Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Chapter 767: Jing Guang is?

The waterfall flowing on the cliff was frozen, and the deep pool covered with snow was also covered with thick ice.

Gao Ming fell down the icefall. While falling, he quickly took out the P3 terminal from his pocket, pressed the button and threw it onto the cliff.

The moment my body broke through the ice and fell into the water, the unbearable cold pierced my skin like needles.

Gao Ming, who had sunk into the water, struggled hard to float to the surface. However, his head was covered with a thick layer of ice. Gao Ming repeatedly hit the ice with his pistol, but there was no sign of it breaking.

“Great job!!” Yamato, kneeling on the edge of the cliff, stretched out his hand towards the deep pool below the cliff.

"Stop it, you dare!" Yui hurried over to stop her.

Not far away, the prisoner was still staring at the two men. At this time, he said, "Over here!"

"Inspector Yamato!" Conan, Kogoro, Sato, and Takagi ran over when they heard the gunshot.

The prisoner, whose full-face helmet was damaged, dropped his gun and left the scene.

"Inspector Yamato, are you injured?" Kogoro asked with concern. Yamato pointed his cane at the bottom of the cliff and shouted, "Gao Ming is down there!"

On the deep pool covered with solid ice, there was a hole created by Gao Ming's fall.

The criminals who left Yamato and the others were walking in the woods.

When we got closer to the cliff, we saw something fell on the snow.

When he got closer, he picked up something that was half buried in the snow.

That was the P3 terminal that Gao Ming threw away.

Ran, Dr. Agasa, and the children took the Nagano Prefectural Police bus down the mountain and came to the cafeteria on the tenth floor of the prefectural government building where the Nagano Prefectural Police headquarters is located.

At this time, an urgent voice sounded from the loudspeaker used for broadcasting in the museum: "Repeat! The emergency signal just received from the Investigation Section 1, Zhufu Takaaki has been cancelled! The communication has been interrupted! Repeat!"

Everyone looked up at the speaker in surprise: "Inspector Morobushi..."

Gao Ming fell into a deep pool and was trapped under thick ice.

There was only a head-sized gap between the water surface and the ice. Although I could still breathe, I was immersed in the icy water and felt like I was frozen. My whole body was paralyzed and I had completely lost consciousness.

If we don’t escape from here quickly——Gao Ming emerged from the water and continued to hit the ice with the barrel of his pistol, but the ice showed no signs of cracking.

The hand holding the pistol was frozen and became weak.

Just then, the water suddenly rushed over.

"Hmm..." Gao Ming was instantly swallowed by the water flow, gurgling bubbles and slowly sinking into the water.

In his consciousness that was gradually becoming out of reach, Gao Ming muttered the words of the Chinese military advisor.

Life... has death... life is short... life is short...

People cannot avoid death, and ending a short life is destiny. This is what Gao Ming once said when he was sure that his younger brother Jingguang was dead.

"Where are you, Gao Ming! Answer me!"

Yamato, Conan and others who came down from the cliff searched desperately around the pool.

"No one was found near the ice hole where we fell!" Kogoro shouted as he looked around the cracked ice hole.

Yamato looked down at the snow beneath his feet and asked Yui, "What's under this snow?"

"Frozen river." Yui said.

Kogoro shifted his gaze to the top of the waterfall: "Could it have been washed away?"

Conan kicked the snow at his feet aside with his shoes, and then transparent ice like glass appeared.

Gao Ming is under such thick ice——

"Where's Inspector Morobushi's wireless GPS..." Sato asked. Yamato looked at his P3 terminal and said, "No signal..."

When Kogoro saw Yamato lowering his head in regret, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and looked back. When he saw the snow spreading out in front of the deep pool, a feeling of despair suddenly surged up.

"Damn it, damn it--!!" Kogoro's grief-stricken cry echoed in the snow-capped mountains for a long time.

Gao Ming, clutching the pistol tightly, floated unconscious in the icy water.

At this time, a voice calling Gao Ming came from somewhere.

