Chapter 334 As Long as You Are Here
Chapter 340 As Long as You Are Here
Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone. Four chapters in one go.
The sudden disappearance of Kyosuke Fudo has made me firm in my belief that he is the murderer. Just this afternoon, Xiaolan just returned home from Yakushino Hospital, and Ningxue came to Yakushino Hospital not long after. It should have been working hours at that time. It is really abnormal for Kyosuke Fudo to disappear at this time. The news from Ningxue is that Dr. Fudo asked for leave from the hospital and left work early. No one answered the phone call from the hospital. So, for safety reasons, I immediately left my villa, drove home, and ambushed near the Maori Detective Agency, while Ningxue stayed in the hospital. If Kyosuke Fudo appeared, he would be controlled as soon as possible. It's a pity that Ningxue couldn't get Fudo's address in a short time, otherwise we would all go to search his house.
At eight o'clock in the evening, I returned to the vicinity of the office. I called my mother in the car and found out that she had returned to her home. Because there was a very important lawsuit tomorrow and she had to appear in it, she had no choice but to return to her apartment.
"What? Xiaolan is going to the Tropical Park tomorrow?" After chatting with my mother for a while, I learned that Xiaolan was going to the Tropical Park tomorrow. The reason was that Xiaolan saw the castle in the Tropical Park on TV in the hospital and seemed to have recovered some of her memory. After the diagnosis, it was learned that Xiaolan's memory had already shown a trend of recovery, so my father decided to take Xiaolan to the Tropical Park tomorrow.
"Xiaoxun, Xiaolan said not to tell Conan about this, and your dad is taking Xiaolan there, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"Who made the final diagnosis for Xiaolan?" I didn't respond to my mother's question, but asked what I was thinking.
"Eh?" Mom was slightly stunned, not understanding why I asked that. "It's Doctor Fenghu, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing." I asked immediately. "Just wanted to ask." After a few tenths of a second of thinking, I decided not to tell my mother about this. If Feng Hu was the one who diagnosed Xiao Lan in the end, then with his disappearance now, I can be 80% sure that he is the criminal. If there is no harvest from Ning Xue tonight, then it can be 100% certain that Feng Hu is the criminal. "I will go to the Tropical Park tomorrow. Don't worry about Xiao Lan, mom."
"Well, Xiaoxun, you have to be careful too. The criminal has a gun."
"Ha, I have too, don't worry, mom. I won't do anything out of line unless it's absolutely necessary." I consoled my mom. "Work hard tomorrow, Xiaolan's safety is in my hands."
"You kid..." Mom scolded me. "Okay, but don't do anything dangerous. Mom doesn't want either you or Xiaolan to get hurt."
"Yeah~ I will definitely send Xiaolan and myself back to you intact." I chuckled. "Then I'm hanging up."
"Well, go to bed early, Xiaoxun. Good night."
"Good night, Mom." After hanging up the phone with my mom, I leaned back in the car seat and let out a long breath. I wondered whether I should go back now and stay with Xiaolan. But if I do this, once the criminal shows up, I will be restrained and unable to exert my full strength. After all, the other party is armed. If there is really a bullet that hits Xiaolan, then even if I regret it for the rest of my life, I can't make up for my mistake. On the other hand, it is not an easy task to find a commanding position in an amusement park with tens of thousands of people and shoot the criminal without anyone noticing if I am not by Xiaolan's side for close protection. If I get close, I am afraid that the criminal will attack indiscriminately. Neither side is a good choice. After thinking it over, I decided that it would be better to secretly follow Xiaolan who is going out tomorrow. As long as I pay a little attention, there should be no problem. Besides, I have also seen Feng Hu, and as long as he shows up, I will definitely be able to recognize him.

Dong Dong.
Just when I was still thinking about how to kill Fenghu in an amusement park with tens of thousands of people, someone knocked on my car window. I turned my head and saw that it was Conan. It seemed that a supercar parked on the side of the road was indeed quite conspicuous. Although the dark car window obscured the person inside, with Conan's wisdom, he was almost sure that the sports car that suddenly appeared a street away from the office was me.
"What's wrong?" I opened the door on the other side, let Conan sit in, and asked at the same time.
"Isn't your supercar a bit too eye-catching here?" Conan complained sarcastically.
"You can't make me do the same as Officer Chiba at the door, right?" I winked at the car where Chiba was in front of the office from half a street away. Although I couldn't see inside the car from this distance, I could vaguely see the hand holding the hamburger and putting it into his mouth through the window. "What's wrong? What do you want from me?"
"No, I'm just exchanging information with you again." Conan said calmly. "You have made some new discoveries, right?"
"Huh? Where did you get this from?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at Conan.
