Chapter 873 The Missing Children
In the campground.
Yuya and Miyano Shiho have already built the temporary stove and barbecue grill, and the ingredients such as the barbecue skewers have also been prepared. They just need to wash some vegetables.
As the saying goes, when men and women work together, the work becomes less tiring, and they quickly prepared the ingredients needed for dinner.
Now we just have to wait for the little brats to come back with firewood so we can make a fire and cook.
Just as Yuya was lying on the recliner, immersed in the world of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", he suddenly felt the light above his head dim.
He raised his face against the sunlight and saw a familiar face - Sera Masumi was looking down at him with a smile.
Yuya sat up in surprise: "Sera-san, why are you here?" Looking at her hand, she was holding a big shopping bag with a lot of bread, milk and other things in it.
Masumi Sera smiled and said, "I came to Gunma Prefecture to see the hydrangeas. I didn't expect to see a familiar sports car when I arrived at the campsite. I wondered if it was you, but I didn't expect it to be true."
She looked around, her eyes fell on the table, and she pinched her chin and analyzed: "You brought so much food, there should be more than just the two of you, right?"
Although he didn't know why Sera Masumi was here, Yuya nodded and said, "Yes, Mio and I took Conan, Genta and the others out camping, and we also took the opportunity to appreciate the hydrangeas."
"Ah, that's a great coincidence!" Sera Masumi smiled brightly, "Do you mind if I join you?"
Yuya looked at her deeply and said, "Of course, one more person means more fun."
Masumi Sera seemed unaware of the deep meaning in Yuya's eyes and put her food aside very naturally.
At this time, Miyano Shiho came over and said with a worried look on her face: "Yuya, have Conan and the others been gone for too long? It's been more than two hours. The cell phone signal is too bad, and the call can't go through."
Youye glanced at the time. He was so busy reading a novel that he didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
"What's wrong?" Sera Masumi walked over and looked around casually, "By the way, where did Conan and the others go?"
Yuya said solemnly, "He and Genta went to collect firewood. It's been two hours."
Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned serious: "It's been a bit too long, isn't it?"
Youya said, "I thought so too. I was just about to go to the woods to look for someone."
"I am coming too!"
So the three of them set off towards the forest together.
"Conan! Genta! Ayumi! Mitsuhiko! Where are you?"
"Answer me if you hear anything, Conan!"
The three of them shouted Conan and the others' names loudly while searching carefully in the woods, but they still could not find any trace of the children.
We unexpectedly discovered some footprints left by children, most likely left by Conan and his friends.
So they followed the footprints and continued searching.
But the forest was overgrown with weeds, and as they were children, it was very difficult to find footprints.
Hmm? Sera Masumi suddenly noticed something and turned to look somewhere.
Yuya tried hard to find footprints on the ground, and suddenly found a ring on a slightly bare piece of ground.
He hurried over, picked it up and saw that it was actually the ticket ring for the Suzuki Express!
Yuya's face changed instantly. Oh no, his bad premonition came true.
I knew long ago that I couldn’t let Conan, the god of death, take the lead.
"Hey, look over there, why are there policemen in the deep mountains?" Sera Masumi shouted and walked forward.
Yuya and Miyano Shiho looked in the direction that Sera Masumi was moving, and saw two policemen standing by a pit not far away, looking down.
The three of them ran over quickly and saw a body wrapped in a sleeping bag in the pit.
Youya ran to the police and asked anxiously, "Two officers, what happened?"
One of the police officers replied: "We received a report of a crime not long ago, and we found the body when we came here."
You also vaguely guessed something: "What kind of police call?"
"The person who reported the case said that near the sign warning of snakes, there was a man burying a woman's body. From the sound of the voice, it sounded like a little boy."
"what?!"
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed.
···
There is a small wooden house standing in the mountain.
"Rustle, rustle..." There was a slight movement coming from inside.
"How is it?" Yuan Tai asked in a low voice.
Mitsuhiko leaned against the door and listened for a while: "There is no movement outside, the man should not have caught up for the time being."
Yuan Tai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we have already bolted the door. Even if Godzilla comes, he can't get in!"
Mitsuhiko sighed slightly: "I hope so."
Ayumi grabbed Conan's arm and asked fearfully, "Conan, you still can't contact Brother Yuya?"
Conan looked at the phone screen and sighed, "No, the signal is too bad to make a call. But don't worry, I've called the police, and they will soon go to the pit and find the body, and then they will search the mountain."
“We just have to hold on until then.”
Ayumi was a little puzzled: "You couldn't get through the phone, so how did you call the police?"
The knowledgeable little adult immediately stepped forward to explain: "Ayumi, it's like this. In an emergency, you can call 110 even if your cell phone has no signal."
Conan nodded: "That's right, but the communication situation is still affected by the signal. I can only go through the signs everywhere saying there are snakes. There are people burying bodies nearby. It will take time for the police to find us."
Ayumi grabbed Conan's arm in fear and asked in a trembling voice: "We won't be killed to silence us, right?"
"Kill, kill to silence him?" Mitsuhiko and Genta immediately showed expressions of horror.
Conan quickly comforted him: "It's okay, Brother Yuya will definitely come looking for us when he sees that we haven't returned yet."
He used the watch-shaped flashlight to illuminate the interior of the wooden house and looked at the room inside: "Let's see if there are other exits first. If that person finds this place, we still have other ways to escape."
"Yeah!" Ayumi nodded vigorously, held Conan's arm tightly, and followed him inside.
Yuanta and Mitsuhiko also followed behind with lights on.
There was a small room inside the wooden house. Conan carefully pushed the door open and took a step inside, but felt something sticky on the soles of his feet.
He shone the flashlight at the ground and his pupils suddenly shrank - the ground was covered with bright red blood.
Conan realized something and shone the flashlight into the room, and the next second.
"Ah!" Ayumi screamed in horror.
Inside the room, there was a blood-stained axe firmly embedded in the wooden floor.
Yuan Tai was trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the woman just now was killed here?"
Conan said in a deep voice: "It's most likely true. This is terrible. If this is the case, that person will definitely come back here."
"boom!"
As if in response to Conan's words, the door of the wooden house was suddenly slammed hard, making a loud noise.
"!!!"
The three little kids' faces suddenly changed and they looked towards the door in horror.
