Chapter 59
Mao Lilan covered her mouth and nose. The smoke and heat in the basement became heavier and heavier. She realized that she was locked in the space, and she bent down against the wall in the dark to look for direction.
She heard hurried footsteps, someone was running towards her quickly.
Ishiki Ryosuke's leg was injured, and the fabric covering it quickly became sticky and blood-stained as he moved. Every movement was painful, and when he noticed Ran Mouri squatting on the ground, his eyes lit up.
"Ms. Maori, run quickly, the murderer who killed the village is chasing me." He shouted anxiously to Maori Ran.
"What?" Ran Mouri quickly supported Ryosuke Ishiki and looked behind her.
Seeing this, Ishiki Ryosuke began to urge: "Let's go quickly. She has a gun. Mr. Shimanaka and Ms. Saikawa were both killed."
Faint footsteps could be heard in the corridor that stretched endlessly into the darkness. Ran Mouri's expression became solemn. After noticing Ishiki Ryosuke's wound, she decided to prioritize sending the injured to a safe place.
In such an emergency situation, it was natural for him to miss the smugness in Ishiki Ryosuke's eyes.
After the fire gradually spread to the basement, Mao Lilan tried to open several doors, but they were all filled with thick smoke.
"I wonder how Sonoko and the others are doing." Ran Mouri looked worried.
Ishiki Ryosuke said perfunctorily: "They will definitely be fine. The most urgent thing at that time was our safety. The murderer is still chasing us."
The smoke around them grew thicker and thicker, and after turning a corner along the wall, they suddenly found themselves in a solid wall blocking their path.
Ishiki Ryosuke punched the wall and cursed.
The sound of pursuit behind him was getting closer and closer, and Ishiki Ryosuke's patience was running out, and he couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart.
Mao Lilan looked behind her nervously.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Mao Lilan looked at the other person and gradually saw the other person's face clearly in the darkness.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
"leaf?"
Okimori Ye Zi stared at Ishiki Ryosuke expressionlessly. She held a gun in one hand and the other hand hung by her side, with dark liquid dripping from her fingertips onto the ground.
"How could it be Ye Zi?!" Mao Lilan noticed Okimori Ye Zi's bloody hand. She was shocked and subconsciously wanted to step forward: "Ye Zi, what happened to your hand?"
As she took a step forward, Ishiki Ryosuke suddenly restrained her, and at the same time, a sharp dagger fell on the side of Mouri Ran's neck.
"Don't come over here, I will kill her if you dare to come over here." Ishiki Ryosuke threatened.
Ran Mouri realized that something was wrong, and she tightly grasped Ishiki Ryosuke's wrist which was holding the dagger.
Chongsen Ye Zi's cold eyes were dark, and his hand holding the pistol tightened.
Ishiki Ryosuke laughed proudly and said, "A madman like you actually cares about your friends?"
Mao Lilan pursed her lips.
Seeing that Okimori Ye Zi had indeed stopped moving, Ishiki Ryosuke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Tell me where you hid the treasure. If I'm in a good mood, I might let her go."
Chong Sen Ye Zi's laughter was a little hoarse. "At this time, you are still questioning whether others have hidden it? Didn't you already see it? You snatched the key from your friend and opened the treasure chest with your own hands."
"But thanks to you, I got to see what a dog-eat-dog situation looks like. I never thought you would actually kill your companions just to get that key. I have to thank you, otherwise my revenge plan would be much more difficult to implement."
When Ishiki Ryosuke thought about the contents of the treasure chest, he was completely enraged. He shouted, "There's nothing there at all. It's just a bunch of tattered paint. How can it be a treasure?"
"It must be you and your parents who hid the real treasure!"
Chongsen Ye Zi lowered his eyes, sadness spreading from his eyes. When he raised his eyes again, there was only a shocking hatred left.
"Yes, we hid those things in the hotel. It's a pity that you will never see them in your lifetime."
"It's actually in the hotel. No wonder we couldn't find it after searching in the basement for so long." Ishiki Ryosuke's mouth curved into a smile. His eyes were filled with enthusiasm for the treasure, and he had lost all his rationality.
