Chapter 1388 1396 [Jiang Xia once said]
However, now that things have already happened, it seems useless to worry about Jiang Xia or Shi Kaobing - before that, they must first escape from the underground before they can take corresponding measures.
A group of people followed what "Inspector Shiratori" said, went to find the fork in the road, and walked forward carefully.
Although now didn't seem like a good time to chat, what had just happened was so shocking that they could hardly help but discuss it.
"Ms. Qinglan is actually the notorious 'Scooping'? She doesn't look like him at all." Kosaka Natsumi was thinking that she and the other party were very compatible. The two were the same age, with birthdays only two days apart, and even their eyes were very similar - she rarely saw people with gray eyes.
But at this moment, Pu Siqinglan suddenly turned into a villain who had just killed someone. She couldn't help but find it hard to believe: "Why did things turn out like this..."
"Oh, don't talk about you. I have so much experience, but I still made a mistake." The art dealer comforted the beautiful young woman, "It's all because she disguised herself too well. Who would have thought that a thief who only robbed the secret treasures of the Romanov dynasty would actually be a Chinese."
Conan interrupted: "No, she is actually a Russian."
"Russian?"
The others were very shocked at first, but after looking in the direction of the voice, their eyes became suspicious - because the person who spoke was a primary school student.
Conan was originally stroking his chin, sorting out his thoughts.
Suddenly being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, he was about to explain his reasoning, but suddenly he remembered his birthday, which he almost revealed when chatting on the boat.
"..." Conan's gaze paused on Mouri Ran's delicate little hand, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
After a moment, he skillfully squeezed out the voice of a child and pulled out a universal shield: "Well, that, it was Brother Jiang Xia who told me - we originally wanted to find a way to subdue her when we leave here, or simply drive the car to the police station when we go back. Who knew that Shi Kaobing acted too quickly... In short, 'Pusi Qinglan' is a fake identity! - She is very likely the descendant of the evil monk Rasputin.
"The name 'Pusi Qinglan' was rearranged to become 'Rasputin'. She must have thought that after the death of the emperor's family, the inheritance should be inherited by 'Rasputin' who had a very good relationship with the royal family, so she has been plundering the secret treasures of the Romanov dynasty. When killing people, she always hit their right eyes because Rasputin's right eye was damaged when he died."
"That evil monk actually has such a beautiful offspring." The art dealer was shocked, and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, that means the ring on the photographer's neck is actually real?!... He killed someone just for a ring, this guy is really scary."
Conan shook his head: "Snatching the ring was only one of the reasons why she took action. The more important reason was the photo." He looked at the girls, "Do you remember that when we went to Pu Siqinglan's room yesterday afternoon and asked her to play cards, there was a photo frame on her TV cabinet."
Speaking of this, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered, and slammed her fist on her palm: "Are you talking about the photo of her boyfriend? I remember there was a name written on the back of the photo frame. It was a foreigner with a difficult name... Hmm?! Wait, could that be..."
"Yes, it was not a boyfriend at all, but a photo of Rasputin. The name written on the back of the photo frame was 'Grigoriy' - Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin. This is his full name."
"The 'Grigori' written on the back of the photo frame is the English 'Grigori'. The 'Grigori' in the signature we saw on the photo on the first floor just now only has the first letter of the Russian 'Григорий' written on it. That's why I didn't discover Pu Siqinglan's identity in time."
Conan thought of the people trapped after the tunnel collapsed, and Jiang Xia who ran away alone chasing the dangerous Pu Siqinglan. He punched the innocent wall regretfully: "If only I could recognize her before going down the tunnel."
Mao Lilan felt puzzled, touched his head and consoled him: "You are a primary school student, it is normal that you can't recognize it."
"!"
Conan came back to his senses and laughed dryly: "Ahaha, that's right, I was just imitating Brother Jiang Xia's mental journey - well, anyway, yesterday afternoon, before we went to find Pu Siqinglan, the photographer went to her place first and took surprise photos of her room as he did to us. At that time, he may have accidentally taken the photo of Rasputin on the TV cabinet.
"The photographer also had some research on modern Russian history. Pu Siqinglan was worried that when he played back the videotapes, this flaw would reveal her identity, so she killed him and took away all the videotapes. Of course, she must have wanted the ring too, but by mistake, the ring was placed in the bedroom of Nishino's secretary by the deceased."
The ambassador snorted angrily, "This bastard is so careless in killing people. He shot the photographer in the head on the boat just because of this... If she didn't want to be seen, why did she put the photos out? Isn't this a sting operation?"
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other silently: I don't know why, they actually felt that this reason for murder was quite normal compared to the cases they usually encountered...
Just as he was thinking about it, the "Inspector Shiratori" beside him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, there really is another way here."
Several people were startled and looked in the direction of his flashlight with expectation.
…
Just now, they followed the fork in the road and gradually arrived at a tunnel-like place.
Now the stone "tunnel" has come to an end, and outside is a soft earth pit. Opposite the earth pit, on the upper part of the wall, there is a passage extending into the distance.
"Inspector Shiratori" raised the flashlight as high as he could and shone it into the passage.
After a moment, he frowned: the passage couldn't reach the end, and he didn't feel any light over there. Could it be that this passage didn't lead directly to the outside?
...But no matter what, since there is a way ahead, it is worth a try.
"Inspector Shiratori" did not voice out his concerns, but said optimistically: "Let's go and take a look."
"good!"
A group of people gathered beside the passage and looked up at the height of the passage. After a moment, they fell into deep thought: "It must be three or four meters high. How do we get up there?"
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly discovered something. She picked up a soft object on the ground with the tip of her shoe and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"Inspector Shiratori" squatted down and took a look: "It should be a rope ladder. It used to be hung here for people to enter and exit, but now it has been nearly a hundred years, and it has rotted away because of the long time."
