The staff went out one after another, greeted each other, laughed and chatted about today's village founding celebration, and walked to the restaurant without noticing anyone in the reservoir.
Chi Feichi was soaking in the water near the outer dam. He clutched a travel bag that had faded due to soaking in the left hand. After the staff had almost arrived in the restaurant, he stretched out sharp claws from the fingers of his right hand and used the claws to nail into the wall.
the support point and quickly climbed up the dam.
At the same time, he also pulled out a little bit of the fire in his abdomen to increase the temperature of his body and bake his clothes, so that they could dry out before they climbed up the dam.
He had asked Tatehara Fuyumi before - when the village was relocated and the land for building houses in the new village was allocated, was it allocated according to the original residential location?
Fuyumi Tachihara's answer at that time was that except for a few villagers who had bad relations with their neighbors who chose to change land, the others did live in the location of their previous residences.
When the village was relocated, Yamao Keisuke was already in prison, and the only grandmother could not bear the shock and died. No one in the family could ask for a land exchange.
He walked around the village and found that the house assigned to the Yamao family was in the middle of the village to the east, and it didn't seem to be crowded out by the neighbors.
Therefore, the Yamao family should not have moved to another place in the village. Wherever the Yamao family in the new village is, the underwater Yamao family will also be in the same area, which is in the middle of the village to the east.
Then, he only needs to dive into the water, find the intersection into the village, and then locate the area where the Yamao family is located. If everything goes well, he can also find some markers such as dilapidated house numbers, locate the Yamao family, and dig out the jewelry from the ruins of the Yamao family.
come out.
It's just that the reservoir is too big. Not only the old village but also the large open space near the old village sunk under the reservoir. It took him about an hour to find the entrance of the village and then locate the Yamao house. The oxygen supply of the dimensional lungs was insufficient.
I had to surface for air.
It is not easy to dig things in the ruins of a residential building. He almost turned over the ruins. He also had to make sure that the excavation marks were not too deliberate and the digging speed could not be fast.
In short, he changed his breath twice and stayed underwater for more than five hours. He finally found the travel bag containing the jewelry and was exhausted.
Without dimensional lungs and fire, it would have been impossible for him to dive into the reservoir for too long, let alone find the Yamao family's old residence under the water in an hour or two.
If his arm strength had not been enhanced, and without the warm eyes provided by the snake's slough, it would have been difficult for him to dig three feet into the ground of the Yamao family under the water in just two hours, and even recover slightly, covering up the traces of the excavation.
He used to think that Koizumi Anko liked to use magic to do boring things, but now he understands Koizumi Anko a little bit.
In this era of astonishing development of thermal weapon technology, those with special abilities will be beaten to death. They have to keep a low profile, and more often than not, those abilities are not used at all...
Anyway, it’s good to make life easier.
…
Six o'clock in the morning.
Chi Fei left less than an hour later.
Two people were left behind at the dam, while the rest went down the mountain to participate in the founding celebration of Beize Village.
seven in the morning.
Yamao Keisuke drove to the dam and knocked out Takehiko Muto in a nearby workshop. Two workers at the dam began to install bombs.
At the same time, Chi Fei arrived late in the forest, found the sweater and mobile phone he had left in the forest, met the swans who had agreed to meet in the forest, and asked a group of swans to work together to send the bag containing the jewelry down the mountain.
Eight in the morning.
When the Shingo County police searched the snowy fields near the highway to no avail, Mouri Kogoro contacted Megure Thirteen and asked the police to send a helicopter to Shingo County to participate in the search and rescue.
nine in the morning.
Conan found Tono Mizuki and confronted him.
While on the road, he noticed that the tires of the car were worn out, but he was not sure what role Mizuki Tono played in the attack on Chi Feichi, whether he was an accomplice of the gangster with the shotgun, and the identity of the gunman. After confirmation,
, he had to talk to Tono Mizuki to find out Tono Mizuki's thoughts.
Tono Mizuki has been feeling guilty and uneasy since Chi Feichi disappeared, and he didn't dare to confess to Mouri Kogoro. When asked by Conan, he admitted that he had tampered with the car tires and expressed his thoughts.
While the two were talking, an explosion occurred at the village celebration venue. The police and Mouri Kogoro had to stop the search and rush to the venue to maintain order.
Conan went up the mountain instead.
When Mizuki Tono heard from Conan that the man's goal was to blow up the dam, he immediately borrowed a car and drove Conan to the dam to see the situation. At the same time, he also wanted to see if Chi Feichi would be caught by the gangster. They also
You can save people by the way, or find out the whereabouts of Chi Feichi.
What the two of them didn't expect was that three children sneaked into the car, while Haibara Ai and Koshimizu Nanatsuki went directly to the village entrance to stop the car.
The number of people going to the dam increased a lot, and there was a full car.
On the way, Conan explained his reasoning——
It was Yamao Keisuke who killed Hikawa Shogo.
Eight years ago, Yamao Keisuke robbed a jewelry store and drove back to the village with the jewelry. He bumped into Natsuki Tono. After driving home and hiding the jewelry, he surrendered to the police, planning to take the jewelry out and exchange it for money after he was released from prison.
Eight years later, Yamao Keisuke was released from prison and learned that his home had sunk under the reservoir. He planned to blow up the dam, drain the water from the reservoir, and take away the jewelry at home.
