My neighbor's name is Conan

"Inspector, there are no other clues in this case except that the criminal has good lock-picking skills and committed the crime at night." Maruta Ayumi said with some distress.

He also felt that he was a bit unlucky. Why did he encounter such difficult cases one after another?

Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go around and visit the area."

The five streets of Beika-cho 2-chome, 3-chome, 4-chome, 5-chome, and 6-chome include the Mori Detective Agency, the Kudo Shinji family, Teitan High School, and Teitan Elementary School.

If there are no clues, then we can only take a gamble on science!

If you take a look around, you might meet one of the three Mori people, the Junior Detective Team, Suzuki Sonoko, etc. who are the trigger of the case, and get clues.

Although Qing Mu Song did not like to gamble, because he always felt that his luck was not very good, and he did not want things to be out of his control, but he had no other choice but to take a gamble.

The world of science, gambling science, is also quite scientific.

You know what, Aoki Matsu really won the bet.

Just as he turned to Go-chome, Aoki Matsu saw six children coming towards him. His eyes lit up immediately and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sayuri, why are you here? You haven't put on your schoolbags yet."

"Brother." Sayuri responded obediently after seeing Aoki Matsu, and then honestly told him what they were going to do.

"Takuma, a classmate of ours, was playing hide-and-seek with his friends at a relative's house in Beika-cho 5-chome when something happened. He couldn't find his friends no matter how hard he looked, and thought the only place he hadn't looked was the warehouse, so he climbed up a tree and looked inside through the warehouse window.

There were a lot of precious-looking artworks inside, and in the dark among these treasures, it seemed as if someone was looking at him. Takuma thought that the dark place was a friend hiding, so he was about to go into the warehouse, but the door was locked and he couldn't open it.

He kept knocking on the door and calling his friend's name but no one came out. So he asked his family to open the door, but they told him that the warehouse had been sealed for many years and no one would go in.

Takuma didn't believe it and insisted that there must be someone in the warehouse, so the family members opened the door. After entering, they found that the treasure and the people they had just seen were nowhere to be seen.

Since Takuma looked incredulous, his family told him a legend about the warehouse. You must not put valuables in that warehouse. Once you put them in, they will disappear. That means they will be swallowed up by the monster with a big appetite!

I heard that Takuma-san, who was frightened, has nightmares every night since then. He didn't come to school today, so we came here. Our Junior Detective Team will definitely solve the mystery of the monster warehouse and let Takuma-san live a peaceful life. "

Maruta Ayumi, who was standing by, smiled and said, "You guys are really loved by your classmates."

"Of course." Yuan Tai said, puffing out his chest.

[Monster warehouse!? ]

It seems a little familiar.

Aoki Matsu thought about it and suddenly remembered that this was another masterpiece of Sanmizu Yoshiemon, the mechanical construction master in the world of science!

In addition to the two cases related to Kaito Kid, the Super Vault Iron Raven, the Big Diamond Nioh Stone, and the Amber Kirin Horn, there is also the Mechanic Box Wood God, and - the Monster Warehouse.

After recalling the monster warehouse, Aoki Matsu also recalled this case. The robber who stole jewelry and antiques put the stolen goods in the monster warehouse and hid inside.

Even the current owner of the house where the warehouse was located did not know about this. As the warehouse had a mechanism, other people were even less aware of it, so not only was he not discovered, but because he had a place to store his stuff, he became unscrupulous and committed five crimes in one month.

"Sayuri, are you sure that Takuma said he saw a lot of art works?" Aoki Matsu looked at Sayuri and asked.

Sayuri looked at Mitsuhiko and said, "Mitsuhiko heard it."

"Brother Aoki, I'm sure. I even asked him in person." Mitsuhiko asked hurriedly.

"Warehouse in Go-chome..." Aoki Matsu pretended to mutter for a moment, then looked at Maruta Ayumi, "If there really is such a warehouse, it would meet the requirements."

Maruta Ayumi thought for a moment and said, "The location does fit, but didn't Takuma's family also open the warehouse for him to see, and there was nothing inside?"

