Chapter 1396 1404 [Luckily you didn't sit here]
"Scott was trying hard to find me when she heard a cell phone ring from the other side of the warehouse. She followed the sound and came over, but I had already moved." Jiang Xia simulated what happened in his mind and felt that it was very reasonable. "She couldn't find me for a while, and then realized that she forgot to take the phone away. I could send the location here to the police, so she hurriedly activated the backup plan, blew up the garage and ran away... Yes, that's it."
He followed the script, waited enough time, and sent the situation over using appropriate words, seemingly casually describing the dangerous process of his battle of wits and courage with the gunman, and then reminded them to stop Scott's car.
…
In the distance, the sender soon received a reply.
When Conan saw the message sent by Jiang Xia, he was stunned. He didn't expect that he could actually get in touch with this friend who was abducted by the thief.
He quickly clicked through the page and read it, then ignored the first half and muttered the information he thought was useful: "'But she just drove away in a truck. I'm worried that she's going to move the stolen goods. Ask the police to stop her. The license plate was blocked just now, so I couldn't see it clearly. The color of the vehicle is a faded blue. Also, be careful of the gun in her hand'...Scooping really discovered our pursuit!"
Suzuki Sonoko's focus was clearly biased. She came over to take a look at the message and said, "Let's put the matter of stopping Shi Kaobing aside for now. If something is lost, it can be found again. Besides, it's a matter for the international police. We should go to the garage to look for someone first."
"It's okay. There are enough police forces. I can do at least ten policemen. They go and intercept, and I'll go and rescue people." "Inspector Shiratori" felt that the problem was not big. "Abandoned buildings and underground garages... I remember we passed by such a place just now. I'll go over and take a look. You stay with the other policemen and be careful to hide. Scoobing has a strong sense of revenge. She wanted to shoot you underground just now. If you meet her again when she is escaping, she might shoot you again. Be sure to hide well."
Conan suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly: "Wait, since we have discovered our base, when she was escaping, maybe..."
Remembering that Shi Kaobing had already left, he called Jiang Xia: "Get out of there quickly! There must be a lot of useful traces left in the base. She may activate the timing device and destroy the base after she escapes!"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and the air seemed a little heavy.
Then, like a taciturn tragic figure who only speaks a few words to elevate the tone, he sighed and said, "I understand. I'll find a chance to leave, and you guys stay away."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"…What do you mean you'll find a chance to get out? Shouldn't you run away immediately?"
"Inspector Shiratori" felt something was wrong, and soon, he suddenly felt that he understood something: "It must be that Scott locked the exit, just like she deliberately blew up the underground passage before! Jiang Xia can't find a way to leave for the time being, and she is worried that she has activated the device to destroy the underground garage. She doesn't want us to be in danger, so..."
As he was talking, Kidd couldn't help but be silent for a moment: Jiang Xia is the kind of person who would rather be buried than say a word, for fear of dragging down his friends?
...I always feel that it doesn't match the impression he usually gives people.
Kidd: "..." But I can't always look at people with tinted glasses - how can I think that Jiang Xia is a scheming bad guy just because he knows monsters? I also know monsters, so I am a good person, although "Kid" is currently being wanted by police in various countries... Well, anyway, this is not the point. The point is to quickly get the person out. After all, they know each other and Jiang Xia has helped him a little.
Also, speaking of monsters...
Kidd suddenly had a guess: maybe Mist Tengu or Jiang Xia's other monster friends have already met him in the underground garage. Jiang Xia said that on the phone just now, because he was worried that the monster would be seen by others?
Thinking of this, Kidd couldn't sit still any longer: "I'll go find him, you guys stay here and be careful of passing trucks."
As he said this, he ran to the base of the Scoobing alone: If there is no monster, then he can save people. If there is... then it is also a good opportunity to save people - to prevent innocent passers-by from seeing too many and being killed.
After all, although Mist Tengu has a good temper, the mermaid is really scary, and there is also the leopard that wanted to bite him as soon as they met... By analogy, there may be other more ferocious guys around Jiang Xia, so he must be careful.
…
For a thief who is good at running away, the distance of a street is not far.
Soon, Kidd arrived near the underground garage.
He took a look at the gate with a complicated system, thought for a moment, and went around to the side, intending to pry open the light well - this seemed to be a temporary escape passage set up by the Sikao soldiers. Upon closer inspection, it was easier to pry open than the gate.
Kidd came to the window, squatted down, and took out his tools.
Just as he was about to reach into the keyhole, a figure suddenly appeared on the ground next to him.
——I didn’t know when there was a person behind me.
"Inspector Shiratori" turned around suddenly and was startled when he saw the person behind him. He instinctively hid the lock picking tools: "Qing..."
After a pause, he silently swallowed the rest of the words.
The person who came was not his neighbor Aoko Nakamori, but Ran Mouri - the two people really looked somewhat similar. Fortunately, Ran Mouri had an extra horn in her hair, so she could be distinguished even against the light.
"What are you doing here?" "Inspector Shiratori" took out the lock picking tools and calmed down again, "Stay away, this place may collapse soon."
Mao Lilan took a look at his progress in picking the lock, squatted down and touched the explosion-proof glass: "Is Jiang Xia in here?"
"Inspector Shiratori" nodded: "Don't worry, I will be able to pry it open soon..."
"Please move aside."
A hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder, picked him up and threw him aside.
"Inspector Shiratori" was caught off guard and turned around twice before he held onto a nearby electric pole and staggered to steady himself.
He turned around in shock, just in time to see Mao Lilan flying up. With a soft shout of "Hah!", the weak and sweet girl jumped up, grabbed the baffle on the wall, flipped over and landed heavily on the ground, and her heel stepped on the explosion-proof glass of the light well.
The heel of the shoe cracked and the next moment, the window shattered, and Mao Lilan fell into the underground garage along with the broken glass.
The height of several meters was not a big deal to her. Mao Lilan rolled on the ground and stood up again after absorbing the pressure. She looked up and saw Jiang Xia sitting under the light well opposite. Hearing the noise, he turned his head and looked over here, slightly stunned.
