He poured the wine in his hand around the fireplace.

Aoi Hoshino originally planned to use a bomb to set a trap for Gin that would explode when touched, but under the threatening look of Keimitsu Morobushi, she had to give up this tempting idea and instead used alcohol and fire, just like in the anime.

However, unlike in the comics, this fire was deliberately lit by Aoi Hoshino, so it burned more vigorously, and the focus was all on the area near the fireplace.

This caused Vodka and Gin, who had originally planned to go down the chimney and leave the wine cellar, to have to cover their mouths and noses and return to the roof the same way after being choked by the smoke.

'Stop.'

Gin held the stairs with one hand and pointed the other hand downwards, making a pause gesture to Vodka.

Vodka was stunned. Before his brain could react, his climbing movement had already stopped.

"Ahem...Brother? Ahem..."

He opened his mouth to ask, but the words just came out and turned into a cough.

"Stop for a moment."

Gin said this, listening attentively for a while, and seemed to have confirmed something before continuing to climb up.

Vodka didn't get an answer and didn't say much. He just closed his mouth, adjusted his breathing, and then silently followed him and climbed up as well.

One step, two steps, three steps...

By the time Vodka finally emerged from the chimney, his forehead was covered with dense beads of water.

Under normal circumstances, this amount of exercise would not have made him sweat so much, but the smoke that kept floating upwards and the gradually burning temperature made his back involuntarily feel slightly damp. It was not until he crawled out that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh...it's finally out..."

He knelt on one knee, with thick smoke billowing from the chimney behind him.

It took Vodka a long time to adjust his breathing.

While he was adjusting his breathing, Gin had already observed his surroundings.

"Let's go."

He said to Vodka who stood up from the ground, and at the same time, he turned around and walked towards the stairwell first.

"Brother...those cops...and Pisco..." Are we just going to leave them like this?

Vodka asked, seemingly not quite understanding the intention of Gin's action, but he followed closely behind him without any hesitation.

It was only then that he realized that there was no more sirens downstairs.

And Gin had obviously noticed this a long time ago.

He glanced at him and said in a light tone:

"The underground wine cellar is on fire. The police will definitely focus on evacuating the crowd. As for Pisco, he probably doesn't know yet that his actions have been filmed and posted online. So if he's still alive, he'll definitely go straight home. Let's go look for him directly..."

Of course, if the fire downstairs hadn't been so huge, Gin would have gone there himself to check the situation.

Otherwise, why did he insist on climbing down the chimney when there were so many paths to choose from?

Unfortunately, they were driven back halfway up by the thick smoke and had no choice but to go directly to Pisco's house and wait for him.

But there is still one good thing about this fire...

Gin thought.

At least the police were attracted by the fire, which gave them enough time to leave.

but……

Gin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

What made him feel strange was that the police seemed to be very sure that there was someone on the roof, otherwise they would not have been moving closer step by step.

But……

He glanced obscurely at Vodka who was following behind him.

But it was just a glance, and he quickly looked away.

It couldn't be vodka.

Let’s not talk about whether he will betray me or not. If it is really him, then he is too direct. People will look at him with suspicion without even thinking about it.

But if it wasn't him, then who could guess his subsequent actions based on mere conjecture?

Subconsciously, the figure of Hoshino Aoi flashed through Gin's mind, but soon, this guess was put behind him.

It can't be her.

Gin thought.

After all, she is dead.

Although according to people who went to the scene to investigate later, they could not confirm whether the things that had been blown into pieces by the bomb and then burned black by the fire were the bodies of "Middles" and "Scotland".

But no matter who it is, after witnessing such an explosion, no one would have any objection to her death.

Gin naturally wouldn't know either.

So this speculation only stayed in my mind for a moment and then disappeared completely.

But the person he was thinking of was facing a crisis of trust at this time.

"Officer Amamiya."

Seeing that Haibara Ai was picked up from the ground by the woman named "Masuyama Wasabi", not to mention resisting the whole time, Edogawa Conan even saw a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

Edogawa Conan thought about it, and when the fire gradually grew bigger, he took the initiative to walk out from the corner.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was shocked.

He had indeed discovered that Conan liked to run to dangerous places, but considering that the other party not only did not cause any trouble, but sometimes also discovered things that ordinary people could not find, so gradually, whether it was Morofushi Kagemitsu or Date Ko, even Inspector Megure, they all began to slowly accept the presence of such a small figure at the crime scene.

But that didn't mean he wanted to see him here.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's brows frowned instantly.

"Conan? Why are you here?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Fujingguang seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously glanced at the brown-haired girl who was being swung in the air by Hoshino Aoi.

And then, what Edogawa Conan said just happened to confirm his thoughts.

"I'm here to look for Huibara-san. She just disappeared in the hall. I was worried she might be in danger, so..."

At this point, a faint mist gradually appeared in Edogawa Conan's eyes, and at the same time, his voice slowly turned into the babyish voice he used when he wanted to act cute.

"I didn't expect a fierce-looking grandfather would suddenly come in, holding a gun. He didn't look like a good person at first glance. I was so scared that I quickly hid. And then, Officer Amamiya, you and that big sister appeared here..."

Hearing this, Zhu Fujingguang wanted to criticize him. After all, there were police officers from the Investigation Section upstairs. He could have sought help from the police instead of rushing up there himself.

But considering the current situation, Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't say anything more, just sighed, and silently picked up Edogawa Conan.

"Forget it, let's go out first and talk about other things later."

However, when they really stood in front of Dr. Agasa's car, Morofushi Kagemitsu could no longer remember to criticize Edogawa Conan.

because……