"If there is no new information, would you come here to guard Xiaolan in person?" Conan smiled. "Tell me, hiding your secrets at this time is not a good choice."
"Ah... you are worthy of being a detective's brain. You can find some clues with just a little effort." I put my arm on the car window, rubbed my temple with my hand and said helplessly. "The information I got here is that Fudo Kyosuke disappeared near dusk today. Not long after Xiaolan was discharged from the hospital."
"Didn't you say to close the net?"
"I just wanted someone to control him, but I didn't expect him to escape just when we were about to close the net."
"So you immediately determined that he was the criminal?"
"There is no direct evidence. Maybe I will get some results tomorrow." I said truthfully. "That's why I came back in person."
"Then why don't you go back?" Conan frowned. "Are you protecting here secretly just to cover up the fact that you can shoot at will?"
"Xiao Lan just lost her memory, not permanently. She will remember everything soon, leaving little time for the criminal. If the criminal really attacks tonight, do you think anyone present, except me, can dodge all the bullets in the first place?" I rolled my eyes at Conan. "Besides, if the criminal is really Fuhu, do you think the chances of him getting past Chiba are low? Just say I'm here for a consultation, and Chiba will let him go. After dealing with all the people upstairs, he just needs to come down and kill Officer Chiba, and the whole case will instantly become a mystery. Maybe in order to reduce his exposure, he can even design an explosion and injure himself or something. By then, no one will suspect him. If his brain is better, he can still..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Conan hurriedly stopped. "Not everyone can do everything as perfectly as you do." Conan complained. "Tell me how we can find the decisive evidence. Otherwise, even if you kill him with one shot, it will only expand one mystery into two."
"I'll continue to wait for news. You go to the Yakushino Hospital in person tomorrow to look for clues. With a two-pronged approach, even if the criminal is not Feng Hu, we can narrow down the suspects to a certain range." I suggested.
"Okay, I understand." Conan nodded. "But you have to promise me that if the criminal shows up, don't kill him."
"Only if everyone's safety is guaranteed." I added a condition. Conan nodded silently, then got off the car and went home. He acquiesced to my statement. Yes, if the criminal is really Fudo Kyousuke, then the problem I just mentioned is likely to happen. With his family threatened, Conan knew he couldn't stop me. So, he chose to acquiesce.
"Hmm... After all, it's better not to tell him about Xiaolan's schedule tomorrow." I muttered to myself as I watched Conan leave. "Tomorrow should be Fuhu's last chance to take action. Once Taichi gets the evidence of the call, no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to escape legal sanctions, although Conan still has to collect the evidence. But this has given me enough reasons to take action. And Fuhu knows about going to the tropical park. As long as he is really the criminal, he will not miss this last chance. Since the opportunity is rare... Let's not let Conan make trouble." After thinking about it, a dangerous smile appeared at the corner of my mouth, and the smile disappeared in an instant. "But... are you really not going to kill him?"
——————————Detective Conan The Movie 4 & The Assassin in the Pupil————————————
A night of surveillance left me a little depressed, but fortunately it didn't affect my work too much.
"Mr. Mingya, breakfast." After the sound of the car door opening, Ningxue handed me the food she had just bought from the convenience store. Ningxue, who had been busy all day yesterday, found my location in the early hours of the morning and rested in the back seat of my car for a night. Her purpose was to help me complete this surveillance with me.
"Well, thank you." I took the breakfast bag, took out a sandwich and took a big bite.
"Today, do we have to keep watching?" Seeing that the child in front of him was unwilling to leave the target location for a second even when he was eating breakfast, Ningxue couldn't help but admire the child in front of her. Or rather, she admired Liufeng as a person, and she also understood how important the person living in that office was to him. Although I haven't heard her mention it, how could Ningxue, who is so smart, not know the reason?
"Well, I still have to work all day today." I took a sip of mineral water to smooth the food in my mouth.
"Do you need me to call Shuang'er back to help?" After a day and night of interrogation, Ningshuang used the authority of the police station to mobilize a lot of traffic surveillance. However, it turned out that the clues that could be found from the traffic surveillance were only as many as reported last time. After that, no matter how hard Ningshuang tried, she could not provide more clues.
"Let her go back and rest. If needed, she can come out to help tonight." I said casually. "Is Yue'er okay?"
"Youcheng is really cooperative. He doesn't look like he wants to run away. Yue'er said she has no pressure."
"That's good. Don't let him leave until this is done."
"Yes." After nodding in response, Ningxue looked at me intently. "...Mr. Mingya, I think..." She seemed to want to say something else. But Ningxue was interrupted by me when she was halfway through her words. Following my gaze, I saw a child with a skateboard walking out of the office, and that child was undoubtedly Conan. In order to investigate the whole story, Conan left early this morning.
