Just as Ayumi was about to speak, she was interrupted by Conan.
"We didn't find anything!" Conan said in a cute voice.
Now the situation here is getting more and more complicated. In addition to Kaitou Kidd who is probably here, July is also here. Also, I don't know who killed the man whose body was buried in the pond outside.
Kaitou Kidd doesn't seem to know how to kill, but as for July...
Considering that Qi Qi had saved them before, he didn't want to doubt Qi Qi, but he couldn't let his feelings interfere with his judgment.
It was strange that a scavenger appeared at the treasure hunter's treasure spot. Someone else might have hired July to come here.
In the notepad left by the murdered man, it was mentioned that 'with a capable partner', 'lure out the bumbling thief'... July is definitely a 'capable partner', and Kaitou Kidd's bounty
, is enough for July to act, so it is also possible that the man outside worked together with July, one person took the treasure, the other captured Kidd, and the two turned against each other.
Will July be the kind of person who attacks his companions?
Before being sure of the remaining contents of the dead man's notebook, July had this suspicion.
And even if it's not July, there are other dangerous people hiding here, so they can't tell them about the magatama-like stone, otherwise the murderer should know that they have found the body and suspect that they have called the police.
.
No matter whether the murderer ran away or attacked them in anger, it was not the result he wanted to see.
…
While Conan was quietly explaining his intentions to the rest of the Young Detective Team, the burly man also approached Chi Feichi.
"Hey, Qi Qi, do you know those five little ghosts?"
"These little guys are very curious. I followed a group of robbers into the mountains before and met them." Chi Feichi spoke in a falsetto and a lazy tone, looking very careless. He looked back and muttered to the crowd.
of five children, "The kid with glasses was hit in the abdomen by a stray bullet last time. He's lucky if he doesn't die."
The man wanted to tell the man in black robes in front of him, 'Be gentle with the children and don't use the knife to rob them', but he was worried that it would cause conflicts, so he hesitated and asked, "Do you hate children?"
"I didn't use a gun last time," Chi Feichi said.
The man understood, that is to say, it wasn't that Qi Qi didn't care about the children's life, but that these children were so desperate that they actually ran near the battle zone between armed robbers and Qi, and one of them was hit by a stray bullet. "Since you
If you don’t hate children, then let’s take them with us. If we let them run around in this house, maybe it won’t take long for us to help them collect their bodies, and we can also prevent them from running into any mechanism and harming us all.
Get into danger together.”
Chi Fei didn't think much about it, "Then take it with you."
The man sighed in his heart, 'Big guys are just casual', and turned around and said, "Hey, kiddos! If you don't want to be in danger, you'd better follow us and stop running around!"
Conan raised his head and smiled, "Thank you, uncle~!"
It seems that these two people have almost figured out the mechanisms here. Since there is a 'free ride' on them, why not? It is much better than them running around.
As a group of people walked into the house, the children couldn't help but chatter.
"...It turns out that Qi Qi saved you," the man scratched his head and smiled after hearing how the children got to know 'Qi Qi', "But you are really too reckless!"
Guangyan looked at a certain man in black robe, "Qiyue, you haven't appeared for a long time!"
Ayumi nodded, "There are liars pretending to be Qiyue!"
Haiyuan Ai yawned and glanced sideways at Conan, who had been bowing his head in thought.
After the last royal train, she told Brother Fei Chi to take a rest, and there was no news about 'July' after that. However, it seems that Brother Fei Chi still likes to reward bounties, and he did not lose his interest in bounties after taking a break.
interest of.
As for what Edogawa was thinking, she could probably guess a little bit.
She is just wondering if 'July' is the murderer of the man outside, but she has more clues than Edogawa, and her judgment should be closer to the truth——
The man who was killed found a "competent partner" and wanted to find the treasure and lure out Kaitou Kidd to take care of it. Kaitou Kidd found her brother Fei Chi, who was July.
To put it simply, this time it was like a 2V2 fight, except that there seemed to be internal strife on the other side, and one of them killed the other before the fight started.
She was a little curious. Did Brother Fei Chi know that the person they had a fight with had already died?
"It's the same as what Conan said..." Mitsuhiko murmured. He saw the burly man and his friends looking at him and a certain man in black robes who had never faced them. "Conan said before that Qiyue doesn't seem to be used to it.
If you look at people with your eyes, but are used to turning your head towards the person speaking with your ears, that might be... uh..."
"Qiyue, can't you see it?" Ayumi asked cautiously and softly.
The burly man was a little surprised, and turned to look at the man in black robe walking beside him, "No wonder when I talked to you before, I always felt something was strange..."
Now that I think about it carefully, the strange thing is that Qi Qi never seems to look directly at them.
Chi Feichi chose to remain silent.
It's hard to answer this question. It's true that he can't see with his eyes now because he's blindfolded, but he can see with his hot eyes.
