Chapter 158 "Holding Hands." (Additional 2 in 1)

…

In Miyagawa Rei's room.

He fell on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He is thinking about things.

Shiho stayed with Conan Edogawa, and although he never saw himself, the possibility of Conan Edogawa mentioning him was very high, so it was also possible that he revealed that he was Magno in advance.

However, until today, Shiho knew that he had always been wandering around Conan Edogawa.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it some kind of game power?

Moreover, he clearly left time for Shiho and gave her the opportunity to tell the truth to Conan Edogawa, but she still didn't tell him.

Because...Edogawa Conan, can't we know his identity and the organization's related matters too quickly?

Some can be changed, some can be planned from a long timeline and have an indirect impact, and some cannot be changed.

It's really difficult to grasp this subtle difference.

However, it is not impossible to do so.

When it comes to Mingmei's affairs, isn't he taking a long-term view?

This time, you can keep trying.

"Ling, the person in the room you are suspicious of is just an ordinary traveler." The voice of Morofu Jingguang rang in his mind.

Miyakawa Ling replied: "I don't think it's my illusion."

"Understood. I'll find a chance to check out all the nearby rooms."

"OK."

Miyakawa Ling sat up. Actually, he was not too worried that his meeting with Vermode would be seen by others.

First, Vermouth was in disguise and his appearance had changed a lot. Second, the organization's plan was aimed at Akai Shuichi. If something unexpected happened, he would only be adding insult to injury.

Anyway, no one will doubt him, so it doesn't matter if he spends a little.

Being so "loyal" to the organization, he deserves to be trusted.

The next morning on the cruise ship soon arrived, and as soon as Miyagawa Ryo walked out of the room, he heard screams.

A murder occurred on the cruise ship, but thanks to the power of the sleeping Kogoro, the case was solved in less than an hour.

Two hours after solving the case, Miyagawa Ling was strolling with others when he received a call.

Since the signal was very poor at sea, the voice on the phone was intermittent: "Poseidon... kill... die..."

Miyakawa Ling said politely: "The signal is bad, I can't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"

Opposite: "Die... Poseidon... Die..."

"Is the sea god dead?" asked Miyakawa Ling doubtfully.

“…”

There was silence for a moment, and then the voice on the other side became full of hostility: "Everyone...die!"

"Did everyone see Poseidon die?"

“…”The call was hung up.

Miyakawa Ling said, "Huh?" "The signal is cut off?"

Everyone around: "..."

Just now, Miyakawa Ling turned on the external speaker and they all heard it.

It was a bit scary at first, but...

"puff……"

I don't know who started laughing first, but even passers-by started laughing, and Edogawa Conan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

I don’t want to tell you what the person on the other end of the phone is doing, Yu Renling...it’s really abstract!

It's hard not to suspect that he is deliberately messing with people's mentality!

But he still uses this innocent face and expression!

"Ahem," Mao Lilan coughed, still smiling, but whispered, "Mr. Hane, the person opposite is playing a prank, but you'd better not say that."

"Right, right," Suzuki Sonoko laughed enough and said seriously, "Forget about it now, but when we get to Hailai Island, don't say bad things about the Sea God."

"There is a temple of the sea god there, which enshrines the sea god. There are many religious believers who make pilgrimages there. If they hear you, they might beat you up! In serious cases, there might even be blood!"

Miyagawa Ling smiled: "You have done a lot of homework! Thank you, I understand."

"Of course we have to do our homework! Otherwise, what's the point of going out!" Suzuki Sonoko said proudly, "I've already arranged the itinerary! Tonight we'll go to the white sand beach to watch the stars, tomorrow morning we'll go to the shrine to worship the sea god, in the afternoon we'll go diving, and then at sunset we'll make a wish to the sea god..."

"I wonder when I can harvest sweet love~! If the Sea God helps me do it, I will definitely enshrine Him in the family ancestral hall!" The eldest lady looked longing.

Conan Edogawa has half-moon eyes. If he were still Kudo Shinichi, he would definitely say something retorted, but now he can only bear it.

