Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 87 The End of the World Line
The heavy iron door was slowly opened, and two short figures walked in poking around.

"It's a prison cell...but why is it in this kind of place?"

Conan looked at the dungeon in front of him in amazement.

Ayumi next to her saw the long-haired figure lying in the cell, and hugged Conan's arm without saying a word.

"Okay, there seems to be someone!"

Conan, who didn't realize that he was being raped by a child, considered all possibilities based on all the clues he had so far.

Is it a bum living here?

But why don't the homeless live in the guest room above, but in the cell in the basement?
What is the relationship between the person in this cell and the person in the long black dress outside?
And the nearby rumors that this bungalow is haunted are also caused by the people who live here?
Conan had a lot of doubts in his heart, but before he could think of the answer, heavy and slow footsteps came from outside the door.

In desperation, Conan immediately fell in love with the metal cabinet in the corner.

But when Conan dragged Ayumi to the metal cabinet and wanted to open the door to hide in, he couldn't.

Conan: "?"

The tin cabinet is the most common storage cabinet without a keyhole, so it should be opened with a single pull.

Is the door jammed by debris inside?
The footsteps were getting closer, and Conan had no time to think, and dragged Ayumi to hide in the gap between the metal cabinet and the wall next to it.

Inside the metal cabinet, Qin Zhibo was hooking two fingers on the metal protrusion on the edge of the metal door.

Through the ventilation gap on the cabinet door just now, Qin Zhibo saw Conan pulling Ayumi and heading straight for his hiding place.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo hooked the door with his finger very delicately, so that Conan could not open the cabinet door.

It's not that Qin Zhibo doesn't want Conan and Ayumi to hide in.

It's just that the space in this metal cabinet is limited, and Qin Zhibo, who is as tall as 70, is very crowded in it, and it is impossible to fit two children.

Moreover, once Conan and Ayumi opened the cabinet and saw themselves hiding in the cabinet without warning, they would definitely show extremely shocked expressions and stand in a stalemate for a few seconds.

At that time, everyone will be exposed.

So Qin Zhibo thinks it's better to hide separately, anyway, there is a gap next to the cabinet where people can hide.

At this moment, the heavy iron door made a creaking sound, and another person walked into the secret room.

Qin Zhibo in the cabinet and Conan beside the cabinet started to listen to each other at the same time.

A person in a long black dress came in with a dinner plate, and the candles on the plate were flickered, and the plate was placed on the ground.

"It's time to eat."

"Come over for dinner."

There were two calls in soft voices, but the person lying on the bed in the cell only moved his arms a little, and he didn't have the slightest intention to come down to eat.

Outside the iron fence, the man in black skirt kneeling on the stone floor let out a long sigh.

"Akio."

"It's been five years, just forget about that"

"Because no matter how painful you are, the dead will never come back."

Hearing this, Conan's eyes widened beside the cabinet, and he remembered the photo he had just seen in the upstairs study.

The photo is a family portrait.

There are three people in the family portrait, a bald man sitting in the main seat and a mother and son who look very similar.

Five years ago, the male owner here was killed.

If the man who was killed was the man in the photo, then these two people should be
So, the secret of this house and the truth of that matter.

I get it all!
"Okay, okay, eat quickly."

"I imprisoned you here for your own good!"

"As long as you endure until the prosecution period for the case passes, everything will be fine."

The man in the black skirt continued to pass the dinner plate in, but the person lying on the bed inside remained unmoved.

At this moment, the man in the black skirt suddenly lost his temper and beat the ground with his hands.

"Eat! Why don't you eat!"

"If you don't eat today, you will be gone!"

"eat fast!"

The voice of the man in the black skirt suddenly raised, which frightened Ayumi behind Conan, and her body flinched involuntarily.

This shrinking didn't matter, but the foot hit the mop in the crooked corner impartially, causing the mop pole to lose its balance and hit the ground.

But fortunately, Conan reacted quickly enough, and because he didn't practice football for so many years, he directly lifted his foot and hooked the mop pole that was about to fall to the ground.

call--

Conan heaved a sigh of relief.

But at this time, Qin Zhibo, who was hiding in the metal cabinet, felt something was wrong.

I don't know what was put in this metal cabinet before, but now there is a pungent smell in the cabinet.

Qin Zhibo has been enduring it since just now, but with the continuous attack of this strange smell on his nasal cavity, Qin Zhibo finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Want to sneeze.
Seeing that the sneeze was going to be uncontrollable, Qin Zhibo quickly covered his mouth with both hands to try to keep the sneeze as silent as possible.

But correspondingly, Qin Zhibo's body trembled due to the recoil of the sneeze.

This tremor caused the metal cabinet to shake.

Then by coincidence, the iron bucket on the iron cabinet lost its balance and rolled down, making a loud noise.

bang-

A loud sound echoed in the dungeon, the man in the black skirt shrank his pupils suddenly, stared back, and at the same time picked up the sharp knife at his feet and said threateningly.

"I felt that besides the two people just now, there seemed to be other mice sneaking in."

"Okay, come out! It's useless to hide."

"Sarah! Come out!"

The man in the black skirt stared fiercely in the direction of the cabinet.

Conan next to the cabinet first gritted his teeth nervously, and then showed a soothing smile.

It's no use hiding, is it?

Now his position has been noticed by the other party, as long as he walks over to take a look, his position and Ayumi's position will be instantly revealed.

It's better to go out generously now and frighten the other party with words, the chance of escape is better.

And the iron bucket fell to the ground just now.

If persuasion fails, let you taste the taste of scoring goals!

Conan calculated the next plan in his mind, broke away from the arm held by Ayumi, and walked straight out.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo in the cabinet also experienced a brief psychological struggle.

Is this person talking about me?After all, it was my voice just now.

It's useless to say that I hide?

but
Why should I hide?

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to open the cabinet door and come out, Conan beside the cabinet had already made a sound first.

"Ma'am, I think it should be you who said that?"

"I saw them all when I was in the study just now, the photos taken with you by the master who was killed five years ago."

"And the man standing next to the picture, the madman who's been hiding in the basement for five years."

"Although I'm not sure about his appearance, I know that this person is your son!"

"Because you don't have that mole under your eye!"

　The meaning of the title of this chapter: If Qin Zhibo is not in the cabinet, Conan will support the cabinet next to him when he hooked the mop pole with his foot, and the cabinet will shake because it is too light, causing the iron bucket on it to fall.

　　And if Qin is in the cabinet, the cabinet will not shake because it is too light, but Qin will cause the cabinet to shake because of sneezing, and the iron bucket will still fall down.

　　So all of this is the choice of Steins;Gate!