Ran Mouri listened to the whole story from the beginning and understood the ultimate cause of the matter. She calmly held Ishiki Ryosuke's hand. When the other party focused all his attention on the passage back to the hotel, she stepped forward with one foot, increased the strength of her hand, quickly knocked away the dagger across her neck, and threw Ishiki Ryosuke out with a neat back throw.
Ishiki Ryosuke was knocked to the ground by the huge force. He was so stunned that he didn't even have time to recover. He was thrown to the ground and couldn't move for a while.
"Ye Zi." Mao Lilan looked at Okimori Ye Zi worriedly.
There was a hint of surprise on Okimori Yezi's face. She didn't expect that Maoli Ran's skills were so amazing.
She sneered sarcastically, raised the gun in her hand, and pointed it at Ishiki Ryosuke: "I never thought that being too clever would backfire. Go to hell."
His finger slowly pulled the trigger.
"etc--!"
Along with Edogawa Conan's voice of stopping, a gunshot followed.
At the last moment, Ishiki Ryosuke dragged his body and avoided the fatal blow. He survived, but his legs were not so lucky. He struggled to crawl towards the room where the passage was, dragging his legs that were pierced by bullets.
The moment he opened the door, a fire snake swallowed up his figure and screams.
Without the door blocking the way, the fire and thick smoke rolled towards the closest people, Mao Lilan and Okimori Ye Zi.
"Sister Xiaolan!" Conan Edogawa shouted.
Mao Lilan raised her hand, grabbed Okimori Ye Zi's arm, turned around and ran madly, racing against time against the thick smoke.
Kurokawa Akiwa noticed the abnormal brightness and heat in the basement, frowned, and then heard Edogawa Conan's shout.
"Mr. Principal, please open the door!"
Conan Edogawa was being held between Amuro Toru's arms and body, while Ran Mouri was pulling Okimori Ye Zi, with flames behind them.
The fire had spread in the basement, and Kurokawa Akiho decisively returned to the medical station to control the door of the underground passage.
Suzuki Sonoko was a little worried, but she was afraid of being a nuisance so she stood there anxiously pacing back and forth. When she saw that Mao Lilan was safe and sound, tears welled up in her eyes: "I'm so glad you're okay, Xiaolan."
"Ms. Okimori, come up quickly, what are you waiting for?" Amuro said.
At this moment, when they were about to be engulfed by the fire and even the ladder became scorching hot, Chongsen Ye Zi chose to stop.
She looked at the basement covered in flames, her eyes filled with complex and desolate emotions. A tear fell from the corner of her eye. She shook her head and gave up her place: "I'm not leaving. You guys should run away quickly."
Edogawa Conan's face darkened: "Don't say such things at a time like this, Sister Okimori, hurry up!"
The struggle beside the ladder caught Suzuki Sonoko's attention. With a rare serious expression, she shouted to Mori Yezi, "Come up quickly! I still need to settle the score with you for kicking me into the basement. Don't even think about running away."
When the power went out in the hotel, Suzuki Sonoko knew that the person who pushed her into the basement was Okimori Yezo, but she was in a coma and had no time to figure out what the meaning of Okimori Yezo's actions was.

The fire in the hotel engulfed everything in red blood.
The next morning, Kogoro Mouri reported the situation to the police, and Okimori Yoko also surrendered to the police at the same time.
The hotel burned down, Morishima could no longer operate, and the surrounding shops also closed down one after another. So the group of people who had just arrived for one day and had not had time to play when they were involved in the case had to end their trip early and go home.
Conan Edogawa put his hands in his pockets, looking at the hotel where the fire was put out, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.
Rum!
As soon as Kurokawa Akishige opened the notification bar, he found a series of task completion notifications. The task of finding the treasure had been completed, but the task of greeting Rum had failed.
Since entering the hotel, apart from that glass of wine, Kurokawa Akishige has not had any substantial greeting with rum.
Greetings from Rum's side are not counted if the mission is judged to be his.
