Chapter 131 - Airborne, Hot Springs

"This plank is rotten to a certain extent... After Conan led everyone to stand on the plank, he couldn't help but complain. "How the hell is this rotten ... Oh yes, if that's what I thought, then it's really nothing surprising ... ”

“。。。” Ash Yuan Ai stood beside him, but he couldn't understand a word.

This guy can't understand a word of what he said just now... What does that mean exactly?

"Everyone, come up, all of you, and let the two gentlemen continue to stand there motionless." Conan suddenly spoke in a loud voice, his voice so loud that it continued to echo throughout the space.

"What are you doing?" A slightly suspicious look appeared on Kimura's face.

"Nothing," Conan said equally loudly. "I need to check if the mechanism is stuck, so please don't shine your flashlights on that wall tile, and shine the light of one of the flashlights on us!"

"Got it! You're noisy! Tanaka roared back with even more power. We're shining a flashlight on that wall tile now, and another flashlight is shining on you! ”

It was as if the flashlight had been strengthened with Tanaka's roar, and the moonlight was still shining in the place where the flashlight did not shine, but at this time, it seemed to have disappeared half under the background, and it was completely pitch black.

"Shhh

"The trap has been triggered!" Tanaka was talking excitedly, but his body suddenly bent down. "Ahh

"Tanaka?" Kimura was horrified. "What's wrong?"

The real sound of the mechanism sounded, followed by Kimura's screams and the sound of running in the darkness. Finally, there is the voice that Conan is all familiar with.

"Shoot me," Chiba emerged from the shadows. "I'll give it back to you here."

"Thousand feathers!" Except for Conan, Tadao and the others were extremely surprised. "How are you..."

As for Conan, he took the flashlight from Tadao with a knowing expression, turned it on, and aimed it at Kimura and Tanaka - the flashlight in Tadao's hand was turned off before because Conan turned off the switch.

"Don't move!" Instead of answering their questions, Chiba used the flashlight in Conan's hand to gain insight into Kimura and Tanaka's intention to fight back with guns. "It's now within the realm of justifiable defense! It doesn't matter if I kill you! As a friendly reminder, the mechanism inside my umbrella is an arrow box. ”

"Cut!" Kimura looks at Chiba in annoyance, but in the end, he can only throw the shotgun at Conan and them after an angry "snort".

"Big brother?" Tanaka was shocked. "Big brother, you..."

"It's no fun, so be it..." Kimura said helplessly. "Hit-and-run serious injuries, kidnapping children, these crimes are like years in prison, but... Kimura pointed to his abdomen with his right hand, which threw his shotgun.

The arrowhead was completely buried in the flesh, and blood was pouring out.

"It's going to kill you... Kimura sighed.

"Damn!" Tanaka glanced at his own arm, which was also bleeding, and threw the shotgun out with his other hand, roaring angrily.

"Let's not talk about that," Tadao had been staring at Chiba in a daze, and finally had a chance to speak. "Chiba, how the hell did you get in? Did they come in after us? But we didn't find you ... ”

"Did you notice," Chiba replied as she aimed at Kimura and Tanaka. "There's a hole in the top of the space here?"

"Holes? Did you jump in from above? Tadao said incredulously. But no matter how far down the ground is this hole, it is estimated that it is at least fifteen meters, right? You are... ”

"There is a rope in the mechanism of my umbrella, and one end of the rope is tied to a steel ladder at the edge of the hot spring, and I quickly descended through the rope."

"When is it?" Kimura's mood at this time had recovered from the chagrin of being about to be arrested, and he just asked. "If you come down from there, we should be able to find out..."

"I just landed on the ground 5 seconds before I attacked you... Qian Yu pursed his lips. "As to why you didn't find me, you should ask Conan, and if he hadn't given me information that neither of you flashlights was shining on my side, I wouldn't have dared to come down. Then again... Conan, how did you find me? ”

"Before, you were lying at the entrance of the cave and looking at us, didn't you?" Conan said with a smile. "At that time, you blocked the path of the moonlight, so there was a brief darkness in the space. (129:11) I guess those two noticed this, but they probably thought it was just the moon being blocked by clouds. However, if it was only the moon blocked by clouds, it would never be so dark in the space, and it would only be so dark if the entrance to the cave was blocked. ”

"Uhhh Qianyu looked embarrassed. "At that time, I heard the previous gunshot, so I went to the cave, and it turned out that it was very dark inside, so I put the infrared camera in my backpack and wanted to take a picture to see what was going on. As a result, I don't know if there is something wrong with the clothes on the two of them, the thermal imaging camera can capture all of you, but it can't catch the thermal imaging of the two of them. But now, I understand what is going on ... ”

Under the light of the flashlight in Conan's hand, Kimura and Tanaka, who originally looked like they were just wearing hooded jackets, actually had a plastic cover in front of their faces. "Qianyu, do you mean this layer of plastic film attached to their jackets? I guess it's a special paint that keeps out the heat and doesn't get caught by the thermal imaging camera. As for the clothes themselves, they are just ordinary heat-insulated jackets. ”

"Mr. Luck this year (originally used by Chef Silver in Treasure Island to describe his pirate teammates, and here it is a perfect metaphor for these treasure hunters who gamble on their luck) actually has such professional equipment... Qian Yu smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Of course, at that time, I only suspected that there were people up there, but after I learned another piece of information, I suspected that Thousand Feathers and them were above us."

"Wait a minute," Ayumi came out of hiding when Chiba had succeeded in the attack before, and only then came to the side of a few people. "Chiba-kun said just now that he tied the other end of the rope to the steel ladder of the hot spring? Plus what you said ... Is it above us that ... ”

"Yes, above us, there is a hot spring that was once extremely active." Conan nodded.
