I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

And in the distance, a dark passage leads to nowhere.

Serabel walked over and knelt down, picked up the rope ladder and held it in her hand.

"Actually, when I saw this tower in the room on the west side of the castle, I was thinking, what would a craftsman who fled back to Japan from the October Revolution in Russia do with such a tower instead of building a castle... In the past, Europe Some lords will build dungeons under high towers specifically to hold prisoners and slaves who rebel against them, but this tower is obviously not used for this purpose."

"Furthermore, judging from the structure that looked like an amusement park slide when I came down just now, the part under this tower was obviously used by the previous owner of the castle."

"As for what to do with it, unless the original owner of the castle and his wife have any special hobbies..."

slap!

Before Serabel could finish speaking, he felt a moderate kick on his calf.

Turning his head to look, he saw a girl with brown hair looking at him with a fierce face, and a few big words shining in her eyes.

——Don’t bring up bad children!

Behind him were three little ones with curious faces.

"special……"

"Hook..."

"what is that?"

Emmm~

Realizing that she seemed to have almost spoiled the child just now, Serabel suddenly froze as she changed her mouth shape as she spoke.

Think a little and organize your language.

"Uh... In the past, many lords used to dig a secret passage from their bedrooms to the outside in order to avoid being assassinated by their enemies in the middle of the night. In case of an emergency, they could escape through the secret passage, and they would also build secret rooms deep in the secret passage. , hide all important treasures inside, so that losses can be minimized even during the escape process."

"So, according to my inference, it is very likely that the space under this tower can also lead to the place where the treasure is buried."

Well, as expected of me, I can force the building back to its right position.

After a random analysis, London Glory Executioner gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Hearing this, Ayumi's eyes widened slightly, with expectations visible to the naked eye flashing in them: "That means..."

"We still have a chance to find the treasure before Conan does!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko also understood.

Serabel snapped her fingers coolly: "Yes, that's it~"

"So--"

As if they had been injected with a tonic, the three little eyes of the young detective team lit up again, and they raised their arms in unison.

"Young Detective Team, let's go again!!!"

"Let's go~let's hold hands~"

"Let's go on an outing to the green mountains and green waters together~"

One minute later, Gentai Ayu and Mitsuhiko walked in a row in front of them, and together... ah no, they were singing a ballad in which the original song could not be heard at all.

Serabel raised her phone and illuminated it and followed behind. The brown-haired girl beside her, who was leisurely holding her little hands behind her back, had a faint smile on her face. She freed up one hand to brush the hair hanging down beside her ear, looking at Slightly slanted.

"I can't tell, but you are pretty good at taking care of children."

"To be honest, I'm surprised that I am unexpectedly talented at this kind of thing..."

"Actually, you can be more modest."

"Aba Aba~"?

Chapter 146 Ai Jiang is furious

Ten minutes later, we were still in the secret passage below the tower.

Multiple footsteps echoed in the dark and long space.

Serabel was still walking behind with her mobile phone as a source of light, while the young detective team in front was more energetic than when they first set off, and the singing at this moment became gradually sparse.

"We...little hands...holding hands...green mountains...green water..."

Yuanta couldn't sing anymore when he was halfway through singing. He stopped and took a deep breath and turned to look at Serabel pitifully.

"How long do we have to walk? It feels like we are almost crossing the entire mountain."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Serabel glanced at the time displayed in the upper left corner of the phone screen.

"In terms of time, it has been less than 3 minutes since we set off from the bottom of the tower, and the distance we walked may only be 200 meters. As for you feeling tired, it is because you have been singing."

"Also, Genta-kun, you really need to lose weight." Ayumi followed.

"Lose weight...?"

Genta lowered his head and patted his belly, which was exactly like Dr. A Li's shrinkage. His eyes looked innocent.

After all, he didn't want to gain so much flesh.

Serabel breathed out slowly: "Let's not care about whether we can lose weight or not. Anyway, let's move forward. Otherwise, they will find the treasure first."

"But I can't walk anymore..."

Yuantai's face showed an expression of "fat house despair.JPG".

Serabel shrugged: "As long as you don't sing, you can walk."

"But just walking without singing is a bit boring..."

"Then I can play a song for you."

Serabel said, then operated the phone and opened the music player software.

"Anyway, I still have plenty of battery in my phone. What kind of music do you want to listen to? More relaxing or more intense?"

"Intense!" Yuantai said decisively.

"It's best to be grand and domineering!" Mitsuhiko added the condition.

"Intense... magnificent and domineering..."

Serabel flipped through the favorites for a while, and suddenly let out an oh.

"There is."

Touch the screen to play, and the song will come out from your phone immediately.

