"We'd better hide inside first. Even if there's an earthquake, the top layer won't collapse easily."
Iwanaga Jo'er clung to the stones of the cave with both hands, worried that they would abandon her and leave, and also afraid that these people would let her run out to explore the way.
In addition to being nervous and worried, he didn't even want to wipe his misty glasses. He didn't know if he could still see clearly in such a dim environment.
The two treasure hunters were also silent.
Without weapons, they couldn't even defeat the high school girl in their current state.
And... the man dressed in black also had a gun in his hand.
"Just wait here for rescue."
Ye Gengyi put the shotgun aside and sat on the ground.
Under that calm face, it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Xiaolan, we should be able to go back alive."
Due to the injury to her arm, coupled with the extremely physical exertion of diving, fighting, and climbing, Suzuki Sonoko, who had only eaten one breakfast, looked frighteningly pale at this time.
"It's definitely fine, Yuanzi, please sit down for a while, hiss... it's so hot, you have a fever."
Before Mao Lilan finished her words of comfort, she was frightened by the warmth coming from her palms. She quickly took off her jacket and handed it over.
"It's best not to do this, because your clothes are also wet. Covering her will only speed up the loss of her body temperature." Matsumoto Koji's face was also a little pale. He covered the wound wrapped with a strip of cloth and said to several people. : "Furthermore, according to my experience, this storm will last at least one night. Can your companion really persist until that time?"
"I almost forgot, Sonoko's wound will get infected, but it's the work of the two of you."
Ye Geng did not give the other party a chance to take the initiative in speaking. With one sentence, the two treasure hunters almost thought that he was going to take action again.
"Hey, little brother... don't get me wrong," Matsumoto Koji's mouth twitched: "I mean, there must be plants on this island that can reduce fever, and I happen to know some knowledge in this area. You see... I My hand is also injured, this night must be particularly difficult, why not go out and look for it now."
Are they trying to play some tricks?
Conan frowned and said nothing, staring at the two people and thinking for a while.
Treasure hunters can not only sail boats and dive, but also have rich survival skills in the forest.
If they use some insidious means to escape the sanctions of the law, then people like themselves will be really in danger, but if they refuse... what will Yuanzi do?
"Okay. I'll go with you two." Ye Gengyi's voice directly interrupted his analysis.
Conan's expression fell instantly.
...Yes, with Brother Gengyi here, when will it be my turn to make the decision?
However, persuasion is still needed.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm going too! If you need to collect plants that grow in the gaps between stones, I can also help."
With your big head and small arms? Even if I don't need any mechanical equipment, I can just find a wooden stick to solve the problem.
Ye Geng glanced at a certain detective, defaulting to not hearing what the other person said, and letting the boy realize it on his own. He then turned to a certain tourism section leader and said, "Mr. Iwanaga, you have to go."
"Ah I???"
Iwanaga Chengji pointed at his nose with a look of disbelief.
"Xiaolan wants to take care of the garden here, so I don't feel comfortable leaving you here."
Ye Geng said expressionlessly: "Do you still think that if I am killed by these two guys with evil intentions in the forest, they will let you go, the person who killed their companions?"
"What... He was the one who killed Yamada?!"
Suddenly, Matsumoto Koji and Izuyama Taro stared at each other with ferocious eyes.
For a moment, he even ignored Ye Gengyi's description of the two of them in the first half of his sentence.
Are you looking for a chance to kill Ye Gengyi?
Of course I have to look for it!
As long as this capable young man is killed, the female high school student with good martial arts can be killed from a distance with the stolen shotgun.
Otherwise, if they stay here and wait for rescue, what awaits them will be the foreseeable prison and behind bars.
As for the resentment towards Iwanaga Joji.
To be honest, they didn't have such a strong sense of honor and disgrace for this small improvised treasure hunting group.
If a partner dies, they can take revenge if they can. If they can't, they won't risk their lives and being caught to find trouble.
Just like when they searched in the secret room of the underwater palace and found out that there was no treasure on the pirate ship. After the two vented their dissatisfaction, the first priority was to eliminate traces and find a way to escape.
As for now, I heard the truth about Poyan Yongcheng'er's murderer from Ye Geng.
The most direct reason why the two treasure hunters felt angry and unhappy was because it was the blood bag this guy put in the buoyancy suit that put them in this situation.
"No, I didn't..."
Iwanaga Chenger's whole body felt cold and he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't find any reason at all.
Ye Gengyi responded from the side: "Stop pretending, the shotgun you used to snipe them last night was this one. How about it? Do you still insist on staying here and waiting for us to come back from collecting medicine?"
"I'll go...I'll just go with you..."
Iwanaga Chengji lowered his head in resignation, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes that were completely hidden under the lenses.
The four of them each had their own thoughts, and finally reached the depths of the forest against the howling wind.
Conan followed.
His logic is very simple. There are only seven of them on the island. As long as he helps Brother Geng keep an eye on these two treasure hunters and the head of the tourism department, he will be safe.
Matsumoto Koji said that he had some common sense about survival in the wild, but he was not just making it up to lure people out.
After a while, he found a few wild Panax notoginseng plants, put them directly into his mouth, chewed them up, and applied them to the wounds on his palms.
"Conan, pick a few plants and bring them back to the garden." Ye Geng held a shotgun in one hand and seemed to have no chance of leaving his back to the others.
After speaking, he looked at Izuyama Taro and said: "In the secret room under the sea, you said that the treasure was taken away by a man wearing glasses. Who is that man? Did he decide to come here to hunt for treasures like you guys?"
Hearing this, Conan froze in his movement of collecting herbs, and instinctively turned his head to observe the expressions of the two treasure hunters.
Anger, nervousness...and fear...
And then.
"I don't know if he was the one who took the treasure, but there is no doubt that he must be a treasure hunter." Matsumoto Koji said.
"Who is that man! Have you ever met him? What does he look like except wearing glasses?" Conan's questions came out like a barrage of questions.
"Answer him." Ye Gengyi provided force assistance from the side.
"Hmm... the appearance."
Matsumoto Koji thought for a moment and said helplessly: "Because it was too dark at the time, I didn't see his appearance clearly. Oh, by the way! That person's tone of voice was more gentle, but his moves were very ruthless... …”
Sure enough it was him!
Matsumoto Koji's answer made Conan suddenly panic.
… When Brother Gengyi and I came to the island, the wind and waves on the sea were already very strong. Unless that person had been hiding at the entrance to the seabed, there was no way we would not have bumped into him.
No way!
He turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
