When I got outside, the fake old lady looked at her watch and returned to her wheelchair.

She went out to inquire about the situation and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Jiang Xia was still missing.

——Since Jiang Xia has not brought out the news that "the real lady is dead" from the secret passage. For her, everything is still saved.

However, from the location where Jiang Xia entered the secret passage and the location of the Madam's body, Nishikawa Yumi thought that Jiang Xia must have found the body. Maybe this cunning young detective wanted to hide in the tunnel and wait for the phone to be repaired before coming out to call the police directly.

Nishikawa Yumi: "..." You can't keep following the other party's rhythm.

I have to think of a way to find Jiang Xia to silence him.

...

At this time, several other guests happened to pass by the other end of the corridor.

Nishikawa Yumi looked at them and suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

It’s better to tie a hostage yourself, take the hostage into the secret passage, and force Jiang Xia out - the high school detective must be very upright, and his partner’s life is threatened, and he will not refuse to save him.

After Nishikawa Yumi took the idea, she picked out among the remaining four guests. Without hesitation, she set her goal on Conan.

——Children are simple and easy to cheat, and after they get it, they are easy to carry. But if it is the other three people, it would be too physically exhausting to drag them around in the secret passage to look for Jiang Xia.

I have to find an opportunity to lure the child out alone...

Thinking of this, Nishikawa Yumi took a piece of clothing and re-entered the secret passage.

...

A group of people searched all over the castle, but there was no trace of Jiang Xia at all.

Conan was worried about the "treasure" puzzle in the courtyard, and wanted to think about where Jiang Xia was, and he was overloaded.

He paced around the corridor, trying to dissipate heat to himself.

Halfway through Conan's ears, he suddenly heard a sound.

He followed the sound and looked towards the corner of the corridor.

I saw a black coat on the ground there.

Conan's pupils shrank... He didn't think of the group of members of the black organization, but about Jiang Xia.

——Jiang Xia often wears black from head to toe, and even likes to choose black for things like scarves, masks, pencil cases.

And at the moment when Jiang Xia disappeared, a coat of the same color suddenly fell off nearby... Could this be Jiang Xia's clothes?

Conan was puzzled for a moment, walked over quickly, picked up his coat to check.

...

Behind Conan, in the gap in the secret passage on the wall.

A pair of eyes stared at this scene quietly.

Nishikawa Yumi was sticking at the door of the secret passage. When she saw the child approaching, she sneered and took out her wooden stick, preparing to knock Conan out with a stick and drag it into the secret passage.

However, just the moment she was about to push open the secret door.

Another footstep suddenly approached.

Toru Amuro approached and looked at the thing in Conan's hand: "Is this..."

"A piece of clothing." Conan shook the clothes and looked at them, frowned slightly, "I originally thought it was Brother Jiang Xia's coat, but now it seems that it is just the same color."

So...why is a piece of clothing falling out here?

Amuro obviously thought of this problem.

He raised his head thoughtfully and looked at the surrounding scenery.

...

Behind the wall, Nishikawa Yumi gradually felt a cold sweat.

——On weekdays, she often wanders around the secret passages, looking for treasures. Therefore, there are some open traces left at each secret passage.

Nishikawa Yumi remembers that Amuro, separated by a wall, seemed to be a detective. If he had carefully observed, he found the entrance to the secret passage...

Nishikawa Yumi: "..." No, the body of the lady in the secret passage must not be discovered by more people!

Instead of waiting for Amuro Toru to find the secret passage, it is better to take action... Nishikawa's mind is full of evil thoughts of "silence".

Seeing that Amuro Toru was looking at the wall opposite, facing away from this side.

Nishikawa Yumi gritted her teeth, pushed open the secret door hard, and knocked heavily on the back of his head.

Conan was shocked and was about to shout "Be careful!".

But Amuro Toru seemed to notice something, suddenly raised his hand back and accurately intercepted the fake old lady's wrist holding a wooden stick.

He originally wanted to push his way, but when he saw the person who was attacking clearly, Amuro paused.

——A old lady at this age always feels that if she hits her, she might be able to send her to cremation directly... But then again, the "old lady"'s wrist is not very old when she grasps her wrist.

Toru Amuro seized Nishikawa's stick and threw it aside, grabbed the person, and asked in confusion: "Why attack me? What's your purpose? Who sent you here or your own idea?"

...

He asked while looking at the strange old lady.

Although the other party looked weak, it was actually even weaker... However, after coming to the castle, this was the first person to show obvious hostility towards him.

Just as he was thinking, the old lady under him suddenly struggled and shouted: "Let me go! Otherwise, you don't think about seeing that high school detective again!"

"..." Amuro Toru reacted for a while and hesitated, "You want to say that it was you who caught Jiang Xia?"

"Of course." The old woman sneered, gritting the bullet and continuing to throw harsh words, "Let go, otherwise I promise he won't survive today!"

...Nikawa Yumi thought to herself, Jiang Xia was missing anyway. It would be better to use this first and pretend that she is a hostage.

In this way, as long as Amuro Toru hesitates a little, she can take the opportunity to break free and rush into the secret passage to escape.

Nishikawa Kami is planning his future prospects.

After a second or two, I realized that Amuro Tsuki was holding her hand, not relaxing at all, and the "hostage" seemed to have not played the threatening role it should have.

Nishikawa Yumi raised her head in confusion and saw Conan and Amuro looking at her silently, and their expressions were subtly synchronized.

That is a very complex line of vision. If you have to visualize it, it can probably be translated as:...just you?
