Not too many out of four

"... Li Jia, Li Jia?"

Conan Edogawa called her several times before she came back to her senses and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I accidentally lost my mind."

The little boy frowned and looked at her, and asked worriedly: "Did you get scared in the elevator just now? Let's go back after we find the collar."

She didn't seem to have recovered from the shock of being trapped in the elevator, she yelled several times in a trance before responding.

Li Jia nodded slightly, and replied softly: "Okay, find the collar and we'll go back."

When Edogawa Conan took the initiative to run towards the flashing red dot on the tracker, she couldn't help but look back. Kagawa Jingshu had disappeared into the crowd, and Zhongyuan Zhong, who secretly helped them open the elevator door, was also gone. nearby.

Two people have already told her to leave the Cupe Hotel as soon as possible.

Here is what is about to happen, so let them get out of here quickly?

Without the slightest clue or intelligence, I just blindly think that it is impossible to get any results.

She didn't know what would happen to the Cupido Hotel, but there were only two elevators in the hotel, one elevator had a problem and needed to be repaired and maintained, and the only remaining elevator that could be used was the other.

The positioning red dot on the tracker can only see the distance on the plane, and the distance up and down is very vague. The elevator was forced to stop on the [-]th floor, and they could only climb up the remaining stairs to find near the red dot.

Li Jia originally wanted to find it on the top floor of the hotel. The location where the red dot jumps is only a few steps away from the escape route. Go down the stairs and you should be able to find the lost collar soon.

After all, what they were looking for was a collar with a lovely ribbon on it, which should be very conspicuous to find.

If you're lucky, you may not need to run a few floors to find it.

But now the elevator broke down just half way up to the top floor of the hotel, and half of the stairs required them to climb slowly.

Li Jia felt a little uneasy, and said softly, "Let's start looking down from the eighteenth floor."

Conan Edogawa was surprised: "But if you can't find it, don't you have to go back to the top floor and look for it again?"

Dr. A Li's inventions always have some small or big shortcomings. Obviously, the functions and ideas are very good, but because of these occasional small problems and small defects, the price he sells is always kept very low.

For example, the locating collar of the cat in Zhongye and the badge of the Boys Detective Corps, some of the principles are similar, but the locating collar cannot be used for communication.

It also lacks accurate data of intuitive height position. If the tracked target overlaps with the tracker at the same position but is not on the same plane, it is difficult for the tracker to show the difference.

This is also the drawback of Dr. A Li's tracking and positioning device.

"...Let's go back if we can't find it," Li Jia lowered her eyes and said slowly and softly: "The positioning collar can also be made by the doctor for help."

Although the collar of the kitten is important, it cannot be searched in the hotel for a long time regardless of the danger.

Now go down from the eighteenth floor, leave immediately if you find the collar, and don't stay here much if you can't find the collar.

"That's good, anyway, the doctor can do it very quickly." Edogawa Conan didn't understand why she suddenly changed her mind, but he didn't want Li Jia to stay in the hotel for too long, and it would be good if he could leave earlier.

Before he got into the elevator, he thought he was being too sensitive for staring at the two men in black and thinking they might be gin and vodka companions.

When the elevator broke down and shook, he noticed that the old man leaned back with his elbows and touched something hidden behind his waist.

Gu Gu insisted on pushing up the suit jacket with a slight arc. If he guessed correctly, the thing the old man hid behind his waist was—a pistol.

Taking advantage of the dimming of the elevator lights, he squeezed over and stuck the bug on the inside of the old man's suit jacket.

Edogawa Conan had a vague premonition that these two men might be the members of the black organization he was looking for.

……

"Well, it doesn't seem to be on this floor either." Li Jia bent down and followed the red dots, looking around for dark collars or things like ribbons, but unfortunately they couldn't find anything.

The tracker shows that her location almost overlaps with the kitten's collar, which means that she should be in the right place, but the floor is wrong.

"Conan-kun, do you have any over there?" She turned her head to look at Edogawa Conan who was squatting in the corner. From the beginning, the young boy was so bored that he didn't want to find a collar and squat in the corner in a daze.

But when Mr. Conan said that he wanted to go out together, she didn't think about asking him to do anything, she just took it as someone to accompany him to go out together as a companion.

After all, children's attention is always easily distracted, and they will naturally feel bored if they can't find something all the time.

"Ah? I don't have it here." Edogawa Conan hurriedly glanced at it, then raised his voice and replied.

He was too focused on listening to the voice coming back from the bug, and didn't pay close attention to whether there was a collar nearby.

The tracking glasses continued to transmit the sound back, until he heard the special code named after wine, and his heart sank slightly.

Pisco and Scotland...

Those two people were indeed members of the Black Organization.

He glanced at Li Jia calmly, and suddenly yelled to attract Li Jia's attention.

