Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The child who is tracking the transparent weirdo alone is called Otomohisa, a second grader in middle school, the deputy head of the Boys Detective Team, and the right-hand man of the head Kobayashi. He looked in the direction the homeless man was pointing at, and at a glance he recognized that it was the transparent weirdo—the clothes were exactly as described by everyone.Otomo-kun is a small man, and this residential area is located in a remote area with few lights, so it is not difficult to track him. A car was parked on a street corner 100 meters away from the Shimada house, with its headlights turned off.The suspicious-looking gentleman approached the car, knocked on the body a few times, then opened the door, sat in the back seat, and whispered something to the driver.

Otomo-kun has a light body, is good at vaulting horses and horizontal bars, and is adventurous by nature.For him, the current situation can be described as "the opportunity never comes again", his body trembles slightly, his heart beats faster, and every cell is excited. "superior!" Otomo-kun secretly encouraged himself, tiptoed close to the rear of the car, jumped up, lightly landed on the fender of the rear wheel, then tiptoed, and climbed up the roof of the car—a set of movements as fast as lightning, All in one go.As soon as he was on his knees, the car started to move.

This car deliberately avoided the police station and drove for more than 30 minutes under the cover of night.The weirdo and the driver didn't realize that the deputy head of the Boy Detective Team was lying on top of their heads.Every time the car turned a corner, Otomo-kun felt like he was about to be thrown out of the car, holding on to the roof of the car. The car drove through block after block, and finally stopped in an open field overgrown with weeds.This place is undoubtedly still in the territory of Tokyo. It used to be a barracks, but now it is desolate.Looking around, there are no houses, but dead trees scorched by the flames of war. The lights of thousands of families in the distance outline the dead woods in a strange shape.

The weirdo got out of the car and walked towards a place.Dayou-kun thought he couldn't lose his target, so he slid down from the roof of the car and lay down on the ground to observe carefully. "Quack quack..." Suddenly, there was a loud noise overhead.Mr. Otomo was taken aback, and looked up, it turned out that the car started.It must be that the driver of the weirdo has completed the task and is going to drive the car to the secret garage.Watch the car disappear into the night. Tracking is coming to an end.The weirdo's lair is somewhere in this clearing.Where is that?Otomo-kun's situation is getting more and more dangerous.

Looking closely, there is a cliff with a height of about ten meters in front of you, and the slope is covered with grass.The weirdo walked straight towards the cliff.Dayou-kun crawled on the grass and followed.It was so dark all around, as long as there was no movement, even if the weirdo looked back, he would not be noticed. The strange man approached directly below the cliff, where it was so dark that he could hardly be seen.Otomo-kun stared at the darkness with rounded eyes.I only heard the sound of "rustling..." pulling the grass, and the figure of the strange man suddenly disappeared!No matter how you look at it, there is nothing but dirt and grass.

Could it be that the weirdo used magic again?no.In fact, there is a big cave there, and the strange man went into the cave.The entrance of the cave is covered by grass, so it is not easy to find.Otomo-kun realized this, then walked into the tunnel-like cave, listened carefully, and confirmed the situation inside. "Click, click..." The weirdo went deep into the tunnel.I found out afterwards that this was a horizontal hole-type air-raid shelter dug during the war. Because of its remote location, no one blocked it. Over time, the entrance was overgrown with weeds, covering up its existence.

Dayou-kun walked lightly into the dark tunnel, walked about ten meters to the end, and there was no fork in the road.He wondered: "Strange. Where did this guy go?" There is no hiding place here, and the cave is very narrow. If the strange person is here, Otomo-kun should be able to touch it. "Did he play some other tricks?" Otomo-kun stood still, and at this moment there was a glimmer of light in the darkness in front of him - it was a round hole with a diameter of about forty centimeters.The light is coming out of the hole. "Haha, the space at the other end of the small hole is quite large, and the lamp is lit, and even this side is illuminated. From this point of view, that guy must have entered from here." He finally understood the mystery—make a The small cave is used as an entrance and exit, even if an uninvited visitor visits, it is difficult to find the weirdo's lair deep in the cave.Maybe in normal times, this hole is covered by something.

"Alright, let's go in and have a look!" Dayou-kun quickly made up his mind.To be honest, he was too impulsive.Now that the weirdo's lair has been discovered, it should be withdrawn in time and report to Team Leader Kobayashi and Team Leader Nakamura.In this case, he will not encounter that tragedy.Who made Otomo-kun love adventure?At this time, he was like a hound who had found its prey, already dizzy and desperate, so he was in no mood to think about it. This hole can only allow one person to lie down and drill through.Dayou-kun pricked up his ears to listen to the movement at the other end of the cave. After confirming that there was no one there, he slowly climbed into the cave and poked his head out to look around. As expected, there was a lot of space inside.There is a light source in the distance, thin and long, perpendicular to the ground, it feels like light is passing through the gaps in the board wall.With this small ray of light, you can get a general idea of ​​the situation around you - this is a corridor, as tall as a person, and about one meter wide.

Otomo-kun gritted his teeth and crawled through the hole, walking cautiously along the aisle towards the brightly lit place.When I came to the front, I found that it was a wooden wall—to be exact, a simple wooden door.The light coming out of the crack of the door was red and flickering, so it could be concluded that it was a candle. Dayou-kun pricked up his ears to listen, and he could hear a slight sound on the other side of the wooden door, as if someone was walking.He knelt in front of the door, squinted his eyes and looked in - it didn't matter what he saw, he shuddered suddenly, obviously shocked, but he couldn't move, he was firmly attracted by what he saw.
