On the other side, a trio of firewood collectors appeared in Ye Gengyi's observation range.
Why are they here?
Ye Gengyi hid quietly behind the tree, confirmed the receiving range, and opened Yuantai's detective armband remotely.
"Sure enough, men are still most suitable for mountains..."
Yuantai let out an obvious sigh, and wanted to sing a song to relieve the depression of not being able to speak for two days.
"Really, everyone came out to camp because of you and Conan, so don't be lazy all the time, okay?"
Mitsuhiko looked up and said, "Come and collect firewood together."
"I...I'm not lazy," Yuantai looked around, trying to defend himself. He suddenly noticed the old hut not far away and said excitedly: "Come and see, I found something good. Eh!"
Ye Gengyi: "..."
Well, I’m here for camping, and there’s no one else I can meet like this...
…
At the camp, the atmosphere was silent for a long time because of Haihara Ai's words.
"Ahem, then... why don't you just tell Officer Takagi," Dr. Ari coughed twice and suggested: "How about a showdown with the police directly? If you tell them the whole story, there will always be a way to deal with it. Bar?"
"It's already too late, because Kudo, I, and the FBI were all involved at the time. Now that we have unified our voices, if we try to change our minds now, regardless of whether the police believe it or not, the level of attention it will take will be greatly reduced..."
Haibara Ai rubbed his eyebrows, "Even if you confess that you are the high school detective Kudo Shinichi, I think the only person the police will trust us directly is Officer Takagi. If you lose this race against time, you will die. In the game, are you willing to expose your identity to the police? After all, the character who emerges in the end may be unbelievable to you..."
"What do you mean? What is an incredible character?"
Conan came over alertly and asked with a serious face: "Could it be that... you already knew this?! By the way, 'Shirley'... you used to be a cadre with a code name. Who is the boss behind them! Have you ever met him? Pass!"
"Hmm..." Hui Yuan Ai raised his hand and brushed his hair on the temples, and said with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
I think? If I could feel everything, I would have prepared a plan to eradicate the black organization. Will I still have time to go camping?
Conan murmured a few words silently, then thought about it secretly:
But... Judging from Haiyuan's reaction, even if I continue to ask, I'm afraid it's hard to find out anything. Moreover, what she said is not completely unreasonable. A Belmod is so difficult to deal with, so we really can't rush it.
"It's such a pity," Dr. Ali sighed, "It's rare that Shinichi has such an important clue, but he can't take action..."
"Okay, don't think about it too much. Give up now and forget about this." Haihara Ai spread his hands and concluded, "This email address is a Pandora's box that must not be opened."
"Eh...panda's magic box?" Genta asked curiously from outside the tent, "What is that?"
"Can a panda doll be revealed after opening it?" Ayumi asked.
"Haha, it's not Panda, it's Pandora," Mitsuhiko said with a smile: "That's a story in Greek mythology. God put all the sins and disasters in a box and gave it to a woman named Pandora for safekeeping. Told her never to open it..."
Yuantai smiled and said, "But the more people don't open it, the more they want to open it and see what's inside."
"Yes, Pandora just couldn't control her curiosity and opened the magic box. While satisfying her desire for discovery, she also brought sin and disaster into the world."
Haiyara Ai tilted his head and said with some meaning: "Is what I said about Edogawa right?"
Yes, I know... Conan said with shame that he could not refute.
After all, he did not get any benefits from these confrontations with the black organizations, and if Belmod had not had murderous intentions, he would have been on the dock that day, not only himself, but also Xiaolan and Huiyuan...
"It turns out it's not a box containing pandas." Ayumi felt a little regretful.
"Let's not talk about that anymore," Dr. Ali quickly changed the subject, "Didn't you go to collect firewood? Why are you back so soon?"
"Actually, when we were just collecting firewood, we also found a strange box in front of an old house." Yuantai said.
"Well, that's right," Mitsuhiko further explained: "It has large round holes on both sides. It is a stone that looks like a box. Oh, by the way, its inner wall is also engraved with text. It seems to say Nio's Stone and so on... Well, because there are too many Chinese characters, I don't recognize many of them."
Conan's interest was aroused and he directly asked the three little heads to take him to the wooden house to check the situation.
The Stone of Nioh?
If he was right, he should be referring to diamonds!
…
Sure enough, he still came.
Ye Gengyi stood up and put his mobile phone on the branch of a tree, looking at the six people who happened to come to camp in this barren mountain.
He adjusted the frequency of the radio waves, connected Kuroba Kaito's wireless headphones, and asked:
"How's the situation inside?"
"Still observing..." Kuroba Kaito whispered: "It's a little strange. I only saw a woman and the muscular man who came in last. The treasure hunter from before was gone. Could he have gone underground? of……"
"He is dead……"
Ye Gengyi looked at the corpses that Conan and Dr. Ali had just retrieved from the pond, and said, "Help me keep an eye on the two people in the room."
"Eh? What's going on, brother?" Kuroba Kaito suddenly became alert.
"We don't know who the murderer is yet, but the little detective is here, right outside the house, so be careful."
As soon as Ye Geng finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and was about to call Dr. A Li, but after more than ten seconds...
Can't get through?
Well, there must be no problem with his mobile phone. The problem is that the doctor's mobile phone cannot receive signals at all in the mountains.
The plan to pretend that the work was over and then sneak in was immediately shelved...
It’s not easy. Do we have to disguise ourselves as someone else to contact the media?
In front of the agency house.
Conan had already judged from the strangulation marks on the body's neck that the other party had been killed and thrown into the pond.
Hmm... He had a driver's license and a piece of magatama polished from a stone.
"Man, I saw them over here at the window."
At this time, Kuroba Kaito's voice came from the earphones again, "Do you think they also want to explore this house?"
No need to ask, they are professionals in committing suicide...
As soon as Ye Geng felt the coolness in the air, he raised his head and looked at the sky, which had been clear before, but at this time, a large dark cloud appeared inexplicably, and he remained silent.