"What, what's the matter?" Li Jia was almost taken aback by him.

"I, I suddenly remembered that Genta and the others asked me to come out and buy snacks..." Edogawa Conan scratched the side of his face, pretending to be embarrassed.

We must rush to the people in the black organization.

If such a good opportunity is let go by him, the next time he wants to catch the tail of the black organization, he doesn't know when he will have to wait.

"Hey, are you going to buy Kamen Rider's snacks?" She remembered that the children of Teidan Elementary School liked Kamen Rider very much, and often bought a lot of snacks to draw cards for the cards that came with Kamen Rider snacks.

Conan Edogawa smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, they suddenly wanted to eat snacks while playing games."

"Then Conan-kun, let's go first. If I can't find it, I will go back and ask Dr. Ali to help redo it." She nodded in understanding, and told him in a gentle voice: "Be careful on the road and watch the car."

The little boy was half guilty and half anxious, he nodded indiscriminately and said: "I see."

He can't bring danger to Li Jia, and he can't let go of the people from the Black Organization. They definitely didn't come to the Cup House Hotel for no reason, and they must have some special purpose.

Conan Edogawa pressed the button on the side of the glasses, and the antenna and the map-like scene popped up and landed on the glasses. He hurried to the elevator and pressed the up button.

"Are you in such a hurry to buy snacks?" Li Jia tilted her head and whispered with emotion: "But it's good, Mr. Conan can leave the hotel earlier."

She turned her head and glanced at the floor number displayed on the wall beside her - the thirteenth floor.

"It takes at least 5 minutes to find the first floor, and it has been half an hour since I came down from the [-]th floor." In fact, the speed of finding them from one floor to another is not slow, but Li Jia is vaguely thinking about what Chuya and the others said.

Except for the hotel lobby on the first floor, did they search for the positioning collar at the beginning, and the remaining floors that have not been found are between the second floor to the [-]th floor and the floors above the [-]th floor.

"Why don't you go back today?" Li Jia murmured timidly, "You can come back to look for the collar another day..."

Something special might happen in the hotel today, but they didn't tell her the specifics, and Li Jia could only guess wildly, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy and anxious she felt.

And she was worried about leaving the cat at the hotel reception for a long time, it would be bad if the orange cat accidentally ran out.

Messy thoughts circled in her mind, and Li Jia calmed down: "Let's take Zhong Ye back now, just as Conan-kun is leaving too."

The Kubado Hotel is located in Kubado-cho. If you can’t find it today, you can come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to find it slowly.

Don't be in a hurry to find the positioning collar today. Dr. A Li customized the collars for the cats in Zhongye. She still uses them most at home.

Although Zhongye cats go out every day, Li Jia is no longer worried that they will go out and not come back.

The cats in the house are all good cats with feline virtues, guarding the door and knowing to go home on time, but there is no big problem if there is no positioning collar for a day or two.

but……

Li Jia quietly glanced at the direction of the elevator, this time she should leave the hotel by taking the stairs.

Having been trapped by the elevator just now, she felt uneasy when she saw the elevator still in operation. If she was trapped in it again, she would have a psychological shadow on the elevator.

The escape routes in the hotel are dimly lit, but not completely blinding.

The escape route sign on the top is also glowing with a faint green light, emitting a little light to illuminate the path under your feet, but walking alone will feel a little scary.

Li Jia didn't think there was any problem in the stairwell when Conan-kun accompanied her down the stairs.

Now it was her turn to go downstairs alone, and she would not go back to the bright passage of the guest room corridor. It was somewhat scary to go all the way down.

"Run down all at once, and you'll reach the first floor soon." Li Jia took a deep breath, secretly encouraging herself.

The leather shoes fell on the stairs, and the sound of footsteps echoing through the wall made Li Jia feel even more flustered.

The pace of running down hurriedly became untenable when the ground suddenly began to shake and shake, and fell hard on the steps of the stairs.

She took a deep breath, and carefully lifted her trouser legs to reveal her slightly red and swollen ankle: "Oops, I accidentally sprained my ankle."

The ground and the ceiling above her head vibrated and began to fall down with gravel. She screamed and covered her ears and flung herself to the ground to avoid the falling stones.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, but Li Jia still couldn't recover, and murmured, "Is it an earthquake?"

The door of the escape passage was closed tightly, and the sound outside the stairwell was completely isolated, leaving only indistinct sounds accompanied by the shaking floor and ceiling.

She began to regret not watching TV when she went out, maybe the earthquake warning was being broadcast on TV.

However, based on the response speed of their country's earthquake bureau, it might be observed that the earthquake is coming 10 minutes before the earthquake begins, and then hurriedly interrupt the broadcast to notify the public to evacuate.

