Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Chapter 466 Brotherly Hands Under the Ice Lake Crack

"Get down!" Officer Yamato shouted in a low voice, and suddenly grabbed Officer Yui's arm with his wrist. The two of them fell to the snow almost at the same time.

The next second, the homemade grenade hit the thick tree trunk and exploded! Sparks splashed into the snow like scattered meteors, making a "sizzling" sound.

The big tree that was blown up made a dull cracking sound, and its huge body fell down with a burst of snow dust. The sound of its branches sweeping across the snow made people's eardrums tremble.

"Let's go!" Officer Yamato grabbed Officer Yui, and the two of them didn't even bother to shake off the snow on their backs, and continued chasing in the ankle-deep snow.

The rope hidden in the snow suddenly tightened, Officer Yamato tripped, and lost his balance instantly - another grenade was triggered, drawing an arc in the snow and fog, and flew straight towards his face.

"Get out of the way!" He used all his strength to push Officer Yui away, but he was tripped by the rope and half-knelt on the ground, with no time to retreat.

Officer Yui was pushed and staggered back three or four steps, the soles of her boots leaving deep marks on the snow. She watched the grenade fly towards Officer Yamato, her heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't make a sound in her throat.

In the moment of life and death, Officer Yamato suddenly raised his gun and locked the muzzle firmly on the grenade in the air.

"Bang!" The moment the trigger was pulled, the bullet hit the mine accurately, exploding a ball of dazzling fire in mid-air, and the air wave carrying snow foam rushed towards the face.

However, at this imminent moment, the hooded man's gun was already pointed at Officer Yamato's wrist.

"Bang!" Another gunshot was heard, and Officer Yamato's pistol slipped out of his hand, hitting the snow with a clang and sliding a long distance.

The hooded man quickly adjusted the muzzle of his gun, aiming the barrel at Officer Yamato's chest again.

"Be careful!" Zhu Fu Gaoming's roar came from the side and rear. He rushed over and pushed Officer Yamato away.

The bullet grazed Zhu Fugaoming's calf, leaving a wound.

Zhu Fu Gaoming was carried by this force and rolled down the steep slope. When he was about to fall off the cliff, he suddenly threw his cell phone towards the edge of the cliff when his body was suspended in the air.

The positioning icon on the screen was making an emergency call, but the phone slid a short distance in the snow and was covered by thick snow, and then he fell into a snowdrift.

"Brother!" A shout was heard, and Zhufu Jingguang appeared at the edge of the cliff without him even having time to think. He pushed open the car door and jumped down, grabbing Zhufu Gaoming's wrist tightly in the air.

The brothers' tightly clasped hands swayed in the cold wind, and finally they fell into the icy lake under the cliff together. Huge splashes of water splashed on the snow, and were instantly frozen into fine ice chips by the cold wind.

Officer Yamato was lying on the edge of the cliff, with the snow up to his knees. He raised his head and shouted loudly to the people below: "Master!"

Officer Yui ran over and blocked Officer Yamato's way.

"This way!" Kogoro Mouri and Conan and others came following the sound.

Seeing this, the hooded man quickly turned around and dived into the dense forest, his figure soon disappearing among the shadows of the trees.

Maori Kogoro walked quickly to Officer Yamato and looked at him with a frown: "Officer Yamato, are you hurt?"

Officer Yamato shook his head, holding the ice crutch tightly in his right hand, staring at the hole on the ice lake below that was constantly emitting cold air, and said in a voice that was trembling with uncontrollable trembling: "Gao Ming fell in."

He found Zhu Fu Gaoming's cell phone from the snow pile and held it in his hand. The words "Emergency Notification Completed" on the screen hurt his eyes.

At the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters, the radio repeatedly broadcast: "We just received an emergency signal from the Investigation Section 1, Takaaki Morobushi, who has disappeared. We are unable to contact him by voice or text."

Mao Lilan heard the broadcast and looked towards the ice lake with concern, her hands unconsciously clenched: "Officer Morobushi..."

Dr. Agasa pushed his glasses up and sighed.

Haibara Ai and the three little ones all looked nervous.

Under the icy lake, the icy water pierced the Zhu Fu brothers like countless needles.

Zhu Fu Jingguang tried his best to lift his brother up, but Zhu Fu Gaoming's consciousness was a little blurred due to his leg injury and physical exhaustion, and his body kept sinking.

"Brother! Hold on! Don't fall asleep!" Zhu Fu Jingguang shouted anxiously. His voice was muffled underwater. He used all his strength to push his brother toward the surface of the water.

Zhu Fu Gaoming heard his brother's voice in a daze. The remaining consciousness made him open his eyes reluctantly. The last thought that flashed through his mind was still that sentence: "Life is mortal, and life is short."

