At four o'clock in the morning, the snow stopped completely.
The villagers plowed through the nearby snow, carefully looking for blood stains under the snow. They were all very tired.
Mouri Kogoro led the team to search around the snowfield, and found the place where Hikawa Shogo's body was found. They turned back and were all out of breath.
"I win!" Uemura Yang stepped onto the road, waved and asked, "How are you doing here?"
"There is indeed blood on the road, which has been diluted by the snow, but there is not much blood. I think Mr. Chi was not too seriously injured." Morishita Gosho, who was lying on the ground, stood up and raised his hand to pat the snow off his body.
, walked towards the returning search team, "The blood trail extended from near the car to the rock wall, and then entered the snowfield. Mr. Maoli's guess was correct. He should have entered the snowfield. Where are you over there? Have you gained anything?
"
Seeing that Chi Feichi did not follow him back or was carried back, he knew without asking that the search team had not found anyone.
"We searched the snow along the roadside and found the place where the corpse of the glacier was found along the way." Uemura Yoichi slowed down his rapid breathing, "No one was found. The heavy snow covered all traces. It would be impossible to continue like this.
Can not be done!"
"Everyone, let's take a rest!" Mouri Kogoro sat directly on the side of the road and turned to look at Conan who was staying next to the burnt car. "Conan, is Fei Chi's phone still unreachable?"
"Yeah, brother Chi's phone still can't be reached!"
Conan sat on the road with his coat spread out in front of him. He turned around and replied, pointing to a pile of small things next to the coat, and reminded him seriously, "Uncle, I took a look at Brother Chi's coat pockets, chocolates, and evidence.
The bags and medicine boxes are all in the pocket, as well as a small portable oxygen bottle made by a doctor, a folding knife, a small flashlight, and some iron pieces, compressed plastic and the like!"
They are all small items that are easy to carry, but in the wild, emergency medicine, chocolate to supplement calories, oxygen bottles, flashlights for night lighting, and folding knives to deal with crises, these are all life-saving things.
There were also some strange things, such as the hard vacuum compressed object. He looked at it and saw that it should be something like plastic sheeting. If Chi Feichi brought this, it could also be used to block the wind a little in the snowfield.
Snow.
As soon as he saw these things, he felt that he was indeed Doraemon. Every time he went out, he seemed to be prepared to encounter fatal danger, and his persecutory paranoia was quite serious.
But this time, Chi Feichi couldn't bring these things with him.
It's no wonder, according to Tono Mizuki, that after the car hit the rock wall, the gangster took the opportunity to close the distance. At that time, he was not far from the car. Chi Feichi probably didn't have much time to take things out of his coat pocket.
After transferring it to his body, he used his coat as a bait, took the opportunity to stay away from the car, and then used his own blood to lure the gangsters away along the road.
"What?" Mouri Kogoro stood up, walked to Conan, looked at the things Conan pulled out and placed on the snow, and frowned, "This should be the emergency item Fei Chi brought with him, right? Does he still have anything on him now?
…”
Conan looked at the pile of things, quickly put away the solemn look on his face, smiled and said in relief, "Don't worry, there must be something in Brother Chi's pants pocket. He likes to fill his pockets every time he goes away."
It’s full, isn’t it?”
"That's true..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the pile of things on the ground, and some speechless emotions arose in his heart at an inappropriate time, "But where will he run? Will he be chased by the other party and get lost in the snowy field?
ah?"
Uemura Yoichi and Morishita Gokatsu looked at each other and said, "It is very likely that even us locals will get lost when entering the snowfield in windy and snowy weather. If Mr. Chi can't find the direction, then...
Oh no……"
"I don't think so," Conan smiled, looked up at the white sky, and said firmly, "As long as the wind and snow stop, Brother Chi will be able to find the direction!"
Mouri Kogoro looked at the sky and, like Conan, believed that Chi Feichi could find the direction. He breathed a sigh of relief, and soon said sadly, "But the boy is injured, and his coat was also left here. He will be frozen like this all night."
, it’s hard not to catch a cold.”
Conan knew that Kogoro Mouri didn't want to convey his anxiety to him, so he had already spoken very implicitly.
He entered the snowfield alone, with insufficient cold-proof clothing, he was injured, and there were soldiers chasing him. The most important thing was that Chi Feichi didn't understand the terrain. Once he fell into a pothole, he would probably get cold...
Bah, bah, bah! He has to believe in Chi Feichi's physical fitness and skills. Although his little friend is not in good mental condition, he is in good physical condition and will definitely come back safely.
Uemura Yoichi lit up and smoked to eliminate the fatigue from running all night, and sighed deeply, "It is too dangerous to enter the snowfield. If Mr. Chi runs along the road, it should be much better. In heavy snowy days, just pull away
The other party won't be able to catch up with him so easily..."
Tono Mizuki, who had also helped plow the snow to look for blood stains, sat down on the ground tiredly. Before Conan and Mouri Kogoro could explain, he spoke first, "He just wants that person to catch up with him. If he is on the road,
The snow will quickly cover up his bloodstains. If the person cannot catch up with him, he may turn back. And if he enters the snowfield, he will leave deep footprints on the snow. If he cannot be covered by the snow for a while, he will be able to kill the other person.
