Chapter 2270 2282 [Good Man]
The middle-aged man said calmly: "The flashlight was flickering wildly just now. Even if it stayed on our faces for a short time, it would be difficult for them to remember our appearance. As long as we are not caught on the spot, we will have enough time to leave!"
After a brief period of chaos, the three people finally reached a consensus.
They looked at each other with unprecedented unity, nodded heavily, and then turned on their flashlights and searched towards the darkness ahead.
…
"what to do?"
Deep inside the cave, three children huddled together, trembling. “The exit seems to be on their side. Are we going to be stuck here?”
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down like a detective: "Don't panic, let's contact Brother Jiang Xia first."
As he spoke, he calmly took out his cell phone.
…Then he looked at the blank signal in the upper right corner and fell silent.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "..."
At such a critical moment, why is there no signal!!!
Yoshida Ayumi and Kojima Genta looked at his face and had a bad feeling: "...What's wrong?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya learned the way of thinking from adults: "How about... writing a suicide note? Or writing down who the murderer is in blood? Oh, right! We need to make a code, otherwise if the murderer knows we are identifying him, he will erase the clues, and then we will have died in vain!"
Kojima Genta looked like he was about to cry: "I, I can't make up a password."
Yoshida Ayumi also pursed her lips, and tears began to fill her big eyes: "I don't want to die yet."
Kojima Yuanta scratched his head and said, "How about this? I'll go back and tell those people that we didn't even see their faces. That way they won't have a reason to kill us!"
Vodka, who was eavesdropping, came nearby: "..."
It seems that not all the kids around Usa are smart - compared to these three fools, that Edogawa Conan is really one in a hundred. No wonder Usa is quite tolerant of this kid.
Vodka: “…” But strictly speaking, that guy named Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya seems to have been influenced by Uzo, and he actually knows to leave a death message before dying... I have to be more vigilant against this guy in the future.
As he thought about it, Vodka moved closer.
After that, he thought about it and did not show up. Instead, he tried his best to use his most gentle voice and whispered hello: "Hello, I'm a fan of Jiang Xia! Are you the three who appeared on TV with Jiang Xia... uh, the Junior Detective Team?"
The three children were startled by the sudden voice. They wanted to scream, but at the same time they were attracted by the content of the words.
——Although they were usually a little afraid of Jiang Xia, at this time, the three of them wished that Jiang Xia would appear in front of them immediately, then swing the baton of justice and beat down all the scary gunmen one by one.
Therefore, when they heard that the unknown creature in the darkness was a fan of Jiang Xia, the three children instinctively felt a sense of closeness and a desire to curry favor with him - after all, judging from the voice, the guy who was speaking was an adult, and in this terrifying environment where one could die at any time, adults seemed to be much more reliable than children.
In addition, the phrase "the young detective team that appeared on TV" also made them feel proud, and they felt that the guy who spoke nicely was very much like one of their own.
Genta Kojima and Ayumi Yoshida couldn't help but want to go over and take refuge.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was still somewhat alert. He stopped two classmates and asked, "Uncle, why are you in the cave?"
Vodka: “…” Haha, you are still too naive. Even if you really have doubts about me at this time, you should pretend that you didn’t notice anything - otherwise, if I was really a bad guy, I would smile sinisterly and say something like “Because my uncle is busy silencing people”.
Thinking of this, Vodka was suddenly moved by this line and almost wanted to say it out loud.
However, the moment the impulse arose, he suppressed it firmly: No, think about my anti-Uzo code!
Without even thinking about it, he could think of countless possible developments - for example, the children screamed in fear, causing the gang of gangsters who "happened" to be nearby to panic and fire at this side, and then "happened" that a bullet landed on him, and he died heroically.
For example, these children were "lucky" enough to pick up an unattended gun. After being frightened, they screamed and shot at him, but one of the bullets hit him, so he died heroically. In this case, these children, who were only 7 years old, would probably not only not have to go to jail, but would also be praised by some people for their clever and effective self-defense.
Vodka: “…”
Vodka shook his head vigorously, shaking off all the bad developments and his previous thoughts.
He took a deep breath, was forced to stop entertaining himself, and said in an honest tone: "I am a traveler who likes self-driving tours. I accidentally saw this cave and wanted to come in to look for treasure, but who knew I would encounter such a terrible thing."
The three children listened and couldn't help but nod in agreement: "Us too!"
After a pause, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "..." Wait, it seems that they came in just to follow Conan, and looking for the treasure was just a by-product... well, by the way.
Now, with the excitement of finding the treasure gone along with the fear of stumbling upon a burial site, their original goal emerged: Where was Conan? Hadn't he already gone into the cave?
...Could it be that he has been killed and is one of the unlucky guys that the gang of criminals planned to bury?
The three children looked at each other.
At the corner, Vodka listened to the tone of their response and secretly felt that the time was ripe.
He adjusted his facial expression, and walked out with a gentle smile.
Then he was faced with three terrified faces.
"Conan..." Yoshida Ayumi stared at Vodka's hand and the person he was holding, grief and fear mixed together, "You killed Conan?!"
Vodka: "..." Don't talk nonsense! I didn't! What are you doing! !
As he listened to the little girl's screams, he almost wanted to go up and cover her mouth to stop her screaming, as it would attract the three gunmen.
But with Wuzo in the shadows behind them, the ruthless organization cadres could only suppress the veins on their foreheads and force out more smiles at these three annoying naughty kids.
Vodka changed from carrying to hugging, picked up the annoying little devil in his hand and handed it to them: "He is still alive, just fainted."
After a pause, he added: "I saved him!"
"...Really? Is it true?" The three innocent and kind-hearted children hesitated for a moment, and when they saw that Vodka had no intention of attacking, they finally surrounded Conan and looked at him.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, you are such a selfless and kind person!"
Vodka: “…”