So the question is, does using thermal eye detection count as seeing?
Seeing the silence of the man in black robe beside him, the burly man knew that he didn't want to say anything, so he scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's blocked by the mask, right? There doesn't seem to be any holes in your mask, but no matter what,
Being able to move freely in this environment relying on your hearing is truly a month of July!"
Conan, who was distracted along the way, suddenly looked up and asked aloud, "Qiyue, are you hired by someone to get here?"
"Do you think I will reveal this information?" Chi Feichi asked in a gentle and casual voice.
Conan choked and continued to ask curiously, "Then why did you fight with the spider last time? To the extent that you chased the spider all the way regardless of whether the people would be hit by stray bullets. Do you have any grudge against that guy?
?”
Chi Feichi's tone became a little lazier again, "The spider provokes me, and it's worth money."
The detective has so many questions, I'm disgusted.
If he wasn't worried that the cold scene would remind Conan of 'Chi Feichi', he really wouldn't want to answer.
Conan: "..."
Provocative... valuable... because of this?
Look, bounty hunters are really lawless.
"By the way," Mitsuhiko looked at the burly man, "We haven't asked uncle what his last name is yet!"
"You can't say that," the burly man said with a smile. "If other bounty hunters want to hide their true identities, most of them hide their appearance or other characteristics and let their code names spread so that employers can contact them. But we treasure hunters usually
On the way to find treasures or in a closed place, you don’t need too much fame, as long as you have good things in hand, and sometimes you have to contact the buyer. In order to prevent others from mistaking the wrong person by just recognizing the code name, I usually don’t
I conceal my appearance, so I will never tell you my code name. Now that Qi Qi has seen my appearance, I don’t want him to know my code name again.”
"Uncle, have you done a lot of bad things?" Yuantai asked curiously.
Mitsuhiko added, "So you are worried about being caught by Qi Qi?"
The burly man sweated and waved his hands quickly, "How is that possible? I didn't do anything bad!"
Ahead, a pool blocked the way forward. In the darkness, there seemed to be many living koi carp swimming in the water.
The three children couldn't help but ran to the pool, turned on the watch-shaped flashlight, and illuminated the clear water.
"There is actually a pool in the house."
"There are still live fish, are they connected to the pond outside?"
“There’s actually a bridge!”
Yuantai used a watch-shaped flashlight to illuminate the small wooden bridge over the pond. He saw a wooden board at the end of the bridge that had sunk in a little. He said proudly, "That's also a trap hole, right? I won't be fooled again this time!"
"No, it looks similar, but it's not..." The burly man stepped forward, stood directly on the sunken board, and looked at Chi Feichi, "In July, let's go find the one upstairs first!
"
"Click."
The wooden board under the man's feet sank, and the wooden board above his head opened. The wooden boards next to him also bounced open. The iron ropes under the wooden board swung out, pulling the wooden board under the man's feet upward.
Chi Feichi stepped forward and climbed onto the wooden board that was pulled up slowly by the iron cable.
Genta and Mitsuhiko also got on the board and pulled Haibara Ai and Ayumi along.
"cool!"
“It’s like an elevator!”
"Conan, hurry up too!"
"Ah, okay!" Conan, who was standing aside looking at the wall, responded, jumped up on the board and looked at the burly man, "You just said that upstairs..."
The burly man looked at the opening of the floor above and said, "You guys were making a lot of noise just now. Someone upstairs was disturbed and deliberately made footsteps to tell us that there was someone upstairs."
Conan laughed dryly, "Okay, it seems they made too much noise when they came in. Everyone who was hiding in this room should know that a child came in."
"Here, if you want to go up, look for a place that looks like it's going down. If you want to go down, look for a place that looks like it's going up." Mitsuhiko analyzed, "Isn't that right?"
Genta smiled and said, "As long as you know the rules set by Sansui Kichiemon, it's very simple!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Ban Ban led a group of people to the second floor, a dagger flew over and nailed it to the wooden board next to Yuantai's head.
"Ah!" Ayumi screamed in fright.
Conan also quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the children.
Yuantai froze with a pale face, feeling suddenly aggrieved.
(╥﹏╥)
Damn it, why him again?
This was the second time today that a sharp blade flew past him!
"Fool, if it were really that simple, there would be no need to spend so much effort looking for the treasure." Standing on the second floor was a tall and thin woman with short hair. When she spoke, she was holding a dagger of the same style in her hand.
Looking at a group of people, "right? Treasure hunters with children, and... July."
"I didn't bring these children," the burly man pulled out the dagger nailed to Yuantai's ear, turned to the woman, "and you used a knife on children, it wouldn't sound good if you said it, right?"
The woman put the dagger under her sleeveless denim jacket and reminded her nonchalantly, "Look carefully at the tip of the knife!"
The burly man looked down and saw a dead spider nailed to the tip of the knife. He was surprised and said, "Poisonous spider?!"
