ceiling opened silently, and countless swords pointed downwards, whizzing down like sharp meteors.

Vodka's face turned pale: "!!!"

He originally wanted to let out a dying scream and an unwilling curse on Uzo before he died.

But before he could make a sound, Gin pinched his mouth, blocking out any screams that might alarm others.

…

There was a clatter of chains.

Then everything calmed down.

——The moment before the swords were inserted into the human body, they were pulled by the chains connected to the tails and hung in the air.

"Idiot, this is different from the usual safes. This kind of castle left to future generations will inevitably have various hidden mechanisms, but they will not be fatal." Gin took back the hand that was holding the vodka and wiped it with disgust.

He observed for a moment and then pried open the lock on the handcuffs.

The handcuffs opened with a click and retracted to the bottom of the cabinet. The blade hanging above the head was also rolled back by the mechanism hidden in the ceiling and retracted.

Vodka snorted and took back his hand, his face turned green and white, and he looked a little sluggish. He didn't know if he had not recovered, or if he was concentrating on scolding Uzo, or if he was scolding the master of the castle who created the mechanism, he had no time to distinguish. Heart.

The cabinet door was not closed. Gin used the muzzle of his gun to poke at the jewelry inside. When he found that the handcuffs had not popped out again, he flipped through the treasures inside to check.

"There are few genuine items, just toys used to match the mechanisms in the room."

Gin threw the jewelry back, snorted, and closed the cabinet door.

He thought about the information Jiang Xia had passed on when he was bored, and thought: "If you want to build a castle of this size, it is impossible to raise enough funds just by selling the gems on the 'Egg of Memory'. Her great-grandfather named Kasaka is probably I sold most of my family’s jewelry before I had the money to build this building.”

"The style is similar to a German castle..." These speculations, combined with the previous information, seemed to give Gin some guesses.

He suddenly laughed softly: "I see, no wonder Maria's ring has been spread in Japan."

Vodka: "...?" What does the elder brother know?

After hesitating for a moment, he picked a keyword and asked carefully: "An old castle in Germany?"

Just ask one word, never more - if Brother Gin wants to talk, he will naturally follow the topic. If you don't want to say more, then this sentence is just his vodka talking to himself.

And it turned out that Gin was in a pretty good mood. Today he looked like a tourist visiting antiques. When he heard this question, he actually answered: "Alexandra Feodorovna, the empress of Tsar Nicholas II and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. , and she is also the mother of the missing princess Maria - she is a German."

Vodka was startled and barely understood Gin's bold conjecture: "In other words, the reason why this castle was built in the German style was because of the influence of the German queen? Was it because of this that Kasaka Natsumi's great-grandfather was doing it?" A queen builds a castle?!"

——I have long heard that the relationship between the royal family is chaotic, but I didn’t expect it to be so chaotic! A craftsman can actually be like the queen...

As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that Gin was looking at an idiot.
