Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

"Conan..." With tears in Ayumi's eyes, the group walked slowly in the dark and deep cave.

Genta carried Conan, who looked weak, on his back, and every step seemed so heavy and difficult.

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta's faces were filled with self-blame and regret. If they had not been so insistent and insisted on entering the cave to explore, perhaps none of this would have happened.

However, reality gave them a ruthless blow.

Not long ago, they encountered three gangsters who were dealing with a corpse deep in the cave.

What's worse is that these criminals were holding pistols.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, although Conan led them to avoid the attack, unfortunately, he himself was shot in the abdomen by one of the gangsters and bled a lot.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said such stupid things like it would be fine if we just went in, which put everyone in such a dangerous situation." Ayumi rubbed her red and swollen eyes and said in a crying voice.

"No, you can't be blamed alone. I was the first one to discover this place and brought everyone here." Mitsuhiko also began to reflect on himself.

"And me, I was too reckless and actually ran into them dealing with the body..."

The three of them talked one after another, and each took the responsibility on themselves.

There was a look of deep reflection on their faces, as if at this moment, they finally understood their mistakes.

Conan heard this and said weakly, "You... fools, this... time, thanks to you, we have a chance to solve this... case that may never be discovered."

Although his voice was weak, it seemed to contain infinite power, like a shot of adrenaline that penetrated their hearts.

His words injected a bit of vitality into the originally dull team.

Seeing the expressions of self-blame on their faces gradually fade away, Conan breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"Okay... let's get rid of them and get out as soon as possible... call the police. Maybe... we can even taste delicious barbecue and curry."

With anticipation, the three of them quickened their pace and continued to walk towards the side of the cave.

Soon, they came to a fork in the road.

Faced with the two paths before them, the three little ones were confused for a moment and didn't know how to choose.

Just then, Conan, who was lying on Genta's back, whispered, "Give me your watch-shaped flashlight."

Genta handed the flashlight to Conan without any hesitation.

Thinking of the criminals chasing him closely, Conan already had an idea in his mind.

At the same time, on the other side, Yuichi Shiina also successfully found the cave that Conan and his friends entered, and the branches they picked up were still on the ground at the entrance of the cave.

Without any hesitation, Shiina Yuichi stepped into the pitch-black cave.

After entering the cave, Yuichi Shiina groped his way forward with the faint light of the flashlight.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed Dr. Agasa and Haibara Ai to call the police as soon as possible.

He went deep into the cave alone to look for the three missing little guys.

Although she knew that the other party might be holding dangerous weapons, Haibara Ai did not stop him out of trust in Shiina Yuichi's strength.

She just stared at Shiina Yuichi's back silently, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Before leaving, Haibara Ai repeatedly reminded Shiina Yuichi to be careful.

Yuichi Shiina said in a relaxed manner that he had not yet tasted the delicious curry she made, so he would definitely return safely.

However, the terrain of this stalactite cave is quite complicated, and the road ahead is interconnected, like a maze.

After walking for more than ten minutes, suddenly, a faint light caught his attention.

He walked closer with curiosity and found that it was a pair of shiny glasses.

It was the same pair that Conan usually wore.

Shiina Yuichi raised the flashlight and illuminated the surroundings.

With the dim light, he found a faint trace of blood behind a remote pile of rocks.

The bloodstain had not yet completely dried and still emitted a slight bloody smell.

This means that Conan and the others had been here not long ago.

Now, there was no sign of them around, and the only explanation was that the gunmen were chasing them.

Thinking of this, Shiina Yuichi's mood became heavier.

He is not afraid that Conan will die, after all, he has the halo of the protagonist.

But Conan's father has paid the money, so he still has to contribute.

Although Yuichi Shiina and Conan dislike each other on a daily basis, when the critical moment comes, he still cannot ignore Conan's crisis.

Shiina Yuichi took a deep breath, and his eyes became unusually deep.

He looked around carefully, not missing any details.

Next to a passage, he saw a male corpse, which had been shot between the eyebrows and looked like it had been dead for some time.

Shiina Yuichi thought to himself, "This should be the corpse that Conan mentioned."

He began to simulate the scene at that time, and a picture gradually emerged in his mind: the criminals were busy moving the bodies, and suddenly they discovered Conan and several others.

So, they fired several shots at Conan and others without hesitation.

In order to confirm whether they had hit the target, the criminals decided to go and check the situation.

They walked to where Conan and the others were originally, but did not see them.

However, the bloodstains on the ground attracted the attention of the criminals, and they followed the bloodstains all the way.

Yuichi Shiina quickly organized the information in his mind, then simply identified the direction and walked forward along one of the passages.

His steps were firm and steady, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

On the other side, Conan and his friends have arrived at a place with a secret river in the cave.

"There's a fish." Mitsuhiko suddenly shouted.

Conan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "See...see what kind of fish it is, whether it has...eyes."

Mitsuhiko nodded and shone the flashlight into the river. It was a catfish, and it had eyes.

"What? Do you want to eat catfish?" Genta asked Conan on his back.

Hearing this, even though Conan felt extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What time is it and you're still thinking about eating.

"In such a dark cave, the fish's eyes haven't degenerated, which means it is very likely that it swam in from somewhere."

"So... as long as we can go upstream..."

Conan's words were intermittent, but the three little ones understood what he meant.

"We can escape!" the three little ones said in unison, with excitement on their faces.

At the same time, Yuichi Shiina has also reached the fork in the road.

Before he could make a decision, he suddenly heard footsteps and voices coming from the passage on the left.

Shiina Yuichi silently turned off the flashlight and quietly stuck behind a stone wall.

Those voices were not Conan and the others'.

If there was no fourth group of people in this cave, the result would be obvious.

He ran into the gangsters.
