Conan Rick's Investigator

Although calling for help is a bit unfair, from the perspective of the most basic human emotions, Conan still hopes that Yuriko Matsunaka can get her great-grandfather's inheritance so that her future life will be better.

Moreover, according to the order of inheritance, the puzzle challenges have been carried out on a child as young as Matsunaka Yuriko. If we go further, it is difficult to imagine what kind of relatives they are.

After the challenges from the relatives are over, it will be the turn of non-relatives who were close to Yin Shichuan Gangsan during his lifetime.

Mr. Zhong is probably one of the heirs listed in the will...

Conan's eyes became serious. Thinking of the strange things about the clock, he couldn't help but become more cautious.

Just as Conan was thinking, a scream suddenly came from the corridor outside the door.

"what--!"

The shrill duck voice startled Conan Tong Kong who was sitting on the bed.

It's Yuanta!

Chapter 928 Substituting one thing for another

Genta!

Conan gritted his teeth and quickly got out of bed.

But after sitting cross-legged for too long, he got out of bed immediately. His legs were still a little numb, but time was running out, so Conan didn't care about anything else and limped towards the door.

"Genta!"

"..."

There was no response from the second floor, so Conan could only assume that Genta and Mitsuhiko went to the bathroom on the first floor.

Holding the railing and reaching the first floor, Conan shouted again.

"Genta!"

"Conan! I'm here..."

Following the direction of the sound, Conan used the light of the watch-shaped flashlight to walk through the long corridor, passed by the restaurant where he had just had dinner, and came to the kitchen door.

I saw Yuantai sitting at the kitchen door, his chubby body looked like a small mountain of flesh, and his face was full of fear.

"Yuanta, why are you here? Didn't you go to the bathroom with Mitsuhiko?"

"I……"

Faced with Conan's questions, Genta hesitated and then revealed the real purpose of his coming out.

"Actually, I came out to find something to eat...but I just met someone here!"

Yuantai pointed tremblingly at the kitchen counter, but it was illuminated by the cold moonlight outside the window and was empty.

Conan frowned and looked into the kitchen. There was indeed no one inside, so he went back and asked Genta again.

"What are the characteristics of that person?"

Yuan Tai shook his head in confusion. "It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly... but he was very tall, he must be an adult."

"I came over and saw him, and he saw me, and then he ran past me."

Adult?

There was some confusion in Conan's eyes. The servants and staff in the museum must have all withdrawn in advance for the fairness of the puzzle challenge.

Logically speaking, there should be no other adults in the Angel's House except Mr. Clock.

But who is this person?

And why in the kitchen?

Conan walked into the kitchen and stepped on a stool to check the counter.

On the counter was the leftover dinner of the Junior Detective Team, including steak, rolls, fruit salad, etc.

But there was originally a lot of food left, and it was basically all eaten up. There was not a piece of steak left, two rolls left, and the only thing left of the fruit salad was the salad dressing on the plate.

Conan wondered, is this person here to eat?

At this time, Yuantai also jumped onto the stool and saw that there was very little food left on the table. He cried out in disappointment.

"Ah! My delicious food!"

Ignoring Genta's disappointment, Conan jumped off the stool and said, "Forget it, let's leave quickly."

"If Mr. Clock finds out the food is missing, he'll definitely think we stole it..."

As soon as Mr. Clock was mentioned, Yuantai quickly jumped off the stool and didn't even dare to reach out to take the remaining two loaves of bread.

The two walked out of the kitchen, and Conan asked again: "By the way, where did Mitsuhiko go?"

Yuantai thought for a moment, "He seemed to have said that he wanted to go to the East Pavilion to take a look..."

"East Pavilion?"

Conan was puzzled for a moment, then he remembered that the East Pavilion was the only one of the pavilions that lacked maintenance. With Mitsuhiko's elementary school thinking, it was normal for him to suspect that there was treasure hidden there.

However, in Conan's judgment, everything must be based on the puzzle, and such an obvious clue is impossible.

But when he learned that Mitsuhiko went to the East Pavilion alone, he had to go look for him. It would be troublesome if there were any dangerous mechanisms or traps inside.

But when Conan thought about Yuriko Matsunaka still staying alone in the servant's room on the second floor, he became worried again.

Yuriko Matsunaka is the direct heir of the will. According to the previous speculation, if Mr. Zhong is also one of the heirs on the will, it might be disadvantageous to Yuriko Matsunaka.

Conan was worried about both sides, so he could only think of the "mother" of the Junior Detective Team, Haibara Ai.

"Let's go find Huibara first."

……

Conan and Genta came to the toilet on the other side of the first floor. Since it was a public toilet for servants and staff, the toilets were divided into men's and women's.

"Haibara, are you in there?" Conan stood at the door of the women's restroom and shouted inside.

However, there was complete silence inside and no one answered.

"Grey Yuan!"

