Hatsuko Toba didn't hesitate and immediately pushed Jizaburo Izumi and left from the back corridor.
Chi Feichi followed Mouri Kogoro and found two fire extinguishers in the corridor. However, when the two returned to the living room, the large statue had been enveloped in flames, and even the tatami next to the hearth was on fire. The fire was accompanied by thick smoke.
Spreading upward, burning the walls and beams of the wooden house, the firelight made the house glow red.
"Damn it, the fire has spread!" Moori Kogoro looked at the increasingly fierce fire and broke into a cold sweat. The cold sweat was quickly dried by the rising temperature.
"Dong dong dong!"
The narrow door close to the floor was knocked, and Mao Lilan's anxious shout came from outside, "Dad! Open the door here quickly!"
Mouri Kogoro quickly walked to the small door, knelt down and opened the door.
Outside the house, Conan wanted to climb into the house through the narrow door, but as soon as he put his head into the house, he was pushed out by a hand.
Chi Feichi stopped Conan's strange behavior and asked tepidly, "There is a fire here, what are you doing here?"
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, regretting that she had brought her child into the fire scene, and quickly reached out to hold Conan, "Conan, since there is a fire inside, don't go in! Brother Fei Chi, dad, are you okay? Where are the others? Yes.
No one was hurt?"
"Miss Hatsui took Director Izumi to the back to escape. Fei Chi and I found a fire extinguisher. We originally planned to put out the fire, but the fire in this room was too strong and we couldn't control it with just the two of us.
It will be dangerous to stay in the house," Mouri Kogoro quickly explained the situation. He looked up at the ignited beams above, frowned and reminded, "Feichi, you crawl through this small door first.
Go to the courtyard and move faster! Although Miss Hatsuho and the curator have already escaped in the back, Director Izumi has limited legs and feet. Miss Hatsuho is a girl. Any accident may prevent them from escaping in time. I
You must go and take a look! You, Xiaolan, and Conan go to the courtyard behind the house, and we will meet there!"
"I'll go with you."
Chi Feichi said, reaching out to close the small door in front of him, he stood up and rummaged through his pocket to find a vacuum-compressed bag. After tearing it open, he unfolded the one-meter-long thin cloth inside and handed it to Maori Kogoro, "I'm here
There are fireproof cloths and small oxygen bottles..."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Every time his apprentice goes out, does he have to imagine in advance that this will be another day full of disasters?
"Whoosh!"
Conan opened the small door from outside the house and quickly climbed into the house with his hands and feet, "I want to go with uncle too!"
Outside the house, Mao Lilan failed to react and shouted anxiously, "Ke, Conan!"
Mouri Kogoro heard a creaking sound above his head, and quickly grabbed Conan, stood up and backed away, and shouted at the same time, "Xiaolan, don't come in, the burning wooden beam above is about to fall!"
Just as Chi Feichi, Mouri Kogoro, and Conan retreated, several burning wooden beams fell down and hit the small door, blocking it.
Mao Lilan could only see a fire behind the small door, and shouted worriedly, "Dad, are you not hurt?"
"We're fine!" Mouri Kogoro said loudly as he retreated to the door leading to the corridor, "Get out of there quickly and go to the backyard, we plan to retreat back too!"
"Yes, I'll go over and wait for you! You guys should hurry up!"
No matter how worried Mao Lilan was about the situation of the three people in the house, she also knew that she could not cause trouble to the three people at this moment, so she turned around and ran to the backyard.
As the burning wooden beams crackled and fell, the temperature in the fire scene increased again, and the heat wave hit the three people standing at the door.
"Kid, follow me carefully and don't run around!" Mouri Kogoro put a one-meter-long fireproof cloth on Conan, stood up and stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand to pull the door handle of the door in front of him, but found that the door was not open.
When he couldn't pull it, he increased his strength and pulled the door handle with gritted teeth, "Damn it, is it locked?"
Conan looked around, pointed in another direction and shouted, "Uncle, there is a door over there!"
Although that was not the direction in which Hatsuko Toba left with Izumi Jisaburo, instead of worrying about the safety of those two people, Mouri Kogoro felt that what he should worry about now was the safety of his own group.
Seeing the door pointed by Conan, Mouri Kogoro immediately changed his escape route and ran over, "I'll open the door! Fei Chi, you and the kid can follow you quickly!"
Chi Feichi bent down to pick up Conan, hugged Conan and followed behind Mouri Kogoro.
The door was opened smoothly, and the three people also evacuated to the Noh theater where no fire broke out behind the door, where Noh performances were performed.
As Mouri Kogoro closed the door, the fire and smoke were temporarily isolated.
"It turns out to be Noh Theater..." Mouri Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, fixed his sight on another door in the room, and ran over, "Let's get out from here!"
Conan thought about the reason why he ran in and asked quickly, "Brother Chi, where is Miss Momoyono? Did she also evacuate behind with the curator and the others?"
"No," Chi Feichi hugged Conan and followed Kogoro Maori. "Before the fire started, she said she was going to make tea and left here."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and reminded with a solemn look, "We guessed it right. Miss Momoyono didn't call the police at all before. The phone in the kitchen was an internal phone and was not connected to an external phone line! Also, Sister Xiaolan and I
After confirming this, I found the office building and tried to use the phone in the office to call the police. However, I was discovered by Mr. Seikenji who followed me. He said that he, Ms. Momoyono, and Mr. Nagata were accomplices in planning to murder the curator, and they also
They took me hostage and locked me and Sister Xiaolan in the storage room. As soon as Sister Xiaolan and I ran out of the storage room, we found that the place was on fire!"
