In the cabin, with the consolation and encouragement of the three little ones, the children started to eat dinner even though they had no appetite.
Prepare for a long stalemate.
After quickly finishing the lunch box and cleaning up the garbage, we began to prepare a place to sleep in the cabin under the guidance of Teacher Yuko.
Even if the criminals just locked them in the house and did not restrict their movements, that was all they could do now.
Ensure sufficient physical and mental strength, so that if there is a chance to escape, at least you will not fail in these aspects.
But just as Yuko was making the beds for the children, she suddenly covered her heart and staggered towards the bench.
"Teacher Yuko, what's wrong with you?" Conan was the first to notice that something was wrong with her and hurried forward to ask.
"My heart feels a little uncomfortable..." Yuko took out a small cloth bag from her bag and took out a first-generation medicine from it.
"I'll go get some water." Seeing this situation, Conan immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He looked at Hattori Heiji and then ran towards the iron gate with his short legs.
Outside the room, watching Conan running over on the monitor, and hearing a knock on the door, the man in the leather jacket tilted his head. The long-haired man beside him walked over and opened the iron door, then looked down at Conan with a gloomy expression, "What's the matter?"
"Private Marseille..." Conan spoke with a cute accent, looked up at the long-haired man weakly and said: "Teacher Yuko has an old heart problem and needs to take medicine. I want to take some water back, is that okay?"
"Give him the bottle from the fridge."
Hearing the words of the man in leather jacket, the "rabbit" next to him opened the refrigerator, took out the mineral water and handed it to Conan.
"Son, what do you think of this country?"
"Huh?"
Ignoring Conan's stunned expression, the leather-jacketed man continued, "This country has never shouldered the responsibilities it should have, nor has it ever seriously protected its own people.
If nothing happens, this country will stagnate, become content with its pleasures and not strive for progress. Can you imagine what this country will become when you grow up?"
“……..”
Facing Conan's silence, the man in leather jacket leaned over and said, "Son, what we want to protect is the future of this country."
"But why did you hurt us?"
Conan looked at the other person seriously and said, "Does it mean that such extreme methods are necessary to protect the country?
You say this country is failing to protect its own people, but aren't you doing the same thing? Even more recklessly?"
"You little brat!" Huangmao stood up immediately after hearing that, with an angry look on his face, wanting to teach this little brat a lesson.
"stop."
The leather jacket man stared at the yellow-haired man coldly and scolded him, then stood up and looked at Conan seriously, and then said: "I said, if you don't act rashly, I won't hurt you, let's go."
"Oh..." Conan's face changed from serious to frightened.
When they reached the iron gate, Conan turned around and said weakly, "Um... can we turn off the lights... we're going to sleep..."
"I understand." The man in leather jacket nodded, and then the rabbit sent Conan back into the house and closed the iron door again.
"for you."
Conan handed the water to Teacher Yuko. After she drank the medicine, he said something to Hattori Heiji, then walked to the switch and turned off several chandeliers in the room.
The room suddenly fell into darkness.
………..
In the room outside the house where the four criminals were.
After the monitor went black, Rabbit and Yellow Hair went to rest early.
The leather-clad man removed the barrel of his gun for maintenance. The long-haired man, who was playing the clown, didn't join him in the rest. Instead, he watched the man's movements and slowly said, "Ueno-san, has that gun been used recently?"
"Why do you think so?" the man in leather jacket asked, his hands moving non-stop.
"The recent case of the criminal being shot and killed." The long-haired man replied.
"I did it." Ueno looked at the long-haired man calmly and said, "That guy is just scum, not worthy of being a criminal. Are you scared?"
“No, it’s all for this country.”
"We are like a child who is sleeping soundly after being set on fire. We must wake this child up quickly, as he is putting himself in danger and is defenseless.
So, we're going to make a statement tomorrow."
"Hi." The long-haired man nodded and gave a gloomy smile, "Because that is our mission."
Ueno loaded the pistol, held it in his hand, his eyes filled with determination, “Once the mission is completed, I will resolutely understand myself.
Everything depends on tomorrow."
………
As time passed, Conan and Hattori Heiji groped their way out of the bed.
"Then let's get started."
"Well, before that, let me get rid of the camera first."
In the darkness, Hattori Heiji, a dark-skinned guy, groped in the dark and secretly placed his coat on the camera.
The lights in the room were already off, and now he was wearing clothes, so I believe the camera couldn't see anything.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Conan turned on the flashlight on his wrist and sighed, "It's a pity there's no signal in the mountains, otherwise I could use my earring-shaped phone to call Detective Tang Ze."
"Don't even think about escaping in the mountains. It's more reliable to find a public telephone booth after escaping." Hattori Heiji replied.
"Hey! What are you doing!!"
Seeing Ryosuke who heard the noise nearby, he saw the two people exploring the environment in the house with flashlights. He was so scared that his soul almost flew away, and hurriedly shouted, "There are surveillance cameras there!!"
"Don't worry, I've blocked that area with clothes." Hattori Heiji pointed at the monitor and told Ryosuke not to worry.
"I see." Ryosuke breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice, "So what should we do now?"
"Actually, I always felt that I could hear the slight whistling of the wind, and there was a slight cool breeze blowing over." Hattori Heiji explained: "This proves that there may be a ventilation duct or something in the room. Maybe Conan can run out and call the police."
"Is that so!" Ryosuke perked up when he heard that. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's find it quickly."
The whole room was not big to begin with, and the three of them found the source of ventilation without much effort.
In the corner of the room, there is a raised square pillar against the wall. I thought there was cement under the wooden board and it had been sealed long ago, but I didn’t expect that it was just casually covered with wooden boards.
And below, there is a square vertical passage like a deep well.
The three men moved the wooden boards away, with Hattori Heiji leading the way, and quickly went down into the ruined tunnel.
