Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 569: The Pavilion of Angels (Clock)

Southern Angel, at 12:00 noon, a group of Conan rushed to the ground, and they did not encounter any dangerous facilities, and the clock just followed silently.

After a stone brick on the base of the Angel Pillar was pushed in, a secret door suddenly opened, and inside was a large and wide space, only a glass bottle was placed on the ground in the center, and a beam of light leaked from above directly illuminated it. On the bottle, a black crystal can be seen inside the bottle.

Conan took the lead into the secret room, but failed to pick up the glass bottle. The bottle seemed to be fixed on the ground, so he had to unplug the stopper and take out the black crystal inside.

"Is this the treasure of the bull?" Yuan Tai stared at the pyramid-shaped black crystal.

"No," Conan looked at the crystal and said, "This should be the key to solve the next puzzle. The horns on the bull's head disappear, and the tail becomes a head, which means that the direction is reversed, facing the direction opposite to the noon, that is, north, the next one. The clue must be in the tower of the Angel of the North, Brother Kido..."

"Hurry up... get out!" Gao Cheng looked around with a stern look, and heard a faint sound of the mechanism running in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw the clock grabbing Yuriko Matsunaka and pulling it out.

Regardless of explaining to Conan, Gao Cheng hurriedly grabbed a few people and pushed them to the door. As time skipped 12 o'clock, the floor of the secret room suddenly collapsed from the middle, and a huge trap appeared.

"go out!"

Gao Cheng narrowly grabbed the fixed glass bottle, hugged Ayumi who failed to escape, and threw Conan forcefully towards the exit. Before the secret room was completely sealed, he let go and fell into the ground with Genta.

"Boom!"

As soon as the footsteps landed, Gao Licheng immediately turned on his watch and flashlight to check his surroundings, and found Yuantai lying on the stone floor without any movement beside him.

"Yuantai! Wake up, Yuantai!"

Gao Cheng checked Yuantai's condition and found that his breathing was calm and there was no serious problem: "Hurry up and wake up!"

Yuan Tai muttered in a daze: "Brother Chenghu...here's another eel rice..."

"No eel rice! I still want to eat it at this time!"

Gao Cheng carried Yuan Tai on his back with a stinky face, and looked up again with a flashlight.

The ground is not too high, maybe the mechanism was not designed for killing people, but it is impossible to go up from here.

But the tunnels here are very similar to those in the East Building.

The Southern Angel Underground also seems to be a maze.

In this case, you can go out through the heater in the east building. The question is whether the maze here is connected to the east building...

Outside the Southern Angel Tower, Conan stood silently in front of the re-closed entrance, still unable to recover from the sudden change.

"What should I do?" Ayumi who was finally sent out of the secret room by Gao Cheng sobbed, "Brother Kido and Genta..."

"Uncle Clock," Conan looked at Clockwork who saved Yuriko with a sullen face, "You knew the mechanism there from the beginning, right?"

"I'm sorry," said the clock facing everyone's eyes. "As the executor of the master's will, everything is done according to the rules. This institution is also part of the challenge..."

"Then why did you save Lily?"

"With this time to question, you might as well solve the puzzle quickly, or rescue Detective Kido and the others..."

The clock was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see its expression. When the atmosphere was frozen, the detective badges of Conan and the others suddenly rang.

"Kirodo?" Conan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out his detective badge, "Is it Shiro... Brother Kido? How are you doing?"

"This should be an underground labyrinth," Gao Cheng carried Yuantai on his back along the tunnel, "Yuantai and I will find a way out first, and we should be able to get out if we lead to the east hall. How is your situation?"

"We are all fine." Conan looked at the Xiao Ai who surrounded him. "We will enter the maze from the east hall later. Judging from the condition of the skeleton, the maze should be connected."

"I see."

Gao Cheng put away the detective badge, looked at Yuantai who was sleeping soundly on his back, and sighed with a wry smile.

The little fat man didn't sleep much last night, but now he is sleeping soundly, and he doesn't have to worry about being trapped in the underground maze.

Giving up the idea of ​​waking up Yuantai, Gao Cheng used the flashlight to take a panoramic view of the surrounding environment.

