Chapter 566 Eternal life?
Halfway up the mountain.
After about ten minutes' drive, the people in the car finally saw the general outline of the suspension bridge.
However, the scene before their eyes was like a heavy hammer, causing everyone's hearts to sink into a bottomless abyss in an instant.
The suspension bridge had been completely blown up, with only a few broken ropes left, swaying helplessly in the storm. The bottomless abyss under the bridge was like a huge open bloody mouth, as if it could swallow everything mercilessly at any time.
"Hey, it was really blown to pieces!" Kogoro Mori got out of the car, bent down to carefully check the condition of the suspension bridge, and couldn't help smacking his lips.
"It seems that the other party is determined to trap us here to death." Mogi Haruki put his hands in his pockets, and a trace of uncontrollable anger flashed in his eyes.
Hattori Heiji remained silent, his eyes fixed on the broken suspension bridge, his mind rapidly thinking of countermeasures.
And just as the three of them were concentrating on checking the situation, Chikan Kyoudai, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at the three figures in front of him, and suddenly an elusive smile appeared on his haggard face.
"Mrs. Qianjian, please switch the headlights to low beams. I want to check the situation at my feet..."
"boom!!!"
Hattori Heiji just turned around and wanted to ask Chima Kyouyo to switch the lights, but before he could finish his words, he heard an extremely loud explosion.
The strong shock wave caused by the explosion almost caused the three people in front of the suspension bridge to slip and fall.
Before they could steady themselves, they saw that the yellow car driven by Chikan Kyoudai had turned into a sea of burning fire in the explosion.
And the sea of fire was rushing towards them with great momentum.
Fortunately, the three of them reacted very quickly.
After successfully dodging the attacking car, they could only watch as the car carrying Qianjian Jiangdai fell off the cliff. They then hurriedly ran to the broken bridge and stretched their heads to check the situation below the cliff.
"Ms. Senma...Ms. Senma!!" Kogoro Mouri, who was confused, shouted desperately towards the bottom of the cliff in panic.
Hattori Heiji and Mogi Harufumi looked at each other, as if they were thinking about something, and they both sneered meaningfully at the same time.
at the same time,
In the dense forest nearby, a dark shadow was quietly watching the three people beside the broken bridge.
……
……
"Where is the treasure, treasure? Come out, treasure, treasure~"
"La la la la la la la la la~"
He Ye and Xiao Lan were holding hands and looking around excitedly. The eyes of these two curious girls were shining with great anticipation.
“Is there really a treasure here?”
"Of course."
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping over the old furniture in the hall and the mottled paintings on the walls, "But treasures are not so easy to find."
Xiao Ai followed him and asked in a low voice: "Do you already know where the treasure is?"
Hanyu Kusunoki did not answer directly, but just squeezed her hand gently, signaling her to be patient.
Behind them, Kurohane Chikage, who was dressed as Gunda Ikumi, looked at Hanyu Kusunoki and Haibara Ai who were talking with their heads tilted in front of them, pursed her red lips, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Conan looked around cautiously.
Kuroba Kaito, disguised as Hakuba Tan, and the maid Ishihara Ami have disappeared since returning to the annex.
"Let's split up and look for clues," Hanyu Kusunoki clapped his hands and suggested, "But be careful, there may be a lot of traps hidden in this annex."
Although it was not mentioned in the anime at the time, such a huge Dusk Villa is definitely not made of just gold.
"Go go go go go!!!"
"Here comes the treasure!"
After getting Hanyu Nan's permission, he and Ye Lima grabbed Xiaolan and ran upstairs happily.
The purpose of their coming here today is to search for treasure.
Conan glanced at Hanyu Kusunoki, who was leisurely eating a plate of snacks with Haibara Ai beside her, and walked to the side while wondering why Hattori and the others had not returned yet.
Everyone performed their duties and began to search around the villa.
Kuroba Chikage also carried a bottle of luminol reagent and sprayed it here and there.
Maintaining the current character is the basic rule of a Phantom Thief.
Before finishing a plate of snacks, Hanyu Nan heard Xiaolan's cry from upstairs.
"Nan, come quickly, I think I found the mechanism."
Hearing the shout, before Hanyu Kusunoki could react, a figure beside him rushed towards the second floor at lightning speed as if being chased by a vicious dog.
"..."
"Has he always been so brave?"
Xiao Ai looked at the little white mouse number one who had already run to the second floor and made a speechless complaint.
"Otherwise~"
Hanyu Kusunoki shrugged, not surprised.
……
……
On the second floor, in a spacious study.
Xiaolan and Kazuha were standing in front of a huge bookshelf with great interest. A pile of taken books were placed randomly on the ground. Conan was standing on tiptoe and trying to see what was going on.
Noticing Hanyu Nan coming in, Xiaolan turned around excitedly, "Nan, come and take a look, there seems to be something here."
She pointed to a secret compartment at the back of the bookshelf, her eyes full of surprise. This was what she had discovered when she accidentally took down a book that seemed to have not been opened for a long time while looking for clues.
"As expected of you, Xiaolan."
Hanyu Nan walked over and rubbed Xiaolan's head, who looked like she was trying to take credit. Looking at the secret compartment in the bookshelf that would be missed if one didn't look carefully, he inexplicably wanted to laugh.
Is this the European Emperor?
Qianjian Jiangdai bought the building of Dusk Villa for such a long time without discovering the mechanism, but his daughter Xiaolan discovered it just by walking around.
What is good fortune!!!
"Hehe~ That book happened to be the one I always wanted to read, so I took it down and read it."
Being praised, Xiaolan smiled a little embarrassedly.
He Ye urged anxiously, "Nan, try and see if this is the treasure we are looking for."
"it is good."
Hanyu Kusunoki nodded, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the secret compartment. With a "click" sound, a small compartment popped out.
“482 martyrs in sixty years.”
Hanyu Kusunoki casually took out a piece of blood written on the yellowed paper. The words "eternal life" and "alchemy" looked hideous and terrifying. "What a moving obsession."
It seems that the organization had considered the mystical side in order to find a way to achieve immortality. However, in Detective Conan's world, the spiritual energy had been cut off, so they eventually had to give up this option and turn to the Church of Science.
For example, developing aptx4869.
He Ye took the parchment from Hanyu Kusunoki, looked at it for a few seconds, and found that he couldn't understand it at all, so he handed it to Ai who was very interested in it.
"What does it mean?"
"Where's the treasure you promised me? Why is there only a piece of paper?"
He Ye was almost unable to hold back her curses. They came here to look for treasure, the kind of shiny, golden treasure, not this kind of inexplicable, incomprehensible eternal life.
Their family has no shortage of eternal life.
