A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

"Hiratsuka?" The childish voice called out to her in an anxious and mature tone.

In that dazzling beam of light, Izumi Hiratsuka finally saw the outline in front of him clearly.That voice was not an auditory hallucination, Conan was actually standing in front of her.

"...Ku...Kudo-kun?" She called the other party's name, but it seemed that she was struggling to speak, and her originally clear voice became sickly hoarse due to her physical discomfort.

With Conan's help, Izumi Hiratsuka climbed out of the oak barrel that imprisoned her.She felt that she should have been in a coma for a long time, and her whole body was filled with a sense of incongruity that was not controlled by her brain.

The moment her feet hit the ground, she couldn't support herself and fell to the ground.

"Why is Kudo-kun here?"

The girl's voice was weak, and it was not hard to tell that she was in a very bad state.Conan held her palm and found that the other's slender palm was not much bigger than his palm in the child's body.

Thinking of the blood on the oak barrel, Conan was still worried: "Are you injured?"

"Hmm... But it shouldn't be a big problem." Izumi Hiratsuka shook her head to indicate that she was fine, and then she asked the question just now again, "Why is Kudo-kun here?"

Conan also wanted to ask the same question, why is Izumi Hiratsuka here.

"Hiratsuka, what happened before this?" Conan squeezed the girl's hand tightly, worried that the other party would hide something, he hurriedly added, "Can you tell me everything? If you find out the situation, We have a chance to escape."

Izumi Hiratsuka quickly got an overview of the situation in the limited light range, and many oak barrels containing wine, including herself, also climbed out of the barrels just now.

Is this Belmode's plan?Before the memory fragment, she heard Belmod imitate her voice, which completely hinted at her that Belmod would disguise herself as her.

It also reflects what Belmode said, that Chablis is still useful.

it works?The use is nothing more than to lead Kudo Shinichi.So what if Izumi Hiratsuka figured out this plan, the great detective was still standing here, lured by her bait.

"Kudou-kun should have seen the email, right?"

"Ah, um... I see." Conan paused for half a second, then sighed with emotion, "You really did it."

Izumi Hiratsuka also sighed, and even laughed a little: "In the end, Kudo-kun still appeared in front of me, it really is Kudo-kun's style..."

"what?"

"Didn't escape as said in the email."

"Are you an idiot?" Conan said bluntly, "How could I escape?"

Yes, how could Mr. Sherlock Holmes of Heisei escape?Hiratsuka Izumi also thought of this possibility.Now that this possibility has happened, she is actually a little happy in her heart.

"Then how did Kudo-kun find this place?" Izumi Hiratsuka didn't know where this place was.

"After you left, I went to Kanagawa to meet with Liu, retrieved your computer from him, and analyzed the computer to get the address. Previously, the FBI was chasing you, and the investigators I knew also shared clues with me. "

Izumi Hiratsuka would have expected the FBI to be involved, but she still felt something was wrong.It's right that her computer should not be here. It's correct that she locates the place where she was locked up for two years.

"Now... what's the situation?" Hiratsuka Izumi didn't understand the situation.

"The exit was blocked."

After getting this answer, Izumi Hiratsuka pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds: "I think...we fell into a trap."

Transferred her from that confinement glass room here, and led Kudo Shinichi here, and finally sealed the exit...

This is to kill the two of them in one breath...

"Kudou-kun, the investigator who gave you the address may... be Belmod. Belmod is also involved in this plan."

"what?"

If it was a fake address, it would explain why Judy, who had already undertaken the investigation task, did not show up here.Because their destination was not here at all, this place was just a trap set up with Izumi Hiratsuka as bait.

Conan knew that Belmode was dispatched. After all, this witch of thousands of transformations had appeared once in the disguise of Izumi Hiratsuka.As for being able to pretend to be Judy to lie to him again, it was probably because the FBI was using the FBI to investigate Hiratsuka Izumi that night to lure Judy out.

This plan has been a serial set from the beginning.

The "hooked up" that Belmode said refers to the FBI investigator who took the baited, that is, Judy Stein.Only when Judy takes the bait can the next step of the cross-dressing plan continue.

"I want to understand... Belmode's whole plan..."

Conan felt that he only figured it out at this time, and it was too late.He and Izumi Hiratsuka have fallen into a dangerous situation, how to escape alive is the top priority right now.

In the darkness, the eyes of the two intertwined, and the two who thought of the same result exchanged eyes again.

