Deception 13
So, why?
Ishii Kazuki has been fully prepared for this world where the protagonist is a detective. No matter how much preparation he has made in advance, no matter whether the criminal is dead or alive, in the end there will always be some big scenes to give the protagonist his highlight moment.
He and Kaito Kid watched a famous detective pretending to be good and led everyone to find the basement. On the way, they joined the Young Detective League. In the end, they successfully cracked the mechanism of the Egg of Memories and viewed the family album of the last Tsar. Of course, he did not forget to keep a close eye on the person he suspected the most.
And the moment when everyone's attention was attracted by the artistic value of the Egg of Memory was exactly when the hidden criminal took action.
"Calm down, Ms. Pu Siqinglan," Ishii Kazuki raised his hand to show that he was harmless, holding a grenade in his right hand, and his eyes never left the woman who held Yoshida Ayumi hostage, "My colleagues are already outside, you put down the hostage now..."
...Why on earth was she able to grab Ayumi Yoshida in the dark? Ishii Kazuki was speechless. He clearly remembered that the position of the Junior Detectives was the farthest from the criminal, and it was next to Maori Kogoro. Why on earth would that little girl run there at that time...
"Shut up," Pu Siqinglan's expression was no longer gentle, but ferocious and crazy. She placed a sharp dagger across Yoshida Ayumi's neck, and with her other hand she tightly protected the egg of memories she had just snatched. "This egg of memories is a treasure belonging to the Romanov dynasty. It should belong to my family, to my ancestor Las□□——"
"Please calm down. I understand how you feel." Ishii Kazuki gave "Officer Shiratori" a look and took a tentative step forward. While everyone was looking at the photo album, he quietly took action a few times and confiscated some of the wooden warehouses, grenades and smoke bombs. However, mercenaries always keep a cold weapon on them. "You are dissatisfied with your treasure being coveted by thieves, and your ancestors being slandered as evil monks... You are indeed proud of your family..."
"Don't come over!" Pu Siqinglan scolded harshly, and the knife across the hostage's neck moved a little deeper, leaving a thin line of blood. Yoshida Ayumi looked like she wanted to cry but didn't, and could only let the prisoner lead her back. "If you come over now, this child will die!"
"Ayumi--" Amid the exclamations of the Junior Detective League, the adults present gritted their teeth. Kogoro Maori vigilantly protected his daughter and her friends behind him. The strongest ambassador of the Bear Country protected Kosaka Natsumi and her old housekeeper. Edogawa Conan was at the feet of Maori Rand with bloodshot eyes, his mind racing. Damn it! Why didn’t I notice Ayumi running there at that time... Is there any way to stop the criminal? football? No, not in a small space. Anesthesia needle? No, the criminal is using Ayumi as a shield, and there is no 100% certainty. If he fails, it will only anger him...
Brother Ikki...Edogawa Conan couldn't help but cast his eyes on the police officer he trusted, but unexpectedly discovered that Ishii Ikki's right hand behind his back seemed to be making some gesture. Before he could react, he heard a sound of metal collision.
Ishii Kazuki loosened the hand that was holding the grenade.
"Hey - what are you doing - uh -"
In this highly tense atmosphere, any unexpected sound would bring about incredible effects, especially for mercenaries like Scoobing, who were particularly sensitive to the sound of such weapons.
And at the moment when her attention was distracted, Officer Shiratori, who was hiding behind Kazuki Ishii, shone a flashlight across her eyes.
Yoshida Ayumi only felt her body shake, and she moved away from the blade that threatened her life, falling from one arms to another. Pu Siqinglan dodged a heavy punch from Ishii Kazuki while staggering, and retreated while waving the blade.
"Mori-senpai!" Ishii Kazuki pushed Yoshida Ayumi in his arms to the Junior Detective League, "I'll leave this to you, Shiratori, follow me quickly--"
After that, he took the lead and chased in the direction where Pu Siqinglan fled, "Conan--" Edogawa Conan followed closely behind. Mao Lilan wanted to follow but was troubled by the darkness. Huihara Ai nervously checked Yoshida Ayumi, "Are you okay? Ayumi...blood, so much blood! Besides your neck, are you injured anywhere else?!"
"...No," Ayumi Yoshida was still a little dazed, she shook her head, her clothes were covered with ominous red stains, "I'm fine, Officer Ishii was holding me the whole time..."
"That is to say," Huiyuan Ai's face changed, "the one who was injured is..."
The brown-haired girl shone the flashlight on the floor and saw a line of bright red blood in the direction they left.
