"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and check it out first."
Sakaki Makoto carried the MK23 and walked towards Channel 2.
This is not him being heroic, but a conclusion he came to after careful consideration.
Among all the people present, he is the one with the best ability to respond to emergencies. If Channel 2 is also a trap, he has the highest chance of survival.
"I'll go with you."
Kid took the initiative to step forward and stopped Conan and Miss Miyano who wanted to speak, his voice calm.
When it comes to major issues, he still knows his limits. Small fights on weekdays are harmless, but now that he is really in danger, he will take on the responsibility.
Glancing at him, Sakaki Makoto slowly shook his head:
"No, you stay. It will be more convenient for me to move alone."
This was not just a polite remark. If bringing Kid along could help, Sakaki Makoto would definitely not be polite to him. But the reality was that no one knew what the mechanism was. If they guessed wrong, the trap set by Karasuma Renya was definitely insidious and vicious.
The passage was narrow, and Makoto Sakaki could advance or retreat alone. But if there was one more person, the retreat would not be so easy.
After saying that, Sakaki Makoto turned around and went into Passage 2, and soon his back disappeared into the darkness.
An unpleasant smell floated in the dark tunnel, bitter and cold, a bit like boiled Chinese medicine, but slightly lighter than that of Chinese medicine.
Sakaki Makoto carefully tested the stone bricks under his feet and never touched the walls around him. With every step he took, he pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds coming from all around him, for fear of triggering the mechanism.
He walked for dozens of meters without encountering any danger, and his heart gradually settled down.
If there was a mechanism, it should have been triggered long ago. It seems that Akai Mary's inference was correct. Channel 7 was a trap, and Channel 2 was the correct one.
As he walked, Sakaki Makoto felt amused for no reason. He remembered what Akai Mari said, that the two crows perched on Odin's shoulders, one represents thinking, and the other represents memory. Karasuma Renya used them as his own symbol, revealing a feeling that he was the wise man standing on the shoulders of God. This idea...
It exists only in the minds of madmen or naughty children.
But on second thought, after years of hard work, Karasuma Renya did build an underground empire, so it is understandable that Hongshu would compare him to Professor Moriarty.
The scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and before he knew it, Sakaki Makoto had left the passage and arrived at a stone chamber.
After adjusting the flashlight to diffuse light, Sakaki Makoto was able to see his surroundings clearly.
This seemed to be a laboratory. There were lab tables stacked on the bluestone floor. On the lab tables were instruments such as measuring cups and test tubes. Along one wall, there were rows of iron cages with several mummified animals lying inside. Their faces were hideous, and it looked as if they had gone through some painful torture before death.
And behind the laboratory, there is another room.
After a slight hesitation, Sakaki Makoto turned around and retreated back to the passage, calling in Miss Miyano and the others who were waiting outside.
Now that the laboratory left by Karasuma Renya has been discovered, it means that Channel 2 is indeed safe.
After Miss Miyano and her companions arrived at the laboratory, they could not help but marvel at it. The laboratory was completely different from the narrow passage outside. It was tall and wide, and looked like a palace. There were countless glass rooms in the middle, and even several large instruments that they could not name.
I pressed the switch on the wall, but the light didn't come on. There had been no power here for years and the generator was broken.
"This should be the laboratory where Karasuma Renye studied drugs..."
Looking at the experimental equipment around her, Miss Miyano said:
"It seems that the APTX plan was implemented more than a hundred years ago. Karasuma Renya built such a laboratory underground just to hide his tracks..."
The emergence of APTX4869 is also due to the research results of the Miyano couple. Fundamentally speaking, it has little to do with Karasuma Renya. The Miyano couple contributed the most. If it weren't for them, Karasuma Renya would probably not have seen any hope of success until now.
This further illustrates the importance of talent. Even though Karasuma Renya had long had the idea of researching drugs that could resurrect the dead, without talented researchers, his idea would ultimately be nothing more than a mirage, something that would never materialize.
"There is another room inside, go there and take a look."
Makoto Sakaki had seen too many laboratories, and to be honest, he was not interested, because he knew very well that even if he turned this laboratory upside down, he would not find any useful clues. After all, APTX4869 was a drug that only appeared decades later, and the research director was standing next to him.
After passing through the laboratory, everyone arrived at the room behind the glass house and was blocked by an iron door.
The iron door did not use any high-tech electronic equipment, and the lock on the door fell to the side, covered in dust.
Sakaki Makoto raised his hand and pushed gently, and the iron door opened.
Right at the door, Sakaki Makoto found a few drops of blood. It was not difficult to guess that Ogawa Kusaki was shot here.
The other party followed him all the way to the laboratory and suddenly attacked him when he was not prepared. Unfortunately, he failed to kill him with one shot, otherwise Sakaki Makoto and others would not have discovered this place.
This room is a database, but it seems a bit deserted and the shelves are empty. It is obvious that Karasuma Renya took away most of the information when he abandoned this place.
but....
Ogawa Kusukei went through so much trouble to come back here, he must be looking for something.
"There is a safe here, but it's empty..."
The sharp-eyed Conan immediately noticed the safe embedded in the wall, but when he ran over, he found that the safe door was ajar, and there was nothing inside. The things had been taken away long ago.
Who did it?
It definitely wasn't Ogawa Kusai. Sakaki Makoto didn't find any information on his bones, so it was possible that the criminal who killed Ogawa Kusai took away the things stored in the safe.
After finding this place, the clues seemed to be broken again, but Sakaki Makoto and Domon Yasuki's expressions became much more serious. They suddenly realized that the key to breaking the deadlock might lie in the criminal who killed Ogawa Kusuke!
And this prisoner...
Currently hiding in the Ogawa family!
As long as we can catch the criminal, won’t we find clues about Karasuma Renya?
Immediately making a decision, Makoto Sakaki informed Miss Miyano and others of his idea, left the laboratory, returned along the original route, and rushed to the Ogawa family without stopping.
When we returned to the ground, it was already 5 o'clock in the evening. The dim sunlight poured down on the poplar trees, giving them a layer of golden glow. The campus was bustling with activity as the club activities were coming to an end.
"The old principal said that Ogawa Kusanagi's grandson is currently receiving treatment at Gunma University Medical School Hospital, located at 39-15 San-chome, Showa-cho."
Domon Yasuki got in the car and said:
"We must get there as soon as possible, otherwise the criminal might carry out a second assassination!"
