Conan: The Mechanic

"Everyone, come together!" After Conan saw Griphook, he immediately understood how to open the secret passage. "Pull this up!"

The main hall is very heavy, but the board attached to this pull ring seems to be very light. After all, since all the heavy things in the main hall have been lifted, the entire mechanism must have been discovered, so there is no need to set up any more obstacles.

When the board was pulled up, everyone was surprised.

There are more than ten steps leading from the ground to about two meters underground, and at the end of the steps, there is a secret passage made of stone!

"Don't go in yet," Conan advised when Yuan Tai and the others were making a commotion about going in. "Maybe there will be no oxygen!"

"It's alright, there is plenty of oxygen inside." Tadao said lightly.

"How would you know..." Kubo Sayuki was wondering about this question when she heard Conan's somewhat relieved voice.

"Brother Tadao, have you discovered this place before?"

"Since you already know, do you still need to confirm it with me again?" Tadao slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at Conan. "So I don't need to hide it anymore!"

"Is it discovered a year ago?" Conan showed a clear expression.

"How did you see it?" Tadao raised his eyebrows.

"Guess," Conan shrugged. "Mainly, brother Tadao, you disappeared for more than a year. This kind of thing is really unusual, so I thought it was a fortuitous encounter with brother Tadao."

"Unusual?" Mitsuhiko was a little surprised. "Is there anything strange about Tadao-san?"

"Brother Tadao, you like the number 10, right?" Conan spread his hands. "I've seen the warehouse here before, and I've seen Tadao's behavior in the morning when he sorted out the cups and saucers. You like to sort the cups and saucers in units of 10. This can also be derived from... Forget it, when I No. In short, you like 10, to the point of being paranoid, so paranoid that yesterday when 11 people participated in the evening discussion, you had to put away your own teacup, leaving only ten teacups left. (Conan wanted to say that the shotgun in Tadao's car had 10 solid and 10 open rounds, and there were 10 packs of compressed biscuits in the bag next to it, which was enough to prove Tadao's hobby. However, if If Conan says it, it will reveal the fact that he has seen his shotgun, so Conan can't say it.)

"However, according to Sister Shaxue, you came back after working for a little over a year. Brother, your car has a very delicate Chinese knot with a metal sign hanging on it. That metal sign is not an ordinary thing, but It's a small gift from an engineering company near Mihua. That company is known in the part-time job world for its relatively generous salary and room and board - of course, the barriers to entry are also high. I used to know about that company, The salary of the workers is stable 5*8 work a week, with a net weekly salary of 24,000 yen. In this case, the money you save should be around 1.25 million to 1.5 million yen. Before, Miss Sayuki told me unintentionally, Tadao My husband needs to pay about 200,000 yen per year. That is to say, Tadao-ge, the money you earn can pay your salary for 6 to 7.5 years. Such a fragmentary figure may be a huge torture for you who are close to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Isn't it? So if you don't have a special purpose, you will never quit your job at will after a little over a year. Therefore, I judge that the reason for your leaving and the reason for coming back are probably not very simple."

"..." Tadao kept looking a little overwhelmed when he listened to Conan's inference, but he replied with a wry smile after Conan gave the conclusion. "Okay... let's not discuss this for now. Since you found this place, why don't you go down and have a look? Although it's right to say it's empty..."

"Hmm..." Conan looked into Tadao's eyes, and there was the surprise that the secret was pierced, the surprise that he was used to being pointed out, but he didn't bring the scruples after the maliciousness was discovered. "Okay, then let's go down and have a look."

Since there is no malicious intent, then there is no need to break the secret. Let him reveal it himself when he wants to show it.

. . .

"The complete masonry structure..." Sayuki gently pressed her fingers against the wall, letting them slide as they moved under her feet. "This secret passage is very delicate."

"It always feels like walking in a dark passage in the Pharaoh's pyramid..." Yuan Tai sighed with emotion. "Exciting, cool, moist air, shivering with excitement."

"Pharaoh's Pyramid is not a good place to enter," said Tadao, who did not observe the surrounding scene, but only used a flashlight to illuminate the path in front of the children walking in the front. "For example, Tutankhamun's pyramid is a cursed place to kill people. As long as people go in, they don't come out alive."

"Is that fake?" Conan looked confused. "If I remember correctly, only one or two of the dozen or so people who were killed were killed... and many of the first people who entered the pharaoh's tomb also lived for a long time. For example, the daughter of Carnarvon V survived. 1980!"

"It's over..." While the two were discussing the unsolved case more than half a century ago, Yuan Tai, who was leading the charge, suddenly said in surprise. "Damn, is this just an ordinary secret passage?"

"It's over?" Conan was a little surprised. "Is such a gorgeous masonry just an ordinary hiding spot?"

"This place was originally a place to store weapons or food, but apparently it's been removed long ago, so of course there's nothing left." Tadao spread his hands. "Okay, we should go back!"

"Wait a minute," Conan's expression suddenly became a little surprised. "Brother Tadao, don't you think the air here is too fresh?"

"Someone must have changed the air here, right?" Tadao said that he really doesn't know what happened now~www.readwn.com~ Don't ask me, I haven't been to this village for a year. "

"Not the kind of air that is stored here after ventilation," Conan's nose twitched, then said. "It's direct convection, the freshest air."

"How is that possible?" Tadao looked incredulous. "We have walked more than 40 meters in this dark passage. How can we feel the fresh air coming directly from the convection?"

"Yeah," Saxue was also a little confused. "After all, the excavation can only reach thirty-three, right?"

"The excavation can only reach thirty-three?" All the little guys were surprised. "what does that mean?"

"An ancient proverb, used in mining by miners," explained Conan. "Ancient one is about 1.8 meters, and thirty-three is about 60 meters. If you are too aggressive when digging a mine, and dig more than 60 meters, then the air convection will encounter difficulties, and the miners inside may be In danger of life. Wait a minute... don't tell me..."

Conan suddenly leaned against the stone wall beside him. After a few seconds of stillness, he smiled and pressed on a wall tile. "The color of this brick is not right, and there is fresh air coming out of the back..."

The rumble of the machine surprised everyone, including Tadao, and saw that the section of the stone wall that Conan was leaning against suddenly dented inward, revealing a stone room with windows that was illuminated by sunlight. There was a stone tablet in the middle of the stone chamber, and something under the stone tablet immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Ahhhh!!!" The screams echoed in the secret passage immediately.

A half-ossified corpse, wearing a brown trench coat and jeans, was half-lying at the base of the stele.

"Father... Father?" Kubo Sayuki's trembling voice surprised everyone again.
