Conan Rick's Investigator

She let out a distorted scream and quickly turned and ran away.

The corpse behind him did not give up either, and began to chase with his feet floating in the air and his body stiff.

……

In the narrow secret room, Conan, who felt hungry, lay on the ground in a comfortable and unsightly position.

Really...why is Qin Zhibo so slow?

Conan regards Qin Zhibo as his "star of hope", and at this moment he is only thinking about how to successfully handle this case, so that he can have enough physical strength to maintain a handsome posture when he is solved.

How can you be handsome when you are tied up?

Well, at least not too bad...

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps were heard in the secret passage.

It must be Qin Zhibo!

It was Qin Zhibo outside who saw through that person's disguise and came to rescue himself!

Seeing hope of being rescued, Conan quickly exerted force on his abdominal muscles and struggled to sit up his upper body so that he could look a little more decent.

However, the rustling footsteps were just passing by.

Conan, whose eyes had long since adapted to the darkness, only saw a black shadow that looked like an old lady running wildly through the secret passage. A terrified and distorted expression could be vaguely seen on her face, as if she was being chased by something terrifying.

Conan: "?"

Why did she run away?

Judging from her expression, it seems like she is being chased by something?

Dr. Agasa is too tall to run very fast, and there is no need for Haibara Ai and the three little ones to scare her.

Could it be that Qin Zhibo is chasing her?

Judging from all aspects of strength, Conan felt that the only person who could force that fake old lady into such a situation could be Qin Zhibo.

Saved!

"I'm here!"

"I'm here!"

"Hey!"

Conan shouted for help as loudly as he could until another set of rustling footsteps was heard.

"save……"

Conan's voice died down as he finally saw what was chasing the fake old lady.

That's a skeleton!

The two hand bones of the skeleton were slightly raised, and it quickly passed in front of Conan with its body leaning forward and its feet floating in the air, chasing in the direction where the fake old lady fled.

Conan stared with wide eyes, watching the skeleton leave his sight, speechless for a long time.

boom!

Long——

That was the sound of the worldview collapsing...

Chapter 273 Historical Reversal

In the secret passage, Qin Zhibo, who was in invisible state, was chasing the fake Mamiya Masudairo with the corpse on his back.

It was necessary to carry the corpse out, because he had to explain the situation to everyone, and the old lady's corpse was indispensable.

As for using the invisibility state to scare and drive away the fake Mamiya Masuyo, that was just a side job.

After all, if he knocked her out in the secret passage, he would have to carry her back to the castle.

If someone from the Mamiya family saw him carrying the unconscious old woman on his back, it would definitely lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhibo decided to carry the corpse on his back, drive the fake Mamiya Masuyo back to the ground himself.

In this way, as long as the people of the Mamiya family saw the old lady who was full of life and was a medical miracle, all the truth would be revealed.

Just now, when passing by a small space next to the secret passage, Qin Zhibo did hear Conan's cry for help.

However, Qin Zhibo, who was wearing the magic ring, could not remove his invisibility in front of Conan.

So Conan can only continue to doubt his own life.

……

At this time, "Mamiya Masuyo" was running for her life in the secret passage.

Because behind her was the old lady's soul-seeking ghost driving her own corpse and rushing towards her.

Driven by the desire to survive, she didn't dare to look back, for fear that if she did, she would meet the eyes of the terrifyingly hollow skull.

Isn't that kind of plot common in horror movies?

If you look back briefly while running away, you will find the monster's head lying on your shoulder.

So at this moment, she chose to run forward without looking back, not giving the "ghost pressing on her shoulder" a chance.

Moreover, "Mamiya Masuyo" was not running around aimlessly in the secret passage at this time.

In her mystical knowledge, ghosts are most afraid of light.

As long as you run to a place with light, you will be safe.

So now the only safe zone where he could be rescued was the castle hall where the lights were always on.

Run!

Hurry up!

In order to escape, the fake Mamiya Masuyo used all his strength and finally ran to a vertical iron ladder, and climbed up quickly and nimbly.

Just climb up and you'll be safe!

The thought echoed in her mind.

Using her hands and feet, she climbed up the iron ladder, raised her hand to lift the floor, and dazzling light flooded into her eyes.

But in her eyes, all this is the light of redemption.

