Conan's World: Ke Xue Wei Tan

Minoh Mountain area.

Because of the news that the wanted criminal had appeared, all the nearby police forces were concentrated in this area. The police station set up a dragnet, and people kept flickering in the originally silent jungle.

"Have you found it over there?"

"Not yet, send people to search immediately!"

"And the abandoned wooden houses over there might be hiding people!"

"I've looked for it, but there's no one inside."

"Keep looking!"

And so on.

In the abandoned wooden house that had just been searched, Sarye, who came with the police, pressed her back against the surrounding wood, her figure almost blending into the darkness. Until the sound disappeared, she slowly walked to the middle of the wooden house. Climb up the ladder in the middle.

Her movements were as light as a cat, but the ladder was old and still made a squeaking sound.

"You..." A trembling voice appeared from the hidden attic on the top of the wooden roof: "Are you here again?"

Who is he talking about?

Sariya had doubts in her heart, but she had already climbed to the attic. She patted the dust on her skirt and said in a calm and steady voice: "Numabuchi."

The person who appeared in front of him had messy hair, a decadent expression, and full of fear. He didn't look like a vicious serial murderer at all. He even shrank back, as if he had been stimulated by something.

After seeing Sarye, there was a trace of hesitation in Numabuchi's dull eyes, and he asked: "Who are you?"

Sariya stretched out her hand and pressed it on Numabuchi's shoulder, forming a controlling suppression, and asked: "I am Sakai, do you remember me?"

"Sakai..." Numabuchi recalled blankly for a while, then suddenly grabbed Sarie's arm, his eyes burst with hope, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "President! I was wrong! Please take me with you. Go back! President! I will never leave again!"

"Please hand me over to the police! I confess my guilt! Please don't take me back, please!"

His posture was humble and pitiful. Sarie couldn't imagine what could make a ruffian who once didn't care about anything kneel on the ground and pray to a girl who was so much younger than him.

She pulled on her gloves to avoid touching the surrounding spider webs, and asked: "What happened after you went to that organization? How did it become like this?"

"The medicine...it's those medicines!"

After just recalling it for a moment, Ma Yuan was trembling with pain. He wanted to hug himself with both hands, but was restrained by a burst of iron chains.

Only then did Sariya discover that Numabuchi's hands were still chained to a railing in the attic with a pair of handcuffs. There were no rust or scratches on the surface of the handcuffs, as if they had been hung up recently.

By the way, if Ma Yuan was imprisoned here, who was the one who committed those murders?

Sarie frowned slightly.

After Numabuchi calmed down, he looked at his former president again and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you here to take me back?"

"I have nothing to do with the organization from the beginning." Sarye shook her head, "It's just that the organization wants to kill you now, so I just took a look."

A glimmer of hope appeared on Ma Yuan's face, and turbid tears condensed in the corners of his eyes. He said desperately: "I knew... I knew they wouldn't let me go!"

He suddenly showed a hint of determination, pulled hard, and pulled off the handcuffs and the railing together, and shouted out with all his strength: "Hey! Hey! Police! I'm here!"

His move was sudden, but his tone was full of relief.

Sarye was just stunned for a moment, her eyes slowly darkened, but she didn't stop her.