“…….Brother……Brother…” the voice became louder and louder.

"elder brother!!"

As the voice sounded, someone grabbed Gao Ming's hand and pulled him up.

After Gao Ming was rescued from the water, he took a breath and began to cough violently.

After his breathing became easier, Gao Ming raised his head and looked, only to see a man holding his hand and kneeling on one knee on the ice.

The moment he saw that face, Gao Ming began to doubt his own eyes: "Is it... Jing Guang...?"

His younger brother Jingguang was right in front of him. The younger brother who should have been dead was now looking at him with a hearty smile.

"Finally caught up." Jingguang smiled.

"Jingguang... aren't you dead? Didn't you become a police officer?" Gao Ming asked in disbelief. Jingguang reluctantly let go of Gao Ming's hand.

“….The place I infiltrated, there was a very smart partner. That person disguised me as if I were dead.”

Gao Ming listened while looking at the scenery in front of him carefully. At this time, a mobile phone appeared from Jingguang's chest pocket.

The bullet marks and bloodstains left on the cell phone suddenly appeared in Gao Ming's mind.

“I heard my brother was missing after I returned to Nagano, so I came here through the police radio.”

The feeling of alienation and disharmony that suddenly came over me was completely confirmed by Jingguang's words.

Gao Ming gently grasped the powerlessly opened hand and felt the touch of metal as hard as a pistol.

Is consciousness starting to return?

Jing Guang slowly stood up: "But I really want to see you, brother, come on, let's go home together."

"...No, that's not right." Gao Ming stood up and looked directly at Jing Guang.

"If you were approached via the police radio, you can't be alone. Apparently, this isn't reality here."

Gao Ming once again felt the reality of Jingguang's death.

In the envelope received from the Metropolitan Police Department was Jingguang's cell phone with a bullet hole in it. When Gao Ming saw the phone, he knew that his brother had died.

Jingguang stood in front of Gao Ming and smiled quietly.

"Kagemitsu. I'm sorry..."

Gao Ming raised the pistol in his right hand and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Along with the sound of gunfire, the bullet broke through the ice and flew out.

Yamato and the others who were searching around the deep pool all turned their heads and looked over there: "There!"

Kogoro ran towards the direction where the ice fragments were sparkling, and Yamato and the others followed closely behind him.

A little further away from the deep pool, only the snow there melted, revealing the ice surface underneath, as if there had always been someone there.

There is also a small hole in the center.

It was most likely pierced by a bullet.

Down here!

Yamato used his walking stick to hit the ice, but the ice was much thicker than he had imagined, and no matter how many times he hit it, it didn't crack.

“It’s so thick!”

"What should we do?" Just when Kogoro and others were anxious, Conan quickly activated his foot strength enhancing shoes.

"Step aside!"

Conan released the football from his belt buckle into the sky, then jumped suddenly and kicked the ball onto the ice.

The football flew between Sato and Takagi and hit the ice directly with the bullet hole.

Due to the huge impact, cracks began to appear on the ice and it quickly shattered.

Takagi and others quickly ran to the cave entrance and began to push away the broken ice.

"I'll go down!" Kogoro jumped into the water and dived under the ice.

When he finally surfaced, he was holding Gao Ming, who had fainted, in his arms: "Hey! Are you okay?!"

Kogoro shook Gao Ming's body. Gao Ming first gasped slightly, and then started coughing violently.

"Still alive!" Sato couldn't help but exclaim, and Takagi pulled Gao Ming's body up.

"This is near the charcoal hut, ask for help from there!"

"Let's go first!" Takagi and Sato, carrying Gao Ming on their backs, walked towards the cabin together, and Conan followed behind.

At this time,

"Jingguang..."

Gao Ming, who was lying on Gao Mu's back in a trance, murmured.

Kazami's car stopped on the mountain road near the charcoal-burning hut.

Sitting in the driver's seat with headphones on, Kazami heard Gao Ming's whisper: ".......... Jingguang?"

Kazami repeated the name with a surprised look on his face.
