In the dark night, large tracts of snowflakes fell downwards, trying hard to cover up the footprints on the snowfield and the snow spots near the footprints.
Yamao Keisuke followed the footprints for a while and found that the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier. He gritted his teeth with some annoyance and turned back with a shotgun.
The coat used as bait next to the car is a men's jacket. The gray cloth has brown traces of fire and blood spots. If nothing else, the injured person is Chi Feichi, and the person who walked into the snowy field is also
Chi Fei Chi.
The footprints on the snow also seemed to be male, and there were only male footprints, indicating that Tono ran off the car somewhere.
The sky was too dark, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the footprints were almost invisible, and the bloodstains were covered up to an unknown extent, to the point where they were almost invisible.
He couldn't pursue it any further, he couldn't pursue it any further. In this kind of weather, even if the locals walked into the snowfield rashly, they might get lost and freeze to death in the wilderness.
What's more, he went to prison eight years ago and just came out not long ago. He is not familiar with this area of the new village. If he chases him in, he may be buried here.
A foreigner who was injured and walked into the snowfield alone would be even less likely to survive.
He had to evacuate quickly before the fleeing Tono called the police or a large group of villagers, otherwise the drug would wear off by then and he might be surrounded by people.
He was just a little distressed. If he had known that no shot was fired when he caught up, he shouldn't have taken those exorbitantly priced pills.
There is only one left now, and he will not use it again unless absolutely necessary...
Heavy snow and darkness obscured people's sight. As Yamao Keisuke walked step by step out of the snowfield, he didn't notice that there was a person behind him with his eyes closed, standing quietly not far from him.
After Yamao Keisuke left, Chi Feichi opened his eyes, turned around and walked into the depths of the snowfield. He took out his mobile phone and checked it. After finding that there was no signal, he closed his eyes again, put away his mobile phone and continued walking in.
If it weren't for looking at the mobile phone, what I see when I open my eyes now is not as much as what I can see with my hot eyes under the influence of snake slough.
In order to make Yamao Keisuke think that he would definitely die and decisively give up the chase, he also sacrificed two bottles of 'blood food' he had brought.
The wind and snow were so heavy that Yamao Keisuke gave up so quickly, which made him feel that he had wasted his blood and food.
That was a bottle of his favorite mint-flavored blood grain for mixing wine, and a bottle of braised chicken blood grain suitable for drinking alone...
But he also got an opportunity to observe Yamao Keisuke's physical condition with his hot eyes.
Preliminary observation shows that after Yamao Keisuke took the medicine, his body did not change much. The temperature and color of the internal organs and brain were normal and stable throughout, with no signs of damage. This also proves that his medicine was the same as in previous experiments...
At least there won't be any immediate side effects.
As for the impact on the immune system, such as whether it will be damaged, it is not yet possible to estimate.
…
Twenty minutes later, Chi Feichi braved the wind and snow to arrive at Zejiri Lake. He found the swans living in the lake, asked about the direction of the dam, and asked if there were any animals near the dam that could still move at night in snowy weather.
He had no intention of letting the swan lead the way.
Many birds are no different from being blind at night, and even less so on heavy snowy days. There are not many birds like Feimo who do not suffer from night blindness.
However, these swans live here, and when the weather is fine, they will fly nearby to know which direction the dam is, and also understand some conditions in the snowfields and forests.
After asking for the direction, he could find it by himself. When he got nearby, he could easily locate the dam by relying on the lights on the dam at night.
An hour later, Kogoro Mouri and the villagers arrived at the scene of the car explosion on the road.
After the curve, the front side of the car hit the mountain wall and was deeply dented. The entire car was scorched black and the door was deformed due to the explosion.
Since the snow had been falling for more than an hour, although the snow had lightened up a lot after a group of people arrived, there was still a thin layer of snow piled up near the car.
Next to the car, there was a half-burned coat, lying alone on the ground with a thin layer of snow on it.
Tono Mizuki was wrapped in a blanket brought by the villagers. He stared at his coat for a moment, then turned to look at the stunned and solemn face of Mouri Kogoro next to him, and said guiltily, "Mr. Mouri... yes, I'm sorry."
If she hadn't called Chi Feichi out with the intention of hurting Chi Feichi, Chi Feichi's life and death would not be unknown now.
After the gunman entered the snowy field, she immediately called the police, regardless of whether the gunman would kill him or not. After finding her hiding here, she called the Kitazawa Villa to find Mr. Mori.
The wind and snow were so heavy that the police could not go up the mountain. Fortunately, Mr. Mori rushed over immediately after being woken up. In addition, she called Fuyumi and asked Fuyumi to find many villagers, which made her feel a little more relieved.
Some comfort.
The premise is not to watch this tragic scene.
Mouri Kogoro exhaled a breath and comforted him rationally, "No, Miss Mizuki, you also came out to Feichi because you thought you had found a clue. It was not your fault that you were attacked."
"Yeah, Mizuki, don't think too much..."
"You must have been frightened just now, go to the side and take a rest."