"Axue, it's your turn." I opened the car door and got out. Then I opened the back door and got in.
"Yes." Without asking me why, Ningxue directly moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. "Where are we going?"
"Wait a minute." I sat in the middle of the back seat, looking at the office door across the street. In less than five minutes, my dad, Xiaolan, and Sonoko came down from upstairs and got into Officer Takagi's car, who had already changed shifts. Then, the car started and quickly passed by us. Through the dark car window, I clearly saw my dad glance at our car with a look of surprise in his eyes. Perhaps he rarely sees such imported supercars on this street.
"Do you want to follow?" Ningxue quickly understood her mission.
"Well, a little further away... Wait." Before I finished speaking, I saw a white Renault passing by us, and inside the car were children who looked at me excitedly. Of course, they only saw my car. "These kids..." I couldn't help but hold my forehead. Why did they show up so early in the morning? And let the doctor take them? Did they know that Xiaolan was going to the tropical park today? But why did they follow her instead of saying hello and walking together?
"Mr. Mingya, I seemed to see Miss Huihara sitting in that car?" Ningxue looked at me in surprise.
"Oh... Never mind, just follow me. Keep your distance." I rubbed my temple. "I'll take a nap."
"Yes." Without saying anything more, Ningxue quietly started the car, turned the car around, and slowly followed the Renault in front.
On the other hand, just after I lay down, I took out my cell phone and sent a message to Shiho.
【What's your situation? 】
Feeling the vibration of her phone, Shiho, who was sitting in the doctor's car, took out her phone and looked at it. After finding that the message was from me, she subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror and saw my car not far away. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she replied to my message.
[The children said they had ambushed you early in the morning, saying they wanted to secretly protect your sister.]
[These kids really just want the world to be in chaos...] On the other side of the car, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and continued to reply to Shiho.
[What about you? Why is Ningxue driving? ]
[Resting in the back seat, I was following him last night. 】
[Kudou doesn't seem to know that your sister is going out today. You didn't tell her? Where is she going? ]
[At the Tropical Park, Xiaolan seems to have remembered something. So let's go to the Tropical Park to try to recover our memories, and it will be more convenient for me to stay in the dark. Conan doesn't know about this, and it seems that Xiaolan doesn't plan to tell him. ]
[I heard about what happened to Xiaolan afterwards. It was true that your sister was kind, and she would not forget her kindness even if she lost her memory. I understand why you didn't tell Kudo.]
[Yes, my father didn't know my identity, and in order to protect Xiaolan, he kicked me out. But it made it easier for me to move.]
[Tropical Park is not a place where you can just shoot. ]
[Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll leave the open eyes to you, Shiho.]
[Well, you take a rest. I'll call you if there's anything.] After seeing Shiho's last message, a faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. With Shiho around, I can also put my mind at ease and take a good rest.
"Axue, you don't need to call me when we get there, just follow us and go find Xiao Ai. Follow her instructions for the rest. Take the stuff with you."
"Yes, Mr. Mingya." Ningxue responded lightly, and said no more. No matter if it was me or Shiho, as long as it was our order, Ningxue would obey unconditionally. This was also the direct reason why I could trust the three sisters of the Ning family. No complaints, wholehearted loyalty. As for how to bring a gun into the tropical park. If Ningxue couldn't do this, then she could turn around and go home now.
After giving instructions, I set the alarm, stretched myself, and fell asleep.
Looking at the child behind her who had closed his eyes and was defenseless, Ningxue's mouth slightly raised a relieved arc. Because she knew that trust is a mutual thing.
——————————Detective Conan The Movie 4 & The Assassin in the Pupil————————————
Ding ding ding... The ringing of the alarm clock quickly interrupted my sleep. Although my head was still a little swollen, I looked at the time and it was still noon. Ningxue was no longer in the car. I guess she had gone to find Shiho.
After stretching my aching body, I pulled the computer out of the necklace, connected the network card and started to operate it. Now, it was time to meet Taiyi.
Programs are amazing things. These worlds made up of 0s and 1s have created beautiful blueprints for human beings. However, some programmers use this to do illegal things. For example, I am now.
I intercepted the vending machine in the park and contacted Taiyi who was waiting there through text.
"I am coming."
"The source of the call was the cardiology department on the second floor of the Yakushino Hospital in Mika City, and an unknown private phone number. The disguised call audio has been restored. The female voice has obvious signs of editing. The address of the audio source file has been sent. Brother Bing, we will be able to meet soon. I will go to Japan in a few months." Without too many words, Taiyi knew that his time was precious.
