"The firewood collected by the four of them was neatly stacked outside the cave entrance. I guess they encountered danger only after entering the Stalactite Cave." Haiyuan Ai said.
"Are there any other discoveries?" Ye Gengyi asked, "For example, people I met on the road, or things I overheard."
"This..." Haiyuan Ai thought for a moment, "It seems not."
"I know, remember to keep your phone charged, and contact me in time if you have any other news."
He didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Ye Gengyi's mental state is rarely at full strength. After all, he has to stay up late every day to do research. But based on this fragmentary information, he really can't remember for a while what incident Dr. A Li and the others encountered this time. .
but,
I always feel that with Conan's disaster-prone physique, it might be related to the news report this morning...
Bank robber?
In the surveillance video, three people kidnapped a passerby who saw their faces. Their life and death are still unknown?
These are all money...
It's a pity that even if these two things are related, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with myself who is still in Mihua Park at this moment.
Even if we rush over now to take advantage of others, we still won’t have enough time.
It seems that I made a wrong choice today. I should have gone camping with the doctor and the others.
Ye Gengyi thought.
Look at the medicinal material coupon next to it - Mr. Ogino.
Suddenly it doesn't smell good...
"Gengyi, what happened?"
Mouri Kogoro looked over with a solemn expression.
Maybe it's because there have been too many cases in the past two days.
The situation in front of him immediately gave Mr. Toolman a bad premonition in his heart.
"The doctor's call, four children were lost in the stalactite cave."
After Ye Gengyi finished speaking calmly, he paused. Perhaps because he felt that he had not expressed clearly, he added: "They also left a distress signal at the entrance."
"What?!"
Mouri Kogoro was shocked.
Do you need to take a big breath to say such a thing?
Things suddenly turned from a child's naughty behavior into a horrific incident!
"How could this happen? Did someone chase them into the cave?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out..."
Even if there were neatly stacked firewood outside, it was not certain that they ran into trouble shortly after putting them down.
However, there is no practical use in thinking about this now.
Ye Geng said: "Dr. A Li has already called the police. I happen to know the location of their camping. Would you like Mr. Maoli to go with us?"
"Okay! I'll call a car right away!"
Mouri Kogoro paid attention to Ogino Masato's arms, and after confirming that both of them were dislocated, he did not hesitate, simply said hello to Ogawa Masayuki, and hurried out of the park.
Ye Gengyi did not refuse.
As for his transportation vehicle that was installed with a tracker by the FBI before it was driven a few times, whether it was for safety reasons or some other psychological reason, let's ignore it for the time being.
After all, I am just an 'ordinary' professor, and I can understand it even if I don't drive much. If I find a tracker installed by a professional inexplicably, it will only make the diluted suspicion appear to the other party's eyes again.
However, I spent a lot of money on that car...
Professor Ye, who is in financial crisis, is particularly sensitive to the word money.
FBI...
He remembered this grudge.
...
The taxi headed west.
Kogoro Mouri, who was in the passenger seat, changed his sitting posture at least five or six times within a limited minute to express his uneasiness.
The driver's uncle glanced at a certain person from the corner of his eye from time to time, with an expression that was partly entangled and partly hesitant.
Finally, when the car was about to leave the city, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, it's best to go to the hospital when you are sick...especially for hemorrhoids. I recommend Dr. Ogawa from Mihua General Hospital to you. His skills are very good." of..."
"ah?!"
As soon as these words came out, Mouri Kogoro's body suddenly froze.
How could I possibly get that thing...
Also, from what the driver said, did he go to the deep mountains and forests this time to seek medical treatment?
how? Just find a hidden swordsman and hit his back yard with a 'hasaki' move?
"What a joke."
Mouri Kogoro had a dark face and was about to get angry.
Buzz...buzz...
In the relatively quiet space, the vibrating sound of the mobile phone suddenly rang.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with this person... Mouri Kogoro held his breath and calmed down quickly.
Ye Geng picked up, "Hello? Have you found them?"
"Not yet... Following the instructions from nearby residents, we are ambushing at the exit of the Stalactite Cave..."
Haibara Ai's voice was very low, and she explained by the way: "When Officer Memu and the others came, they found a black van nearby... There was a large amount of cash in the car, and blood stains and gun smoke reactions were also detected. ..Two policemen have already entered through the entrance of the Stalactite Cave. The situation of Edogawa and the others may not be good. Where are you... now?"
"Don't be nervous. You and the doctor wait in a safe place. We will be there soon."
Ye Gengyi hung up the phone and started thinking.
There is also a pistol in the stalactite cave. Could it be the time when Conan was sanctioned?
"Hey, how's it going, Geng Yi?"
Seeing that this guy was still unwilling to share the contents of the phone call,
Mouri Kogoro was so anxious that he almost climbed from the passenger seat to the back.
Then, amid the driver's successive exclamations, he reluctantly sat back down.
"Sir, if you are really feeling uncomfortable, there are diapers I bought for my son in the storage box. They are soft ones... just for padding? But you will have to pay me more for the fare later..."
"I..."
Mouri Kogoro's face was dark and he couldn't help but cursed: "Stop talking nonsense and drive your car properly!"
"Oh...I know, I know..."
The driver looked soothing on the surface, but in his heart he felt unhappy that his good intentions had been trampled on.
Tch...I can't sit still, and I said it's not hemorrhoids...
However, complaints are complaints, his driving skills are pretty good.
Stalactite Cave, Exit.
When Ye Gengyi and Maori Kogoro arrived here, they saw at least 20 police officers standing ready to ambush.
Of course, it is impossible to spot them if you stand inside the cave and look out.
"Officer Mu Mu." Ye Geng waved his hand in that direction.
"Eh? Brother Maori, brother Gengyi..." Memu Shisan was surprised, "Why are you here too?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. How is the situation inside?" Ye Gengyi asked.
Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai are relatively far away from the entrance of the cave. Instead of asking them some things first, it is better to ask the planner of the operation directly.
The money was probably out of reach, so he might as well take the opportunity to save those children and make his presence known in front of the police.
Mouri Kogoro stood aside, his face a little dark. He said nothing, just staring at his former boss.
"Shiratori and Chiba went in from the entrance of the stalactite cave to look inside. Takagi and Sato were hiding behind the rocks over there, preparing to ambush the gangsters who escaped from the exit."
Mumu Shisan knew that unless he explained the layout clearly to these two people, they would never give up, so he was unambiguous. After explaining, he immediately said: "Okay, you two should go and hide over there. The gangster has a gun." ...It might be dangerous later..."
