Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Xiao Ai started peeling potatoes. In addition to grilling, she also planned to cook curry and rice.

After a while, Winnet had already cut the potatoes, carrots and beef into pieces, but they hadn't come back yet. Thinking that with Edogawa there, they probably wouldn't get lost, but there was a possibility that they were separated. Thinking that maybe Conan's "halo of bad luck" was acting up, she thought it would be better to take the initiative to look for them.

"Doctor, it's bad enough that you can't cook, but you can't even cut vegetables like this."

What was placed in front of Ai was a thickened and broken version of the straw raincoat potato.

"I don't want you to be so long-winded!"

Dr. Agasa started to act arrogantly.

Xiao Ai sullenly began to do the secondary processing. At this time, the detective armband on the backpack piled next to the tent made a faint sound. Winnett, who had been planning to help, came over and took one.

She heard Conan calling "Haibara".

"Winnett, what are you doing?" Xiao Ai asked.

"I heard movement in the detective armband. Kudo is calling you."

"Then you answer it for me. I think they must have gone somewhere and gotten into trouble," she replied.

Winette took off her badge and pressed the talk button.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"It's Miss Winnet!"

"Very good……"

"We are saved."

The three little ones were talking to each other and she couldn't figure out the situation.

"Hurry up and tell her we are in danger..."

Conan was breathing heavily, and his voice was obviously wrong. Winnett had a good sense of voice and could read the pain in his voice from the tremor.

He must have been injured.

But what is the situation now? Conan continued to explain in a trembling voice, telling her that they encountered bank robbers who came to bury the body in a nearby stalactite cave, and asked her to borrow tracking glasses from Dr. Agasa and call the police. Now, she also realized how dangerous the situation was, even though it was too unbelievable.

Even in the wilderness, you can still encounter criminals. The effect of this stance halo is too strong.

……

473 Heaven Doesn't Accept Conan

It's getting late.

Winnet immediately took action and asked Dr. Agasa for a copy of the detective glasses. During this process, she told the two about Edogawa and others, so they decided to act separately. Dr. Agasa drove to a place with better signal to inform the police. Ai put on the detective glasses to help Winnett find the way, while Winnett rummaged through the bag of cooking tools and found some things that had nothing to do with kitchen utensils, a pistol and a strange black blade. Seeing that she was carrying such a dangerous thing, Ai wanted to warn her, but considering the current situation, this is indeed a powerful weapon.

"Did you foresee that this might happen?"

"No," Winette said, "It's just a safety measure. Things haven't been very peaceful recently. Even the boss sent me an email, asking me to cooperate with Gin and the others. So, don't let the detective boy jump too much recently."

"But what's wrong with the organization? It's better not to say anything than to reveal so little. It doesn't make any sense except to make me nervous and suspicious." She added helplessly, "I can't stop him from getting into trouble. You've seen it. Now is the best example. What are you going to do? Shoot the criminals he mentioned? Maybe by the time we find them, there will be children taken hostage."

Her advice was to be safe, thinking that with Edogawa around, it should be okay to delay until the police arrived.

Normally, she is right. Conan has the ability, and he has an anesthetic needle and a foot sling. Based on past experience, he can always conquer the criminal in unexpected ways, but this time is different. He was injured but did not fall into the hands of the murderer. It is most likely a gunshot wound. He can still speak, so his lungs should not be injured. Although it is a non-fatal injury, he will fail due to blood loss if left alone. If he is lucky enough to be grateful to God this time, I hope he can learn from his lesson in the future.

She told Xiao Ai the estimated situation. Now her expression became serious, her brows knitted together, and she hurriedly turned on the tracking function of the glasses.

As expected, Edogawa had already activated the small transmitter.

If you can receive the signal, it means the distance is not far.

Xiao Ai pointed in the direction and ran. She was breathing rapidly because the criminals' purpose was obvious, they wanted to kill all the children who witnessed the incident at any cost.

"It must be more than just burying the bodies," she said. "They must be desperate criminals, otherwise they wouldn't be so reckless. What did he tell you? How many people are there?"

Winnet shook her head. Conan did not describe the situation in detail. Maybe it was because he had no strength to speak, or maybe it was because the criminals were approaching. He probably did not expect that she did not need to borrow the power of the police and wanted to rescue them as soon as possible.

"it's here."

There was a cave in front of the stone forest surrounded by trees, a stalactite cave that was unknown whether it was natural. Before entering, Xiao Ai saw the words engraved on a large stone at the entrance.

"Wait a minute." She called Winnet. "Wandering son of darkness, head toward the auspicious dragon road, and then the heavens will bless you with glory... There is also a big hiragana TO. It seems that they think this is a place to bury treasures." She wrote down this text and was about to cross the "No Entry" sign, but was stopped by Winnet.

She smiled at Ai and said, "Hide around here in case those guys find you when they escape. Don't go inside, they probably have guns."

"You want me to watch you go and take risks alone?" she said unhappily.

"Adventure? No, that's not right! This is a one-sided massacre." said Winnet.

