Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 257: Secret Room in the Annex

After Yuichi Shiina dismantled the bomb, several people started to insert coins in tacit understanding, and Yuichi Shiina felt relieved.

"As long as the car is fine, they will drive back when they see the broken bridge. I can then stuff the gold lump into the car."

Shiina Yuichi thought to himself.

Soon, the group that would go to check the Broken Bridge was decided to be Chikan Kyouyo, Mogi Harushi, and Uncle Mori. They immediately set off in a car.

"Brother Yuichi." Mao Lilan's tone was full of worry, "Will Dad and the others be okay?"

"Well...it's hard for others to say, but your dad will definitely be fine." Shiina Yuichi said casually.

Although she didn't know where the basis of Yuichi Shiina's words came from, out of trust in him, Ran Mouri didn't say anything more.

After Uncle Maori and his companions left, the only people waiting at the scene were students and women.

Yuichi Shiina suggested that everyone could go to other rooms in the annex and take a look, perhaps there would be other discoveries.

As he spoke, he indicated that he would go to the second floor in the southwest corner to take a look.

After hearing this, several people felt that it made some sense and dispersed.

But Ran Mouri has been following Yuichi Shiina, which gives Yuichi Shiina a headache.

It's hard for me to do anything while she's around.

But thinking that Mouri Ran was timid, Shiina Yuichi didn't want to chase her away.

Just follow.

Yuichi Shiina took Ran Mouri for a stroll in the annex. When passing by the room he had stayed in before, he suddenly noticed a crack on the wall next to him.

But before this, Yuichi Shiina did not notice that there was anything wrong with the wall.

Moreover, the gap was very thin and straight, and Shiina You pressed the wall subconsciously.

With a little force, the wall was pushed open a lot along the gap.

Shiina Yuichi's eyes suddenly widened.

No, this is a broken wall.

Can it be pushed open like this?

I...can't afford to pay for it.

Naturally, Ran Mouri also noticed Shiina Yuichi's actions.

"Brother Youyi, you are so strong." She covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise.

The corner of Shiina Yuichi's mouth twitched slightly. This really wasn't done by him, but...

He moved a little closer to the wall, and suddenly a cool breeze brushed his cheek.

windy?

Shiina Yuichi had a strange expression on his face. He used all his strength again and pushed the wall open little by little until it turned into an openable stone door.

"Where is this place?" Mao Lilan asked in a nervous voice.

Upon hearing this, Shiina Yuichi did not respond immediately, but silently looked around the secret room.

The part he pushed open has pulleys at the upper and lower positions, otherwise he would not be able to open this place with his strength.

And on the edge of the stone gate, he found some powder.

It's cement...

This shows that someone had deliberately blocked this stone gate.

After making some discoveries, Yuichi Shiina began to carefully observe the interior of the secret room.

There are walls all around, and in the center there is a stone staircase extending downwards. It is pitch black and has no end in sight.

Shiina Yuichi walked out of the secret room and looked curiously at the room he had been in before.

The two places are separated by only a wall, so why didn't he discover this place when he was cutting gold before?

Yuichi Shiina returned to the secret room and looked at the place carefully. He found that the space of the secret room was relatively small overall.

The place where he cut the gold avoided the area involved, so he did not discover this small space.

Soon, Shiina Yuichi's attention was focused on the stone stairs.

Although it was pitch black inside, Shiina Yuichi was not afraid. Instead, he felt a strong curiosity.

Normally, when most people encounter unknown things, fear will prevail.

For example, Maori Lan.

But there are exceptions, such as Yuichi Shiina.

He firmly believed that there must be something underneath, and it must be very valuable!

After all, this entrance is so troublesome.

Seeing Shiina Yuichi's eager expression, Mao Li Ran became a little panicked.

"Brother Youyi, you're not going to go in, are you?"

"It looks so eerie in here," said Mao Lilan.

Shiina Yuichi smiled and said, "Of course, puzzles are... the most tempting for detectives. Why don't you go find someone else, Xiaolan?"

After saying this, Mao Lilan looked at the dark corridor and shook her head like a rattle.

"I'll stay with Brother Yuichi." Ran Mouri nodded and held the corner of Yuichi Shiina's clothes tightly with both hands.

Shiina Yuichi didn't say much and walked into the secret room. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no lighting tools.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should meet up with the others first to get a flashlight or something, and send Mao Li Ran to meet up with the others.

Mao Lilan carefully handed over a watch.

Shiina Yuichi took it and found that it was the high-tech watch used by the detective team.

He looked at Mao Lilan with a strange look again.

The other party laughed and said, "It was given to me by Dr. Agasa before."

Shiina Yuu nodded slightly and didn't say much. After all, the biggest problem had been solved.

The stone stairs extended downward, as if leading to endless darkness.

Yuichi Shiina walked down the stone stairs carefully, followed closely by Ran Maori.

The further they went in, the darker the light became and the weirder the atmosphere became, except for the bright light on their watches.

Suddenly, Mao Lilan stepped on a loose stone, making a crisp sound.

She was startled and quickly grabbed Shiina Yuichi's arm.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Shiina Yuichi patted her hand.

Continuing forward, they finally reached the end of the stone stairs.

A tightly closed stone door appeared in front of me, with some strange symbols and patterns engraved on the door. I wonder if a long time has passed.

Part of the pattern's composition is a little off, but according to Shiina Yuichi's inference, it should be the family crest of the Karasuma family or something like that.

But he seemed to have seen another pattern that was also eroded by time somewhere.

Shiina Yuichi frowned, thinking about the meaning of these symbols.

But he couldn't remember it for a long time, so he gave up thinking and turned his attention to the door.

"This door doesn't seem simple." he said to himself.

Ran Mao Li looked at the door nervously, feeling uneasy.

Yuichi Shiina decided to observe the surrounding environment first to see if there were any other clues.

He looked around and found a small mechanism next to the stone door.

Shiina Yuichi gently pressed the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened with a dull sound.

A stale smell came to my face, making me feel depressed.

Yuichi Shiina took a deep breath and took Ran Mouri into the room behind the stone door.

The room was filled with a light dust and contained some ancient objects.

Yuichi Shiina observed these items carefully, hoping to find some useful information.