Now that Rum has left Sen Island, the mission has been deemed a failure.
Kurokawa Akishige's attention was drawn to the treasure from beginning to end, and he completely forgot about the mission.
The legendary treasure of Morishima has always been placed in the most obvious place.
The early morning sunlight shone through the window onto the blackened oil painting, and the pirate's figure was completely hidden in the dark sea.

After returning to Beika Town, Kurokawa Akishige received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department before he had time to rest.
According to a call from the Metropolitan Police Department, the case of the criminals Takusuke Ku and Teiji Moriya has been submitted to the court for judgment, and they need to produce a detailed statement of property losses in order to receive compensation after the case is judged.
How can I be lazy when it comes to getting the compensation?
Before Kurokawa Akishige had time to check the status of the new park, he immediately contacted Morofushi Kagemitsu, and the two stayed up late to write a detailed list of property losses.
When the sky turned pale, Kurokawa Akiho finally raised his head from a pile of data. His beautiful blue eyes were rarely filled with fatigue. He took a sip of coffee to refresh himself.
Morofushi Kagemitsu's condition was not much better. Before Kurokawa Akifusa came back, he had been working on the new construction park. After he came back, he started staying up late to make details, and the dark circles under his eyes could no longer be hidden.
Hiro probably didn't work overtime this much even when he was at the winery.
These two dark circles are terrible.
[Even when Brother Gao Ming comes, I'm stunned.]
[There's no way around it, this is the treatment of illegal workers. Look at Qinqin and the others next door. Anyone who comes here can't help but spit on these black-hearted capitalists.]
Kurokawa Akishige patted Morufushi Kagemitsu on the shoulder and gave him a day off to let him have a good rest.
"Oh, right." Kurokawa Akiwa paused for a few seconds: "As long as the disguise is good enough, you can leave the amusement park that day."
Zhu Fushigi Jingguang understood the meaning of Kurokawa Akifusa's words, and his upward eyes were stunned for a moment.
【Hurry up and meet Brother Gao Ming!!】
[When Gao Ming got Hiro's phone, I cried my eyes out. It was so cruel.]
[Gao Ming immediately guessed that he was the only one left in the Zhufu family.]
[Young Principal, what you mean is that it's okay for Hiro to go see Gao Ming, right? ]
Kurokawa Akishige ignored Morofushi Kagemitsu's hesitation and rushed to the Beikacho Metropolitan Police Department with the freshly-made details.

Kurokawa Akiho looked at the busy office, which was full of people answering calls, and knocked on the door. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Officer Megure."
Chiba Kazunobu: "Are you the director Kurokawa?"
Kurokawa Akiwa nodded and said, "I'll deliver the detailed loss statement."
A look of realization crossed Chiba Kazunobu's face. He took the thick stack of property certificates and detailed information from Kurokawa Akifusa's hand and asked, "Is this actually so much?"
The details were covered with certificates, stacked together into a thick pile.
Chiba Kazunobu placed these on Megure Jusan's desk and said, "I'll let Inspector Megure know when he comes back. Thank you for your hard work in delivering them."
"Chiba, come and help—"
Chiba and Shin glanced at their colleagues and said, "I have work to do. Excuse me."
The whole office was filled with a busy atmosphere. After handing in the required materials, Kurokawa Akiho did not stay any longer. When he turned and passed the fax machine, his gaze paused slightly, and he reached out to pick up the paper in the fax machine.
"It's been three years since I last saw my stupid police friends. A new game has officially begun..."
Kurokawa Akiho flipped through the paper in confusion. What kind of Chuunibyou was it that would lead to such Chuunibyou remarks being reported to the Metropolitan Police Department?
Megure Juzo had just returned to the office after a police call. His colleague Takagi Wataru also saw Kurokawa Akiwa and raised his hand to greet him.
Kurokawa Akishige handed over the fax in his hand: "It just came out of the fax machine."
Miwako Sato's pupils suddenly dilated as she looked at the fax.
The fax machine started moving again, and fax papers recording the declaration were printed out one after another.
