Xihai Junsheng originally wanted to capture two more hostages. The more, the better. It was best to capture them all one after another, so that he could run away openly.
But unfortunately, an unknown little policeman didn't know where he came from such a high level of vigilance, which ruined Xihai Junsheng's imperfect plan.
"Open the door." Toshio Nishikai motioned for Atsushi Kawakami, while he put the knife against the neck of the little girl who had been sobbing quietly.
Ayumi was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't make a loud sound. Coupled with Nishikai Junsheng's fierce and threatening voice, she had to stay still.
The door was opened, Sugimoto raised his criminal pistol, and saw Atsushi Kawakami standing at the door, taking a step to the side, revealing Ai Haihara who was facing the door.
Criminal Sugimoto immediately turned away from the muzzle of the gun and tracked Kawakami's figure.
"Put down the gun." Toshio Nishikai's voice came out from afar, but it did not appear in Sugimoto's field of vision.
Criminal Sugimoto moved his ears slightly, slowly lowered the gun, and did not take a step forward.
"Throw the gun over." Xihai Junsheng was not satisfied yet. He only had a knife in his hand, so it was naturally not as convenient as a gun to deal with people far away.
"I'm not a fool, how could I throw the gun to you." Sugimoto didn't buy it. If the gun got into the hands of the person opposite, he would probably turn into a corpse in the next second.
"If you don't give it to me, I will kill someone!" Xihai Junsheng was crazy, "You are a policeman, I'm afraid you won't just watch the hostages die!"
He was answered with silence, and then the sound of a pistol falling to the ground.
"Kawakami, bring the gun."
Atsushi Kawakami didn't want to go very much, but he was used to obeying Xihai's instructions, so he could only go over slowly, staring at Sugimoto with a vigilant face.
At this moment, someone else also entered the courtyard.
"Mr. Kuroki!" Dr. Ari couldn't help calling out the person's name, but Kuroki Jin was not in the mood to greet him, and walked towards Kawakami with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Atsushi Kawakami was so frightened that he took two steps back.
"If you dare to touch our people, I will do it!" Xihai Junsheng still did not show his face inside. He asked the store owner to stand up and tell him the situation at the scene.
"Then your people will not end well." Kuroki Jin gestured behind him, and Chiba came forward with Noriko Hirano captured at the door.
"Hehehe..." Xihai Junsheng smiled, "Why, we dare to kill hostages, but the police dare to kill prisoners!?"
Chiba's eyes showed hesitation, and then his hands were empty. Hirano Noriko somehow got into Kuroki Jin's hands.
He was holding a knife in his hand, which was found on Hirano Noriko's body, and it was currently pressed against his neck.
"I dare."
Kuroki Jin said calmly.
His voice rang in Hirano Noriko's ears, causing her to break out in a cold sweat, and she quickly shouted: "Junsheng! Junsheng, help me——!"
"Mr. Kuroki!" Chiba and Dr. Agasa screamed in fear at the same time. On the other hand, Sugimoto, who was standing next to them, didn't look surprised.
"Release the child, and I will bring someone in to be your hostage."
Kuroki Jin spoke in a low voice, and most of the people inside could not hear it clearly, but Kawakami saw his eyes and knew he wanted to convey it himself.
So he shouted what he just said at the top of his lungs.
"Impossible!" Xihai Junsheng roared, "Who are you? If you dare to meddle in other people's affairs, believe it or not, I won't leave you alone."
Kuroki Jin arrived in the middle of the night, and they had never seen this person before.
Hearing this, Kuroki narrowed his eyes slightly. Haiyuan Ai, who had been paying close attention to him, noticed his intention, spit out the unprofessional gag in his mouth, and shouted: "No!"
Kuroki Jin was slightly stunned, and Sugimoto, who was about to raise his gun next to him, was also stunned for a moment.
He didn't say anything, but it seemed that his intention was guessed.
As if Haihara Ai knew what he was going to do, she stopped him with words before he could take action.
Kawakami felt that it was too dangerous outside, so he crawled back into the house and refused to go out.
Xihai Junsheng gritted his teeth. There were four hostages anyway. It didn't matter if one of them was killed. It would be easier to escape later.
He threatened: "If you don't let her go, I'll kill someone!" After saying that, he raised the knife and was about to stab Bumi.
"boom--!"
There was a gunshot, it was Sugimoto Criminal who fired. As the bullet penetrated the glass and hit Xihai's arm, a figure also jumped out.
It was Atsushi Kawakami.
"Ah!" Xihai Junsheng screamed, but the shot did not hit the vital point. He struggled hard and tried to continue.
But his next move was blocked by Atsushi Kawakami. Toshio Nishikai, who was already injured, was unable to compete with Atsushi Kawakami who was suppressed by his weight. He was pinned down and unable to move.
"You betrayed me!" he said through gritted teeth.
While being subdued here, Kuroki Jin was not idle over there. The moment Sugimoto fired, he flew out the dagger in his hand and nailed the right leg of the store owner who was sent by Saikai to see what was going on outside at the front door. Got it right.
So the screams were actually not one, but two.
At this time, Memu drove Conan and Ruomu Onto back.
After taking over the prisoner, Kawakami Atsushi was interrogated alone and the other party told the truth.
The three of them (Atsushi Kawakami, Noriko Hirano, and Toshio Nishikai) and Yurei Hogotsu, who died unexpectedly a year ago, are members of the ski team. They come here to ski together every year, and they get to know the owner of this hotel after going back and forth.
A year ago, they met a skier with an injured leg on the snowy mountain outside the ski resort. They were originally going to take him down the mountain, but Xihai Junsheng accidentally saw a large amount of gold and silver jewelry in his backpack.
"So Xihai became murderous, and together with a few of us, he buried him in the snow and froze to death, and hid the jewelry in the mountains."
Memu has already investigated the case from a year ago, so he naturally knows about this missing case.
"Then Baoyue was afraid that the matter would be exposed because of police searches, so he wanted to surrender." Kawakami smiled helplessly, "How could Xihai let him go? He threatened to put everyone in jail if we didn't kill her."
As a result, Baoyue Youling also died unexpectedly, and the missing person's belongings were found on her body. The local police attributed the incident to Baoyue and hurriedly closed the case.
But what they didn't know at the time was that the owner of the store and the man they killed were a group. They planned to steal from a wealthy merchant that day, but they didn't expect to be intercepted on the way.
In addition, Xihai and others all lived in this store. While waiting for the whereabouts of his accomplices, the owner of the store accidentally walked into their room and revealed the secret.
Xihai naturally refused to tell the store owner where they buried the jewelry, and the store owner also refused to let Xihai and others go. As the police were now taking a strict look, they agreed that on the same day a year later, several people would dig out the jewelry and divide the loot.
"But that unreliable guy brought a new guy." In another room, the shop owner said speechlessly.
