"Still didn't answer. As the search time passed, the sky began to slowly darken, and while searching, Conan was also calling Mitsuhiko with the Detective Corps badge at the same time, but the result was still the same, there was no response.

"It's so late, he can't fall asleep somewhere, right?" Everyone gathered together and began to discuss Mitsuhiko.

"Maybe he's foreseen Jiichiro Numabuchi by now. Xiao Ai had a bold idea.

"Little ...... Little mourning. The doctor waved his hand, as if to remind him that you didn't think well.

"It's not surprising to think so, he's a criminal who kills people in the Tohoku, Kanto, and the last three places...... In particular, he is still a member of that organization. The first words were addressed to the Doctor, but the latter were hidden in their hearts.

"......," Conan was silent.

"By the way, Officer Yamamura, isn't Jiichiro Numabuchi supposed to be in Osaka, why is he in Gunma Prefecture now?"

"As you just mentioned, the matter of Jiichiro Numabuchi was reported in the newspapers in a big way, and we thought he had killed three people, but during the interrogation he said that he had killed four, and that person was buried in the forest of Numabuchi's mother's hometown, and that is why he was escorted from Osaka to Gunma. Actually, the survey started early in the morning, but Numabuchi's memory was that he couldn't remember the specific direction for a while because he hadn't been here for a long time, so he didn't find the body after digging for a long time. The police officers from Osaka handed over Numabuchi and me to my seniors for lunch, and they left for a while......" Yamamura said as he looked at Xiaoshi.

"Just let him run away. The doctor squinted slightly at the mountain village.

"He must have been thinking about running away in the first place. Motota concluded.

"I see...... Xiao Bai looked at the tree not far away, smiled at the people on the tree, turned around and made a silent motion.

As for the doctor and his party, because they were still discussing the matter of Mitsuhiko and Numabuchi, they didn't notice Xiaobai's small action.

And on the tree, a man with a cloak stood on the tree, looking at Xiaobai with a little shock at the moment, but because he saw Xiaobai's movements, he didn't make any movements.

"If you're so worried, let's find it quickly, it's going to be dark soon, and although there is no flashlight, the watch developed by the doctor should have enough power. While the doctors were still discussing, Xiaobai proposed.

"So, it's getting dark. Ayumi glanced at the sky, then pulled out her watch. Then, there was a glimmer of light in the forest.

"Hand, the watch is lit up,......" Yamamura watched in amazement.

"What's all the fuss about...... Motota looked at Yamamura with a little disdain in his eyes, and turned on the light source of the watch he was wearing.

"This ...... So, the detective group badge you're talking about has tracking glasses......" Yamamura seemed to think of something.

"Those are all props that I developed for children out of boredom, and although they don't work much, the functions we are talking about are true. The doctor confirmed his thoughts.

"So, there really was a kid running into the forest. Yamamura never seemed to believe the Doctor's words, and even now it was just in case they would meet Numabuchi and protect them, although there was a question mark over whether he could protect them. But now, he's starting to believe the doctor's words.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and find it." Then, the mountain village took the lead and walked towards the forest not far away.

"Is this guy really reliable?" said Motota as he looked at the mountain village not far away.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Conan laughed awkwardly.

Then, the group followed the mountain village.

However, no one noticed that when everyone caught up with the mountain village. Xiaobai didn't follow everyone. It's the opposite of what they do.

"They're gone, come down. Coming to the foot of a tree, Xiaobai whispered.

Then, a figure jumped lightly, as if the height of the tree was nothing to him.

"......" Numebuchi looked at Xiaobai vigilantly, but for a moment, he seemed to have figured out something, and then looked at Xiaobai with a little downcast, or with a request in his eyes.

"Do you want to escape?" Xiaobai said as he looked at Numebuchi.

"I didn't think I'd run away. Numabuchi's voice seemed to be a little hoarse after not speaking for too long. However, as he spoke, he looked at a small stream not far away.

"I lied to them that I had killed someone and buried them in this forest. Actually, there is no such thing. Xiaobai's gaze also shifted from the eyes of the swamp abyss to the stream not far away. Then, Numabuchi spoke.

"I don't know where you are, but I know I can't run, but I don't want to. I just want to come to this place one last time. Without looking back, Numebuchi said softly.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Shiro looked at Numabuchi, and the other party's eyes did not have the crazy fierce light in Osaka at that time, nor the dejected look when he was arrested. Now, some only have a look called memory.

"Will you help me?" Numabuchi looked at Shiro with wide eyes.

"Tell a lie that doesn't exist, just to come to your hometown, to this forest. So, there must be something in this forest that you miss. Xiaobai's smile did not change in any way because of the other party's surprised expression.

"I don't know if I'll see it the last time. Glancing at the creek, then at the surroundings, the swamp said.

"This season, and this stream, and this forest, Mitsuhiko ......," Xiaobai pondered.

"yes, I just want to see the fireflies in my memory one last time. Numebuchi looked up at the sky and said as if talking to himself.

"Let's go, then. This place may come to me later. So, let's change places. Since this is your last wish, I will help you make it happen. The corners of Xiaobai's mouth went up.

"You...... Why are you helping me so much?" Numabuchi looked at Xiaobai with a complicated expression.

"A man is dying, and his words are good. Xiaobai said something that didn't fit the current scene.

"Thank you......" Numabuchi bowed slightly.

"Let's go. As he spoke, Xiaobai accepted the detective badge.

"Xiaobai, where are you?" said Ayumi's voice from the detective badge.

"Ah, I was just going to the toilet and now I'm getting lost. Otherwise, I'll look for Mitsuhiko separately from you, and when I find one, I can use my detective badge to contact you. Xiaobai replied to the detective badge.

"Where are you?" said Xiao Ai's voice.

"I have one thing to do. Xiaobai replied softly.

"What's the matter?"

"Treasure hunting?"

「……」

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko spoke, while the rest were silent.

"I see. After Xiao Ai finished speaking, the signal of the detective badge was cut off.

"Then, I'll buy time for the fireflies to appear. Xiaobai looked at the swamp abyss beside him.

"It's coming, you'll be able to see it soon. When Xiaobai received the detective badge, Nuabuchi didn't seem to care, but looked around, and at the moment he responded to Xiaobai.

And then......

Over time......

A little green light floated up.

"Wow, that's beautiful. Ayumi's voice rang out.

"Hehe......" seems to be Mitsuhiko's laughter.

"Remember this moment. Xiaobai's voice came.

"Where have you been?" Ayumi and the others asked, looking at Shiro.

"Swamp...... Numabuchi has ichiro......" Yamamura shouted as he looked at the person beside Xiaobai.

"Be quiet for a while......" Xiaobai said to the side of the mountain village and made a silent gesture.

"Yes...... But ......" Yamamura pointed at Nuabuchi, speechless, then at the doctor and the others, then at Xiaobai, and then at Numafuchi.

Fireflies come here

The water over there is bitter

The water here is sweet

Fireflies come here

Come along the mountain road

Firefly's dad must be a rich man

No wonder the firefly's butt is shining

Fireflies come here

Come along the mountain road

Hide behind the dew on the leaves during the day

At night, they flew like lanterns hanging high

If you fly too high, you will be caught by swallows

Take a look at the light of these lanterns

Looking at the fireflies all over the forest, Xiaobai softly hummed "Fireflies are coming" (ほたるこい)

In the forest, only the sky is full of fireflies

Also, the infectious singing of a boy......
