Chapter 8 - The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows
"Yuantai, they're not going to make any moths, are they?" Holding a basketball and climbing the barbed wire fence to half a height, Chiba suddenly said to Conan. "I suddenly felt a little unsafe to leave them there."
"Then you can only leave it to fate, who told you to come with you. If you don't follow them, but look at them, they shouldn't have any problems. Conan said, having climbed to the top of the barbed wire. Rest assured, the robbers are unlikely to be there, there is no looting value for them. ”
"You-" Chiba was halfway through her words when a strange voice suddenly sounded in her ears. A loud and rhythmic roaring melody – it's a car engine!
"The car is coming!" Conan hurriedly looked at it, and then said to Qian Yu in surprise. "Hurry up and throw the ball!"
Torajiro was heartbroken when he saw a ball pass through the limited field of view of the front windshield of his car, making a popping sound that hit the ground. In particular, the thing seemed to bounce a few meters high, bouncing around and moving to the right side of the car.
"What's that?" Torajiro braked the car, kept the lights on, and got out of the car, only to see a basketball lying on the road.
"The basketball was right in front of me when it first appeared, but it was parked on the right side of the car, so that means the basketball is coming from the left?" Torajiro looked around and pondered suspiciously. "What are you kidding? On the left is the closed department store, where did this basketball come from??? But it can't be from the right... Here's a closed office building on the right! ”
Wait a minute, there seems to be a TV in the street container of a department store... There won't be... There is Sadako!!
"Help!" The explosive voice of a child came into Torajiro's ears from above, almost bringing to a halt the fragile heart of Torajiro, who was thinking wildly and was infinitely close to his own frightened heart.
"The sound is coming from... Heavenly??? Torajiro looked up and saw a beam of light coming down from the roof of the department store. What's going on? He couldn't help muttering to himself.
"There are robbers in the building, please help us! Call the police! The words of the child above conveyed a terrible message.
"What!" Torajiro was taken aback. "Robbery... Bandit!!!??? ”
These little children have encountered robbers??? It is said that there is indeed a department store looting syndicate recently, is it really in this building? Anyway, even if there are no robbers here, they are still locked up in the building, and the police will not accuse themselves too much.
"Do you think he's going to call the police?" Qian Yu looked at the car that had started in a hurry and fled, and asked.
"It's not a small odds, but it's not a big one, but there's hope. Then again, I didn't expect you to be so unconfident in your own proposal? ”
"Like you said, it's just a matter of chance," Qian Yu glanced at him and began to climb back to the ground at the top of the building. "At such a time of crisis, you can't gain or lose at once?"
"Anyway, according to my original plan, I was going to have a direct showdown with the robbers, and it made no difference whether you attracted it or was provoked by me." Conan spreads his hands. "Let's go downstairs first, if they come up, they will be blocked here and passive."
"Prepare for the worst, though, in case he doesn't call the police, our cries for help will attract the robbers." Chiba returned to the stairwell and whispered. "It would be even worse if we were stuck on the stairs =_="
"Come on, come on, if we really come, we only need to face the two people on the sixth floor first, and then we can fight guerrilla warfare with the rest of the people unscrupulously. Speaking of which, Qianyu, why do you keep holding your umbrella? Is this a weapon you're going to use against them? ”
"It was given to me by my father's family friend, and it was an umbrella." Chiba spun around his umbrella. "If you can use it, you'll know what I mean."
"Trap umbrella? Organ? Conan said it twice. With an umbrella of the mechanism? Then I'd love to see it. ”
"You'd better not see it, because if you do, it means we're in big trouble." Thousand Feathers shrugged.
Just as the two of them were communicating softly and walking to the staircase on the seventh floor, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the stairs below, and the density of the footsteps should have been made by two people, so it meant that the two robbers were walking the stairs, and judging from the light footsteps, they should be going upstairs. (When you go downstairs, your footsteps will sound heavier than when you go upstairs because they hit the ground.) )
Conan's reaction was slightly faster than Chiha's, and before Chiba could react, he dragged him into the hall on the seventh floor.
The seventh floor looks like a furniture area, full of wooden furniture full of quaint atmosphere. This kind of place is indeed a good place for Tibetans.
Conan pulled Qian Yu and ran directly to the left and ran into a road that was relatively close to the entrance, and when he reached the corner, he entered the visual blind spot of the two robbers who could appear at the entrance at any time.
"Can you do a vote?" Chiba reached into the folded umbrella. "2 to 2 is not impossible to fight."
"If we can't get it in one hit, then any of them will be enough for us to drink a pot." Conan looked at the surroundings beside him. "Let them start stealing first, and then deal with them one by one when they are not concentrating."
"Da, da." Footsteps appeared at the entrance, and they actually walked directly in the direction of Qian Yu and the others!
"Hide first!" Chiba immediately curled up in the corner where she walked, and used the cover of darkness to avoid the sight of the robbers.
The sound of footsteps is getting closer and closer. Conan placed his hand on his watch, and Chiba held the Traceless Umbrella in a stick-holding position.
Suddenly, the sound of electricity sounded.
“?” Chiba and Conan were both stunned.
Before they could react, everything that was originally slightly favored by the moonlight was fully taken over by the light.
"Little ghost!" Just when the brains of Qianyu and the others were still frozen, the two robbers remembered the sound of the walkie-talkie. "There's a little ghost head in the building!"
Neither robber answered the words of his accomplices, for the simple reason that he did.
In front of them, the curled thousand feathers and the stunned Conan were within reach. Thanks to this quasi-"loot" that seemed to be able to be captured, the two robbers were also knocked unconscious by the pie that fell from the sky.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
"Run!" A loud roar from Chiba tore through the dead silence.
It feels terrible! He thought to himself as Thousand Feathers got up on his hands and feet and fled frantically. It's almost like that proverb.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
However, if you really think about it, you will find something even more terrifying.
If you think about how the other two robbers found out that there were children...
What else is possible other than that they captured Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota?
