Stay away from Conan

Chapter 508: Agency Door

"Why...are you here?"

Kidd, who was weak and his lips were starting to turn white, couldn't help but force himself to say after seeing who the person was.

"Qingzi...what's wrong with her?"

"Don't worry, I'm just letting her sleep for now."

The figure who came here, Gao Yuan, who was wearing a blue windbreaker, couldn't help but explain:

"If I hadn't done this, with your current appearance, this young lady from Officer Zhongmori's family would have almost discovered that your current face is your true appearance."

"Ah--"

However, Kidd didn't seem to appreciate it, and responded slightly stubbornly:

"Even if you don't come, I can handle such a small matter in one go!"

In response, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly, shook his head and said:

"That's easy to say... There was such an obvious smell of disinfectant in the first room. Is your blood stained there? If the police discover this, even if you have dealt with it, evidence will still be left behind. of."

"If... this kind of thing is really discovered, we can just sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department afterwards and replace the samples taken by the police..."

Kidd struggled to hold on, but his face still showed a hint of pain as he said.

"You guy..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan was helpless. He took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, poured out a pill, leaned down, and brought it to Kidd's mouth——

"Take the painkillers first. You look like you are seriously injured..."

"Why...I would like to ask you why you keep this kind of medicine with you..."

After swallowing the pills, Kidd said sarcastically as if he didn't want to show weakness in front of Gao Yuan.

"Don't get me wrong. If Miss Koizumi hadn't said that you had fallen into someone else's trap and were injured and in danger, I wouldn't have prepared so many things."

Gao Yuan explained:

"Mr. Terai is now dealing with the blood stains in the first room... I originally brought a reagent that can remove the iron element in the blood stains, but looking at the structure of the room, it would be easier to just remove the blood stains... After all, , all the rooms that trap you are newly built buildings within the original building..."

Saying this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but change the topic and asked:

"Speaking of which, do you know where you are now?"

"snort--"

Hearing this question, Kidd couldn't help but have a smug smile on his lips, and couldn't help but say:

"Shanni Temple, Investment Hall."

"Oh, you noticed?"

Gao Yuan said without saying much about the surprise.

"Of course……"

Kidd struggled, slightly adjusted his posture against the wall, and then said with a wry smile:

"I've been plotted to this extent. If I haven't figured it out yet, then I'm not 'Phantom Thief Kidd' anymore! That old nun... I should have figured it out earlier. Only she can bring out the fake Guanyin statue." I will steal it and open the mechanism impartially at that time..."

"kindness……"

Gao Yuan nodded in agreement and explained:

"The structure of the museum was created by 'Arisato Housing and Construction', and 'Arisato Housing and Construction' was also responsible for the renovation of the Sanni Temple's investment hall. So, if we connect these clues, it is easy to make the connection There is a possibility that the person in charge of Aristo Housing and Construction colluded with the abbot of Shanni Temple..."

Saying this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at the door on the wall over there that was full of keyholes and looked a bit dated, and added:

"Although I didn't know the reason before... Judging from the current situation, the other party's purpose may be to let you open the agency door... In short, let's take advantage of the moment to guard the Arisato Housing and Construction here. I've just taken care of him, and the police and the nun haven't come yet, so you'd better retreat first."

"We have come to this point, and I won't give up until I fully understand what is behind that door!"

With that said, it seemed that the painkillers had taken effect. Kidd was able to stand up, and his expression was not as painful as before when he came to the machine door——

"Such an exaggerated structure really looks a bit like the masterpiece of Kichiemon Sansui..."

Looking at this door from a close distance, there were a hundred keyholes on the door, neatly arranged in a "10*10" square array. Kidd couldn't help but sigh, then he took out a piece of wire from his pocket and slowly Slowly walked outside the door frame, stretched out his hand and casually inserted the wire into one of the keyholes——

"If you want to verify whether it belongs to Sansui Kichiemon, just look like this..."

Hearing what Kidd said, Gao Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly and subconsciously retreated away from the direction facing the machine door.

Then, just after Kidd inserted the iron wire into the keyhole, an iron needle about two meters long was pierced out of a hundred keyholes——

A hundred iron needles were pierced out like this. It is estimated that if anyone stood in front of this machine door, anyone would be pierced into a hedgehog in an instant.

When iron needles were inserted into all the keyholes, a small square hole was opened directly above all the keyholes. A mechanical hand stretched out from the small hole, and along with it was a small square hole held by the mechanical hand. Hold the folding fan.

When the manipulator reached a length of about two meters, the fan also opened. Two Chinese characters - "success or failure" - were written vertically on the folding fan.

Then, all the iron needles and manipulators were retracted into the agency door, as if nothing happened.

"This style..."

Seeing this, Gao Yuan is almost certain——

This gate must also be the work of Kichiemon Sansui!

After all, after the mechanism is maliciously opened, the folding fan that comes with defensive measures, like a taunt, is the same as the big treasury "Iron Fox" owned by Suzuki Jirokichi in the original work.

"It is indeed the masterpiece of Sansui Kichiemon..."

Looking back on the scene just now with some helplessness, Kidd couldn't help but said:

"Then now, it's time to try to open this door and see what the old nun tried to get me here for!"

Kidd walked back to the agency door and said angrily.

"Are the holes that repeat on the left and right the real thing?"

In this regard, after hearing what Kidd said, Gao Yuan came up with some curiosity. When he saw the words written on the door handle, he couldn't help but think about it and said:

"A ten by ten square, repeated left and right... In Sansui Kichiemon's style, this wouldn't mean opening a few keyholes in the square, and these keyholes could just form some words, right? "

Saying this, Takato couldn't help but think of the "Yōkai Warehouse" in the original work, which was also the masterpiece of Sansui Kichiemon. The way to open the mechanism is to combine the Chinese characters "Sansui" by arranging different arrangements on the mechanism.

"It seems...you know a lot about Sansui Kichiemon..."

Hearing this, Kidd couldn't help but said in surprise:

"I think so too. Judging from the prompts, it is estimated that the Chinese characters for 'left' and 'right' should be written in this square matrix. As long as the keyhole at the overlap is opened, the door may be opened."

Kidd thought about it and couldn't help but analyze it this way.

"The difference between 'left' and 'right' lies in the 'work' and 'mouth' below. When they are overlapped, the same parts should form 'た'..."

"You...could it be that you are Chinese?"

Suddenly, while Gao Yuan was still analyzing, Kidd suddenly looked at Gao Yuan and asked with a slightly strange feeling...