He changed the subject: "Can a wish made to the Sea God really come true? I heard that the Sea God is a very scary god."

"That rumor..." Mao Lilan recalled, "It is said that every time a believer's wish is fulfilled, the sea god will kill a sinner. Many people have died on Hailai Island... It sounds scary, but it should be false, otherwise it would not have become a famous tourist destination."

"It must be fake!" Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes. "It sounds like a story made up by the locals to attract the attention of outsiders!"

"Isn't it also a story that the sea god can fulfill wishes?" Conan Edogawa explained.

Suzuki Sonoko gave him a slap on the face: "If you can't speak, don't speak!"

“Ouch!”

Miyakawa Ling pulled Conan Edogawa over and rubbed his head: "Conan, does it hurt?"

“It hurts!!”

Miyagawa Ling's eyes were full of pity: "Conan, later on, go make a wish to the Sea God that your head will never hurt again!"

"……"ha?

Edogawa Conan numb face.

Such a good person, but unfortunately he has a mouth!

"Hahaha!" Everyone else laughed.

Maori Kogoro suddenly joined in seriously: "That's not just a story, people really keep dying on Hailai Island."

"dad?"

“Otherwise, do you think that I, a famous detective, was invited there just for fun? The Miss Miaki who invited me is no ordinary person!” The man raised his head proudly: “I, Maori Kogoro, went there just to save more innocent and poor girls! Hahahahahaha!”

Mao Lilan: "..."

It's really embarrassing.

Want to pretend not to know him.

Miyagawa Ryo was very supportive, with sparkling eyes, as if he was looking at an idol, and said in an admiring tone: "Mr. Maori, if there really is a god, you must be it! When I see you here, I feel that there is no case that cannot be solved! No matter how deeply the truth is hidden, you can discover it!"

"Low key, low key, hahahaha!" Kogoro Mouri couldn't close his mouth with laughter.

Speaking of which, the way these two get along is also quite strange. Suzuki Sonoko pulled Mao Lilan and said, "What did the uncle do? Brainwashed Ling like this?"

Mao Lilan: "Do I look like I know?"

Also, why did it suddenly become Ling Ge?

There was a commotion here, and over there, Haibara Ai was walking alone at the end of the team, looking at them coldly.

Miyakawa Ling suddenly turned around and said, "Xiao Ai, how many rumors about Hailai Island have you heard?"

Huiyuan Ai's face became more serious: "Apart from these, I only know that the 'Sea God' will issue an order every once in a while, asking the miko to announce his prophecy."

"What is the most recent prophecy?" Mao Lilan heard it and asked curiously.

Suzuki Sonoko recalled: "Uh... it didn't seem important. I saw it once and forgot about it."

Maori Kogoro said proudly: "Now it's up to me! You youngsters are not reliable at all! The most recent prophecy was about a kind of wine - gin."

Miyakawa Ling curled the corners of his lips.

He was really curious about Gin's expression when he learned the news.

…

The ship was about to dock, and standing on the ship, we could already see the small island in the distance.

The tourists couldn't wait to gather on the deck and discuss excitedly.

At this moment, the radio on the cruise ship made a "buzzing" sound.

"die……"

"Sea God...kill...sizzle..."

"Everyone...die...atonement!"

The sound was weird and sticky, making one's hair stand on end.

The sound was repeated over and over again until two minutes later, when it was urgently turned off by the staff.

A large number of people who come to Helai Island for sightseeing come here for the legend of the sea god, so the voice on the radio has a great impact.

The tourists first discussed the issue in groups of two or three, and then all came together to ask the staff for an explanation.

Soon, the radio began to explain that this was just a small game to increase the sense of immersion, encouraging tourists to find the truth through the suspenseful elements in the story of Poseidon Island. Anyone who perfectly reproduced the story of Poseidon during this trip would receive a beautiful gift on the return trip.

When the tourists heard this, they became excited!

Only Conan Edogawa, looking at the lush island in the distance, knew that these words were just made up on the spot by the ship's side.

They didn't want to cause panic, nor did they take the word "death" seriously.

Half an hour later, the cruise ship docked and the tourists lined up to disembark.

