Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 312 Emergency Help

When the two passed by a bathroom ventilation window behind the house, the originally dark bathroom suddenly turned on the lights. Xiao Ai's nerves immediately became tense, and he quickly directed Ishino to lift himself up and approach the window. Some.

However, before Xiao Ai could listen carefully to what was going on inside, a doorbell suddenly came from the direction of the door, so Xiao Ai patted Ishino's hand and signaled him to put him down, and then the two of them quietly walked back one after another. Look at the door from the shadow on the side of the door.

I saw a man wearing a mask standing outside the door, ringing the doorbell, and shouting the name "Meicai" in a hoarse voice into the room, but no one answered.

After that, the man lingered at the door anxiously for nearly 10 minutes, and his cough became more and more severe. In the end, his body couldn't hold on any longer, so he reluctantly left the place with his sick body.

"Dad, something doesn't seem right!" Looking at the man's leaving figure, Xiao Ai frowned and said to Shi Ye beside him, "Obviously the two people in the room have not left, but no one came out to open the door. This is obviously not normal.”

"And judging from the man's behavior of calling his name into the house, he is obviously an acquaintance of the two sisters inside. Therefore, there is no possibility that he is worried about strangers breaking in and deliberately pretending that no one is at home. I think there is a high probability that there is someone inside. Something happened, and that’s why no one came out to answer the door.”

After listening to Xiao Ai's analysis, Ishino nodded seriously and responded: "The analysis makes sense, so Miss Detective, what should we do next?"

Xiao Ai raised her hand and held her chin and thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, when the man started ringing the doorbell just now, the light in the bathroom behind was just turned on, so there must be something going on over there. Happens, let’s go over and take a look!”

After saying that, she ran towards the rear courtyard wall. Without waiting for Ishino to reach out for help, she directly kicked up the two-meter-high courtyard wall. The next moment she saw that the window that was lit before was now It was pitch black.

Noticing that there seemed to be some strange shadows behind the window, Xiao Ai jumped up without saying a word, holding on to the opposite window sill and trying her best to peek inside through the faint moonlight. Then she turned back to look at Shiye who had climbed over the wall with him. He called anxiously: "The gap in the window seems to be sealed with tape, but I vaguely saw a person lying on the edge of the bathtub inside. It is very likely that the closed space was created artificially and he wanted to kill her with poison gas!"

"Is there a way to open the window from the outside?" Ishiye came to Xiao Ai and put one hand on her feet, so that she could get closer to the window and observe the situation inside more easily.

"If you have a tool like a slender wire, it should be able to open it, but I didn't bring anything like this. Dad, do you have any with you?" After carefully observing the structure of the window lock, Xiao Ai nodded lightly and asked Ishino road.

"I think there should be some, please come down and wait for me." Ishino gently put Xiao Ai back on the ground, then took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, took off the top keys and left a separate key ring. With a gentle flick of his fingers, he pulled it into a straight steel wire and handed it to the other party, "Here you go, remember to take precautions before opening the window, be careful of the poisonous gas inside."

Xiao Ai, who has long been accustomed to her father's strange strength, took the wire with satisfaction, stood on the other's shoulder again and gestured towards the gap in the window, and then with a little force she broke the wire into what she needed. shape, and quickly opened the inner lock along the gap.

The next second, Xiao Ai held her breath and pulled hard on the window frame. The tape that covered the inside circle was quickly separated from the window frame. Then the sliding door and ventilation window responded with a sore voice. And open.

"I'll go in and take a look first. Dad, please wait for me outside." After discovering that there was no gas similar to poisonous gas in the bathroom, Xiao Ai jumped into the room through the ventilation window that only children could pass through, and quickly ran to The bathroom light was turned on at the door.As the light illuminated the entire bathroom, Xiao Ai immediately saw the scene in front of her clearly. She saw that the young woman she had seen before in the convenience store was lying on the edge of the bathtub unconsciously, and the water in the bathtub was slowly flowing. stained red by the blood spilling from her wrists.

Xiao Ai was shocked at first when she saw this, and then reacted quickly to move the woman from the edge of the bathtub to the ground and lay down on the ground. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and tied the woman's arm tightly to slow down the bleeding of the wound.

At the same time, Ishino, who was standing at the window, also saw clearly the situation inside and expressed satisfaction with Xiao Ai's series of reactions and operations.

"It's the sister just now. Her carpal artery was cut. We have to send her to the hospital immediately!" Looking at Ishino standing by the window with his head exposed, Xiao Ai made a decision after thinking for a while, "Dad, go to the door now. I will go over and open the door for you right away."

"Well, pay attention to safety. The murderer may still be inside." Ishino warned after hearing this, then turned away from the window and ran towards the door.

Xiao Ai nodded and found that he didn't need to use any force to open the bathroom door that was covered with tape. Without having time to think about it, he hurried to the door and helped Ishino open the door.

"It seems that the murderer should be the sister of this Qingdao lady, but the other party seemed to have left here while we were rushing to the bathroom." After observing the shoes placed at the entrance, Xiao Ai took Ishino to the bathroom. While talking about the conclusions drawn from his own observations.

"Well, as long as Miss Qingdao is not dead, it is not difficult to catch the murderer." Ishiye nodded in agreement with Xiao Ai's statement and went to the bathroom as he spoke.

"So now it's your turn, Dr. Watson." Looking at the young woman lying on the ground, looking breathless, Xiao Ai urged her father anxiously.

"I know, Miss Detective." Ishino wasted no time, immediately walked to the woman and squatted down, made a preliminary inspection of her wounds and physical condition, turned his head and said seriously to Xiao Ai, "She lost too much blood, we She needs to be sent to the hospital for blood transfusion within 10 minutes."

Xiao Ai's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she said nervously, "But it's at least 10 minutes' drive from the nearest hospital, not to mention we haven't driven here yet."

"Don't worry, I know a place that can provide her with treatment and blood transfusion, and I can arrive within 10 minutes." After speaking, Ishino picked up the woman on the ground and turned to leave the bathroom. At the same time, he called Xiao Ai to follow him and said, "We are going to run with all our strength next. If you can't keep up, Xiao Ai, just go home and wait for news from me."

"Hmph, Dad, you can't sprint with all your strength while holding a seriously injured person. I can definitely keep up with you." Xiao Ai snorted and retorted after hearing this.

"Okay, let's set off now. Follow me closely and be careful not to get lost." Seeing that the other party was so confident, Ishino stopped trying to persuade him and strode away in the direction of Didan High School as soon as he went out. Xiao Ai behind him was unwilling to do so. Showing weakness, he used all his strength to pursue him.