This is also the reason why he followed - to remind Uncle Kogoro and Brother Chi to be careful about Mimo Momoyuno!
Mouri Kogoro arrived at the door. He didn't expect that Conan and Mao Lilan would encounter so many things just after they left. He was surprised and turned to look at Conan to confirm, "What did you say? The three of them are accomplices?!"
"Yes, this is what Mr. Qingxianji said personally, but on the way here from the storage room, Sister Xiaolan and I found Mr. Nagata dead in the well, soaking in the well water. He had
The Heita mask he was wearing fell next to the well." Conan looked serious, "Mr. Qingxianji was knocked down by Sister Xiaolan on the other side of the office building. Now Miss Momoyono is not with the curator. Next, we must
Find the curator first, so that they can stop them from killing the curator!"
"Anyway, let's run out of here first! The curator and the others may have already gone out!" Mouri Kogoro turned around and saw the thick smoke spreading along the crack of the door. He didn't hesitate anymore, stretched out his hand and pressed on the door handle, and said
Without any effort, the door handle was so hot that I let go and backed away, "Hot, hot, hot!"
"The fire has spread..." Conan frowned and looked around, trying to find other exits. When he looked up, through the ventilation window above the room, he saw a figure wearing an Anda female mask behind the window of the building opposite. He quickly pointed and reminded, "Uncle
,Brother Chi, look there!"
"Ghost girl mask?" Mouri Kogoro saw the figure retreating and quickly disappeared from sight. Feeling that the other party was provoking, he immediately frowned, "Is it that woman? Damn it!"
Conan looked at the ventilation window and suddenly discovered that he could follow the roof of the house on the Noh performance stage and go out through the ventilation window, "Uncle, can we...eh?"
Chi Fei belatedly saw that Conan had collected the clues, so he did not consider taking a complicated route. He carried Conan to the door and kicked the door lock hard with his foot.
With one kick, the door lock deformed and the door was kicked open.
Conan: "..."
In the face of absolute force value, all physical obstacles are paper tigers?
Chi Feichi carried Conan out and put Conan down in the yard.
"Brother Chi, there!"
As soon as Conan stood firm, he saw Tatsuro Seikenji lying on the grass not far away. He quickly dropped the fireproof cloth wrapped around him and ran over.
Mouri Kogoro followed him out, and when he saw Conan running towards Tatsuro Seizenji, he also followed him, "Kid, what's going on? Didn't you mean that this person locked you in the office storage room, and then was killed by Xiaolan?
Was he knocked down? Why is he lying here?"
"I guess I found a fire here and came to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but I encountered an accident..." Conan looked at the fire extinguisher that fell aside, the lion's mouth mask, squatted down next to Tatsuro of Qingxianji Temple, and smelled the bitter almonds.
His expression became serious, "Uncle, there is a smell of almonds in his mouth!"
"What?!" Mouri Kogoro quickly stepped forward, squatted down next to Qingxianji Tatsuro, stretched out his hand to touch Qingxianji Tatsuro's neck, then frowned and came closer to Qingxianji Tatsuro's face to smell it, and said with a frown,
"The person is dead, probably from cyanide poisoning like Mr. Akaza..."
Akaza Naruya...
Nagata Seinosuke...
Tatsuro Seikenji...
Conan's scalp went numb when he thought that three people had lost their lives in two hours.
What the hell is going on today...
Or is he having a nightmare?
"ah!"
A woman's nervous and frightened voice came from the direction of the backyard, "Sister, stop it, no!"
"No, it's in the direction of the backyard!" Mouri Kogoro's expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly, "Xiaolan went there too!"
"That should be Miss Hatsumi's voice just now!"
Conan reminded him and started running to the backyard.
He didn't hear Xiaolan's voice, but Xiaolan should have arrived in the backyard. The absence of Xiaolan's voice made him even more frightened... What happened in the backyard?!
Two minutes later...
Mouri Kogoro and Conan panted to the backyard, and found Maori Lan standing near the pool, breathing a long sigh of relief.
"Xiaolan, are you okay?" Mouri Kogoro asked loudly.
"That..." Mao Lilan came back to her senses, turned around and saw Maori Kogoro, Conan, and Chi Feichi beside her. They raised their fingers and pointed to the pool in front of them, with a trace of shock and confusion still on their faces.
"When I went to the yard next to me, I heard someone shouting here. I rushed over and saw..."
In the water, Mitsuo Momoyono was completely submerged in the water, with a thin piece inserted into his chest. Large blood stains stained the kimono on his body, and wisps of bright red spread in the water, just like the robe stretched out in the clear water.
, swaying gently in the water waves.
Hatsuko Toba lay motionless by the pool, one hand immersed in the water.
In the open space next to the pool, the wheelchair overturned, and Izumi Jizaburo fell sideways next to the wheelchair. There was also a large blood stain on his chest that stained his gray kimono red.
Mouri Kogoro and Conan were stunned as they looked at the scene of mass destruction in front of them.
Chi Feichi glanced at the three fallen people, and what Maori Kogoro said two hours ago rang in his mind.
