Chapter 616 Fireflies

After he finished speaking, led by Ze Yu, the members of the Junior Detective Team walked into the forest.

Soon after they entered the forest, they encountered a group of policemen, led by Officer Yamamura.

In the case of the Yabuuchi family, Conan once met Officer Yamamura.

"Officer Yamamura? Why are you here?" Conan walked up and asked curiously, "What happened?"

With the keen intuition of a famous detective, Conan seemed to smell the scent of the case.

"You are the little child in Detective Mouri's family." Officer Yamamura lowered his head and looked at Conan with some surprise.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he said earnestly: "Don't try to get close to me, it's very dangerous here, leave this forest immediately!"

"Officer Yamamura." Conan frowned, feeling something was wrong, and said quickly, "One of my friends got lost in this forest."

"Can you tell me what happened in this forest?"

"What? Your friend is missing?" Officer Shancun widened his eyes and said with a headache: "There is a cruel criminal hiding in this forest. He has killed several people in succession and is very dangerous."

"Murderer?" Conan's pupils shrank, and he asked anxiously: "Officer Yamamura, what does he look like?"

Officer Yamamura thought for a moment and said, "He is ugly and has a ferocious face. You can tell at a glance that he is not a good person. His name is 'Numabuchi Kiichiro'."

"Kiichiro Numabuchi?" Conan was stunned because he had an impression of this character.

The last time, in Osaka, Kiichiro was arrested by the police. In order to escape, he attempted to injure Xiaolan who was blocking the door with a knife.

Conan subconsciously stood in front of Xiaolan, and just when the knife in the other party's hand was about to stab Conan, the backup plan left by Ze Yu was triggered.

Jiichiro was knocked away by the lightning on the spot, fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Because Conan and Xiaolan almost encountered danger that time, he had a very deep impression of Kiichiro.

"It's that dangerous guy..." Conan narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "Mitsuhiko is in danger!"

"Xiao Yu..." Conan turned his head and wanted to talk to Ze Yu, asking him to take action quickly and save Mitsuhiko.

However, at this time, Conan discovered that Xiaoyu had disappeared.

"Haibara, where did Xiaoyu go?" Conan looked at Haibara Ai and asked in surprise.

He knew that among the Junior Detective League, Haibara Ai and Sawaha had the best relationship, and the two were always inseparable.

Haibara Ai must know Xiaoyu's whereabouts.

"Xiao Yu, he has already left." Huiyuan Ai said quietly: "Just when the police officer started talking."

"Huh?" Conan widened his eyes in surprise.

.........

at the same time.

A tall and thin figure was walking slowly in the forest. He had long hair and looked ugly, giving people a chilling feeling.

Even children who have just entered kindergarten will subconsciously think that this guy is a bad person when they see him.

This guy is the criminal mentioned by Officer Yamamura, Kiichiro Numabuchi.

His hands were handcuffed and he couldn't move, but he didn't care. He just lowered his head and walked forward aimlessly.

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Kiichiro Numabuchi's ears, making him stunned for a moment.

Jiichiro turned his head in surprise and looked at the beautiful little boy with blond hair who appeared not far away. Ze Yu tilted his head and looked at him curiously.

"I should be the one asking you this question." Jiichiro grinned and said grimly, "This is not a place for children to come."

"Really?" Ze Yu said with some doubt: "But, as far as I know, you often came here when you were a child."

"How did you know?" Jiichiro widened his eyes in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"You don't have to worry too much." Ze Yu shook his head and said, "I know that the reason you escaped here this time was just to see your old friend."

"After revisiting your childhood memories, it's time for you to face reality." Ze Yu said this while looking quietly at Jiichiro standing opposite him.

There was no anger, no smile, no sympathy in Ze Yu's eyes, only calmness, as calm as autumn water.

Because Ze Yu knew that although Jiichiro had killed many people and was a repeat offender, at this moment, he no longer had the intention to kill.

Jiichiro had already prepared himself to accept legal sanctions, but before that, he wanted to return to his childhood hometown to find the feeling of those days.

After revisiting his childhood memories, Kiichiro will turn himself in because he no longer wants to continue living that kind of life on the run.

Kiichiro is tired.

He didn't care what the consequences would be after turning himself in.

At this moment, Kiichiro is not so much a dangerous criminal as he is just a walking empty shell.

Hearing Ze Yu's words, Jiichiro was stunned. He was a little dazed and stood there quietly.

Ze Yu raised his palm.

Wow!
In the forest, there are a lot of fluorescent green light spots that are constantly gathering and dancing in the air.

This is a group of fireflies, and they are also old friends of Kiichiro when he was a child.

He deliberately fled to this place just to see the dancing fireflies again.

"Look." Ze Yu said with a gentle smile on his face, "What beautiful fireflies."

"Yes." Jiichiro raised his head, looked at the fluorescent green dots in the sky, and said blankly: "They are so beautiful..."

Against the backdrop of the beautiful fireflies, Jiichiro felt that he was becoming more and more ugly and hideous.

He suddenly sat down on the ground, his face full of dullness, his whole body seemed to have no bones, revealing a feeling of weakness and powerlessness.

This guy Jiichiro is completely useless.

Ze Yu shook his head, then opened his detective badge and said to Conan: "Conan, I have found the criminal. Please bring Officer Yamamura with you."

"Got it!" Conan's serious voice came from the other side of the badge.

.........

After a while.

When Conan arrived at the scene with Officer Yamamura and the Junior Detective League, he found Kiichiro sitting on the ground with a dazed look on his face.

The whole person seemed to have lost his backbone and looked like a fool.

"You guy!"

When he saw the criminal, Officer Yamamura's face showed excitement. He rushed forward immediately, grabbed Jiichiro's arm and pressed him to the ground.
