Feeling the tense atmosphere, Feichi felt a little excited as he listened to Chi Feichi's heartbeat gradually slowing down, like a cheetah ready to go, and began to mutter, "There are still people in the aisle behind the second row of lockers. No one, the last row! Only the aisle of the last row of lockers is left! Let’s see which little unlucky guy it is... uh..."
Gin and Vodka ducked to the last row of lockers. The flashlight beam still only illuminated the two of them, and the middle aisle was still empty.
Feichi silently observed the second-to-last row of lockers with his hot eyes. There was a thermal body huddled in the bottom row of lockers, which looked familiar...
Seeing that there was still no one else in the aisle, Vodka was surprised and confused, "No, no one, brother..."
Chi Feichi, who was following Vodka, stepped forward and looked past Vodka, always staring at the row of lockers.
If you calm down and listen carefully, you can still hear the rapid breathing, albeit slightly.
He didn't believe that Gin couldn't hear or distinguish such an obvious sound.
Gin Jiu raised his eyes to look at Chi Fei Chi, and found that Chi Fei Chi was also aware of it. He turned his head slightly towards the lockers, walked lightly towards the middle aisle.
Chi Feichi understood what Ginjiu meant and also walked into the aisle with gentle steps.
The two stopped at the same time on the right side of the locker, where the sound of breathing was relatively clear.
As he got closer, Feichi recognized the thermal body in the locker and was stunned, "Master, it seems to be Conan..."
What should we do now?
"Click!"
Gin had already started to open the top locker. After seeing that the compartment was not open, he was somewhat surprised.
"Click!"
Chi Feichi opened the locker on the second floor and found nothing strange.
He understood why in this plot, so many of Gin's lockers couldn't be opened, so he had to open this column, and he almost found Conan.
Gasp!
Conan's gasp gave away his position.
Since the environment of the lockers and storage room is a bit empty, I can't tell which compartment it is in, but I can still tell which one it is in.
Well, one question remains.
In the original plot, why did Gin suddenly give up and continue the inspection?
In the locker, Conan huddled on the bottom floor, listening to the sound of the lockers above being opened one after another, feeling confused and breathing heavily.
Even a locker with such a small space is checked?
frenzied!
Also, the space in the locker was too small, the gaps were too narrow, and there was already a lack of air. He already felt faintly out of breath.
"Click!"
The lockers on the third floor were opened by Gin.
"Brother..." Vodka didn't know why, "Lark?"
What are these two people thinking? How could someone be hidden in such a small locker?
When Fei Chi saw Chi Fei Chi, he crouched down, stretched out his hand towards the last floor, and shed a cold sweat for Conan, "Master, it's Conan, it's Conan, it's Conan..."
Hey, isn't the master's position distorted again?
Without hesitation, Chi Fei reached out and pulled the handle of the locker at the bottom, but when the door opened a gap, his movement suddenly stopped.
Almost at the same time, Gin Jiu also reached out and held Chi Feichi's hand, preventing Chi Feichi from continuing to open the cabinet.
In the locker with a crack opened, Conan held his breath nervously and looked at the ray of light coming from the outside world, his eyes full of fear.
"Forget it, Luck," Ginjiu noticed that Chi Feichi was showing signs of stopping and let go, "How could an adult hide in a place like this..."
The two looked at each other and quickly looked away.
"Right……"
Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice, with a smile on his lips, closed the cabinet door with a crack, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
"Ah?" Vodka looked at Chi Feichi who stood up in confusion, "Lark, are you talking about the person hired by the guy in Itakura?"
Wait, Lark is...laughing?
That smile was very strange, neither mocking nor sneering, nor happy nor happy. It was very clean, too clean, so clean that there was no emotion or warmth at all.
"Well, maybe that guy has already called the police," Gin smiled with an unknown meaning, turned around and walked out, "Vodka, be careful in the future, it's best not to make this kind of mistake again... I always feel like someone wants to dig it up For organizing matters, maybe it’s an old fox like a detective..."
Seeing that both Ginjiu and Chi Feichi left without hesitation, Vodka followed them confused.
In the locker, Conan let out a long sigh of relief and panted heavily.
This kind of suffering in the world scared him to death.
what to do? Should he follow?
No, we can't act too hastily. If those people don't leave and ambush outside, he will be caught if he goes out.
But what is the purpose of those guys? Haibara makes weird medicines, and Taku Itakura is a programmer and has nothing to do with medicines.
What I gave up for humanity...
The oxygen in the locker became less and less, and Conan's consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell asleep in the locker. Only the hands of the watch on his wrist were still moving tirelessly.
"Kacha... Kacha... Kacha..."
…
Outside Xianqiao Station.
After leaving the underground floor, which was still under construction, the air became much fresher.
Gin stopped at the station entrance, "Vodka, you go back first."
"Okay, brother!" Vodka originally wanted to ask what happened just now, but when Gin asked him to go back, he didn't ask any more questions and turned around to drive his car.
Gin watched the vodka get on the car, "We'll have the answer by tomorrow morning at the latest."
Chi Feichi just glanced at it and then looked away, "Withdrawal?"
He understood why Gin didn't open the last locker in the original plot.
