Chapter 1155 Skeleton (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

Tick.

Tick.

In the pitch-black darkness, Sakaki held a flashlight in his mouth and illuminated the hanging ladder at his feet.

On the surface, this well is no different from the wells used by ordinary people to draw water, but only after drilling in do you realize that this well is too deep.

Different regions naturally have different depths of wells. In some areas, if you dig down 3-5 meters, clear water will precipitate when you hit the sandstone layer. In some areas, you can't see water even if you dig down tens of meters or a hundred meters.

In the well that Sakaki and the others climbed, every five steps is equivalent to one meter. Roughly speaking,

The depth was already over 40 meters, but strangely no water was seen. In this case, we can only suspect that before drilling the well, the surveyors deliberately avoided the underground river and deliberately drilled the well dozens of meters deeper.

This well is definitely not for drinking water.

Reminiscent of Domon Yasutei once saying that Karasuma Renya's companion Ogawa Sakuchi once served as the principal of the training center, it is very likely that this well was dug during that period.

But after so many years, this well has not been filled in?

Sakaki felt extremely strange for a moment. The outside was only sealed with a layer of locked iron plates. If someone with evil intentions like Conan was there, he could easily pry open the iron plates and enter the wellhead smoothly.

The precautions taken were so unprofessional and completely inconsistent with Renya Karasuma’s character!

The ladder was full of rust, but it wasn't slippery at all. However, the safety factor was not very high. Sakaki and the others were not very fast. They climbed down 60 meters before reaching the bottom.

After jumping off the ladder and turning around to support Miss Miyano, Sakaki began to look around.

The air was a little turbid, but it didn't affect breathing. The bottom of the well seemed to be a stone chamber. The school motto and rules were engraved on the left wall, and several ropes that were about to rot were hung on the right wall.

Yasuki Domon, Mitsuaki, Masumi Sera, Heiji Hattori and others stood in the corners of the room, holding flashlights and curiously looking at the stone chamber, exclaiming in admiration.

"This looks like a dungeon."

Miss Miyano picked up the dust on the table, looked at the half-burned oil lamp, and said:

"I'm afraid it's a place used to punish students who have made mistakes. They are locked here to think about their mistakes. It's the same as the solitary room in a prison."

No wonder the seal is not tight, no wonder there are signs prohibiting entry on the barbed wire fence.

After arriving at the stone room, Sakaki suddenly realized that neither Karasuma Renye nor the school was afraid that others would find this place. It was just a solitary room. It was very common in that era, as long as students were not tortured or anything like that. That's it.

Strictly speaking, the place under the ancient well is also part of the old school building, and the underground space is vast, which can be regarded as the essence of architecture. The preservation of the old school building on the ground must have a lot to do with this well.

In addition to the stone chamber leading to the wellhead, there is also a forked passage here. The height of the passage is only two meters and the width is two meters. It can only accommodate two people walking side by side. If you jump up, you will hit the stone wall above. Except for Conan.

This is not Sakaki's insult to Conan!

Conan is only one meter tall. If he could jump more than one meter high, he would be a god. He would be on the same level as a professional athlete. Why shouldn't the national team be rushing to get him?

Of course, it doesn't count when you are extremely angry. If Conan heard Sakaki Cheng say this, he might actually jump a meter in anger.

There are narrow rooms lined up on both sides of the passage. Each room has a similar configuration, including a barrel, a pile of hay, and a broken bowl.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a cell used to hold prisoners.

After walking forward for more than ten meters, the end was reached. After knocking on the wall at the end and finding that it was solid, Sakaki lost interest in this place.

"Ah! There's a body here!"

Hongshu's screams came from one side of the passage. Sakaki Cheng and Miss Miyano rushed over immediately. They saw Hongshu hiding behind the wall of the passage, pointing to a cell and saying tremblingly:

"You. Look."

All the cells were the same size. The room that Hongshu was looking at. Sakaki and the others just took a random photo. After walking in, they found a skeleton sitting leaning against the edge of the wall. The clothes on his body were still intact, but the flesh and blood were still there. It has been completely corroded by microorganisms over the years.

"strangeness."

After watching for a while, Sakaki suddenly said in surprise:

"Why is this skeleton wearing a suit?"

"Is it weird to wear a suit?"

Tumen Yasuhui, who came from behind, asked:

"The suit was invented by Philips, a nobleman of France, in 1670. It has a history of more than 300 years. Gunma Elementary School Teachers' Training Center was established in 1873. It was during the Meiji Restoration period and a large number of foreigners poured into Japan. Isn’t it weird to wear a suit?”

"No, take a closer look."

Tumen Yasuhui frowned and moved closer, not afraid of the bones at all. He concentrated on studying the clothes on the bones. After looking at them for a while, his body suddenly shook and his eyes widened:

"This is a boldlook suit!"

"That's right, boldlook."

Sakaki narrowed his eyes and saw that the others were a little confused, so he explained:

"In the history of more than 300 years, suits have actually undergone a long evolution. Just like the current fashion, they often change according to the social preferences of the time. The boldlook suit worn by this skeleton uses thick and wide shoulder pads to boldly show the broad and strong shoulders of men. The collar, lapel, and tie are wider than other styles of suits, and the pants are loose and baggy. Because bold means bold, it is called boldlook."

"Boldlook appeared in 1940. Because the world was at war at that time, both men and women admired the military style, so this exaggerated and bizarre suit appeared."

"1940?!"

Mari Akai's pupils shrank, and she immediately understood why Makoto Sakaki said it was strange.

In 1940, Karasuma Renya was already an old man who was about to die. The Gunma Elementary School Teacher Training Institute had long been merged with the Agricultural Training Department. In another 9 years, Gunma University will be officially established.

In other words, the old school building at that time has long become history. Later people built new teaching buildings around the Gunma Elementary School Teacher Training Institute, abandoned the old school building and no longer used it.

So why did this skeleton enter the deep well alone after 1940?

How did he die here?

After his death, who locked the wellhead?

All kinds of doubts came to mind. Akai Mary couldn't help but stepped forward, pushed Domon Yasuki away, and put her little hand into the skeleton's clothes to see if she could find anything.

Soon, she took out a wallet from the front inner pocket of the skeleton's suit. There were several old banknotes in it, as well as a photo and a note.

[I have been thinking about whether to go back. There should be no one there]

[If I can atone for my sins, I really hope everything can be torn down and started over]

[He is right, Ogawa is a waste, stay]
