The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 402 It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words

Qian Jiangyi himself knew this.

So, why?

Why did he openly question Bai Masong and even withdraw from this group of people?

As a jeweler who was able to do business with Shiro Suzuki, he was naturally not the kind of person who would easily fall for Bai Basong's provocation.

So, he still did it, it was just that he had his own little thoughts.

Perhaps he thought there was treasure on the other side, or perhaps he felt he had figured out the mechanisms of the castle, so he became interested in the jewels here again.

None of this matters, at least not to the people present.

That's why Bai Masong said that Qian Jiangyi was just being clever.

The more you try to cover up something, the more obvious it becomes.

Moreover, Qian Jiangyi was totally unaware of the seriousness of the matter. Among their group of people, there was Shi Kaobing.

Qian Jiangyi had just said bad things about Rasputin, and then he wanted to work alone. It was a bit unreasonable for Shi Kaobing not to target him.

Bai Masong had asked everyone to stay where they were before, with the purpose of making it less easy for Shi Kaobing to kill people. After all, he was still a policeman and had some kindness in his heart.

but......

Bai Masong's eyes turned cold. It was impossible to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. Since Qian Jiangyi left on his own this time, he would have to bear the consequences himself.

As Bai Masong was thinking this, the people around him had already started looking for a mechanism to crack the bronze door.

"Hey? Dad, there's a two-headed bird on the door."

Xiaolan pointed to the center of the bronze door and said to Mouri Kogoro.

"That is the symbol of the Russian royal family - the two-headed eagle. Look at the two-headed eagle. Is there a crown on it? That should be the symbol of the royal family."

Kogoro Maori explained to Xiaolan casually.

While he was explaining, he and others were searching around the bronze door for something that could open the mechanism.

"White Bird, give me the flashlight."

Bai Ma Song said to "Shiratori Renzaburo".

"it is good."

After hearing this, "Shiratori Renzaburo" didn't ask any questions and directly gave the flashlight to Bai Masong.

As soon as Baimasong took the flashlight, he focused the light directly on the crown of the two-headed eagle.

His action immediately caused everyone's confusion, only Conan and "Shiratori Renzaburo" thought of the magic mirror before and seemed to understand something.

"Baima, you are..."

Just as Kogoro Mori was about to say something, the ground began to shake violently again.

This time, the shock felt familiar to everyone.

Because this feeling is the same as when Bai Masong entered the password in the study before, and then the underground passage opened.

Of course, it's not exactly the same.

This time the shock will be even more violent!

At this time, the entire underground passage had not been renovated, so the violent shaking caused a lot of powder to be shaken out of the surrounding environment. There were also small stones of various sizes falling on everyone's heads.

This violent tremor made everyone present terrified.

However, everyone didn't have to wait too long.

Amidst the violent shaking, this mechanism that had been buried for many years began to slowly start up.

Outside the bronze door, an open space of about ten square meters began to slowly descend, along with Hakuba Matsu and Maori Kogoro who were on it.

Facing this situation, Hakuba Matsu remained calm and stood straight, but Maori Kogoro was shaking in his heart and his legs were trembling.

The people on the stage behind them were looking at them with worry.

However, the uneasy mood did not last long, as the mechanism fully revealed its appearance - the ground in front sank, and the ground behind slowly opened to both sides like building blocks, revealing a stone staircase for people to walk on.

"boom!"

With a heavy sound, the operation of the mechanism came to an end.

In front of everyone, a stone staircase leading downwards appeared. It can be seen that this stone staircase is connected to the passage below, through which one can pass through the bronze door above.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the passage before them, which did not seem to be opened by a mechanism but had always been there.

"It's incredible!"

Siruouf once again expressed his heartfelt emotion.

Listening to his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, come down quickly!"

Maori Kogoro stood on the stone slab below and shouted to the people above who seemed to be standing still in shock.

"Victory is at hand!"

"I'm coming."

"Shiratori Ninzaburo" answered Maori Kogoro's words first, then ran down the stone steps quickly.

The people on the stage followed suit.

After walking two or three steps along the passage opened by the mechanism, I reached the end.

As everyone expected, there was no road behind this bronze door, and behind it was a closed room.

Of course, it is not quite appropriate to say that it is a room here.

Because this place is more like a small sacrificial church!

Except for the entrance where everyone came in, the entire room is circular in shape, and the top is capped by a dome.

In short, everyone at this moment seemed to be inside a giant egg.

In the front, closest to the interior of the room, there is a statue of a female deity wearing a long robe and bowing her head in a gesture of pity. On the left and right sides of the statue, there are two statues of angels with wings on their backs.

At the feet of the statue, facing the crowd, stood a cross.

However, the most eye-catching thing in the entire room is not the three sculptures of gods, but a coffin.

The coffin was located in the center of the room, with a golden lock on it. It was placed horizontally on a small bridge, and underneath it was a pool of water.

The whole environment does not have a trace of darkness or coldness from the dead, but is filled with tranquility that comes from the soul.

On the ground in front of the bridge where the coffin was placed, there was a small stone pier about as tall as Conan, which seemed to be used to place something.

Hakuba Matsu and Maori Kogoro entered the room first. Hakuba Matsu observed that there were several candlesticks for lighting on both sides of the bridge.

So, Hakuba Song took out a lighter and said to Maori Kogoro,

"Mr. Maori, there are several candlesticks on both sides. Let's light them up."

"Ah good."

Kogoro Mouri nodded. He had never turned off his lighter since entering the underground passage, so he lit up the surrounding candlesticks directly.
