Chapter 196: Sweet and Cold Delivery (Epilogue)
On the other side, Mitsuhiko was shivering with cold because he gave his coat to Haibara.
Ayumi asked kindly, "Mitsuhiko, are you okay? You haven't been moving since just now."
Guangyan exhaled white air from his mouth: "Well, I feel like I have defeated the cold. I no longer shiver from the cold."
This situation alerted the others, and Conan immediately jumped up: "Hey, this is even more dangerous."
As soon as Conan finished speaking, Mitsuhiko slowly lay down, which scared the others. Everyone quickly gathered around Mitsuhiko.
The little girl held up Guangyan's fingers, which had turned purple from the cold. "Guangyan is about to get frostbite. We have to find a way to keep him warm!"
Conan also turned on the flashlight and carefully checked Mitsuhiko's condition: "Damn, many people who died of freezing died because they felt warm before dying and took off their last piece of clothing that could keep them warm. This is bad."
Genta was a little scared: "Mitsuhiko lent his coat to Huibara, so now he is only wearing his inner clothes."
Ayumi was almost crying out of anxiety: "Mitsuhiko, wake up quickly, Mitsuhiko!"
"The most important thing now is to keep him warm. Let's get together quickly." The little girl took off her scarf and wrapped it around Mitsuhiko, then helped him up and called everyone over to provide some body temperature support.
At the entrance of Poirot Café, Xiaozi took away the captain's food bowl. The captain licked his paws and rubbed against the mercenary's feet.
"Oh, I didn't expect the captain to like this gentleman so much." Xiaozi looked at the mercenary with a smile on his face.
The mercenary gently rubbed the captain's head: "Maybe I'm more popular with the kittens."
Afterwards, Toru Amuro learned from Xiao Azusa that there were special characters on the receipt that had just flown away. At the same time, knowing that Conan was one of the people who would come here because of this cat, he immediately prepared to find the receipt that had flown away.
"What happened?" The mercenary stood up, and the captain was still rubbing against his legs.
"Well, a neighbor's kid is in trouble." Toru Amuro said and left.
Toru Amuro also had many doubts about the connection between Conan and the Oritis Organization. After all, last time at the Azoth Library, the attitude of the several curators there towards Conan was not like treating a child at all, but from the mercenary's face, he could not see any connection between them.
Soon, Toru Amuro estimated the location of the receipt based on the wind speed and direction. Sure enough, the receipt was circling around a telephone pole. He grabbed the receipt, looked at the special characters on it, and immediately realized that it was a letter for help.
Inside the carriage, Mitsuhiko finally woke up slowly at Ayumi's repeated calls, and then found that he was wearing the same clothes as Haibara.
"It's all my fault that you're in this trouble. Don't move. I'll keep you warm." Huibara said with a blushing face.
Mitsuhiko also blushed. He still had the little girl's scarf wrapped around his neck. "Oh, sorry for making you worry about me."
Conan re-analyzed the current situation: "This will make it even harder for us to escape."
Yuantai gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, we should be staying at the doctor's house and eating delicious cake."
Ayumi nodded: "I heard it was sent from the store in Yokohama."
This gave Conan an inspiration, and he searched among the goods and finally found the cake to be delivered to Dr. Agasa. He wrote the name "Kudo Shinichi" in front of the recipient with a ballpoint pen, so that the cake would be delivered to Okiya Subaru next door.
At the same time, he used a cotton swab to write down the difficulties they were facing on the bottom layer of carbon paper, thus conveying the message.
After a while, the car stopped and the two delivery staff talked to Subaru Okiya on the phone. Subaru Okiya immediately understood that it was Conan asking for help, so he handed a packaged mobile phone to the delivery staff and asked them to send it out.
The sound of a cabinet door opening was heard, and several people quickly hid behind a large box. The delivery staff threw the package that Subaru Okiya gave them into the box and closed the door.
Conan walked over and opened the package, and saw that there was indeed a mobile phone inside.
Huiyuan sighed, "Sure enough, in a situation like this, the most trustworthy weapon is the cell phone."
Conan turned on the flashlight and took out his cell phone from the box: "Yes, the safest and most reliable way to arrest them is for us to tell the police the current situation ourselves."
However, the door of the carriage opened again at this time, and the two delivery staff discovered the situation inside.
"You're not going to succeed, kid. I just noticed a subtle change in the configuration of the goods, so I took a quick peek. I didn't expect that besides the cat, there were six other thieves sneaking in."
"So I said, there are children's voices in it."
The two men planned to lock everyone in the cargo compartment and freeze them to death after stealing the mobile phones. They also thought that if a group of children's bodies were found around the deceased, it would become a mystery and they would never be able to be traced back to them.
At this moment, Toru Amuro arrived in a car. Seeing this, everyone called for help. The two delivery staff saw that the situation was not good and prepared to force the door of the cargo box closed.
One of the delivery staff glared at him fiercely: "Now that we've been seen, there's nothing we can do. If you don't want the little ghosts to be killed, then get in the cargo compartment!"
However, before he could finish his harsh words, he was interrupted by another angry shout.
"What are you two doing to my child?"
The one who spoke was the novelist. He seemed to be shrouded in black air, and his monocle reflected a strange light. Then, he rushed forward at lightning speed.
However, the novelist's aim was not very good. His body and fist brushed past the delivery man's body and then hit the door of the cargo compartment at the back.
There was a fist mark on the iron door of the cargo compartment. Conan, who was still in the compartment, looked at the protruding mark on the door and his glasses almost fell to the ground: This door is thickened, right?
The prospector following the novelist with a truffle cake in his hand: This is definitely because he drank too many drinks, he's not even acting.
Although the novelist's attack only caused damage to the door of the carriage, this scene still left a huge psychological shadow on the two delivery workers. One of them was so scared that he fell to the ground, and the other was knocked down by Amuro Toru with one punch.
As Toru Amuro tied up the two deliverymen with tape, he spoke to the novelist, "This gentleman's strength is truly impressive. What should I call him?"
The novelist's hands were swollen by now: "Orpheus, a novelist."
The explorer beside him bandaged the novelist's hands with a speechless look on his face. "I told you to show off, but now let's see how you can write a novel about us."
Conan asked how Amuro Toru got here, but Amuro Toru said he was just passing by and the receipt had been blown away by the wind. But it was obvious that Conan did not believe his words.
Afterwards, a group of people gathered at Dr. Agasa's house to eat Christmas cake, but when they opened it, they found that the cake had been smashed to pieces. Then Conan remembered that the two deliverymen would fall in front of the recipients in order to give false testimony and deepen the impression.
Fortunately, the novelist also brought a truffle cake, so everyone still had cake to eat, which was really a cause for celebration.