As long as we get here, we'll be safe!

however……

The fake Mamiya Masuyo suddenly felt a gripping sensation on her ankle.

"what!"

With a hoarse roar, the fake Mamiya Masuyo looked down and saw the corpse hanging by the ladder.

The corpse's body wasn't touching the ladder at all, but doesn't it make sense that the ghost would float?

Similarly, isn't it reasonable for a hanging corpse to use its mind power to grab its ankles?

Very reasonable!

"what!"

The fake Mamiya Masuyo screamed again and admitted in panic, "It's all my fault!"

"I shouldn't have coveted the treasure in the castle!"

"I shouldn't have killed you! Please let me go!"

The moment the ghost of the deceased person chased him, the fake Mamiya Masuyo's psychological defenses collapsed instantly.

At the same time, the gate of the castle opened, and the people from the Mamiya family, Professor Agasa, and the Junior Detective League returned.

After searching for Conan outside to no avail, and with it starting to drizzle, everyone had to suspend the search and wait until tomorrow to call the police before conducting a thorough search in the forest.

However, as soon as everyone came in, they saw this extremely exciting scene.

Mamiya Takato: "Grandma? Why are you out?"

Mamiya Mitsuru: "Mother-in-law, why are you stuck in the floor?"

At this time, the fake Mamiya Masuyo looked like a bug stuck in the floor in the eyes of everyone, and "Mamiya Masuyo" seemed to have seen a savior and quickly asked for help.

"help me!"

"Please! Save me!"

Although they were shocked that Mrs. Mamiya, who had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, suddenly regained the ability to walk freely, which was a medical miracle, everyone still rushed forward to pull Mrs. Mamiya out of the secret passage in the floor.

After being pulled up, the survivor "Mamiya Masuyo" was gasping for breath, her eyes wide open in shock.

Ai Haibara curiously stretched her head to look down the tunnel, and with the light from the hall, she saw a corpse under the ladder.

"There seems to be something there..."

Haibara Ai's cold voice alerted everyone, and the other people in the castle quickly stuck their heads in to look inside.

"It looks like... a corpse!"

"what!"

"what!"

The three little ones hugged each other in fear. Takato Mamiya immediately climbed down the ladder and retrieved the corpse lying quietly on the ground and put it back on the floor of the hall.

On the floor of the hall, everyone gathered around the corpse, at a loss for a moment. Only old lady Mamiya stared at the corpse with horror, shrinking back.

"How could there be something like this under the castle?" Mamiya Mitsuru exclaimed in surprise, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

However, Mamiya Takato was relatively calm and squatted beside the corpse to carefully identify it.

In fact, he had stayed in the castle since returning from studying abroad, with the purpose of investigating the truth behind the fire four years ago, because he felt there was something fishy about it.

Looking at the corpse in front of me now, I have a vague feeling that this person is related to me by blood.

But who is it?

At this time, Huiyuan Ai beside her deduced quietly, "Judging from the degree of bone whitening, this person has been dead for some time."

"The leg bones are much thinner than other bones, which suggests this person may have had difficulty moving around."

"Almost all his teeth have fallen out. He must be very old..."

"And judging by the length of her hair, she must be a woman."

"To sum up, this person must have been an elderly lady with limited mobility."

The reasoning of the famous detective Haibara Ai shocked everyone around her.

Not only is this elementary school student not afraid at all when facing corpses, but he can also judge so many things?

What a smart kid!

But isn't it true that old women who are old and have difficulty moving are...

Everyone in the Mamiya family turned their heads to look at Mamiya Masuyo who was lying on the ground, because she was the only old lady in the entire castle.

However, with these people's intelligence, they couldn't immediately associate it with the person who killed the real old lady and replaced her identity.

Just as the atmosphere in the castle hall became weird, a melodious voice sounded from the railing on the second floor.

"The Mamiya Masuyo in front of you now is actually someone else's plastic surgery."

"As for the person who had plastic surgery to look like her, I believe her name is Mutsumi Nishikawa."

Everyone looked up and saw Qin Zhibo.

Next to Qin Zhibo, holding hands was Conan, who looked like a fool.

Chapter 274 The "Treasure" of the Blue Castle

At the bottom of the tunnel entrance, Qin Zhibo found out the true identity of the fake Mamiya Masuyo, and heard everyone in the hall returning, so he put down the corpse and left quietly.
