Detective Conan: The Grey Winged Angel

　　 June 14th, Friday, evening.

　　 The basement of the old four-chome house was a place where a man was imprisoned. Because a middle-aged woman came in, Conan and Ayumi were opposite the door, and they hid on the side of the cabinet on the wall.

　　 After listening to the conversation between the middle-aged woman and the man, Conan understood the secret of this house and the truth about the murder that hadn’t been followed five years ago.

　　 At this time, Ayumi accidentally knocked the mop next to him, and Conan hurriedly helped the cabinet to reach out and hooked the long handle of the mop without letting it fall. I just breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't want the cabinet next to me to be empty. I didn't have to work hard at all. I made the cabinet shake as soon as I tried to make the small bucket on the top of the cabinet fall to the ground and make a sound.

"I always feel that in addition to the two just now, it seems that there are other mice sneaking in." Picking up the knife on the ground, the middle-aged woman said, "Okay, come out, it's useless to hide. , Come out soon."

　　 patted Ayumi with tears and trembling with fear, and motioned to her not to be afraid. Conan said, "It's useless to hide, right? Ma'am, I think it should be you."

　　 "What?" The middle-aged woman was stunned.

"I saw in the room just now, the photo taken with you by the host who was killed five years ago, and the other person in the photo, your son," Conan said, "this is in the dark basement. A man who lives in pain."

　　 "Ah!" The middle-aged woman was taken aback.

"I found it strange since I entered this house. Since the owner was killed five years ago, his family has been missing. But when people go to the empty bathroom in the building, there is water in the tap. There is no such thing in this world. Yes, do you always pay for the property for an unoccupied house? And the exit made in an unobtrusive place, compared with the old walls around, the wooden flap is really new . I think it’s something that was created after the incident, in order to just want to get in and out of this house unobtrusive.” Conan said again, “But if someone lives here, why do you do this? And why have to My son is locked in the basement? I have fully understood these issues from your conversation just now."

　　 "Who are you?" the middle-aged woman exclaimed, "Who are you?"

　　 With his hands in his trouser pockets, coming out of the cabinet, Conan said, "Edogawa Conan, a detective."

　　 "Detective, detective?" the middle-aged woman asked in surprise.

Holding up two fingers, Conan continued: "Generally speaking, there are two possibilities in this situation. One is that the person who killed the owner is the wife, that is, you, so you imprison the son who witnessed everything in this place. There is another situation, that is, the person who killed the master is the son who was locked up by you. Knowing that he committed the crime, you decided to hide the truth of the incident to protect your son, but for him, this The sin is too serious. The sigh that comes from the house is probably his distressed sigh, probably because your son wants to go out and surrender in order to alleviate his sins, but you don’t as a mother. Allow him to do this."

　　 The middle-aged woman turned to look at her son and said, "I did everything for Akio."

"Yes, you wholeheartedly didn't want your son to be a criminal, so you chose to live in seclusion without letting him step out of the house." Conan continued, "But, look at your son, take a good look at what he looks like now ..."

　　 "Shut up, shut up, you shut up." The middle-aged woman screamed and rushed up.

　　 Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman suddenly shot her when she didn’t finish her words. Conan was pinched by her neck and held up against the wall.

　　 "Ah!" Seeing the middle-aged woman swinging a knife and trying to stab it, Ayumi exclaimed.

　　 "Stop!" Akio grabbed the railing and shouted, "Please don't do this, mother."

　　 "Akifu?" Holding the knife, the middle-aged woman asked back.

"Just as the kid said, there is nothing wrong. The murderer of my father is me." Akio said painfully when he fell to his knees, "It was the spring of five years ago, and my third university entrance exam I failed the ranking. My father said that I was a shame in the family, a scum, and a scum... Therefore, I, who had already fallen to the bottom of my mind, lost my mind for a moment due to my father's acrimonious words." Then he looked at his hands and recalled , "When I came back to my senses, I was already holding a blood-stained candlestick in my hand, and my father was lying on the floor."

　　 "Akifu..." the middle-aged woman yelled with concern.

