the other side.
Didan Elementary School, which doesn't have much schoolwork, has already rang the school bell.
On the way back.
Mitsuhiko couldn't help but said:
"Conan, you are so cunning. You actually went to London to watch a tennis match during your vacation! I was really shocked when I saw it on TV."
Sure enough... the spread of this kind of global event is really amazing...
Conan had no choice but to explain in an evasive manner:
"That's just good luck. I happened to be invited by someone else."
"Yeah, so good that ten of my fingers were injured and I almost didn't come back." Haiyuan Ai added in a low voice while yawning.
Hey, hey... Conan was ashamed and lowered his head to avoid this question.
Until the attention of the three little heads on the side was attracted by the newly launched Masked Superman in the window of the roadside store.
A certain detective boy then said:
"Don't worry, except for appearing on TV, dad has helped me cover up everything else."
"So? You would suddenly take the second antidote that was originally meant to be used on your return trip, and it happened to be in London, which you have always wanted to go to... Could it be..."
Hui Yuan Ai narrowed his eyes: "Have you confessed your love to her?"
"Eh!?" Conan was shocked...and suddenly felt like he had been seen through.
Haihara Ai interpreted the detective boy's somewhat extreme reaction:
"I want to remind you in advance that even if I have improved the antidote, it can only last for 24 hours at most. Because we still need to consider that the body may have produced antibodies, so some parts will need to be increased in the future. The proportion of the medicine may lead to death due to inability to bear it after taking it for a certain time. Have you considered the danger in this regard?"
Danger...ah...
The man wearing a peaked cap and a mask appeared in Conan's mind, and he murmured in a low voice: "Perhaps I have already met him..."
"What did you say?" Hui Yuan Ai was startled.
"Ah, no...no, it's nothing."
Conan quickly pretended to be stupid.
Regarding the bandage on his finger, he had already discussed it with Dr. Ali. He only said that it was accidentally injured while searching for clues about Hades left around London.
"..."
Huiyuan Ai didn't believe it and was waiting to ask further questions.
Ayumi ran over and joined the conversation: "Huh? What are you talking about?"
"nothing!"
The two hurriedly waved their hands and pretended that nothing happened.
Mitsuhiko suggested: "How about we play hide-and-seek? There happens to be an empty juice can here that Genta finished drinking."
"I know a place that's perfect for playing hide-and-seek!" Yuantai waved his hand and led the way without giving the two a chance to refuse.
Seeing this, Conan and Haiyuan Ai looked at each other and could only follow them silently.
…
The five people walked through the alleys and arrived at the old city.
Yuantai pointed to a building with a rolling shutter door and said, "Look, this is it. I happened to pass by it during my vacation and found that the rolling shutter door was not locked."
Huh? I remember that the demolition of this place is expected to start next week... But why did Genta check whether the building he happened to pass by was locked?
Conan always felt that the growth and development of several children was a bit strange, but when he thought about his daily behavior, he had no shame to educate them.
Just thinking about it.
In front of them, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta had already lifted the rolling shutter door a small section and got inside.
"Hey! You guys..."
Conan came in and said, "Don't mess around. If you meet an adult, you will be scolded."
"What does it matter?" Yuantai said indifferently.
"Conan, we are also thinking about you." Mitsuhiko said: "I originally planned to play football, but with your hand injured like this, you can't be a goalkeeper."
Because a certain big guy is very good at playing football, the three of them 'unilaterally' announced that Conan can only be the goalkeeper when playing football in the future unless everyone agrees.
"Yes, Conan..."
Ayumi also began to persuade: "I remember you were very excited on the cruise and said that you like to play hide and seek."
"But then I started playing football by myself." Haihara Ai also got in and started to cause trouble.
"..."
Conan felt that he was under siege and said helplessly:
"Okay, but you can only play once. You have to go home before dark, by the way! And if you encounter anyone suspicious in the building, you must make a sound to notify me."
"Yeah! Let's rock paper scissors!"
Five people gathered around.
Then a certain detective boy was successfully selected for the role of 'ghost' because he could only draw cloth with bandages on his hands.
No...you all did it on purpose, right?
Conan was a bit belatedly aware of this.
Hearing the sound of the can being kicked down behind him, he took a deep breath, snorted and murmured:
"Forget it, this is also what you suggested. Let's just take this opportunity to vent the frustration accumulated in the past few days."
Find the hiding person through clues and traces?
I can't find Hades in London. Is it possible that the four of you can't be found in this old building?
He counted silently for a minute in compliance with the rules of the game.
Then soon, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Haibara Ai were found at the corner of the stairs on the first floor, in the men's room on the second floor and in a room that could be opened on one side.
"Hmph...how is it? Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
Conan put his injured hand in his pocket with an expression of 'I'm so embarrassed'.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Hui Yuan Ai said sarcastically: "The 'ghost' responsible for arresting people is a guy who has some talent in stalking, tracking down, and trying his best to find hidden people."
Hey, hey, do you want to be so venomous...
Conan wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words to say, so he could only say dullly:
"Is it necessary to describe me like this..."
"Only Genta is left now," Ayumi said.
"Anyway, they will be found soon. This game ended too quickly. How about we play again?" Mitsuhiko seemed to want to compare with a certain detective boy.
"You guys..."
Beep, beep!
Conan was about to lecture when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket heard a different notification sound than before.
He took it out to check and was shocked to find that what was displayed on it was an earthquake warning with a magnitude of at least 5.
There was no time to prepare anything.
Violent shaking followed.
Fortunately, it did not last long. After calming down, the four of them also thought about Moto Kojima, who had not yet been found. They were worried that the entrance to the hiding place might be buried by collapsed objects due to the earthquake just now. Conan hurriedly He took out the detective armband:
"Hello? Genta, are you okay?"
quiet……
A few seconds passed, but no reply came from the detective's armband.
No, it can’t be! ?
A bad premonition came to mind.
It's not yet time for them to turn their concerns into practical actions.
Inside the detective armband came Mota Kojima's helpless answer:
"Conan, you are so treacherous. You even use a detective armband when playing hide-and-seek..."
