Chapter 163 Who Should I Give Coffee to?
Finally, a case was solved without any spoilers... Conan took the flashlight from Jiang Xia, feeling a little complicated.
The other two people failed to notice the excitement hidden beneath the pseudo-child's calm exterior.
They nodded and walked to the east according to Rokuda Masaji's instructions, preparing to search the rooms one by one to find the missing Yotsuga Reika.
Although Jiang Xia cannot come, with Xiaolan here, there is no need to worry about criminals.
On the contrary, it is Jiang Xia's side...
"Mrs. Mi, if you encounter anyone suspicious, be sure to shout immediately." Mao Lilan bent down and discussed with the short old woman, "We will be back immediately!"
"Don't worry." Granny Mi nodded.
…
Ten minutes later.
Suzuki Sonoko and Conan were following behind Mouri Ran, searching intently.
At this moment, the overhead light suddenly went out and the room fell into darkness.
——There is a power outage in the villa.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled and hugged Mao Lilan next to her: "What's going on? What's going on?!"
Conan reached out and turned on the desk lamp, but the lamp did not respond at all.
"The power should have tripped in the villa." Conan turned on the old flashlight. "I remember the switch was right next to the stairs, not far from here. Let's go and take a look."
…
The three people followed the faint light and ran quickly towards the direction of the switch.
When I was almost there, I suddenly heard a creaking sound - the window next to the switch was pushed open from the inside, as if someone pushed the window open and ran out from the corridor into the woods.
Immediately afterwards, Rokuda Masashi clicked on the power switch, and the villa was instantly powered up, and the corridor became bright again.
Mao Lilan squinted her eyes and adjusted to the light.
Looking up, I saw four other people gathered next to the switch - the others had noticed the power outage and had immediately run to the switch.
The group of people looked at each other in confusion, and suddenly discovered that a nearby window was wide open.
Almost at the same time, Yizhi Long seemed to have seen something and exclaimed, "There is someone in the woods!"
"It must be that murderer!" The irritable Mifune Takuya snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves, stepped on the windowsill and rushed into the forest, "Asshole, don't even think about running away!"
Mao Lilan was stunned, but when she saw that someone was going to be caught, she immediately followed instinctively.
Others also rushed out - as long as they caught the guy hiding in the dark, this terrifying night would be over!
…
The whole group of people immediately disappeared into the woods.
There were dense trees around and it was dark, so the group of people quickly dispersed into several small groups.
After running for a while, Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan could no longer see anyone around.
The three of them stopped aimlessly and suddenly realized something.
Suzuki Sonoko slowly turned her head and looked at Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, do you still remember the way back?"
Mao Lilan: “…”
...No, I don’t remember.
"Really? You dare to run around without remembering the way... The forest at night is very dangerous."
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind, with a hint of condemnation.
The three high school students were startled, and turned around suddenly, and saw Granny Mi running out of breath.
The old woman straightened up, looking at them with a kind look that said, "No need to thank me," and said, "I found that the power was out, so I went to check next to the switch. When I was almost there, I saw you all rushing out... I knew you would get lost - those reckless children didn't remember to take care of you."
"Thanks……"
The three high school students thanked him hesitantly and suddenly realized something was wrong.
——Grandma Mi is gone, they are all in the woods. Then...
...What should Jiang Xia do when he is left alone? !
