Although Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta were very confused, seeing Conan's expression which was either due to pain or just too eager, they hurried to find the owner of the house to open the door.
"Are you going to open it again? Haven't you already seen it? There's nothing inside at all?"
The owner of the house muttered and took out the key.
There was an obvious emptiness in the darkness.
Sure enough, the situation in the warehouse was the same as before.
Conan had a question mark on his head.
Faced with everyone's doubts, he explained in a daze:
"I, I clearly saw...a warehouse full of treasures..."
"But, it's not available anywhere."
Haihara Ai turned on the watch-shaped flashlight and scanned the room.
When the three children ran to the owner to get the keys, she sent an email to Ye Gengyi about the situation.
However, I only got a reply of "Look again".
"There must be a mechanism in the warehouse that can make those treasures disappear and appear..."
Conan lay on the ground and searched for a while, then looked up at the ceiling and murmured in a low voice: "Where is it?"
Corner of the warehouse.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta gathered together, whispering.
"No one got the email?"
"Well, Heiji-nii is really slow at typing."
"Is it too difficult and he hasn't figured out the answer?"
"There's nothing we can do." Mitsuhiko sighed: "Then we'll have to rely on ourselves."
Hearing this, Ayumi and Genta lowered their heads without enthusiasm.
Here Conan noticed the detective armband on the ground and the circle of lines marked with pencil, and said softly:
"Is this...did you put it here?"
He looked at the three children.
"ah……"
The three children came over feeling guilty.
"I see, this means that the floor has not slid or tilted..."
After Hui Yuan Ai finished speaking, he praised: "You guys are pretty good at it."
"It's okay..."
Genta and Ayumi retrieved their detective armbands from the floor.
Mitsuhiko ran to the corner between the wall and the ground, secretly took out his cell phone and prepared to urge Hattori Heiji again. However, when the flashlight beam shone through, he discovered that his detective armband was missing...
He turned around and shouted:
"Hey! Come here quickly, there is indeed a problem with this warehouse!"
"What happened?"
Several people rushed over.
Listen to Mitsuhiko explain the situation.
Haiyuan Ai quickly edited the email and sent it out, deliberately putting on a solemn expression, stalling for time and saying:
"So...if the floor or ceiling hadn't moved and the armband fell into the gap, it would have been taken away by someone in the warehouse."
"You, you said someone..."
"Could it be..."
"monster?!"
The three children were frightened.
"How can it be……"
Conan analyzed it from a scientific perspective:
"One thing that is certain at present is that there is definitely a magical mechanism in the warehouse that can freely store and store treasures in a short period of time."
Hui Yuan Ai shrugged and was about to say something.
The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated several times.
However, it was not an email from Ye Gengyi, but a phone call from him.
Hui Yuan Ai walked a few steps away and picked up: "Hello?"
Ye Geng said concisely: "Judging from the layout of the building, the trap will not be set up in the corner. The number of people who triggered the trap is unknown. Now is not the time to teach the little detective a lesson. Go tell him that the treasure is on the ceiling, and then look for it casually." Take the three children to the yard for a reason and let Conan go find the owner of the house to call the police. Don’t be too nervous, I’m nearby.”
Hui Yuan Ai was startled, controlled her emotions, and lowered her voice: "Okay... I understand."
With that said, she walked quickly to Conan, concealing the fact that she originally wanted to find Brother Gengyi to teach him a lesson, and only repeated the reminder on the phone like this.
A certain detective boy was still observing the exaggerated abacus on the wall of the warehouse. After listening to Haihara Ai's words, he quickly understood the key.
That's right...the mechanism cannot be fully automatic.
Therefore, either there is someone hiding in the secret compartment of the warehouse, or the owner of the house thinks that they are children and is deliberately using the mechanism to create the legend of the 'Monster Warehouse' to cover up the true purpose of the treasures.
...However, before I came in, I only found one person's shoe prints on the floor. There could only be one person in the warehouse at most.
…
This way.
Ye Gengyi stood under the tree in the yard and looked at the door of the warehouse.
After a while, I saw Little Radar pushing and dragging three children out of the warehouse, and Conan also ran to the old man who looked about 60 years old and said something.
Hmm... There was surprise in the expression, but there was no panic after being exposed and the ferocity of wanting to kill and silence...
The target is children, so there is no need to act.
It seems that he does not know the internal structure of this warehouse.
Ye Gengyi understood in his heart, adjusted his breathing, and glanced coldly at the back of a certain figure with brown hair.
Haihara Ai was still chatting casually with the three children who had lost their sideline assistance, and her heart suddenly sank when she felt the crisis.
Then, she turned her head to look at the source of the creepiness and saw Ye Gengyi standing under the tree.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
…
Less than 10 minutes.
The Metropolitan Police Department's most powerful investigation section arrived at the scene.
After seeing a familiar group of people, the leader of the team, Mumu Shisan, knew that there was no mention of murder at the wiring desk, but as soon as he entered the warehouse, he instinctively started looking for the body.
"Brother Gengyi, what is the case this time?"
I was passing by... Ye Geng saw Mu Mu Shisan asking this, and he deliberately planned to find any reason to take Hui Yuan Ai back directly.
but……
When I thought of Hattori Heiji who had received a fat beating for no reason, and the other party's purpose of following these five 'little devils'.
He can only continue here.
after all……
At that time, I thought the other party was 'Bourbon'... I was not going to do it lightly.
When it is inconvenient to call the police, track and create accidental encounters, we can only adopt this passive method and wait for news.
"There is a problem with the height difference in this warehouse. Someone may be hiding on the ceiling."
Ye Gengyi walked to the wall with the abacus and knocked on the wall with his fingers.
Conan didn't care about hiding clues. He knew that Ye Gengyi was present. If he didn't say anything now, he would have no chance to say it. He immediately said: "Brother Gengyi, there are traces of someone rubbing the dust on the abacus..."
Three...water?
Ye Geng made a soft 'hmm' sound, and through the shapes, he quickly saw the Chinese characters that could be filled in through the gaps on the abacus by moving the beads.
Could it be that...this warehouse is another product of Sansui Kichiemon?
That old boy is not a calm master, and there might be another trap set up here.
