Chapter 212 - The Precursor to Confronting the Murderer
"Let's go back first," Qian Yu whispered in Gray Yuan's ear after glancing to the side to make sure that no one should be peeking. "Hold everyone steady and pretend we think he just doesn't know where to hide, or we'll all die here..."
"It seems that Edogawa may have disappeared to scare us, maybe we wait for him to run out on his own." After listening to Chiha's whisper, Gray Yuan Wai immediately said to Mitsuhiko very calmly.
"Is that so?" Mitsuhiko was stunned. "Hmm... It seems to make sense... β
"Don't worry," Qian Yu also comforted. "As long as you keep moving together, you don't feel like you're going to be scared by Conan."
As long as they act together, the prisoners probably won't go to them... I hope so...
When Mitsuhiko went to find Ayumi and Motota and disappeared into the stairs, Chiba glanced at her phone. "It's not good... There is no signal here ... β
"What about emergency calls?" Gray Plains asked. The mobile phones purchased by both of them have the latest settings, and the alarm number will be set as a special number by the mobile phone application provider. If the full signal strength of the normal mobile phone is 100, then in the case of a signal lower than 20, the signal of the base station and the mobile phone will not be stable, and the base station needs to constantly reconnect with the mobile phone, which will seriously increase the workload of the signal base station, so the base station will set 20 as the mobile phone no signal gear for cost considerations - as long as the mobile phone signal does not exceed 20, the mobile phone will show no signal.
However, for humanitarian reasons, as long as the signal exceeds 15 β which allows the base station to talk at all costs β then emergency calls can be made.
βγγγβ Qianyu directly dialed the police number, but found that the alarm phone stayed in the dialing interface, but it was not connected. "The emergency call doesn't work either...
"Landline?" Gray Plains frowned.
"In that case, it's likely to startle the snake... Qian Yu shook his head. "Oh my God... I suddenly feel like we're in trouble...
"The most important thing is to identify who our enemy is... Gray Yuan Wai clasped his hands in front of his chest. "If there's only one person, then there's a chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation...
"Even if there is only one person, it is easy to dodge with an open gun, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden arrow." Qian Yu said helplessly. "What's more, if there's more than one person here, I may not be able to deal with it...
At this moment, Qian Yu suddenly fell silent and looked at the corner of the corridor not far away. βοΌβ
"What's wrong?" Ash Yuan Ai also looked over there.
"Uhhh Qianyu's expression was a little uncertain. "It seems like I misheard... Don't think about it yet, if Conan can escape on his own, then we just need to know what happened from him and do it. If Conan himself hadn't escaped ... Then we'll ask for a tank of gas, and we'll leave here and call the police. β
"Can't you secretly use the landline here to call the police?" Gray Plains Wai proposes a plan.
"Don't do it even if you can..." Qian Yu shook his head. "I don't want to take that risk."
"If we get out of here, Conan will be in big trouble!" Gray Plains mourns against it.
"I know!" Qianyu said anxiously. βγγγ In that case, you leave here to call the police, and I will stay here and do it directly to them... β
"You can't deal with too much aloneβ" Before Ash Yuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Yu.
"Do you want to kill me?" Qianyu's expression had changed to suppressed rage. "If I need to protect you, I'll be restrained! It's the best choice for me to stay here alone! β
Without warning, Chiba grabbed Gray Hara's shoulder. "I need you, you go back safely, understand!?"
βγγγβ Gray Yuan's gaze dimmed, and he pursed his lips and nodded.
"Whew..." Qian Yu let out a long breath, and his tone softened. "I'm sorry... I was a little emotionally out of control just now... Let's gather them together and then talk to Dr. Asasa ... β
Just like that, Gray Plains and Thousand Feathers left here.
After about half a minute, the doorknob of the locked door slowly turned. A man stepped out, his steps quick, but barely sound.
Chiha, who had an auxiliary unit attached to it just now, almost discovered it through his senses, but he finally managed to escape Chiha's perception with his breath holding and other skills.
Behind this person, the hands on the wall clock on the wall were gone, presumably by someone who had removed them.

A few hours later, it's time for dinner. Dr. Asa and Chiba went to the restaurant under the guidance of the maid. I saw that the only son of Aman and Zhenzhao was already sitting at the table.
"Hasn't Conan shown up yet?" Ayumi asked.
"Nope." Mitsuhiko shook his head. "I don't think something is right, something can't happen to Conan, right?"
"Why, haven't you found your friends yet?" Aman was surprised to hear their conversation. "This shouldn't be...
"There's a lot of fun in this castle, maybe your friends found something interesting and forgot the time there, right?"
"I just hope he doesn't go out and goes to the abandoned tower over there... Aman said thoughtfully.
"Abandoned Tower?" Mitsuhiko, Motota, and Ayumi all looked at Aman, thinking about what he had just said.
"It's an abandoned stone tower next to the castle," Aman explained. "It used to be the apartment of the late lady, but it was abandoned due to a fire a few years ago."
"I remember that one of the servants we hired here two years ago disappeared there."
"After he disappeared at the time, we searched for a long time, and finally found that he and a maid he knew well had revealed that there must be something strange in the tower. When we heard about this, we immediately went to the tower to search, and although we found traces of the man entering, we found no trace of him. β
"A few days later, we asked the police for help and finally found the servant's body in the dense forest next to the tower... He was starved to death. β
"Uhhh Ayumi and the others had very ugly faces. "If we couldn't find Conan, would he starve to death like that man?"
"Then let's go out and look for it after we've eaten," Aman said. "If you can't find him, then it's a bad thing."
βγγγβ Qian Yu looked at Aman and Zhenzhao's only son, and pursed her lips.
They should indeed go to Conan, but not to the stone tower, but in the castle.
