Not too many out of four

"Li Jia, sister, are you going to go out?" Li Jia followed the voice and saw Conan Edogawa, a young boy looking out from Dr. Ali's house, without any surprise.

His expression and voice were a bit awkward, and every time he called her name, he would pause before adding the honorific.

"Well, Mr. Zhongye accidentally lost his collar," Li Jia said with a soft smile, "I'm going to go out and look for it."

If the pollution damage is not too serious, bring it back to Dr. Ali for repair. If it is badly damaged and deformed, you can only ask Dr. Ali to make a new positioning collar.

Edogawa Conan blinked, and his eyes stopped on the orange cat cub lying in Li Jia's arms: "Shall Chuya go out together?"

"Chuya is different from the other cats in Chuya. They don't like to go out very much. This time I want to take him out to relax." Probably because I ran away to Yokohama when I was a child and scared it. Compared with your cat, it will always be quieter and clingier.

This time, the orange cat cub was holding her hand and refused to let go, so she thought it would be fine to take him out for a walk, as long as he was wearing a traction vest and a leash to go out, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Then I will go together!" Edogawa Conan said childishly and cutely: "It will be faster for two people to find things together."

Li Jia tilted her head and said hesitantly: "I'm fine, but isn't Mr. Conan here to play with the doctor?"

He shook his head vigorously, and responded like a grown-up in a neat suit: "Mitsuhiko and Yuanta are also inside, we all came to the doctor to play video games, and there is nothing special to do. And the game only has two handles Now it's all taken over by Yuantai and the others, and I'm bored now, it would be more interesting to go out with Li Jia and sister to find things."

Even though he is only a seven-year-old elementary school student, he speaks in a way that makes people unable to refuse or refute.

Li Jia lowered her brows and smiled slightly: "Then Conan-kun, please go out with me."

I just went out to look for the positioning collar, and I was accompanied by two little knights. This feeling is quite amazing.

……

I searched along the position of the red dot displayed on the tracking necklace. The red dot flickered and jumped and did not move. It should be that the kitten accidentally got stuck in a certain position and got rid of it when it broke free.

As long as it is not a particularly dangerous place, the positioning collar should be able to be recovered smoothly.

Li Jia thought this way when she went out, and she also thought this way when she walked around with Edogawa Conan, until she followed the tracker to the Cupido Hotel.

She looked up in a daze, and muttered to herself, "Why did Zhongye-kun lose his collar in the hotel?"

The kitten's walking route is in the streets and alleys. Why is the place displayed on the positioning collar at the Cuphu Hotel?

Li Jia knew that the cat at home sometimes ran out of Mihua Town and ran around in the next-door Kubado Town, but it was too strange to leave the positioning collar in the Kubado Hotel.

"Anyway, let's go in and ask first?" Edogawa Conan suggested.

The hotel reception also helps to keep things that the guests have lost. Perhaps the positioning collar was picked up by the guests and delivered to the reception at the front desk.

Li Jia touched the cat in her arms, worried and distressed: "But what about Zhongye? The hotel won't let us bring the cat in, right?"

When she went out, she never thought that the collar would be left in the hotel, nor did she think that she would come to a place where even cats could not enter.

"It shouldn't matter if we just go into the reception and ask." Edogawa Conan comforted.

But if you want to take your cat upstairs, it depends on whether the hotel is a special hotel that allows pets to stay.

"That's right," Li Jia relaxed and squeezed the cat's pad, and laughed softly, "Maybe the collar can be found at the reception."

The orange cat cub obediently allowed himself to be touched and pinched, and his tail flicked a few times leisurely.

If it weren't for the occasional turning of the ears and head, "Chuya" would look like a simulated cat doll.

"Excuse me, have you found such a cat collar in the hotel?" Li Jia gently hooked the collar on the orange kitten's neck, and asked softly and carefully.

Conan Edogawa looked left and right, and his eyes stopped at the old man in a well-dressed suit not far away, with a kind face. Behind the old man, Kagawa Jingshu, whom Li Jia had met once, was also dressed similarly.

Looking like a rich president and his bodyguards, he's been really oversensitive lately.

Black suits are not exclusive to that organization, ordinary presidents or young masters from rich families will also wear this color. Although black is too formal in daily life, it is not like there are no such people.

"Conan-kun, it seems that the collar has not been delivered to the reception, we may have to go up and look for it."

Li Jia bent down and lowered her gaze, thankfully she relaxed and said, "But the reception is willing to take care of the middle school for us temporarily, we just need to find something and get down quickly."

Edogawa Conan withdrew his gaze, and replied quickly: "Li Jia, sister, let's hurry up and get the collar back."

Every time he called his sister, his voice would pause slightly.

Li Jia couldn't help tilting his head and laughing: "If Conan-kun is not used to being called, you can actually call me by my name directly."

