Chapter 261 Progress
"Since I've known Sonoko, I've accidentally gotten her hurt twice, and it was all my fault."

"I've learned my lesson. It won't happen again."

Masahiko gasped and said with a look of pain on his face, but in his heart he was disgusted by himself.

But there is no way, the show still has to go on.

However, he hated Ze Yu even more, and the hatred in his heart reached a new level.

Masahiko swore that he would never let this blond kid off easily!
Ze Yu ignored him, turned around and looked at Xiaolan, smiled slightly, and said: "Of course, Sister Xiaolan is the same."

Hearing this, Xiaolan was stunned.

Conan was also confused.

How come this fire suddenly burned him?

I was enjoying the melon at first, but the next moment, I became the one being watched by the crowd...

Why am I so pitiful?

Is Xiaoyu targeting me on purpose?

Conan had a bad feeling in his heart.

If I can't protect Xiaolan in the future and let her get into danger...

Xiaoyu will kill himself, right?
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but tremble a little and made a firm decision.

Whether it is out of Xiaoyu's supervision or out of his responsibility as a boyfriend, he must protect Xiaolan and never let her encounter any danger!
I swear on my own behalf as Xiaolan’s future boyfriend!
Haibara Ai stood quietly beside Ze Yu, her face calm, but a hint of warmth quietly arose in her heart.

Since Xiaoyu would use such high standards to restrain his two "brothers-in-law", then he would surely set an example himself, right?
If you think about it carefully, hasn't he been doing this since I met Ze Yu?

Since that day when she was picked up by Ze Yu and brought home, she has never encountered any danger since she opened her eyes.

At most it was just a close call.

Because the moment Haibara Ai encounters danger, Ze Yu will immediately appear in front of her and become the best shield.

…………

After a while...

Officer Yokomizo led many police officers to the scene and quietly observed the scrapped car.

"How on earth did you do it?"

The more he observed, the more surprised Officer Yokomizo became. He was shocked and said, "They actually messed up the car like this..."

It's just to force a car to stop, there's no need to go to this extent, right?

All four tires burst and even the engine was smoking!

If Officer Yokomizo hadn't known the inside story, he would have even thought that the car had been in a serious accident.

Restraining his shock, Officer Yokomizo started a discussion with his men.

Because a police officer salvaged a small car lock from the sea, Officer Yokomizo was very sure that today's accident was not an accident but was caused by human factors.

"Sonoko, did you notice any strange people wandering outside the car while you were sleeping?" Officer Yokomizo asked seriously.

"I was asleep, so I didn't notice it, but if I had to talk about it..."

Sonoko looked at Kyogoku Makoto who was standing behind her and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Since we came to Izu, there has been a person who always appears beside us inexplicably."

“Besides, he is still here at the scene.”

There was a hint of accusation in Sonoko's tone.

Ze Yu finally understood that Sonoko's vigilance was directed at the two strangers, Masahiko and Kyogoku Makoto. She not only did not trust Masahiko, but also did not trust Kyogoku Makoto, and thought that both of them could be the murderer.

After being accused by Sonoko, Kyogoku remained silent. Anyway, he was not a talkative person.

Upon hearing this, Officer Yokomizo walked up to Kyogoku Makoto and conducted the usual questioning.

Kyogoku Makoto was not the murderer and had nothing to hide. He found an excuse and answered Officer Yokomizo's questions in a dignified manner.

After some investigation, Officer Yokomizo found nothing for the time being, so he decided to return to the Metropolitan Police Department and conduct a detailed investigation.

For safety reasons, Officer Yokomizo would like to invite everyone to take a police car to the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, because Yuanzi had just been in a car accident and had some psychological trauma, she did not want to take the ride.

Officer Yokomizo was very worried, but Sonoko insisted and refused to take the ride, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the end, Officer Yokomizo took the police team back, and everyone chose to walk home.

Sonoko originally only wanted to go back with Xiaolan and the others, and didn't want to bring Masahiko and Kyogoku Makoto, two guys who might be the murderers.

But Zheng Yan followed her without any self-awareness, and she couldn't just chase him away, so she could only acquiesce to his participation.

Seeing that Masahiko chose to follow everyone, Kyogoku Shinya walked into the team.

Then, everyone walked and chatted.

Of course, the only people chatting were Xiaolan, Sonoko, and Masahiko, while everyone else remained silent the whole time.

After a while, a fat man appeared behind everyone. He pulled down the brim of his hat to cover his face and followed everyone closely.

"Sonoko, we're being followed." Masahiko suddenly grabbed Sonoko's arm and whispered, "Let's hide in the woods and get rid of this guy!"

After saying that, Masahiko rushed into the woods on the side of the road with her, before the stunned Sonoko could react.

The others quickly followed and ran into the forest, but because they were not familiar with the terrain there, they got separated.

The fat man followed closely behind, following everyone's footsteps and also went into the woods.

Then, he met Conan and Xiaolan who had run away. The two sides stood in the woods and confronted each other.

…………

call!
Kyogoku Makoto was running quickly in the forest.

Masahiko moved quickly, and when Kyogoku Makoto ran into the forest, Sonoko had already disappeared from his sight.

In other words, he lost track.

But Kyogoku was not discouraged, but patiently searched for Sonoko in the forest.

"Hey, big guy."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Kyogoku Makoto's ears, and he reacted quickly.

It was the voice of the little blond boy.

The sound came from above. Kyogoku Makoto quickly looked up and was surprised to find that Sawawa was sitting on a branch, above him, swinging his little feet leisurely.

"Why did you run up the tree?" Kyogoku Makoto asked expressionlessly.

"Why do you care about this?"

Without the presence of his two older sisters, Xiaolan and Sonoko, Ze Yu didn't need to pretend and simply let himself go with a look of complete comfort. When facing Kyogoku Makoto, he didn't even call him "big brother".

"By the way, you and that smooth-talking guy both want to pursue Sister Sonoko, right?" Ze Yu said bluntly.
