Da... Da... Da...
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the darkness.
Gan Jiang rushed into the stone chamber and excitedly shone the flashlight around.
Sakaki Makoto and others followed closely behind.
There was a faint smell of burning in the air, and it was difficult to tell the source for a moment.
"Shh...there's the sound of water!"
With his ears pricked up, Conan looked around and his eyes rested on the stone platform in front of him.
On the stone platform, there is a coffin with intricate patterns carved on it, and on both sides of the coffin are clear underground springs.
The sound of water comes from here.
Light...
Of course not.
But on both sides of the stone platform, there are two quaint oil lamps.
Taking out a lighter, Makoto Sakaki stepped forward and lit the wick.
Snap!
Flickering orange-red flames rose up, illuminating the stone chamber.
"hiss...."
Thanks to the generous contribution of the flames, everyone saw the scene clearly.
The light, exposed-edge flying-rib dome looms overhead, giving people a sense of tension and solemnity.
Below is a huge coffin, sitting on top of a stone platform, and behind it are three statues covered with cloaks. Judging from the wings behind the statues...
It should be an angel in Christianity, just like the Virgin Mary who was being worshipped by believers when Makoto Sakaki looked up at the dome in the hall.
The magnificent statue did not attract Sakaki Makoto's attention. He...
Staring at the candlestick with the flickering flame, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Wax will melt when heated, but it takes time.
Why...
A lot of melted wax has accumulated under this candlestick?
Immediately, his pupils shrank, and he turned back suddenly, shining the flashlight...
A dark shadow was rustling and tiptoeing along the path they came from.
When the beam of light shone on him, the black shadow realized that he was exposed, and stopped lowering his steps and began to run wildly.
“Mad!”
Cursing silently, Sakaki Makoto immediately chased after him.
He should have noticed it right away!
It’s all because of that old guy Gan Jiangyi, he covered up the other person’s breathing and footsteps!
This is also why Makoto Sakaki likes to act alone.
Not only will the extra teammates fail to bring him a sense of security, but they will also become a burden to him.
Seeing Sakaki Makoto rushing out, everyone was puzzled, but Shiratori Jinzaburo reacted the fastest, picking up a flashlight and trying to catch up, but...
"You stay!"
Sakaki Makoto shouted without even turning his head:
"I'll go after him!"
Shi Kaobing is in the stone chamber, how can Sakaki Makoto let him act alone?
Among all the people present, the only one who could fight 1v1 with Scoob was Kidd.
If even Kidd leaves, who can control Scoob?
Shiratori Renzaburo stopped, looked at Sakaki Makoto's receding back, gritted his teeth, and turned to look at the coffin.
No one cared about the thief except him, Kogoro Mouri, Conan and Natsumi Kosaka.
Everyone knows that the second memory Easter egg is placed in the coffin.
Gan Jiang and his companions gathered around the coffin, discussing how to open the lock on it...
With their skills, even without the key, it would only be a matter of time to pry open the lock.
but...
"Please make way."
Shiratori Renzaburo squeezed in between them:
"The person lying in the coffin should be Miss Xia Mei's relative. As a police officer, I have the obligation to guard the coffin for her."
"Without Miss Xia Mei's permission, no one is allowed to destroy the coffin!"
How long can time be delayed?
Kidd didn't know, but he understood...
Every second you can delay is a second.
If the second memory Easter egg is really in the coffin, Shi Kaobing will definitely try to snatch it.
Pu Siqinglan frowned and said nothing.
On the contrary, Gan Jiang was not happy:
"Hey, Inspector Shiratori, in your eyes, are we just tomb robbers?"
"For the sake of the second memory Easter egg, Miss Xia Mei will definitely agree to let us open the coffin!"
"Otherwise, we would be so bored that we would come all the way here to see the scenery?"
"Who forced you to come?"
Maori Kogoro walked up to him and looked at him coldly:
"You were so shameless that you had to follow me, and now you are talking about your hard work and contribution?"
"Even if the coffin contains memories, does it have anything to do with you?"
Kogoro Mori, who always has a very high emotional intelligence, usually would not say such offensive words.
But Gan Jiang's attempt to pry open the coffin had already touched his bottom line.
"you!"
Gan Jiang's face turned red when he was told this and he was about to get angry.
"Alright alright..."
First Class Clerk Siruof quickly came out to smooth things over:
"This is Miss Xia Mei's castle. We are not qualified to make decisions for her."
"If Miss Xia Mei doesn't agree to open the coffin, this matter will end here."
Seeing that Pu Siqinglan didn't say anything, Gan Jiangyi didn't dare to offend the crowd. He turned his head and sat down on the raised edge of the stone platform, thinking about how to get the second memory easter egg.
Natsumi Kosaka looked at the copper lock on the coffin thoughtfully. She picked up her bag and began to search.
Just when her eyes lit up and she wanted to take something out...
Shiratori Renzaburo walked up to her and whispered a few words in her ear.
Her body shook slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, Natsumi Kosaka put her bag down.
Bang!
At this moment, a gunshot was heard in the corridor, and everyone looked over...
In the darkness, smoke was still coming out of the muzzle of the gun. Makoto Sakaki stared coldly at the black shadow falling to the ground in front of him and slowly walked forward.