"Don't worry, we are here. If that guy comes out again, we will definitely catch him!"
The villagers holding flashlights comforted each other, and some murmured quietly.
"There must be a few children among Mr. Chi's companions. Fortunately, the children didn't come over, otherwise they would have been frightened and cried..."
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan who was following him, and stepped forward to check the coat on the ground.
No, there is still a kid following you.
After receiving the call, the staff of Beizawa Villa went to his room, banged on the door, and shouted, "Mr. Maori is not well." In addition, there was also a vague noise outside the villa, which woke up everyone in the room next to him.
.
Fortunately, the staff was sensible and did not shout out directly. Instead, they waited for him to open the door and then told him in a low voice.
As soon as he heard that his apprentice and Mizuki Tono were held at gunpoint when they went out and were forced to call for help, he lost sleep at that time. However, at that time, he thought that the two of them were forced to hide somewhere. First
The idea was - don't let the doctor, the three girls and the children worry for now, he took his people and drove to support immediately.
There was no other way to bring Conan here. If Conan hadn't comforted and persuaded those brats, he rushed here anxiously. I'm afraid he really didn't know how to comfort those people, so when Conan followed the car, he turned a blind eye.
.
When he got here, he discovered that the only one hiding was Tono Mizuki, and his apprentice was planning to drive the people away, but his life and death were unknown, and his whereabouts were unknown. Even Tono Mizuki, before they came over, was behind a snowdrift.
I shrank for an hour, and my face was so cold that my tears and nose turned into icicles.
The situation is so serious, it is right to bring the Conan kid here, at least there will be someone who can remind him of the things he can't notice.
Conan followed Kogoro Mouri, bent down and looked at the coat on the ground, and said with a heavy expression, "It is indeed brother Chi's coat. When we were playing cards in his room, he placed this coat next to the sofa...
"
"But why did his coat end up here alone?" Mouri Kogoro squatted in front of the coat, wearing a woolen glove on his right hand, turning the coat gently, "Are there any clues left for us?"
Conan recalled Mizuki Tono's description, looked at where a group of villagers were using flashlights to help light up the lights, and then looked at where the coat had fallen. "Could it be that Brother Chi took it off on purpose and hung it under the rearview mirror of the car?"
What? Miss Mizuki said that the man was chasing from behind. This happened to be a curve. After the car hit the rock wall, the car turned sideways. Looking over there, you can see where the coat fell.
Right?"
"You're saying that Fei Chi deliberately put his coat here to focus the gangster's attention here, while he lowered his figure and walked around in front of the car, followed the rock wall through the curve, and then went into the snow field to get rid of the gangster.
But I heard from Ms. Mizuki that the other party seemed to have shot directly at the gas tank..." Kogoro Mori looked through his coat and found an unnatural dark brown mark on one side. After being stunned, he picked up the coat and smelled it.
Conan also leaned over and caught a different smell from the burnt smell, and affirmed, "It's blood."
"Is Feichi injured?" Mouri Kogoro spread his coat on the ground, looked through both sides, and frowned, "There are no bullet holes in the clothes. The blood stains are on the left corner and left sleeve of the clothes.
There’s not a lot of blood stains either…”
There are no bullet holes in his clothes, which means that Chi Feichi's upper body was not hit by bullets, but that is not necessarily a good thing.
Because that means that Chi Feichi is likely to have a leg injury.
In this kind of weather, in this wilderness environment, when being chased, leg injuries are much more dangerous than arm injuries.
Conan also thought about this, but still held out hope, wondering if there would be blood stains from the gunman's beating by Chi Feichi. When he arrived in front of the charred car, he forcefully opened the deformed door and squatted down to check the driver's seat.
Near the seat, he wiped up a bit of black residue on the lower corner of the seat with a white handkerchief, twisted it, and turned to remind Kogoro Mori, "Uncle, there is also blood near the driver's seat of the car."
Mouri Kogoro immediately stepped forward and looked at the marks on Conan's handkerchief.
The car had been burned inside and outside, and it was difficult to see the blood stains. However, it was probably a piece of leather on the underside of the seat. It was only a little bit burned, but the blood was dried on it. I pressed it with a handkerchief and it was white.
A dark brown blood mark mixed with black dust was left on the handkerchief.
"There should be blood stains on the ground nearby," Conan looked at the snow on the ground, "but..."
The heavy snow will not only cover the blood stains, but also dilute the blood stains due to melting. If there are not many blood stains, it will be more difficult for them to trace Chi Feichi's traces.
It was like this on the road. According to their speculation, Chi Feichi must have entered the snowfield. Once the traces there were covered with heavy snow, it would be difficult to find them again.
"Everyone, please help me carefully turn over the snow here and pay attention to the blood stains on the ground or in the snow! See which direction the blood stains lead in the end!" Mouri Kogoro knew that there was little hope, but he still turned to the villagers and shouted
After making a sound, he stood up and looked at the snowfield spreading out at night. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'll go look for him in the snow. If that kid hides in the snow and freezes, I can drag him out in time."
