Chapter 191 The mysterious visitor
Chapter 192 Mysterious Visitor
At night, Xiaolan was alone in her father's office, looking at the scenery outside the window. The lights were off, and the dimness and silence of the room seemed to highlight the worry and confusion on Xiaolan's face. What happened today seemed to have left a big shadow on Xiaolan.
Ding-a-ling... Ding-a-ling...
While Xiaolan was hesitating, the phone on the table suddenly rang. She turned around and hurriedly answered the phone, and a very cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey Xiaolan, I haven't contacted you for a long time."
"Shin, Shinichi?" Xiaolan's eyes were full of surprise. Yes, it was indeed Kudo who called. After Conan and I returned to the room, Conan took out his cell phone and planned to call Xiaolan to comfort her. And what about me? I went downstairs and stood at the door of my father's reception room. After the two of them finished their phone calls, I went in to talk to Xiaolan and comfort her again.
"Ah, I've just heard from Professor Agasa about what happened on your side. It's really unbelievable." Kudo's slightly helpless voice reached Xiaolan's ears.
"What's so unbelievable, where are you now?" Xiaolan said with tears in her eyes, as if she had found a way to vent. "Hey, Shinichi, please come back soon."
"Well... I have a lot of cases here, and I can't get away from them for the time being, so..."
. . . . . .
On the other side, I stood at the door and looked at Xiaolan's anxious look in the room, and I couldn't help but feel distressed. Yes, my mother was attacked, and my father was also a target. Now Xiaolan recalled the incident of her father shooting her mother ten years ago. As a daughter, she is under great pressure at this moment. Perhaps in her heart, the reason why her mother and father separated has been redefined.
After a long time, Xiaolan hung up the phone, but the sadness and confusion in her eyes became more intense. It seemed that Kudo's comfort to Xiaolan was not effective, or perhaps even Kudo himself could not understand why my father shot my mother. Sighing slightly, I opened the door and walked towards Xiaolan.
"Sister Xiaolan." I turned on the light in the room and called softly.
"Hey? Xiaoxun?" Seeing me come in, Xiaolan wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at me. "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Well, I heard some noise here, so I came down to take a look." I explained. "But you, Xiaolan, why haven't you rested yet?"
"I..." Xiao Lan Dai frowned slightly. "I am a little concerned about what happened during the day."
"What happened during the day? Were Dr. Agasa and the others attacked or was it because of what Officer Shiratori said?" I asked even though I knew the answer.
"Yeah, both of them." Xiaolan said worriedly. "Hey, Xiaoxun, tell me, why did Dad shoot Mom? I don't even dare to trust Dad anymore."
"Are you still struggling with this?" I thought to myself as I saw Xiaolan eager to find the answer. "Forget it, just tell her." After thinking about it, I finally decided to tell Xiaolan the answer.
"Sister Xiaolan, although Uncle Maori shot Aunt Eri, that may not be the truth you saw."
"Huh?" Xiaolan was surprised, because Kudo had said the same thing on the phone just now. "Just now, Shinichi said the same thing, but why?" Xiaolan was even more confused.
"Well... have you asked Auntie Yingli where the bullet hurt you?" I asked with a smile on my face. But Xiaolan just shook her head.
"So, Auntie Yingli has not shown any discomfort so far, which proves that uncle's shot did not injure Auntie Yingli's vital parts. So I think that shot may have a reason."
After hearing what I said, Xiaolan fell into deep thought. But judging from her expression, she still didn't seem to understand.
"How about this, Sister Xiaolan, let's review the scene."
"Huh?" Xiaolan was puzzled.
"Well, according to your memory, do you still remember the scene at that time?" I asked calmly.
"What I remember seeing was that my mother fell to the ground because of my father's shot, and then my father shot Murakami in the shoulder again. Only then did he subdue him." Xiaolan said thoughtfully.
"Well, let's recreate the scene at that time." I smiled. "Now, I am Aunt Yingli, and you are Murakami, Xiaolan. Then, please hold me hostage and let's see the effect."
"Okay..." After thinking about it, Xiaolan agreed with me. Then, Xiaolan knelt behind me, locked my neck with one hand, and pointed the other hand at my head like a pistol. "Well, that should be it."
"Well, with the right hand locking the prisoner's neck and the left hand holding the gun, the prisoner is blocking the prisoner's body. If Uncle Maori wants to shoot, the chance of hitting the prisoner is much smaller. Right?" I turned to Xiaolan and she nodded slightly. So I continued, "So, in order to hit the prisoner, what should we do? What if it's Xiaolan?"
"Well... if I was being held hostage..." Xiaolan raised her head and thought for a moment. "I should just use karate to subdue the criminal, right?"
"..." I rubbed my forehead helplessly. Could Xiaolan not be so silly at this moment? "Okay, if karate cannot be used."
"Hmm... I don't know."
