Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 319 Cave Exploration
Hearing the other party commenting on him like this, Conan was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly he saw Dr. Ali and Naia coming out of the stairs. He had to close his mouth obediently under Xiao Ai's joking look, and made a He looked like he was watching TV intently.

"Brother Conan, you've finished taking a shower." Naia greeted Conan with a smile.

"Yes, I just finished washing it. Naiya, have you and the doctor finished transforming the umbrella?" Conan also asked with a smile.

"Not yet, but we have already discussed how to modify it. The doctor said that it can be completed during the weekend camping. Then just bring the umbrella over." Naia shook her head slightly and replied.

"That's right, so Naya, are you going to go camping with us this weekend?" Hearing the other party's answer, Conan looked curiously at Xiao Ai who didn't object. "But then I'm afraid the doctor's car can't accommodate so many people, right?"

"That's right, so my father will drive me, my sister and Naia there on weekends. You and the other three children can just take Dr. A Li's car." Xiao Ai nodded and confirmed.

"It turns out that Uncle Ishino is going too, so that's okay." Hearing that Ishino was also going together, Conan suddenly felt that he didn't have to worry about any emergencies, and then discussed the specific arrangements for the camping with several people present. , waited until Xiaolan finished taking a shower before saying goodbye to each other and leaving together.

……

In a blink of an eye, the weekend came. The two cars of Ishino and Dr. Agasa carried the four children of the Junior Detective Team and the three children of their own family respectively to the camping ground in the mountains and forests.

Originally, Xiao Ai and the others planned to invite Grace to join them, but she happened to be attending an acting class, so she was unable to attend the camping trip. Everyone could only make an appointment with her to hang out together the next time they had a chance.

"The doctor finally didn't forget to bring his tent today." Looking at the large camping tent set up by Ishino in a few seconds, the three little ones couldn't help complaining to Dr. Agasa.

"Hahaha, how could I make the same mistake twice..." Dr. Ali smiled awkwardly, and then assigned tasks to a group of children, "Okay, we are going to build a barbecue stove here soon, you guys If you guys are bored, go pick up some firewood and come back."

"Okay!" As soon as they heard that they were going to have a barbecue outdoors, the three little ones immediately became energetic and agreed in unison. The next moment they pulled Conan along and started to pick up dead branches scattered everywhere along the mountain path. .

Ishino, who stayed in the camp, quickly set up a barbecue and began to process the meat ingredients and turn them into skewers. Xiaoai and Xiaosaki took the vegetables to the stream to clean them, and later followed suit. Make vegetable kebabs like this.

As for Dr. Agasa, he took out his carefully modified multi-functional umbrella and began to explain the various functions on it to the admiring Naia.

"This firewood should be enough, let's go back quickly." After a period of searching, Conan took a look at the amount of dry firewood in the three little hands and suggested.

Ayumi and Genta, who were closest to Conan, were about to agree, but they heard Mitsuhiko's excited voice coming from behind: "Everyone, wait a minute, come over and take a look, I found something interesting!"

"It's just a stalactite cave." Conan, who was attracted by these words, couldn't help complaining as he looked at the cave in front of him, "And there's a sign prohibiting entry here, right?"

"The thing that's really interesting is actually the stone here!" Mitsuhiko smiled and shook his head when he heard this. He pointed to a stone with words engraved on it and reminded, "Look at the words on this stone!" He approached where Mitsuhiko was pointing. On the stone tablet, Conan read out the words written on it: "Go forward towards the road of the auspicious dragon, and God will surely bless and shine on you."

"Will God bless you?" After hearing Conan's interpretation, the three little ones looked at each other and said excitedly, "Does this mean that there is a treasure here?!"

"Really, you're here again." Hearing the cheers of the three people behind him, Conan rolled his eyes, looked at the big hiragana word TO on the stone tablet again, and began to seriously think about the meaning of this mark.

Just when he couldn't find a clue and wanted to hear if the children had any strange ideas, he turned around and found that there were only three piles of dry firewood placed on the ground behind him, and there were no figures anywhere.

Conan was startled, and quickly ran to the entrance of the cave and shouted in the direction of the flashlight faintly shaking inside: "Hey, hey! What's going on with you? Come back quickly!"

"It doesn't matter, it won't hurt if you take a look!" Faced with Conan's persuasion, the three little ones, driven by curiosity, replied as they walked in impatiently.

"It's really..." Looking at the people walking deeper and deeper, Conan shook his head speechlessly, and had no choice but to follow them and assume the responsibility of the nanny.

Walking in the spacious stalactite cave, Conan accidentally discovered a cigarette butt that fell on the ground, and judged from the wetness of the filter that there were other people in the cave besides their group.

Not long after, Mitsuhiko, who was walking at the front, pointed to the corner of the cave and said, "Look, there are lights over there. It seems there are other explorers!"

"Maybe the other party is also here to hunt for treasure. It would be terrible if they get the first step!" Thinking that the treasure is about to be obtained by others first, Yuantai hurriedly ran towards the light.

Just when he came to the corner, he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he broke into a cold sweat. He rolled and crawled back to the crowd and said in a panic: "There is a corpse! They are carrying the corpse!"

"What?!" Before Ayumi and Mitsuhiko could understand what Genta's words meant, Conan reacted immediately, and a strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

But before anyone could react, a man followed the sound and chased after them. He was startled when he saw several children, and then he immediately took out a pistol from his arms and aimed it at everyone.

"It's a pistol! Get down!!" Conan, who immediately guessed the opponent's intention based on his actions, could only loudly give orders to the three little ones, and he did not hesitate to block behind them and forcefully They were pushed to the ground.

With the sound of gunshots that resounded through the cave, several children quickly turned off the flashlights on their watches and hid desperately in the cracks in the rock wall nearby, not daring to take a breath.

Then several more men came over from the depths of the cave after hearing the noise. After confirming the situation with the companions who had shot before, they began to search around for traces of the four children.
