Hearing this, Siruov Chinnikov looked at the password keyboard in awe: "So there were voice-controlled devices at the end of the 19th century?"
It doesn't seem right...
Kuroba Kaito was thoughtful.
Pu Siqinglan is at least 2 meters away from the password keyboard. If just saying "The Magician of the End of the Century" in Russian can trigger the mechanism, doesn't Mr. Xiyi not chat on weekdays?
If you accidentally trigger the keyword, just open and close like this... Isn't it tiring to switch it on?
A certain thief looked at Ye Gengyi. He suspected that his brother had done something, but there was no evidence.
This dark passage extending downward is connected to a row of spiral stone steps. The end cannot be seen when the flashlight is shining down.
"Shall we...go in?"
Gan Jiangyi's greed is back again, but this time he is obviously much more cautious.
"Of course it goes without saying, how could we give up halfway when we're all here?" A certain tool man walked away.
"Mr. Mori, let me do it..." Kuroba Kaito quickly raised his hand to stop him, and took the lead in stepping into the secret passage.
The others followed in single file.
Passing through this narrow staircase, the space in front of you becomes much wider. The top of the cave is about ten meters above the ground. On the walls on both sides of the road, large and small passages are arranged in an uneven manner, as if Like a maze.
General 1, who was at the end of the team, walked to a passage and shined a flashlight inside, as if he was looking for something, "There are so many passages here, should we search separately?"
"I suggest it's better not to do this."
Kuroba Kaito said seriously:
"Although everyone is eager to find another 'Egg of Memory', this is a secret passage designed by Mr. Xiyi after all. If the mechanism is accidentally triggered, everyone may be in danger."
"Hey, don't mess around." Mouri Kogoro also warned.
"I know..." Gan Jiang responded reluctantly.
After clarifying the interests, Kuroba Kaito continued to move in the direction just now. Not long after, an extremely strange sound suddenly came from the passage to their left. Due to the repeated echoes, it was impossible to distinguish it for a while. Know where the sound is coming from.
"Did you hear it?" Conan couldn't help but muttered, and at the same time turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
"Is it... Shi Kaobing?" Mouri Kogoro's words instantly made everyone's heartstrings tighten.
Without thinking, Conan held the flashlight tightly and ran towards the fork in the road.
Wait a minute, isn't Shi Kaobing right here...
Kuroba Kaito subconsciously looked back, only to see that Ye Gengyi, Pu Siqinglan and Gan Jiangyi were all gone.
Damn it, when exactly...
Seeing that Mouri Kogoro and Xiaolan had already run out to chase Conan, this momentary change left Kuroba Kaito no time to think carefully.
Brother, there should be no need to worry...
Having made up his mind, he turned around and said to Natsumi Kasaka, Kuranosuke Sawabe and Sirouf Chinnikov: "Let's go and take a look together!"
the other side,
Pu Siqinglan did not go far, but hid in the shadow of a certain passage to install a silencer. Gan Jiangyi followed her, and Ye Gengyi followed the two of them looking for opportunities.
"It's you..." Suddenly, Gan Jiang heard a startled voice, followed immediately by a scream and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Ye Gengyi didn't hesitate. He stepped directly into the passage next to him and disappeared into the shadows.
A pistol with a silencer and coated with matte material appeared. It was held in his hand, with the muzzle facing the passage in front of him.
Less than five seconds later, footsteps came from the road to his side. The beam of the flashlight hit the stone wall, but it still failed to illuminate the deeper darkness.
A dozen steps away, the intersection of darkness and light.
Pu Siqinglan had already put the pistol into her shoulder bag, and stepped on the ground with her high heels again, making a rhythmic clicking sound.
Just when she was thinking about what kind of panic expression she should use to appear in front of everyone, suddenly, a discordant tone was almost synchronized with the sound of her high heels landing.
Is it... a trigger? !
If you were an ordinary person, your first reaction after hearing an abnormal sound would usually be to turn your head and look.
However, at this time, no matter whether it is a flat throw to the left or right, don't waste time doing such meaningless actions.
Because, the effect he brings is, at best, it can only allow you to leave a message before you die...
Several years of career as a killer made Shi Kaobing's body react faster than the signals sent by her brain, and she instinctively turned to the side.
A bullet grazed the left side of her chest and landed on the stone wall on the opposite side. Before she could take a breath, the second bullet stably passed through her throat.
thump...
Pu Siqinglan sat on the ground holding her wound and tried her best to raise her head. Now she could see...
But the man in the shadow seemed unwilling to satisfy even this wish. After two shots, the passage over there fell into dead silence again.
"Who..." Pu Siqinglan struggled to say two words, but still couldn't wait for a response.
So this is what death feels like...
Her vision became increasingly blurry. The ruptured wound in her throat was squeezed by her palms, and some of the blood flowed backwards and overflowed from her mouth. It looked both oozing... and a little pitiful.
In her perception, time is very slow and pain is very long...
A few seconds later, Ye Gengyi walked out of the shadows with slow steps.
"Sorry, I was just changing clothes..." Ye Gengyi's voice was still calm when he spoke.
But, on this occasion...
"It's you...you..."
"Ha..." Ye Gengyi's calm laughter was creepy: "What? Have you never thought that you would be killed?"
Pu Siqinglan didn't speak, just looked up at Ye Gengyi, as if she was using her last strength in her life to remember him.
"Really, it makes me seem like a bad person..." Looking at this scene, Ye Gengyi muttered dissatisfied: "There is no way, everyone has a hard life, even if you were on the overpass that night, I did that to a 17-year-old teenager, but my desire to kill you is still not strong..."
Pu Siqinglan's expression froze, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. When even breathing was a luxury, her survival instinct had made it impossible for her to utter a word.
"Last night on the cruise ship, when you were taking a rest, you took a secret photo of me... No, it should be a photo of all of us, right?"
Ye Gengyi shrugged, "I'm too lazy to check what the purpose is. However, the photos being circulated from the hands of mercenaries like you still have a great impact on me. Although I have deleted them, I will wait for them." It will only be more troublesome when you find out, so...in order not to cause trouble to me, please just die."