"Since there are no other clues, let's go check out this warehouse first." Qing Musong said, then looked at the little ones and asked, "Sayuri, can we go with you?"

"Brother Aoki, are you investigating a case?" When the smart Conan saw this situation, he naturally guessed some possibilities immediately.

This matter has caused quite a stir, especially for the residents nearby. It is common knowledge and there is no need to hide it.

So Qing Musong nodded and said, "That's right. Several jewelry stores and antique stores around here have been robbed recently, so our boss sent us here to conduct a joint investigation. Conan, you are the smartest and the best at reasoning. Think about it, does that monster warehouse meet the requirements of a robber? And because of the rumors, timid people dare not approach it, so it is even less likely to be discovered."

Conan thought about it and nodded, "Indeed, the monster warehouse does meet the requirements of the robber."

It is located nearby, slightly larger and less noticeable.

All fit perfectly.

This was not the first time that the Junior Detective Team had helped the police with a case, so they agreed immediately.

Then everyone went to Takuma's relative's house, and Aoki Matsu and Maruta Ayumi acted as guardians of the six little ones.

Takuma's relative was a kind-looking grandfather. He did not show any impatience towards the curious children. When he heard that the children wanted to investigate the warehouse, he took the initiative to lead the children to the warehouse.

"You guys are Takuma's friends, so you came to investigate that warehouse, right?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Yes." Mitsuhiko replied.

"Because we are the Junior Detective Team."

Qing Musong smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a good thing that children are curious." Then he joked to the Junior Detective Team, "But don't be too obsessed. In the end, you will be eaten by the warehouse. Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately looked at Mitsuhiko and the others and teased, "Did you hear that?"

“It’s okay.” Mitsuhiko said seriously, “Most ghost stories are illusions caused by fear.”

Yuan Tai continued: "And the unsolved mysteries in this world..."

"It doesn't exist at all!" Ayumi said immediately.

"And my brother is here." Sayuri trusted Aoki Matsu very much and said, "Conan, you can't solve the mystery by yourself, but my brother can definitely solve it."

"That's right, Brother Aoki is much more powerful than someone." Haibara Ai also said deliberately teasing.

"Uh..." Conan was caught in the "backstab" of his friend and immediately felt unhappy.

[Damn, do you know who is the real god in the Boy Detective Team? I have solved this mystery! ]

Looking at Conan, he instantly perked up.

Aoki Matsu knew that Conan was being provoked again and became serious.

Soon the group arrived at the door of the warehouse.

From the outside, the warehouse is very old and has a certain sense of historical vicissitudes. The warehouse is partly above the ground, and you have to walk up four steps to reach the door of the warehouse.

"Hey, although it looks old, it's just an ordinary warehouse!" Haibara Ai complained while standing on the stairs.

The old man explained: "After all, this is a warehouse built during the late Edo period."

This is a warehouse built during the late Edo period, so it's no surprise that it looks old.

However, at present, there seems to be nothing unusual about the warehouse except that it looks a little old.

Aoki Matsu and Maruta Ayumi also stood not far away and observed the situation in the warehouse. After looking at it from the front for a while, they didn't find anything special, so they went around to the back of the warehouse to take a look, but still didn't see anything special.

After saying that, the old man took out the warehouse key and started unlocking it.

Conan accidentally glanced around and was surprised to find that Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi and Sayuri were holding up their mobile phones to take pictures of the surroundings.

The four little ones showed extraordinary enthusiasm and seriousness in today's investigation.

This made Conan vaguely feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"

"We are taking pictures!" Ayumi answered seriously.

Mitsuhiko also said very seriously: "Because we have to solve the mystery of this warehouse next."

"So it's right to take pictures of the surroundings of the warehouse first," Yuantai said.

"This is called taking photos to collect evidence." Sayuri characterized their behavior.

"That's true..." Conan smiled awkwardly when he heard that.

At this time the warehouse door was opened.

