With his thoughts spinning, Ye Geng stepped into the tower.
Hey, this person is too brave... Conan felt ashamed and followed closely.
He had to admit that at that moment, he was frightened by the sound of the tower door opening.
Take a step inside the building.
Without the interference of dense fog, the effectiveness of the flashlight skyrocketed.
Looking around.
The windowless first floor of the tower feels like a storage room for stacking debris.
Several shelves close to the wall were filled with cardboard boxes, and there were many pieces of glass scattered on the ground near the corner. Because they were so completely broken, it was obviously impossible to restore their original appearance by visual inspection alone.
Conan twitched his nose and sniffed the air hard. I actually smelled alcohol and disinfectant.
Sure enough there is a problem.
And the wooden floor under my feet, it feels like new...
He moved the flashlight beam around, trying to get a good look at the tower's traces.
As a result, when his eyes fell on the side of the stairs, he was speechless.
I saw that the young student had already walked up nearly a third of the stairs. If he hadn't observed quickly enough, he might not be able to see anyone by now.
"Brother Haruka, wait for me!" Conan trotted to catch up.
"oh……"
Ye Gengyi responded casually.
Of course he was waiting, otherwise he would have gone up to the second floor by now. The reason why he checked the stairs first was mainly to confirm whether there were prying eyes or possible traps above.
However, his attitude was directly misunderstood by Conan.
A certain detective kid silently complained, "Why do these people like to ignore children so much?" and then stepped on the spiral staircase.
Judging from the circumstances, he had no hope of finding the missing master in this place.
But now that I’m here, I still need to investigate...
With this mentality.
Conan also followed Ye Gengyi, stepping on the slightly creaking stairs and walking up step by step.
Not surprisingly, this tower and that weird villa were built a long time ago.
Otherwise, the materials would not be wood blocks and stone bricks, but more modern reinforced concrete.
But based on this guess, someone must have maintained this building regularly, otherwise the wooden steps under your feet would not be so strong.
So, could that door panel with too much contrast serve as an early warning?
Ye Gengyi didn't think too deeply, and mainly focused on dealing with emergencies.
However, what was unexpected was that until the two of them reached the end of the stairs, nothing happened.
"Huh? It seems like you can see the front of the villa from here."
Conan stood in front of the window and gave out prompts out of habit.
Although Ye Gengyi didn't know what this kid was telling this passerby to do, he still set his sights over there.
After a simple investigation, no trigger mechanism was found on the top floor of the tower, but... there were no generators or signal base stations as he thought at first.
strangeness……
Since there is nothing here, what is the reason for the person I saw before to stand here and spy on them?
Ye Gengyi tried to look further in the direction, but he soon came to the conclusion that in the current environment, unless sensors or other equipment that could provide warnings were placed at the corresponding intersections in advance, it would be impossible to stand in You can't see anyone going up the mountain here at all.
coincide? Or...that old man at the gas station...
"Ah, brother Yaoyi, look, the shape of the top of the tower is different from what we saw outside."
Suddenly, Conan's voice brought him back to his thoughts.
The beam of the flashlight shines on the top of the building, dispelling the darkness and revealing a fairly flat ceiling.
Ye Gengyi visually measured the height of the ceiling based on the position of the window, and instantly came to the conclusion that there was a mezzanine above.
But soon his brows furrowed.
No, those are rocks.
If you want to install a mezzanine on the ceiling, you should adopt a light and strong design. If it is not the floor, how can you use rocks that are difficult to splice and fix to bear objects...
If this thing were to be smashed down, each floor of the tower would be made of wooden beams, so it might not be able to withstand it...
squeak——
As soon as he had this idea, the tower door on the first floor made an unpleasant loud noise.
"not good!"
Conan was shocked. Although his preparedness for the sense of crisis was a few beats slower than Ye Gengyi's, if he couldn't guess that someone wanted to harm them at this moment, his reaction would be too slow.
"Brother Yaoichi, let's go quickly!"
He subconsciously prepared to rush down the stairs, but before he could finish raising his legs, his arm was grabbed by Ye Gengyi.
"Don't worry, if you go down now you might fall into a trap."
Ye Gengyi held Conan with one hand and rested on the window with the other. His eyes never moved away from the ceiling... Under his feet, there was still a column in the middle of the spiral staircase, but after reaching this floor, it was divided into two parts. 6. It becomes an umbrella-shaped load-bearing structure.
The moment the crisis struck, he was ready to leave from the window, but the rock did not fall...
So, if there is a trap, the conditions that trigger it are most likely on the stairs.
Although it is jokingly said that life will happen wherever Conan is, but is there something wrong with the minds of the people who live here? He actually killed them in such an insidious way without saying anything...
There was a coldness in Ye Geng's eyes. In the black palm sticking out of the window, a mechanical eye that was constantly rotating was looking down.
No one is there...
Could it be that after closing the tower door, he moved around to another location close to the tower body?
Ye Gengyi lowered his voice and said, "Use a flashlight and go look for any ropes nearby. Remember... don't touch things. I'm here to keep an eye on the stairs."
"Um……"
Conan nodded slightly.
He has a telescopic sling, so even if there is no rope on this level, it won't be a problem, but now is not the time to explain the props. After all, even if there is a rope, he still needs to find a fixed point.
Watch this detective kid leave with a flashlight.
Ye Gengyi casually threw a 'sub-throwable sensor' in the direction of the stairs. At the same time, the silver-white fluid in the palm of his hand that was sticking out of the window overflowed and condensed, and then it transformed into a dragonfly half the size of a palm, spreading its wings around the tower. Start flying.
Is there fog?
Then fly closer...
Is the propeller loud?
Then use the form of an insect...
Ye Gengyi wanted to take a look and see who the person who tried to kill him was.
