Cold, clammy air penetrated the nostrils.

As far as the eye can see, all the scenery is covered by cloud-like mist, and the mist moves with the rhythm of the wind, like waves, rushing to the deepest part of the cliff side one after another.

Conan turned on the switch of the watch flashlight, illuminating the wet ground.

"Brother Yaoyi, let's go to the back of the villa first."

He felt that as the wisest of the four, he had the responsibility and obligation to remind this young student who was "ignorant of the world" so that the other party would not be in danger because of curiosity.

"Um."

The goal was the same for the time being, Ye Gengyi just nodded slightly, and walked to the back of the villa.

Look up at the brightly lit window.

It was still the same one they saw when they came.

The light is still on, but the person is missing? Or maybe there was no one in that room from the start...

Although it was very strange, compared to the weird things that have been encountered since I came here, I didn't feel too surprised emotionally.

"Huh? There is really a road here."

Conan's voice came from his feet again.

Ye Gengyi didn't look at the big hood half hidden in the mist, but set his eyes on a ramp extending behind the weeds.

Basically the same as he expected.

The road leading to this villa is indeed not the only one that they came from.

At this time, the dark clouds above the head had already dropped to the top of the forest.

I don't know if it's because it's about to rain, and the air has become much thicker.

Ye Gengyi casually wiped away the crystal drops of water that had condensed on the brows. He didn't go to explore the completely dark forest where there was no greenery at all. He turned around and walked towards the tall tower paved with gravel paths.

Hey, hey, the beam of the flashlight can't shine too far in this environment... Conan saw this, and quickly followed up: "Brother Yaoyi, walk slowly."

Ye Gengyi took over the command of the conversation, and asked, "Little friend, do you think the missing master in this villa is really the 'Mr. Mountain' that Maori detectives are looking for?"

From Huanshan Road to the gas station to this villa.

Along the way, they only talked about unimportant topics.

If it was something that needed to be kept secret, then a stranger like him would not be taken on this trip at all, so there was only one possibility left, and that was that Conan had asked Mori Kogoro about the client in advance.

"Well…"

Conan hesitated for a while, and replied helplessly: "I can't be 100% sure until I meet the person, because uncle accidentally burned the note paper with the client's information..."

"Burned?"

Ye Geng paused... This was a possibility he hadn't imagined at all.

In other words, the reason why the client was not talked about along the way was because the tool guy felt that it would be… embarrassing to talk about it in front of strangers?

So, before I thought that Mori Kogoro could not see the road signs clearly in the foggy days, which led to his unfamiliarity with the route, was he also wrong?

"Since it's written on paper, shouldn't there be no impression at all?" Ye Geng asked...that's why he didn't speculate in this regard.

"Uh... Uncle was watching the horse race at that time..." Conan was embarrassed.

In other words, the known information is completely equal to zero...

Gan...Although I didn't plan to rely on them completely, and I made mental preparations in advance, but where did this pair of Death and Plague bring me?

Ye Geng raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "You go back to the villa first, I'll walk around randomly, and then I'll go find you."

"It doesn't matter to me, two people can take care of each other when they encounter things together."

Conan scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it for a while.

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 agreed that Kogoro Moori was unreliable after listening to his previous narration, and A 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 reassured, "Besides, our luck isn't that bad, right?"

Where are you going, which **** of death has the face to talk to me about luck?

Ye Gengyi wanted to kick this kid away, but considering the situation was still unclear, he temporarily suppressed this idea.

Hmm... I have to admit that when two people act together in an unfamiliar environment, they can indeed take care of each other, and the little detective has props on him, so he is not a useless oil bottle, but relatively speaking, many of his own methods cannot blatant use.

In fact, another reason why Ye Gengyi wanted to act alone was to unlock the 'makeover card' to relieve the pressure on his nerves, but on second thought...

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 positive and one negative will not be considered any real relief, so there will be no delay. .

The two 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 been decayed and rusted, it is not difficult to see that this place should have been a flower garden in the past.

The night wind that kept blowing made the night even colder.

The beam of light from the flashlight shone on the flowing mist, making his vision more and more hazy.

Without hesitation, Ye Gengyi let the nanorobot attach to the electric shock glove, changed its pattern and style, and stretched out his hand to push open the door of the black tower.

Although the gate is not locked, the hinges used to connect the door panel to the door frame have long been rusted.

crunch—

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of rubbing, the crack in the door slowly cracked open, revealing a darker and deeper space.

no flying dust...

Of course, what Ye Gengyi was referring to was not the dust saturated after absorbing the mist, but the dust accumulated in the cracks of this old door.

Assuming this is a door panel that has been in disrepair for a long time~lightnovelpub.net~ Under the vibration just now, it will more or less drop some similar powder.

Based on a simple judgment, this situation could only be due to the fact that someone often entered and exited the tower, but until just now, he had not heard a similar sound of the door opening.

The sound insulation effect of the villa is very good?

There are factors in this aspect, but if you think about the role, since the other party doesn't care whether the voice will be heard by others, why hasn't he shown up until now?

Four possibilities...

First, the way to open the door by yourself is wrong.

Second, the figure seen before is still in the tower.

Third, if no one can be found, it means that there is a secret passage in the tower...

Fourth, what I saw in the tower before was the drunk man.
