"Bang!"

The finger on the trigger paused for a long time, but finally pulled it down.

With a crisp sound of metal impact, a clear yellow projectile burst out from the pitch-black muzzle, creating a wave of air.

"Smack!"

The target exploded at that moment, and the moment the warhead pierced through the front, a bright red burst into the rear.

"Hoo ......"

The fingers slowly let go, accompanied by a slight, trembling gasp.

As if he had finally lifted some burden, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his angular mouth.

Then, the smile slowly expanded, expanded, slowly revealing silver teeth, slowly sharpening the chin.

"Hya~hya~hya~hya~ Xia Fan, you see, this is your brother's strength!"

Hawkya, who was laughing obscenely in the style of Maori Kogoro, blew the non-existent smoke from the muzzle of the toy gun, and said proudly.

The laughter made people worry about whether he would bite his tongue.

Following his gaze, there was a balloon stand full in front of him, and a red balloon exploded in the middle, which was caused by his shot just now.

"Yes, you finally broke one after all the bullets in the magazine, your strength is really impressive!"

However, what responded to him was Xia Fan's extremely disgusted eyes as if he had seen a cockroach.

The magazine of this toy pistol can hold about 20 rounds of BB rounds, so you can imagine how poor someone's marksmanship is......

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, although Eagle Arrow has learned a lot in the Shadow Warrior Alliance, but he has not used much of a small firearm like a pistol. There is no other reason than this, because the person who shot his parents on the night five years ago was holding such a small pistol in his hand. Since then, Eagle Arrow has instinctively rejected this type of firearm, even to the point of physiological rejection.

Therefore, the appearance of him just inhaling and holding his breath was not contrived, at least half of his real reaction.

However, these performances are naturally 100% contrived in Xia Fan's eyes, after all, in her opinion, Eagle Ya is usually not serious, and often plays tricks, and he can't do this kind of exaggerated behavior of pretending to be nervous.

"Oh, it's a pity, this little brother, you only hit one balloon this time, so there is no prize, do you want to do it again?"

The boss of the gun point looked at the balloon rack, nodded with great satisfaction, and then handed over another gun with a smile.

"Of course, I said the biggest doll must be mine!" Eagle Ya handed over the bill without hesitation and took the pistol.

"GOOD! Young people just want to have this kind of momentum!" the uncle couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the eagle arrow, and smiled brightly.

I like a gun idiot like you, and the annual temple fair is pointing to you to live!

However, before the new spear could be warmed up in Eagle Arrow's hand, it was instantly snatched away by another white little hand.

"Huh?"

"Eh, what, let you until tomorrow morning, I guess you won't be able to get that rabbit beauty, it's better for me to come by myself!"

Xia Fan gave him a blank look, then picked up the air gun, which was slightly larger than her small hand, and walked in front of the balloon stand.

"Oh oh oh, this time the little girl is coming, it's okay, even if you can't shoot, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to open ...... Heart......"

The uncle, who was still cheering for Xia Fan, couldn't go on, and was replaced by the gradually sinking jaw. Because he suddenly realized that even without his encouragement, this little girl would have a good time, and he would be very unhappy.

"Eh, Xia Fan, is she so good at shooting?"

Listening to the "pop" sound that kept ringing in his ears, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but reach out and close his rusty chin back.

"Well, Xia Fan said that she was born with very good eyes, so she has always been very accurate," Sakura, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but nodded, "It's the same when practicing kyudo, almost every shot, so I'm regarded as the number one main player by Ayari-senpai of the archery department." ”

"Huh...... That's ......."

Sure enough, in the past five years, he is not the only one who has grown......

"By the way, you said the archery department, Xia Fan, does she like archery very much?"

Looking at the back of Xia Fan who was shooting with a gun, Eagle Arrow remembered the scene when Xia Fan was shooting arrows that he had seen before.

