Chapter 709 The Guy Who Barged In with a Gun

The blast wave propelled the car toward the roof of the building opposite.

But at that moment, Kawasaki Machi felt suffocated and had no strength to hold onto the car.

The car, which was rushing forward, was thrown backward by inertia.

"True knowledge!!"

Ai Haibara's pupils contracted, and she quickly reached out to grab him, but not only did she fail to catch him, she almost fell over herself.

Mitsuhiko and Genta quickly reached out to steady her.

"True knowledge!!!"

Ai Haibara stared wide-eyed as she watched Machi Kawasaki fall back into the building.

The car landed in the pool of water in the building across the street, which acted as a buffer, and all five of them were unharmed.

but……

Ai Haibara looked up at the building across the street engulfed in flames, a lump forming in her throat that made it hard to breathe, and her clenched fists trembled slightly.

It's because of her again...

It was because of her that people around her kept getting into trouble.

Ai Haibara stood behind Conan, head down, hands covering her face, some clear liquid, whether water or tears, slipped through her fingers.

The others were relieved that they were all safe, but they immediately noticed that one person was missing.

"Where is the truth!?" Dr. Agasa suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

“He…” Mitsuhiko instinctively wanted to answer, but he didn’t know how to respond, so he could only lower his head and silently wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

The adults seemed to realize something as well, and fell silent.

It was quiet here for a moment.

Inside the banquet hall on the 75th floor of Building A.

A fluffy white ball was curled up in the corner. Although the area was not affected by the flames, the explosion had scorched it black.

After a long while, the mass moved and then stretched out.

It was a white wing!

With a flap of its wings, it extinguished the nearby flames.

Curled up on the ground, Zhenzhi coughed incessantly from the thick smoke. He covered his mouth and nose and staggered to his feet.

However, after standing up, he is always unsteady and needs to hold onto the wall next to him.

Upon closer inspection, something seemed off about the large, white wings on his back.

His left wing was almost completely severed!

Kawasaki Machi lowered his eyes, his light purple pupils still tinged with a hint of blood.

A figure suddenly appeared behind him.

It is Kawakami Seimaru.

...

Conan immediately called Kawasaki Maru to tell her about Machi's situation, but Maru seemed to know what he wanted to say and spoke before he could.

Kawasaki Maru: "He's fine. Because Death's people have been very quiet lately, I had someone follow them around Machi. This just happened."

As he spoke, he glanced at Kawasaki Machi, who was fast asleep on the bed.

Conan was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the absent-minded Ai Haibara, walked over and whispered the story to her.

Ai Haibara paused, then suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed on him with a hint of malice. "What you said, is it true?"

Conan nodded in affirmation and handed her the phone. "It's true."

Kawasaki Maru also heard their conversation. After Ai Haibara took the phone, he said something and then hung up.

"Zhenzhi is fine now. You two can come to see him in a couple of days."

He specifically instructed "the two of you".

Ai Haibara was slightly taken aback, ignoring the busy tone that followed the end of the call.

Thinking about how strange Kawasaki Machi was at the time, she vaguely guessed something.

Seeing that Ai Haibara was no longer trapped in her frantic self-blame, Conan breathed a silent sigh of relief. As for the others, he would have to think of a reason before telling them.

After a moment's thought, he walked over to the grieving group and told them that Zhenzhi was alright, but that they would have to wait a while before he could visit them.

After all, Conan had guessed that Makoto might turn back into a human during this period.

He couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, he was a little bit envious.

At Dr. Agasa's home.

Behringer and Conan were staring at each other.

"Really? That's so exciting!" He looked like he really wanted to try it out.

Conan: "..." Things that endanger lives aren't exciting, they're crises!

"But I hope he's alright?"

Thinking of the pink-haired girl who was forced to lie in bed even though she was perfectly fine, Behringer felt pity for her.

Poor thing.

Amen, may you not be bored right now.

"Sichuan Saint said he's fine, we can go see him later."

Just as Conan finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Professor Agasa, who was standing nearby, got up to open the door.

The door had barely opened a crack when a dark gun was pointed at his forehead, and a deliberately lowered, hoarse voice rang in his ear, "Don't move."

Hearing the noise coming from the entrance, Conan and the others immediately became alert. Seeing Professor Agasa being pointed at with a gun, they raised their hands and retreated step by step back into the living room.

At the same time, they also saw the guy who had broken in.

He was almost entirely covered in clothing, and his head was covered with a mask, sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a hoodie.

Behrfinger narrowed his eyes and sized up the man.

Conan is also ready to use his power-enhancing sneakers to take down his opponent.

Without saying a word, the young man slightly moved his hand on the trigger, and a bang rang out.

Conan, Ai Haibara, and Professor Agasa, who were initially on guard, were instantly dumbfounded.

A ribbon fell on Professor Agasa's head, making him look even more comical.

The young man burst out laughing instantly, "Hahahaha...Surprise!"

Recognizing his voice, Conan stammered, "S-Shinchi!?"

Kawasaki Machi put away the toy gun in his hand, smiled and took off his sunglasses and mask, "Hi~ Good evening."

"How did you get here?" Conan asked blankly, seemingly a little unresponsive.

Upon hearing this, Kawasaki Machi clicked his tongue, took off his hoodie and baseball cap, smoothed his long, straight pink hair which had grown longer, and then replied somewhat resentfully, "Because that guy, Maru, said that I should live with him as Okiya's younger brother, but when I went to look for him just now, I found that he didn't seem to be home, so I came here first."

Speaking of Subaru Okiya, Conan realized, "Oh right, he mentioned before that he had some academic matters to attend to and would be away for a while."

“I see.” Kawasaki Machi put his arm around Behefinger’s shoulder, nodded knowingly, and then turned to look at Behefinger. “Oh, dear Behefinger, I didn’t expect to see you here too.”

Behrfinger rolled his eyes, speechless.

After learning that the guy who barged in with a gun was Kawasaki Machi, Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced at him a few times and, seeing that he didn't seem to be injured, they felt reassured.