"What a humid air! What a cool breeze!" Suzuki Sonoko opened her arms and ran forward happily.

"Hold your luggage carefully! There are so many people here..." Mouri Ran helplessly helped her push the suitcase. Suzuki Sonoko quickly ran back and took it.

Miyagawa Ling tilted his head and looked in one direction.

There were constant cheers coming from there, it was quite lively, and many of the passengers getting off the ship were heading in that direction.

Suzuki Sonoko said, "That's where the Poseidon Temple is. Our hotel is also nearby."

She covered her mouth and whispered, "I also know exclusive news! The witch lives next to our hotel, and she is a super beauty!"

"What?!" Maori Kogoro's eyes suddenly lit up: "What are you waiting for! Let's go! In order to investigate the truth, I can't wait to meet the shrine maiden!"

As Kogoro Maori spoke, he had already run about ten meters.

"Wait... it's a long way to go..."

"Let him go, we'll take a taxi!"

By the time they arrived at the hotel, it was already eight o'clock, a little later than they expected.

A few people were having a meal at a restaurant next to the hotel. During the meal, the waiter not only recommended dishes to them, but also kept talking about topics related to the god of the sea and praised the beauty and character of the witches.

After dinner, although it was a bit late, it was not time to rest yet, so Suzuki Sonoko suggested going to the famous white sand beach!

Kogoro Mori wanted to go see the shrine maiden nearby and refused to go with them; the two children had other thoughts and lied that they were tired and wanted to sleep; Miyagawa Ryo agreed, but soon after they went out together, he found a reason to separate from them.

As expected, not long after he left, Edogawa and Conan slipped out.

Miyagawa Ling followed in the dark at a moderate pace.

At around nine o'clock, many tourists came out to visit the night market. The lights on Hailai Island were bright, and the yellow pearl on the top of the Poseidon Temple was the most eye-catching scenery.

The direction that Edogawa and Conan were heading towards was the Sea God Temple. The temple was open from 8am to 6pm, but now it was closed and the road was empty.

There is a long bamboo forest in front of the temple. There are lights on both sides of the path. It is not dark, but it is eerie enough in the night. The bamboo forest also looks dark green and has no end.

In order to avoid poisonous snakes hiding in the bamboo forest, the two of them still walked up the stairs under the street lights. Miyagawa Ling saw from a distance that Edogawa Conan tripped and knelt on the stairs, and behind him, Haibara Ai walked to his side, squatted down, and picked up something.

Edogawa Conan tilted his head and looked at her.

Huihara Ai raised her hand and pressed it, and a lantern lit up in her hand.

The light from the lantern was warm yellow, and under the bleak street light, it illuminated the girl's face, making it look more lively.

Conan Edogawa pointed up the stairs and Haibara Ai nodded.

The two continued to move forward, and Miyagawa Ling soon arrived at the position where the two had just been.

He lowered his eyes and saw a slight trace of blood on the ground. It must be that Conan Edogawa had injured his knee.

Miyagawa Ling bent down and wiped the blood with a handkerchief.

"Ling." Morofushi Jingguang said softly, "Mr. Akai is behind you."

Miyakawa Ling paused and looked back.

There was no one in sight, only the rustling of bamboo trees.

He realized that what Morofushi Kagemitsu meant was that Akai Shuichi was also walking towards the temple.

"Why do we have to act tonight?" He sighed, put away his handkerchief and quickened his pace.

…

“It’s locked.”

"It's okay to leave a secret signal outside, but it's better to go inside." Huihara Ai raised the lantern a little higher and looked at the gate of the temple: "The Sea God Festival is tomorrow. If that person has any action, it will be tomorrow at the latest."

Conan Edogawa put his hands in his pockets and sneezed.

If I had known, I would have worn long pants.

"That being said, how do you expect me to open a door like this? It's impossible."

"Think of a way." Huibara Ai said expressionlessly.

Conan Edogawa: "It would be better to make a wish to the sea god. There is a dog hole in the temple, which is more reliable."

Haibara frowned and looked at Edogawa Conan unhappily.

