Chapter 819 Stable Tunnel (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)
When everyone returned to Baskerville Manor, several servants were whispering to each other, and Sir Henry was standing on the porch walking back and forth, looking anxious.
"Mr. Holmes!"
When he saw Sherlock Holmes, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurried forward and said:
"I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Sir Henry, there must be many policemen in the villa."
Holmes said straight to the point:
"We need a safe place to hide."
Sir Henry looked back at the villa and immediately lowered his voice:
"No problem, come with me!"
Under the leadership of Sir Henry, everyone walked into the stables behind the manor. There were several strong horses here, which were used to pull carts.
Without saying anything, Sir Henry walked to the empty compartment at the deepest part of the stable, grabbed the rake on the side, and shoveled away the hay on the ground, revealing a black wooden door.
"My father built this 20 years ago as a wine cellar."
As he spoke, Sir Henry opened the wooden door and lowered the ladder:
"But later, because the sealing was not very good and the humidity level was not up to standard, it was converted into a stable. Few people know that there is a room below."
After descending to the bottom, everyone discovered that there was a strange cave here. There were empty wine racks everywhere. When they raised the kerosene lamp, there were tiny dust visible to the naked eye floating in the air, accompanied by an unpleasant smell of decay.
but.
These were not important. Sir Henry walked to a wine rack against the wall, pushed open the wine rack with great effort, and revealed the small door on the wall.
"My father dug a passage in this room. Along this road, you can reach the bottom of the mountain, but it has not been used for a long time. I don't know if it can still be used."
Sir Henry said:
"You can hide here, or you can leave the manor from here and avoid the police."
"Thank you, Sir Henry."
Holmes smiled, he was very satisfied with this place:
"But I don't want to leave. The police above can't find us and will leave soon. Why rush?"
"It would be great if you have a cup of hot tea and a dry towel at this time."
"I understand. Just wait here and I'll get it for you."
Sir Henry had not appointed servants, and in this case one less person knew the cellar, and there was less danger.
After he left the wine cellar, Sakaki opened the iron door, looked at the time, and said to Kidd and others:
"You guys wait for me here. If I'm not back before 9 o'clock in the morning, I'll kill Jack the Ripper and end the game."
It's 5 o'clock in the morning, and it takes an hour to get to the town from the manor, provided you have horses.
Seeing that Sakaki was about to leave the manor, Deya waved his fist excitedly:
"Boss, just go ahead and let me take care of your godmother!"
"."
Leaving it to you is the most uneasy thing
However, with Holmes and Watson around, Sakaki was not worried about the safety of Conan and the others.
among those sitting
Who is trash besides Conan?
Zetian Hongshu is protected by Noah’s Ark!
He is the biggest cheater!
Sakaki was worried about the fact that Sawada Kiki didn't take out the rockets. Either he was being petty, or he was being petty.
If he had taken out the rockets, the game would have been over.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Sakaki held the kerosene lamp and turned around and got into the narrow tunnel.
shortly after he left
"Huh?"
Kidd looked around the dim surroundings and said in surprise:
"Where is Miss Miyano?"
Tick. Tick.
The rainwater seeped into the soil, making it muddy underfoot. The tunnel happened to be in a layer of clay. Not to mention the sticky soil, there was a risk of collapse on rainy days.
In order to prevent the tunnel from collapsing, the excavators used wood to reinforce it and firmly support the surrounding areas to ensure safety.
but.
The wood, which has been eroded by time, has shown signs of decay. Not only does it emit an unpleasant smell, Sakaki can also see that several stable points are broken, and he does not know when it will completely collapse.
After all, it is an escape tunnel that has been abandoned for 20 years, so it is lucky that it is still in use.
The kerosene lamp the size of a human head was swaying, and the connection between the handle and the metal earring was embroidered. It could be considered an antique oil lamp.
There was an endless downhill road in front of him, and his feet were slippery. Sakaki carefully controlled his body balance and walked very fast.
I don’t know how long it has been
Plop!
Sakaki turned his head sharply, and he clearly heard the sound of heavy objects falling into puddles behind him.
Narrow tunnels like this are best suited for the propagation of echoes.
Could it be that the police are catching up?
In doubt, Sakaki took out his revolver and returned to the original route to check the situation.
The light illuminated the front bit by bit, and not far away, Sakaki heard the sound of gentle footsteps.
At the same time, Xiao Ai's figure appeared around the corner.
Her white gauze skirt was stained with mud, and her little face was dirty. She had obviously fallen accidentally. She followed her boyfriend without a lamp in her hand, groping all the way, but she didn't know where she found the courage.
A person walking alone in a crowded, dark tunnel is scarier than a ghost story.
Sakaki walked up to her and looked down.
Xiao Ai raised her head stubbornly, with firm eyes, and looked at her boyfriend quietly.
Ten seconds later
Sakaki silently put away his gun, wiped the dirt on her face with his sleeve, held her outstretched hand, and the two of them walked forward.
"Don't believe Renya Karasuma, he is a liar."
Holding hands, Makoto Sakaki slowed down a bit and walked side by side with Ai.
Hearing her voice, Makoto Sakaki nodded:
"Well, you know him better than me."
"If you have attended the core meeting, you will know what kind of person he is."
Ai said seriously:
"His nature is even darker than Professor Moriarty."
"Yes."
Makoto Sakaki sighed:
"He has experienced the Meiji Restoration, the two world wars, and the collapse of Japan's bubble economy."
"Such a life experience is not comparable to ordinary people."
"Karasuma Renya is best at deceiving others for his own use."
While shaking, Ai seemed to recall some unforgettable memories, and said in a cold tone:
"He has told countless lies in his life. , just like those hypocritical politicians, their words are nice, but they are all empty promises that can never be cashed. When the organization was first established, most members were deceived by him and joined. "
"APTX plan was proposed by him in his old age. So far, the research has been over half a century. In my hands, I have only found the unexpected side effect of making people smaller. "
"Do you know how Karasuma Renya lived for 140 years?"
Shaking his head, Sakaki Makoto said:
"I don't know, do you know?"
"I have heard a little bit, but it's just hearsay. After all, I am not responsible for his health, otherwise he would not be alive until now. "