Still no one answered in the bathroom.

Having a bad feeling in his heart, Conan lost his patience and walked straight into the women's restroom.

This bold move startled Yuanta, and he blushed to dissuade him, "Conan, that's the women's restroom..."

But Conan didn't care about these taboos. There was nothing to see in the child's body, so he pushed open the door of the first toilet cubicle.

No one was inside.

The second door, still no one.

The third door...

I pushed all the way to the last door, but didn't see anyone.

Obviously, Haibara Ai and Ayumi also acted on their own.

Realizing this, Conan stamped his feet in anger.

“There’s really no one who can make us feel at ease!”

……

Outside the North Hall, a figure squatted behind the grass, calming his breath a little.

This person is Qin Zhibo.

Ten minutes ago, Qin Zhibo sneaked into the North Hall to look for food and happened to find the leftover food from the Junior Detective League's dinner in the kitchen.

But just when they were about to finish eating, Yuan Tai suddenly appeared at the kitchen door, forcing Qin Zhibo to leave quickly.

Although he knows the Junior Detective Team, Qin Zhibo cannot reveal his identity now.

Because once Mr. Clock finds out that I am here, my next plan may be exposed.

Qin Zhibo's plan is to use the fake fragments of Vermouth to exchange for the real fragments of Yin Shichuan Gangsan.

Although I don't know how to use the Panester fragments specifically, since Mr. Clock asked me to take the fake fragments, he must have set a trap for me in this way.

In this case, I just need to switch the real fragments with the fake ones, and then I can set a trap for it.

Mr. Clock would never have thought that through his transactions with both Vermouth and the boss, he would obtain information about the real and fake fragments at the same time.

This uncertainty in humans is precisely the unique charm of humans, which an alien creature can never guess.

As for the method of exchanging the fragments, just place the fake fragment of Vermouth in the base of the Angel of the South, and then wait for Conan to solve the puzzle successfully by himself, and Mr. Clock will naturally get what he thinks he has got.

Therefore, before Mr. Clock obtains the fragment and leaves, he must not be allowed to discover his presence, otherwise he will definitely be on high alert.

For this purpose, Qin Zhibo has sent Shui Lai Yang Meng Piao to keep an eye on Mr. Clock.

Mr. Clock is currently on the fourth floor of the North Building and seems to be in a dormant state. This is a good time to take action.

There is no time to enter the Southern Angel Base like during the day.

Because according to the puzzle, the high voltage electricity there will only disappear at 12 noon and the mechanism can be opened.

But if you do the opposite and enter from the underground maze exit of the East Hall, there should be a way to return to the platform in the pedestal and put the fake fragments into the glass bottle.

Qin Zhibo planned what to do next and started moving towards the East Pavilion.

But as soon as he stood up and moved, he realized that there was something in his hand.

When I looked down, I realized that when I ran away from the kitchen just now, I was so anxious that I forgot to put the knife back.

Then just keep it with you for now.

Table Knife +1

……

Qin Zhibo moved carefully among the bushes in the courtyard.

Although he knew there was no one on guard at the lighthouse, he still subconsciously avoided the light of the searchlight.

It's purely psychological.

Just as I was passing by the Angel Base of the Northern Angel, I unexpectedly saw two female members of the Junior Detective League.

I saw Haibara Ai and Ayumi circling the wall of the huge base under the Angel of the North, groping forward with their hands.

The two girls did not notice Qin Zhibo hiding in the bushes not far away, and were still groping and talking.

"Xiao Ai, let me ask you, how can an angel fall from the sky?"

“I’m just looking for a way now…”

Haibara Ai responded softly, still groping forward along the wall.

But in the eyes of Qin Zhibo who was behind, the base of the wall that the two women were groping for, like the base of the Southern Angel, had investigation points.

There is also high voltage electricity on it.

If two children touch it, they will be electrocuted to death or disabled.

Seeing that the two girls were about to touch the power switch, Qin Zhibo was in a hurry and did not have time to use the flash gun to remind them. He directly pulled out the dinner knife in his arms and threw it at the wall next to the two girls.

Table knife-1

On the base, Aido Haibara's sixth sense triggered his eyes and he shrank back. He turned around suddenly and saw a silver weapon flying towards him.

"careful!"

Haibara Ai reacted quickly and pounced on Ayumi behind her.

But the sharp weapon was not thrown at them at all. It collided with the wall and instantly triggered a blue electric current.

Nourishes—

A high-voltage power grid appeared in front of Haibara Ai, and she realized that the wall ahead was electrified.

Seeing that Haibara Ai understood the trap here, Qin Zhibo didn't stop and quickly turned around and ran away.

When Huibara Ai heard the noise, her ears trembled and she quickly stood up to chase after him, but the man had already disappeared behind the lights.

Ai Haibara looked around, with cold sweat on her temples, and realized that this place was not as safe as it seemed.
