"indeed……"
Hui Yuan Ai frowned: "After we rushed to the scene, we speculated that Miss Taozhi fell from the tower, but in fact, none of us saw it with our own eyes. Let alone call the ambulance in advance."
"But the question is, if Miss Taozhi really fell from the tower, how did she get up?"
Conan's expression was solemn, and his eyes were flashing with a thoughtful look: "And the direction Mr. Chang Lai came from just now should be towards the villa..."
"What you mean is," Hui Yuan Ai lowered her voice and guessed: "The entrance to the Dark Tower is inside the villa."
"ah……"
Conan nodded seriously, looked at the tall figure walking in the front, and said, "I think Brother Gengyi thinks so too, so he let us go back to the villa."
"But..." Haiyuan Ai is still a little confused, "Assuming the entrance is inside the villa, why have no one from the Jingtang family ever discovered it?"
"Perhaps the entrance is hidden in a room or basement of the villa that is not often visited, and the mechanism needs to be activated to open it." Conan analyzed.
He didn't have many clues yet, so he quickened his pace after saying this.
"Wait a minute." Haiyuan Ai grabbed him, "I think you made a mistake about something."
"What?" Conan was startled and looked into Haiyuan Ai's eyes. His brain, which was filled with reasoning, regained some sense and vaguely guessed the key.
Haiyuan Ai pointed behind him: "After something like this happened, do you think Brother Gengyi asked us to go back to the villa because he wanted us to help find the entrance to the 'Tower of Darkness'?"
"Ah this..." Conan lowered his voice and said hesitantly: "But Brother Gengyi just asked us to go back and call the police first. He didn't say we couldn't continue the investigation. Moreover, if we can find the entrance to the Dark Tower, maybe we can We can find clues to Miss Taozhi’s fall from the tower.”
"hehe……"
Hui Yuan Ai narrowed his eyes: "Would you like to go directly and ask?"
"P-please!"
Conan's heart tightened and he hurriedly stopped in front of Haiyuan Ai: "If you ask me, Brother Gengyi will definitely not agree! If you are really worried that everyone will be in danger, what if we only look for the entrance this time and don't go in? Sample?"
"Oh?" Hui Yuan Ai stared over.
"This, this is something that can't be helped..." Conan looked helpless: "How could you not investigate the case right in front of you? If you guys secretly tell Brother Gengyi, he might just throw me away. Keep an eye on Xiaolan!"
There are cases that cannot be investigated and doubts that cannot be solved. For him who is addicted to reasoning, it is tantamount to a different kind of torture.
If this 'stupid' detective doesn't agree, he might do something dangerous again. Brother Geng Yi can't keep looking at him. Forget it... let me do it.
Hui Yuan Ai thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Okay then... As long as you promise to notify everyone immediately after you find the entrance, I don't have to tell Brother Geng Yi."
"Don't worry!" Conan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly patted his chest and promised: I won't mess around this time.
Haibara Ai:"……"
hope so……
…
The living room of the villa.
In order to prevent everyone from catching a cold, Kaido Nanami brought towels to wipe everyone's hair after calling the police.
Conan held a cup of hot tea and sat on the sofa pretending to be a 'good boy'.
On the other side, Ye Gengyi stopped Huihara Ai, who was used to bringing him a teacup, and reminded him again:
"The shower won't last long. We'll have enough rest later. You can take them to the outdoor pavilion."
Eh... Hui Yuan Ai blinked.
"Don't go to the scene, don't look for the entrance to the Dark Tower." Ye Gengyi said.
After all, 'run towards the mirror after seeing the red bug' is a very vague concept. Instead of giving some explanation without reference, it is better to give your own specific opinions directly.
"Is there any danger?" Hui Yuarai asked hesitantly.
She always felt that it was strange that Ye Gengyi was cautious today, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that she was being nervous.
"have no idea."
Ye Gengyi looked around the room casually: "Because it looks very ordinary."
ordinary?
Is this... are you talking about the Jingtang family? Hui Yuan Ai was very confused.
At this time, Mao Lilan came over with a mobile phone and said: "Brother Gengyi, this is my father's phone number..."
Ye Gengyi took it: "Mr. Maoli?"
"Kaiichi! Xiaolan said that a case occurred? What is the situation now?" Maori Kogoro spoke loudly, but it sounded very scattered.
outdoors……
Ye Gengyi made a brief judgment and said: "The ambulance and police have been called. The specific case needs further investigation to get an accurate answer."
"Okay, I understand, I'll go there now." Mouri Kogoro came to an authoritative conclusion and was also preparing to make a 'famous detective' appearance.
"Um……"
Ye Geng returned the phone to Mao Lilan and waited for the other party to tell a certain tool the address of Jingtang's house. After ending the call, he said to her:
"Xiaolan, I'll go look elsewhere. You can take care of these children."
"Okay." Mao Lilan nodded in agreement.
Conan watched Ye Gengyi leave the room, approached Hui Yuan Ai, and inquired about the news in a low voice:
"Hey... Haiyuan, what did Brother Gengyi just tell you?"
Hui Yuan Ai thought for a while, and since the conversation between the two did not involve any secrets, he told her frankly:
"Brother Gengyi asked us to rest and go to the pavilion outside. Don't get close to the scene and don't look for the entrance to the Dark Tower."
It was not surprising at all that a certain detective boy reminded a few people not to look for the entrance to the Tower of Darkness when Ye Gengyi reminded them. Just... go outside... Could it be that he had already discovered the entrance to the Tower of Darkness in the villa?
Conan held his chin with one hand and asked after a moment: "Did Brother Gengyi say where he went?"
"..." Hui Yuan Ai said nothing, staring at the other person without blinking.
Conan said with shame: "That's right..."
In the eyes of the other party, he and the Young Detective Team are just kids who always think of themselves as detectives. It would be strange if they could speak.
…
Outside the villa, next to the courtyard lamp that Kaido Nanami had visited with a few people earlier.
Ye Gengyi raised his head and looked at the dark cloudy sky:
"Thunder and lightning weather..."
He murmured, and after thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to omit the step of launching the drone.
Previously, on the way back to the villa from the rose garden, he had a good ear and heard the whispers between Conan and Haiyuan.
At that time, Haihara Ai said: "Assuming the entrance is inside the villa, why have no one from the Jingtang family ever discovered it?"
Yes, why...
The answer is simple, because the entrance is most likely in a place they don't usually go.
