Chapter 370 The Ancient House (8)
"Ah?!" Lu Yuan was also stunned.
When Conan saw Lu Yuan's expression, he seemed to understand. Most of these people had come down, so he shook his head awkwardly: "Okay, in short, go see everyone first, and then find a way."
So Lu Yuan took Xiaolan and Lu Yuan to the depths of the ground.
Sure enough, the foundation of this building is hollowed out, and there is nothing we can do about it. After all, self-built buildings cannot really be like in the city, with roads and large areas of foundation as the foundation, and must have a certain degree of ductility. Otherwise, your house may be crooked under more than ten years of wind and rain.
After walking less than half a minute, everyone finally arrived at the corner of the underground part. There was a small lamp with a small flame lit inside. This was the only light source here. A few people were surrounded by Maori, Meguri police department, and Officer Takagi. There was an unconscious person lying on the ground, which was the Sugi Ichio who had just disappeared.
These people look very energetic, but under the light of fire, they look like a dish. I think so, in this place, these people must have nothing to eat. They have been hungry for two days and can't do anything except sleep. They will definitely be like this.
When Maori saw Conan bringing Xiaolan and a stranger over, he also covered his face.
"Ahhhh~" He let out that very iconic roar: "Why are you here too? Now our whole family is trapped here!"
When Xiaolan saw her father, she felt angry: "You are so embarrassed to say that you fell into such a place. Do you know how worried we are about you!"
"Tsk, you fell down yourself!" Maori curled his lips, but he was so cowardly that he was embarrassed to argue with his daughter head-on!
"It's not because of you that I fell down! You know how worried I've been in the past few days!"
"I didn't mean it, and I didn't even see Miss Yoko's premiere!!"
Alas, anyway, these two live treasures were just yelling like this, and Officer Takagi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he had to stand up and wave his hand.
"Well, don't argue with me."
"Yes, save some effort, we don't have much left." Megu also narrowed his eyes and leaned against the wall, pointing to a schoolbag next to him.
Xiaolan looked into her schoolbag and saw that there were some snacks such as potato chips and candy left there. Then she remembered: "Oh, by the way, Conan's school and sports meet in a few days. Are these snacks he is going to bring?"
"Yes, I've eaten almost the same food. Uncle Maori ate half of it alone." Conan twitched his eyes and complained weakly.
Lu Yuan looked at this group of people who were like fools and said something, and he was also a headache. In the end, he had to come out and put the topic on the main topic.
"Uh... I'm disturbing. May I ask, is there really no way out here?"
"Who is this boy?" Maori muttered.
"Hey?" Xiaolan was shocked: "Isn't this your friend?"
"My friend?" Maori frowned, as if trying hard to recall Lu Yuan's face.
Lu Yuan was not afraid of being exposed, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Maori, have you forgotten that I was the detective Lu Yuan in the murder incident? I am a fan of Mr. Maori. I have always targeted you. I have asked you for an autograph." As he said, Lu Yuan pretended to be quite stunning and flipped through himself: "Oh, that autograph is usually placed on his body, but he changed his clothes a few days ago, so he just kept it at home."
When Maori heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Ah...hahaha, so that's it, um, yes, indeed, I have a lot of fans. As for you...ahhaha, I remember it, Lu Yuan, right?"
"Yes~" Lu Yuan's expression at this time was similar to Conan. In his memory, he involuntarily compared the middle-aged man who said a shocking and stunned speech under the moonlight, and compared it with the stupidity at this moment.
Is this really the same person?
Alas, okay, Lu Yuan forced himself not to think about this matter and continued to ask: "So, are there no other exits here?"
Maori shook his head: "No, we have all looked for it."
"Yes." Police Officer Megu, who was standing beside him, also responded: "You called the police, right?"
Xiaolan said: "Of course, but the General Administration will send someone tomorrow."
"Oh, okay, then I can only wait."
"But, now all the people who have a good idea of the matter are here. What if the police station comes to the house tomorrow and finds that there is no one, they think we are not here and go out to search for things, what should we do?"
Officer Takagi proposed an idea inappropriately, and what is even more depressing is that it seems that this idea is really likely to happen.
"Don't be afraid~" Maori Laoji said leisurely: "Although the people in the police station are not very smart, they are still good at recruiting people. Even if they can't find them that day, after two or three days, they will always think of rummaging down the house."
As he said that, he deliberately leaned into the corner, and his posture was like he was about to take a nap.
Conan obviously couldn't stand Maori's lazy attitude, so he added: "But don't forget that we have almost used the food. Now there are three more people. I guess my packs of potato chips can't even stand a meal. If I have to be hungry here for three days, it would be not good."
This sentence immediately made Maori's eyes, which had just closed, glared.
While speaking, Conan took out a pair of beige in the corner. It was obvious that it was the yellow windbreaker that Officer Megu often wore. However, less than one-third of the windbreaker left was now.
Conan tore off another piece of fabric from the remaining one-third of his clothes, stuffed it into the lamp, and poured some of the ashes burned out from the lamp.
In love, these people have been burning clothes to keep their light brightly. Fortunately, the underground space is large, otherwise they might have been poisoned by oil smoke.
Conan's words continued: "Also, the fabric is almost burned. Seeing that these three new people are not wearing much, I think that in another 12 hours, our tops should not be kept. At this time tomorrow, if we still want to light up, we can only burn our pants."
“…”
“…”
Everyone was silent when they looked at Conan's light words.
Yes, if the police really need two or three days to find this place, then they might be completely out of their clothes.
Just then...
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