"By the way, Zhongya is still on the first floor!" Li Jia's face changed slightly, and he tried his best to prop up his body and move down.

Zhongye cats have grown up to eight months old, and it is not uncommon for them to encounter earthquakes. When there is a danger of being unable to resist struggle such as natural disasters, they also know to run to a safe place to evacuate.

But "Zhongye" is different. It is now placed at the hotel reception with a leash on its back.

If the person at the reception forgets about the existence of the cat and escapes from the hotel alone, "Chuya" may die under the collapsed masonry.

She must go downstairs as soon as possible.

Li Jia felt regretful in her heart, she knew that she had just taken the elevator down.

If she could ignore the fear in her heart and take the elevator directly downstairs, she would have reached the first floor by now.

"Have you stopped?" Li Jia leaned on the wall, looking up at the ceiling in surprise.

The ground was no longer shaking, and there was no muffled noise outside.

Li Jia held on to the handrail of the stairs, raised her injured leg slightly, and jumped down the stairs.

Beads of sweat slowly appeared on her forehead, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat, and said to herself, "Why does it feel like it's getting hotter?"

There was a faint red light from the deformed door behind him, and Li Jia looked back a little uneasy: "...is that fire?"

The red light of the flame almost leaked through the closed door. With the sound of the flame burning and crackling, the deformed door revealed a gap for the tongue of fire to lick the escape passage of the hotel.

The thick smoke permeated the upper air at an extremely fast speed, forcing Li Jia to squat down with her body curled up, coughing in embarrassment: "Ahem, the hotel is on fire."

Was it the earthquake just now?Or was it the fire that caused the vibration just now?

She lowered her head and covered her mouth and nose, her ankle was so painful that she could barely move.

The surrounding oxygen was decreasing little by little, and Li Jia coughed and panted softly: "I won't just die like this, will I?"

But she hasn't taken "Chuya" out of the hotel safely, if only she had just asked Conan-kun to help take "Chuya" away.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and the lack of oxygen caused the brain to become dizzy and difficult to function. In a vague way, she seemed to hear someone calling her name loudly.

"... Lijia!" The tone of the anxious and irritable voice was tongue-rolling, just like the way she heard those bad students speak in school.

Ah, but it seems that Uncle Mouri can also flick his tongue, which means that flicking his tongue is not exclusive to bad students, right?

The thin figure in the flames hurried towards her, the curly ocher hair exuded a strong vitality, scorching and dazzling.

The loose white underwear exposed a large collarbone, and when the boy jumped to avoid the flames, he raised his hem to reveal his thin and powerful waist. The dark gloves covered the skin of his hands and firmly pressed the hat on his head.

Li Jia smiled unconsciously, it turned out that he took off his gloves and grabbed her hand when he was in the elevator.

"Li Jia!" Zhong Yuanzhong also swooped down, using all his strength and muscles to the extreme, as agile as a cheetah, and squatted down on one knee in front of her: "I finally found you!"

Arms passed through the girl's back and knees to hug her easily. Zhong Yuan Zhong also looked down and said in a low voice: "I will take you out of here now."

When he was in the elevator, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the two men in black, and he just wanted to let Li Jia quickly find the collar and go back. He followed up to be vigilant about the actions of the two men.

Unexpectedly, these two lunatics killed the mission target and planned to destroy the traces of the scene and destroy the corpses by blowing up the hotel.

He was not surprised to find the shrunken Kudo Shinichi nearby, but he didn't expect that when he parted with Li Jia, she would still stay in the hotel and not leave.

Zhong Yuanzhong also blamed himself secretly. He should have explained the situation to her and asked her to leave the hotel immediately.

It's not about people who say that there is danger here, and troubles that may happen, and leave as soon as they find something.

Who would have thought that within an hour of the elevator failure, they would simply press the bomb to detonate after killing the target, and start bombing the bombs installed on each floor of the hotel one by one.

"...Mr. Zhongye?" Li Jia raised her eyelids softly and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't listen to your words and left earlier."

Zhong Yuanzhong also pursed his lips tightly: "No, it's all my fault."

He hugged her tightly and tightened his arms tightly, pressing the light and boneless girl tightly into his arms, he lowered his head and touched her sweaty forehead lightly: "Sorry, wait for me a little longer, I will definitely take you out of."

Li Jia's consciousness was empty, and she blinked slowly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that Mr. Zhongye today is a little different from before."

She took a small mouthful of breathing with difficulty, and her brain felt heavy and aching.

Leaning his head against Zhongyuan Zhongye's neck, he protected him tightly, and felt that the flames in front of him began to become distorted and ferocious.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned, he pursed his lips and jumped up and kicked the small window on the upper floor of the escape passage, protecting her head and face and hugging her and rushing out.

"...You can call me Chuya, I'm different from that guy."
