Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 136
With excitement, Conan immediately moved a chair to lean against the wall, and then took a stack of thick books and put them on it as a foothold, and began to try to turn the hands of the clock above.

Just when the pointer turned to twelve o'clock, the wall in front suddenly turned 360 degrees around the center, and Conan, who was too late to react, was directly involved in it.

Hearing the sound of a chair falling suddenly behind them, Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were still studying the chessboard below by the window, turned around quickly, but only saw the fallen chair and books scattered all over the floor.

"Strange, where's Conan? He was still here just now, right?" Mitsuhiko looked at Genta in confusion, and the two stared at each other, completely confused about the situation.

At this time, Conan turned on the flashlight function on his watch in the dark secret passage, and walked along the stairs extending downwards in front of him towards the bottomless space below, feeling unspeakable excitement in his heart.

When he came to the deepest part of the secret passage, he accidentally kicked something, and with a flashlight, he found that it was a mummy with almost only a skeleton left.

This sudden discovery really shocked Conan, who had seen many corpses and was always bold, but he soon calmed down, realizing that there might be unknown secrets in this castle.

Just as Conan was about to step forward to examine the mummy carefully, a big hand stretched out from behind suddenly covered his mouth and nose, and he lost consciousness before he could resist.

In the moment before he fell into a coma, Conan had a sense of déjà vu that he had been knocked down like this before, but before he recalled it, his consciousness fell into darkness.

Not long after, there was a sound of slight footsteps in the secret passage, and a thin figure came to the bottom floor, and found that the surroundings of the mummy were illuminated by light, so he hurried forward to check.

The person who came was none other than the old lady who came in from another entrance to check after she realized that the secret passage had been discovered, but anyone who saw her walking like flying now could see the strangeness in it.

When she saw clearly that the source of the light turned out to be a watch on the wrist of a little boy lying beside her, she wanted to bend down and turn off the power.

At the moment when her fingers were about to touch the watch, a skeleton hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. She was so frightened that she wanted to withdraw her arm, but found that she could not break free from the other's restraint.

She raised her head suddenly, and the next moment, the light on the watch seemed to be moving in line with her sight, pointing the light directly in front of her, and saw that the mummy that was lying on the ground just now seemed to come to life at this moment, standing upright with a Those empty eyes, like abysses, were facing her.

"Ah!!!!" The old lady let out a hoarse scream, sitting on the ground with her buttocks shaking, unable to move, completely unable to understand what happened in front of her.

I saw the mummy continued to approach her, and the skull-like face directly hit the place less than five centimeters away from her face, and made a creepy voice: "Bitch, you killed me and my daughter, and you want to occupy me!" Everything here, I’m here to take you to hell!”

Saying that, the mummy slowly stretched out its withered hands and approached the opponent's neck, but before touching the opponent's skin, the fake old lady rolled her eyes and passed out.

Seeing that the other party was so careless, Ishino lost interest, jumped down from the ceiling above the secret passage, glanced at Mutsumi Nishikawa, who was unconscious, and said that there is nothing wrong with not doing bad things and not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. wrong.

The reason why Ishino appeared here was naturally because he knew what would happen next and prepared in advance.

Half an hour ago, when the children started the adventure tour of the castle with great enthusiasm, Ishino said that he was more interested in the artistic atmosphere in this medieval castle than solving puzzles, so he got the opportunity to do activities alone.

He quickly found the entrance of a secret passage, entered it silently and arrived at the bottom of the castle where the corpse was in advance, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

After all, the main purpose of his trip was to take away Mutsumi Nishikawa who had plastic surgery to become the old lady of the castle, so it was naturally the best choice to do it in this secret way.

As for the student Conan who was used as a bait, this was originally his own act of killing himself, and he almost gave his life here.

Shi Yexin wanted to help him sleep well, so as not to suffer from a bloody head. Doesn't the other party owe him another favor now, and let his parents who don't care about them pay back these favors.

As for the scene where the mummy came back to scare Mutsumi Nishikawa just now, it was nothing more than Ishino's magic technique of manipulating the corpse with steel wires. Although I am a little sorry for the real old lady's remains, I believe that if the other party is alive, he knows that this is for punishing and killing. Her murderer should feel very relieved.

After tidying up the scene and removing the obvious traces, Ishino mentioned the unconscious Mutsumi Nishikawa and walked towards the end of the underground passage, leaving only Conan lying there.

After all, it is up to Conan to solve the final mystery of this incident. After he wakes up and discovers the truth of the treasure and the true identity of the "Old Lady", Ishino's affairs may have already been completed.

Ishino carried Mutsumi Nishikawa back to the ground from the hidden entrance of the abandoned stone tower, then quickly drilled into the forest behind, and after a circle, he came to the road in front of the castle.

Not far away, a black car parked on the side of the road saw Ishino coming out of the woods, and took the initiative to drive to the other side to stop, and saw a blond beauty in very cool clothes getting out of the car, not Bell. Who could Mo De be?

"It's okay, I didn't make me wait too long." Looking at Shi Ye who was walking towards this side with a person on his back, Belmore frowned slightly and asked, "Say it, call me to this barren mountain and wild place What's the matter?"

Ishino opened the car door and threw Mutsumi Nishikawa to the back seat, signaling Belmore to sit back in the car with him, and then explained the purpose of this operation to the other party.

As Yoko and Pandora's secret insider, there is no need to hide Belmode's suspended animation plan like this, so in Ishino's plan, this time is to use her ability to change appearance and voice to steal people plan.

Firstly, I will secretly take Mutsumi Nishikawa, who is pretending to be the old lady, out of the castle, then let Belmord disguise as the old lady and return to the castle, and finally, after Conan solves the mystery, he can perform a escape in fear of crime and you will be done.

After listening to Ishino's explanation, Belmore knew that this was preparing for Yoko's plan, so he readily agreed, and the two of them quickly completed the disguise work with the cooperation.

After that, Ishino threw Mutsumi Nishikawa, who had been stripped of his clothes, into the trunk, took Belmode back to the abandoned stone tower, and returned to the castle through the secret passage.
