Chapter 487: They all went in

~4 min read 793 words

The car stopped in front of the castle, and everyone got out.

Conan said innocently, "Uncle Mouri, I want to play outside for a while."

Mouri Kogoro had black lines on his forehead: "You little brat, what are you running around for?"

Kosaka Natsumi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, after sitting in the car for so long, everyone must be tired, you can walk around outside the castle first."

As soon as Kosaka Natsumi finished speaking, Inui Shōichi immediately said with a smile, "Walk around outside the castle? That's really thank you! Come to think of it, I was just thinking of walking around the courtyard."

Mouri Kogoro thought for a moment and nodded, "Since that's the case, let's walk around the courtyard together. Hmm, perhaps the layout of the courtyard has something to do with the other Memory Egg."

Kosaka Natsumi said to the butler, "Mr. Sawabe, then I'll trouble you to lead the way for the guests, Akaso-san and I will wait here."

Sawabe Kuranosuke bowed slightly and led a bunch of people toward the right.

Watching their backs, Kosaka Natsumi leaned close to Akaso Kaze, "Akaso-san, is there really an entrance to the underground palace over there?"

Akaso Kaze nodded.

"Then what if they find the Memory Egg first?" Kosaka Natsumi asked worriedly.

Akaso Kaze smiled, "Don't worry, with me here, they won't find anything."

Seeing that the figures had already disappeared around the corner, Kosaka Natsumi secretly leaned over, raised her little face and said, "Akaso-san, I'm relying on you for everything, you said you would be responsible for me."

Akaso Kaze looked at her pitiful little appearance, like a pet, and couldn't help but hug her and kiss her.

Kosaka Natsumi is really too easy to attract people.

Such a girl must be protected well, only I can bully her.

Sawabe Kuranosuke walked in the front, passed through an arched door, and walked toward the tower on the right.

While walking, he introduced, "In front is the watchtower that the old lady often visited; although its position is lower than the castle, it is still very high relative to Yokosuka."

"Looking out from the window here, you can overlook half of Yokosuka's beautiful scenery..."

Sawabe Kuranosuke actually had some doubts in his heart.

He did everything according to the young lady's instructions, of course, this must be the Onmyoji's intention.

But there is a secret passage to the underground in that watchtower?

He had been in the castle for so long, why had he never discovered it?

With doubts in his heart, Sawabe Kuranosuke led everyone up the stairs to the watchtower, crowding together in front of the window, looking at the beautiful scenery of Yokosuka.

Inside the watchtower, Conan watched the scenery for a while and jumped down from the windowsill.

His ballpoint pen fell out of his pocket and happened to roll onto the floor at the entrance of the underground palace.

Conan was slightly stunned, walked over to pick up the pen, habitually reached out and knocked on the floor twice, and then his face changed drastically.

Wait! This sound doesn't seem right!

Mouri Kogoro next to him also heard the sound of Conan knocking on the floor, his expression became solemn, he reached out and knocked on the floor, and said in surprise, "The space under this floor is empty!"

"What?!" The people in the tower were stunned when they heard this.

Immediately after, the secretary and the art dealer all quickly crawled to the side of Conan and Mouri Kogoro, knocking on the floor together.

Each one of them was full of joy.

"It really is empty here! There is very likely a secret passage below!"

"What? There really is a secret passage here?"

Sawabe Kuranosuke was stunned.

Unexpectedly, what the Onmyoji said was actually true!

There really is a secret passage here, even he, who had lived in the castle for decades, didn't know.

Mouri Kogoro stood up, put one hand on the wall, frowned and said, "But where is the switch?"

Before Uncle Mouri finished speaking, he suddenly felt his hand pressing on the wall loosen, and a certain brick on the wall was pressed in by him.

Immediately after, the floor in the tower suddenly cracked open, and the people on it were all caught off guard, screaming "Ah" and falling straight in.

Mouri Kogoro, while falling, was still thinking, "Uh, so the switch is here."

The entrance below is less of a secret passage and more of a trap; once opened, you fall down.

Below is a sliding ramp made of ordinary soil, and the distance from the end of the slide to the ground of the underground palace is still two meters high. ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