"I think so, I remember that during the after-school activities, Xia Fan spent most of the time in the archery club," Sakura on the side couldn't help but nod, "She said that she liked the feeling of holding a bow and arrow, this feeling of focusing on a goal." ”

"Eh, is it?" Eagle Ya couldn't help but touch his chin and showed a hint of a smile, "I really can't imagine that Xia Fan still has such a talent...... Why didn't you see her show it when you were young?"

"This ......" Hearing Takaya's words, Sakura's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and her eyes dodged again.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, this, as far as I know, it's because Xia Fan has been sticking your photo on the target to practice before, that ......"

Eagle's smile froze on his face.

========================================================================

"I'm really sorry for you today, Mr. Ikeda, and you're going to send us back. ”

Holding Conan's little hand and walking down from his body, Xiaolan, who had a good family education, couldn't help but bow to Uncle De.

"Where, this is the old job, and you are so kind, Miss Maori. ”

Uncle De gently closed the car door, and then put his left hand on his chest very gentlemanly and returned Xiaolan's salute.

"Okay Conan, don't be in a daze, thank you to Mr. Ikeda!"

Xiaolan couldn't help but squat down and touch Conan's head, which was still frowning as if he was thinking about something.

"Oh, thank you, Uncle De. ”

Conan, who was interrupted from his thoughts, couldn't help but say something instinctively.

"Eh, Uncle De, Conan, why do you call that that? You can't be so rude!"

"Ahh......h

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Conan couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

He almost forgot that from Xiaolan's point of view, Conan and Uncle De had only met for the second time.

"Haha, the old man doesn't mind, or rather, this title makes the old man feel more cordial. Uncle De smiled and pushed his glasses, "Then, Miss Maori, and this little Mr. Detective, please allow the old man to take his leave first." ”

"Well, have a nice trip, Mr. Ikeda. ”

Ran and Conan waved their hands and watched the black sedan slowly disappear into the night.

"Let's go up then, Conan," said Lan, smiling, "it's so late at night, I see Daddy is going crazy with hunger!"

"Ahh Conan nodded, and his answer was a bit perfunctory.

"What's wrong with you, Conan, you've been a little absent-minded since the beginning?" asked Lan, a little confused.

"Ah, no, nothing......" Conan shook his head, but his serious face did not relax in the slightest.

"Are you still worried about Mr. Yamabe?"

Xiaolan is Xiaolan after all, and Hui Zhilan's heart, looking at Conan's face, she realized what he was thinking.

"Well, I still care about that string of numbers, does that string of numbers really just refer to Line 162?"

Even without Hawkya's reminder, Conan himself felt that something was wrong, not to mention that 162 meant that Line 162 itself was just his inference, and there was no inference to support it except for finding a similar path. And he doesn't think that the 3135134 in front of him is really just a meaningless cover, this string of numbers should have its own meaning. What the specific meaning is, Conan still doesn't understand, but there is a faint feeling that the meaning contained in it may subvert all the inferences so far!

The detective's instincts make Conan feel very uneasy, because this is not a mystery game, and if he is wrong, he can reverse and start over, and if his reasoning is wrong, he is likely to lose not just one life, but three!

This great sense of oppression haunted Conan's heart, forcing him to keep turning his brain to think. At this time, someone who should be the most capable of thinking with him is with his sister, busy with something that he doesn't know......

"Don't worry so much, Conan," Xiaolan couldn't help but squat down and gently touched his head, "This is not your responsibility alone, you have to believe that Officer Twilight and them, so many police gentlemen will definitely be able to rescue them!"

In fact, Xiaolan is right, Conan himself understands that this is not his responsibility, but the job of Officer Twilight, he is just an amateur detective who wants to help, the so-called "savior of the Japanese police" is just a boast of the news, and he just listens to it, and he is not really arrogant enough to think that he can replace the work of the police.

However, as a hot-blooded detective, the righteous soul in his heart makes it impossible for him to sit back and watch three lives in danger!

In this regard, he is quite similar to Eagle Arrow, and even the aspects of self-determination are exactly the same......