"Well, see you then, take care. That's it." I also knew Taiyi's danger. Without saying too much, we ended the connection in less than 30 seconds. In fact, I didn't need to listen to the source of the sound. I could tell who the criminal was just by the three words "Psychotherapy Department".
[The criminal is confirmed to be Fudo Kyousuke, be careful.] I sent a message to Shiho, then got out of the car and walked towards the tropical park.
[What an unexpected name.] Shiho replied very quickly. [I thought it was Toshiya or Kotaki.]
【Why?】 I was also stunned by Shiho’s words.
【Because I just saw them here. 】
[What?!] My heart trembled slightly. Could they really be accomplices?
[I asked Ningxue to keep an eye on Minye and report to me at any time. Nino Tamaki is also here. So I have to keep an eye on two people at a time. I have been following your sister.] Shiho's words put me at ease. Her approach was undoubtedly correct.
[I'll be there soon, where are you? ]
【Magical Fantasy Island. 】
[Okay, how are the kids?]
[They are looking for suspicious people. The criminal won't attack them, right?]
[It's hard to say. Anyway, use the badge to get the kids back to your area. I think Xiaolan will be safe at least until night. If you shoot in broad daylight, it will be hard for him not to be exposed.]
[I remember there seemed to be a parade in the evening. It seemed... ]
[Hmm... It's a bit troublesome. But it's also the safest way. Wait for me to get there, and keep in touch.]
[Okay. Do you want to tell Kudo? ]
[I'll make the call, be careful.] After I finished texting with Shiho, I immediately called Conan.
"Xun, what's wrong?" Conan's voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.
"I found the decisive phone recording and restored it, proving that the criminal is Fudo Kyousuke. But I obtained this recording illegally. It cannot be seen by the public."
"I see. I've made some progress here as well. I can move much faster after getting your news. I'll call and tell my uncle about this later."
"No need, wait until you find out the truth before calling. My dad is taking Xiaolan to play in the tropical park now."
"What? Didn't you say that Xiaolan is not allowed to leave home?" Conan's voice suddenly became louder.
"It's okay. I'm already in the Tropical Park." I said calmly. "I'll go catch the criminal, and you go get the evidence. We're going to completely overthrow Feng Hu here tonight."
"You're here too?" Conan's mind was working rapidly. "You knew about this a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me? Do you want to kill..."
Beep, beep, beep…
The busy tone of the phone annoyed Conan. But for him, the most important thing was to find evidence quickly so that he could return to the tropical park to stop me from killing Fuhu. On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, I quickly found Shiho's location.
"Are you here?" Shiho greeted softly.
"Well, where are the children?" I also greeted Dr. Agasa who was standing beside me.
"They're just walking around nearby." Shiho put her hands behind her back and raised her delicate chin in the direction of the children. Following the direction Shiho was looking, I saw three children looking around with vigilance. In a sense, they behaved very well. It's just that the so-called weapons in their hands... It's better not to mention them.
"Where's Xiaolan?"
"We went to the haunted house." Shiho said softly. "We didn't dare to follow too closely. The kids said that protection should be done secretly. But your sister was followed by Officer Takagi the whole time, so it should be okay, right?"
"As long as Feng Hu is not crazy enough to shoot in the crowd, it will be fine." I breathed. Then I took out my phone and called Ning Xue.
"Mr. Mingya."
"Axue, I heard about what happened. How are you doing?"
"Odagiri Toshi is also here to join the band's performance, and Niino Tamaki has also been here. Judging from the current situation, neither of them has any intention of moving."
"Well, I'll leave that to you. If they make any big moves, I allow you to kill them on the spot."
"Yes." Ningxue took the order and hung up the phone.
"Hey, Xiaoxun, it doesn't have to be like this..." The doctor was a little worried after hearing what I said.
"It's okay, the main culprit has been identified. I'm just taking precautions against them." I spread my hands. "Doctor, please, when the kids come back, let them have fun. I'll take care of the rest."
"That's... okay." The doctor nodded.
"Do you need help?" Shiho asked softly. She also knew how difficult it was to find someone in this amusement park with tens of thousands of people.
"Hmm... do you want to go to the rooftop to see the view?" I pointed to an iceberg-like building not far away.
"Help you search for the criminal?" Shiho raised her head slightly and looked towards the top of the iceberg, then said calmly. "Let's go."
——————————Detective Conan The Movie 4 & The Assassin in the Pupil————————————
Arriving at the top observation deck of the Ice Mist World, there were still quite a lot of people here at this time. It was obviously impossible to occupy a telescope for a long time. However, Shiho also saw that I was not in a hurry at this time. So she didn't say much about this.
"You asked me to come here at this time not just to ask me to help you find the criminal, right?" Shiho was looking at the scenery of the entire island through a telescope. "Are you trying to get the doctor and the others to a safe place?"
