Prompted by Satsuki, Conan and his party arrived at the mountainside of the forest a few hours earlier than in the original. At that time, the sun was reddish, piercing through the dense forest foliage, like a spotlight on the ground. Other than that, everything that is shrouded under this natural barrier is almost impossible to reach.

Glenlevy and Conan had been walking for a long time following the instructions of the tracking glasses, but the point of light still hadn't stopped, and it was getting farther and farther.

In this way, even if Conan knew that Mitsuhiko was still in this forest, he couldn't meet each other.

At this time, Yuan Tai, who was tired of walking, noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow gathered in the depths of the forest, so he stopped, pointed to that place, and said, "Hey, there seem to be a lot of people in that place." ”

"Then let's go and ask them if they've seen Mitsuhiko." Ayumi said excitedly.

Dr. Asa was worried, fearing that it was a group of dangerous people. But before they could be dissuaded, the little ghosts, along with the always calm Gray Plains, also ran in that direction.

The figures of the crowd gradually shrank in sight, and the faster Glenleyway's heart beat and his thoughts became more and more cloudy.

His body stiffened, his feet stuck like glue, and he stayed in place, not moving.

If Kiichiro Numabuchi really recognizes his identity, the police will definitely arrest him back for interrogation. At that time, he was forced to announce his ICPO identity, and it was not only Numebuchi who would be hunted down by the organization in the future.

What to do...... He stepped back.

As the unknown black shadow got closer, Conan and the others slowed down. When he saw the man with a thin body at the head of the group, Conan stopped completely.

"You are a mountain village police officer at the Gunma Prefectural Police Department......" he said.

Yamamura Cao was still combing his bangs in the middle at this time, revealing his round forehead was very funny. He looked back at the little ones and muttered, "I remember you were a child of Mr. Maori's family." ”

Conan looked at him blankly: "You guys are here, is there something going on?" ”

When Yamamura Cao heard this, he immediately straightened his face, and was rarely serious: "You better get out of here quickly, this area has been very dangerous recently." A few days ago, when my senior was collecting evidence at the scene, he let the suspect escape. As he spoke, his expression darkened. That's a serial murderer, Kenichiro Numabuchi. ”

Jiichiro Numabuchi?!

The name couldn't be more familiar to Conan. When he solved the case in Osaka and Hattori before, he was almost stabbed to death by Numabuchi with a fruit knife scattered on the ground. Recalling this, he seemed to feel a dull pain in his chest from the previous injury.

Hearing this, Dr. Asa immediately told the mountain village the purpose of their visit to the mountain, and the mountain village could not believe that a boy could also be lost in the forest.

He yelled at the doctor, "Then why don't you keep an eye on him? You brought him here in the first place, right? ”

"Didn't you bring him here?" Motota explained, "It was Mitsuhiko himself who secretly ran over. ”

Gray Yuan crossed his arms and raised his eyelids slightly: "Then we used the signal from his detective badge to track all the way here." ”

"Hey, Yamamura. What are you doing, we're going to search the swamp. A Mediterranean police officer not far away exclaimed.

The police officer was a senior in the mountain village, and when he saw the resentment on his face, he seemed a little sincerely afraid.

"But the children said......"

Before he could finish explaining, the Mediterranean police officer rushed forward, lowered his voice, and said viciously: "The prisoner was able to escape, all because you didn't pay attention, you should work harder to find it." ”

"Ah, this is ......"

The police officer didn't have time to chat with the mountain village, and once again grabbed the conversation, saying, "Anyway, you get these children to a safe place, and you will join the search team." ”

Looking at the domineering appearance, the mountain village was angry. After the officer left, he couldn't help but pout: "Really, it's not because my predecessor went to the toilet for no reason that I didn't pay attention to let him escape on the way to guard him." ”

Hehe...... Conan couldn't help but chuckle. In this way, the fundamental reason why the prisoners will flee is not because of the mountain village.

"Now, Conan." Ayumi looked around, moved to Conan's side, and tugged at the corner of his clothes. "Brother Hanazuka seems to be gone."

Gray Yuan Wai then suddenly looked back around. "Huh? Wasn't he next to us just now? ”

"Did you go to find Mitsuhiko?"

The sudden disappearance of Glenlevy puzzled Conan. It is impossible for a calm and rational person like him to leave without saying goodbye. There must be something else hidden.

"This sucks." Yuan Tai grabbed his face and looked frightened: "What if the prisoner is met and killed." ”

"Hanazuka is not a person who falls so easily......" Ash Yuan looked at the mountain village in front of him, and seemed to realize something. muttered, "Rather than worrying about him, it's better for us to find Mitsuhiko quickly." ”

Shan Cun heard the conversation of several people, and his face was surprised: "What? Do you have one of your companions lost in the forest? ”

At this moment, the sky is dark, and the halo of the setting sun is surrounded by hazy white smoke, and it is almost time to go down. As a result, it has increased the difficulty of the police's search.

The thought that he had just failed to report to the authorities in time that someone had disappeared in the forest suddenly became self-pitying.

He knelt on the soft grass, tears streaming from his eyes. "I'm done...... First, when collecting evidence at the scene, the prisoner took the opportunity to escape, and then he didn't tell his predecessors that a child was missing in the forest, and now he forgot to bring his mobile phone out of the house, and there is no way to report the news of the second missing person, which is really over. I wanted to be a police officer because I liked watching cop movies. Now it's hard to become one, but it's ...... I don't think I'm cut out for this job...... Not qualified at all. ”

"It's not like that." Conan, who was behind him, couldn't bear to see him like this, and comforted: "Mr. Policeman, haven't you solved many cases before?" For example, the murder case of Mr. Yoshibo Yauchi, the murder case of lawyer Karuizawa, and the murder case of the head god forest, your performance has impressed everyone. ”

"Really, Conan? It's amazing......" Yuan Tai and Ayumi looked happy and praised again and again.

Well...... But the people who really solved the case were me and my dad. Conan complained to himself.

It was getting darker, and at dusk the last inch of sunlight could no longer shine through the mountains and leaves into the forest, it just stayed on the edge of the mountain, sliding towards the sky.

By the stream in the forest, Mitsuhiko rested profusely under a century-old tree. The badge of the detective regiment on the backpack rang again at this moment.

Looks like Conan and they've found it...... He thought.

Although Mitsuhiko is happy, he has a reason not to answer.

Just as he was about to take a step and continue to set off, the grass behind him suddenly sounded the sound of rustling. Glenlevy gracefully stepped out of the darkness, the moonlight shining brightly on his silver-white hair.

"So you're here......" he smiled.
