This time, Hoshino Aoi really experienced the feeling of watching anime live.

After all, during the incident with Kenji Hagiwara, she was caught off guard by the Black Organization, and after she had finally gotten rid of the person who was monitoring her, her first reaction was that after getting rid of the bomber, she had to rush to the archives to make sure that Vermouth had not seen the file information of Morofushi Kagemitsu.

So forget about watching the plot, her mind was full of nothing but how to resolve the matter quickly and rush to the next scene.

What followed was the exposure of Zhufu Jingguang.

Because everything happened slowly step by step under her guidance, it can be said that everything was within her expectations. She even thought about everyone's reactions over and over again in her mind, so Hoshino Aoi didn't feel anything too much.

This time, Aoi Hoshino didn't interfere at all, so the events unfolded much like in the anime, including the killer's words, "Thank you, sweet angel, you helped me to do it."

“Tsk…”

Seeing that Ran Mouri was depressed just like in the comics because of the murderer's words, Aoi Hoshino couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"You really should thank her, otherwise others will never know what kind of heart you have under your angelic face."

The murderer was stunned for a moment, but before she could say anything, she was pushed away by the police.

Hoshino Aoi didn't say anything else.

Even though she could see that Mao Lilan was sad, blaming herself, and even questioning whether her act of saving people was correct, she did not take the initiative to comfort her.

After all, she knew that she could get out of this by her own strength, and even if things got worse, she still had Kudo Shinichi by her side, who had the same values ​​as her and would definitely save the criminals as long as he could.

There is absolutely no need for comfort from someone like her who will do anything to achieve her goal, no matter how many people are sacrificed.

And Aoi Hoshino had no way to comfort her.

After all, although she could understand Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran's argument that life is paramount, it was only limited to understanding, and she would never be able to do it.

So forget it...

However, despite saying this, Hoshino Aoi still gave Mouri Ran a kind smile when she left.

It seemed to be telling her, "Don't pay attention to what the murderer said. After all, she didn't have the idea of ​​killing because of you. Even if you weren't there, she would still do it. This is her problem, not yours. So don't question your act of saving people because of her words. You saved her, and she planned to kill people are two different things. Don't confuse them."

For some reason, the two of them had never spoken a single word to each other. Even until now, Mao Lilan had only heard her name from the police officer. Apart from that, she knew nothing.

But I strangely interpreted this meaning from her smile.

This made Mao Lilan stunned.

By the time she came to her senses, the girl called 'Solana' had already left the scene.

For a moment, Mao Lilan even felt a little disappointed.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at her cautiously.

She said blankly:

"No... nothing..."

However, no matter how nicely he spoke, he could not hide the sadness on his face.

Kudo Shinichi knew at a glance that she was taking the victim's death upon herself.

After all, just like what the murderer said, if she hadn't saved the murderer, she wouldn't have had the chance to kill.

But you can’t think about this like that…

Kudo Shinichi frowned and said:

"Don't worry, Xiaolan. There was nothing wrong with you saving her. None of us thought she would kill someone, so it's impossible for us to give up someone's life because of something we didn't expect. Besides, the situation was so urgent, and you saved her purely out of instinct, so how can this be blamed on you?"

After all, when killing someone, there are often reasons of one kind or another, but when saving someone, there is no reason at all, it is just an instinctive desire to save a life.

So the other party attributed her behavior to Xiaolan saving her, and felt that she did not die in an accident, and that it was God's will given to her to kill people. This is a complete fallacy.

Shouldn't a normal person realize the preciousness of life through this incident and stop doing it?

But she ended up feeling that God was encouraging her to commit a crime.

Kudo Shinichi didn't take her words seriously at all, let alone doubt himself because of her words.

After all, how can a normal person understand what a murderer is thinking?

But Mao Lilan obviously didn't think so.

No, maybe she also thought so, but this incident happened to her after all, so she unconsciously put the death of the deceased on her shoulders, and even questioned her own behavior.

However, all the confusion ended when they accidentally encountered the silver-haired killer.

With Kudo Shinichi's words, "I never know the reason for killing, but there is no need for a reason to save people", Mouri Ran's originally confused heart suddenly became clear, and after relaxing, fatigue and dizziness followed.

She fainted, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already lying in the hospital. Naturally, she had no idea what happened next.

But since she is in the hospital, it means that the silver-haired killer did not do as he said and kill them after he was safe.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan did not ask about the follow-up of the incident, but regained her former vitality.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi and Kudo Yukiko naturally would not take the initiative to mention what happened that day.

And Sharon's phone call afterwards put an end to the matter.

However, what the three of them didn't know was that as soon as Sharon Wynyard hung up the phone, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

In the dim light, she turned her head and looked at the person sitting next to her on the sofa.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Vermouth said this, and with a little force from her slender white fingers, she pushed the gun against her temple aside.

“Can I have the photo, please?

She asked softly, and from her tone alone, it was impossible to tell what her mood was at the moment.
