Chapter 163 - The Siege
When Sawaki returns to the main dining room, Minoru Nishina is holding an envelope. "Mr. Sawaki, Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi's letter to you!"
"Mr. Asahi's letter?" With a surprised expression, Sawaki took the envelope, took out the letter and read it.
"Mr. Fair Sawaki, I can't come back for a while because of some business, can you go to the M-18 counter in the cellar and pick up your favorite wine?" Then you can also bring some wine for other people, with the key in the envelope. Help me entertain everyone. ”
Sawaki dug into the envelope, and sure enough, he took out a key.
“?” Conan and Chiba, who were holding juice and mineral water, had just returned, only to see Fair Sawaki reading the letter.
"Uncle Sawaki, I don't think something is quite right," Conan said as he put the juice on the table with a frown. "Let's go with you! We know where the cellar is."
"Just tell me the location! You stay here! Mori Kogoro said solemnly. I'll just go with Mr. Sawaki. ”
"Father," Maolilan said suddenly. "Let them come with you!"
“。。。” Mori Kogoro was surprised for a moment and then acquiesced to Moriran's request. "Okay, you two boys, walk ahead of me and look behind me."
"Shall we all go, then?" Shindo Eimei proposed. "If we go together, Murakami's abbot will definitely have no way to attack us."
。。。
The group was led by Conan and Chiba to the cellar. Fair Sawaki inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door.
A cold air rushed into the face.
"It's so cold in here... Maolilan shuddered and walked into the cellar.
“。。。” Sawaki frowned, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. "Maybe it's cold for humans, but it's too hot for these delicate wines!"
With that, Sawaki began to look around for the thermometer, and his dissatisfaction was even worse after being met with the thermometer.
"Wine should be stored at between 10 and 14 degrees Celsius, but you see, the temperature here is as high as 17 degrees Celsius!"
"Mr. Sawaki really loves wine!" Mao Lilan sighed.
"Lan, put it on, it might be a little cold here." Mori Kogoro took off his coat and tried to hand it to Moriran, but was rejected by Moriran.
“。。。” Seeing this, Officer Twilight sighed, took off his clothes, and handed them to Xiaolan. "Lan, you better put it on."
This time, Maoliran did not refuse.
“。。。” Mori Kogoro's eyes showed sadness.
“M18。。。” Fair Sawaki muttered as he searched. "Ah, here it is!"
Chiba and Conan were originally following him, but Chiba, who was a little slower, suddenly saw something bad.
"Uncle, get out of the way!" Qianyu shouted.
“???” Sawaki was shocked and quickly hid aside.
"What's wrong?" After everyone heard Qianyu's warning, they hurriedly ran over.
"Stay away from the middle line of this M18 corridor!" Qianyu said solemnly.
After taking a closer look, Chiba reached into the middle of a pile of beer bottles. Then, with his left hand, he opened the beer bottles one by one and showed everyone what he was holding with his right hand.
A crossbow glowing with cold light appeared in front of everyone, and Chiba's fingers were just caught in the trigger of the crossbow arrow, holding it in place so that it could not be fired.
"Crossbow bolts?" The crowd was amazed.
"There's a line on the ballista, I guess..." Chiba watched carefully, and pointed in one direction. "Look."
Under Qianyu's instructions, everyone saw a thin line running across the corridor of M18.
"This line goes up to the ceiling, and then all the way to here... Qianyu said solemnly. "Maybe Mr. Asahi Katsuyoshi plans to discuss things with his uncles and sisters, but I'm afraid Murakami has already taken the lead. The agency was clearly planning to use the letter to lure Mr. Sawaki to come and kill him. ”
"Shall we retreat first?" Mori Kogoro said solemnly.
"Let's go back first!" Officer Twilight made a quick decision. "It can be dangerous here!"
However, when everyone returned to the main dining room, they found that the passage they had come from before had disappeared, and only a wall remained!
"What's going on?" Nana Koyamauchi was surprised. "Why did the passage disappear?"
"It's not so much gone," Conan said as he came to the place where the passage had been, knocking on the wall. "It's better that this wall has fallen and blocked the passage."
"So what are we going to do?" Maoliran asked. When he asked this, he looked at Conan.
Qianyu suddenly looked at this disobedient move, and suddenly reacted. "!!"
How could Maoliland ask Conan questions? Now there is not only his father Mori Kogoro, but also her boyfriend, Detective Shinichi Kudo. Why did she ask Conan this question? Even if she didn't want to ask Mori Kogoro because of the historical issue of shooting Concubine Eiri, she didn't ask Kudo Shinichi why?
The only explanation is that she has concerns about this Kudo Shinichi!
If you consider the fact that Shinichi Kudo was able to drive a sports car before... No matter how knowledgeable a high school detective is, he won't be able to get a driver's license, let alone have enough skills to drive a high-speed sports car like Diablo around the city!
This person... Not the real Shinichi Kudo? Maolilan could even feel this imposter's anomaly in such a brief daily contact, which was the only reason that could explain Maolilan's abnormal behavior!
"Ah!!h Nana Koyamauchi suddenly pointed to the side and let out an exclamation that made everyone look awkward. When they looked in the direction that Nana Koyamauchi was pointing, their faces became even more embarrassed.
Asahi Shengyi actually appeared ghostly outside the glass of the restaurant! And this ghost is obviously not an adjective, because he doesn't look like a living person no matter how he looks at it! What living person would be like him and appear at a depth of twenty or thirty meters without wearing any equipment, still motionless?
The water flowed through Asahi Katsuyoshi and drew a light red ribbon.
"Oh my God," Qian Yu muttered.
Everyone else had shocked or frightened expressions on their faces.
。。。
"What are we going to do now?" Nana Koyamauchi said angrily. "All of this is done by you, a detective, how are you responsible?"
"Childish!" At this moment, Qianyu's crisp voice reached everyone's ears.
"What did you say?" Nana Koyamauchi was slightly stunned and then furious.
"Murakami obviously has thoughts about some of you," Chiwa said. "You can take a look at the list of people he has attacked, and he has killed both Asahi Katsuyoshi and Hiroki Tsuji, but the attacks on the first three are very light."
"So it's clear that both Mr. Asahi and Mr. Tsuji have done something very excessive, and Mr. Sawaki is just innocently implicated." Chiba continued. "So, before you complain, please do three things. If you think it's because of Mr. Kogoro Mori that you were implicated, do you think your relationship with Mr. Mori is that good? I'm afraid that even if you are killed, it will not affect Mori Kogoro in the slightest. ”
