At this time, Mao Lilan felt dizzy and her eyelids were very heavy. She seemed to see the beautiful aurora in the Arctic, and her parents were celebrating the New Year together on the cruise ship...
Deng, Deng, Deng...
However, sudden and heavy footsteps were heard, and the illusion in front of her gradually dissipated, followed by a bone-chilling coldness. The footsteps seemed to be stepping on Mao Lilan's heart, and her heart gradually sank into the abyss.
"You, you, and you, go over there, and move quickly!"
"Find her, you must find her!"
A deep male voice echoed in the dim space. The light of the flashlight occasionally shone in from the gap. Mao Lilan hid in the darkness again, comforting herself in her heart: I am very good at hide-and-seek. No one can find me unless it is Shinichi. They will definitely not be able to find me...
The messy footsteps and noisy voices gradually faded away. Mao Lilan put the last biscuit into her mouth. Her mouth felt as rough as sandpaper as she hadn't drunk water for a long time. She chewed the biscuit for a long time and it was difficult to swallow.
This was what she had originally planned to bring on board the ship, hoping that the family could sit on the deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and eat cookies. However, it burst like a soap bubble floating in the air.
Cold, sleepy, hungry and tired swept over her. At this moment, Mao Lilan felt as if she was in a coffin, and she could vaguely smell blood.
Whose is that? Mine?
Am I going to die like this?
I still have so many things to do. Mom hasn't moved back yet, and Dad can't even take care of himself. I still have a lot to say to Shinichi, and I still have a lot of things to do...
I, I don’t want to die yet…
Many precious scenes appeared in Mao Lilan's mind like a kaleidoscope, from the season when cherry blossoms were flying to the time when snow was flying all over the sky, there were tears and laughter.
But this dark warehouse is filled with the smell of decay and despair.
Deng, Deng, Deng...
It was the dull sound of heavy soles hitting the ground, which was particularly clear in the dark warehouse, and was getting closer and closer to the low cabinet where Mao Lilan was hiding.
Mao Lilan clenched her fists, every muscle was tense, and saw the approaching black shadow through the gap in the cabinet door.
Should I just sit there and wait to die? Wait to be found and then die tragically under the sharp steel knife like that cat? Mao Lilan's heart was beating very fast.
Rather than getting caught, it’s better to give it a try.
Mao Lilan widened her eyes, stared at the cabinet door, and adjusted her breathing, while the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
The dazzling light passed through the gap in the door panel and fell on the back panel not far from Mao Lilan's side. Mao Lilan's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
The footsteps stopped in front of the cabinet, and the dark shadow shone the flashlight everywhere again and again. Mao Lilan held her breath.
With a creaky sound, the old cabinet door was opened a crack.
Mao Lilan held her breath, and the dust she raised made her cough repeatedly.
Now, if the cabinet door was opened a little more, the black shadow should be able to discover her. Mao Lilan made a quick decision and rushed out directly. She raised her leg and kicked forward, hitting the black shadow in the abdomen, and the black shadow flew backwards immediately.
The flashlight fell to the ground, spun around, and shone the light on the dark shadow.
When Mao Lilan saw the figure clearly, she exclaimed, "Shinichi!"
Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting on the ground with his hands covering his abdomen, looked in pain, but after hearing Mao Li Ran's voice, he showed a long-lost smile, "Ran, I found you..."
Mao Lilan quickly ran to Kudo Shinichi, knelt on the ground and cried, "Shinichi, why did you come just now? Do you know how scared I was? My mother seemed to have been kidnapped by the bad guys, and I don't know where my father went. I thought I was going to die..."
Tears rolled out of her eyes one by one like pearls that had broken off the string. Kudo Shinichi reached out and touched Mao Lilan's face, but felt that the touch was not right.
At this time, the police officers quickly came over after hearing the noise. One of them picked up Mao Lilan. Mao Lilan's lips were chapped at this time, her face was pale, and she was crying loudly, but her tears could not come out.
"Oh no, this is dehydration!"
Mao Lilan looked around, but did not see the person she expected, so she asked sobbingly: "Where is my mother? My mother was kidnapped by the bad guys, you...you go and save her quickly..."
A police officer handed Mao Lilan a bottle of warm electrolyte water and said, "Drink slowly. Your mother is in the hospital now. Maybe she has woken up now."
"Hospital?" Mao Lilan gulped down a few gulps of water.
"When Aunt Eri was unconscious, she kept talking about this place. We guessed that you must be hiding here, and sure enough, I found you." Kudo Shinichi put his hands behind his head and smiled brightly, "Xiaolan, that kick of yours was really powerful."
Mao Lilan looked around, frowning, "Where's my dad?"
For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence.
"I'm sorry, we were unable to contact Maori Kogoro."
The cold night wind blew up the dust, and Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi got on the police car heading to the hospital.
"Ran, do you still remember the information about the cruise ship?" Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists on his knees, pricked up his ears and waited for Ran Mouri's answer.
"The ticket was gold, the cruise ship was bound for London, and it was taking the Arctic route."
Kudo Shinichi frowned, "Uncle Maori is very likely on that cruise ship. Do you remember the name of the cruise ship?"
Mao Lilan shook her head, but suddenly seemed to remember something, "Didn't my father save the son of that gem tycoon?"
When these words were spoken, the police officers in the car pricked up their ears.
"That golden ticket was sent by the future daughter-in-law of the jewel tycoon. She invited us to board the cruise ship and said that as long as Dad gets on board, he will get 100 million yen, and there will be opportunities to make money on the cruise ship."
"It seems we have a new direction for reconnaissance." Megure Jusan clenched his fists.
At this moment, a firework bloomed brilliantly on the dark sea, illuminating the surrounding sea.
"Did you shoot him?" Ross squinted his eyes, trying to find the black hang glider among the gorgeous fireworks, but he couldn't see it.
Maori Kogoro's eyes widened. He didn't even fire a gun, so how did the other party explode? Now there was no trace of a person, "Oh no, this must be a trap!"
"What do you mean?"
"Such a large firework can definitely be seen even from a long distance. The Phantom Thief must be using the fireworks to contact his accomplices!"
Ross still didn't understand. "So where did the Phantom Thief Crow go? Don't tell me that he blew himself up in order to tell his accomplices his location."
Maori Kogoro frowned, put down his gun, and used a searchlight to illuminate the sky where the fireworks appeared...