"The criminals hijacked the hostages to protect themselves. What the police have to do is to rescue the hostages and then subdue the criminals." I said, gently pulling Xiaolan's arm locked around my neck. "When a person is held hostage, his body is very uncomfortable, and he will also be afraid in his heart, so he will struggle. For this reason, he must maintain a posture that will not make the criminals impulsive, that is, to master his own balance. This action is subconscious. Only people like you, Xiaolan, who have practiced Taekwondo or have some basics will not feel fear."
"Eh? Is that so?" Xiaolan tilted her head. "Well, that's probably it." I said with a smile, "So, in order for the police to subdue the criminals directly, what should we do? That is, get out of the control of the criminals and create space for the police."
"Huh?!" Xiaolan was shocked.
"Well, I think Uncle Maori saw through this, so..."
dong dong dong.
Before I could finish my words, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
"Who is this?" Xiaolan stood up subconsciously when she heard the sound of the door.
"Hello, is this the Maori Detective Agency?" A sweet voice came from outside the door. Xiaolan was slightly startled when she heard the voice, and then she quickly ran over to open the door.
With a creak, the door opened, and the person in front of Xiaolan made her feel a little surprised. It was a beautiful woman with a good figure. She was wearing white boots, black stockings, and a white dress that showed off her perfect figure to the fullest. Her bright red eyes were stunningly beautiful, but the most eye-catching thing was her silver hair that fell to her waist. It was as soft and bright as a silver waterfall.
"Yes, yes. May I ask who you are?" After staring for a long time, Xiaolan suddenly reacted and greeted with a blush.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Ming Yaxun's mother, Ming Ya Jingliu. Xiaoxun has been causing you trouble these days." "Eh, eh eh eh?!!!"

"I didn't expect that Xiaoxun's mother is such a beautiful person." A few minutes later, Xiaolan came to the reception table with two cups of tea. Indeed, Xiaolan was also somewhat surprised by this sudden visitor. Who would have thought that someone would visit at such a time?
"No, you're flattering me, Xiaolan." Jing Liu smiled generously. "As for Xiaoxun, I'm glad she didn't cause any trouble to you." As he spoke, Jing Liu held me in his arms. Facing Jing Liu's intimate behavior, I could only go forward and cooperate.
"How could that be? Xiaoxun is a very smart child. With him around, my father can always find a lot of inspiration and clues from Xiaoxun's words and deeds when solving a case." Xiaolan said politely.
"That would be great if that's the case." Jingliu said with a smile. "To be honest, our work always requires us to go abroad, so we have no one to take care of Xiaoxun. We had no choice but to entrust him to Dr. Agasa. We didn't know that Dr. Agasa would give the child to you. Please allow me to apologize again for the trouble I have caused you. Secondly, my work here has just ended, and I should have a two or three days of rest, so I want to take Xiaoxun back to stay for a while. I have to send him back in two days, so I want to ask your opinion. I wonder if Mr. Maori can agree?"
"Ah, that..." Xiaolan was a little embarrassed. "My father is still working, so it's not convenient for him to make a decision, and my mother is recuperating recently. So..."
"Eh?!" Jingliu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he lowered his head to look at me, and my face turned colder because of Xiaolan's words. "Is that so? Then we won't disturb your father and mother. I wonder if Xiaolan can allow me to take Xiaoxun back with me?"
"Oh, of course that's possible." Xiaolan replied quickly.
"Well, thank you, Xiaolan. I will stay with Xun for two days. After that, I will trouble you to continue to help me take care of him." After saying that, Jingliu helped me stand up.
"You're welcome." Xiaolan also stood up and walked us to the door.
"Well, Xiaolan, it's getting late, please stay." Jingliu spoke again at the door of the room, and Xiaolan did not continue to chase me, but just stood at the door and waved to me. Then she watched Jingliu take me out.
"Huh...thank you, Sister Jingliu." Walking down the stairs, I breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all the way here... woooooo!!!" Before I could finish my words, Jingliu pressed my head into her arms and rubbed it vigorously.
"Bing~ I miss you so much~" Just after walking out of the door, Jingliu's maternal temperament completely collapsed in an instant, and she returned to her former charming and playful look.
"Hey~ Hey... My fault, my fault. I haven't contacted you for too long, please let me go first, let go... Wuuwuwu..." Before I finished speaking, I was once again overwhelmed by the magnificence of Jingliu's chest. It seemed that I hadn't visited Jingliu for too long, and now I finally caught this doll again, and Jingliu didn't intend to let go so easily.
Holding me, Jingliu turned two streets. At the next intersection, I saw the Ferrari that I had given Jingliu. The three sisters of the Ning family stood straight beside the car. When they saw me coming, they immediately bowed and greeted me.
"Mr. Mingya."
"Mr. Mingya."
"Mr. Mingya."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." I got down from Jingliu's arms and nodded to them. "It's so late for you to come here."
"That's not true, Mr. Mingya." Ningxue bowed. "I wonder why Mr. Mingya asked us to come here?"
"Ah, let's go home first. We can talk about anything when we get home." I said slowly.
"Yes."
Without further ado, Ningxue walked to the driver's seat and started the car. After several people got in the car, Ningxue stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
