This kid is too reckless...

After realizing that several people were about to come in, Kuroba Kaito hid in the shadow of the room and saw this, and reluctantly took out his chain gun.

At this distance, if he wanted to save people, he would have to show up. Well...at worst, he could borrow the identity of high school detective Kudo Shinichi.

Thoughts and actions are synchronized.

However, before he could pull the trigger, he heard the movement outside the house, and the man with short hair, brown eyes, and a strong physique who was also hiding in the shadows beside the stairs took the first step and grabbed Genta's back.

"?!"

Conan and others were shocked.

"What's wrong, kid?"

The man turned his head and said, "You are also here to find the treasure left by Kichiemon Sansui?"

"Ah, no..." Conan quickly adjusted his expression, showing that he was worried about his friends and frightened by the unexpected incident, and he hesitated to say a complete sentence.

At this time, it is inconsistent with common sense to show vigilance or calmness.

After all, he first wanted to find out whether this person had pure good intentions in rescuing Yuanta, or was he worried that they had seen the body outside and wanted to kill all the witnesses?

"Be careful, this staircase is a trap. If you want to go upstairs, you need to step on the inner steps. The character of the mechanism master is very weird. If you believe everything you see, your end will be quite miserable.

oh……"

After the man explained, he asked: "By the way, have you found any strange stones?"

"No, we didn't find anything." Conan said innocently before the three children could speak, "Brother, thank you for saving Yuanta!"

"Oh, you're welcome..."

When the man heard this, his tone suddenly became a little colder. He looked up at the stairs, then walked around the big column in the room towards the other side, "If you want to go upstairs, come with me."

Well, I found a more convenient way than taking that route."

"Conan...what should we do?"

Yuantai was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and at this time he did not dare to make any further decisions.

"Follow us and take a look." Conan said.

"Why did you lie just now?" Ayumi looked at the man's back and asked in a low voice, "He saved Genta and specifically reminded us that there is a mechanism in the room. He doesn't look like a bad guy..."

I also told you about the agency, but it was not taken seriously...

Conan has half-moon eyes and a curse in his heart.

However, he also knew that mentioning this matter now would definitely cause internal conflicts, so he simply stopped mentioning it.

"Saving people doesn't necessarily mean you are a good person," Haibara Ai explained in a low voice, "He may have some purpose to let us stay here. You have also seen that when Edogawa said that no stones were found,

After that, his attitude immediately changed..."

"Yes, if he is the murderer who killed the person just now, the situation will be even worse. With the physical fitness he showed, the more panic we show, the more dangerous it may be," Conan said with a serious face, "In short, it is better for everyone to stay here first

, it seems that he seems to be quite familiar with devices such as mechanisms, it should be safer to follow him for the time being, and also make sure that he will not run away before the doctor comes with the police..."

Hey, Kudo Shinichi doesn’t think this treasure hunter is me, right?

Although the content contained in the words does not regard me as a murderer, but you should not see a person who is knowledgeable about agencies and assume that he is Kaitou Kidd.

In the shadows, Kuroba Kaito silently held his forehead.

Several people walked around the pillar and came to a mechanical door.

The man opened it very skillfully.

No wonder this person disappeared after entering the room. I thought he went to the second floor. It turns out there is a mechanism here. It’s all my fault that I used the nanorobot to find the main road directly, so I didn’t even check it carefully...

…

After Kuroba Kaito muttered something silently, he quietly followed a few little figures who seemed to be on a tour.

"Yeah, there are a lot of carp here." Bumi jumped to a pool.

"Huh? Just like the fish in the pond outside, they should be connected together, right?" Mitsuhiko said.

"Look, there's a bridge here!"

Yuan was so good that his scar forgot about the pain, and he ran to the front excitedly, "Look, I found the trap, I won't be fooled this time!"

"No, this is actually not a trap..."

The man walked to the seemingly cracked floor and stepped down with all his strength. He heard the clanging sound of a series of chains. After a while, the ceiling opened, and a ladder the size of an ordinary door panel hung from above.

Come down.

"It's so cool!" Yuantai couldn't help but reached out and touched it.

"It's like an elevator!" Mitsuhiko also leaned over to watch.

It was obviously a mechanism built during the late Tokugawa period, but the chain seemed to have no traces of rust. Is it because the oil flowing in the secret groove blocked the oxidation reaction...

Conan thought and rode up with a few others.

…

Outside, in the light rain.

Ye Gengyi was walking through the forest like a ghost.

Obviously, whether it was those treasure hunters or Dr. Agasa and the others, they were able to find Sansui Kichiemon's trap room by such a coincidence. Apart from luck, which cannot be explained in detail, the rest must have been their choice.

The road up the mountain is closer to here.

So... even if a trap is laid or there are other accomplices, it is impossible to choose another way.

The current traffic flow along the way, coupled with the weather conditions, has basically ruled out the possibility of the two treasure hunters, and has also arranged for accomplices to lurk in the mountains and forests, waiting for opportunities.

After Ye Gengyi made his judgment based on the existing clues, he used the makeover card to transform himself into a young man with a round-framed mirror and a gentle appearance, and returned to the wooden house again.

He squatted down and touched the body of the deceased with his left hand. As expected, the mark was not triggered.

"Where is it? Is it convenient to talk?" Ye Gengyi turned on the wireless earphones.

"Brother, you didn't know to tell me in advance that you were in disguise. I just thought another treasure hunter came." The door of the wooden house slightly opened a gap, revealing a face full of age spots, looking like he was sixty or seventy years old.

woman face.

"You were able to come out...did they find the secret room?" Ye Gengyi guessed.

"Not yet," Kuroba Kaito simply told what had just happened, and finally said with emotion: "That little detective is also brave enough. He knew that there might be a murderer inside, but he dared to bring a few...

Children take risks... I was still hesitating whether to follow or not before, but then you came, brother."

"In this way..." Ye Gengyi thought for a moment and said: "You first go to the underground secret passage and stick two Kid Cards to create the illusion that the gems have been stolen. I will go up to watch them."
