After hearing about Mouri Kogoro's identity, Izumi Jisaburo's attitude did not become enthusiastic, but he did not expel a group of people and signaled the female caregiver pushing the wheelchair to continue up the mountain. While going to the shrine, he listened to Moori Kogoro's words.
Got the intention.
Mouri Kogoro came forward to deal with this seemingly shrewd old man. Chi Feichi, Mao Lilan and Conan all just said hello to Izumi Jisaburo when Moori Kogoro introduced himself.
Izumi Jisaburo didn't take what Mouri Kogoro said to heart at all, and said disapprovingly, "I'm used to seeing threatening letters, so don't worry about this kind of thing."
While he was talking, Izumi Jizaburo's wheelchair had already been pushed.
Mouri Kogoro quickened his pace and walked side by side with the wheelchair, "The other party sent the letter to me specially. I think the threat this time is different from before, and I need to pay more attention to it."
Ahead, there was a thin wire pulled two centimeters above the ground. When Chi Feichi saw the thin wire, the wheel of the wheelchair had already hit the thin wire, rolled the thin wire under the wheel, and ran over from above.
The thin thread was torn off in an instant, and the warehouse door above dozens of steps nearby opened violently. The high-piled cylindrical logs rolled out of the warehouse door and rolled down the steps, splashing large amounts of smoke and dust, and rushed down like a savage beast.
A group of people walking past the torii gate.
Conan heard the noise and looked up to see a large number of thick rolling logs rolling down. He was so frightened that he shouted loudly, "Run away!"
The young female caregiver also heard the noise, and saw the rolling logs rolling down one after another with Conan. She came to her senses when Conan yelled, and hurriedly tried to push Izumi Jizaburo away, but due to excessive force, the wheelchair was pushed aside.
He rolled over and fell to the ground, and Izumi Jisaburo was also thrown to the ground.
Mao Lilan thought that Izumi Jizaburo's legs and feet were inconvenient and could not move freely, so she ran forward with Conan.
After the wheelchair overturned, the young female caregiver quickly squatted next to Izumi Jisaburo, wrapped her arms around Izumi Jisaburo's armpits from behind, and gritted her teeth to pull the person up.
"I come."
Chi Feichi was worried that something might happen after a long delay, so he didn't watch. He ran to Izumi Jisaburo's side faster than Conan, stretched out his hand to hold Izumi Jisaburo's arm, and let Izumi Jisaburo's weight rest on his back.
"Hide over there!" Conan pointed at the woods ahead and shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, he was picked up by a hand.
Chi Feichi carried Izumi Jisaburo on his back, and only used one hand to hold Izumi Jisaburo's arms around his neck. With the other hand, he quickly picked up Conan and ran forward, followed by Akaza Naruya and Mouri Kogoro.
forest.
Seeing that the young and old were snatched away by Chi Feichi, Mao Lilan followed closely behind with peace of mind. She reached out and grabbed the slowest young female caregiver, and ran into the woods with the young female caregiver one after another.
In just a few seconds, a group of people ran into the forest one after another. The thick rolling logs then fell on the open space where the group of people were originally located. The rumbling sound continued, and the loess rose higher than the wooden beams on the top of the torii gate. It did not disperse for a long time.
Although Izumi Jisaburo didn't need to run, he was still very frightened. After being put down, he sat by the woods and gasped.
The wheelchair that Jizaburo Izumi was originally sitting in had been crushed under rolling logs and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Soon, three staff members in the museum heard the noise and rushed over to help take Izumi Jisaburo back to the museum.
When they arrived at the living room of the art museum, a group of people used wet towels to clean away the dust on their bodies. They finally looked less embarrassed.
Mao Lilan squatted aside to help Conan wipe his face clean, and after handing the towel to Miyu Momono, he did not get up in a hurry and looked at Conan with concern, "Conan, how do you feel? You must have been scared just now, right?"
"I'm fine."
Conan looked up at Mao Lilan with a smile, and found that Chi Feichi was also staring at him, and a chill ran down his back.
Wait, he was almost hit today, right? Isn't Chi Feichi going to have to keep an eye on him all the time?
After Miyoshi Momono left with a basin and a towel, Conan walked up to Chi Feichi and skillfully stretched out his hand to pull Chi Feichi's clothes. After Chi Feichi squatted down, he stepped forward and whispered, "This
One time, someone wanted to harm Director Izumi and deliberately set up a log trap, so I was almost hit by the log. Shouldn’t it be considered unlucky for me?"
Chi Feichi knew that this plot was already there, so he did not argue with Conan, "I know, I don't think you are unlucky."
Of course it wasn't Conan who was unlucky this time, it was someone else who was unlucky.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the danger of the rolling log just now, and seriously communicated his reasoning to Chi Feichi in a low voice, "It should have been a death trap for Director Izumi. To set up this kind of trap, the prisoner must have enough
It’s time to prepare in the warehouse, and you also need to know very well that Director Izumi will go to worship the house god in the morning, so the person who wants to kill the director should be the people around him, especially if he works here, and the museum is closed today.
