Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: If You Can Find Us, I Lose

Chi Feichi looked down at Conan, who he was carrying in his hand. "If I said I heard it, would you believe me?"

Conan nodded. He also felt that only this explanation made sense. "Your hearing is really amazing. But we could see the light from the crack of the door opposite just now. She might have seen it too. She will probably come over soon. Let's leave here quickly!"

"Turn off your watch's light," Chi Feichi carried Conan and walked forward. "We will be discovered."

"Can you see?" Conan hesitated.

He was a little worried that Chi Feichi would hit the wall with him...

"Relax." Chi Feichi turned a corner, turned on the mechanism, and when the mechanism door opened, he immediately dodged in.

Seeing Chi Feichi's confidence, Conan also turned off the light.

Walking along the way, Feichi raised his body and guided Chi Feichi by his ear.

Chi Feichi took the opportunity to evaluate Feichi's various abilities.

Scent tracking is no worse than animals with a keen sense of smell, plus heat eye detection, which has a great advantage in complete darkness.

His eyes are similar to human eyesight. He can't see in darkness without light, but for a creature like a snake whose 'true eyes' are not very useful, his eyesight is already excellent.

Moreover, don't know if it's a snake's natural talent, Feichi's judgment of distance is very accurate. Plus he secretly learned a lot from humans, he can accurately report numbers like how long a step he takes, how far the current distance from the corner is, and how many steps it takes to reach it.

He is also relatively sensitive to length data. Otherwise, instructions like 'cut down by 6 millimeters' just now would have already opened a hole in Conan's body. However, the accuracy of his judgment is definitely not as good as Feichi, and the value and probability of error are also larger than Feichi's.

Overall, they are a suitable pair. The same precise judgment of numerical values can utilize each other's advantages. Feichi can infiltrate, investigate, detect, and be his eyes behind his back. He is responsible for fighting, making plans, and doing work that only humans can do...

In the dark, Feichi also had the same idea as Chi Feichi. Although the last action made money, it was not difficult. This action was an opportunity to understand each other and hone their tacit understanding. He concentrated on recording Chi Feichi's various habits.

Chi Feichi also followed to adjust some of his actions, walking fast or slow from time to time, simulating his walking speed in various situations for Feichi to understand. At the same time, half of his thoughts also pondered...

There are no bamboo rats for sale in Japan. He has to find a way to order two bamboo rats.

Only Conan was carried and wandered in the total darkness, floating back and forth like a ghost, completely confused about where he was, confused about north, south, east and west. He could only judge whether Chi Feichi was going upstairs, downstairs, or walking on a flat road.

Occasionally, he could see a little light, which was also a trace of light from Mamiya Masuyo's flashlight looking for them. It flashed quickly, as if the two sides could not meet each other no matter what...

No, they also met once.

He had previously wanted to ask Chi Feichi where he was going to turn. While hesitating and ready to speak, he was suddenly carried by Chi Feichi to the front and covered his mouth and nose. When he almost thought Chi Feichi wanted to kill him, he heard a slight breathing on the left.

And while his mouth and nose were covered, Chi Feichi also seemed to hold his breath.

When he reacted, it was creepy and extremely speechless.

Probably Mamiya Masuyo turned off the flashlight, hiding in a crack like a "Fudimo" (a person lying on the ground to ambush), trying to see if she could ambush them. As a result, Chi Feichi carried him like a ghost and passed by gracefully... passed by...

And Mamiya Masuyo didn't notice them at all.

Like a boss player in a certain escape game fighting against a Fudimo BOSS in the dark, and he was the appendage that the boss player wanted to bring out to complete the mission...

Being carried and floating for another minute, Conan couldn't help reaching out and poking Chi Feichi who was carrying him.

"It's okay, she is not nearby now, you can say anything you want," Chi Feichi said.

"Where are we going?" Conan didn't doubt that Chi Feichi got lost. This guy was just like opening a full-map vision.

Chi Feichi didn't say that he was taking the opportunity to hone with Feichi. He pondered for a moment. "Don't know, I'm considering."

Conan: "..."

&V>#&...!*

Carrying him and shaking for more than ten minutes, Chi Feichi actually said he didn't know where to go and was still considering?

"I think we can go block that guy and then directly solve her..." Conan reminded weakly.

He was startled by that encounter just now, and Chi Feichi moved past Mamiya Masuyo too quickly, making him unable to react. Otherwise, wouldn't an anesthesia needle solve everything?

Moreover, from Chi Feichi's walking speed and lightness, he was also trained and could totally confront her squarely...

"What you said makes sense, but having not found her for half a day, she probably has already gone out," Chi Feichi said.

The other party committed murder, malicious assault, attempted murder, but has not been discovered by the police so far, not to mention escaping after arrest and being wanted by the police.

In other words, that guy is not worth money. Instead of being busy capturing, it is better to set it as a monster that 'will be GG if discovered' to exercise...

Conan was speechless. "Then let's go out too and notify the police to arrest people..."

