The main hall of the hot spring hotel.

All the wall lamps in the hall were turned on, illuminating the hall brightly inside and out.The guests in the hotel were all woken up, and they gathered together anxiously to keep warm.

Minor discussions are like annoying gnats in summer, making the atmosphere in the hall anxious like a pot of water that is about to boil.

Mori Kogoro and his group were sitting around the sofa, their faces getting uglier than the last.

Half an hour ago, they rushed to Mao Lilan's room and found that Suzuki Sonoko and Huiyuan Ai were bewitched to the ground, and Zetian Ya, who was supposed to be with them, was gone.

"The real purpose of the prisoner taking Ayumi away is to cause a commotion and let us gather in this hall."

Mori Kogoro took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice.As the elder and detective of this group of people, he felt that he should take responsibility, "That is to say, the two people in room 104 are probably accomplices. After they took Ayumi away, one of them started the car and let We heard the sound of the engine and left ruts on the back door to create the illusion that we had already left. Then another person lurked in the hotel and went to Lan's room while we were not paying attention, stunned Suzuki and Haibara, and took Ze Tian. The other party's goal is very clear, that is little sister Sawada, as for Ayumi, it is very likely that it is just incidental."

"So they have been eyeing Zetian-san for a long time?" Yuan Tai asked with tears in his eyes, "Deliberately got on the same train with us, and then followed here?"

No, it shouldn't be that early.

Conan lowered his eyes in thought, and the fire alarm sounded in the second half of the Suzuki express train. At that time, Genta and the others met the couple on their way to evacuate.If the other party had focused on Zetian at that time and found that she was not with other people, he would definitely go back to find her, and would not miss this great opportunity in the chaos.

They didn't move at that time, it is very likely that Zetian was not their target when they were on the train, and he was more inclined that the other party had a sudden idea after they met in the hotel.

But why are there so many children and those two people staring at Zetian?Is there anything special about her?

Conan glanced at Toru Amuro who was sitting at the other end of the sofa.The blond man's eyes were half-downcast, he couldn't see clearly, and he was flipping through a travel brochure seemingly calmly.

The people around him subconsciously sat a little far away from him, and even Kogoro Mori subconsciously lowered his voice when he spoke just now.

Judging by his expression, it doesn't look like the black organization did it. Could it be an accidental intrusion?

Mori Kogoro: "All in all, the police in Nagasaki County have set up roadblocks along the way. During the day, the monitor at the entrance of the parking lot also captured the license plate number of the car driven by the couple. There should be news soon. Let's rest assured Wait, then."

"But..." Genta and Mitsuhiko said worriedly, "What if the two kidnappers hurt Ayumi and Sawada on the way?"

Mori Kogoro: "Don't think about such unlucky things! And since they tried everything possible to kidnap people, there must be a purpose. Before they achieve their purpose, the kidnappers will definitely not attack those two children."

But what purpose did those two people have?

Conan glanced over there, and then turned his gaze back to the table. On it were some odds and ends found from Room 104, which seemed to be left by the murderer. The travel brochure in Toru Amuro's hand Also one of them.

What he is really worried about now is, will the other party really drive in the direction of entering the city?If he turned into the mountains, the roadblocks set up by the police on the road would be useless.

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when a person is most likely to get sleepy.

Although a kidnapping case shocked everyone soberly, people's energy was not diverted by the unexpected situation, especially the guests of the hotel spent most of the day traveling between various attractions during the day.When the nerves stimulated by the kidnapping case relaxed again, drowsiness returned, and it didn't take long for the hall to yawn continuously, and many people even got up and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

When the case does not happen to them, most people's attention is limited.

Mao Lilan went to the store to ask for some tea, made strong tea, poured a cup for each of them and put it in front of him.

They will definitely not be able to sleep at this time.Suzuki Sonoko was still on the phone in the corner. She used her family power to send a search and rescue team to help find someone. After all, Sawada Ya disappeared under her care, so she inevitably blamed herself.

Mao Lilan looked back at her friend worriedly, then turned to look at the sofa.There lay the sleeping Naruto. He followed her to the hall and there was no movement for a long time. When they found out, the child had fallen asleep at some point, and the turmoil when he was looking for someone just now did not disturb him. Awake.

He slept so deeply that it made people worry if he was sick. Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief after taking his temperature.

Up until now, Naruto didn't know that his sister was missing, and the other adults didn't wake him up because they were afraid that he would cry.

Mao Lilan looked at him worriedly for a while before retracting his eyes and continuing to pour tea. When he turned around, he found that Conan was staring at the things on the table in a daze.

The items left by the prisoner are not too many. The contact lens case, facial cleanser, and cosmetics that were placed on the bathroom sink at that time were all things used by girls.

"Hey, Sister Lan." The black-haired boy raised his head, "When you girls go out to play, do you all habitually take out your cosmetics and arrange them in advance?"

"Ah, because I need to use it when I get up the next day." Mao Lilan was stunned and replied.

Sonoko Suzuki came over just after the phone call, and answered casually, "After all, girls have so many makeup and skin care steps, if you don't take them out first, won't you be in a hurry by then?"

"You can pick it up again the next morning."

"Huh? Why don't I stay in bed for a few more minutes while I'm at it?"

Conan lowered his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in the bottom of his eyes.Yes, most girls are used to this.So for that Miss Ri Qingshui, she actually had the expectation of "getting up at the hotel the next day".

Was she unaware of the kidnapping plan in advance?

And since the plan was changed halfway, what was their original destination?

As soon as he thought of this, he saw the person at the other end of the sofa stand up and walk towards the front desk with the tourist brochure.

"That..." Everyone followed him subconsciously, not daring to speak.

