Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Ah, I saw it," Vodka confirmed that Gin's features were the same as those of the middle-aged woman in front of him, and continued to walk forward, "Brother, is that the woman who looks fierce and seems to want to beat us up?"

Gin: "..."

He has neither seen the image of Lark after his disguise, nor can he see Lark's current expression. How does he know whether the woman Lark is disguised as is evil?

Whether Lark wanted to beat up Vodka, he didn't know, but now he wanted to!

After a pause, Gin ignored Vodka's question that made him unable to answer, "Go up and hand your phone to him, then follow him, and he will arrange for you to leave."

"She...him?" Vodka wasn't sure why Gin called him "him". "Is that person trustworthy?"

Gin: "He's Lark."

Vodka relaxed instantly, walked forward with ease, and handed the phone to Chi Feichi, who was disguised as a middle-aged woman, "Pull..."

"Don't expose my information," Chi Feichi said in spite of her identity as a middle-aged woman. She also spoke in a sharp female voice. With her appearance and indifferent expression, she looked fierce and mean. She waited for Vodka to hold back her words. After that, he reached for the phone in Vodka's hand, put it to his ear, and stepped onto the escalator, "Follow me, let's go upstairs first."

Seeing Vodka follow the escalator, Hosokawa Masahiko quickly followed with three of his subordinates. He looked at the man in front of him who was dressed like a housewife and seemed to have a bad temper. He felt that he would be scolded if he said the wrong thing. The bloody middle-aged woman couldn't help but whisper to Vodka, "Your members are really... surprising. Do you have people from all walks of life?"

Vodka: "..."

This guy wouldn't think that the woman Lark was disguised in was a housewife of a certain family, would he?

Well, although Luck's disguise is indeed very good, if Luck hadn't been on the phone with Brother Gin now and communicated smoothly, he would have suspected that the person in front of him was actually just a housewife with a very bad temper...

"Hosokawa, you'd better not pry around!" Vodka choked out a final warning.

Lark doesn't let him reveal too much information, so don't try to trick him into making mistakes!

"Sorry," Hosokawa Masahiko quickly explained with a smile, "I didn't mean to inquire, I was just a little curious. If it's not convenient to disclose, just treat it as if I didn't ask."

Ahead, Chi Feichi didn't care what the people behind were arguing about. He used a middle-aged woman's voice to communicate with Gin on the phone, "The evacuation plan you prepared will cause a lot of noise. Let them use my evacuation plan to leave. The current situation has not reached that level yet..."

Not long after a group of people got on the escalator, the car elevator reached the fifth floor. Takagi Wataru and a policeman also in plainclothes got off the elevator, walked to the floor shopping guide manager not far away, and showed his ID.

Just when the police were looking for the manager to question, Chi Feichi and others who had left had already reached the sixth floor.

The sixth floor is the women's clothing and children's clothing area, as well as a few scattered shops selling women's accessories. The number of customers is much larger than that on the fifth floor.

The shopping mall's previous broadcast to help the police find witnesses was broadcast on every floor. Most of the customers and shopping guides on the sixth floor were discussing the robbery and wounding cases that occurred nearby in the morning.

Vodka and Masahiko Hosokawa, a group of grown men suddenly appeared in the women's clothing area, which was a bit eye-catching and attracted a lot of attention. However, some customers saw a vicious-looking middle-aged woman leading the way in front of them and automatically imagined a violent club. The boss's wife was out shopping, and her younger brother and bodyguard were following her to protect her. On the contrary, not many people kept staring at a group of people. Many people just took a curious look and looked away. After a group of people passed by, some people looked at a group of people. He turned his back and whispered a few words to his companions.

Chi Feichi led the way through the shopping area with a large number of people. He couldn't help but feel that in a country where underworld is legal, it is indeed more convenient to do things. When he arrived at the corner, he found an unrented shop and reached out to push the door that was not locked. He opened the door, handed the phone to Vodka, and led the way into the undecorated shop.

This shop is located in the corner of the shopping mall, far away from the car elevator, escalator, and restrooms. There are no shopping mall shelves nearby. Two of the three stores have closed, and one has stopped work in the middle of the renovation. Almost no customers come here. Come.

This kind of shop, which does not have an advantage in location, naturally cannot have bright windows, and it is pitch black inside. Even if there is a ventilation system designed in the mall, when a group of people enter, there is still a pungent smell of decoration materials mixed with paint. It hits your nose.

Chi Feichi walked in, reached out and turned on the light switch on the wall, then walked straight to the innermost small door, pressed the door handle, opened the door, and walked into the narrow small room inside.

The small room is less than five square meters. There is a large ventilation device installed on the wall. Next to it is a fan blade ventilation device with a diameter of one meter that is not running. Some light shines into the small room through the fan blades.

Those lights were dim and gloomy, not like direct sunlight outside, but they still made Hosokawa Masahiko and others' eyes brighten.

This is already the edge of the mall. There is a vent facing the outside in this place, which means they can get out of the building through this vent!

Chi Feichi's actions also confirmed the group's thoughts.

While Vodka was listening to Gin's phone call and Hosokawa Masahiko and others were looking at the room environment, Chi Feichi removed the fan blades that had all the screws removed, put the fan blades aside, and said in a sharp middle-aged female voice , "I hung a rope outside. You can climb down the rope and you will get to the back of the mall. I climbed down before and saw that the building outside is being demolished and rebuilt. Below is the aisle between the two buildings. Along the The passage can go all the way to the alley next to it.”

Hosokawa Masahiko walked into the small room, poked his head out from the position where the fan blades were removed, looked at the narrow and dark "line of ground" below, and then looked at the steel rope hanging on the outer wall, hesitatingly, "This is a six-story building." Lou, are we just going to climb down with bare hands? Doing this requires a lot of physical strength. If you don't hold on to the rope and fall down, you may be injured or even die."

Chi Feichi felt that Hosokawa Masahiko had too many things to do, and the middle-aged woman who was disguised as Rongcheng had no expression on her face, "You can also take off your clothes, wrap them on your hands as anti-cut gloves, and then grab the rope and slide down directly. It will be quick." That’s it.”

The light in the room was dim. Hosokawa Masahiko raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged woman with a fierce appearance with a gloomy face. He swallowed and said with a smile, "Well, this method is not bad."

"If you are not satisfied with this plan, I can also take you to the rooftop, let you tie a rope and slide to the top of the building next to you," Chi Feichi said with a cold face, turned around and left the room, "But You need to decide as soon as possible, I still have things to do next.”

Masahiko Hosokawa thought that he had gone to the top floor and had to rely on a safe and untested rope to slide from high altitude to a nearby building. Seeing that the height of the floor in front of him did not seem to be that high, he said seriously, "I think it will be enough to go down from here." Great! Now is not the time to waste time!"

"Pull..." When Vodka saw Chi Feichi walking out, he almost called out Chi Feichi's code name. When Chi Feichi looked back at him, he met Chi Feichi's calm eyes and remembered Chi Feichi's previous instructions. He immediately swallowed a certain code name and asked directly, "Aren't you going to evacuate with us?"

At the door of the small room, a middle-aged woman with a fierce appearance looked back at Vodka, with a faint and weird smile on her lips, "I'm going to the seventh floor to help Gin defuse bombs."

"B-bomb?!" Hosokawa Masahiko's scalp was numb. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the weird smile of the middle-aged woman in front of him, or by the news that there was a bomb upstairs.

It's also possible that it's both.
