"you……"
Hui Yuan Ai's breath was stagnant.
I automatically made up the images of Dr. being steamed, Dr. being sashimied, and Dr. being torn into pieces.
If children were treated the same way...
Calm down, calm down, Edogawa has fallen, you can't mess up anymore!
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to promise not to hurt them."
"Oh? When did the weak become qualified to negotiate terms? Shouldn't this awareness have been prepared in advance when you decided to take risks? As for the harm..."
Ye Gengyi picked up Conan's collar with one hand, stretched out his thumb and index finger of his right hand in front of Haihara Ai, pinched the little detective's stomach hard, and then put it back on his shoulder. :
"It feels pretty good."
Haibara Ai:"……"
Is it an illusion? Why do I feel that this threat has no sense of urgency at all...
…
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the underground hot spring.
“Wow, there are so many waterfalls here too!”
A stupid kid who didn't care about eating or fighting stuck his head out, looked at the eight streams of water carved out of the cliff, and admired them sincerely.
Feeling the warmth and slightly moist fresh air hitting their faces, everyone was refreshed.
The short-haired man continued to lead the way to the bottom of the stone steps:
"I guess this hot spring was accidentally dug by Kichiemon Sansui when he was building the secret room. He deliberately opened the exit below in order to use the steam to create a natural barrier... But the road inside It’s very safe, you can leave here just by walking.”
"Hmph, I see. He is truly a master of mechanisms."
The medium-haired woman hummed, turning around as if she wanted to take another look at the hot spring, but she happened to see Ye Gengyi and the unconscious Conan he was carrying on his shoulders.
"Hey! What's going on?" The short-haired woman frowned slightly.
The questioning also attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Gengyi folded up the pair of flat mirrors covered with water mist and put them into his coat pocket, and said calmly:
"The child's feet were very slippery. He accidentally fell down and fainted. The little girl can testify."
"That's probably it. It was too dark in the tunnel and I couldn't see clearly." Haiyuan Ai had no expression on his face.
Ah, this, brother, you must be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge... Kuroba Kaito uttered something silently, and then continued to sarcastically use his hoarse voice:
"Oh my, you must be too keen on treasure hunting, so you were punished. It's really funny. Everyone should go back quickly. Maybe there won't be any treasures here from the beginning."
"It makes sense. It's not a bad thing to listen to others' advice..."
Ye Gengyi said, came to the exit, patted the two treasure hunters in front of him with his left hand, and said: "I'm ready to leave. If you two still want to continue exploring, then come on."
"Hmph, I'm ready to leave too. Maybe the secret code of the gem was originally a joke by Sansui Kichiemon." The short-haired woman responded directly.
"I would like to investigate this mechanism house again," the short-haired man looked at Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito: "Since you both want to leave, let's part ways from here."
…
In the passage, three little figures gathered around Hui Yuan Ai and muttered.
Yuantai said dissatisfied: "Conan must have been too careless. He actually fell down in the tunnel. Alas... we were just a hair away from finding the third artifact."
He was indeed careless, but it was not that he accidentally fell, but that he was accidentally kidnapped...
Haiyuan Ai rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly realized that it was indeed not a wise choice to play adventure games with several children.
She sighed silently and said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. Whether it's the two words or the sun and the place where many old people gathered carved in the stone lantern, we don't know what it means at all... and Edogawa also fainted, We can’t just leave him alone.”
"Okay." The trio of young detectives nodded, indicating that they chose the former between friendship and gems.
Haiyuan Ai let out a sigh of relief, but the pressure accumulated deep in his heart did not ease at all.
Kudo is still a hostage in the hands of that man, and the doctor... assuming nothing happened to him, he should have brought the police over by now. What should I do...
What would Geng Yi do if he was here?
no!
We can't think of him as a reference. Even if we think of countermeasures, we don't have the ability to implement them.
In this tangled mood, Haihara Ai suddenly saw Conan crossing his hands and making a calming gesture towards her.
The group of people also left the secret passage smoothly and came to the outside of the mechanism house.
"Huh...it still makes people feel at ease outside!"
Yuantai was the first to rush out again. He looked around for a moment and said strangely: "Huh? It's already dark. It seems that the doctor hasn't come back yet?"
"Doctor?" Kuroba Kaito asked pretending to be confused, "Is he someone you know?"
"Well," Ayumi said unsuspectingly, "The doctor went to see the police. Logically speaking, he should be back soon."
"Oh...really?" Kuroba Kaito chuckled in a low voice, "Then I, an old woman, won't stay with you. You should go down the mountain quickly, if you don't want to be cursed by Nioh."
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Ye Gengyi, "Young man, what about you? Do you want to stay too?"
"Not interested in."
Ye Gengyi threw Conan to the ground as if he was throwing an object, "The ability to withstand beatings is good, but the acting skills are a bit poor."
"Ouch!"
Conan squatted on the ground and kept rubbing his butt, but his right hand never left the switch range of the strength-enhancing shoes.
"Stop being so smart." After Ye Geng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Hehehe... interesting little guys." Kuroba Kaito also smiled sadly and walked in the other direction.
"Hey! What's going on?" Hui Yuan Ai finally couldn't help but ask.
Conan stood up, continued to rub his butt, and said with a grin: "I heard your conversation at the exit, but I don't know why he pinched me awake after knocking me out..."
"Pinch, pinch wake up..." Hui Yuan Ai's expression was a little unnatural.
The three little heads looked over strangely: "Conan, you didn't fall, but were you knocked unconscious by that big brother?"
"Yes." Conan reluctantly lifted up his shirt, revealing a purple-to-blue handprint.
"this……"
Haibara Ai thought of some possibility: "Do you think he is Kaitou Kidd?"
"Who knows," Conan said with a depressed face, "But... I always feel like he doesn't want us to continue looking for the Nioh Stone."
"But is it really okay to just let them leave like this?"
Mitsuhiko looked left and right in the direction the two were leaving, "They might also be murderers."
"It's better not to take risks and do things you are not sure about..."
Haibara Ai crossed his arms across his chest and breathed out softly: "Maybe he didn't kill all of us because we were all children. Besides, Edogawa couldn't untie Sansui Kichiemon Liu. Is there a code for coming down? Instead of staying here and looking for trouble, it’s better to go down the mountain quickly to confirm why the doctor hasn’t come back after so long.”
"That's what I said, but..."
Conan's half-moon eyes said, "Who said I didn't unlock the code?"
