Repair the world of Conan

When Ye Ling left the room with Genta and Mitsuhiko and quietly conducted investigations in the castle, in another room, Dr. A Li was discussing with Conan

"Shinichi, haven't you figured out the secret code on that chessboard yet?"The doctor asked curiously. In his impression, Shinichi was very good at deciphering codes. Checkerboard-type codes should be very simple. Why didn't Shinichi solve it after spending the whole afternoon?

Conan kept thinking. Sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to the bed, he said:"It actually took me a few minutes to figure out that secret code, but I plan to confirm it later.""

"Why?"The doctor is obviously confused.

"Because the fire four years ago was very suspicious, I planned to find out about it first, as well as the incident of the male servant starving to death four years ago. After thinking about it, Conan raised his head and added,"If my guess is right, Ye Ling thinks so too." The doctor was shocked and asked:"

You mean, Ye Ling has also unlocked the code?""

"I have to admit that Ye Ling's reasoning ability is on par with mine. If I can decipher the code, he will definitely be able to decipher the code as well."Conan felt a little guilty when he said the word"equal", but the doctor didn't hear it.

……

At the same time, in another corridor on the second floor of the castle, in front of a locked room door, Ye Ling, Yuanta and Mitsuhiko were standing here. The small lights on the wall were very dim, and the entire castle was immersed in a quiet atmosphere.

Ye Ling took out the fork in front of the two children and bent the other tines, leaving only one tinet that stuck into the keyhole of the door. He pretended to pick the lock, but in fact he used his superpower to rewrite the code and let the door lock open automatically.

Hearing the"click" sound, Genta and Mitsuhiko were stunned,"Really, it really opened!"

"so amazing! Brother Ye Ling, you must teach me this trick when you have time!" Yuantai requested impatiently

"Let’s talk about this later, let’s go investigate first."Ye Ling replied.

The children nodded hurriedly, followed Ye Ling into the room, and then closed the door. The room was pitch dark and nothing could be seen, but soon a light source appeared. It was Dr. Ali who gave the children Invented watch. This watch is also equipped with an LED bulb, which can provide continuous lighting time ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the remaining power.

Ye Ling used his mobile phone as a lighting tool, and the three of them borrowed These light sources can also be used to clearly see the layout of the room.

"Sure enough, Mr. Man is lying," Yuantai said with clenched fists:"He said that this room is for storing sundries, but it is so empty and there is no sundry at all."

"But there's nothing strange about it. Mitsuhiko glanced at everything in the room and couldn't help but be confused:"Since it is an ordinary room, why would he lie?""

Ye Ling smiled,"It's simple, because he doesn't want you to find out there is something wrong with the wall."

"wall?"After hearing this, Mitsuhiko and Genta stood in the corner and observed. Genta didn't see the reason. Mitsuhiko was indeed a detective, and he immediately realized something was wrong."Ah! I know, the room where we watch the chessboard during the day is next to this room, but the wall that separates the two rooms is too thick!"

The wall of this room is close to the window, and the wall of the next room is also close to the window, but the windows of the two rooms are far apart, indicating that the wall is at least one meter thick."But why is the wall so thick?"

"Because there is a secret passage hidden inside the wall."Ye Ling stood on tiptoes as he spoke, opened the cover of the wall clock on the wall, and turned the hands of the wall clock with his fingers. When the hands reached 12 o'clock, there was a sudden"click" sound, and the wall in front of him was like a revolving door. It opened, and a dark passage appeared in front of the three of them.

Gentai and Mitsuhiko were stunned,"Really, there really is a secret passage."……"This kind of scene, which usually only appears in movies, really appeared in front of them, and they all felt a little unreal.

When they were in a daze, Ye Ling had already walked into the passage, and they hurriedly followed him.

……

After entering the passage, there was a downward staircase. Yuantai felt that it was eerie here, but fortunately he was accompanied by Ye Ling, so he was not timid. After the three of them walked for a while, the stairs turned into a flat road. Using the light of the flashlight, they could vaguely see two black figures lying against the wall in front of them. They seemed to be people.

"Ah, brother Ye Ling, look, there are two people there!"Mitsuhiko shouted.

One of the black figures saw the light approaching, and immediately twisted and made a sound with its nose. When the three of them came closer, Genta and Mitsuhiko almost sat down on the ground in fright, because the black shadow was indeed a human being. , but only one is alive, and the other is dead. Even the muscles on the body have disappeared, leaving only a bare skeleton wrapped in clothes.

"Ah! skeleton! Skeleton!"

Ye Ling ignored the two little devils and squatted down to take out the ball of cloth from the man's mouth. This man was the missing gardener. As for the skeleton next to him, it was the lady herself who was trapped in the secret passage and died many years ago.

The foreign object in the gardener's mouth was taken out, and the rope on his body was untied. After regaining his freedom, he immediately asked Ye Ling:"You, who are you?"He thought that a fellow servant in the castle had discovered the secret passage, so he came down to save himself. But when he looked closer, he realized that he had never seen the man in front of him.

Moreover, this man also had two children with him. Where did the child come from?

"I am the detective invited by Mr. Man to find the treasure. Who are you?"Ye Ling pretended not to know anything.

The gardener was startled for a moment, then replied:"My name is Tabata Katsuo, and I am the gardener in the castle. Mitsuhiko couldn't help but interjected and asked,"Excuse me, why are you locked up here?""

After hearing these words, the gardener seemed to suddenly realize something, slapped his forehead and said:"Oops! You have to tell Master Man about this as soon as possible! The lady outside is actually a fake!"

"What's the meaning?"Ye Ling asked knowingly, and the children were also confused.

The gardener explained angrily:"In the early hours of this morning, I saw the door of the utility room open, and walked in to check out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tai's wheelchair was parked there, but Mrs. Tai was not sitting in the wheelchair. Just when I was confused, I heard something moving behind me. When I looked back, I saw the paralyzed lady standing upright and hitting me on the head with a stick.……"

The old woman who couldn't walk stood upright. Genta and Mitsuhiko felt creepy listening to the gardener's description.

"How do you know the madam is a fake?"Ye Ling asked:"Maybe I'm just pretending to be paralyzed?"

"No! That person is not the dowager at all, because the real dowager is here. The gardener pointed to the skeleton on the side and said:"This skeleton is wearing the clothes of the dowager. I saw the dowager wearing it four years ago."

The gardener continued to explain:"Four years ago, there was a fire in the stone tower. More than a dozen people died, but one maid was missing. That maid's name was Nishikawa Mutsumi." She must have killed the madam and then used the fire to assume her identity."
