Chapter 800 Empty Knife Rack

"The man who just came down the mountain is the man wearing a ghost mask that you met in the hospital before."

In the tent camp set up by the police at the foot of the mountain, Maori Kogoro turned his head to look at Fue Takuzo. At that time, he was knocked unconscious by Kaito Kid in the toilet, so he didn't know anything.

When someone went down the mountain, everyone noticed the black-clothed man following the two ghost masks, and found that one of them had appeared in the Hakodate Police Station in the past two days. It didn't matter if he came from Tokyo, but the local police in Hakodate were a little unhappy.

"Inspector, after all, Hakodate is our place. Even if that Tokuquan is the confidant of the Chief of the Police Department, he can't just keep us in the dark."

Several Hakodate policemen gathered next to Officer Nishimura.

"That's right, even you..."

"I know the inside story." Nishimura glared at them, then waved at a black jeep behind him, watched the car leave, and then looked back at the mountain that was emitting thick smoke.

"This is going to be troublesome."

"Hmm?"

After criticizing his son-in-law who was disguised as his daughter, Nakamori Ginzo walked back from the back of the camp, and told Kaito and Hattori Heiji to pay attention to the old lady at the shrine. After all, these two brats carried the old lady down the mountain, and she might feel uncomfortable.

"The two ghost masks also have star-edged knives in their hands, right?"

Although Officer Nishimura didn't know that Ghost Mask and Kudo Yuji had taken all the knives from Kaito Kid, the last one of Fujiang Takuzo was given to Ghost Mask in front of them.

"I originally thought that Fujiang Takuzo was just here to worship, and he didn't really know the ghost mask, but the two ghost masks were obviously waiting on the mountain." Nishimura whispered: "Sure enough, you were right in your suspicion before. Fujiang Takuzo was probably pretending not to know him in the hospital."

In Nishimura's view, even if the police asked to protect Fujiang Takuzo, this man still ran to the shrine, maybe to pass on some secret code.

"Perhaps as long as he comes to the shrine, the other party will know everything." Nishimura sighed: "The trouble is, there may be something more dangerous in Hakodate later than the terrorists fighting in the hospital."

In short, the two police chiefs reached a consensus that they would lock Takuzo Axie in a room and "protect" him completely after returning to the police station.

On the mountain, Yuuji, who changed into a fire suit, glanced at Gojo and comforted Nanakomachi, whose equipment was stolen, through a short-range radio.

"Too much, I was the one who was supposed to accompany him down."

Nanakomachi stared at Gojo with some resentment until the two of them who couldn't help it at the entrance of the passage went down one after another, and then used the wired monitoring device installed on the front of the fire suit to observe the situation with their mobile phones at the mountain gate torii.

"From my first detection results, there seems to be drugs for hallucinations or paralysis of mental illness inside the mountain after passing through the mountain gate, and Conan and the girl at the shrine were infected in this way."

Yuuji shared the situation with Gojo and denied whether it was some special pictures that caused mental pollution.

Walking down from behind the wooden door with a flashlight, Yuji first complained about Gojo, thinking that he read too many strange novels and watched too many TV shows. After walking down the slope twice, he quietly watched Gojo repeatedly circling around the torii gate and bumping into the faded wood.

"What kind of hallucination dream is he having?"

Yuji looked at Washiko Komiya Touko, who seemed to be dancing hip-hop, but every move seemed to be avoiding something, and then swaggered through the torii gate and looked directly at the small shrine on the innermost side.

Gojo hesitated for a while about whether to knock Conan out. With the help of the flashlight, he saw a steel base with a rotating mirror installed on the ground. He shone the flashlight directly on the mirror and observed the light path reflected by the mirror.

"Gojo, what are you doing?"

Yuji Kudo in front saw that Gojo didn't catch up, but the mechanism he shone on the ground reflected a beam of light. He looked up and looked along the end of the beam, then walked to the steel-bottomed bronze mirror and squatted down.

"This base can rotate."

The two looked at each other through the transparent fire hood, and after nodding in unison, Yuji began to change the direction of the light refraction little by little with his hands, until the light hit another base on the ground and there was a second ray, and then he stopped.

"Click."

The first base immediately made a mechanical click sound, which made the two more certain that the mechanism on the ground was the way to crack the cave.

"Fortunately, you didn't go directly to open the door of the shrine, otherwise there might be some self-destruct device."

Because the light must be continuous, Gojo had to stand still and let Yuji adjust the angle of the mirror, and also told him to pay attention to his feet.

"I think there doesn't seem to be any dangerous traps here except for the confusing aroma."

Yuji pointed at Conan and Washiko Komiya Orange: "If they can't get out, the old man of this shrine will probably come down to take them away."

As for why he didn't tell Washiko Komiya Orange about the secret under the shrine, Yuji couldn't figure it out.

With the help of Gojo's remote observation, Yuji slowly adjusted all the mirrors until all the bases made a click sound before he breathed a sigh of relief, paying attention to the final direction of the light.

"Not this small shrine, but the wall?"

Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\Bar!)

He frowned and looked down, thinking that he had turned the wrong way. But after he walked to the bronze mirror and fiddled with it to confirm that it was locked, his eyes shrank and he walked straight to the end of the light.

This was not a man-made space. The surrounding mountain walls were all hard rocks. Yuji tapped other places with his hands, and tapped twice at the place where the light was shining.

"This is empty!"

He waved his hand to signal Gojo to come over, and after the power of the flashlight disappeared, all the bases also made a coughing sound, and the friction sound of gears and hinges could be heard faintly.

The place on the mountain wall that was wrong because of the knock was about two meters long, but only half a meter high from top to bottom. After confirming that the material was not hard, Gojo directly broke the wall with his bare fists and shone the flashlight into it.

"An... empty knife rack."

There was also a small red stone behind the knife rack. The strange fragrance that filled the mountain was emitted by it. Seeing this, Yuji touched the stone and took a thick sealed bag from his fire suit and threw it in.

"It seems that the knife that was originally here is the direct clue to find Keisaburo Axue's treasure, and Axue Tadayuki also saw the loss of the knife, so he lamented that the second line was blocked."

Yuji touched the knife rack: "I don't know where the knife went. Someone else got here before Axue Tadayuki?"

"No..."

The sudden cold voice behind them made Yuji and Gojo shiver. They turned their heads and found that a woman dressed as a shrine maiden appeared next to the shrine at some point, and she was sitting on the steps in front of the shrine.

"Are you the... lady from that day?"

Yuji remembered Orange's description of her mother, but his eyes fell on the woman's hands who rested Conan and Orange on their knees and rubbed their foreheads with a green stone.
