"If you find the treasure in advance, you can't complete the task on the event card." Ye Gengyi pondered.
About half an hour ago, that is when everyone gave up looking for Conan and returned to the castle.
Ye Gengyi came to the living room and pushed away the portrait of the previous master of the castle.
There is a small space behind the portrait, which can be seen as an upward passage. The width of the four walls is barely enough to accommodate two ordinary adults standing.
On the wall facing the entrance, there is an iron U-shaped ladder welded on it, with a thick layer of dust accumulated on it. It is obvious that this place has not been used for a long time.
Ye Gengyi pulled up the escalator, then took out his improved mobile phone and raised it above his head, "Xiao Bai, turn on the ultrasound mode."
[Okay, sir. 】
Several sounds that could not be caught by the human ear were emitted from the speaker of the mobile phone, and then, a three-dimensional figure of this channel appeared on Ye Gengyi's retina.
[Sir, the speaker is damaged and the channel data is being detected...]
"Well, although the direction of sound conduction is fixed and the trouble of changing mobile phones is saved, the loss of the speakers cannot be solved." Ye Gengyi shrugged and muttered to himself.
He only made three of those things and carried them with him, and the phone's power was limited, so it could only be used in this sealed environment.
[Sir, after inspection, the volume of the passage is about 23.83 cubic meters and the height is about 37.24 meters. There are slight cracks on the surface of the inner stone wall of the building. The U-shaped escalator enters the stone wall. There is no estimate of the depth. It is impossible to estimate the maximum weight it can bear in kilograms. Comprehensive assessment : Sub-safe; Recommendation: Be careful when climbing. 】
"Yeah, I understand." Ye Geng nodded.
There was obviously only one path, and he knew that if he wanted to complete the event card and obtain the mission reward, he had to go up there once.
In fact, the danger was only relative to ordinary people. Except for the escalator in front of him, the three sides of the passage were stone walls. Although it was difficult to move his body, falling down like this was still quite difficult given his skill.
After all, this is a wealthy family, so the escalator's stability is somewhat guaranteed.
After confirming the safety, Ye Geng accelerated his climbing speed. Within a few dozen seconds, he heard the slight sound of rain coming from above.
Ye Geng raised his head and saw a door.
The sound of rain must have come through the gap.
There is a U-shaped handle on the left side of the door, and there is a door bolt next to it. Ye Geng reached out to hold the handle, used his strength to gently pull it, and stood firmly on the stone platform before opening the door. Pull the bolt open.
The creaking sound of the hinges seems to tell the long time.
A refreshing chill hit his face through the gap in the door. Ye Geng took two steps forward and stuck his head out.
This is undoubtedly the highest point that can be climbed in the entire castle.
Looking around, the scenery inside and outside the castle is unobstructed, and the chessboard in the courtyard looks particularly small at this time.
Because the sky is darker, it is not easy to see clearly from farther away.
"Sure enough, it's better to come during the day..."
Ye Geng murmured and did not close the door. Instead, he used the faint light to turn and look at the wall next to him, where there was a line of text:
[I want to give this castle and scenery to the first person to arrive. 】
"Oh, this is really hypocritical. If I take this to ask for the castle, they will call the police directly..."
Ye Gengyi said, patted the dust on his palms, took out his mobile phone and took two commemorative photos, closed the door and climbed down the U-shaped ladder again.
The percentage of the progress bar has increased to 66%.
Ye Gengyi looked at the event card and expressed helplessness at the severity of the event card.
The mission requirement was obviously to find the 'treasure' that three generations of the Mamiya family had been looking for, but when he thought about it more carefully, he found that this 'treasure' was in quotation marks...
Just like the ancients could call it 'Tongjia' when they wrote the wrong characters, this 'treasure' probably refers to more than just castles and scenery...
Time returns to the present again.
After putting the three children on the bed, one large and one small returned to the corridor again.
Ye Gengyi left the nanorobot at the entrance of the secret passage without issuing a warning.
There is only one reason, and that is Masuyo Mamiya, who saw the traces he left at the entrance of the secret passage and followed him in depth.
Although the 'tail' produced in a tight schedule was relatively rough, for a person with no investigative experience, the preconceptions could already give her the illusion that the person she wanted to find was still in the secret passage.
This gave Ye Gengyi time to think.
It is easy to catch Masuyo Mamiya directly, but he must first find out whether the remaining 33% of progress refers to this.
"Hey...why do you carry sleeping pills with you?"
Haiyuan Ai walked on the window side of the corridor, keeping a relatively safe distance from Ye Gengyi.
"I picked it up by chance." Ye Gengyi responded casually.
fraud!
Hui Yuan Ai gritted his teeth.
There was another moment of silence.
Feeling the sharp eyes beside him, Ye Geng turned his head and said, "What's wrong?"
"In order to prevent the children from following you, you picked up the sleeping pills. What a coincidence!" Hui Yuan Ai darkened his face and worsened his nasal voice as he said, "I just don't know if it's a place where sleeping pills can be picked up." It happens to be in this castle, right?”
"Oh? You also know..."
Ye Gengyi's mind was obviously not on this, and he said casually: "There are a lot of them in Mamiya Masashiro's room. I picked one with a milder effect and borrowed it for use."
"Mamiya...Zengdai?" Haiyuan Ai was completely stunned when he heard this.
Wait... Go pick it up in the old lady's room?
Are you sure this isn't stealing?
Also, she clearly remembered that the old lady only showed up when they first arrived at the castle and had dinner together, and during that time, Ye Gengyi was also present...
So, when exactly did this guy sneak into Masuyo Mamiya's room and 'pick up' sleeping pills?
Hiss...hoo...
Haihara Ai took a deep breath again.
Somehow, although the cold aura on Ye Gengyi's body was still there, she didn't seem as scared as she was at the beginning.
But whether it was due to Ye Gengyi's attitude or whether he was used to it is unknown for the time being.
"Don't think you can hide it by pretending to be stupid!" Haiyuan Ai asked with a solemn face: "If the medicine was taken from Mamiya Masashiro's room, how could you not be discovered by the other party?"
"Is it difficult?" Ye Gengyi asked strangely: "There is no one in the room. Most elderly people will have this kind of trouble. I just went to get a bottle of sleeping pills. It doesn't take too long."
Hui Yuan Ai was no longer bothered to worry about the wording of picking up and taking, and said angrily: "So I just said, how could that old lady with handicapped legs and feet not be in the room..."
"This is not simple, because she is the murderer who kidnapped the doctor and the problem kid." Ye Gengyi said.
