A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 152 Hehehe, what a coincidence
Before leaving, he took the armband from Haibara and used it to contact Conan.

After walking out of the hotel, Noah discovered a serious problem.

He couldn't understand this treasure map...

Fortunately, the service personnel pointed out that according to him, the area on the map is not on this mountain, but in the forest at the foot of the mountain. As for the specific location, he does not know.

According to the instructions received, Noah embarked on a journey to find Conan and the others.

At this time, Conan and the others just barely came to the foot of the mountain, and they haven't found the place marked by the treasure map.

For this treasure hunting trip, Conan refused from the bottom of his heart. The tragic lesson of last night is still vivid in his mind. If he is caught this time, he will write a self-criticism.

But who can't resist the little ghosts in front of me? Yuantai has been in a state of excitement since he got the treasure map last night. Conan, who was still sleeping in the morning, was pulled out of bed by him stand up.

"Why don't we go back now, maybe Brother Noah hasn't found out if we go back now, so we don't need to write a review."

"Conan, why are you so timid? There's nothing terrible about writing a review. The most important thing now is the treasure. If you find the treasure, Brother Noah might not let us write it if he's happy."

Hehehe, Conan looked at his little friend speechlessly. If this treasure map is real, it is still possible. The problem is that it is not real.

When he came out and passed the lobby in the morning, he had already seen the same treasure map on the counter. It was obvious that it was used by the hotel to attract guests. He didn't say it out because he was afraid of hurting the motivation of these people.

Besides, can you find the place without me?

Among the four of them, only Conan himself can understand the route drawn on the treasure map, and the other three have so far been useless except to add confusion.

"Conan, isn't the river drawn here? Why are we going into the forest?"

Suppressing the helplessness in his heart, Conan picked up the treasure map and explained the next itinerary to several people. Instead of meeting and asking one by one, it is better to explain to them all at once.

In fact, half of the markings on this treasure map have been destroyed. Conan deliberately studied the nearby terrain last night, and there were no rivers.

Then I went to the hotel and borrowed some old geographical magazines to observe, and found that there was a river passing through this area decades ago, but for some unknown reason, the river disappeared.

A large part of the marks on the map have gradually changed their appearance due to the disappearance of the river, and Conan can only move forward slowly.

Seeing a few friends nodding earnestly, half understanding, Conan couldn't figure out whether these people really understood.

"Follow me, don't run around."

……

Noah, who had come to the foot of the mountain, looked at the endless forest and scratched his head worriedly. Isn't this embarrassing?

He tried to find his position on the map according to the surrounding environment, but found that his efforts were in vain.

Leaving aside whether he knew the treasure map or not, the rivers that appeared on the treasure map were enough for him to worry about. He didn't do his homework in advance like Conan did.

He could only rely on his own instincts and the traces Conan and the others left on the road to move forward slowly. He also tried calling with an armband, but unfortunately, this thing had no signal at all in the forest.

Fortunately, he asked the waiter before he came, this forest is not like the forest on the mountain, because the residents of Nagano Prefecture often come to camp, the wild beasts here are all driven away, and the only ones left are non-dangerous species.

However, it is precisely because people often come to camp that the difficulty of Noah's search is greatly increased. The traces left on the road must be carefully screened to distinguish when they were left and whether they were left by Conan and the others. of.

"These brats are really bold enough to dare to go deep into such a place."

Rubbing his sore eyes, Noah made complaints silently, then cheered up and moved on.

……

At this time, Conan and the others have reached the final destination marked on the treasure map, a cave entrance.

"No, this is the final destination indicated by the treasure map."

Standing in front of the cave entrance, looking at the darkness inside, Yuan Tai and the others felt a little timid.

"Why don't you go back, I don't think there will be any treasure inside, maybe someone has already taken it away."

Conan took advantage of the situation and wanted to persuade him to quit. After all, he really didn't believe that there would be treasures in it. Even if there were, the people in the hotel would have taken them away long ago.

"Look, there are words on it."

"Go to the road of Xianglong, so that God will bless and shine on you."

"Could this blessing be something like gold jewelry, or that kind of sparkling diamond?"

"How is it possible? I think it should be used to remind passers-by. Hey, what are you guys doing?"

Conan, who was halfway through the conversation, suddenly felt that there was nothing around him. He turned his head and saw that several friends had already turned on the lights of their watches and groped forward inside.

"We'll go in and have a look, and then we'll come out soon."

... Hehehe, you can only believe in your words, so in desperation, Conan had no choice but to follow into the cave.

"Wow, I really didn't see it from the outside. This cave is so big."

Instead of chatting with a few friends, Conan walked at the back and silently observed the terrain with the light of his watch.

Half a cigarette suddenly appeared in Conan's sight. He held it in his hand and observed it carefully. When he felt the cigarette butt was still slightly wet, he frowned slightly. Could it be that someone came in here not long ago?

The deeper he went in, the more Conan frowned. He had seen more than one cigarette butt.

A sudden voice made the four of them stop, I look at you, you look at me.

"It seems that someone is one step ahead of us. Have they already discovered the treasure?"

"We finally got here, how can we let others get there first."

Yuan Tai aggressively rubbed his fists and walked forward, wanting to see who was inside.

As soon as he walked to the corner, after seeing the situation inside, he opened his mouth in horror, collapsed to the ground, pushed his calves hard, and sat down beside Conan and the others. Baba can't say a complete sentence.

"Yuantai, what did you see?"

"There... someone... is... burying... corpses!"

These words exploded in the ears of several people like thunder. Before they could react, a middle-aged man with a cold face appeared around the corner. He came to check after hearing the movement.

Seeing that it was a few little ghosts, the coldness on his face became even worse, and he took out a pistol from his arms and aimed at them.

"run!"

Conan yelled, and hurriedly pushed his friends back in the same direction. The middle-aged man pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

"boom"

Conan, who was running out, staggered, staggered and wanted to fall forward, but finally stabilized his body and continued to run forward.

"What's going on, what did you shoot at?"

"Several brats, they should have seen what we did just now."

There were originally four of them in this gang, but when they robbed a bank, one of their companions was seen face-to-face, so they had to "reluctantly" kill him. They were disposing of the body just now, but they didn't expect to be seen by Conan and the others by such a coincidence.

"Chasing, you must not let them go, or we will all be in trouble."

Of course adults ran faster than children, and Conan and the others were too deep, so they heard clear footsteps behind them before they ran for long.

Before he had time to think, Conan told them to hide behind a big rock. Just as they hid, the robbers whizzed by.

"What now, Conan, we're in trouble."

He didn't hear Conan responding to him, so Yuanta hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that Conan was clutching his waist with a painful expression at this time, and illuminated it with a light, and saw the blood-stained scene.

"Ah, Conan, you're hurt."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also hurriedly surrounded them. After all, they were a group of children. They were helpless in the face of Conan who was shot.

"Don't worry, let's go into the cave while they are not here now, I think there must be an exit inside."

"Then what if there is no way."

"No, there must be. Do you still remember what was written on that stone? If you set foot on the road of Xianglong, you will surely gain glory with you. This should be the exit."

Seeing Conan's increasingly painful expression, Yuan Tai and the others looked at each other, no longer hesitated, carried Conan on their backs and rushed inside.