"The one who knows me best is Shiho." I smiled softly. "It's better not to involve the children and the doctor in this matter. After all, the criminal has a gun this time."
"So what are your plans?" Shiho took a break and turned to look at me.
"There are three ways." I held up three fingers. "First, you keep watch here while I go up and set up a sniper rifle." I pointed directly above my head. Except for the Ferris wheel in the distance, this is the highest point in the entire amusement park.
"The exposure rate is too high. Let's change it." Shiho shook her head.
"Second, we need to find Feng Hu here as quickly as possible, and then you keep an eye on him while I go over and kill him."
"The prerequisite is that we can find it before he makes a move. And we have to do it secretly, which is not easy."
"The last one... send everyone away, let Xiaolan be exposed, and I... when Fuuto makes his move, I will find a chance to kill him."
"Is this too risky?" Shiho frowned. "Is there no better way?"
"If Conan could tell Takagi about this before Fudo took action, perhaps the matter could be resolved through the police. But once Takagi knew that Fudo was the criminal, or Takagi and Fudo directly opened fire on the spot, more civilians would die. Because once Fudo is exposed, this madman will not care how many people are at the scene. He will shoot indiscriminately. Takagi cannot bear this blame. I don't intend to let him bear it either."
"Indeed, once exposed, crazy people will always do more extreme things when facing certain death." Shiho said thoughtfully. "Let's choose the second and third options first. I'll monitor here, and you go directly to Xiaolan to protect her." After that, Shiho stretched out her hand to me. And I gently held the boneless little hand with a faint smile. I ignored Shiho's contempt, and after kneading it for a while, I placed a small earphone in the palm of the little hand.
"Hehe, please, dear." I laughed, then turned and left the ice castle.
"This guy has never behaved properly." Shiho looked at the earphones in her hand and smiled helplessly. Then she focused on the binoculars again.
Time passed quickly, an afternoon passed in a flash and night fell quickly. The lights in the tropical park were turned on on time at six o'clock in the evening. The moment the sun sank below the sea level, the whole park exuded an atmosphere completely different from that during the day.
"As night falls, it becomes more difficult to find the person." On the observation deck, Shiho, who had been searching for a whole day, still had no results. Her face turned pale from her concentration.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shiho. Keep trying." I secretly followed Xiaolan in the crowd for a whole afternoon, but to no avail. I also kept an eye on the several high points within my field of vision. But I didn't see anyone looking at me from those places. Maybe Fuhuo has disguised himself. Or maybe he has been waiting for the night to fall. In short, if he doesn't come out for one minute, I have to be on edge for one minute. "Axue has been keeping an eye on Minye and Xiaohuan. They are indeed having a concert and will not make any moves in the short term. And Fuhuo has been patient for a day."
"The parade is about to start," Shiho said softly. "Do you want to keep watching?"
"Well, look for Xiaolan in the area around her. I'm in the building behind her." Hiding in a small wooden house not far from Xiaolan, I secretly stared at where Xiaolan was. Dad and Gao Mu were protecting her nearby, but looking at their expressions, after a day of vigilance, their spirits had been exhausted to a considerable extent. However, both of them were policemen after all, and although they were tired, they were still able to persevere.
【So Thank You For Everything, I am moving now. It's a good time, and it's a good time to forget it. 】
A pleasant ringtone sounded. I picked up the phone and saw that it was Conan. I guess he had found out.
"Conan, how is it? Did you find out?"
"Ah. It's clear from the investigation that Fudo Kyousuke is a..."
"Don't explain to me, go call my dad." I hung up the phone immediately. I didn't have time to listen to Conando's nonsense at this time.
After I hung up the phone, my dad took out his phone and put it to his ear. After a while, his expression became nervous, and then he told Takagi about the incident, and Takagi's expression also became shocked in an instant. Xiaolan and Sonoko also expressed their surprise with the same expression.
"Looking at your sister's expression, I think Kudo has found out about it, right?" Shiho's gentle voice came through the headset.
"Ah. After Takagi calls the police station, Xiaolan's safety will be guaranteed." I breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Xiaolan and the others.
"That's true. I don't think he would dare to do that in a crowd...Kaoru! Xiaolan's three o'clock position! Gun!" Before she finished her words, Shiho's voice instantly rose several times.
"Xiaolan, get down!!!!" Hearing Shiho's words, my nerves were immediately raised to the highest state of alert. I hurriedly shouted. The people not far away also subconsciously looked at me after hearing what I said. Fortunately, my father's reaction was faster. He pressed Xiaolan into his arms. I didn't hear the gunshot, but I saw a red line flashing with fire passing behind my father. If it was a little slower, the bullet might have shot into my father's shoulder.