Conan Edogawa thought she was dissatisfied with his attitude, but he heard her say:

"Edogawa, why do you sound more and more like Hane Rei?"

"..."Edogawa Conan: "?"

"Wait, what you said...are you dissatisfied with me or with Yu Renling?"

"I am dissatisfied with both of you, especially his speaking style!"

"This is really annoying." Conan Edogawa agreed when he thought of the scene where the young man asked him to wish that his head wouldn't hurt.

Huiyuan Ai: "When will you be serious?"

"I'm serious..." Edogawa Conan approached the door, "It looks like this door can only be opened with a key. The key should be with the witch. It would take too much time to go back and find the key, and we may not find it."

He looked around with a calm gaze, not knowing what he was looking for: "But, if there is..."

"Come here." Huibara Ai suddenly said.

Conan Edogawa ran over, squatted down, and looked at the floor in front of the gate.

"Here... right here, something's not right." Huihara Ai looked into the darkness along the cracks in the floor. "When cleaning, I can't miss this place. What's the reason for the accumulated dust?"

"You don't think there's a secret passage, do you? In such an obvious place?"

Huibara Ai ignored him, walked three steps to the left, and moved closer to observe with a lantern.

She looked serious, but before she had observed for two minutes, she suddenly heard another sound besides the wind blowing through the treetops.

“Crack…”

Haibara Ai's expression changed slightly and she quickly took a few steps back.

In front of her, the secret passage slowly opened!

Is there anyone inside? About to come out?

Dangerous——

"What a coincidence." Conan Edogawa's voice was very innocent. When Ai Huihara looked up, she saw him standing next to a stone pillar and said with a smile, "I also think there is a secret passage here."

That smile resembles someone.

“……” Huibara Ai.

She wants to curse!

Edogawa definitely did it on purpose!

Haibara Ai's eyes were cold and she pulled her right hand slightly away.

Conan Edogawa saw the gun she had just grasped subconsciously: "...I was wrong."

"Let's go." Huibara Ai took the first step.

Conan Edogawa stopped her and said, "Hey, wait a minute... let me go ahead!"

…

Both of them went down.

The secret passage looked like it was slowly closing.

Miyakawa Ling didn't hesitate much, and followed him down as the secret passage closed.

There were wall lights on both walls of the tunnel, and I could faintly hear the footsteps of the two people in front of me, but they were very light, as if they would disappear in the next second.

However, Miyagawa Rei was not panicked. He had Morofuku Jingguang to guide him, so there was no way he would fall behind.

There were many forks in the secret passage, and Edogawa and Conan could only rely on their own judgment to walk. Miyagawa Ling gradually approached them and could hear some conversations.

"...Secret passage...Purpose..."

"Well, be careful."

"Sounds...on board..."

“Someone!”

The secret passage was bare on both sides, and there was no place to hide!

The second after Miyakawa Ling heard this, a strange female voice asked:

"Who are you?"

Then came an angry male voice: "Stop! Don't run!"

Miyakawa Ling made a "tsk" sound and advanced instead of retreating.

At the corner, Edogawa Conan ran too fast and bumped directly into Miyagawa Ryo's arms.

This was the darkest place and he couldn't see clearly at all. He was so scared that he thought he was surrounded and there were people behind him!

Subconsciously, I put my hand on the watch, wanting to inject the anesthetic needle.

But he failed.

Because his collar was lifted up, his hands were held down, and he couldn't move.

And Haibara Ai, who was two steps behind, also had her pupils shrink. She braked in time and bumped into Miyagawa Ryo's legs.

Miyakawa Ling used his other hand to lift her up as well.

Huihara Ai drew her gun and pointed it at Miyagawa Ryo's head.

Miyagawa Ling felt like he was being attacked by the paws of two kittens.

"Hold on tight." He couldn't help but smile.

The familiar voice successfully stunned both of them.

Miyakawa Ling turned around and ran back the way he came.

The body of an adult who exercises regularly is completely different from that of a child. Miyagawa Ryo is very fast, and even with two in his hands, he can obviously handle it with ease.

Even the sound of footsteps was barely audible.