I don't know if it was because the blond young man acted too calmly after his cousin's accident. He was as calm as the deep sea with dark tide and turbulent waves beneath the calm surface. His eyes were cold and bottomless. To be honest, it was a bit scary.

"Excuse me, is there a scenic spot called the Five-Party Pagoda near here?" Toru Amuro walked to the counter in front of everyone's eyes and asked.

Everyone was stunned, asking this at this time, it couldn't be that the boss suddenly got interested and wanted to go out for a night tour, right?

...Any fool knows it's impossible.

Everyone wanted to ask, but they were a little timid. The children of the Detective Boys huddled together and hugged Conan, and whispered, "What does Brother Amuro want to do?"

Conan's eyes fell on the tall and handsome silhouette of the blond young man, and a few details suddenly flashed back in his mind.

"Yes." The owner of the hotel is a middle-aged man with a shaved head. There was a sudden kidnapping case in the store. Wishing is very spiritual, and many tourists come for this.”

Make a wish?

Conan was taken aback, and suddenly ran over, "Hey, during the day today, did the couple change rooms?"

"Ah, yes." The shopkeeper nodded and recalled, "The room they originally reserved was room 108 in the west wing, but for some reason, Mr. Matsuo suddenly said that the feng shui of that room was not good, so he insisted on changing it. .And we switched them to 104."

...Feng Shui.

A light flashed in Conan's mind, he jumped up and climbed onto the counter, and asked almost at the same time as Toru Amuro, "Where is the address of the Five-Party Tower?!"

"What? Send a team of people to intercept in the direction of the Five Square Tower?"

The police officers in Nagasaki County were at a loss when they heard this request, "Why? Even if the kidnappers take hostages and flee through the mountains, they shouldn't go straight to the scenic spot? The hillside where the Five-Party Pagoda is located is a cliff ahead , They went there and there was no way to go.”

"Well, because the prisoner's goal in coming here was the Five-Party Pagoda, so, I think... Is it possible for him to pass there too?" Mori Kogoro laughed dryly, what could he explain?He is also confused, so it can't be said that his disciples instructed him to do this?

Speaking of which, he didn't even know how they knew the original target of the prisoner, and what were the two people doing at night with the two little girls running into the Buddhist pagoda in the deep mountain?Engaging in cult sacrifices?

Haibara glanced at Kogoro Mori who was still communicating with the police, then shifted his gaze to the computer in front of him, and pressed the headset on his ear.

"I'm looking up the information on the Five-Party Tower you want." Hui Yuanai said calmly, "However, how can you be sure that the prisoner will definitely go there?"

Conan's voice came out through the earphones, filtered through a layer of radio waves, and had a calm and cold feeling, "Because of 'Feng Shui'."

"Feng Shui?"

"The room layout of the hotel is divided into east and west wings. Room 108 and the room we booked are both in the west wing, while room 104 is in the east wing. The prisoner's target is Zetian, and the room 108 he booked at the beginning is different from ours. It was more convenient to commit the crime if it was close, but he deliberately moved to the east. Therefore, I suspect that what he told the boss that room 108 has bad feng shui may really be the reason why he changed the room."

Conan sat on the back seat of the car, his blue eyes reflected the scenery passing by the window, and he lowered his voice to Haibara Ai amidst the howling wind.

"Maybe it's something else?"

"As long as it is not related to the crime, he can tell the boss directly. There is no need to find an excuse that looks like a prick to attract attention. And during the day, I noticed that the man wore a string of Old Buddhist beads, with traces of frequent use. When he walked past, there was a faint scent of sandalwood on his body, and his hair was shaved very short. I wondered if he was a monk who had just returned to lay life in a temple. It was strange at the time Pay attention."

Hui Yuanai's fingertips stopped typing on the keyboard, and her eyes subconsciously shifted towards the headset, "If it was a monk, he would indeed believe this. But, you can't judge that he will run to the Five-Fang Pagoda just based on this, right? "

"More than that, do you remember what happened on the train during the day?"

Conan put his hands on the edge of the car window, the broken hair on his forehead was blown away by the night wind, and he murmured softly, "...To be honest, I still have some doubts about the existence of Onmyoji."

Hui Yuanai: "Does it belong to the detective's rational thinking?"

"Probably... All in all, whether I believe it or not, in the eyes of those people, Zetian is probably different from other people. The reason why he identified her is very likely that there is a ritual that requires her to cooperate. It was not easy for him If we abduct her away, we will definitely go straight to the destination of the Five-Party Tower."

"So, why do you know that his original goal was the Five-Party Tower?"

"Combined with some clues, this is easy to judge..." Conan looked out the window absently.

The forest in the middle of the night is a bit quieter and treacherous than in the daytime, and the branches growing on both sides of the road are like demons hiding in the depths of the forest, reaching out to passers-by.The deep and shallow shadows covered everything in the darkness, and the sound of cars driving on the trail was extraordinarily empty, as if it had spread far away in the night.

That unreliable Uncle Maori might be right in his casual complaints this time.

Conan's azure blue eyes cast a shadow, and there was deep worry in his heart.

Cult priests... don't let anything happen until they arrive.

"One last question." Haibara Ai asked through the headset, "Will nothing happen if you run out with Toru Amuro like this?"

Don't forget he's from the Black Organization.

"...This is nothing." After receiving this cryptic reminder, Conan looked up at the person in the driver's seat in front of him.

The blond young man was holding the steering wheel, his expression was condensed, and his aura was cold and murderous like no one should enter.

"...I don't think his mind is on me at all right now." Feeling the speed of the car going up at least [-] miles, Conan said numbly, his face blurred by the blowing wind.