The next moment, Gao Mu took out a pistol from his bosom and pointed it at the place where the bullet had just been fired. But the place was empty. There was no trace of anyone. Gao Mu did not dare to shoot casually at this time, as it would be bad if it caused a stampede.
"Shiho, where is the person?" I dodged and chased after Fuhu from the other side.
"He hid in the crowd." Shiho's voice was slightly cold. "I can't find him anymore."
"Well, you take care of Xiaolan, I'll go find him myself." As I spoke, I had already entered the crowd and started my own search. But how could I find him in such a huge crowd without alerting everyone?
"Xiao Ran, the parade has begun and the crowd has begun to gather. If it doesn't work, just retreat. Xiao Ran has now been taken away from the crowd by Takagi and Uncle."
"What?!" I was slightly stunned after hearing what Shiho said. "Pay attention to the people leaving, and see if there are people walking in the opposite direction of all the people watching the parade." At the same time, I also rushed out of the crowd and ran in the direction of Xiaolan and the others.
"Let me look... I found it, it's at the seven o'clock direction where Xiaolan is now. I squeezed out and it's Fenghu!" Come out of the crowd on your right hand side!
Whoosh, I rushed out of the crowd and immediately threw a dagger to the right. The target of the dagger was Feng Hu who was not far away. Clang! The dagger hit the pistol, but it failed to stop the bullet from the pistol from firing. The bullet originally aimed at Xiaolan's back, due to the deviation of the trajectory, finally shot into the shoulder of Gao Mu who was protecting on the side. Seeing that his attack was destroyed again, Feng Hu looked at me with a ferocious expression, and then looked at his father who had turned around and ran towards him, snorted angrily, and then ran to the right. And I chased in his direction.
"Little brat, why are you here!" Outside the crowd, I met my dad.
"I received a call from Xiao Ai and learned that they also came here to play today, so I came here. Unexpectedly, I saw the scene where Doctor Fenghu was about to shoot Sister Xiaolan with a gun." I made up a lie and hid it from my dad.
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest, you go to Officer Takagi." As he said that, Dad pointed to Takagi who was already injured not far away.
"But he has a gun."
"Enough! Boy, I don't have time to listen to you now. Hurry up and go!" Dad yelled. "...Xiaolan's safety is in your hands, Xiaoxun." Maybe it was to comfort him, or maybe it was subconscious. Dad's voice slowed down a lot, and then he ran out again.
"...What a worrying father!" I couldn't help but sigh as I watched my father leave, and then ran towards where Xiaolan and Takagi were.
——————————Detective Conan The Movie 4 & The Assassin in the Pupil————————————
"When I arrived beside Xiaolan, Gao Mu was already kneeling on the ground in pain, with bright red blood slowly flowing down his shoulder."
"Sister Xiaolan, Officer Takagi. Are you okay?"
"Xiaoxun? Why are you here?" Xiaolan was very surprised to see me. After all, it was my shout that saved her life just now.
"I am also a member of the Junior Detective Team, so I have the obligation to protect you." I smiled at Xiaolan and lied casually. After that, I focused my attention on Gao Mu.
"Officer Takagi, how are you feeling?"
"No, it's okay." Gao Mu said, pulling out the pistol from his arms. "I'll hold the criminal back, Xiaoxun, you take Miss Xiaolan away."
"...Be careful." Nodding to Takagi, I took Xiaolan's hand and ran towards the distance of the parade.
"Xiao, Xiaoxun, where are we going?"
"Let's go to a place where there's no one." I said while looking around. At the same time, I put my hands on my ears. "Xiao Ai, can you see clearly?"
"Yes, it's very clear." Shiho replied softly at the top of the observation tower. "Futo has left his uncle behind and is coming towards you."
"Find me a deserted place and call that guy at the same time." Xiaolan, who was being pulled by me to run, didn't know what I was doing, but she seemed to see many mysterious things in the child in front of her.
"Okay, start from your current position, go up Moon Mountain at ten o'clock, and then you will reach the Fantasy Fairytale Island. There are basically no people there. But... I can't see it."
"It's okay, leave it to us later."
"Be careful."
I took off my headphones and quickened my pace.
"Hey, Xiaoxun, who are you talking to? Where are we going?"
"Secret." I smiled at Xiaolan. "I'll take you to a place where you can get back to us. Speed up!" Without answering Xiaolan's question directly, I pulled Xiaolan and ran quickly. We left the crowd. The faint murderous intent from behind was enough to enter my perception. However, in front of Xiaolan, I really couldn't take out my weapon. What I could do now was to take Xiaolan to a deserted place first, and then...
