The cold and moist air penetrated into the nose.
Everywhere you look, the scenery is shrouded in cloud-like mist, and the mist follows the rhythm of the wind, like ocean waves, rushing towards the deepest part of the cliff side one after another.
Conan turned on the watch-shaped flashlight, illuminating the wet ground.
"Brother Yaoichi, let's go to the back of the villa and take a look."
He felt that as the wise one among the four, he had the responsibility and obligation to remind this young student who was "unacquainted with the world" to prevent him from being in danger because of his curiosity.
"Um."
The goals were the same for the time being, Ye Gengji just nodded slightly and walked towards the back of the villa.
Look up at the window that shines brightly.
It was still the same one they saw when they came.
The lights are still on but the person is missing? Or maybe there was no one in that room from the beginning...
Although it is strange, compared to the weird things I have encountered since arriving here, it does not feel too surprising emotionally.
"Huh? There really is a road here."
Conan's voice came from his feet again.
Ye Gengyi did not look at the big head that was half hidden in the mist, but instead focused on a slope extending behind the weeds.
It was basically the same as he expected.
As expected, the road leading to this villa was not just the one they took when they came.
At this time, the dark clouds overhead had reached the tops of the trees.
I don't know if it's because it's about to rain, but the air has become a lot thicker.
Ye Gengyi casually wiped away the crystal water droplets condensed on his eyebrows. He didn't explore the forest, which was completely devoid of green and was filled with darkness. He turned around and walked towards the high tower paved with gravel paths.
Hey, the beam of the flashlight can't shine too far in this environment... Seeing this, Conan hurriedly followed up: "Brother Yaoichi, walk slower."
Ye Gengyi took over the control of the conversation and asked: "Children, do you think the missing gentleman in this villa is really the 'Mr. Yamanaka' that the Maori detective is looking for?"
From the mountain ring road to the gas station to this villa.
Along the way, they only talked about insignificant topics.
If the content needs to be kept secret, then this journey will not take a stranger like him. Therefore, there is only one possibility left, and that is that Conan asked Mouri Kogoro about the client in advance.
"Well……"
Conan hesitated for a moment and replied helplessly: "I can't be 100% sure before I meet the person, because my uncle accidentally burned the note paper with the client's information written on it..."
"Burned?"
Ye Geng paused... This was a possibility that he had never imagined.
In other words, the reason why we didn't talk about the client along the way was because the tool man felt that talking about it in front of strangers would be... embarrassing?
So, my previous guess that Kogoro Mouri couldn't see the road signs clearly in the foggy weather and was unfamiliar with the route was also wrong?
"Since it's written on paper, you won't have no impression at all, right?" Ye Gengyi asked... This is why he didn't speculate in this direction.
"Uh... uncle was watching the horse racing at that time..." Conan looked embarrassed.
In other words, the known information is completely equal to zero...
Gan... Although I didn't plan to count on them completely, and I was mentally prepared in advance, where did this pair of gods of death and plague bring me?
Ye Gengyi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "You go back to the villa first, I'll take a walk around the area, and then I'll find you."
"It doesn't matter to me. When two people encounter something together, they can take care of each other."
Conan scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Since the young student did not directly recognize the sleeping Kogoro when they met on the ring road, Conan only thought that Ye Gengyi had already acquiesced that Mouri Kogoro was unreliable after listening to his previous narrative. The detective who left the child in his own care.
"Aren't you worried that they will be in danger?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"No, uncle and Sister Xiaolan are both very powerful." Conan comforted, "Besides, our luck isn't that bad, right?"
Where are you going? How could a dead god of death have the nerve to talk about luck with me?
Ye Gengyi wanted to kick this kid away, but considering that the situation was still unclear, he suppressed this idea for the time being.
Hmm... I have to admit that when two people act together in an unfamiliar environment, they can indeed play a role in taking care of each other. Moreover, the little detective has props and is not a useless drag bottle. However, relatively speaking, many of his own methods are also useful. It cannot be used blatantly.
In fact, another reason why Ye Gengyi wanted to act alone was to unlock the 'makeover card' to appropriately relieve the pressure on his nerves, but then he thought about it...
If a person goes into the tower to explore, in order to monitor the surrounding environment in an all-round way, the number of nano-robots and wide-angle cameras will also increase. One plus and one minus cannot be said to be a real relief, so there is no need to waste time anymore. .
The two of them walked on the gravel path.
If you look carefully, you can also find groups of fences made of wood and iron blocks among the dense weeds on the left and right sides.
Although these items have long since rotted and rusted, it is not difficult to tell that this place must have been a flower garden before.
The night wind kept blowing, making the night even colder.
The beam of the flashlight shone on the flowing mist, and his vision became increasingly hazy.
Ye Gengyi did not hesitate and attached the nanorobot to the electric shock glove. After changing its pattern and style, he reached out and pushed open the door of the black tower.
Although the door was unlocked, the hinges used to connect the door panel to the door frame were rusty.
Crunch——
With a harsh friction sound, the crack in the door slowly opened, revealing a darker and deeper space.
No flying dust...
Of course, what Ye Geng was referring to was not the dust that was saturated after absorbing the mist, but the dust that accumulated in the cracks of this old door.
Assuming that this is a door panel that has been in disrepair for a long time, similar powder will more or less fall off under the vibration just now.
Based on a simple judgment, this situation could only be because someone often entered and exited the tower, but until just now, he had not heard any similar sound of opening the door.
Is the villa soundproofed very well?
There are factors in this aspect, but if you think about it as a character, since the other party doesn't care whether his voice is heard by others, then why hasn't he shown up until now?
Four possibilities...
First, the way you open the door is wrong.
Second, the figure seen before is still in the tower.
Third, if no one can be found, it means there is a secret passage in the tower...
Fourth, what I saw in the tower before was the drunk man.