"Okay." The old man stretched out his hand to open the door, and said as he pushed the door open, "But there's nothing inside."

The interior of the warehouse was completely dark, and one couldn't see anything from the outside. One could only vaguely tell that the space inside was large. Also, the interior of the warehouse was empty.

"Oh, it's so big inside." Ayumi exclaimed.

"But it was pitch black and I could hardly see anything," Mitsuhiko stated.

"The only light I can see is a little light from the skylight." Conan turned on the flashlight on his watch and pointed it at the ray of light. "It should be the light coming through the gap in the window."

"Let's take a few more pictures inside the warehouse!" Yuantai said as he took the phone and put it in front.

Sayuri responded, "Okay."

"Be careful, especially it's dark down there...ah!" Conan walked inside while reminding the little ones to be careful. Before he could finish his words, he missed a step and fell to the ground.

"Conan!" The little ones looked down in surprise after hearing that.

"It hurts!" Conan sat on the wooden floor and grimaced, obviously having fallen quite hard.

Seeing this, Huiyuan Ai complained: "He fell down right after he said he had to be careful. How convincing."

【What a great example! 】

Aoki Matsu stood behind and laughed in his heart.

"No, this staircase..." Conan smiled awkwardly. He looked back at the empty staircase he had just stepped on and immediately noticed something strange. "Look, there are footprints on the ground!"

Conan quickly turned on the flashlight on his watch and pointed it at the footprints.

Then everyone discovered that there were footprints only in the middle of the warehouse floor, and a row of footprints extended to the end of the warehouse. Judging from the size, they were footprints of adults.

Qing Musong also turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, shone it in both directions, and found that there were no footprints anywhere else.

At this time, Conan pointed the flashlight at the wall at the end of the footprints and found a huge abacus embedded on the wall opposite the gate. If you look closely, you will find that the number of beads on the abacus is a bit strange.

When Conan discovered these, the four little ones were taking pictures with their mobile phones.

Just as Conan was about to continue observing, the old man's voice came, "Hey, there's nothing here! That's enough, I'm going to lock the door again."

Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi looked at Aoki Matsu and asked for instructions with his eyes.

Aoki Matsu shook his head slightly and signaled Maruta Ayumi to go out first.

"Okay." Conan responded, then subconsciously looked around and found Genta and Mitsuhiko standing in the corner, not knowing what they were doing. "Hey, you guys have to come out too."

"Okay." The two responded.

After everyone left the warehouse, the old man locked the warehouse again, then looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with this? Little friends from the detective team."

Before the other kids could speak, Qing Musong asked, "Old man, do you know why there is such a large abacus embedded in the wall in the warehouse?"

The old man said, "I don't know. My father bought this place from a poor nobleman. It was like this when he bought it."

"Old sir, I've heard a rumor." Qing Musong looked at the old man and said, "I heard that the famous mechanical master Sanshui Kichiemon in the late Edo period once built a warehouse with mechanical devices for a family. There was a secret room inside to store some valuables."

This is of course nonsense!

The old man was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Ah!"

"Did you know that this warehouse was designed and built by Kichiemon Sanmizu?" Aoki Matsu looked at the old man and asked.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "I heard my father say that it seemed to be designed and built by Sanshui Kichiemon, but I remember my father said that it seemed to be a story made up by the seller in order to sell the house at a higher price."

Could it be true?

"Maruta, you stay here, I'm going to go out for a while." Aoki Matsu said, then walked out.

Seeing this, Conan hurriedly followed Aoki Matsu and ran out. Looking at Aoki Matsu's appearance, it was obvious that he knew a lot of things that he didn't know.

After Qing Musong walked out of the warehouse, he put his phone away and climbed up the big tree next to it whose branches just stretched to the skylight outside the warehouse.

With the help of this big tree, Qing Musong climbed up to the skylight and came to the window along a relatively thick branch. Then he turned on the video recording function of his mobile phone, carefully pushed open the window with his left hand, and took the mobile phone in his right hand to shoot inside.