Above the icy lake, the sun shines on the snow, casting a dazzling white light. But this light cannot dispel the anxiety between everyone's brows.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the cold hole on the lake surface, as if trying to find a glimmer of life in the icy silence.

Kudo Yuki looked at the messy footprints on the edge of the cliff. The door of the silver car not far away was still open. Her voice was filled with suppressed solemnity: "It seems that Yingchuan fell down with Officer Gao Ming."

"Kagekawa." Sato Miwako clenched her gloves. She and Ogino Ayami looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes.

Ogino Ayami quickly took out a first aid kit from her bag, and said with an imperceptible tremor in her voice: "Xiaoxue, we have to go down and take a look. The slope here is too steep, we need to find a rope."

"Wait." Kudo Yuki raised her hand and held her arm, her eyes sweeping across the fresh brake marks on the edge of the cliff.

"Mr. Yingchuan just drove here." Conan squatted down and gently pushed away the snow with his fingers. "The wheel marks are very deep, which means the car was going very fast when it braked suddenly. He must have rushed over when he heard the noise."

The unusual movement coming from the ice in the distance, the muffled sound of the ice breaking mixed with faint shouts, made everyone present feel their hearts sink suddenly.

"It's the direction of Gao Ming and Ying Chuan!" Officer Yamato's face suddenly changed. He clenched his ice crutch and rushed to the ice first. His heavy snow boots made a rapid squeaking sound as they stepped on the frozen snow. "Where are you? Gao Ming, answer me!"

Officer Takagi followed closely behind, shouting at the white surroundings: "Mr. Yingchuan, I hear a response!"

Maori Kogoro circled the place where the sound came from several times, put his hands to his mouth and shouted a few words, then squatted down and dug through the snow to check, and finally stood up and shook his head: "We didn't find them near the pit where we fell."

"What's under the snow?" Officer Yamato leaned on his crutch with one hand to steady his body, and his eyes swept over the scattered ice chips around him.

Officer Yui squatted down and tapped the ice under his feet, his voice filled with suppressed worry: "There's a glacier below... If you fall in, you might be washed away by the current."

Conan did not shout along, but while everyone was searching separately, he squinted his eyes and looked around, his gaze sweeping over the direction of the cracks in the ice, the messy footprints on the snow, and several piles of snow that had been deliberately kicked apart.

There must be clues hidden in these subtle traces.

Miwako Sato took two steps forward, her eyebrows furrowed, staring at the mobile phone locator of Yamato's assistant Morifu. "Is Officer Morifu's satellite positioning still not responding?"

Yamato Gansuke put the mobile phone locator back into the inner pocket of his winter jacket and rubbed his rough fingers on the frozen stubble: "The signal was completely cut off ten minutes ago. The ice is too thick and the signal can't penetrate."

"Damn it! This is so damn terrible!" Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists and smashed them hard on the tree trunk next to him, causing the snow on the bark to fall off.

Kudo Yuki stood behind the crowd, the frost on her eyelashes falling off as she blinked. She looked at the cracked ice on the lake and said silently in her heart: [Sign in.]

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today. You have gained +430 mall points and the Ice Breaking Help Card.

The current mall points are 9740, system space items: healing elixir, winery status information, winery base location distribution map, ice breaking rescue card. Please continue to sign in every day, Xiaoxue. "

The rat hiding deep in Officer Yamato's hood suddenly pricked up its ears, a hint of panic flashed in its round eyes, and its fat little paws grabbed the brim of the hat and poked its head out.

Kudo Yuki had told the officers to keep a close eye on Officer Yamato, but she had never said that even the Morobushi brothers would be involved.

System prompt: Spend 200 points to buy two lucky charms, are you sure?

Shushu's little head rubbed her fingers in the hood: [Xiaoxue, use the good luck charm, Officer Zhufu and the others will definitely be able to hold on. ]

Kudo Yuki clicked to confirm.

The two good luck charms turned into two imperceptible golden lights that entered the ice surface. Shushu grabbed the ice-breaking rescue card and pointed it toward the northwest. A light blue halo spread along the ice patterns.

Under the ice, the freezing lake water was madly robbing body temperature. Zhu Fu Jingguang gritted his teeth and grabbed his brother's wrist. The winter clothing became extremely heavy after absorbing water. Zhu Fu Gaoming's forehead hit the ice ridge, and the blood beads just appeared and were frozen into small red dots.

"Brother! Don't let go!" Jing Guang's voice was muffled in the water. He could feel his brother's strength slipping away. Just like when they were practicing drowning first aid in the police academy, Gao Ming always deliberately let him go.