She didn't take these seemingly dangerous fugitives seriously at all, and she didn't hold them in confidence, but in contempt, just like slapping a few mosquitoes to death on a midsummer night - she said - the darkness was her absolute territory, and even the trial could not do anything to her.

Winnet's voice, like a sound of discussing insects, echoed in Xiao Ai's ears. She compromised with this voice that was so quiet and a little scary. She knew that following in would only be a burden, and she didn't want to see Winnet kill people with her own hands, although she didn't think she would do that. She was the most skilled killer, like a ghost lurking in the darkness, with an incredible resume. It was a piece of cake for her to bury people in graves or leave their heads outside. But she was also a sin that she could never atone for. It might be better to step on the head of a malicious person. She saw Winnet roll over and enter the cave, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't even hear the sound of her movement.

The cave entrance was very spacious, and the view was not as bad as she thought. This made the risk almost zero, and there would be no narrow passages or guns. She prayed for them in a low voice, asking God to have mercy on these innocent children. She never mentioned herself, but only entrusted the lives of others to God's will, and prayed that God would forgive her offense.

Winnet prayed sincerely but did not slow down.

With the ability she had developed over more than a decade, she accurately calibrated her direction and pace, sketched out the floor plan of the cave in her mind, and measured its width. When she walked into a new and spacious space, she found that she had stepped on something foreign, picked it up and touched it, and it turned out to be a cigarette filter.

Going further in, it’s very deep.

No wonder it took them so long.

This stalactite cave is larger than she expected. If there is a fork in the road, it will greatly increase the search time. Although Xiao Ai has tracking glasses, the signal from the transmitter cannot reach the level of long-distance communication due to the depth. Her intuition tells her that she must race against time and go from wide to narrow, assuming that there is only one road ahead.

"Almost an hour has passed..."

She calculated.

No wonder there is a danger sign at the entrance of the cave. The danger is not in the stalactite cave, but in the cave itself, which is huge and complex. If you are not well prepared, you may get trapped inside.

So she started running again, using the direction of the cave entrance as a reference, and tried to move diagonally to reach the deepest point in the shortest time. However, this method soon paid off, and Winnet found blood on a rock. The blood had dried up and was patchy, so she judged that Conan was hit in the back.

After confirming the direction was correct, Winette continued to fast forward. At the next intersection, there was a Y-shaped fork.

Winette was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to choose one of the three options. There were three possibilities: the murderer was led by Conan to another passage, the murderer and Conan took the same passage, or the murderer took the wrong passage but turned back and took another one. No matter which option you choose, there is a possibility of missing out.

It would be nice if there were markings.

she thought.

However, just like those strange favors, luck was on her side again. When she was undecided, she suddenly heard the sound of running from the depths of the passage. It was the sound of leather shoes, clattering, the sonorous and powerful footsteps of an adult man, even too hard, mixed with invisible anger. In this way, she was sure that this was the third situation, that is, the correct path was the one on her right hand side, and the self-inflicted Edogawa was dying waiting for the angel's mercy.

However, there is no seat for him in heaven.

Because the devil came to take him.

……

474 Strong!

The footsteps are getting closer.

Winnett stood sideways, and soon, the first figure emerged from the edge.

In the moment when his body was not stable at the moment of turning, a hazy and elusive shadow flashed by and hit the wonderful chessboard of his brain heavily, making it dully connected to the ground. He could not think because he did not see who attacked him.

A ghost.

Like the tail of a windbreaker swaying, she stepped sideways on the concave rock wall. Winnett's two legs were stuck on the head of another dark-skinned sturdy man. The moment the third man raised his gun, she fell backwards, hanging upside down on the dark-skinned man's back, making it impossible for the third man to aim.

The man with a square face, a mustache and shoulder-length hair was furious. He tried to get around the sturdy body, but Winette, who was agile, exerted force on her waist, straightened up like a spring, and spun in the air, letting her legs straighten to normal, and kicked the dark man's shoulder. At the moment when the man was about to raise the gun, the black metal wire was wrapped around the barrel. Winette grabbed the rope and pulled it slightly, causing the muzzle to deflect and the bullet hit the solid rock wall.

The contraction device on the waist was activated, and the man who was unwilling to let go of the gun was pulled. Winnett fell behind her, and the rope also tightened around the man's neck.

She slowly withdrew her strength.

Uh-huh.

The man's face flushed, and he grabbed the rope with one hand, but it was useless. He had to let go of the pistol, causing one end of the rope to lose its connection.

Winnet had anticipated his move. She let the rope continue to hang out, and the man fell forward as if he had been electrocuted. Winnet took out a dagger and hit his Achilles tendon, using force, several times in a row, breaking it.

The dark-skinned man was terrified and subconsciously tried to pick up the gun on the ground.

Winette ignored him.

Because the distance is too close.

As he trembled and raised the muzzle of the gun, which was as dark as the cave, Winnett dodged and ran into his arms. With her left hand, she lifted up his forearm holding the gun, and with her right hand, she punched him in the abdomen.