Conan Edogawa's heart was pounding. It was obviously unreasonable for Miyagawa Ryo to appear here, but he actually felt strangely relieved.

Huihara Ai raised her arm and fired two shots at the wall lamp. One shot missed and the other shot shattered the light, plunging the road into darkness.

Conan Edogawa looked at her in shock, but had no time to ask. Haibara Ai's action brought him back to his senses. He twisted his body with difficulty and shot a needle at the black shadow chasing him from behind.

He didn't know whether he hit the target or not, because Miyakawa Ling had already led them to the next fork in the road.

"Is Temple Escape fun?" he asked with amusement.

"..."Neither of them said anything.

There are three more passages ahead, and Miyakawa Ling asked again: "Do you still want to continue playing the exploration game?"

Conan Edogawa said with difficulty: "Brother Hane... I'm almost suffocating!"

"Do you still want to play?"

"……"no.

I have no words to complain about. Conan Edogawa doesn't know why he felt that this unreliable young man was gentle when they first met.

It's obviously quite evil!

Give the truly gentle Hexi back to him!

"Being alive is more important." He squeezed out a voice.

"Then let's go back." Miyakawa Ling put them down and smiled softly and innocently: "Lead the way, two children who don't act like children."

Conan Edogawa secretly glanced at Haibara Ai, worried about how to explain it with a gun.

But Huiyuan Ai put away her gun and nodded as if nothing had happened: "I still remember the way, I will lead the way."

Then he walked to the front.

He: "Uh... that, Hane-ni-nii... Huibara..."

"I understand." Miyakawa Lingchong winked at him: "Everyone has secrets. I won't ask too many questions."

Yes, you won't ask.

They will just reveal everything quietly.

Edogawa Conan was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Brother Hane, why are you here?"

"Following you guys."

"???"

"You don't think that parents can rest assured that their children will run out in the middle of the night without sleeping, right?"

“…” No, that’s not the point to explain.

No...where should I start complaining!

Edogawa Conan gave up on himself: "Oh."

Anyway... this guy is someone the police trust, right?

He may have other identities, but in the end... he is Kazuki.

Not long after, the three returned to the ground along the same route.

"It was a man and a woman. The woman was standing to the side, so I couldn't see her face clearly. The man was about 40 years old, a local, with dark skin, a missing little finger on his left hand, and a knife on his body."

Conan Edogawa talked about the two people he met in the secret passage.

Huihara Ai added: "That man really had murderous intentions, even though he only saw two children."

Miyakawa Ling: "Yeah, I'm so sleepy."

He didn't seem to have the intention of interfering in other people's business. Edogawa Conan looked up and said, "Brother Hane, when you heard the warning sound on the boat, didn't you have any idea?"

Miyakawa Ling lowered his eyes lazily: "Are you saying that the sea god is dead?"

“…” The Poseidon Temple is right behind us!!

"There's something wrong with this... Rumor has it that many people were killed by Poseidon..."

"There are a lot of rumors. Play two more horror games and you will be honest."

“…”

Edogawa Conan moved his lips, and finally, he shut up and said nothing more.

"Hold my hand." Miyakawa Ling stretched out his hand.

The two kids looked at him.

Miyakawa Ling smiled: "Hmm?"

Still, they all followed suit.

"Why think so much? Just leave it to the adults."

They ran down the steps. The wind swept through the dark green bamboo forest, and the rustling sound covered the sound of their footsteps. The bright white light enveloped the entire road, like an eerie light shining on the face of a corpse.

"Do you think I would say that?" A gentle voice suddenly asked back.

"?" Edogawa Conan looked at him in confusion and surprise, but saw the young man just glanced over at him.

There was a tiny gleam of light in those eyes, as if there were a sky full of stars hidden in them.

“The truth is only in the hands of a few people. Knowing it may not be a good thing, but if you are ready, explore it boldly.”

The young man let go of his hand and pointed to the ground: "If you want to take this road, you have to get used to taking risks on your own."

Conan Edogawa looked down and recognized that this was the step where he had initially fallen.

"Go find the truth yourself, Conan."