Lead away."
Seeing Tono Mizuki's spirit weakened, Mouri Kogoro said with a serious look, "Ms. Mizuki, if it were me, I would do what he did, let someone with better physical fitness lead away the gangster, and then let the other one who is hiding
It is a very rational decision for someone to call for help, and it is also the decision that gives the two of them the best chance of survival. You were not discovered by that nasty gangster and called for help, and you have done your best to complete your mission, so there is no need to blame yourself too much."
Morishita Gokatsu and Uemura Yoichi sat on the road, one of them stared down at the snow, the other smoked silently, and other villagers stood aside silently, and the atmosphere became heavy.
They all know that Mr. Chi helped Fuyumi and Touma, and even those who didn't know it before have heard about it more or less after Touma woke up.
There are at least four or five people here who have had drinks with Chi Feichi. The friendship may not be deep, but they all feel that nothing should happen to such a good person.
Just facing the heavy snowfield, they were swallowed up by a deep sense of powerlessness.
Mouri Kogoro looked around and found that the faces of the villagers were more or less tired, and said sincerely, "It's the same for everyone! After a hard night, everyone should be tired, go back and rest! Don't you have to do this today?
Are you ready to participate in the celebration? Now go back and take a rest before you can help at the celebration!"
"But Mr. Mori," Yoichi Uemura frowned, "Mr. Chi's whereabouts are unknown. If we find him earlier, his safety will be more guaranteed. How can we be in the mood..."
"Don't worry, the police will be on the mountain in a while. If we wait two hours and still haven't contacted him or found him, I will ask the police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to dispatch helicopters to help search. He is in good physical condition.
You should still be wearing a thick sweater, I believe you will be able to do it in a few hours," Mouri Kogoro saw the hesitation on the faces of the villagers and continued to persuade, "Everyone go back and have a rest. If necessary, I would like to ask you to continue to help me this afternoon.
, In addition, I also hope to be able to hide it from the children who are traveling with us, and not let them worry blindly, and also trouble everyone to pretend that nothing happened and secretly return to the village!"
"Those troublesome brats..." Uemura Yang glanced at Conan, patted his butt and stood up, "Okay, let's go back and rest first. If necessary, we can change shifts in the afternoon!"
Uemura Yoichi took the lead, and other villagers stood up one after another. Only two people were left to accompany Mouri Kogoro and wait for the police to arrive. The others were preparing to return to the village.
Conan was abandoned to the villagers by Moori Kogoro and followed the large team back to the village.
A group of people had just arrived at the entrance of the village and were planning to discuss how to disperse and sneak home when they bumped into the 'troublesome brats' that Uemura Yang called.
The sun rises and its light illuminates the snow.
In the air, tiny ice crystals danced and rose, sparkling in the sunlight like brilliant diamonds.
Fuyumi Tatehara, Fuyuma Tatehara, Dr. Agasa, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, Ai Haibara, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki gathered neatly in front of the little black dog's tombstone, standing or kneeling
, staring blankly at the glowing ice crystals, and also blankly watching Conan and a group of villagers walking from the ice crystals.
The two sides looked at the wonderful scene of the 'Diamond Star', then looked at each other, and fell into silence for a while.
Villager Yang Yi of Shangcun: "..."
It's over, they were hit hard, what should they explain next? They went out for a morning jog in the village together?
Yuesui Nanatsuki, Haihara Ai, Mao Lilan: "..."
Looking at the dusty appearance of these people, something happened last night, right?
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta: "..."
Conan appears with a group of villagers, and the style looks like a village bully patrolling the village.
Dr. Agasa, Sonoko Suzuki, Fuyumi Tatehara: "..."
Should they say something to break the strange silence?
Tachihara Fuyuma: "..."
What's going on? What happened?
"Everyone..." Tachihara Fuyumi asked with a puzzled look, "Did you do anything outside the village? Last night, I seemed to hear commotion on the street outside, and there were people shouting loudly in Kitazawa Villa..."
"There was a car accident outside the village," Conan lied, looking up with a smile. "The wind and snow were too heavy last night. When someone drove back to the village, he accidentally drove into the snow and the car overturned. Everyone went to help, Uncle Kogoro, Chi
My brother and I heard the noise and went over to take a look, but don't worry, the injured have been sent to Yamashita Hospital first, and Uncle Kogoro and the others will come back later!"
Tachihara Fuyumi believed it, "So that's it..."
Haiyuan Ai thought about it for a moment, then moved closer to Conan and asked in a low voice, "Is it related to the reason why we came here, or to the case yesterday? Otherwise, Brother Chi and Uncle wouldn't have gone to work at the same time, right?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki also walked to the side and also lowered his voice, "Someone was attacked, right? If it was just an ordinary accident, the villagers can just go to help. There is no need for detectives to go there."
"Yes, yes," Conan sweated, "Anyway, let's wait until they come back..."
