[Conan] I just want to be a magician quietly

The last words of the murderer in the Golden Apple case before his arrest echoed in Xiaolan's ears like a spell. Even chaotic thoughts kept interweaving in her mind. Although the armor didn't give her a loving hug because of Ruo Muliang, she still tripped accidentally after Ruo Muliang left the scene and was almost stabbed in the eye by the scattered prop knife. This girl's luck is not very good. Mao Lilan found it in time and pulled her at the last second. If I didn't save her at that time, would the subsequent murders not have happened? Was it because of me that Mr. Gis was killed? It's all my fault...

The rear window of the taxi was open, and the cool raindrops and the night view of New York barely maintained Xiaolan's last calm.

Coincidentally, at this moment, as if it was fate, the handkerchief that Vermouth gave Xiaolan was blown away by a gust of wind and hung on the railing outside the unmanned building where Vermouth temporarily hid.

Shinichi got off the car helplessly, observed the terrain, and walked into the dark building.

Of course, you have to pamper your childhood sweetheart.

"I'll help you get it down, you wait for me in the car. I had some signs of a cold this morning, don't catch a cold again."

Mouri Ran stayed where she was, staring blankly at the direction where Shinichi disappeared.

Footsteps suddenly sounded in the empty alley, and a man wearing a knitted hat and looking a little cold appeared in front of Maori Ran.

A neon man with long hair... highway, highway demon?

The man's left hand in his pocket seemed to have taken out a pistol. Mao Lilan subconsciously clenched the umbrella handle, but her body could not move because of illness and fear.

Tsk tsk, Shuichi is out to scare children again. He has always been good at scaring children.

Today's target for intimidating minors (1/1) has been achieved.

Wakagi Ryo followed the FBI team to the vicinity.

Pulling open the small map, it was confirmed that Vermouth's vital signs were stable and there was no danger of life, so Wakagi Ryo chose a small corner that was not exposed to rain and continued to watch Shuichi's first-person perspective.

Sexy Shuichi, live online.

Mao Lilan was not the only one who was scared. The taxi driver was also scared and sweated all over. He yelled at Mao Lilan: "Get in the car! This must be the serial killer, run!!"

The remaining professional ethics could not suppress the driver's fear. Seeing that Mao Lilan did not move a step, the driver simply stepped on the accelerator and fled the scene.

Shuichi Akai glanced indifferently in the direction of the taxi and warned Ran Maoli in a cold voice.

"The last warning, you and your companions, leave here quickly."

So, the murderer is indeed nearby, right?

Ran Maoli resisted the dizziness and rushed into the empty building, looking for Shinichi's trace along the stairs.

But unexpectedly, she ran into a middle-aged man with silver hair.

"Ran! Run, he is the road demon!"

Shinichi poked his head out from a higher floor, warned Xiaolan loudly, and then ran downstairs and rushed in Xiaolan's direction.

Vermouth leaned on the railing to save energy, and fled here with a gunshot wound in her abdomen. Her condition was less than one-third of her usual state.

She took out the silencer from her clothes and aimed her gun at Ran Maoli.

At this moment, Mao Lilan's passive skill "European Emperor Halo" was activated, and the railing that Vermouth leaned on creaked, indicating that it would break. Vermouth, who lost her center of gravity, immediately fell downstairs.

Mao Lilan had no time to think, but instinctively rushed over and grabbed Vermouth's coat.

Shinichi, who came later, followed and rushed over, protecting Xiaolan with one hand to prevent her from being pulled down the stairs by gravity, and also grabbed Vermouth's coat with the other hand, trying his best to pull it up.

Then, the two high school students who intended to save people found that the murderer actually used the force to do a clever somersault and stepped back onto the platform to stand firm.

"Why do you want to save me?"

Shinichi exhaled and said, "What reason is there? Killing may require a motive, but saving people will not consider so much."

Yes, when saving people, there is only instinct, how can there be time to consider so much.

Xiaolan heard this, and the depressed emotions that had been pent up in her heart suddenly dissipated, and then she could no longer withstand the invasion of the disease, and fell

Lost consciousness on the ground.

"Lan!"

Kudo Shinichi immediately turned around and picked up Xiaolan.

Vermouth raised the gun with some hesitation.

"I advise you not to do this. You were injured, and there was no time to deal with the bloodstains in the building. This shows that you were in a hurry and the pursuers should be nearby. The silencer has just fallen to the bottom of the building. If you shoot now, the gunshot will definitely attract the pursuers.

It's just that I don't have time to arrest you for the time being."

Shinichi glanced at Xiaolan in his arms gently.

"I'll let you go for the time being this time, but it won't be so easy next time I meet you. I will find all the clues and evidence, so that you have no chance to change your confession. I don't believe I can't send you to hell!"

He walked down the stairs step by step with Xiaolan in his arms, exposing his back to Vermouth without fear throughout the whole process.

Vermouth's finger hovered on the trigger for a long time, and he didn't shoot the fatal bullets at the two high school students after all.

The footsteps gradually weakened and disappeared.

Vermouth sat down against the wall with exhaustion, and suddenly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Angel and Cool Guy?"

"Ms. Winyard?"

Ruomu Liang quietly poked his head out from downstairs and waved to Vermouth with a smile.

Vermouth was shocked. When did he come? He didn't hear any movement.

Did he see what happened just now? Those two children, will they...

"It's great that you're okay. I finally got rid of the FBI outside and sneaked in to find you. Oh, by the way, I cleaned up the bloodstains downstairs and the fingerprints you accidentally left."

Ruomu Liang walked up the stairs, and Vermouth saw that he was still holding the unconscious murderer in his hand.

He walked to Vermouth with the murderer, observed for a moment, and suddenly took out a pistol, installed a silencer, and fired a shot at the same position in the murderer's lower abdomen.

Then he wiped off the fingerprints, put the gun into the murderer's hand, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

Belmode watched coldly as Ruo Muliang methodically created the scene. He didn't know what means he used to subdue the murderer. He couldn't even wake up after being shot in the abdomen.

He lost his life in a deep sleep.

"The bullet needs to be taken out somewhere. Now I can only bandage you briefly for the time being."

Ruo Muliang took out a small roll of bandage from his pocket and treated the wound on Belmode's lower abdomen.

As for why his bandaging technique is so skillful, EMMM, have you heard of "long illness makes a doctor"?

"Are there other places that need me to clean up?"

Ruo Muliang looked at Belmode with an expectant look. From the beginning of the mission to now, the Thousand-Faced Witch has successively provided him with 20,000 emotional points, and he feels that he is one step closer to skill freedom.

"... Upstairs, I've been up to the 17th floor."

"Okay, wait for me here."

Vermouth watched Wakamura Ryo's back disappear upstairs, and then glanced at the serial killer who was unconscious until his death not far away, lowered his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Five minutes later, Wakamura Ryo returned to Vermouth's floor.

He bent down, carefully avoided the wound on Vermouth's waist and abdomen, put her hand on his shoulder, and half-supported and half-carried Vermouth to slowly go downstairs.

"Is this mission considered a failure?"

"Well, there is no better opportunity to take action against Akai Shuichi for the time being. I will hand over the mission report to the boss, you don't have to worry about it."

"Then, can I go back a little later, ma'am?"

"What do you want to do?"

Wakamura Ryo turned his head, blinked, and showed an innocent expression.

"I want to go to Schindler's company."
