Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

"It's strange, why hasn't the elevator come down yet?" Mao Lilan held Xingchen and waited for the elevator door to open, but the elevator door did not open for a long time.

"Hmm~uh." Xingchen curled up in Mao Lilan's arms.

Fragments of memory flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

Each fragment is the color of the deep ocean.

Inky black, he was like garbage in the deep sea, drifting with the waves.

Until he opened his eyes and found himself on the beach.

Seeing that the elevator didn't come, there was no way out, so Mao Li Ran could only carry Xingchen to find Mao Li Kogoro and the others.

Inside, they already knew which numbers corresponded to the people present.

Conan also learned the name of Shiratori Jinzaburo.

And just in case, Inspector Megure asked what their relationship was with Murakami Takeshi.

Among them, Nana Oyama and Peter Ford vetoed it from the beginning and it had nothing to do with him.

Shishido Nagaaki said that he had taken photos of him, but there was no conflict.

Before becoming a writer, Minoru Nishina was a field reporter and had interviewed Takeshi Murakami.

Then Nana Koyama hesitated for a while, and then said that it had nothing to do with her.

Conan always felt that there was something she hadn't said.

Click, the sound of the door opening.

Everyone looked back and saw Mao Lilan running in hurriedly holding Xingchen.

"Lan, why didn't you go back?" Kogoro Mouri stood up and asked puzzledly.

"The elevator isn't coming down yet, and I don't know what to do." Mao Lilan said worriedly.

"Really? I'll go take a look."

Shiratori Renzaburo took the initiative to go there. He came to the door and pressed the switch.

The door did not respond.

"That's strange. It was open when I just came in." Mao Lilan looked at the door in confusion. She had just come in through this door.

How come it can't be opened?

"Could it be that Mr. Murakami was behind this?" Peter Ford thought.

"It is very likely that this door has been set up as a one-way door. You can only enter, not exit." Shiratori Renzaburo guessed.

"What's going on?!" Shishido Nagaaki also came over and asked puzzledly.

Conan thought, are they really going to catch them all in one fell swoop?

"There should be an emergency exit here." Kogoro Mouri remembered that he had seen an emergency exit when he checked before.

The group hurried to the kitchen and walked to the door with the word emergency exit written on it.

When Kogoro Mouri pushed the door, he felt resistance after only opening a crack, so he quickly picked up the flashlight and shone it into the crack.

"It's urgently blocked by cement." Kogoro Mouri said in surprise with his eyes wide open.

"What!" the others who followed exclaimed.

"What? The emergency exit was sealed with cement!" Mao Li Ran heard Mao Li Kogoro say while holding Xingchen.

"It seems that Murakami-jo doesn't want us to leave here." Shiratori Renzaburo guessed.

"How could this happen?" Nana Koyama said in disbelief.

"Cough cough cough~!" Suddenly, Xingchen, who was in Mao Lilan's arms, coughed a few times.

Mao Lilan looked down and saw Xingchen slowly opening his eyes.

"Ah."

"Xiaochen, you're awake." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

"That's where I am." Xingchen murmured, looking at the kitchen ceiling. He seemed to be still inside.

"We are still inside the Ocean Restaurant. When you go out later, try not to look around." Shiratori Renzaburo said as he stood by.

Looks like he woke up so quickly.

His fear of the deep sea is not too serious, perhaps it is just a temporary stimulation.

"Sister Xiaolan, please put me down. I'm fine. I just remembered some things from the past." Xingchen said weakly. He had already figured out what had happened to him.

"Are you really okay? Don't be so stubborn." Mao Lilan hesitated for a while, squatted down and put Xingchen down and said.

"Yeah." Although Xingchen's face was a little pale, he nodded slightly and said.

"There is no signal here either." Officer Megure was about to make a phone call for other people to come for help, but when he took out his cell phone, it showed no signal.

"By the way, I remember there seemed to be a landline phone at the front desk." Kogoro Mouri said as he hammered his hand.

They all hurried to the restaurant front desk.

Only Conan, Mao Lilan, Xingchen and Zemu Gongping were left.

"Mr. Sawaki, why are you still here?" asked Ran Mouri in confusion.

"Ran, I'll take the bottle of water with me." Sawaki Kouhei turned his head and said to Mouri Ran.

"Oh, I see." Mao Lilan nodded, turned her head and looked at Xingchen worriedly, and only walked forward after making sure that everything was fine.

"Chen, what happened to you just now?" Conan walked over and asked.

"Nothing, I just remembered some things. It's not convenient to talk about it here." Xingchen shook his head and said in a low voice, then took a step forward and looked a little staggering.

Conan was afraid that Xingchen would fall to the ground again in the next second, so he reached out and supported Xingchen, and walked out with Mao Lilan.

Just when they walked out.

Xingchen saw out of the corner of his eye that Zemu Gongping seemed to be tasting the seasoning, and the bright red color of the bottle indicated that it was definitely strong in taste.

I couldn't help but wonder why he was tasting the seasoning. Aren't wine tasters the most afraid of strong flavors?

At the restaurant.

"Damn, the telephone line is also cut." Kogoro Mouri came to the front desk and said after searching for a while.

"Everyone calm down. Murakami Jō should be somewhere around here now. Let's stay together and he won't have a chance to attack."

"When he is exhausted and can't help but come out on his own, we can get out." Officer Megure said, thinking of the safest method.

"Inspector, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

"I'm going to look for another piece of this area to see if there's any way out of this building." said Kogoro Mouri.

"Mr. Maori is right. Why don't we form teams of two and explore separately," Peter Ford suggested.

Mao Lilan and Conan also came to the restaurant with Xingchen.

Mao Lilan glanced at the surrounding ocean scenery, turned her head and whispered: "Xiao Chen, are you really okay?"

"Well, no big problem." Xingchen looked out the window, but he didn't see any fish or the beautiful underwater scenery.

Instead, there was only a pitch-black abyss, but without the tingling feeling and discomfort in the head.

At most, you will lose the view outside the window.

Following them, Sawaki Kouhei also arrived at the scene holding water.

Zemu Gongping heard what they said, put the water on the table and said, "I'll join in too."

"I'm going too." Shiratori Renzaburo followed.

"Then you have to be careful. Murakami Jō is very likely hiding somewhere in this building." Inspector Megure also nodded and said, "I'm going to go too."

"Xiaochen, don't think too much."

"Ran, Conan. You'd better stay here." Kogoro Mouri advised, and finally told Nana Koyamauchi to stay here and not wander around.

"Yeah." Nana Koyama agreed. She had brought gifts with her, but she had already neglected them and was now sweating profusely.

She always felt that this incident was the same as that day.
