Chapter 44 Clues in the Secret Path
"Grandma, why are you still out so late at night?" the noble man said to the elder lady sitting in the wheelchair.
The eldest lady's eyes were a little panicked, but she couldn't see clearly in the dark environment: "My daughter hasn't come back yet, I have to wait for her here."
The noble man said helplessly: "Grandma, leave these matters to us. You go back to rest quickly and wait for my mother in the room."
With that said, the noble man pushed the eldest lady in a wheelchair and left.
Guangyou let go of his hand covering Bumi's mouth and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the noble man arrived in time, otherwise it would have been a bit difficult to deal with."
"However, there seems to be something wrong with this noble man." Guangyou said, rubbing his chin.
After hearing this, Xiao Ai asked with some confusion: "What's wrong with him?"
Guangyou shook his head: "I can't explain clearly, but something is wrong. His mother has passed away and she still stays in this castle. It doesn't make sense to give up his bright future of studying abroad for an illusory treasure. And I remember
He has good grades!"
Guangyou touched his head: "Forget it, let's take a look step by step. Let's go to that room first."
Arriving at the room where Conan was missing during the day, Xiao Ai walked towards the bookshelf: "Guangyou, put the chair under the clock."
Xiao Ai put the book on the chair, climbed up, fiddled with the clock, and the wall turned over!
The flip was a bit sudden, the chair fell over, and Xiao Ai fell down. However, what Xiao Ai didn't expect was that the fall to the ground was different from what she expected.
She opened her eyes and saw Guangyou's eyes like the starry sky. When she saw herself falling into Guangyou's arms, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of blush also appeared on her face, but fortunately, there was no one there.
See.
Xiao Ai broke away from Guangyou's arms and stood on the ground, moving as usual.
Ayumi ran to Xiao Ai's side, leaned into Xiao Ai's ear and said, "Just now Mr. Guangyou saw you fall down, Ai-chan, and ran straight over. Do you like Mr. Guangyou?"
Xiao Ai's face became even more rosy, and she said in a voice that only two people could hear: "How is that possible!"
But she didn't notice that she didn't have much confidence in saying this.
Guangyou approached the secret passage and smelled it: "It smells like Conan!"
Xiao Ai took a deep breath to calm down her mood.
Xiao Ai took Bumi into the secret passage. Looking at the dark and winter environment around her, Bumi couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Xiao Ai understood Bumi's mood, patted Bumi on the back, and comforted Bumi: "Don't worry, there is a boy here, and Guangyou will definitely protect such a cute girl like Bumi.
Yes."
Ayumi asked with some expectation: "Really? Guangyou-kun."
Guangyou patted his chest: "That's for sure, I will definitely protect you two!"
Xiao Ai pretended not to hear what Guangyou said: "Look ahead and look for that Conan guy."
Guangyou nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly. The dark passage in front of him gradually became able to see the outline of objects clearly.
Being able to quickly adapt to the night and allowing your eyes to see at night is a necessary skill. In fact, it sounds difficult to say, but in fact it is just like that.
When Guangyou was training in his previous organization, the instructor who trained him once said: "Being able to see at night is difficult to express in words. Everyone has different adaptability. The only thing that can help you get into the state faster is
The key is to integrate yourself into the surrounding environment! Whether it’s the ability to see at night or sneaking, integrating into the environment is something you must work hard to connect with!”
Guangyou quickly entered this state. Although you won't see things the same as during the day, it still allows you to see a lot in a dark environment.
In the dark secret passage, there is a long staircase that points downwards. In this environment, the usually ordinary staircase adds a touch of terror.
Ayumi held Xiao Ai's hand and followed Guangyou.
Guangyou stopped and said, "Don't I remember that the doctor gave you a watch-type flashlight? Mine is still in the office, where is yours?"
Xiao Ai shook his head: "Mine is in the room."
Ayumi tapped her palm: "Yes! I brought it!"
Guangyou stopped where he was and waited for Ayumi to turn on the flashlight. Although he could see a lot with night vision, having light was better than having no light at all.
Ayumi turned her watch, but unfortunately there was no response. Bumi patted her watch twice in anger. The watch flickered weakly under Bumi's attack, and then went out again.
Ayumi scratched her head: "It seems, it seems like the battery is out, hehehe..."
Guangyou slapped his forehead: "Forget it, keep walking forward."
Following the long stairs, the three of them slowly approached the bottom of the stairs.
Suddenly, Guangyou saw a trace of dark red on the ground. He hurriedly squatted down next to the trace, dipped some saliva in it, wiped it on, then put it next to his nose and smelled it.
"The taste of blood." Guangyou said in a stern tone.
Xiao Ai knelt down and looked at the blood stain and said, "It looks like this blood stain was left not long ago. It should be the blood of that guy Conan."
When Ayumi heard that Conan was bleeding, she looked very worried.
Guangyou looked around: "Huh? What is that?"
Guangyou saw what seemed to be carved marks on the first staircase. In the dark secret passage, Guangyou could not see clearly what was written on it, so he touched it with his hand: "That person now replaces my identity and wants to
Robbing the castle’s treasure...is the treasure you want to write about behind it?”
"The treasure is over, which means that I can no longer write. Maybe that person died here."
Guangyou looked at the two people and said.
Ayumi was still a little girl. When she heard that people had died where she was, her eyes showed fear.
Xiao Ai picked up something from the ground: "Doctor's glasses."
Ayumi thought of Conan: "So, Doctor..."
Guangyou tapped his forehead in distress: "I'm not good at this kind of thing. I've always been camping just to have some peace of mind. Conan really died wherever he went."
Guangyou muttered the last sentence in a small voice.
"crunch"
A ray of light shone into the secret passage. Guangyou raised his head and found that Xiao Ai had opened a secret door on the wall.
The three of them walked out. Xiao Ai looked around: "This is the place where the doctor disappeared just now."
The secret door just now was closed after the three people walked out. Ayumi tried to push it: "Guangyou-kun, the door can't be opened!"
"The phone line has been cut." Xiao Ai's voice reached the ears of Guangyou and Bumi.
Guangyou's head was about to explode at this time: "Damn it! Forget it, let's go back and enter the secret passage again, and then look for Conan and the doctor. It seemed that there was still somewhere we could go."
Unfortunately, things were not as expected. The door that could be opened just now has been locked.
Guangyou let out a long sigh: "Someone was following us just now, but I am sure that that person had not entered before we came out of the secret passage. Otherwise, I would have felt it. This person is probably the old lady."
