[Detective Conan] If the Yuanshan family gave birth to a boy

14.

The room with the viola hanging in the field of vision was suddenly replaced by a thick darkness.

This mechanism can just pass through one person, and the rotation is so sudden and fast that Toyama Rin was not prepared at all. After losing his center of gravity and flashing in, he took several steps back, and then inevitably fell to the ground.

He heard the sound of the wooden boards under him, and there was a damp and musty texture under his palms, like a cabin in the mountains that no one cared about for a hundred years, as if it would collapse in a second.

So he didn't care about the pain in his body, and immediately got up and planned to retreat to the wall, but just as he took a step, the wooden board under his feet broke.

"Being—"

Before he could finish speaking, the feeling of weightlessness made a long "ah—" replace the following content.

Had Hattori Heiji been there, he would have called him a fool.This is the same as lying on the ice is much safer than standing. If he had maintained the contact surface just now, he might not have fallen.But this can't be blamed on Rin, after all, he was stunned after he suddenly fell in, and he couldn't take into account so many principles of physics.

The reality is that coincidence is puzzling.

When a person falls from above and just steps on the edge of the steps, the legs are not enough to stabilize the center of gravity.So Rin Toyama not only experienced what it means to be injured, but also fell to the steps below at a very dangerous angle.

Fortunately, his reflexes finally caught up, and he supported the stone steps in front of him with his left hand to avoid hitting his head on the stone.

Consciousness froze for a moment.When Toyama Rin regained his senses, his brain was completely filled with painful information.

Because he fell sideways and is now in an awkward position of "legs on the top of the steps and head down", it took twice as long to sit up as usual.

Toyama Rin threw aside the broken wooden boards that fell on him, and his right fingertips went all the way down the calf, every centimeter he moved was afraid that he would touch a broken bone poked out of the flesh later .

Fortunately, it turned out that he was thinking too much.

The bone was not broken, probably a sprain.Moving a little bit is like someone drilling a hundred and eighty metal drill bits into it from all directions at the same time, and it hurts and sweats all over.

Although Toyama Rin is not in good health, he has not been injured much. ——I have never experienced such things as dislocations, broken knees, and cut hands with knives. However, that guy in Heiji has been injured all the time since he was a child. Every time he gets injured, he complains that he would rather be sick than get hurt. Toyama Rin felt helpless when he heard the words.

"It means you have never been seriously ill."

Heiji retorted: "That's because you have never experienced the feeling of being stabbed."

……

Talk like you've been stabbed.

Rin Toyama leaned against the wall, suddenly thought of this matter, and sighed in his heart that Heiji hadn't "broken his legs", but he was honored first.

……

Ah, anyway, he felt that he was no different from a broken leg, he couldn't walk and was in so much pain.

There was a musty smell in the air, which made people feel a little sick.

After Toyama Rin got used to it, he removed the cloth covering his mouth and nose, and freed his hand to touch his pocket. ——He is used to putting his mobile phone in the back pocket of his jeans just like Heji, but after all the troubles just now, the mobile phone inside has gone to nowhere.It was really difficult to get it back, because there was no light at all around, and it was really invisible, as if his whole body was nailed to death in a coffin.In this case, I'm afraid I have to touch it inch by inch with my hands. Toyama Rin refused.

Although he is not very afraid of the dark, according to the various movies he has watched, it is not surprising that there are things in the dark passages in this kind of castle, such as rusted medieval armor, large coffins, various Corpse or bones—

Toyama Rin felt that if he touched something soft and warm later, he would probably collapse on the spot.

So just sit like this?Certainly not.

Toyama Rin thought for a while. ——Touch it, if he really can't touch it, then he can only think of other ways.He didn't want to stay here and die of thirst and starvation.

So Rin could only bite the bullet and drag his injured leg to kneel on the ground and touch it by feeling. —Honestly, there is little hope.He didn't know how big the space around him was at this moment.For Rin Toyama, who is super road-crazy, he may not even be able to find his original position after a while.

Maybe Rin Toyama's proud guard finally played a role in improving his luck.After touching countless stones of different sizes, soft moss, wooden boards that fell with him, and the hard shell of a suspected small rodent skull, he finally found his mobile phone.

The screen was cracked like a spider web, and some light leaked from the side.The touch screen is no longer allowed, but there will be a response anyway.The battery is still full because he just charged it last night, and there is a big "no signal" sign in the upper right corner. ——meaning that his hope of contacting Hattori Heiji by phone or email was extinguished like a candle blown by a strong wind.

……

At least he has a light source, which is much better than being blind all the time.

It is now [-]:[-] in the morning, and by calculation, he has been looking for his phone below for more than an hour, and he doesn't know if he wakes up next time, or if he will find himself missing.

Rin Toyama sighed. ——This is all bad luck.

Although if he stays firmly in Osaka this time to live his life as an ordinary high school student, he is definitely not the one who is unlucky.However, if Hattori Heiji was allowed to come to Aomori alone, if he fell in like himself, it would probably be really cold.

Thinking that the fool Heiji might die in the end for no reason, Toyama Rin felt that it would be better for him to follow that fool Heiji in the future. ——Helping the police is also helping, right?

Besides, since there is really a mechanism, it is very likely that the old man hid things here.

But having said that... the stairs above the head are so fragile, it is estimated that no one has walked by them for a long time.The damp water vapor around it has eroded it like a large piece of mica stone, and it will shatter when it is stressed. How could the old man hide things here.