Bang~bang~
The bullets from the silenced pistol flew past us one by one. Because I was carrying Xiaolan, I couldn't fight back. All I could do now was to pull Xiaolan to dodge the flying bullets.
"Tsk... How many magazines did this bastard bring?" Hiding behind a rock, I counted the number of bullets fired, and my brows furrowed. From the beginning of shooting to now, at least two magazines have been fired.
"...Why?"
"Huh?" Xiaolan's sudden words while I was hiding made me slightly stunned.
"Why, why did you and Conan risk your life to save me?" Xiaolan's eyes were red. "Conan too, and you too... Why is it?"
"Need I say more?" I gave Xiaolan a gentle look. Then I continued to pull her forward. "Because you are my only one. Even if I lose my life, I will let you live. Because... you are my little princess."
Buzz. . .
"Little...Princess." Instantly, countless fragments of memory flooded into Xiaolan's brain. "Little...Xun...Brother Xun...You are Brother Xun..."
"Kaoru!"
I didn't hear what Xiaolan said because a shout in the distance attracted my attention. On one side of the two small houses, Conan was already riding a skateboard towards us.
"Finally here." Seeing Conan coming, my brows relaxed, and a dangerous smile faintly appeared on my face. "Conan, please!" I pointed to Conan's position. "Run over there!" After saying that, I stopped suddenly, turned over and rushed towards Fuhu's position.
"But, Kaoru..."
"Sister Xiaolan, this way." Without giving Xiaolan a chance to look back, Conan grabbed Xiaolan's wrist and continued running in the direction he had just run.
"But... Xiaoxun..." Xiaolan's face was still full of worry.
"It's okay, you can leave this to him!" Conan gave Xiaolan a reassuring look.
"Why? Where are we going? Xiaoxun is in danger!"
"It's okay, just leave it to him. As for us, I'm going to take you to a place where you can come back to us."
"Is this... the same thing as what Xiaoxun said?"
"Hmm? Really?" Conan smiled faintly. "I can understand."
"Then... why?"
"Because... I like you more than anyone else on earth!"
——————————Detective Conan The Movie 4 & The Assassin in the Pupil————————————
I was destined not to hear the conversation between Conan and Xiaolan, because after I turned around, all my attention was focused on Fuhu who was not far away. Seeing me turn around, Fuhu hurriedly hid himself behind a building.
"Have you been chasing us for so long? Isn't it time for you to show up? Fudo Kyousuke!"
Hearing this, the person behind the building shuddered noticeably. After a brief silence, he walked out step by step.
"It's amazing that you guessed it was me." Finally, the last criminal, Fenghu Kyosuke, showed up. In order to hunt Xiaolan at night, he even brought a one-eyed night vision goggles. Compared with his usual gentleness, his face was full of madness at this moment.
"I couldn't have guessed it at first, but a lot of evidence points to you. Including the recording of your phone call to You Chengzhen, which I also restored." I smiled calmly. "Now that the police know that the criminal is you, what are you going to do next?"
"What should I do? Hahaha." Feng Hu laughed crazily. "What else can I do? The only thing I can do now is to fight back before I die, right? As I remember, you are the blonde kid from Detective Maori's house?"
"Are these your last words?" I sneered. "Or do you want to just kill me and get away before the police get here?"
"Humph, what an arrogant brat." As he spoke, Feng Hu pulled the safety of his pistol. "At least before I get arrested, I want to drag you and Xiaolan into the fight with me. If it weren't for you, maybe I could still live my life at large."
"Heh... one hand kills people, the other hand saves people. Your psychology is really perverted. How did you become a doctor in the Department of Psychiatry?"
"Are you stalling for time?" Feng Hu said calmly. "Unfortunately, I don't have much time to accompany you." After that, Feng Hu pointed the gun in his hand at me. "After I deal with you, I will also deal with Xiaolan and Conan. Maybe I won't let Mr. Maori go either. Hahahahahaha."
"Tsk tsk... Why did I promise Conan not to kill you?" I shook my head. My slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the lavender eyes that were once as soft as lavender burst out with a biting coldness at this moment. I flipped the dagger in my hand and rushed towards Fenghu.
bang~ bang~ bang~
The bullet was so weak that it could hardly even touch the corner of my clothes. In just over three seconds, I had closed the distance of more than ten meters under my feet, without paying attention to Feng Hu's eyes that were almost popping out of their sockets with surprise. I slashed the dagger in my hand upwards, and a scarlet blood line appeared on Feng Hu's right wrist, which was holding the pistol tightly. The severe pain also made him subconsciously drop the gun in his hand.