The moment he opened the locker, Conan held his breath in the locker. Without the sound insulation of the locker, and in that quiet room, the soft 'click' sound was very harsh.
He knew that it should be Conan's watch hands moving, but he still paused reflexively.
The ticking time bomb's countdown sound is very similar to that sound.
At that time, the upper three floors of the locker had been opened, and the compartments were not damaged. There was no way to hide an adult. So, there were only two situations.
Or, there's a kid hiding in the locker.
Or, there is a bomb in the locker that is counting down the seconds and may explode at any time, or even explode if touched.
Since construction was going on inside, there was still some paint smell left, and it was impossible to tell whether there was gunpowder smell from the pungent smell.
Even if the latter was only one in 10,000, Gin would not open the locker, nor let him open the locker, nor even shoot into the locker through the door.
There is limited space for dodge inside, and it is underground. Once it explodes, even if you don't die on the spot, it will be very troublesome and embarrassing to be buried underneath and wait for the police and rescue teams to arrive.
It's easy to confirm what's inside.
If people continue to squat and guard, if no one takes away the suspected bomb from inside and there is no explosion by tomorrow morning, then there is a child hidden in the locker.
You don’t have to take risks yourself, and you won’t suffer any losses.
Ginjiu didn't know how much trouble that child would bring to the organization. In order to avoid situations such as bomb explosions and being surrounded after being poisoned by sleeping gas, Ginjiu would rather not check on it.
And tonight is really tiring. I had some action at noon yesterday. I drove a long distance to deliver money in the afternoon. I returned to Tokyo and ran to Xianqiao Station in the early morning. In the blink of an eye, it was almost five o'clock in the morning. Gin probably didn't plan to go back. Got through it.
It’s not that you can’t stay up late, but that when you need to be alert for accidents at any time, your energy will gradually be consumed and your concentration will decrease. Once you encounter an accident, you may not be able to respond in time. For those of them who do shady things, It's equally dangerous for humans.
"There is no need to wait for news," Gin took out his mobile phone and sent an email, "Neither detectives nor police officers will plant bombs. Although it is not ruled out that That guy Itakura has found a bounty hunter as dangerous as you. But before, someone saw a kid running in, wearing a hat. They didn't see his face clearly. I think it was probably the kid who was scared and hid in the locker. He was just a kid. Even if he heard something, as long as he There are no suspicious signs at Xianqiao Station, and no one will believe him..."
Chi Feichi said 'hmm'.
He suddenly remembered that when taking action against Moori Kogoro, Gin said firmly, "Even the kid will be dealt with." It was estimated that the root cause was tonight.
Once the 'child' gets involved with 'Mouri Kogoro, a suspected investigative organization', it will be worth noting.
I wonder if Gin will regret that he was a little dismissive tonight and didn't work harder to find a way to force the little devil out of the locker.
However, he estimated that Gin would not regret it. In this unclear situation, if Gin was asked to make a new choice, Gin would still do it.
Stay alive, you will win if you are alive, you will have a chance to make a comeback, and you will have nothing if you die.
After Gin finished sending the email, he put his phone back into his windbreaker pocket, "Where should I take you?"
"Anywhere near Acupido-cho 3-chome."
…
Three hours later, it was daylight.
The snow on the streets has been cleared by snowplows, and more and more pedestrians are coming.
A car stopped on the side of the road. The driver did not get out of the car. The lenses of the black-rimmed glasses on his face were somewhat reflective. His blocked eyes were staring at the construction workers who were entering. His face was expressionless and the corners of his mouth were slightly downward.
At the intersection not far away, Akai Hide leaned against the wall on one side, with an earphone plugged into his right ear. The long earphone cord was pressed under his scarf and coat, and he put the cell phone in his pocket that was being called.
"Yeah...it's been three hours and nothing has happened...I'll keep an eye on it...oh? The little boy didn't go back last night?"
Akai Shuichi glanced at the cars parked on the roadside and looked at Xianqiao Station.
The construction workers went in with construction tools. Not long after, the noise of construction came from inside.
Could it be that the kid from the Mori Detective Agency came here?
In the car on the side of the road ahead, Belmod looked at Shinde Tomaki's gentle face in disguise, but his face was very gloomy and ugly, without any gentle feeling at all. He reached out to touch the cigarette case from his pocket, but found it empty. , then he remembered that he still had to play the role of a healthy and good man who didn't smoke, and retracted his hand.
Itakura Zhuo was the person she was responsible for contacting before. She had the right to know whether the transaction was completed or not.
At five o'clock in the morning, she received the email from that person.
There was a problem with the transaction with Itakura Taku. Itakura Taku was suspected of entrusting others to investigate and collect organizational intelligence, and the software was not completed...
Gin and Vodka were responsible for this transaction, but she asked the peripheral members who were watching nearby. The transaction time was advanced, and Lark seemed to have come running over. Also, there was a child entering the station.
She always felt that the situation was not good, and couldn't sit still and wanted to come and take a look. But at about six o'clock in the morning, when she passed by the previous station, she saw Dr. A Li looking at the time anxiously, with the police behind him, that kind of ominous The premonition is stronger.
Now that the construction workers have entered the station, the next step is to wait until someone finds a suspicious body, or...
Calm and calm.
