Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard again in the distance.

Vermouth suddenly opened her eyes.

A young man wearing an experimental hospital gown ran towards me barefoot and hurriedly.

He had just turned back into a young boy's body, and his face was still a little pale with pain, but his deep blue eyes were as firm and bright as before.

The young man didn't look at the astonishment and confusion in the woman's eyes. He ran to her and tried hard to lift the iron plate on her body. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Hurry up--"

Vermouth also hurriedly tried to lift it up—

Finally, the iron plate showed obvious ups and downs, and with the lubricating effect of water, Vermouth took a deep breath and tried to force herself to squeeze out. Finally, with the joint efforts of the two, she actually squeezed out of the gap!

"Bam—"

The iron plate fell heavily under the water, splashing a lot of water. Kudo Shinichi held his knees and gasped for breath. His face began to turn red and his forehead was covered with sweat. He looked very uncomfortable.

Vermouth touched her waist inconspicuously, realizing that she might have fractured her lumbar vertebrae in the struggle just now. However, she did not show it. Instead, she wiped the sweat off Kudo Shinichi's face and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, just some side effects. I'll be fine after a short rest."

Kudo Shinichi said while panting and waving his hands.

Vermouth looked at the young man in front of her with mixed emotions. Her lips moved for a long time before she finally said, "You saved me twice."

Kudo Shinichi was a little surprised: "Twice?"

Vermouth stared at him deeply and said firmly, "Yes, twice."

Kudo Shinichi was very puzzled. He searched his mind but had no memory of the first time. Just as he was about to continue asking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the distance again.

"Conan? Conan? Are you there?"

Kudo Shinichi recognized the voice of Officer Hagiwara and quickly turned his head and responded loudly: "I'm here, I'm here!"

The footsteps were getting closer. Kudo Shinichi turned around and wanted to ask Vermouth to go with them, but found that there was no one behind him.

——Vermouth left silently!

"Conan—eh? Are you Kudo Shinichi?"

Hagiwara Kenji looked at the boy in front of him in astonishment.

"I am Conan." Kudo Shinichi quickly revealed his identity and did not have time to care about Vermouth. "Inspector Morobushi and Mr. Amuro both know about this."

Hagiwara Kenji wasn't afraid that Kudo Shinichi would lie to him. He simply strode forward, looking him up and down in surprise, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be Kudo Shinichi! Is this still the world I know?"

The teenager becomes a child, and the child becomes a teenager?

He really had tuned into the wrong channel!

Kudo Shinichi smiled helplessly: "Officer Hagiwara, let's evacuate first. We can talk about it later if there is anything else."

Hagiwara Kenji didn't hesitate and directly led Conan downstairs to evacuate: "Well, let's go quickly, the elevator is about to collapse..."

As the two figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, Vermouth turned out from the other side.

Looking at the direction they disappeared, Vermouth lowered her eyes and stood quietly for a long time, then suddenly chuckled.

"This is him..."

The boy and girl who extended a helping hand to her without hesitation late that night in London have never changed from beginning to end.

The woman turned and limped away into the corridor.

——Her light finally brought hope at this last moment, didn’t it?

Then live well...

-

On the sea, Jinpei Matsuda paced back and forth anxiously.

"We should evacuate too," Feng Jianyu calmly analyzed from the side. "This ship is no longer safe. The elevator column keeps pulling the ship to one side. If more and more water comes in from below, the ship will capsize soon!"

Once it capsizes, the boat will be dragged into the water very quickly!

For safety reasons, they must prepare to evacuate.

"You guys go, I want to stay." Matsuda Jinpei answered decisively.

"No, Officer Matsuda, please cooperate with us." Kazami Yuya was rarely assertive. "If something bad happened down there, the boat would be dragged down quickly. You wouldn't have time to react, not to mention you're injured!"

Jinpei Matsuda looked down at his bandaged left arm and for the first time he was angry at himself for not doing enough. He frowned and thought for a moment, and finally turned around and placed the unused bomb in the elevator cabin to ensure that people who came later could see it and use it.

——Although he hoped that Hagi and the others would not be able to use it.

"Let's go."

He said to Yuya Kazami.

The situation was already very chaotic at this time, and he shouldn't cause trouble for others.

Thinking of his classmates who were still down there, Matsuda Jinpei clenched his fists and muttered softly:

"You must come up safely. Your life is more important than the prisoner—"

-

"Zero, did you find it?"

Zhu Fushigi Kagemitsu reunited with Furuya Rei, who shook his head regretfully: "No, there's no sign of Gin anywhere."

"Could he have already escaped?"

Zhu Fujingguang was a little worried.

"That shouldn't happen. There's only one way to leave here. If he wants to leave, he'll definitely take the elevator." Furuya Rei denied.

"boom--"

The floor beneath their feet began to crack, and a large amount of sea water poured in from the cave. Zhu Fu Jingguang and Jiang Gu Ling looked at each other, turned decisively, and ran towards the elevator.

At this moment, the sea water has flooded to the fifth floor. Only the elevator shaft in the center has not been flooded. However, the elevator entrance in the lower part is obviously no longer accessible, so they can only continue to run upstairs.

"Morofushikage, Mr. Amuro! Quick! Come over here!"

On the seventh floor, Kudo Shinichi leaned out and waved at them.

Kenji Hagiwara leaned over and slid down the railing next to him to check for signs of cracks on the platform.

Since the entire fortress is tilted in one direction, the elevator column has now moved away from its original position and is leaning towards the outer corridor opposite. The platform that was originally connected to the elevator column has already broken at this moment.

If they want to get to the elevator, the best way is to jump to the fault platform on the opposite side. After all, because of the tilt angle, the two platforms are no longer at the same height, but one is high and the other is low. As long as they have a strong run-up, they can jump farther by jumping from a high place to a low place.

Kenji Hagiwara lowered his head to look at the fault over there, then looked at the rapidly rising water level below, silently estimating the distance and time in his mind.

Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu also successfully reached the seventh floor and reunited with Hagiwara Kenji and Conan.

"Our people have already gone up. Aside from some stubborn resistance, we're the only ones left here," Hagiwara Kenji said. "Let's get going!"

Furuya Rei was still thinking about Gin, but since things had come to this point, he didn't force it: "Okay, let's go first."

The group ran and jumped to the platform and then to the elevator, waiting for the elevator to arrive.