Or, think on a brighter note. ——There is more than one passage, and the one the old man walked on is at the other end.

Rin Toyama turned on the flashlight and shone it on the top of his head, and found that the place where he fell was not very high, about six or seven meters, and looked like a two-story building.And the studio is on the second floor, so he should be underground at this time.

It is impossible to go back the same way. The stairs basically fell down with him, and there was a difference of three or four meters between the stone steps. Even if the leg was not injured, he would not be able to jump up. If you yell for help with a broken voice, will anyone hear you?

……

In short, try it first.

So for the next hour or so, Rin Toyama tried to send a message to the outside world.

If you can shout, you can shout, and if your voice can't stand it, you can use stones or wooden boards to knock out the "SOS" signal on the wall, but there is no movement at all.

If it goes on like this, maybe he will be exhausted and no one will notice. ——It’s probably the feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

But Rin Toyama is not the kind of guy who would give up easily.If asking for help doesn't work, then help yourself.The other leg is fine, not the worst.

He rested for a few minutes, dimmed the flashlight to save power, then stood up leaning on the wall and walked towards the dark corridor opposite.I don't know if it's something in his mind, but the corridor ahead is as terrifying as a monster's mouth wide open, and it seems that even the air inside is a bit dirty.

……

"Why on earth do I watch so many horror movies?"

Rin Toyama said to himself, closing his eyes fiercely, and opening them again after a while.

If I find my way, let that idiot treat me to takoyaki for a month.If he refuses I'll beat him to death. ——The black-haired boy thought about emboldening himself, gritted his teeth and plunged into the darkness.

————————————————————————————————————————

Hattori Heiji was woken up by screams in the corridor.

It seemed to be the detective's intuition. After hearing that voice, his originally loose nerves tensed immediately. He threw off the quilt, put on his clothes, and hurried to the diagonally opposite room.

The detective that the second son Himeji Mitsuyuki had found died in his room, with a sharpened violin bow pierced through his throat.The carpet was covered with splashes of blood, all of which had solidified and turned reddish brown.From the degree of stiffness of the deceased's body, it can be preliminarily inferred that he died around eleven o'clock last night. In addition, his expression was terrified, and he lay down on the carpet, with five fingers of his right hand stretching out towards the door, indicating that he was murdered. And the murderer left the room swaggeringly after that, and closed the door.

After checking the body with another detective, Hattori Heiji planned to ask everyone in the castle what they did yesterday. Even Keiko, who had been staying behind closed doors, came, but Rin Toyama and that apprentices. —the latter has not been seen since supper.And Rin disappeared before Heiji woke up.

Mr. Butler went to look for the apprentice. At the same time, Hattori Heiji called his friend, but he didn't get through.

Where did he go?

Hattori Heiji's complexion was very bad.

Someone was killed in the room, but he couldn't be contacted when confirming the alibi.Naturally Rin Toyama couldn't be the murderer, so Heiji couldn't help but wonder if his friend was also murdered like this poor detective...

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

"...Anyway, call the police first."

The bad news is that the torrential rain last night caused a landslide. ——The Aomori prefectural police are temporarily unable to arrive and need to wait for the road to be cleared.

On the other hand, everyone searched the entire small castle but did not find the two people.

The gate was locked, and they couldn't get out without the key, but they weren't in any room in the castle, where could they be?

From eight o'clock in the morning to the afternoon, the mobile phone was buzzing and no one answered it.

Hattori Heiji felt his stomach churning, as if he could spit out the food he just ate.

He didn't dare to drag his thoughts to consider all kinds of bad possibilities.He had seen so many dead bodies since he had decided to be a detective, but the thought of meeting his best friend terrified him.

But he won't give up, absolutely not. ——That was his Hattori Heiji's best friend.

[I will definitely find you. ——Be sure to have nothing to do before this! 】

————————————————————————————————————————

Toyama Rin is a super big road idiot, the kind who almost got lost when he came home from school on the first day of high school.At that time, Hattori Heiji laughed at him for a long time.

But what can be done?He just couldn't tell the north from the south, and didn't know the way.

This ridiculous reason made him grope underground for a long time before he discovered this new corridor.

The surrounding temperature was very low, mixed with water vapor covering his skin, which made him feel uncomfortable with goose bumps all over his body.And because of shouting for too long just now, after coughing a few times, he seemed to be able to smell the salty rust, and the pain was even sharper than the previous few days.

disturbed.Lonely.fear.The annoyance of returning to the origin again and again, and the growing sense of despair.

He walked non-stop for more than two hours with his injuries, and no matter who was alone in this environment, he would be oppressed and out of breath.

[I don't want to move anymore. 】

Toyama Rin slowly slid down against the wall and sat on the ground, feeling his throat was a little congested.

Seeing that the phone had only 50.00% battery left due to the continuous lighting, he suddenly wanted to cry, but felt that it would be embarrassing to cry. After some self-deprecation, the tears could not fall.

It was like being abandoned by the whole world, and I lost my sense of security.

Probably because of sitting down, the injury on his right leg didn't hurt like it did a few minutes ago. All he knew was the drowsiness that swept over him like a tide, so he didn't even care about how much dust fell on the ground now. , just want to follow the instinct to lie down and sleep.

Maybe when he woke up again, he could see the ceiling with the wall covering and hear Hattori Heiji's tireless complaints in his ear.

Maybe there's still that delicious bisque to drink from last night.

……

I'm not a little match boy.

When the consciousness gradually gathered, Toyama Rin thought so.
