Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

"...Can a distance sign be set up in this broken tunnel?"

"If you walk a few kilometers, you can go directly through Nagano to Tottori Prefecture!"

Gin complained as he walked.

Walking alone is actually a very lonely thing.

Even if Gin could bear the loneliness, it was still a bit torturous to be in the quiet underground with no human voice, no chirping of insects or birds, just listening to his own breathing, walking through a tunnel with no idea where the end is.

people.

Fortunately, humans are all animals with potential.

Because they can talk to themselves to relieve the loneliness of the journey.

However, continuing it for too long is not an option.

Gin had stopped moving forward more than once, pondering the feasibility of running back at full speed or rushing forward.

“The back part of this tunnel clearly looks in disrepair, and is far different from the decoration below the annex.

…Could it be built to protect against air raids?”

Gin's pace quickened a lot - he didn't want to stay in this poor place for too long, nor did he want to give up halfway.

It's already here, it's better to settle it quickly.

However, this secret passage seemed a bit fishy to Gin:

Such a long secret passage through the mountain was not taken care of, and was deliberately blocked with a thick stone wall as a cover. Even Gin searched around and found no usable mechanism. Instead, after smashing the stone wall, he found that the back of the stone wall and

There were traces of suspected mechanisms in the wall, but they were all broken. Gin didn't study these things carefully. He just thought that there might be something weird hidden deep in the secret passage...

The result is a tunnel that cannot be reached to the end.

Moreover, the entire secret passage is not neat and tidy. The soil is messy and some scraps of cloth can occasionally be seen on the ground, which are almost corroded.

One kilometer, two kilometers...

Four kilometers...

Just when Gin suspected that he might run a ten-kilometer marathon, the road ahead finally changed:

The road that had been gentle and slightly downward suddenly began to rise.

'Are we reaching the exit?'

Gin thought to himself, and slowed down his steps, making no sound as he stepped on the dirt road. The only light source was still the flashlight in his hand.

However, in this environment, he was still a little careless and did not notice that in the mound of soil above his head, there was a small piece of something different from a stone that was constantly flashing a faint light, which was extremely inconspicuous...

The ascending dirt road took three turns before finally reaching the end.

The road at the end has been paved with stone slabs again, and the space at the end has become wider again, about ten square meters; on the right side there is a row of randomly built steps, connected to a stone wall that looks very problematic.

——You don’t need to think about it to know that this must be some kind of agency door.

"... I dug a cross-provincial tunnel and installed secret doors at both ends. What's the point? Throw people in, run a marathon and let them suffocate to death?"

In order to alleviate the overly quiet atmosphere, Gin couldn't help but complain in his mind.

Of course, it is impossible to suffocate to death. He found several ventilation holes in the tunnel along the way. He must have considered at that time that people walking below might suffer from hypoxia.

However, there is still a big problem:

How should he open the secret door?

Although it can be punched open, but... who knows if there is a mole star's home behind this wall?

Gin could only confirm that he was no longer in Nagano Prefecture, but he couldn't tell whether the specific location was in the mountains or in a residential area.

"Click..."

Gin took a few steps forward and was about to check the stone wall when a faint sound penetrated his ears.

Gin's heart jumped, and he immediately turned off the flashlight, and then quickly ran to the bottom of the steps.

——In this place, even if the secret door is opened, it is considered a blind spot until one completely steps down.

Click, click——

Squeak...

Accompanied by a noisy grinding sound of mechanical gears and rust, Gin, who was crouching in the shadows, could clearly see a wider and wider light door taking shape on the dim ground.

And what shines on the ground together with the light door is a straight figure...

Gin held his breath for a moment.

However, for some reason, the figure standing in front of the secret door did not move. Through the shadow on the ground, you could still see his head looking around.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Not a single shadow or person moved, as if time had stood still...

But at this moment, the figure standing at the door of the secret door spoke:

"Please don't worry, I don't mean any harm..."

The camera in the passage has informed you of your arrival. Please come up. It is too dark underground.

The master has already prepared a meal and has prepared one for you."

The last sentence is full of kindness.

After the figure finished speaking, he waited for two seconds and then left from the door, leaving only the secret door open.

After waiting for a while, Gin quietly revealed his head. He stared at the door with squinted eyes for a while, then pricked up his ears to make sure that the other party was not standing inside preparing for a sneak attack. Then he stood up carefully, carried the box, and headed towards

Walk to the light.

It was indeed his carelessness that he failed to spot the camera.

Kaka...kaka——

After passing through the secret door, a large European-style restaurant suddenly opened up.

After taking a few steps, the secret door behind him closed automatically.

When it was closed, Gin realized that the secret door was actually the entire fireplace...

"Mr. Gin, please sit down. I will be down soon."

The white-haired servant stood at the corner of the dining table, bowed slightly, said only one sentence, and went upstairs along the wooden stairs.

Gin opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his mouth. After thinking for a while, he still didn't stop the somewhat old servant and ask him how he knew him.

He found a chair closest to the secret door and sat down. Gin's heart was filled with excitement——

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

If it really is that person...

Gin took a deep breath, crossed his hands to support his chin, and tried to keep his mind calm and calm.

About ten minutes later, Gin heard a "ding" sound, and the wooden board under the stairs slowly opened, revealing two old people standing in the elevator room.

Gin: "..."

He never expected that this place could also be used as an elevator.

In the elevator, there was an old man sitting in a wheelchair who looked a little depressed, and his condition was much worse than that of the old servant pushing the wheelchair.

The two of them walked out of the elevator one after another and looked around the restaurant.

The old man in the wheelchair has a blank look in his eyes:

"Where are the people?"

Gin: "..." In front of you, old man!

The old servant was also in a daze: "Master, he was still here before I went up..."

Gin: "..." He's here now!

"...Have you left already?" The old man in the wheelchair seemed even more tired, "But how did he trigger the mechanism?"

"this……"

"Cough cough cough!"

Gin finally had to speak out and show his presence.

The air fell silent again.

Six eyes facing each other.

You guys are a little embarrassed.