"Tell me, why did you provoke Sato for no reason?" I said coldly. I turned the dagger in my hand again, and a blood snake appeared on the wrist of Fenghu's other arm. "If you don't kill Sato, you won't provoke Xiaolan. You won't have the intention to kill her. You can actually kill such a kind girl. You still say you are a doctor? A doctor in the Department of Psychiatry?! Do you deserve the title of doctor?" I lowered my body's center of gravity, and the sharp blade of the dagger stabbed Fenghu's thigh fiercely. Scarlet blood spurted out instantly. Fenghu's screams followed.
"First, he shot Officer Sato, causing Xiaolan to lose her memory!"
puff!
"Another attempt to create an accident at the subway station so that the train would run over Xiaolan!"
puff!
"Now you are going to shoot Xiaolan and her friends here again! Tell me, do you deserve to die? Ah? Do you deserve to die?"
puff!puff!puff!
The sound of the blade piercing the flesh was endless. The purple blade of the SAS dagger cut back and forth on Feng Hu's body. Feng Hu's screams began to tear him apart.
"Hu...Hu..." After about two minutes, I stopped what I was doing. Feng Hu's body was already covered with wounds and blood was all over the floor, soaking my clothes. "You said, you don't do your job as a doctor, but you have to kill innocent people. Do you have a clear conscience?"
"Heh... Heh." As if he had sensed the approach of death, Feng Hu smiled the moment I stopped. "I... don't think there's any difference between us."
"...Yes." Feng Hu's sarcasm before his death shocked me slightly. "We are the same kind of people. For ourselves and the people around us, we can do anything, even taking other people's lives."
"Oh... I was... wrong." Fenghu's voice was filled with despair. "I didn't expect that I would end up falling for the kid next to Xiaolan."
"Regret it?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Haha, if Miss Xiaolan hadn't walked into the bathroom at that time, maybe I would have had a chance to escape."
"Or if you apologize to Xiaolan, I might consider sparing your life." A meaningless smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
"Heh...Heh...I..."
Whoosh... Puff! Purple lightning flashed again. A handful of scarlet blood immediately burst out from Feng Hu's throat.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to listen." The cold expression and cold words became Feng Hu's last gift before his death.

"Axue, where are you?" After dealing with Feng Hu, I called Ning Xue. I couldn't show myself to anyone in the bloody state I was covered in. I certainly couldn't let my family see me.
"They're still at the concert. Toshiya and Niino Tamaki are not taking any other actions at the moment." Ningxue reported truthfully.
"It's okay, come back. I'll wait for you at the door."
"Eh? Yes..." Although she didn't understand why things ended so suddenly, Ningxue still obeyed my order.
Tens of minutes later, Ningxue returned to the car. When she saw me covered in blood, she was shocked. She hurried over to see my injuries. After a careful inspection, she found that the blood was not mine. Then she understood why I asked her to come back.
"Mr. Mingya, shall we go home?"
"Yeah." I nodded gently. I responded to Ningxue's words. Then I took out my phone and sent a message to Shiho. Tell her that I have finished my work and will go back first. Then I leaned on the car seat, closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep. However, before I got home, I was called by a phone call. It was Conan who called.
"..What's wrong?" I picked up the phone.
"Why?" Conan's voice was very cold.
"...this one?"
"What did you promise me? Didn't you say you wouldn't..."
"He saw my face."
"...I cannot accept this reason."
“…I couldn’t help it.”
"you!"
"Nothing, I'm hanging up. I'm very tired now."
"You...are you hurt?"
"No. See you at school tomorrow."
"Hey...wait a minute!"
".. Is there anything else?" I don't know why, after killing Feng Hu, my mood became surprisingly bad. Was it really because of his words that I was affected? Or was it because of his murderous intention towards Xiao Lan that made me angry?
"There are two good news... Officer Sato is awake. And... Ran's memory has been restored."
"...Heh." After hearing these two pieces of news, a hint of warmth appeared on my expressionless face. "Got it."
"Kaoru..." Conan hesitated to speak.
"what?"
"No... nothing." After thinking for a while, Conan finally gave up. "Let me help you explain this to you, Xiaolan. Have a good rest and see you at school tomorrow."
"Yeah. Hang up."
After hanging up the phone, I let out a long breath, and then stared blankly at the bright moon in the distance.
"Mr. Mingya..." Ningxue saw my confused look and couldn't help but speak to comfort me.
"Axue, I remember you seemed to have something to tell me this morning?" I turned my head to look at that pretty face. "What's wrong?"
"I..." Ningxue was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes regained clarity. While driving the car, she smiled at me. "Mr. Mingya, if you have time, take Miss Huiyuan and Miss Shirakawa with you and go on vacation abroad together."
"Vacation?" My gaze softened. "Yeah...we...need to take a break."