Just when he was about to give up, a gentle but irresistible force suddenly supported the backs of both of them.

Zhu Fujingguang opened his eyes wide in surprise and saw his brother's lips turned purple from the cold. He seemed to want to say something. What was even more amazing was that the burning pain in his lungs miraculously eased a little - he could actually exhale short breaths in the water!

"Ahem!" The cold lake water slid down Zhu Fu Gaoming's lips, and the biting cold penetrated into his bones through his collar. He raised his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and his sight caught the familiar figure in the blurry water waves.

Zhu Fujingguang was being carried upward by an undercurrent. Broken spots of light were faintly visible under the ice, as if someone was rapidly knocking on the ice with something.

"Jingguang..." He called out in a low voice, and his fingertips felt the cold gun at his waist. Without any hesitation, Zhu Fu Gaoming raised his hand and pulled the trigger at the weakest point on the ice.

"boom!"

The moment the bullet penetrated the ice, more light emerged from the cracked spider web patterns.

The people on the ice rushed over at once. Yamato Ganzhu used his ice-nailed crutch to pound the edge of the hole: "There are two people down there! The ice is too thick, we can't break it!"

"Get out of the way!" Conan suddenly pulled off the football belt around his waist, and the inflated football slammed into the ice under the accelerated impact of special sneakers.

With a crisp sound, the cracks spread like a spider web, revealing a gap large enough for one person to pass through.

Kogoro Mouri rolled up his sleeves and was about to jump down.

Not long after, he surfaced carrying the unconscious Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Officer Takagi quickly reached out and pulled the man onto the ice, followed closely by Morobushi Takaaki, who was dragged up by Yamato Gansuke by the collar.

"Cough cough..." Zhu Fu Gaoming lay on the ice and coughed violently. Water droplets dripped down his wet hair and condensed into tiny ice crystals on the ground.

Zhu Fu Jingguang huddled on the side with a pale face, with tiny pieces of ice hanging on his eyelashes.

"At least you're still alive." Officer Takagi breathed a sigh of relief as he wrapped the two of them in a towel.

Ogino Ayami came over with a first aid kit, her eyes lingering on Kagekawa Raku's face for a moment, then turned to Kudo Yuki who had just arrived: "It seems that we still have to rely on your family's intelligence network, otherwise we won't be able to find this ice cave."

"This place is not far from the barbecue hut on the mountainside," Uehara Yui squatted down to check on the Morobushi brothers. The skin her fingertips touched was frighteningly cold. She immediately looked up and said to the people around her, "Move them over there first. At least they can avoid the wind. Then find a way to contact for support."

"I'll go over and clear the area first!" Officer Takagi reacted immediately and carefully supported Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was still a little conscious.

His body was still shaking uncontrollably, and his wet sweater stuck to his back, outlining his thin outline.

Officer Gao Mu deliberately slowed down his pace and said to comfort him softly: "It's okay, we'll be somewhere warm soon."

Sato Miwako and Ogino Ayami held Morobushi Takaaki on the left and right. His uniform jacket had long been soaked by ice water, and there were still tiny pieces of ice on the dark fabric.

The usually calm police officer Nagano half-closed his eyes, coughing continuously from his throat, but still muttered in a daze: "Kagemitsu..."

In the black car, Yuya Kazami was whispering a report into the headset. When he heard the word "Keimitsu", his fingers paused suddenly.

He looked through the car window at the two figures being supported. His gaze stayed on the pale face of Morobushi Keimitsu for a moment, then quickly turned to Kudo Yuki standing beside him, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Kudo Yuki tapped rapidly on the special communicator with her fingertips, and the encrypted signal penetrated the magnetic field interference of the mountain area and connected directly to the Mt. Miho Fire Headquarters.

Within ten minutes, the sound of a snowmobile engine tore through the silence.

"Hurry! Over here!" Officer Takagi waved his arms, his face full of anxiety.

The rescue team members were wearing non-slip boots and the ice was squeaking. They quickly spread out a thermal blanket wrapped with a heating plate, and put their hands in thick gloves through the armpits of the Zhufu brothers and moved the two men horizontally onto the stretcher.

Zhu Fugaoming wanted to raise his hand to touch his brother's cheek, but his arm felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and he could only let the broken breath escape from his throat.

"Danger..." Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyelashes moved when the stretcher shook, but in the end he only spat out a mouthful of lake water with icy chips.

"Don't talk!" Zhu Fu Gaoming suddenly tensed his body, his hoarse voice filled with unquestionable urgency, his eyes filled with fear and pity.

Two stretchers were carried onto the rescue vehicle, and Officer Yui also sat on it to accompany them. The door of the vehicle closed with a muffled sound, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
