Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan
Chapter 467: Finding the Killing Room
The sky was dark and a light rain was falling.
On a London street in the late 19th century, where horse-drawn carriages were coming and going, a woman and two men were walking with umbrellas in hand, paying attention to their surroundings.
Conan Edogawa (Lily White, Colonel Moran's subordinate) and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya (Sherlock Holmes) are on both sides of Ran Maoli (Inspector Lestrade).
Mao Lilan looked at the map in her hand from time to time to make sure they did not go astray.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya stared at every passerby who passed by along the way, and whispered the information he saw to Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa, hoping to discover some important people.
Conan Edogawa looked around, trying to find some clues related to the murderer near the place where the body was dumped.
But as he watched, he couldn't stand it anymore.
The game scene is really authentic, and Edogawa Conan's observation and associative abilities are so developed that he can always catch a glimpse of some indescribable things and then successfully simulate the scenes where those dirty things appear in his mind.
And then...yue!
Help! It feels like Sherlock Holmes is going to stink if he lives in this environment!
Fortunately, their destination was not far from 221B Baker Street, so Conan Edogawa was spared from further mental pollution.
The place where the body was dumped was an alley full of sewage and a lot of garbage, and it stank to high heaven.
Because it was too dirty and messy, Conan Edogawa no longer subconsciously explored the source of each stain.
The three of them each found a handkerchief from their bodies, covered their mouths and noses with them, and began to step into the alley cautiously, carefully looking for clues.
It often rains in London, but it is mostly drizzle. Fortunately, there has been no heavy rain in the past few days, so the traces of the body dumping site have not been washed away.
The body was dumped yesterday. After someone found the body and reported it to Scotland Yard, the body was taken away, but no one came to clean up the scene.
Conan Edogawa held up the wide skirt and got as close to the ground and the wall as possible to observe: "It seems that the murderer should have thrown the body directly to the ground while standing. According to the weight of the body we learned before, the murderer should be about 180 cm tall. Of course, this also needs to include the height of the shoes the murderer was wearing at the time."
During this period, both men and women are accustomed to wearing high-heeled shoes when walking outside.
Mao Lilan recalled the files she had read before: "The victims were of different heights and weights. Some were tall, and some were thin. The murderer must have been very strong and could ignore the difficulty of carrying them due to their weight."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked around and suddenly said, "The murderer came from that side."
Conan Edogawa, who didn't see any clues about the murderer's route, said: "......? Why do you say that?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya scratched his head: "I can't tell, but I just feel that the murderer came from that side."
……Fine.
It’s good to have gaming skills!
Edogawa Conan and Mao Lilan looked at each other: "Mitsuhiko, can you tell me a more specific route?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya shook his head: "No."
Edogawa Conan then looked more carefully along the way in the direction that Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya mentioned.
This glance really made him see something wrong: "There are some fabric fibers rubbing against the wall here, but it stands to reason that no one would walk so close to the wall, so it is very likely that the murderer accidentally let the body rub against the wall when he was carrying the body through here."
The other two became excited when they heard this. They came forward to take a closer look: "Really? Let's look for other similar clues! Maybe we can find out where the murderer came from!"
Perhaps because the game itself is designed to allow players to complete the game, the murderer in the plot actually left behind a lot of very hidden clues when he dumped the body this time.
Si Xuanyu did not spend any special time cleaning up the traces left by Betty Bright when she dumped the bodies, and she did not intend to conceal the existence of the massacre room.
Even if the players really can't find any clues to discover the slaughter room, Si Xuanyu will have to think of ways to guide them.
So with the added skills of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Conan Edogawa's own detective ability, the three of them actually found their way to the house where Betty Bright committed the crime.
The house was locked, and Mao Lilan immediately used the power of the police to find out the owner of the house. It turned out to be an elderly widower who had passed away long ago. The heir of the old man's estate was far away in Berlin and had never taken care of the property, so it had been idle.
When the three learned the news, they immediately determined that there was something wrong with the room.
Because it was obvious that the room was always in use.
It would definitely be too late to open the door by following the formal procedures. In real life, there have been many cases where Conan Edogawa broke into private homes to investigate cases. He made a quick decision and pried open the door lock under the cover of Ran Mouri and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
The three detectives successfully entered the house.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya took a quick look and immediately said, "There is an entrance to a secret passage there."
Conan Edogawa no longer wanted to ask him how he knew that, but ran very honestly in the direction that Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya pointed. Ran Maoli immediately whispered, "Be careful, this is the residence of a serial killer."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya spoke again: "There's no one in the room."
Although Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa believed in Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's skills, they still acted cautiously.
The three of them successfully found and opened the entrance to the basement. The cover of the entrance was very heavy, and it took Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ran Mouri to pull it up together.
As soon as the cover was opened, a strong smell of blood and mold hit him in the face, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya couldn't help but retching.
Mao Lilan also pursed her lips uncomfortably, her brows furrowed, and her throat rolled.
Edogawa Conan knew that Mao Lilan was always afraid of such gloomy and bloody things, and he noticed Mao Lilan's discomfort at the first time: "Sister Xiaolan, are you okay?"
Mao Lilan shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine, Conan, don't worry. Xuan Yu asked Teacher Wu to make a horror training special for us."
She took a look into the basement and said to the two of them, "Be careful and wait for me upstairs. I'll go down and take a look."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya nodded without hesitation. Conan Edogawa was worried that Ran Maori was scared, so he wanted to let him go down and take a look, but Ran Maori stopped him: "I'm the best fighter, and I'm still a police officer, so it's more appropriate for me to go down. You guys watch from above, in case the murderer suddenly comes back."
Conan Edogawa hesitated: "But, it might be bloody down there, Xiaolan, you..."
Mao Lilan touched Edogawa Conan's head and said, "Then it's even more appropriate for me to go down. Although you and Mitsuhiko play the roles of adults in the game, you are still children in reality!"
Edogawa Conan opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
He originally wanted to say that he would go down with Ran Mouri, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not reassuring to leave Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya alone up there. If the murderer came back, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya might not be able to deal with it alone, so he agreed.
Mao Lilan lit a lamp and slowly walked into the basement.
The dark, damp and cold environment made Mao Lilan feel a little creepy. Her hearing seemed to be amplified a lot here. She was clearly the only one walking, but she always felt that the footsteps did not belong to her.
After walking a few steps forward, Mao Lilan saw a wall covered with bloody torture instruments. Mao Lilan closed her eyes, mustered up her courage, held the kerosene lamp in front of her eyes, walked a few steps forward, and looked around.
When Mao Lilan's eyes focused on a certain place, her pupils suddenly dilated. She raised her hand to cover her lips and swallowed the scream that was about to burst out from her lips and teeth.
A pair of wide-open but unfocused eyes stared in the direction of Mao Lilan. The head of the owner of the eyes was fixed to the wall by iron bars. His unnaturally sunken neck was covered with bruises. His arms were tied with chains. His clothes were stripped off. There was almost no uninjured part of his body, and his bones seemed to be out of their proper positions.
Mao Lilan covered her mouth and nose and breathed rapidly a few times. She endured the fear that made her scalp tingle, walked forward quickly, and checked as gently as possible to make sure that the other person had no vital signs. She then took a rough look and confirmed that she had walked through the basement and that there was no danger in the basement before turning and running towards the entrance.
Conan Edogawa had been paying attention to the movements in the basement, ready to rescue at any time. When he heard the sound of running footsteps, he immediately said, "Sister Xiaolan, is that you?"
"It's me," Ran Maoli appeared in the sight of Conan Edogawa and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "There is a victim down there, it should be the missing person who has not been found yet."
