Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1837 The Red Light That Followed

"Ms. Xia Mei, do you know what the name 'Magician of the End of the Century' means?"

In the castle, everyone discovered the existence of the secret room and walked down together. Siruov couldn't help but feel strange that the password to open the entrance to this secret passage was "Magician of the End of the Century" in Russian, so he asked Kosaka Natsumi.

  In response to this question, Natsumi Kosaka was well prepared and responded:

"I thought about this question carefully after Mr. Mingzhi told me the meaning of this sentence I remembered. I thought that this might be the title of my great-grandfather.

"My great-grandfather participated in the 1900 World Expo when he was years old, and later moved to Russia."

  As a result, as this answer came out, Maori Kogoro on the side couldn't help but say:

"I see. 1900 is definitely the end of the century."

"Because I participated in the World Expo at the end of the century, I was called the 'magician of the end of the century'..."

But after hearing this answer, Conan was still full of doubts and couldn't help thinking -

"But the most important question is, why did Kaito Kid know this name? And he deliberately left this name on the notice... What exactly does he want to do?"

At this point, based on the clues he had, Conans couldn't come to any conclusion after thinking about it. He could only move forward with everyone and think that perhaps he would know the answer after finding the second "memory easter egg".

In this way, the group was led by Ginzo Nakamori in the front, while Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai followed behind as the rear guard, in order to keep an eye on everyone and prevent them from acting rashly.

In this way, the group of people kept walking forward along the road in front of them. In the end, they did not find any detours, and naturally reached the end of the road they could walk on. In the end, they were blocked by a stone wall.

"Eh? No way out?"

Looking at the situation where there was no way out, Nakamori Ginzo was surprised and obviously a little overwhelmed by the situation. After all, the hidden underground secret room had been found. There was no reason why the truly important treasures would not be hidden here?

But I didn't see anything along the way. I just reached the end of the road and saw this stone wall and the murals carved on the stone wall. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Seeing this, General Qian couldn't accept the result at all and asked:

"You're not taking the wrong path, are you?"

"This should be impossible. There should be only this one road along the way!"

Nakamori Ginzo said with certainty.

——"Actually, there is a fork in the road..."

When Gao Yuan heard Nakamori Ginzo's confidence, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, because there was actually another hidden secret passage leading to here, so there was actually another fork in the road underground.

However, this fork in the road eventually leads to a tower outside the castle, and the entrance to the main road is a bit hidden from the main road, so no one noticed it when they were walking just now, and they only focused on the only road under their feet that was obviously opened up. Therefore, although there is actually a fork in the road, Gao Yuan does not need to say it, because this is the correct place, and it depends on unlocking the key mechanism.

So, facing this situation, Gao Yuan looked at Conan, thinking that it would be better to let Conan try to solve the puzzle, as it would be too boring for him to announce the correct answer himself.

So, just as Gao Yuan thought, after realizing that they were not on the wrong path and that Kiichi Kosaka was a master of mechanisms, Conan immediately considered the possibility of the existence of mechanisms. Then he took his watch, turned on the flashlight function and began to illuminate the pictures and texts on the stone wall, trying to find some keys.

As a result, everyone saw that the stone wall was carved with various bird patterns, and in the middle was an image of a two-headed bird. On top of the two-headed bird's head, there was a relief of a crown.

  Seeing this, Xiruouf couldn't help but say:

"The two-headed eagle, the symbol of the Tsar..."

So, after hearing this, Conan naturally focused his attention on the double-headed eagle pattern. This was not only because of the standard symbolic meaning, but also because of the position and size of this symbol. It was obvious that the center of gravity of the relief on the stone wall was here. So if there was a mechanism, it should be here.

Just like that, Conan focused on checking this icon and soon noticed that the relief of the crown seemed to be a little different from other places in terms of craftsmanship. So Conan focused the light of the flashlight on the crown, and when he was about to take a closer look -

Suddenly, without any warning, as if some mechanism had been triggered, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet begin to move.

——“Is this how it was solved?”

In this regard, Gao Yuan was standing at the back, just out of the area affected by the mechanical sports meeting. When he saw Conan thoughtfully shining a flashlight at the embossed crown and began to examine it, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh that this accidental triggering of the mechanism -

All I can say is, is this a changing of the times?

The photosensitive mechanism set up by Kiichi Kosaka here, in that era, ordinary light sources were not bright enough to reach the triggering threshold of the mechanism, so it was necessary to focus the light to illuminate a specific area to trigger it. But now, the light intensity of flashlights has changed a lot, and just random illumination is enough to touch the triggering threshold of the mechanism.

Just like that, before Conan had fully figured out how he triggered the mechanism, as the ground moved, a passage continuing downwards appeared on the ground in front of the stone wall.

Seeing this, although most people were still confused about the triggering principle of the mechanism, this did not prevent everyone from moving forward. In this way, everyone continued to walk down, still with Nakamori Ginzo leading the team in front and Gao Yuan at the back.

However, when Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai, who were at the end of the line, were about to follow, Gao Yuan seemed to sense something and turned around to look behind him.

But all I could see was darkness, and I couldn't see anything.

So, Gao Yuan thought that maybe Kaito Kidd had really come, so he didn't think much about it, smiled slightly, and followed Ai down.

Of course, Gao Yuan's guess was not wrong, because just after Gao Yuan and others entered the next passage, the figure of Kaito Kidd dressed in white did appear here. After everyone had been in there for a while, Kaito Kidd confirmed that he would not be discovered immediately if he entered now, and then he entered the core area of ​​the basement without making any noise.

However, as Kaito Kidd entered, the three dots of red light on the dark ceiling behind him lit up again, like some creature's glasses, staring at the passage where everyone entered...
