Who is it?

Qian Yu quickly turned around and looked at the end of the stairs - the light of the flashlight under his armpit also shone through.

No one, as if everything was just an illusion.

Wait a minute.,It's an enclosed space.,If the entrance to the other secret passage is opened.,You might hear the wrong direction in this kind of place.。。。

Anyway, someone came in ... And it should be the murderer...

Thousand Feathers turned her head and began to explore the entire secret passage again.

When the sound of Qianyu's footsteps gradually faded, a person climbed up from the platform at the entrance of the secret passage - he had been lying on this platform that had become a blind spot for Qianyu's vision before he was not discovered.

。。。

Holding a small flashlight, Gray Yuan Ai stood in front of the door of the room where the secret passage was, and tried to open the door, but found that the door was locked. “。。。”

Wrong... If it's still locked, how did Chiba get in?

Could it be that after Qianyu went in, someone went in again?

So... Wait a minute, I remember a manservant who died while exploring the abandoned stone tower? Could it be that ...

After pondering for a moment, he walked downstairs.

Behind her, a man secretly watched her departing figure and followed.

Outside the abandoned stone tower, Gray Yuan mourned as he watched the lock at the door of the stone tower - the lock was opened.

“。。。” Gray Yuan hesitated - this lock should theoretically be locked, and if the lock is opened, then it means that someone has broken in from here...

It's a prisoner ... Chiba doesn't have a key...

Gray Yuan was about to leave, but remembered another thing.

Why did the murderer come in?

Thousand feathers pursued the murderer, and the murderer escaped? It couldn't be, if that was the case, Qian Yu would have already come out to find them.

Then there is only one possibility - the murderer opened the lock here for some purpose...

Excuse me, what did the murderer do?

Perhaps, Conan was hidden here by the murderer...

So, shouldn't the murderer be here? That murderer should be fighting against Chiba now...

Gray Yuan Wai relieved his heart and walked into the stone tower with a flashlight.

There was no furniture in the stone tower – apparently it was abandoned after the fire site was cleared.

But apparently this place has not been completely abandoned.

Gray Yuan looked at the footprints on the ground, recognizing.

It was the footprints of a small pair of shoes, and it didn't look like they belonged to a tall man.

Wait a minute... The only ones in this villa that don't fall into this category are...

Gray Yuan's brow furrowed. "How is this possible?"

The old woman?

Wrong... The rest of the people in this castle have the same condition ...

It is likely that the previous burning of the stone tower was also the work of the murderer, but that fire killed almost all the old servants, and how could the new servants have the motivation to do so?

And those who escaped the fire and had lived in that castle long enough before ...

It's only the old lady...

"Why are you here?" At this moment, the man's voice appeared behind Gray Yuanwai.

“！！！” Gray Yuan looked back in surprise, only to see the bald gardener holding a stick and questioning her with a fierce face.

didn't have time to think too much, and Gray Yuan immediately ran up the stairs in front of him.

"Don't run!" The gardener roared, grabbing his stick and chasing after Gray Plains.

There was a door at the end of the stairs, and Ash ran into it and locked the latch - fortunately it was a latch, not a lock, and as long as it was locked from the inside, the outside could not be opened anyway.

As soon as she locked the latch, the gardener slammed the door so hard that Gray Yuanwai, who had just locked the door, took a step back.

Collision, repeated collision. As the gardener kept banging on the door, Gray could even see that the latch was being knocked loose by the gardener.

"Ashbaranda?" At this moment, a surprised voice came from Gray Yuan's side.

。。。

After the passage descended to the level of the basement level, Chiba found that the passage had entered a horizontal state.

Is this to get out of the castle? From the direction, it looks like it's in the direction of the abandoned stone tower?

As we walked, there was an intersection ahead, and there was no end in sight to all three roads. Qian Yu recalled the direction of the abandoned stone tower, and chose to go to the middle road, which should lead directly to the abandoned stone tower.

A minute later, Chiba found that the passage in front of him was blocked by a stone wall inlaid with iron ring-shaped handrails, and directly above it was a one-meter-square passage, apparently designed to climb up through the handrails.

Chiba climbed up from the railing, only to see that there was a small space above, and there was a button on the side stone wall that was clearly a mechanism switch.

Qian Yu pressed the button, and with a sound, the stone wall in front began to rotate, revealing the scene behind the stone wall.

Behind the stone wall is a toilet, and the toilet door on the opposite side is wide open - outside the toilet door is a frightened look of the gray plain.

"Ashbaranda?" Qian Yu was surprised.

“！？” Gray Yuan was taken aback when he heard Qianyu's voice.

"Why are you here?" Qianyu asked. "Didn't I tell you to hide?"

"Don't talk about this yet... Gray Yuan was about to speak, but the latch of the door, which was constantly banged by the gardener, looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. "The gardener outside the door is about to break in!"

“。。。” Chiba immediately raised the Traceless Umbrella and spread it out to a mode that could shoot from a distance. "Leave it to me."

Just then, the latch was slammed open, and the gardener rushed in.

The Traceless Umbrella's launch port was aimed at the gardener, and a crossbow arrow shot out of the crossbow arrow's mouth and pierced the gardener's neck.

"Ahhh The gardener fell to the ground screaming, trying to pull out the bolts from his body, but when he pulled them out, he lay on the ground in pain, rolling desperately and wailing loudly.

Chiba stepped forward and smashed the Traceless Umbrella on the gardener's back like an iron rod - for reasons that Chiba himself couldn't explain, he didn't want to kill in front of Ash Hara, so he chose to temporarily nullify the gardener's resistance in this way.

Subsequently, Qian Yu fled from the stone tower with Gray Plains Mourning.

。。。

"Why did you come out?" Walking on the stone path outside the stone tower, Qian Yu asked again.

“。。。” Gray Yuan mourned for a moment. "Because ... Because I felt it was a shame to leave my friends like this, so I came back to you... Well, because you're friends. ”

"Okay," Chiba shrugged. "I remember you were hiding here...

Looking at the empty grass, the faces of Qian Yu and Gray Yuan Ai changed.

"What about them?" Qian Yu asked Gray Plains.

"I don't know... Gray Plains shook his head and muttered. "I really don't know ... Wait a minute... ”

Ashbara pointed to the castle's hall.

"The lights are on!"
