Sakaki Makoto and others decided to enter the cave and find out what was going on.
Only in this way can we find out where Ogawa Kusuke went and what he did before his death.
Holding the flashlight, Makoto Sakaki entered the cave first, followed closely by Miss Miyano and others.
The tunnel behind the cave entrance is about the same width as the wellhead, barely enough for one person to pass through. However, it is surrounded by cement and steel bars, making it extremely strong. Even after nearly a hundred years, there has been no landslide or water seepage.
Rather than a tunnel, this place is more like a corridor in a mausoleum, but no one knows where the road under your feet leads to.
There was endless darkness ahead, and the tunnel was surprisingly quiet, with only the footsteps of Sakaki Makoto and others echoing.
As they walked, Kidd, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was too depressing, could not help but say:
"Why does this boss have a special liking for underground facilities? The same thing happened with the Twilight Annex last time. Which normal person would build a fortress under his own house? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to sleep at night?"
"The world situation at the time was urgent, so many countries built facilities such as air-raid shelters underground to avoid bombing by enemy planes."
Sakaki Makoto said without turning his head:
"Besides, it is obviously safer underground than on the ground. If we hadn't crawled into the deep well, how would we have known there was such a secret tunnel under our feet?"
"That being said..."
Kidd scratched his head:
"Building tunnels and fortresses underground is a huge undertaking. How much manpower and resources did Karasuma Renya use to build the Dusk Villa? Even if you have a lot of money, you can't squander it like this!"
"Instead of wasting money, you should think about where the workers who built the Dusk Villa ended up."
Sakaki Makoto's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter:
"According to convention, if Karasuma Renya doesn't want the secret to be leaked, he must shut these people up..."
"Hey, hey, hey...it can't be that exaggerated!"
Kidd's eyes widened, his hair stood on end, and he shuddered:
"He killed all those workers?!"
"Mr. Sakaki, please stop scaring him."
Domon Yasuki grinned and said:
"The people who built a huge project like the Dusk Villa must not be ordinary engineering teams. They are most likely soldiers. No matter how crazy and powerful Karasuma Renya is, he can't let an army disappear without arousing suspicion."
"call...."
Kidd breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, feeling relieved:
“That’s what I said…”
"So in order to silence the witnesses, Karasuma Renya may have sent the troops to the front after the project was completed and let them die for the country, so that he could conceal the truth."
“........”
It’s still the same thing after all!
In any case, the workers who built the Dusk Villa and this underground tunnel had to keep their mouths shut.
For the sake of his own grand plan, Karasuma Renya will not show mercy.
but....
Sakaki Makoto suddenly thought, since Karasuma Renya has a special liking for underground buildings, does this mean that his hiding place is also underground?
Miss Miyano once went to Karasuma Renya's headquarters. She also said that Karasuma Renya's residence was dark and surrounded by steel bars. So, Karasuma Renya might really be hiding somewhere underground.
After walking forward for a while, the tunnel seemed endless. Sakaki Makoto and his friends' legs were sore, but they still couldn't see the end.
"How long did Karasuma Renya build this road?"
Hongshu complained:
"Did he build a railway underground?!"
At this moment, an hour and a half had passed since Makoto Sakaki and others entered the deep well. According to Makoto Sakaki's speed, they should have walked two or three kilometers by now.
The tunnel is like a giant's intestine, twisting and turning. The key problem is that there is not even a sign, and it looks the same everywhere!
What did Karasuma Renya want to do by building such an underground tunnel?
Sakaki Makoto didn't know, but he knew that this tunnel must not be often used and very few people knew about it. Otherwise, given the length of the tunnel, most people would be exhausted to death before they even reach the end.
"Since we came in, this tunnel has been extending northwards. After walking for more than an hour, we have now left Maebashi City. Judging from the location of Gunma University..."
Conan looked at the map on his phone and said seriously:
"We are only a few hundred meters away from Fujimi Village."
"Fujimi Village?!"
Everyone stopped suddenly, and a thought came to their minds:
"Could it be that the end point of this tunnel is the villa behind the mountain?"
If so, what did Karasuma Renya want to do by connecting the deep well and the villa with a tunnel?
He must be crazy!
"No matter what, we have to keep moving forward. The answer is just ahead of the tunnel."
Sakaki Makoto looked back and saw that everyone was already exhausted, especially Hongshu, who was physically weaker and could no longer walk. He only managed to hold on until now with the support of Hattori. It was unknown how long they would have to walk if they continued to move forward. It would be a problem if he collapsed from exhaustion halfway.
or...
Act separately?
But before Sakaki Makoto could tell them his plan, Conan and his friends saw through his thoughts and rejected him immediately.
The reason is very simple. Karasuma Renya's secret is already within reach. If we work harder, we will see the light. Who would be willing to give up at this critical juncture?
Finally, everyone discussed and decided to carry Hongshu and continue on their journey. When they got tired, they would take over. After all, they had come this far and it didn't matter if they spent a little more time on it.
After walking a few hundred meters, a fork in the road suddenly appeared ahead.
In the dark tunnel, a T-shaped intersection appeared in front of everyone. Sakaki Makoto and others standing at the intersection were in trouble for a moment.
The tunnels on the left and right look exactly the same and there seems to be no difference between them, but everyone knows that the ends of the two roads are completely different.
Ogawa Kusukei knows the terrain here clearly, but Sakaki Makoto and others don’t!
"What should I do, left or right?"
Domon Yasuki asked:
"This is probably the first obstacle that Karasuma Renya left for the invaders."
"To the right!"
Conan held the compass and said:
"The road on the left is towards Fujimi Village. The end point is probably the villa. That's not where we want to go!"
"Then go right."
Sakaki Makoto pulled out his MK23, loaded the bullet, and motioned for everyone to follow.
Everyone filed into the right passage and walked a hundred meters, and there was another fork in the road in front of them!
1, 2, 3....
4 forks in the road!
There are more choices this time, and Karasuma Renya left a big gift for the invaders!
“This is really troublesome…”
Looking at the four identical forks in the road, Akai Mary broke into a cold sweat:
"At this point, the compass is no longer useful. What to do next depends entirely on our own judgment."
There must be only one safe passage. Facing the invaders, Sakaki Makoto doesn't believe that Karasuma Renya will be kind enough to let them go. The passages other than the correct answer must be extremely dangerous!
