They did not go directly, but took a roundabout way to observe for a while. They found that there was no one by the river, and there were no hiding places within a few hundred meters. After making sure that there was no ambush from the police or anyone else, they quickly approached.
Hongye looked at the sparkling river, rolled up her sleeves, and said that she was not very good at swimming, but she could try swimming in the river for her boss.
Shiraishi didn't know whether she was telling the truth or just to create an image to show her loyalty, but in short, considering that Hongye didn't know the specific location of the main body and didn't have convenient tools, Shiraishi decided to go on his own.
In this way, it is more efficient to pick up people, and there will be no mistakes like "accidentally hiding the Poké Ball in the sleeve to prevent it from being taken away by the robbers and falling to the bottom of the river".
Although Shiraishi likes to boss people around sometimes, there are some things that he can only feel at ease doing himself.
He got off the car on the bridge and asked Hongye to drive the car to the river beach below for easy access.
Shiraishi walked along the bridge for a while, and finally stopped at the place where his body was "thrown" in his memory.
He took a deep breath, climbed over the railing and jumped off the bridge. His entry into the water was not very standard, but Mask's weight was already light, so he didn't stumble and entered the water smoothly.
The river is very deep.
Shiraishi originally planned to find the correct position first, take a breath before diving down, but after holding his breath for a short while, he suddenly found that the situation was different from what he expected.
When you hold your breath, you will indeed feel a little uncomfortable. After exhaling, your chest will be visibly deflated by the water pressure.
But this didn't affect his actions - Mask didn't even need to breathe.
...Maybe it’s because classmate Q is too lazy to pinch his lungs?
Shiraishi was startled for a moment, then he simply didn't float up again. Despite the dryness, he opened his eyes and looked down.
The bridge blocked part of the sunlight, and the bottom of the river looked very dark, but with the help of night vision, Shiraishi successfully found the main body below.
He raised his hand and threw out the wire rope. The anti-Newton steel cable extended rapidly, and soon, the hook caught the section of rope between the body and the stone.
When the wire is retracted, the body is pulled downward, which is very convenient.
Shiraishi quickly came to the main body. He adjusted the steel hook into a sharp claw. He cut it twice and found it inconvenient, so he retracted the steel wire and took out the bloody kitchen knife.
After grinding against the rope for a while, the flexible rope was finally cut open after being soaked in water.
Shiraishi grabbed the main body and opened the light screen.
There is about one-third of the health bar left, and the buff of the fake death drug has begun to count down.
Shiraishi covered the mouth of the main body and brought himself up to the surface, while studying how to turn on the repair function.
However, before he could find the button, he suddenly saw a small red dot on the secret chat column, indicating that Hongye had sent a message before.
Baishi clicked it open and saw the words inside: "There are people coming on the bridge. I saw a police car."
"..." This problem of slowing down my skills sooner or later must have been infected by the Shinigami primary school student!
This surprised Shiraishi. He calculated the time and felt that Nagano Shiina was not awake yet and could not call the police.
But now that the situation has happened, Shiraishi is not in the water.
To be on the safe side, he first switched to the mask form, then took off the mask, dug out the sunglasses from his body and put them on.
The bottom of the water is darker, and the two sets of skin of the mask are both dark.
Coupled with the refraction of water and the occlusion of the body, it is not easy to detect problems.
As soon as we got close to the water, a shadow suddenly floated above our heads.
Bai Shi popped his head up and was immediately splashed with water by the oars rowing next to him.
He wiped his face without saying anything, shook the water from his hair, hugged his body, and looked to the side unfriendlyly.
The police got a small wooden boat from somewhere and prepared to retrieve the body.
Sato and Takagi were both on the boat. There was also a sunshade cloth on the boat, with a pair of eyes vaguely exposed underneath. It looked like a child with a low sense of presence had gotten on board.
Miwako Sato had already seen the shadow under the water.
Now, she was not sure whether the kidnapper had any other accomplices who had slipped through the net. She immediately tensed up, planning to punch the suspect immediately if something went wrong, knocking the suspect unconscious and dragging him aboard.
However, when the person surfaced, Sato discovered that it was suspicious, but this person... she knew him!
After being confused for a while, Sato silently stretched out his hand, trying to pull the person onto the boat first.
In view of her experience of being rescued last time, Miwako Sato did not think of Matsuda as an accomplice of the robber. She just thought with complicated emotions that it was a coincidence that Matsuda was rescuing people again.
He obviously hates the police, but he still keeps doing good things... This time he came late and failed to save people. Matsuda must be feeling very sad. Sato thought about it and couldn't help but shed a little tears. He even thought that he should give it to his brother Matsuda.
Give out a medal.
Bai Shi looked at her outstretched hand and hesitated.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems better to hand it over to the police than to take the body away yourself - since Sato and the others can find it here, it means that they already know about the body being thrown into the river.
It is really difficult to explain that he has not died after being soaked in water for such a long time.
If you give them the real body now, when you wake up, you can say that you just slept and don't know anything, and let the police figure out all the details on their own.
But if you take away the original body, wait for it to be repaired and replaced with the original body, and then reappear, there will be a lot of things to explain.
Shiraishi figured it out quickly.
He fumbled to find the elf ball, secretly took the ball away, and pushed the main body into Sato's hand.
While the three people on the boat focused their attention on the main body, Shiraishi silently dived back into the water and transformed into a cat form in a blind spot.
As expected, this form does not require breathing. Shiraishi pops out his sharp claws and hooks the bulge on the bottom of the boat, hiding it under the boat like a piece of clinging seaweed.
Sato subconsciously hugged the "corpse" and pulled Shiraishi's body onto the boat with force.
After putting him down and trying to pull Matsuda up, she was startled and found that he was missing.
Sato's heart skipped a beat, and his first reaction was that something happened to Matsuda and he sank back into the water.
However, when she took off her coat and planned to enter the water to rescue others, no matter how she looked, she could not see anyone in the water.
This ship has a thin and narrow hull, so it stands to reason that it is unlikely that anyone could be hiding under the ship.
Moreover, if Matsuda could have grabbed the boat, he would have climbed out long ago. He had no reason to stay at the bottom of the boat.
But Miwako Sato was still worried and wanted to confirm.
However, before she entered the water, a scream suddenly came from beside her.
Sato turned back warily and saw that there was an elementary school student on the boat. The child was looking down at Shiraishi and untying the messy ropes on his body.
Next to Conan, Takagi turned blue and pointed at the "corpse" with a shocked face: "He, he is still breathing!"
