Conan Rick's Investigator

Little did she know that some "uninvited guests" were lurking in the space behind her.
Chapter 590: The Underground Space of the Dusk Villa
On the surveillance screen, the people in the villa were divided into two groups, searching for the murderer room by room.
Old Lady Qianjian was very satisfied with this, and everything was going according to her plan.
As soon as the detectives discovered that there was no one else in the annex, they would realize that the murderer was among them.
And they would not suspect themselves, a dead person.
Gradually, the detectives will become suspicious of each other and start killing each other.
But it is a pity that if that were the case, none of these detectives would be able to solve the mystery left by their father.
Old lady Qianjian felt somewhat conflicted. She held this banquet in order to solve the mystery of her father. If in the end it was just a simple killing, then the banquet itself would lose its meaning.
"Eh--"
Old Mrs. Qianjian sighed and pulled her chair closer to the monitor so as not to miss any details of these detectives.
After all, the people he invited were all famous detectives. Even if he was the mastermind behind the scenes, he had to be 120% cautious.
While Old Lady Qianjian was staring at the screen, several figures quietly stood up from the corner behind the secret monitoring room.
Several figures quietly approached from behind, extending their evil hands towards the sixty-year-old woman...
Suddenly, old lady Qianjian felt a pair of palms pressing down hard on her shoulders, which frightened her body so much that her heart almost jumped out.
"what!"
The old lady was so frightened that she screamed, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Haruhi Mogi standing behind her.
Not only that, Qin Zhibo and Bai Ma Tan were also standing behind.
At this time, the mechanism door on the ground opened, and Gunda Ikumi, "Mouri Kogoro", and Conan also walked up.
"This this……"
"You are!"
Old lady Qianjian widened her eyes and looked at the people behind her in disbelief. They all arrived in the blink of an eye.
But when I turned around and looked at the surveillance screen, I saw that the famous detectives were still searching the room for the murderer.
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and explained, "Actually, I discovered this secret monitoring room when I first arrived at this annex."
"The images on the surveillance screen have actually been adjusted by us. What you see is what happened 10 minutes ago."
Old lady Qianjian looked incredulous. How could the secret surveillance room that she had hired craftsmen to carefully decorate be discovered by a newcomer?
This is different from what we agreed!
This unscientific!
In a hurry, Old Lady Qianjian thought for a moment and came up with another excuse.
"Actually, I'm just like you. I also discovered this place a long time ago..."
"I escaped from the explosion in the car just to see who would come back here..."
Old Lady Qianjian's words became weaker and weaker, as if she herself had noticed the illogicality in her words.
Bai Ma Tan stepped forward and reasoned, "Actually, your biggest flaw was that when everyone was discussing the coin toss, you deliberately took the ten-yuan coin that was the farthest away, right?"
"Because everyone's fingers are stained with potassium cyanate, if they touch the ten-yuan copper coin, an oxidation-reduction reaction will occur, and the method you used to kill Detective Daigami will be exposed..."
"Actually, you coated all the teacups with potassium cyanate. Anyone who bites their finger will die. Detective Daigami just happened to be the victim..."
Conan stood aside and stuck his head out, adding in a childlike tone: "Old woman, can you give me back that ten-yuan copper coin?"
As Conan spoke, he glanced at Qin Zhibo next to him, and the gesture was very obvious.
However, Qin Zhibo didn't respond at all, and shifted his gaze to the ventilation duct behind him in an extremely unnatural way.
Conan: "..."
Why are you looking elsewhere?
I'm talking about you!
There are many famous detectives at the scene, so you don’t have to do the reasoning yourself. The method this time is not difficult, and everyone who understands it will understand it.
In addition, the system's side quest has been completed, so Qin Zhibo no longer needs to focus on getting Old Lady Qianjian to confess.
Now, he is more concerned about the "weirdness" in this villa.
What are the "Karena big eyes" in the ventilation duct?
At this time, Qin Zhibo saw a building blueprint placed on the desk in the secret monitoring room. This was the blueprint of the Dusk Villa.
While the detectives were reasoning in full swing, Qin Zhibo took the blueprint, returned to the corridor on the fourth floor, and checked it with the help of the light.
"Kissland Big Eyes" mainly appears in places with ventilation ducts, whether it is a piano room or a secret monitoring room, there are ventilation ducts.
So, just find the source of the pipeline...
Qin Zhibo searched carefully on the unfolded blueprint and finally found some clues.
The ventilation ducts of the Dusk Villa were actually built underground. They were well-developed like a spider web, and the core was right in the center of the Dusk Villa.
Qin Zhibo ran to the first floor with the architectural blueprint and came to the courtyard in the center of the villa.
This place is surrounded by villas on all sides, with only a square piece of night sky visible above, and the atmosphere is somewhat depressing.
In the center of the courtyard is a fountain, but it has long dried up.
At the base of the low wall that formed the pond, Qin Zhibo saw an investigation point.
【Topographic Survey√】
【Organization, surprise inside】
This was a slightly raised stone brick. Qin Zhibo kicked it and a rumbling mechanical sound came from inside.
The ground trembled slightly, and the bottom of the circular pool split into three, making way for the steps below.
The deep stone steps led to the dark underground world. The sinister and hateful aura accompanied by a gloomy wind made Qin Zhibo hesitate whether to continue exploring.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhibo, who is much braver than ordinary people, decided to go deeper.
