The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 401: General Qian's Abnormality

However, Kogoro Mouri did not ask much about the Hakuba pine, but looked at Conan fiercely.

"Kid, why did you run so fast just now?!"

Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists and asked Conan fiercely.

"Uncle Maori, I..."

Conan scratched his head and spoke awkwardly.

However, Kogoro Mori didn't intend to give him a chance to explain and punched him directly.

"boom!"

"what!"

Conan once again covered his large red and swollen bump from bouncing around, tears streaming down his face.

"Humph!"

Maori Kogoro snorted coldly.

"From now on, you are not allowed to be more than two meters away from me, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences when you go back!"

"I know, I know!"

Conan nodded repeatedly, looking aggrieved.

Looking at this scene, Bai Masong felt a little amused in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

He scanned the crowd with his eyes and said calmly,

"It's not just Conan, it's the same for everyone."

"This is the underground passage built by Mr. Xiyi. No matter what mechanism it has, it's hard to say."

"When I leave, please be sure to follow Officer Shiratori and Mr. Maori."

Everyone was confused as they listened to Baimasong's words, which seemed calm but were actually full of pressure.

Although Bai Masong did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that Bai Masong must be very distrustful of one or some of their people.

Bai Masong didn't care about what other people thought, and led Miwako and Huihara Ai into the cave entrance.

After walking three or five steps, feeling that the people on the other side could no longer hear her, Huiyuan Ai slowly spoke,

"Tell me, what's the matter with calling us out?"

"Eh?"

Sato Miwako looked at Baiba Song in surprise.

"Did Asong call us out on purpose?"

"Not everyone can be trusted."

Bai Masong explained casually.

"So, what's going on?"

Miwako Sato and Ai Haibara looked at Hakuba Matsu at the same time.

Bai Masong said calmly,

"If we find the egg of memory later, something might happen."

"Condition?"

Huiyuan Ai frowned slightly.

"Are you worried about Scoob?"

"Um,"

Bai Masong nodded and did not deny it.

"Scott should still be among us. He might even have companions."

"If anything unexpected happens, you must immediately follow the Maori family. They are the only ones you can trust."

"how about you?"

Sato Miwako heard what Bai Masong said, as if he wanted to exonerate herself, and asked hurriedly.

"I'll go deal with the accident."

Bai Masong narrowed his eyes and spoke with a chill.

........................................................

ten minutes later

"Baima, did you find anything over there?"

Seeing Hakubamatsu and the other two coming back, Maori Kogoro couldn't wait to ask.

"No."

Bai Masong shook his head.

"That's another entrance over there, it seems to lead to another part of the castle."

As soon as these words came out, many unknown meanings suddenly emerged in everyone's eyes.

"but,"

Bai Masong continued calmly,

"The entrance over there is about ten meters above the ground. We need to use a ladder to get up there. But the rope ladder has fallen into disrepair and is broken."

After Bai Masong changed the subject, everyone lost interest in it.

It is more than ten meters high and it is really difficult to climb up without any tools, so it is of no value.

"Since we've confirmed that there are no clues about the Egg of Memory over there, let's move on."

"Shiratori Renzaburo" said to everyone.

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Masong and others returned to the team, and everyone continued walking along the dark underground passage.

After walking for a while, everyone stopped after turning a corner of an arch.

Standing in front of everyone was a larger arch, and where there should have been a passage or stone door, there was now a copper wall that was entirely copper-yellow in color.

There are some patterns on the copper wall.

“Is this the wrong way?”

General Qian asked unconsciously.

"Probably not."

Shiratori Renzaburo shook his head.

"We haven't seen a second intersection along the way. This place should be the end of the passage."

"Who said there wasn't one? Wasn't there a ..."

Qian Jiang didn't finish his words, but it was obvious that he was referring to the cave that Bai Masong had explored.

Everyone could understand what he meant. It was simply that the real passage might be over there, and either Bai Mashong didn't pay attention, or Bai Mashong deliberately concealed it.

"Mr. Qian,"

Maori Kogoro interrupted him and said seriously,

"I believe in the white horse."

"There must be a way to open this copper wall in front of us."

"cut,"

Qian Jiangyi curled his lips.

"Who knows?"

"Ah,"

Bai Masong smiled coldly and looked at Qian Jiangyi with disdain.

"If you have any doubts, please feel free to do as you please, Mr. Qian."

Looking at Bai Masong's cold eyes, everyone understood what he meant, and now they all looked at Qian Jiangyi with amusement.

Didn’t you say that the cave entrance is the real road? Then why don’t you go there now?

"Humph!"

Qian Jiang's face was not looking good, and his anger was evident in his words. He shouted,

"Go and go!"

Then he looked at the others.

"Everyone, I'm going to explore the other side of the cave first. Take care!"

After saying that, General Qian walked back the way he came without looking back.

Looking at his departing back, the hostess, Natsumi Kosaka, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Kogoro Mori.

"Mr. Maori, Mr. Qian and Officer Hakuba..."

Natsumi Kosaka seemed to want to say something to Kogoro Mori but hesitated, and glanced at Hakuba Matsu.

Kogoro Mori just shook his head and said nothing.

"Oh, just a clever trick."

Bai Masong narrowed his eyes with a sneer on his lips.

Everyone listened to Bai Masong's words, neither agreeing nor denying.

Does Qian Jiangyi really think that Bai Masong is hiding something?

maybe.

In fact, Qian Jiangyi himself was not sure, and he didn't even think that the cave over there really contained clues to the Egg of Memory.

After all, even in terms of architecture, on one side is a narrow cave that looks like a path, and on the other side is a passage with arches all the way.

Mr. Xiyi did not intend to mislead others at the beginning, so it was naturally impossible for him to do something abnormal.

Qian Jiangyi himself knew this.