The dark-skinned man vomited bile.

Seeing him kneeling on the ground holding his stomach, Winnet showed no mercy. She had reserved her strength in the previous punch so as not to cause serious damage to his internal organs. She raised her foot and kicked him on the shoulder; when he fell to the ground, she kicked him on the chest a few more times and warned him:

"Your ribs are broken. If you don't want to put your life in danger, you'd better not move."

As for the square-faced man, she felt that there was no need to warn him. He could no longer walk, and considering the size of the cave, he would have to climb for at least five or six hours to get back to the entrance. The one she had knocked to the ground at first… let’s call him the pockmarked man with bangs. Half of his face was covered in blood, and he had fainted. She thought that he would only need a few stitches and a slight concussion. In order to prevent him from moving around after waking up, Winette picked up the square-faced man’s gun and fired a shot, avoiding the artery.

Immediately, she pointed the gun at the dark-skinned man again.

"Do you have any other accomplices? If so, hum them, one hum at a time. If you lie to me, I will put this thing in your mouth."

The kind-hearted Miss Winnet asked questions because he might suffer pneumothorax from speaking.

The dark-skinned man said nothing.

Stay still for a moment.

"Don't worry, the friendly police will take you to the hospital."

She left these words and walked towards another passage.

……

At the same time, the Junior Detective Team and Conan were confused at the five forks in the road at the end of the road.

"Then, let's go in and take a look one by one." Mitsuhiko suggested.

At this time, Conan, who was shot, was lying on Genta's back, dying. His brain was working rapidly, thinking of the words recorded on the pebbles before entering the stalactite cave.

"No, there is only one way to get in..." he said, "Just now on the stone it said, 'Wanderer wandering in the darkness', refers to people who have lost their way; 'The light from heaven shines upon you', refers to the light of the exit, which means that the stone at the entrance and the rock are both engraved with the way out of this stalactite cave. The exit is the auspicious dragon road, and this road is..."

Conan raised his finger.

But not fully lifted.

I fainted halfway through.

At the same time, the three children heard footsteps.

"It's over, they're chasing us!" Yuan was too panicked.

"How to do?"

The three of them were at a loss, but they knew they could not stay where they were, so they went to the innermost passage. It turned out that there was no passage there, but just a narrow U-shaped hole, barely enough for them to hide.

Footsteps are approaching.

The three little ones huddled together uncomfortably. They usually relied on Conan and the others, but now that they had lost their backbone, they were completely helpless. Ayumi said that now they could only rely on their own thinking to find the auspicious dragon road - the real exit. Mitsuhiko tried to deduce, and the first one was dragon, thinking it was the order represented by the first letters of the English letters, and it turned out that the fourth one was this pit. At this time, Genta recalled what Conan said when he was awake: chicken eggs, Katakana TO, and dragon.

Ayumi regretfully mentioned that she knew better about snakes. Her grandmother in the countryside knew a lot about snakes, and that snakes loved to eat eggs.

Mitsuhiko immediately thought of the diagram of the twelve zodiac signs.

Using chicken eggs to represent snakes, T0 to represent chickens, and dragons to represent auspicious dragons, according to the order of the twelve zodiac signs, it represents the first path. However, Ayumi objected, saying that chicken eggs are closer to chickens than snakes. Mitsuhiko also thought of the rabbit's Mao hour, which is somewhat similar to the word "egg", and Ayumi reminded him that it would be more reasonable for chickens to lay eggs. Such ambiguous reasoning is definitely not correct, so Mitsuhiko gave up the idea of ​​the zodiac.

"Then the only thing they have in common is that they are all one word."

"What are you talking about? Chicken eggs are clearly two words."

Genta talked about the stupid thing he did when he pronounced tamagoyaki as prince-yaki in a restaurant, and Ayumi agreed that eggs are generally called tamagoyaki. Mitsuhiko listed them in his detective notebook, and an idea flashed.

"If I'm not mistaken, this hint might be Shogi." He reasoned, "Behind the infantry is TO, and behind the chariot is the Dragon King. Add to that what Genta said, that the chicken egg represents Jade, then it refers to the move of King Shogi."

"What is a king general?"

"When playing chess, the person who is about to checkmate will use the king. If the chicken egg indicates the position of the king, then the order is gold, silver, laurel horse, and fragrant chariot. The passage in front of the laurel horse is the flying chariot."

The chicken eggs are the big rocks in front of these roads, and behind the flying car is the Dragon King, which is the Auspicious Dragon Road.

The correct answer is the passage diagonally opposite this cave.

"Oh, Mitsuhiko is really smart."

"Hey, it's nothing."

After replying subconsciously, Mitsuhiko suddenly realized. Ayumi and Genta beside him also reacted and confirmed that Winnet was here in a panic. Moreover, they tried to pull her over in a panic, saying that the bad guys were nearby and it was very dangerous. At this time, Miss Winnet straightened her chest, which was not worthy of pride.