The three staff members staying in the museum, Mr. Seikenji, Mr. Nagata and Miss Momoyono, and Mr. Akaza are also capable of setting such a trap, but I think the murderer will not put himself in danger. If
If he really wanted to cover up the crime, he only had to take us to wait for the curator somewhere in the museum, pretend he didn't know anything after hearing the noise, and follow us there. There was no need to take us to find the curator and add variables.
Therefore, his suspicion is very small, far below those three people..."
"Where's Miss Toba?" Chi Feichi asked in a low voice, looking at the young female nurse named Hatsuko Toba who had the opportunity to introduce herself after returning to the art museum.
Conan looked at Hatsuko Toba carefully and said in a low voice, "In the dangerous situation just now, even if Ms. Toba didn't care about the curator's safety and ran away first, no one would blame her, but she would rather take the risk herself.
, and I still want to take the curator away from the dangerous environment, the suspicion should be the smallest..."
The situation is still unclear, and Conan did not speak too harshly.
He has also been a murderer before who first created a crisis and saved people, then waited for people to relax their vigilance before killing him. It was just that this time the situation was really dangerous, and the risks that Toba Hatsumi had to take to help the curator were very high, which made Conan feel that Toba Hatsumi
The possibility that Sui is the murderer is very low.
Chi Feichi didn't say too much to Conan. When Jisaburo Izumi, who was sitting next to him, thanked him aloud, he stood up and exchanged some casual greetings with Jisaburo Izumi.
He does know that Toba Hatsuho is not a good person, but he has no evidence, so he can't tell the detective or others that I have foreseen your plans and what will happen in the future...
If he really said that, what happened next might also change, and saying it would only make people suspect that he was ill.
"Wow..."
Mibu Momoyono brought hot tea into the room, interrupting the pleasantries between Izumi Jisaburo and Chi Feichi.
Izumi Jizaburo watched Miyu Momoyono put the tea in front of him, his face quickly sank, and he resistedly reached out to push the hot tea back, "If it weren't for Mr. Chi, I would have been crushed to death by that pile of wood just now! Why?
Why don’t you bring the spare wheelchair over quickly?!”
Hatsuho Toba, who was standing nearby, quickly responded, "Yes! I'll get it right away!"
"I'm not talking about you..." Jizaburo Izumi turned to Hatsuko Toba, then frowned and said to the three staff members, "Why don't you hurry up and get it!"
"Yes, we'll get it right away..."
The three staff members sweated and went out respectfully. Miyo Momoyono, who was walking at the end, bowed towards the room and closed the Japanese wooden door with his hand.
"I must not let up on those guys..." Izumi Jisaburo stared at the closed door warily, turned to look at Chi Feichi, his expression instantly softened, and he reached out to touch Conan's head lovingly, "But
, I believe in Mr. Chi who saved me just now, and my little brother who reminded me in time."
This childish idea of "whoever saves me is a good person" made Mao Lilan couldn't help but smile.
"Ahem..."
Mouri Kogoro coughed from behind, trying to find a sense of presence for himself.
Conan completely ignored Mouri Kogoro's coughing and said to Izumi Jisaburo with an obedient expression, "Uncle, in this world where you don't know when danger will occur, it's better to be cautious!"
Chi Feichi looked at Conan thoughtfully.
When he was keeping an eye on Conan before, he was only thinking about Conan's life and acted cautiously, right? So, Conan's resistance was all because Conan was not able to bear it. He was not keeping an eye on him too much. Is that right?
Wrong?
Conan: "..."
Is Brother Chi thinking about something strange? Why does his back feel cold again?
"You're right," Izumi Jisaburo responded to Conan kindly, "So, how do you think we should be careful?"
Conan retracted his thoughts and pointed to the things on the display cabinet aside. His childish voice was cute, "For example... what are the decorations over there?"
Izumi Jisaburo turned to look at the display cabinet, and patiently explained to Conan, "Those are ribbons and armor pockets. Ribbons are thin ropes made into ribbons for clothing decoration, and armor pockets are part of ancient armor."
"Then they must be very strong, right?" Conan laughed.
"so what……"
Izumi Jizaburo's expression moved slightly. Before he finished speaking, he saw two wasps bigger than his fingers flying to the side from the corner of his vision. He was so frightened that his face changed. He turned around and hugged Hatsuho Toba next to him, burying his face in it.
Hatsuko Toba yelled in her belly, "I will be killed!"
When Mouri Kogoro saw Izumi Jizaburo losing his composure, he muttered in surprise, "The reaction is too big..."
"Be careful! This is a hornet!" Akaza Naru, who was sitting nearby, also reminded in a panic, "Director Izumi was stung by a hornet once before. He is allergic to bee venom!"
Chi Feichi stared at the two buzzing wasps. He originally wanted to set fire to the wasps from a distance, but he locked his eyes on the target and sent a ray of hidden flames over. It took a while, and the two wasps bumped around everywhere.
Every time Chi Feichi sends the hidden flame halfway, it flies away.
After two attempts without success, Chi Feichi mentally evaluated the possibility of successfully burning a wasp. He felt that there was still a long way to go before he could burn such a small and flexible thing from the air. He couldn't do it even with more training now.
As a result, I decided to stop the test and make a quick decision. I put my right hand into my pocket and rummaged through it. I paused after touching the playing cards. I quickly passed the playing cards with my fingers and grabbed two coins.
