Chapter 1390 1398 [Night Fishing Plan]
Conan, with some suspicion about Anonymous and concern for his classmates, quickly ran to the entrance of the passage.
Then he was slightly startled: the entrance had been firmly shut. The baffle above his head was smooth and tightly fitted, without any handles or anything like that.
Conan's heart skipped a beat, but he soon calmed down again: "..." Forget about the fork in the road just now, it is impossible that even this main road cannot be opened from the inside, unless the owner of the house is a pervert who wants to express to future generations that "since you're here, you'll stay with your great-grandmother forever."
His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and soon landed on one of the bricks - only this brick was different in size from the others.
Conan raised his hand and pushed down tentatively.
The stone suddenly sank, and then, with a loud bang, the secret passage above slowly slid open.
A smell of diesel mixed with burnt fire hit me in the face.
Conan was startled and ran out quickly. He quickly passed the messy hall and came to the door, and saw that there was one less car parked outside, and Jiang Xia and Pu Siqinglan were gone.
Various clues were pieced together in his mind, and Conan gradually restored the scene he imagined a few minutes ago.
It is still unknown whether the collapse of the ceiling was caused by natural causes or by someone's manipulation, but one thing is certain - if Jiang Xia caught Shi Kaobing, he would at most drag him to a secluded place and beat him a few times, and would never drive him away. The driver must be Shi Kaobing!
Conan: "..." Damn it! He was actually defeated by the Scoobians. The gunman was really unfair, just like the two guys who hit him with clubs in the amusement park. Although Gin didn't use a gun when he dealt with Kudo Shinichi... But this is not the point. Now is not the time to think about these things. We have to find Jiang Xia quickly. In addition, we can't ignore the people underground.
While Conan was dialing the police number, he turned his head and looked at the castle.
The roads above and below the ground gradually took shape in his mind and overlapped. He thought for a moment, then suddenly ran out of the gate, turned around and went around to the side, and soon came to a small stone building next to the castle.
"The tunnel in that fork in the road extends out, and it should be at this location..." Conan walked closer to the small building, looked left and right, and soon discovered that the stone brick layout on the wall next to it was very similar to the main tunnel exit.
He pressed down hard on the larger stone.
The floor in front clicked open, revealing the passage at the end of the fork in the road.
Conan looked at the connected space and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
With the passage, before the police arrived, the people in the tunnel used the art dealer's ladder and successfully climbed out of the passage opened by Conan.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked around and worriedly found that a classmate was missing: "Where is Jiang Xia?"
"There's no blood on the ground, and no bodies." Conan first told the good news, and then said tactfully, "Scooping may have left with him for some reason."
"Leave together? Jiang Xia won't leave with her, she must have kidnapped the person!" Suzuki Sonoko was not fooled by Conan's words, and slammed the wall angrily, "It's okay to steal things, but she even wants to steal people! Humph, I have long known that she has bad intentions. When Jiang Xia helped her pick up things before, she forcibly touched the back of Jiang Xia's hand..."
Conan: "..." How long are you going to keep talking about this? My ears are almost callused from hearing it. If it doesn't work, wait until Jiang Xia is found, and then you can go over and touch him, then you'll be even...
However, Suzuki Sonoko's words gave him a new way of thinking: Shi Kaobing suddenly took the detective away, could it be that he really wanted to rape her? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she wanted to arrest someone, after all, there wasn't much to plot against Jiang Xia...
Hmm? Wait, is there some mystery of the treasure that she can't solve, and she wants Jiang Xia to help her figure it out?
Conan breathed a sigh of relief: "..." That's right, this is the most reasonable conclusion. He was actually led astray by Suzuki Sonoko just now.
"Anyway, judging from the tube of anesthetic I just picked up, it seems that Scoobing has no intention of killing Brother Jiang Xia." Conan made his own reasoning, "But Brother Jiang Xia must not be willing to help her do something illegal. If this goes on, the situation may be very dangerous. We must find them quickly."
"Let's follow this signal point." "Inspector Shiratori" took out his cell phone, pressed a few buttons and brought up the screen. He said seriously, "In fact, I've long felt that there's something fishy about Miss Pu Siqinglan, and asked my colleagues to help investigate, but there's no result yet, so to be on the safe side, I installed a locator on her..."
Conan's eyes jumped. Now he was basically sure that this "Inspector Shiratori" was definitely a fake. After all, apart from those public security police, the real police would not dare to do such a thing.
He looked up and found that "Inspector Shiratori" was also looking at him. This fake policeman seemed to realize that he had been exposed.
“…”
The two sides looked at each other, nodded secretly in order to find someone, and temporarily reached an unspoken consensus.
So when faced with the police car driving down the mountain, Conan silently shut his mouth and decided to pretend for the time being that he had no idea of Kid's identity.
…
The other side.
A group of people were preparing to track the target, and at this time they were stepping on the accelerator. After changing a car on the way, they rushed to the nearest hideout.
While Shi Kaobing was concentrating on driving, Jiang Xia glanced outside. The more he looked, the more familiar the road seemed to him - it seemed to be the same road they came from, and they had actually returned to Tokyo.
At first he wondered if Scott was going to come to Tokyo to transfer.
Later I realized that I had thought too much. The base of the Scottish soldiers was actually located in Tokyo.
Jiang Xia: "..." Why do criminals like to choose Tokyo as their base? Is Tokyo not only a good place for psychics, but also theirs?
It seems that the night activities that were carried out before in search of the organization's base should continue: when riding a motorcycle, go to places you have never been to. Even if you can't find organizational cadres of other flavors, you may be able to find some thieves with deep accumulation and harvest a batch of high-quality murderous aura or Shikigami.
While enjoying the scenery, Jiang Xia silently adjusted his schedule.
…
Next to him, Pu Siqinglan followed the path and soon arrived at his destination.
She drove to an abandoned building.
This place is currently under her fake identity. It is nominally under renovation, but in fact it has been delayed and has not been completed. It looks shabby on the outside, and few people are willing to come in. But few people know that there are priceless treasures hidden underground.
Arriving at the door, Pu Siqinglan entered the complex password, verified her palm print, and finally took out the key and opened the door to the basement.