"Well, I see, Sister Lan. Conan finally sighed and nodded helplessly.

"Okay, don't be sad, let's go home quickly!" Xiaolan smiled and took Conan's hand and led him up the stairs.

"Dad, we're back!"

The moment Xiaolan pushed the door open, Maori's voice with a hint of hysteria followed.

"It's too late, where the hell have you been, are you trying to starve me?"

"Didn't I call and tell you to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to help Officer Twilight?" Xiaolan, who was yelled at for no reason, couldn't help muttering, but looking at Maori, who had a haggard face, as if he was hungry and could eat all the table, he couldn't help but soften, "Okay, okay, I'll go cook now!"

"Yes, yes!" Conan nodded obediently, then walked over to the couch and sat down, picked up the notebook that was placed aside, and once again silently wrote down the string of numbers that he had repeated in his mind to the point that he could already memorize.

“3135134162…… 3135134162…… Ahh

While Conan was repeating the numbers as if chanting, Maori, who was lifting a bunch of magazines from the table, seemed to be a little vain because of hunger, and one of them did not stand firmly, and his hand shook, and all the magazines in his hand fell on Conan's head.

"Dad!" Looking at Maori lying on the sofa, Xiaolan crossed her waist and glared at him angrily.

"Xiao, Xiaolan, can I clean up after eating...... Your dad and I may be a little hypoglycemic......"

Maori waved his hand weakly, and then lowered his head as if he had really fainted.

"Really?" Although she thought that Maori might just be too lazy to clean up, Xiaolan could only trust him, so she sighed, walked to the edge of the sofa, and took the book away, "Conan, are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine, Sister Xiaolan...... Huh?"

Just as Conan took the magazine away from his head, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because he seems to have seen a string of very familiar numbers!

“3135134…… Why, it's in this magazine?" Conan couldn't help but look at the magazine in his hand in surprise.

"Conan, you're doing it the other way around!"

"It's hard to take it, it's the other way around?"

At this time, Xiao Lan's voice finally made him notice that everything except for the string of numbers was reversed. At that moment, a flash of lightning flashed through Conan's mind, giving him goosebumps all over his body! That urge made him jerk the magazine upside down, and then he finally saw the true meaning of the string of numbers!

“HEI-SEI-E…… Heisei Express ......"

"Could that be the real meaning of these numbers?"

A cold sweat couldn't help but run down Conan's forehead.

It's upside down! Whether it's the numbers or his reasoning! Everything is upside down!

Well, 162 is also ...... Not referring to Line 162?

162…… Is it 291 in reverse?

Isn't that tomorrow?

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but quickly bounce off the sofa, took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Officer Twilight.

However, before he could press the dial button, a call had already come in!

Looking at the call reminder, Conan glanced at Xiaolan over there, then quietly slipped out of the room and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, detective, I know how to read that string of numbers!"

"What a coincidence, I'm ...... too"

====================================================================

Speaking of which, this is also a fortuitous coincidence.

When Xia Fan snatched the huge rabbit beauty doll from the gun shop uncle who wanted to cry without tears, the three of them walked around the temple fair for a while, and finally found a small bench to sit down.

Oh no, two of them to be exact, because some guy with a huge doll was still standing in pain......

"Hey, go buy us a bottle of water, I'm thirsty!"

Xia Fan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, then pointed to the convenience store over there, turned his head sideways, and pretended to be cold.

"Understand, ma'am, I'll go!"

Looking at his sister's arrogant appearance, Yingya couldn't help but smile slightly, and then bowed elegantly like Uncle De.

"Ah, brother, I'll help you get it first!"

Sakura couldn't help but reach out and take over the half-human-sized bunny beauty doll that had been carried behind by Eagle Arrow since just now.

"Ah, thanks, Sakura, sit down for a while, I'll be back right away!"

With that, Takaya walked towards the convenience store.

"Xia Fan, why can't you be more frank?"

