"Slap! Slap!"
A crisp tapping sound rang out.
"Come out. I don't know what you kids want to do, but please get out of the trunk first," Yuzuru said softly as he walked to the back of the car.
The group had just arrived at Yoko Okino's apartment building when they saw Nanami Hanyu walk to the back of the car and gently tap the trunk twice.
"What! Could it be that the stalker is hiding in Ms. Yoko's trunk?"
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards Nanami Hanyu in one stride.
Ran and Yoko were startled and quickly hid behind Nanami Hanyu, cautiously peeking into the trunk.
Yuzuru waved his hand, indicating that the two should not panic, then shook his head and said, "No." After saying that, he reached out and opened the trunk.
Immediately afterwards, what came into view were Conan and the trio of daredevils, their faces beaming with ingratiating smiles.
"Hehe, big brother, we're playing hide-and-seek!" Conan blinked his bright eyes and put on a cute expression.
Upon seeing this, Yuzuru Nan quickly took out his phone without saying a word and snapped a picture of the scene before him.
Then, he reached out and gently lifted Ayumi out of the trunk.
The Black Organization only wants Conan dead, but Yuzuru Hanyu is different; he wants Conan's company dead. Such a good record should be preserved.
"How did you kids get here? Didn't your parents teach you not to get on other people's cars?"
After realizing they weren't stalkers, Kogoro Mouri stormed over and punched each of the three children in the trunk hard on the head.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Three screams rang out simultaneously.
"Huh? Aren't these Conan and the three kids we met at the amusement park the other day?"
At this moment, Xiaolan also noticed the four children in front of her and realized that she knew them all.
"Xiao Lan, do you know these little devils?"
Kogoro Mouri shook his hand; it still hurt a little from hitting the child earlier.
"Yes, Dad, this little boy with glasses is Shinichi's relative. He's staying with Professor Agasa right now," Ran replied.
"No wonder. I was wondering why this kid was so annoying. Turns out he's related to that detective brat." Kogoro Mouri muttered, clearly not having a good impression of Conan.
Yuzuru Hanyu didn't pay attention to the conversation between Kogoro Mouri and his daughter:
"We meet again, little Ayumi. Do you know how dangerous this is? If the car is locked without the owner's knowledge, you will be trapped inside and die from lack of oxygen."
Yuzuru raised his voice a few decibels as he spoke the next few sentences, turning to Conan and the other two sternly.
"I'm sorry, we know we were wrong."
Genta and Mitsuhiko apologized quickly.
Conan looked at Yuzuru, who was staring at him with a serious expression, and reluctantly apologized.
"I'm sorry, big brother, we really didn't know it would be so dangerous." Ayumi, who was being held in Yuzuru's arms, mustered up her courage and timidly apologized to him.
Yuzuru nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted Ayumi's apology, and then carefully placed her on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Conan muttered to himself, "Why is this guy treating people differently?" Looking at Yuzuru Nan's gentle attitude towards Ayumi, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Alright, you guys stick close to us for now. We'll take you home when we're done."
Yuzuru took Keimi's small hand and handed her to Ran, asking her to take care of her.
Kogoro Mouri turned around and yelled at the other three children, "You little brats, listen up! When we get upstairs, you'd better stay put and no one is allowed to run around!"
After settling the children in, Kogoro Mouri straightened his clothes and quickly walked over to Yoko Okino, saying, "Don't worry, it's all fine now. They were just a few mischievous kids. Let's go investigate the situation first!"
Yoko Okino didn't pay much attention to the children; she just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible. She nodded slightly and led everyone upstairs.
The group took the elevator and went straight to the 25th floor.
Wow, it's so beautiful!
"That's right!"
Ran held Ayumi in her arms, and the two stood together by the window on the 25th floor, looking down at the bustling city illuminated by lights at night, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta, standing to the side, didn't receive such good treatment. They could only watch enviously as Ayumi was held in Ran's arms.
As soon as Yuzuru arrived on the 25th floor, he felt a chilly wind rushing towards him.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice rang in his mind: "Spiritual energy detected, absorb?"
"Just as I thought!" Yuzuru sighed inwardly. "No wonder he's called the 'Death God Elementary School Student'."
Turning his head, he looked at Conan, who was gently rubbing the bump on his head, and thought: "If Conan is around, there's a good chance someone will die."
Noticing Yuzuru's gaze, Conan looked up with a puzzled smile on his face.
Seeing this, Yuzuru simply nodded slightly, then looked away, silently giving Conan a thumbs up in his heart: Keep it up, we're counting on you to meet the targets!
"Everyone, we've arrived."
Yoko Okino took out a bunch of keys, walked to an apartment door, and prepared to open it.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
A sharp, piercing scream echoed throughout the corridor. As soon as the door was pushed open a crack, Yoko Okino trembled as if she had been electrocuted, screaming in terror as her body lost its support and collapsed limply to the ground.
Upon hearing the commotion, Kogoro Mouri and his manager immediately rushed over.
Yuzuru stopped Ran, who was about to go forward to check the situation, saying, "Ran, it sounds like something has happened. You stay here and look after the children." After saying that, he rushed to the scene of the incident.
Yuzuru walked over to Yoko Okino in a few steps and helped her up.
When the group pushed open the apartment door, they saw an obese man lying face down in a pool of blood, with a sharp dagger sticking out of his back. The blood stained the surrounding ground, a horrifying sight.
"Xiao Lan, someone has died! Go call the police immediately!"
Kogoro Mouri acted decisively, urging Ran to call the police as soon as possible and to take swift measures to protect the scene to prevent the destruction of crucial evidence.
"Someone's dead... Could it have been those men in black? Damn it!"
Conan, standing outside the door, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing the news coming from inside. Taking advantage of Ran's moment to dial the police, he secretly slipped into the room.