【And beneath the distant stars】

【The Emperor's light shall cover us】

Since the lyrics are all in English, the three little ones, who are only in the first grade of primary school, naturally cannot understand a single word. However, this does not prevent them from being infected by the low and rhythmic tune, which is like mobilizing before a march. He continued to move forward while humming the melody, and even his steps were much stronger than when he started.

However, if the former does not understand, it does not mean that Haibara Ai cannot understand either. As a top student who went to the United States to study for a Ph.D. when she was less than 13 years old, the brown-haired girl's English level has always been first-rate, so she After listening to the first two lyrics, I showed an expression that looked like an old man using a subway cell phone.

Under the distant stars the Emperor's glory shines upon us?

What weird things does this guy usually listen to?

……

Listening to this English ditty that was very touching even though they didn’t understand its meaning, the three boys from the Young Detective Team finally came to a fork in the road after another 2 minutes of trekking.

"Ah? You can go left or right here. Where should I go?"

It was okay to walk along the same road to Hei Na, but now there was a sudden fork in the road, and the three children suddenly couldn't make up their minds.

After all, the stone walls and floors along the way were all the same, and there were no signboards or the like. There were no hints at all, and I couldn't tell from left to right.

"What should I do? Brother Sera, does he know where to go?" Ayumi looked back eagerly.

"Let me see..."

Serabel said this, but she probably already knew it in her heart.

Although the road under the tower is a bit winding, it is not difficult to construct a three-dimensional map of the entire underground of the castle with his spatial imagination. Judging from the direction in which Tomoko Suzuki and others came down at that time, there are only two passages to this point. The intersection coordinates.

To put it simply, if you take the fork on the right, you will return to the study room on the first floor of the castle, and if you take the left, you will continue forward.

Serabel came to the middle of the fork in the road, and squatted down to see if there were any footprints on the ground left by Tomoko Suzuki and her group when they passed by.

Just then, a light shone through the darkness on the right.

Serabel immediately stood up and returned the photo, followed by a familiar complaint.

"Hey, who is it? Don't shine the flashlight into someone's glasses in such a dark environment!"

It turned out to be Mouri Kogoro and others, and they had just arrived here.

"Why don't you put down the flashlight in your hand before complaining to others like this?"

Serabel's hand holding the phone dropped, and the hazy light produced by the diffuse reflection of the light on the floor barely illuminated a small area around him, including himself.

He turned to the children of the Young Detective Corps who were holding on to the wall and looking out cautiously in the side road.

"Come out, I caught your little friend."

Eh?

Conan, who was mixed in with the large army, saw Serabel suddenly appearing in front and originally wanted to rush up and ask what was going on. When he heard the latter's words, his heart couldn't help but the words "No way" flashed in his mind. And passed.

The next second, he saw three familiar figures similar to himself rushing out from around the corner, rushing straight over like huskies having fun.

"Yo! Conan!"

"Are you surprised?"

"You didn't expect it, we are faster than you~"

"..."

Looking at the three people with proud expressions in front of him, Conan's mouth twitched slightly and he glanced at Serabel, who was standing with a girl with brown hair not far away.

This guy was just wandering around alone, why did he bring them here too!

Naturally, Serabel didn't know about Conan's rich psychological activities. He turned the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to the left... There was no road there, and he came face to face with a wall with a painting of a big bird that kept spreading its wings. , the big bird wears a crown on its head, inlaid with sparkling gems.

It is worth mentioning that both the big bird and the crown on the mural are painted with paint, but only the gems inlaid on the crown are real gems embedded in the wall.

Out of curiosity about the shiny things, Serabel moved closer and shone more light with her flashlight.

The slightly dazzling white light in the dark environment converges on several gems, and the surface of the gems glows with sparkling luster.

The next second, there was another thunderous sound from below the ground.

Just like in the study before, with a tremor coming from the soles of the feet, the ground under the mural slowly opened to both sides, revealing a staircase that continued downward.

In the room under the stairs, a coffin with exquisite patterns is placed across the center.

This is a tomb.

Serabel whistled.

"It seems that this is the end of our treasure hunting journey."

"It seems like you always surprise me every time." Tomoko Suzuki smiled.

"Well, it's just a coincidence."

Serabel told the truth.

Just imagine, the entire mural is filled with paint, and only a few gems are actually embedded in it. A normal and curious person would try to take a closer look, and then pick and touch it if possible.

But before he could get to the second step, the secret passage leading to the tomb opened on its own.

When Hui Yuan Ai heard this, he silently rolled his eyes in his heart.

You know how to be humble at this time, right? ?

Chapter 147 Construction with leftover materials!

The final destination of this treasure hunt is actually in a tomb.

Going down the steps exposed after the mechanism is opened, the tomb seems to be a closed space, but when you actually step into it, you will find that it does not look stuffy at all, but you can feel the slightest bit of air circulating.