Every time she watched Conan Jun calling her name with difficulty, Li Jia faintly wanted to laugh and began to reflect on whether she was too mean-spirited?Seeing the jokes of the young boy, it is obvious that Conan-kun has helped her a lot.

If you really don't want to be called, it doesn't matter to call her by her name directly. She doesn't care about these people.

Edogawa Conan heaved a sigh of relief. He also felt awkward calling his sister that way.

Regarding the truth about his shrinking, he didn't want to cause her and Lan to worry, he never thought of telling her about it.

But after the body becomes smaller, it is indeed a bit unspeakable to call the girl I like and my younger sister my sister.

"Zhongye, sister wants to put you here for a while." Li Jia raised the orange kitten to kiss the forehead and the tip of the nose, and said softly, "You have to be obedient and wait for sister to pick you up, we will come down soon gone."

"Mi, Mimi." The orange cat cub shyly flicked his tail and whispered.

"Please take care of this child. We will come down to pick it up soon if we find something." Li Jia was reluctant and worried about entrusting the orange cat cub to the reception. It was the first time she handed over her cat to someone else to take care of it .

I don't know if "Zhong Ye" will misunderstand that she wants to abandon it.

I don’t feel much when I’m separated from Zhongya Maomao at home, but being forced to be separated from the cat outside like this makes the delicate little girl feel a little uncomfortable.

Conan Edogawa saw that she would not be able to catch up with the elevator any longer, so he pulled her and ran away: "If Li Jia doesn't pass, the elevator will leave."

The two of them quickened their pace and would catch up with the elevator to close the door and go in. The people who went up together happened to be the two people that Edogawa Conan had observed just now.

Li Jia accidentally looked at Kagawa Jingshu, and didn't expect to meet him at the Cupido Hotel.

However, Mr. Jiachuan seemed to be working, and he didn't intend to say hello, and Li Jia couldn't speak rashly.

Her eyes paused for a moment on Jiachuan Jingshu's broad back, she lowered her head to avoid staring at others impolitely.

She was actually worried that Jiachuan Jingshu had completely forgotten her, and it would be too embarrassing if she said that the other party did not remember her.

Although it is impolite to pretend not to know each other, it can avoid the embarrassing situation of being silent.

The elevator, which was rising at a constant speed, suddenly shook, Jiachuan Jingshu took a step back unsteadily, and Li Jia stood firm with his back against the elevator wall: "Fa, what happened?"

Edogawa Conan looked up and looked around, uncertain: "Maybe the elevator is malfunctioning."

The failure of the elevator in the hotel will be discovered soon, and there is no need to panic too much.

There will also be an emergency braking device if the elevator falls suddenly, so it will not fall straight down, just wait patiently for rescue.

"Don't worry..." Before he finished speaking, the lights in the elevator flickered a few times, and it was completely dark.

There are no light-transmitting gaps in the elevator. Once the light source is dimmed, the entire interior of the elevator car will be so dark that you can't see your fingers.

Suddenly losing the means of visual observation of the outside world, falling into the predicament of not seeing anything, anyone can't help feeling a sudden heart attack.

What's more, Li Jia was not a bold girl in the first place.

She opened her eyes blankly: "Blackout...?"

Her heartbeat accelerated slightly, and Li Jia looked around at a loss, she couldn't even tell the direction in the darkness.

Fear and fear stimulated the adrenaline to rise, and his back slowly slid down against the elevator wall and squatted on the ground. Li Jia took a deep breath and touched his side but found nothing.

Even Edogawa Conan, who would have been there, disappeared.

"Conan-kun...?" Li Jia shouted tremblingly, "Don't run around when the elevator breaks down..."

"Lijia, I'm here." Conan Edogawa shouted in response, his voice didn't sound like he was afraid, but he was in better condition than Lijia.

She breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she is fine.

Just as she was leaning against the elevator wall to relax her body, a slight sound suddenly came from above the elevator.

Although it is only a small voice, it will be particularly obvious when no one around is talking.

At the same time, the sound of the keypress of the mobile phone, the sound of rubbing clothes and the sound of footsteps moving seemed to break through the soundproof box, and all of a sudden poured out to Li Jia.

She timidly shrank her body and hid in the corner.

The hand that fell aside was suddenly gently shaken, and someone came over to comfort her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Subconsciously bent her fingers, she looked over blankly and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

She seemed to hear a very familiar voice.

It was someone who had just appeared in her life not long ago, and the figure of a certain young man flashed through her mind indistinctly.

There was a burst of itching in the palm of her hand that was wrapped around her. She shrank her hand from the itching and was gently pinched her fingers. She soon realized that the other party was writing on her palm.

"Shhh, there are two very troublesome guys here." The deliberately lowered breath fell on the ear, bringing a burst of numbness.