"Next, as you said just now, in order to protect me, my mother turned the scene into a robber committing a crime, and then put me in this cell." Akio cried out in pain, "but I can't take it anymore. I don't want to In this way, I dream of killing my father's cowardly life every day. I don't want it. I want to redeem it. Then I will live a little easier."

"You must cheer up, Akio," quickly let go of Conan, and ran to the railing, the middle-aged woman comforted, "You must be patient, you must endure until the time of the hunt is invalid." Then turned to look at Conan viciously. Said, "If, if they don't say it, no one will know."

"Yes, if you hide like this, you can escape the police, but your son will never escape the condemnation of his own conscience." Conan asked, "Mrs., do you really want your son to live Are they all carrying such a heavy burden?"

"Akio's life is still very long, and condemnation of conscience can let time smooth it out," the middle-aged woman said to herself when she reached out her hand and stroked her son's head, "but if people know that Akio is a murderer People, that would be his biggest burden in his life,"

　　 "Mom, no." Akio stretched out his hand, but did not grasp the corner of the middle-aged woman's clothes.

Taking a step back, the middle-aged woman continued to mutter to herself: "I think my deceased husband should agree with me. I often think that if it was me who died, Akio would be better taken care of by my husband. , Because my housewife can only let Akio live in this dark place, and endure the pain of no communication with outsiders and no entertainment, which is more uncomfortable than jail time." Then he said to Akio, "I know you live in this place. It’s uncomfortable, so there’s no way to calm down. I’m already arranging. Soon you will be able to go to a place that makes you feel better.” Then he turned around and said, “You can bear with me...” He rushed towards Conan with a knife .

　　 Conan, who had prepared for a long time, immediately kicked the bucket that had just fallen from the cabinet, but the bucket was plastic, and it might have become brittle over time, and was kicked to pieces. However, the fragments of the sky forced the middle-aged woman to block her with her left arm.

　　 Conan immediately yelled: "Run!" He walked around to the right side of the middle-aged woman, stretched some distance, prepared for her back, and covered Bumei out.

　　 Ayumi hurriedly ran from the left side of the middle-aged woman, while Conan escaped the knife and cut across and ran outside immediately.

　　 Seeing that the middle-aged woman wanted to chase, she stretched her hand out of the railing as much as possible, and Akio shouted, "Mom..."

After a pause, the middle-aged woman said: "I'll be back soon." She chased after she said it, but Conan, who was guarded by the door just after chasing out, fell down with the anesthesia needle in her watch~www.NovelMTL. com~ After wiped his sweat, Conan and Ayumi walked through the confinement room along the arc-shaped underground passage to another room in the basement. This room is a collection of kitchen, utility room, and bedroom with toilet. Carefully I found it, but Genta and Mitsuhiko were not found.

　　 Before returning to the prison room, Conan and Ayumi were stunned because the middle-aged woman who should have been lying on the ground was gone. Conan ran into the imprisonment room immediately and was taken aback when he saw it. The iron door of the imprisonment room was opened. Akio was no longer inside. He stepped forward and took a look. The key was still hanging on the door.

How is this going? Huh? Conan suddenly discovered that Ayumi, who should have followed him, had not entered the prison room. After a shudder, Conan immediately shouted: "Bumei..." Then he ran out.

　　 Soon after, Conan discovered that he was left alone in the entire basement, and the door at the exit of the basement was closed. Conan tried it, but he couldn't push it away with his strength, and because the exit was to push it away, the telescopic sling couldn't come in handy. I kicked something with my foot-strengthening shoes and tried it, but the thing bounced back. It turned out that the door at the exit was made of steel and could not be broken. As for kicking directly, because the exit is directly connected to the stairs, it is very difficult to get out. Moreover, kicking the steel plate, after thinking about it, Conan gave up. In this way, Conan is now trapped in the basement.

　　 came to another room, made a pot of coffee, Conan sat on the bed and thought, who did this and why? Looking at his watch, at 6:27, won't Yamazaki come so early? And if it was him, why did he do it? As the middle-aged woman said just now, those arrangements happen to come, but this is not right...
