the other side.
Kuroba Kaito pushed the dining cart and arrived at the restaurant on the 17th floor smoothly.
Converting the land of the villa into such a high-rise hotel can only operate smoothly if capital and the government work together...
He thought of a certain old man's emotion in his mind, and he quite agreed with it at this time.
After all, if the building was only the size of a villa, he would have finished exploring it by now.
Make sure there are no surveillance probes on this floor.
After Kuroba Kaito waited for most people to enter the restaurant, he immediately walked out of the side door and came to the corridor where silence was restored again.
There is no carpet on the floor.
Therefore, you can only keep your pace when walking.
It was precisely because of this that Kuroba Kaito suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corner in front.
Really, I hate people who don’t eat on time the most...
He cursed, took out the wire, turned around and opened a room marked as a conference room on the door plate.
There was no one in the room.
But after Kuroba Kaito saw clearly the scene inside, he couldn't help but be shocked.
So spacious...
The walls and ceiling are painted bright white.
Facing the front of the hall, there is a slightly low door. Judging from its position, it seems to be connected to the corridor outside.
But Kuroba Kaito knew that was not the case at all, because he came from that direction.
Secret passages?
"Would it be too conspicuous..."
He muttered something and walked that way.
He took out Ye Gengyi's modified detector and connected one end to the door.
While waiting for detection.
Kuroba Kaito was not idle either. He quickly came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room, confirmed the height and orientation, and checked the material of the glass.
Can be invaded from the outside...
Although the secret of this treasure stealing plan was the first priority, since they were new here and time was tight, no one could guarantee whether it would be exposed during the operation, so the two naturally discussed other plans.
What Kuroba Kaito has to do now is to write down as much as possible the internal layout of the high-rise buildings.
【Safety. 】
The detection results of the detector came from the hidden earphones.
This means that opening that door will at least not cause alarm bells to go off.
Kuroba Kaito didn't waste any time, quickly walked over and gently opened the door that connected to other areas.
It's like a leisurely mime performance.
As the gap opened wider, no sound was heard in the lonely space.
There is a faint smell of dried gravel and some subtle flavors that are difficult to distinguish.
There is no partition behind the door.
A spiraling upward corridor directly fills the line of sight.
Huh?
It’s really a secret passage...
Kuroba Kaito blinked.
Looking up from where he was, he realized that it wasn't that the secret passage was unobstructed, but that a projection screen originally used to block it had been raised.
Drop a remote control smoke grenade in the corner.
Kuroba Kaito listened carefully for a moment, and after confirming that there was no sound from above, he got in without any hesitation.
When the slightly low door is closed, the space seems to be compressed.
Since there are no windows in this spiraling upward corridor, there is a serious lack of lighting, so the farther ahead is directly isolated in darkness.
Fortunately, the road is not too long.
Soon, he came to another door.
I used the detector again to detect the signal behind - this thing has a very wide detection range, and most people carry mobile phones, so it can be regarded as a human detector in disguise.
【Safety. 】
The moment the prompt came, Kuroba Kaito did not dare to delay and immediately opened the door and walked out.
...If this is the only passage connecting the two floors, then he must quickly find out what is on this floor before the people who may use it to leave here to eat come back.
Behind the door is a room.
The ceiling is not high…
No, this is more like a spacious cabinet than a room.
Uh...but it's bigger than a cabinet, it seems to be half a storage room.
The gleaming light of the detector screen barely lit up the surrounding darkness.
Same as the winding corridor behind.
There are no windows here.
In this dark and condensed atmosphere, the vision seems to be covered with a deep veil, and everything around seems to be suspended in the faint light.
Why does it feel like I'm here for adventure...
Kuroba Kaito cursed, put away the detector, closed his eyes and adapted to the darkness for a while.
After opening it again, he groped for the exit.
I don’t know if the person who comes to investigate is my brother, will he choose to explore this secret passage, or continue to search for gems in the room after avoiding those people in the corridor...
A slightly depressing atmosphere can always evoke unnecessary thoughts in humans.
Kuroba Kaito shook his head and concentrated, while his hands also groped for the edge of this space.
Um...um...yes...
He fumbled for a door catch, gently pulled it and pushed it outward.
A ray of light fell on him as the gap opened.
Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes and became more vigilant.
Regardless of whether it is exposed or not, at this moment, you can only try your luck!
Anyway...he had listened carefully, and there was no sound behind him.
The exit is so narrow...
Kuroba Kaito didn't stick his head out in a hurry, letting a small mirror act as an extension of his eyes and handed it out.
This is……
A painting on the wall?
As he flipped his palms, he obtained more and more information.
It was discovered that the dark secret room connected to the spiral staircase was neither a cabinet nor a storage room, but a real secret passage dug inward from the wall.
The door panel covering the outside happens to be the painting covering this secret passage.
He wasn't going to keep turning the mirror.
After all, the information that can be obtained in this way is limited. If it is seen by people passing by after a long time, it is better to go out quickly and find a hiding place.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito withdrew his palm and stared at the edge of the mirror.
Through the gap between the door panels, he could see a blurry black shadow reflected on the corner about five or six meters away from his position.
this……
Kuroba Kaito's breath stopped and he looked intently.
He was not mistaken, the black shadow was indeed a human figure.
If he hadn't had very keen observation skills, it would have been impossible for anyone else at this distance to notice this passing information.
that person……
He hid most of his body behind the corner, but because he needed to look around to observe the situation here, he accidentally exposed his traces.
Kuroba Kaito's first reaction was to run away, but he soon realized something was wrong.
Wait a moment!
If that guy is the owner of this floor, does he need to be so cautious?
He thought for a moment, took off his disguise, put on the dark disguise, and walked out.