"No rush," Chi Feichi analyzed calmly. "You say, the other party had already confirmed that you had not been rescued before, why did she go to that secret room again? Could it be that she didn't know that the more times she went, the greater the possibility of an accident?"

Conan woke up suddenly. "You mean, someone else was caught by her? She went there to lock that person up with me!"

"So..." Chi Feichi stopped and adjusted the mechanism of the opposite wall. "While she leaves, we have to save another person... right, Professor Agasa?"

The mechanism door opened slowly.

Conan also turned on the light of his watch and clearly saw Professor Agasa who was tied up and lying on the ground just like him before. But unlike him at that time, Professor Agasa's mouth was also sealed.

Probably the other party thought he was rescued because Chi Feichi discovered the specific location due to shouting or something?

Professor Agasa was almost awake. After seeing the two clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Feichi put down Conan whom he had been carrying and stepped forward to cut Professor Agasa's rope.

Conan also stepped forward to help and tore off the tape sealing Professor Agasa's mouth. "Professor, what's going on?"

Professor Agasa felt that several of his beard hairs had been stuck to the tape and touched it. "I intended to sneak out to call the police when I found your hat stained with blood and fallen on the ground. I went over and was knocked out. When I woke up, I was already here. I didn't even see who the other party was..."

"Did you enter a suddenly opened door?" Chi Feichi asked.

"At that time, I saw Shin... uh, Conan's hat, plus there was a secret door open next to it, I thought I would check the situation at the entrance first..." Professor Agasa explained somewhat embarrassedly, and then said to Conan, "Before Mr. Chi came to find you, he asked Xiao Ai to be careful of that family, not to alarm anyone to call the police, and not to enter any suddenly opened doors..."

"In the end, you still entered, right?" Conan was somewhat speechless. Someone reminded him but he still fell into the trap...

"It's been too long. Let's hurry up and get out." Chi Feichi turned and left the secret room.

Since there was a reminder, Professor Agasa still got caught by the small trap. Then he didn't expect the other few people to listen to his advice of 'don't get caught one by one'...

Wrong, Haibara Ai and those three children may not necessarily be 'getting caught one by one', but may also be 'getting caught together as a package'.

Before reaching the exit, Chi Feichi suddenly stopped, opened the mechanism on the side of the road, opened another parallel secret passage, and picked up the unconscious Kojima Genta.

Conan also became anxious. "They won't have all been solved, right?"

"Probably not," Chi Feichi returned to the original secret passage, casually closed the mechanism, and looked ahead. "One has successfully sneaked in."

As soon as the voice fell, Mitsuhiko's figure appeared around the corner at the end. He was still wearing the glasses that Conan had dropped before. The watch-type flashlight also found Chi Feichi's group. He ran up hurriedly, "Co-Conan! Brother Chi, and Professor Agasa, it's so great that you are fine! By the way, Genta..."

Chi Feichi picked up Genta and shook him. "Fainted. Except for a big bump on the back of his head, nothing else."

"Phew... that's good," Mitsuhiko ran to the group, panting, explaining, "I picked up Conan's glasses, and used the glasses tracking function and Conan's detective badge for positioning to find here. At that time, the door in front of me opened, but I heard Haibara-san said that Brother Chi told us to be careful of suddenly opened doors, so I didn't enter. Took the glasses and left there first... Here, Conan, this is your glasses!"

Chi Feichi couldn't help looking at Professor Agasa. A child can listen to advice better than Professor Agasa...

Professor Agasa smiled awkwardly. "By the way, then Xiao Ai and Ayumi..."

Mitsuhiko hurriedly said, "We found near the tower that caught fire four years ago!"

Conan had already put on his own glasses, glanced at the positions of the remaining two detective badges, and looked at Chi Feichi. "The two of them are together now, just not far above us. Let's go find them first."

"I'll take you to a shortcut." Chi Feichi continued to walk up, found another mechanism at the corner, the wall opened, revealing a ladder leading to the top. Carrying Genta in one hand, holding the ladder in the other to climb up. "Climbing up is the first floor of the tower."

Conan followed closely. "I heard Mr. Tabata mentioned before that the old master of this family was your grandfather's cousin. You are so familiar with the secret passages here. Have you been here before?"

Chi Feichi: "No."

Conan thought for a moment. "If you can find it even in the dark... Could it be that this castle used to belong to your family? Or were there original diagrams of the secret passages?"

"No, no. I've lived here for a while, can't I haven't discovered anything?" Chi Feichi denied Conan's wide-open brain guess, and reached out to open the exit overhead. "Turn off the watch light. She probably also knows the location of Xiao Ai and Ayumi, maybe she is already waiting upstairs."

"Wait! Their position moved," Conan watched the tracking on the glasses. "Seems to have also entered the secret passage... heading towards the main building!"

Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, and calmly and seriously complained, "Is everyone playing a group game of hide-and-seek tonight?"

Conan could only laugh dryly. "Let's go find them first!"

"Okay, let's go up first," Chi Feichi said. "I'll take you to a shortcut."

Conan: "..."

How many shortcuts does this guy know?