It is true that he has no sense of direction and has lost his way many times, but at the same time he is also a detective, and there is no way to get out of the maze.

After picking up a stone and making a record at the intersection, Gao Cheng continued to step into the next passage, because he did not lose his bearings when he fell into the trap, so the only thing he was sure of was that he was heading towards the east hall, so it would be considered a wrong path Lu is not completely clueless, and finally ends up with the skeleton.

The tunnel was extremely quiet, only the sound of Gao Cheng's footsteps and the sound of Yuan Tai talking in his sleep and drooling, and there were many side roads, and after a while they turned back to the original intersection.

Looking at the mark left by himself at the junction, Gao Cheng continued to explore the road without saying a word.

On the other side is Conan, who is not too worried about getting out of the maze, but cares most about the puzzles in this angel's pavilion.

Now it seems that Conan's analysis in the previous part should be correct, and the remaining clues are the angels in the north, but the sentence "the angel will descend from the sky and play the flute..." is a bit strange.

The Angel of the North, including other statues of angels, does not seem to have such a mechanism in the code.

"Brother Kido," Conan on the opposite side contacted again with the detective badge, "Did you hear anything just now?"

"No, you have already entered the maze?"

"Yes, we pulled a thread in from the exit, just like in the tale of the half-body tauren who borrowed a ball of thread to leave the maze... If we didn't hear the sound, it means that we still have a distance..."

"Conan, I don't need to worry here," Gao Cheng interrupted, "Time is running out, the most important thing now is to help Yuriko solve the puzzle..."

"Actually," Conan paused, "As I said before, the next clue to the puzzle is in the Northern Angel, but to open the Northern Angel Tower, we need to wait until midnight, which is midnight, but we will arrive at 9:00 in the evening. I can't think of what to do, there is a high-voltage current that puts thieves on the Tower of Angels in the north, and I can't get close until midnight...

"Besides, it's still a question of whether that Mr. Clock can be trusted."

"A clock?"

"Yes, he deliberately released the puzzle at nine o'clock in the evening, so that he would have to wait until noon the next day to open the south tower. Even if the challenger finds that the next clue is in the north tower, the fastest way to open it is Can wait until midnight that day..." Conan frowned, "No matter who comes to challenge, it is impossible to complete it within 24 hours..."

"But," Xiao Ai wondered, "What good is that for him? Even if all the challengers fail..."

"What if he is an heir after Yuriko?" Conan said in a deep voice, "If he wants to formally take the treasure as his own, it makes sense, I'm afraid the so-called protection is just to monitor us It's just getting in our way..."

"wrong."

Gao Cheng silently carried Genta on his back and went back to the intersection again, suddenly interrupting Conan's reasoning: "There is no reason for Isekawa Gozo not to have foreseen this situation, the rich man known as the bull must choose Mr. Zhong Is there any reason, neither will it be a completely irrelevant outsider, so as to prevent outsiders from stealing the treasure, but it will not be someone who can inherit the inheritance..."

Conan was stunned: "Brother Kido, what do you know?"

"When Mr. Clock found me, I was surprised. In fact, even without me, he should be able to find Yuriko, so his purpose should be to let me help Yuriko solve the mystery of the Angel Pavilion..."

Gao Cheng said calmly: "Mr. Zhong is related to Isekawa's family. This is not wrong. He is a relative of Isekawa, but he has no inheritance rights. He also gave up his original name and became a secretary. As the executor of the will, you will not be free until the riddle is solved..."

"Could it be..."

"Yes, that seems clear enough."

Gao Cheng stopped at the intersection.

"Being hated by Isekawa Gozo, and at the same time being a relative of Isekawa, he has no inheritance rights...and just now rescued Yuriko in the Tower of Angels in the South. The only person who meets these conditions is the one who elopes with Yuriko's mother."

Gao Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I checked specifically, and the body of Baihezi's father was not found back then. What is certain is that the car rushed out of the cliff and fell into the sea."

"Mr. Clock is Yuriko's father?" Ayumi and the others looked at the dazed Yuriko at the same time.

"This possibility is very high. No matter what, Isekawa Gozo will not choose the executor casually," Gao Cheng looked forward and said, "Okay, I seem to be able to hear your voices, let's go out first."