But blowing up the dam is not easy, so Yamao Keisuke sent a threatening letter to the mayor of Asakura, and also bombed the Toto subway line, making people mistakenly think that it was a terrorist attack against Asakura, so that Asakura could not come.
By participating in the village founding celebration, you can avoid excessively tight security forces in the village or dam.
The time Yamao Keisuke chose was the day of the village founding celebration, because on this day, most of the dam staff would go to the village to participate in the celebration, and there were not many people on duty.
On this day, Yamao Keisuke randomly detonated a small bomb at the venue, which could draw other people's attention to the venue and go to the dam to blow up the dam.
However, on the way, Hikawa Shogo somehow found out about Yamao Keisuke's robbery eight years ago, and the newspaper clippings left in his wallet to threaten Yamao Keisuke. He wanted to join the action and get a share of the action, but he was killed by Yamao.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
In the village at the foot of the mountain, the staff participating in the celebration felt uneasy and worried that something might happen to the dam. They found a car and planned to go back to the dam early to take a look.
On the mountain, Conan and others rushed to the dam and separately found Takehiko Muto, who had been knocked unconscious and tied up, and two staff members.
"In other words, your sister was pushed into the driveway below by you?"
In the workshop, Haibara Ai checked the condition of Takehiko Muto. After confirming that he was in coma, he turned around and found Mizuki Tono with an anxious look on his face. He consoled him, "You didn't mean it. Don't think about that now. Mr. Muto, you don't have to worry about Muto either."
Sir’s safety, he is just unconscious.”
Tono Mizuki was so anxious that he quickly went up to shake Muto Takehiko, "I was thinking that if Muto is still awake, he might see Mr. Chi..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki was about to go out to meet Conan at the dam. Hearing this, he stopped and looked back at Tono Mizuki, "Mr. Chi? He really didn't send the injured to the hospital down the mountain, right?"
Haibara Ai thought for a while, "Could he have discussed it with Edogawa, and Edogawa went to you to confirm the car accident eight years ago, and he will be responsible for following Yamao? If this is the case, Yamao will definitely not be wrong.
Brother’s opponent may have been eliminated..."
"No……"
Conan's voice came from the detective armband, "Brother Chi and Miss Mizuki drove out of the village last night. On the way, they were chased and attacked by Shanwei with a shotgun. In order to lure Shanwei away, he went into the snowfield. I was still thinking that he should be able to
I found that the target at the end of the mountain is the dam, and I came to the dam first..."
"Hey, wait!" Haiyuan Ai's face changed, "You mean, you didn't contact Brother Fei Chi last night, and you came here to find him, right? Such a big thing happened.
Things, you actually..."
"Calm down. Even if Brother Chi didn't come to the dam, Shanwei will definitely know which direction Brother Chi went last night and where he is now. As long as he finds him..."
Following an unusual sound that sounded like a crash, there was no sound over there.
"Edogawa?" Haiyuan Ai frowned and shouted twice, "Edogawa, what happened to you over there?"
Conan didn't respond.
Instead, Bumi's voice came out, "Xiao, Xiao Ai..."
"We all heard it," Mitsuhiko also said aloud, "We are in the dam's room, and now we are going to find Conan. Of course, we will also look for Brother Chi..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki quickly said to stop him, "Don't run around, hide with Touma and wait for us to meet up."
"I should have gone with them if I had known it!" Tono Mizuki saw the shotgun in the house, stepped forward to pick it up, loaded bullets into it skillfully, and walked quickly into the house.
On the dam, Conan was caught, taken out of the house, and pushed into the snow.
A pure black man walked forward with a shotgun, with a ferocious smile on his lips, "Stupid boy, why don't you just enjoy the celebration down there? That way you can die more comfortably..."
Conan sat up in the snow and looked up at the person who walked in with a look of shock.
The black man appears again.
Last time he was in the tunnel, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, but now, under the sunshine that was approaching noon, the person in front of him still looked like a three-dimensional shadow that had stood up from the ground.
The light did not illuminate the person's body, but seemed to be absorbed by the skin, so that he could clearly see the other person's clothes and the shotgun in his hand, but he could not even see the outline of the other person's face.
Does this guy Yamao Keisuke... have special powers?
"Are you surprised?" Yamao Keisuke sneered and deliberately spoke in a low voice, "Kid, if you don't want to die, just tell the truth where your companions are!"
"Tell me first, where Brother Chi is!" Conan stared at Xiao Hei in front of him, "You were the one who attacked him and Miss Mizuki last night, right? Why?"
"He is a troublesome guy, just like you. If you have the chance to deal with it, of course it is better to deal with it," Yamao Keisuke said maliciously, "Do you want to see him? If you don't tell me honestly, I will send you away soon.
Go see him!"
"I have no companions!"
Conan shouted back.
"It seems that if I don't let you suffer a little, you won't..."
Yamao Keisuke raised the shotgun, but Conan also touched the skateboard that fell in the snow when he was thrown out, turned over and lay on the skateboard, and started the skateboard.
The wheels of the skateboard rotated very fast, kicking up the snow and making Yamao Keisuke look in the face.
"Damn you brat!"
Yamao Keisuke cursed angrily, pointed his gun at Conan, and shot Conan's skateboard in the swirling snow.
Conan fell to the ground and turned around to look at Yamao Keisuke who was walking towards him.
Even if your face is covered with snow, the color won't fade. Isn't it because it's painted with paint or something like that...
