Chapter 567 - Indecision, Lever Mechanics
"What do you mean," Qian Yu asked with a slight hesitation. "Can this book really do it?"
Regardless of whether they were really able to enter the underworld after suspended animation, it might be really possible in terms of suspended animation—at that time, they did notice that Harawaki Takashi's body was still warm, but they thought it was caused by the recent time of murder and the hot weather. Now that I think about it, if there really is something similar to yoga or drugs that can cause cardiac arrest with mild damage to the body, it may really be possible to fool them who are not mentally prepared for it.
"Perhaps, but personally, I don't really think of the science of the way it works," Gray Hara shrugged. "Come and see, I have reservations about it, though I can't deny that everything we've seen so far can be confirmed by what it's on."
"I don't want to care about this kind of thing," Conan shook his head. "I asked the other staff for footage here, and one of the cameras was able to capture this side - although I couldn't see the inside of the room, it proved that no one walked through the window, and the camera in the room didn't capture Takashi Harawaki going down to the first floor."
"You mean ......" Chiba was probably aware of Conan's thoughts.
"Hmm," Conan nodded. "Regardless of whether the other party really has the ability to bring the dead back to life, it is very likely that Takashi Harawaki has not been able to leave here now, and may even be hiding in this room."
"In the room?" Gray Yuan frowned and glanced at the scene in the room. "With all due respect, if he's really hiding here, and we haven't found out where he is, the only explanation is that he's dead."
"It's also possible that it's just a fake death," Conan shrugged. "But the result is the same, and we need to see if we can find him here."
"I can't find it," just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door—Miss Orijiang, whom they had seen before, was standing at the door, staring at the thick book in their hands with a look of fear. "We tried once, but that time we found the president a few days later, and all we found was his body."
"President? Corpse? Qianyu was stunned. Belch...... Can you tell us a little bit about what happened? We don't know enough about what happened, and we'd love to let us know. ”
"That's our college classmate, the president of our film club," he said, taking his eyes off the book and organizing the language. "About ten years ago, he performed to us – right in front of us, in this room, and disappeared."
"Gone?" Conan asked hurriedly. "What does that mean?"
"It's literal disappearance," replied Orie. "He closed the door a minute ago, and when we walked in a minute later, there was no one in the room."
"Where have you all checked?" Conan asked again. "Are there any potential dead spots that may not have been checked?"
"Impossible!" Bei Xiang Zhijiang affirmed. "We checked under the bed, and we also checked under the wardrobe, not only are there no Tibetans, but they are all solid, there can be no secret passages or anything."
"......" Conan had an expression of disbelief on his face. I've just measured, and there's no room for a secret passage on the wall...... If there's no on the ground, wouldn't it—"
As he said this, everyone looked at the ceiling above.
"If it were a minute, I don't think the president would have had time to move the bed, so maybe there was a secret passage right above this bed or this wardrobe that could be pushed open?"
"Possibly," Chiba nodded. "But for adults, I prefer a place with a moderate height, the wardrobe is too light, and it's easy for adults to lose their balance when they climb up."
"No," Bei Xiang Oiee seemed to think of something, and said immediately. "That wardrobe still has a lot of weight, and I don't think an adult should have any balance problems if he climbs up like this."
"Is it heavy?" Qian Yu was stunned and looked at the closet. "This ...... Isn't it a wooden wardrobe? Will it really be that heavy? ”
If there was no order of magnitude difference between his experience with this kind of furniture and the simulation results in the auxiliary unit, this wardrobe would never have been that heavy.
"But the problem is that it's true," Ori walked over to the closet, grabbed a corner of the closet and tried to shake it. "Look, this one is heavy, isn't it?"
"Huh?" After seeing that Bei Xiang Zhijiang shook the cabinet vigorously, there was only a slight shaking, Qian Yu was taken aback, because it meant that this cabinet was indeed very heavy, and the center of gravity was also quite low, and it was even possible to be at the bottom of this wardrobe. "Is this wardrobe equipped with scales...... How did it sink to this point? ”
"Got a scale?" Conan frowned slightly, and then seemed to react suddenly. "Wait a minute, I'll think about it."
With that, Conan walked briskly to the closet, then crouched down, put his hand on the handle of the bottommost drawer, and tried to pull out—
A look of confusion flashed across the faces of Ori and Gray Hara, but at the same time, Qian Yu showed an expression of sudden realization. "Could it be—"
"Hmm-" With Conan's exertion, the bottom drawer was opened. Judging by the speed at which he pulled, the weight of this drawer is clearly quite heavy, and it has completely exceeded the weight of this drawer under normal circumstances.
So, what is it that can have such weight?
Just as Thousand Feathers and Conan were confirming the answers in their hearts, and just as Gray Plains Wai and Bei Reward Orie were wondering what was going on, just above the drawer that Conan pulled, the drawer on the upper floor suddenly moved, and it moved without Conan touching it at all!
"Hey, could it be that this is ......" Gray Yuan finally reacted.
"It won't be a living person anyway, and it's likely that we've seen it before," although his tone was very calm, Qian Yu still held the Traceless Umbrella in his hand, and gently stroked his hands on the mechanism that unfolded the Traceless Umbrella. "Don't worry too much."
Eventually, after the drawer was pulled to the end, everyone could see a wooden plank - it was supposed to be a partition between the two drawers, and it should have been fixed in the cabinet, but now it was pulled out.
Conan didn't seem surprised at all, just gently pulled the partition out.
Right in front of them, the legs of Takashi Harawaki's lifeless corpse appeared in the eyes of Conan and Otie, who were standing in front of the drawer, and Oie Ori, who was tall enough.