Li Jia was startled, before she could be shy, she asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

Except for her and Conan-kun, there were eight other people in the elevator they hurriedly got on. She didn't know who the troublesome person the other party was talking about was referring to.

The person who protected her fell silent, no longer prepared to tell her who the dangerous troublesome person was.

Li Jia is not good at acting, let her know who he is talking about, if she accidentally reveals a strange look, she may be targeted by those guys.

"...You don't need to worry about it, just find something and get out of here." He said in a low voice.

He took her hand lightly and slowly retracted, caressing her hair hesitantly.

The hand with sharp bones fell on the top of the hair, and the gentle touch gave people a feeling of pity and tenderness. Li Jia couldn't see anything in the dark and could only blink blankly. She opened her mouth to call out the name.

"Don't be afraid, you'll be out soon." He put down his words gently and stepped back a few steps.

Li Jia wanted to grab him subconsciously, but her fingers only touched the smooth corner of the clothes and slipped away through her fingers. She didn't catch the person who suddenly appeared again.

The entire elevator car shook slightly, and the next moment light leaked in from the top of the elevator.

Someone opened the elevator door on the upper floor of the elevator to allow light to come in from the top of the elevator. Before the elevator maintenance personnel and firefighters arrived, an escape route was opened.

The people in the elevator cheered and couldn't wait to leave from the top of the elevator. Edogawa Conan squeezed over with difficulty and asked nervously, "Li Jia, are you okay?"

She quietly blinked and looked around at the passengers inside the elevator, and murmured softly, "I'm gone again..."

He ran away in a hurry like last time.

It seems that every time she encounters danger, he will suddenly appear in front of her and take her out of the predicament.

Li Jia murmured his name in a low voice, and said to herself in confusion: "Chuya Zhongyuan, could he be..."

Edogawa Conan looked her around, he was not injured or frightened, he was faintly relieved: "Who are you talking about?"

Why did Chuya Nakahara's name suddenly come up?Isn't the Zhongye cat brought out still waiting for them to go back at the reception downstairs?

Li Jia quickly shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself."

It seems that he doesn't want to be seen appearing. It was like this last time in Dorobega Paradise, and this time it was the same in the elevator of the Kushito Hotel. Nakahara only told her that there were two troublesome characters in the elevator, but he didn't Tell her who it is, only to let her go quickly.

Edogawa Conan was puzzled, thinking to himself, would the poet's name suddenly appear?

Li Jia doesn't read much poetry at ordinary times. If it weren't for the cat at home named Zhongye, she might not even buy Zhongyuan Zhongye's poetry anthology. How could this name come out of her mouth suddenly.

"Excuse me, can you help me take this child out?" Li Jia stopped Jiachuan Jingshu who was still in the elevator, and he seemed to be waiting for everyone else in the elevator to climb out.

"It's ok, I'll carry this child up." Kagawa Jingshu glanced at Edogawa Conan, and then answered the words gently.

Li Jia's slender arms and thin legs looked shorter than girls of the same age. No matter how small Edogawa Conan was, he weighed almost forty pounds. She really didn't have the strength to lift him over his head to the top of the elevator.

The little boy was about to refuse, but Jiachuan Jingshu had already lifted him up and let the person who went out first take him.

The young man who just pretended not to know Li Jia took advantage of the opportunity and threw a ball of paper into Li Jia's pocket. She blinked in confusion, and opened her mouth: "That..."

"I'll ask you to go up." Jiachuan Jingshu interrupted her first, pretending to be a kind person who just met for the first time, and handed over the girl and boy who couldn't go up.

Li Jia was in a daze the whole time. After they were rescued, the hotel manager hurried over with the elevator maintenance personnel and firefighters.

It took a little time to find out which floor the elevator stopped on and to notify maintenance and rescue personnel.

Normally, the person in charge of maintenance and rescue would open the elevator door at the upper floor and then carefully land on the top of the elevator for rescue, but this time it seems that someone opened the elevator door at a high place first and went down to open the nearest elevator door for those trapped in the elevator. floor elevator doors.

They ran for several floors in a hurry, but they didn't see the strange rescuer who descended directly without a safety rope.

The hotel manager apologized and bowed to the trapped person, and asked tentatively, "Do the guests see the person who opened the elevator door?"

Edogawa Conan couldn't help frowning, the person who opened the elevator door was not a rescuer from the hotel.

In the darkness, he didn't feel if there was anyone else in the elevator. He only heard that the elevator car vibrated slightly twice after the elevator fell into darkness. Maybe it was the movement made by the person descending.

Li Jia touched the ball of paper in his pocket, walked away quietly, covered the ball of paper with his hand and looked at it——

Go, get out of the hotel.

She raised her eyes in a daze and glanced at Jiachuan Jingshu. What does this mean?
