Don't let Conan know I have super powers

Chapter 405: Maze Skeleton, Erudite Little Ai

"Wow! There really is a mechanism!" The children were so excited when they saw the entrance revealed by the rotation of the wall that they wanted to get in right away.

But it was pitch dark inside, so Yeyue asked them, "Have you brought lighting equipment?" It was a reverse sentence.

Yuantai smiled, raised his thick arm, and showed the watch on it, "This is the watch-type flashlight invented by Dr. Agasa. Each of us has one."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also showed their watches, but Xiao Ai stood still with his hands behind his back. Only then did Ayumi look surprised, "Oh no, Haibara-san doesn't have a watch yet!"

"It's okay, I don't need this thing." Xiao Ai replied nonchalantly.

Ayumi took Xiao Ai's hand and said, "Next time I'll ask Dr. A Li to give you one too. As a member of the Junior Detective Team, you can't live without the same watch."

Xiao Ai was slightly startled. What the hell? When did I join your naughty kid detective team?

Although it was baffling, Xiao Ai did not deny it.

Yeyue couldn't help laughing. Is this the inertia of history?

"Okay, now there are three lighting devices, which is enough. Let's go in and have a look." Yeyue took the children into the secret passage, and then the door closed automatically and the pointer turned back.

You can see a staircase going down here, and everyone walked down it together.

Calculating the height of the stairs just now, the flat land they were on now should be under the castle. As they continued to advance, the children became a little nervous because there were forks in the road leading in all directions.

"Why are there so many roads?"

"It's like a maze!"

The children were restless, and Xiao Ai expressed his opinion, "Many castles will arrange complex passages underground to buy time for escape during wars. This is probably one of those types."

Ayumi asked weakly: "We won't get lost, right? Then we will be trapped in the maze and die..."

In fact, even Xiao Ai is a little unsure, because this maze is too complicated. Wouldn't it be bad to go deep into it rashly?

So Xiao Ai suggested, "How about we go back first? We can come back to the adventure when we are fully prepared. We can go to the car to get the fishing line and put the line out while going deep into the maze. Then we can follow the line back."

This idea was unanimously approved by everyone. However, when they returned to the entrance, they couldn't open the door even though they tried their best, and no mechanism to open the door was found around them. "It's over! We are really trapped inside. Brother Yeyue, please call the doctor quickly." The children urged, but Yeyue took out her mobile phone but found that there was no signal.

The children used their badges to contact Conan but there was no response. Maybe Conan's badge was placed in the car.

Before the children could panic, Yeyue said with relief, "Don't worry, I can easily remember every path I have taken. As long as I walk a few more times, I will definitely find the exit."

In fact, Yeyue has obtained the correct route map through [There is Only One Truth]. The fake lady has been wandering in the maze all day long and has already memorized the maze route by heart. It's convenient for Yeyue now.

……

A group of one and four children walked in the maze for a few minutes. Suddenly, they saw a dark figure sitting against the wall in front of them by the light of a flashlight. When he got closer, he saw that it was a skeleton, which made the children scream loudly.

"Dead people, why are there dead people?" The children were panicked. I guess they haven't seen enough now, and they won't be afraid if they run around more crime scenes in the future.

Xiao Ai was as calm as a child. She just frowned, carefully observed the skeleton, and murmured to herself, "With long hair and a simple long skirt, it should be a woman."

Yeyue asked curiously: "Can't he be a crossdresser?" Xiao Ai rolled his eyes at this sentence, and Yeyue laughed twice, "Sorry, I think the atmosphere is too depressing, just kidding. You continue to analyze .”

Xiao Ai observed the legs of the skeleton and showed a surprised expression, "This person's leg bones are obviously abnormally thin, like someone who has been bedridden or in a wheelchair all year round...wait, in a wheelchair?"

When the wheelchair was mentioned, everyone suddenly thought of the lady they had seen before.

Xiao Ai looked at the teeth of the skeleton and her face became more serious. "Judging from the wear and tear of the teeth, the age of the deceased is indeed close to the age of the wife..."

Guangyan looked at Xiao Ai in shock, "Haiyuan, why do you know so much?" Guangyan claimed to be knowledgeable and talented, and he was the strategist of the Youth Detective Corps, but he couldn't understand what Xiao Ai said.

Xiao Ai replied: "I read it in books." Unlike Conan, Xiao Ai did not lie. She did learn these medical knowledge from books, plus some clinical experience.

Yeyue put on a serious attitude and asked Xiao Ai: "You mean, the madam outside is a fake? Is the deceased the real madam?"

"What?" The children were all shocked.

Xiao Ai thought for a while and nodded slightly, "I think it's very possible. A fire in the tower killed all the Tai Madam's daughter and her old servants. Only the Tai Madam was sick and lived elsewhere and escaped. A calamity. It’s almost like pretending to be the madam, so I got rid of all the acquaintances of the madam.”

Yeyue showed an expression of approval, "What you said is indeed very similar. Mr. Man, who just got married, has never met Mrs. Tai, so there is no need to worry. Mr. Guiren has lived abroad since he was a child, and he is not particularly close to his grandma. As long as the impostor pretends to be insane, he can get away with it no matter what goes wrong."

"Yes, the target of the impostor should be the treasure in the castle. Of course, these are all speculations. Anyway, let's try to get out of the maze first and tell Mr. Noble about the discovery of the body."

……

Led by Yeyue, the group of people successfully walked out of the maze soon, in a corridor of the castle. After they came out, the wall closed again, so tightly that no trace could be seen.

"Great, it's finally out." The children were very happy. Guangyan asked: "Brother Yeyue, how did you know that there is a mechanism on the wall of the maze that can open the door?"

Yeyue made an excuse, "I heard a saying that in the maze, as long as you put your hand on the right wall and walk, you will definitely find the exit if you keep walking. I gave it a try, but unexpectedly I happened to touch the mechanism."

The children were stunned for a moment after the explanation. How could this be done?

Xiao Ai recalled carefully and found that she seemed to have heard this saying too.

"Okay, let's go find Mr. Guiren first." Yeyue made a decision.

They didn't realize that as soon as they walked out of the maze with their front feet, Conan entered the maze with his back feet.

Like Yeyue, Conan also came in from the wall clock. He also couldn't go back the way he came, so he had no choice but to walk forward and came to the place where the bones were found.

Seeing the skeleton, Conan's expression changed instantly, "With long hair and a skirt...is it a woman? Wait, the leg bones of this skeleton are very abnormal...could this person be!"

Conan didn't notice a dark shadow following him.
