The throat was tightly choked.

Conan instinctively tried to break free, but the disparity in strength between the two made his move useless.

Especially when he tried to break apart the hand that looked like iron pliers, what the skin transmitted to the nerves turned out to be a metal-like touch.

Damn...Damn it...

"Let go, let go..."

Conan was hoarse, trying his best but couldn't even speak a word.

The calm expression on Ye Gengyi's face didn't change at all, but the fingers that sank deeper and deeper into the opponent's flesh.

Conan could no longer make a sound, his face showed a distorted posture, and his lips began to tremble.

The world seems to be spinning.

An indescribable pain in his chest quickly spread, mixed with the fear of suffocation. He opened his mouth to breathe, but he couldn't pull out any air that could be inhaled into the trachea. crush.

Pulling becomes slapping.

Powerful turned into powerless.

soon.

The pair of arms that were used to get rid of the restraint hung down to the side, dancing irregularly, as if using another way to break free from the suffocation.

It's a pity, under the force that seems to be crushing, such a move is naturally useless.

There was a hallucinatory ringing sound in the ear.

Conan's entire face has turned purple, his eyes under the lens are rolling quickly, this behavior is unconscious, it is the body's defense mechanism that reduces the control of other organs except the brain, so as to reduce the consumption of oxygen.

Just a few minutes.

In Conan's senses, the passage is extremely slow, as if the whole world is stagnant.

Consciousness is clear for a moment.

But it gradually became blurred, as if the originally dark dock was much brighter now.

He saw the calm gleam in the man's eyes.

The atmosphere in the dock was also quiet, only the sound of a few not-so-clear waves lapping on the ship rang in my ears.

Ye Gengyi observed that the struggle of the boy in his hand had become weaker and weaker, not only his eyes but also his consciousness began to blur.

He loosened his hand casually.

"Cough cough cough..."

Conan suffered such torture, his face was as pale as paper, he breathed in the air he hadn't seen for a long time, and his almost stagnant blood and thoughts began to flow.

At the same time, his chest began to churn, and he retched for a while, then raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with eyes full of horror.

Ye Gengyi responded to the other party's gaze with words:

"It's really no fun just killing you like this. I thought about it carefully. Since you are here, the children who are with you should also be on this cruise ship. I haven't seen you for a long time. I still miss them."

"You...what are you going to do..." Conan suppressed the fear in his heart and asked in a weak voice.

"It's so funny that you think your questions can be answered."

Ye Gengyi took out the belt with the timer again, adjusted the time on it for a little display, and tied it on Conan's mouth in the way of wearing a muzzle: "Oh... I am just too soft-hearted, look No **** things, fortunately there is a morgue over there, it will depend on your luck later..."

"No, no, no, no..."

Conan made an inexplicable strange sound, but his struggle was doomed to have no effect at all, it could only be picked up again like an object.

…

Cold, cramped, dark.

The light in front of him is getting narrower and narrower, and the atmosphere is as heavy as a boulder.

Mortuary.

I'm afraid that any living person who is locked up in such a place in a sober state will have a creepy feeling.

Conan is no exception.

The watch was taken away, and at this moment, he could only rely on the bright red countdown light on the timer in his mouth to observe the environment he was in.

The power-enhancing shoes are there, as are the telescoping slings, bow-tie voice changers, and tracking glasses, but there's absolutely no room for them.

He had observed the structure of this mosaic refrigerator before. It was surrounded by thick steel plates on all sides, and the only entrance was designed and installed by the builder, Akiyoshi Mihako, out of consideration for the stability of the ship. A hydraulic door was installed.

If you step down by yourself, let alone break through the door, you may only deform the fixing frame of the mortuary box, thereby squeezing the limited living environment and oxygen.

But... speaking of oxygen.

Conan took out a foldable oxygen mask from his pocket, thinking bitterly.

This should be the one that Sonoko used in the morning, because there was not much left, and everyone was concerned about Sonoko's body at the time, so it was left here...

Fortunately, the man just left himself aside when he opened the door of the mortuary box, so he had the opportunity to secretly get this.

In a state of shock, the golden rescue time is between a few minutes and an hour.

But... Even so, if no one finds himself, there is only a dead end, because the countdown of the bomb in his mouth is exactly 60 minutes...

soft hearted person?

Is this just blowing my head off in a coma...

Conan found a position that was as uncomfortable as possible and lay in the mortuary box... This time he really had no choice.

…

"Huh? Conan is gone."

Ye Genyi appeared in the banquet hall with a can of coffee, and naturally joined the conversation of Dr. A Li and the others:

"Isn't that kid always like this? Leave him alone."

What if the little detective took the risk of using his power-boosting shoes to try and sabotage the mortuary?

Unfortunately... there is no such possibility at all.

Ye Geng destroyed the wiring inside his shoe early on.

Of course, turning the **** can still start, but in the absence of a central controller, leaving only an uncontrolled and regulated resistance movement, the consequence is to turn the electromagnetic amplification into a solid electrotherapy.

"However, I heard his voice in the detective armband before, and then the signal dropped."

Hui Yuanai frowned~lightnovelpub.net~ She has spare tracking glasses, but because of the previous broadcast, as a 'child' she must set an example for the other three, considering that if she returns To get the room, you still need to let the doctor and the others go with you. There is really no need to take everyone to take risks because of the uncertainty.

"More, how is the investigation going on in the guest room?" Dr. Ali asked.

"A few minutes ago, a lot of smoke suddenly came out of the former Prime Minister's room. The specific situation is not clear. After I heard the news, I immediately came back to the banquet hall to confirm your situation." Ye Gengyi said.

"There won't be a real bomb, right?" The three villains looked worried.

Not discussing the missing little detective so easily?

Ye Geng paused, as if thinking for a moment, and analyzed: "Not necessarily... Judging from the current situation, it should be a bluff. The other party may have other purposes, and I don't know."