When he stepped onto the stone steps and his body was in the darkness, Qin Zhibo could feel the gloom and dampness here, with bumpy gray walls on both sides.
When the nuclear lighter was turned on, there was more light around, but the range it could illuminate was very limited, and it was basically completely invisible five meters away.
Helplessly, Qin Zhibo turned on the night vision goggles again and was finally able to see a little farther.
After walking down about 50 steps, I came to a solid platform.
On this platform, there are nearly a hundred dead skeletons, some of which are animals, but more are humans.
There are honeycomb-shaped holes in the surrounding walls, which seem to be connected to the well-developed ventilation ducts on the upper floor.
In the center of this square filled with darkness and killing, there is a huge statue about 6 meters high.
It is basically composed of a double-valved shell, like a giant clam, with many pairs of thin legs supporting the body from below.
Several segmented, cylindrical pseudopodia emanated from the half-open shell, and a mouthless face with sunken eye sockets peered out from within.
Looking at the statue, for a moment, Qin Zhibo felt that he was staring into an endless abyss.
It feels like my consciousness is being sucked in!
Qin Zhibo: Will -20
Chapter 591 The Happy Chikan Family
In the dining room, Mrs. Qianjian confessed her motives to the detectives.
"My father was an archaeologist named Sengen Kyousuke..."
"Forty years ago, my father was invited to this annex by the wealthy tycoon, Karasuma Renya, who was over a hundred years old.
Because he found clues that there was a huge treasure in the villa left to him by his mother, he wanted to invite talented people from all walks of life to find the treasure for him before he died.
The pay for this job was very attractive, and my father would enclose a check in his daily letters. My mother and I were very happy.
Who would have thought that half a year later, we would suddenly stop receiving letters and money, and my father, who had not told us where he was going, lost contact with us.
The truth of the whole matter was actually in the last letter my father sent me. I discovered it when I held the letter up to the light.
The letter was full of holes, and there was no doubt that my father had pricked the words with a needle.
The letter stated the treasure hunt code I told you, as well as the fact that in addition to my father, many other scholars were invited.
The letter also stated that because Uramaru Renya was nearing death and the scholars had not yet found the treasure for him, he lost his patience and killed them one by one in this villa.
But even if they find the treasure, they will still die..."
Everyone was silent, and only "Mouri Kogoro" took the initiative to ask: "Did you call the police at that time?"
Old Lady Qianjian shook her head and said regretfully, "It was already 20 years later when I discovered the pinhole in the letter. By then, Karasuma Renya had already died, and this villa had passed through many hands..."
"But when I accidentally talked about this with Da Shang two years ago, he took the initiative to propose a plan to me, and he quickly found the location of the annex and started the treasure hunt with a very positive attitude.
But the code was never solved in the end. However, he had already borrowed a large sum of money from outside to buy the villa.
When we were still at a loss, one day he suddenly suggested to me to follow the example of Karasuma Renya and find a famous detective to decipher the code, use the name of Kaito Kid to lure the detective into the trap, and use a life-threatening thrilling game to stimulate the detective's hidden true ability.
After everything is over, the entire crime can be pinned on Kaito Kidd..."
Hearing this, "Mouri Kogoro" shook his body and his eyes moved slightly.
Do you treat me like my underpants and push all the dirty things onto me?
"Over the years, I've been very curious about the secrets hidden in this mansion where my father died, so I agreed to Ogami's plan. He personally took care of everything, from selecting the maids to the beginning. He was even very happy that he found a way to silence the maids through his habit of biting his fingers...
But I know that once he finds the treasure, he will kill everyone, including me.
So I added a section of the tape that had not been discussed in advance, that is, the story, to arouse Da Shang's suspicion and kill him in the way he had devised."
After Mrs. Qianjian finished her story, everyone was silent for a long time.
The origins of this "Thriller Game" can be traced back to almost half a century ago, when it was born out of the ambition of an evil tycoon.
The rolling wheel of history is like the reincarnation of fate. Past sins breed new sins, which are staged in this place.
It seems that this place is indeed cursed.
At this moment, the White Horse scout stepped forward and asked, "Then why did you kill my eagle? Are you planning to kill animals too?"
Old lady Qianjian was stunned for a moment because this was a plot she had never experienced before.
"This... How can I possibly kill a fierce bird flying in the sky with my body like this..."
"However, there are quite a few crows in the forest surrounding this villa. It is said that the wealthy Karasuma Renya once raised them here. He loved crows very much..."
Ravens vs. Eagles?
Baima Tanlue thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.
Old Lady Qianjian, hands behind her back, slowly walked to the window and sighed, "It's a pity that this plan has come to nothing. No one can still decipher the code..."
"I'm afraid this secret will remain buried in this annex forever..."
Just as old lady Qianjian was sighing like this, Kidd had a complicated look in his eyes, not knowing whether he should tell his discovery to fulfill the old woman's lifelong wish.
Conan glanced sideways and accidentally noticed a clock hanging on the fireplace in the restaurant.
After his previous exploration in the annex, Conan knew that this was the only clock in the entire annex.
Is it...
Conan ran quickly to the fireplace, jumped onto a chair, and stared at the clock.
After noticing Conan's actions, the other detectives also turned their gazes to the clock with thoughtful expressions.
Two travelers in a hurry, looking up at the sky that night...
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through the brains of all detectives and thieves, and they instantly had a brain orgasm.