Izumi Hiratsuka took Conan's hand and stood up with strength. If the organization's plan was to erase everything without leaving a trace, it would definitely not be as simple as locking people in the wine cellar.

Conan also thought of this, he took off the watch flashlight and stuffed it into Izumi Hiratsuka's hand, who also cooperated with holding the only light source.

He opened those abandoned oak barrels one by one, even though he had some points in his heart.But after opening the wine barrel and seeing the contents inside, I was still shocked.

In this row of oak barrels, except for the last barrel containing Izumi Hiratsuka, all of them were bombed without exception.That amount is enough to blow up the entire wine cellar and even the bar above.

But there is another problem, how to support so many bombs exploding at the same time in a closed wine cellar with insufficient supplies?Moreover, the only entrance has been sealed as Conan said.

Then there is only one possibility, there are other vents in this wine cellar, otherwise these bombs will lose the meaning of existence at all.

"There should be other vents here," said Hiratsuka Izumi.

Theoretically, there should be other vents. As for where it is and how hidden it is, it will take time to find it.

Conan nodded in agreement with the inference, and he took it into consideration.And there is also evidence that there must be other entrances to the wine cellar than the one through which he came in.

Because there is no trace of anyone coming to the bar above, the thick dust must have accumulated for a long time and no one has passed by.But to put so many bombs into oak barrels, and even throw Hiratsuka Izumi here, there will inevitably be a lot of traces.

"Hiratsuka, sit down and rest. Let me find the possible exit."

The childish voice is lowered, and the words spoken are so reliable that they can also have a soothing effect in such a situation.

Izumi Hiratsuka took the flashlight Conan gave her and sat down leaning against one of the oak barrels.She listened to Conan's instructions, and held up the flashlight to shine where the other party wanted to look.

The unhealed gunshot wound on the calf seemed to be cracked again, she reached out to touch it, and the bandage wrapped around it revealed warm moisture.The strength of the body that was about to be exhausted was also constantly stimulating the brain, but Hiratsuka Izumi did not speak.

At a time like this, it would be good to place all your trust and hope on that great detective.Sure enough, Kudo Shinichi is a bright light full of hope to her.

"Kudo-kun found me this time, it was both my accident and what I expected."

Her voice was very soft, not only because of the original voice, but also because she didn't have the strength to say too many words.In the empty and closed wine cellar, it is set off with an ethereal texture.

The atmosphere, which was obviously extremely tense, seemed to have been broken by some kind of shackles.Conan glanced in the direction of the light source. Behind the strong light was the silhouette of a girl, and he couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Why did you say that suddenly?" Conan asked suspiciously.

"Probably...the last confession before death?"

"Hey, hey..." Conan was speechless for a while, "Don't give up casually."

"I didn't give up casually..." At the end of the sentence, Izumi Hiratsuka's tone weakened.

Of course she didn't give up casually. If she really gave up, when she left Kudou House and was being watched, she would not have chosen to struggle in vain to escape, and was hit in the calf.If she didn't want to come out alive, why did she deliberately leave traces that would be discovered by the FBI, and even tried to knock open the vodka...

It's just that in the end, she is too fragile to be vulnerable.Like an ant, it can be easily crushed to death anytime and anywhere.

"Speaking of which, Hiratsuka."

"Ok?"

"When I was in junior high school, I remembered some things related to you in junior high school." Conan began to talk about things other than the incident, which seemed to ease the atmosphere, and it was rare that Izumi Hiratsuka could speak alone The opportunity, of course, is to say what you have.

"Huh?" Izumi Hiratsuka was a little surprised that Conan would mention this.This was really beyond her expectations.

"The photo you left, I seem to remember it. I did go to a game for the football team when I was in the third year of junior high school."

"Then...should I...should I say something like 'I'm so touched that you can remember'." Hiratsuka Izumi teased.

"Hello..."

When talking about this, Conan felt that Izumi Hiratsuka was much gentler than the gentle mask he had seen before. Perhaps what he was exposed to now was the real emotion of the other party.

He continued: "Well, although I still don't remember many things clearly, I still remember some things."

He remembered a lot of the past related to that photo, and at a certain moment, the impression of Izumi Hiratsuka in junior high school became clear in his mind.

"Ah... I seem to have found the exit."

The author has something to say: After a late night snack, I found that I can still write.

Then complete today's update in advance√

I still think I can finish the next chapter.

I'm going to say it a few more times, and you'll get used to it by the time it's really over.
