At 12:10 in the morning, the rain hit the window with a crackling sound, washing away the dust on the glass again and again until the window became as bright and clean as new.
The door of the locker room was pushed open again, and Ishimoto Kyokichi walked in with a serious face. He looked around, as if looking for the traces of Sakaki Makoto and the other two.
The result disappointed him a little. You could hear a pin drop in the locker room. It was as quiet as a hospital morgue at 3 a.m., and there was no other sound except the crackling of the light bulb above.
but...
Ishimoto Kyokichi knew that Sakaki Makoto and the other two were hiding here. Just because they couldn't be seen didn't mean they didn't exist.
Crash...
After changing his clothes and hiding the bag of diamonds in the deepest part of the closet, Ishimoto Kyokichi felt relieved. He walked to the door leading to the bathing pool and saw two dark shadows in the tub through the mist.
Are there other guests?
Ishimoto Kyokichi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned back to ask about the situation, but before he could say anything...
"Who's there?"
The people in the pool found him:
"Ishimoto...Police Department?"
The person who was speaking was Aohara Daisuke, and he was in a position where he could see the door. As for why his eyes could see through the mist like a laser scanner...
It's not very clear.
Maybe it's just a guess.
"Mr. Qingyuan?"
Kyokichi Ishimoto recognized Daisuke Aohara's voice. He took notes for a whole day and was deeply impressed by the program team members who were more "characteristic" and suspicious, including Daisuke Aohara.
As he lived alone in a room, he was naturally a strong suspect, but the police did not find any direct evidence to convict him.
"It's Inspector Ishimoto as expected. You're here to take a bath as well."
Aohara Daisuke grinned, raised the small cup of sake in his hand, and invited warmly:
"Want a drink?"
"You can't drink alcohol while working."
Kyokichi Ishimoto turned on the faucet and began to wash his body. This is the rule of taking a hot spring bath, including a family of three using the same tub of water. Before taking a bath, everyone needs to wash their bodies first.
A few minutes later, Kyokichi Ishimoto finished cleaning his body, slid into the bathtub, put a hot towel on his head, and sat far away, not getting close to Daisuke Aohara and the others.
Aohara Daisuke and Anan didn't have a good impression of Ishimoto Kyokichi, so naturally they didn't want to pay any attention to him. They lowered their voices and continued drinking.
The three guests have all taken their seats, and Sakaki Makoto and the other two are exchanging secret codes in the dark, and the show is about to begin.
12:25.
"Brother Qingyuan, the wine is finished..."
With a flushed face and a hint of alcohol, Anan shook the empty bottle and said unhappily:
"Not a drop left."
"No more?"
Aohara Daisuke, who was also a little drunk, snatched the bottle in disbelief, tilted his head back and poured it out, but there was not a drop of wine.
"No, it's okay!"
Anan waved his hand:
"There's a bottle of Black Dragon Daiginjo on the counter. I'll go get it!"
"I'll go."
Aohara Daisuke stood up unsteadily:
"I just need to go to the bathroom."
Stepping on the tiles, Qingyuan Daisuke walked into the locker room with a shaky step, and walked out without stopping. Soon...
He came back holding a bottle of dark green Black Dragon Daiginjo.
When passing by the locker, he suddenly stopped, his body straight, his eyes clear, where was the slightest sign of being drunk?
Casually putting the bottle aside, he began to walk around the wall, afraid that there were other people hiding in the shadows.
Fortunately, Sakaki Makoto and the other two had been prepared. They saw through Aohara Daisuke's route in advance while the enemy was in the dark and barely avoided him. They were covered with a black cloth coated with VANTABLACK special pigment, which had a light absorption rate of up to 99.4%, and completely blended into the darkness. Aohara Daisuke was unable to detect them.
This kind of night artifact is simply for Xiao Hei.
Makoto Sakaki had also heard of VANTABLACK special pigment. Logically speaking, this thing cannot be used for commercial purposes and is not sold publicly. I'm afraid that Brother Kidd also got it through special channels.
No wonder Kidd was able to escape from the clutches of Investigation Section 2 many times. In the dark, VANTABLACK paint is more useful than optical camouflage and is no different from invisibility.
Not finding any problems, Daisuke Aohara finally felt relieved. He stopped hiding and quickly returned to the locker, rummaging through Kyokichi Ishimoto's clothes, looking for the diamond.
But no matter how stupid Kyokichi Ishimoto was, he would not be so stupid as to put the diamond in his locker. This is the most basic precautionary awareness of a policeman, but it caused a lot of trouble for Daisuke Aohara.
"Damn, that idiot didn't bring the diamonds!"
While cursing under his breath, Aohara Daisuke quickly searched other cabinets. If he didn't find the diamond here, he would have to risk going to Ishimoto Kyokichi's room, steal the diamond and run away.
As long as he gets the diamond, will he still care about the things at home?
Anyway...
This is not the first time he has escaped. At worst, he can just run to the countryside in Shikoku for a few months to avoid the limelight. Once the limelight is over, he can sell the diamonds, get plastic surgery, and get a fake identity, and he can be a hero again!
The beautiful expectations for future life forced Aohara Daisuke to speed up. He could not afford to delay as Ishimoto Kyokichi might come out at any time, and this was his last chance.
“Hurry… hurry…”
Perhaps the goddess of luck heard his call. After searching for a few minutes, Aohara Daisuke, who was sweating profusely, suddenly shook his body and took out a bag from the bottom of the cabinet in the corner. Excited, he immediately kissed the ground and muttered something. From the sound of it, it seemed that he was thanking all the gods in the world.
but...
"Do you know that among all the gods in the world, there is one god who is not liked by anyone?"
A resounding voice sounded behind him. Aohara Daisuke turned around like lightning, his pupils suddenly shrinking:
"It's you! Where did you come from?!"
Daisuke Aohara simply couldn't understand it. He had clearly checked the locker room, even the ceiling, and only dared to steal after making sure there were no traps. But Sakaki Makoto still showed up like a ghost!
However, the next second, he knew where Makoto Sakaki was hiding.
The originally pitch-black ground began to bulge up slowly, as if something was about to come out. Then the black cloth was lifted, and Kid and Conan jumped out from both sides, with mocking and teasing smiles on their faces.
3v1, Aohara Daisuke is like a rat in a cage, unable to fly away!
In front of him is a gate blocked by Sakaki Makoto and his two companions, and behind him is a bathhouse with no exit. Aohara Daisuke can only fight with his back against the wall, betting that he can break out of the encirclement of Sakaki Makoto and his two companions.
He pulled out a gleaming dagger from under his yukata, and swung the tip of the knife back and forth at Sakaki Makoto and the other two. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he threatened:
"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way. Otherwise...oh, brother, why are you wasting time talking when we have guns!"
bite!
The dagger fell to the ground. Aohara Daisuke pinched his earlobes with both hands and squatted on the spot. He was as depressed as a Cadillac owner who was caught red-handed. His eyes kept glancing at the MK23 in Sakaki Makoto's hand, not daring to move.