Looking at the back of Eagle Ya leaving, Sakura couldn't help but turn her head and look at Xia Fan, who had deliberately tilted her head sideways from the beginning.

"What are you talking about, Sakura-chan, I've always been very frank!"

Although Xia Fan's answer was very straightforward, his head was still turned to the side and did not turn back.

"Why don't you just say you've forgiven him?" Sakura shook her head and sighed helplessly.

After walking around for such a long time, although it is still Hawkya's one-sided hot face sticking to the cold ass, Sakura knows very well that although the sentence is still so blunt, the tone is softer and softer every time, which I believe Hawkya can also see.

Xia Fan did not answer.

Maybe she also knew that Sakura was telling the truth, but for some reason, she just couldn't say it.

The back of the resolute departure five years ago, and all the anger and grievances in my heart for five years, formed a film called self-esteem, blocking everything I wanted to say to him. It looks transparent as if it can be broken when you poke it, but you can't wear it no matter what.

[Anyway, it's all that guy's fault!]

Xia Fan held his breath sullenly, and his eyes couldn't help but aim at the guy who was running to the convenience store.

Of course, Hawk didn't have eyes on his back, and he was happily whistling and pushing open the door of the convenience store.

"Welcome!"

The waitress sister with a sweet smile bowed politely.

"Ah, hello. Takaya nodded in response, then walked to the shelf and took three bottles of soda, and after thinking about it, he brought three more bottles of water, because he didn't know if a quaint girl like Sakura liked to drink soda, so he simply bought both.

"Trouble checking out. Hawk placed six bottles on top of the cash register and took a packet of potato chips.

"Okay, it's 5,050 yen!"

"5050 yen?"

Hawkya couldn't help but take out a banknote and a few coins from his wallet and handed them over.

It's really 7-11, but it's a little more expensive than other places......

As he complained in his heart, he inadvertently glanced at the LCD panel of the meter.

[Oh no, it's 505......]

On this kind of LCD display, 5 looks no different from S, so Eagle Arrow sees a distress signal at first glance.

Well, LCD screen, English letters?

As if he suddenly thought of something, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but quickly take out the PDA from his pocket and check the string of numbers that Conan sent him.

He'd been so concerned about the numbers themselves that he had ignored the calculator! The numbers themselves might not be recognizable, but if they were displayed in the form of an LCD screen—

“3-1-3-5-1-3-4-1-6-2……”

After entering the numbers in the calculator program, Eagle couldn't help but frown slightly.

At first glance, these numbers still seem to be nothing special, even if you want to be in English...... Kindness?

As if sensing something, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but turn the PDA upside down and hold it in his hand.

At this moment, it was as if all the fog had dispersed, and the truth appeared so clearly in front of his eyes.

“291HEISEIE…… 291 is easy to understand, but what is Heisei E?

Eagle Ya looked at the string of messages on the PDA and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Ah, you're talking about the HEISEI-EXPRESS, right? ”

Just when he was wrapped up in new questions, the cashier's sister over there couldn't help but smile and solve his confusion.

"Ping called the Express?" Hawka muttered to himself, "291, Heisei Express...... Looks like that's right......"

Thinking so, he couldn't help but take the change he had found, picked up the bag and walked out of the convenience store.

However, he didn't rush towards Xia Fan and them, but took out his mobile phone and dialed someone's number.

"Hey, detective, I know how to read that string of numbers!"

"What a coincidence, I'm ...... too"

"At 1 o'clock on the 29th, the target was someone who was riding the Heisei Express. ”

"Ah, and it's going to snipe when the Heisei Express passes through the S-corner. ”

"Being so close to you always makes me feel an inexplicable chill......"

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to wait for tomorrow, or are you going to act early?" Conan said angrily.

"The prisoners are holding hostages when they are present, and the instability factor is too great, so it is safer to take advantage of their unpreparedness. ”

"So, it's time for the Black Knight to come out again?"

"Let's talk about that, first of all, we need to find their location first!"
