In fact, not only them, but even Guangyou couldn't help but take another look at Xiaolan.
"His movements were powerful, clean, and precise, each action executed perfectly, almost instinctively." Kōyū nodded to himself and whispered, "Conan is in for a rough time."
“I agree.” Ai nodded in agreement, then turned to Kousuke and asked, “Kousuke, I suddenly want to learn karate.”
“If you want to go, I have no objection,” Guangyou replied without hesitation. “But there’s absolutely no need, because I can teach you.”
"Aren't you afraid?" Ai stared at Kousuke with her beautiful eyes and continued to ask, "What if I use you as a punching bag in the future?"
"Then be my punching bag. If hitting me makes you smile again, I don't think it's a bad deal." Guangyou smiled. "It's not a bad thing for you to learn martial arts. Not only can you maintain the figure that you girls value most, but you can also improve your self-defense ability."
Upon hearing this, Ai suddenly shook her head: "I'd rather not learn..."
Guangyou asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much, I just feel there's no need to learn it." Ai smiled. "As for self-defense skills, I think you can make up for my lack of self-defense ability, right?"
Kōyū paused for a moment, then smiled and shrugged: "That's true."
The two then exchanged a knowing smile.
“Mr. Kondo, you not only committed murder, but you also tried to escape.”
The officer took out handcuffs from his pocket and cuffed Kondo, saying sympathetically, "Why did you run away? You could have just honestly admitted your mistake. Why did you have to get a beating to behave?"
Upon hearing that last sentence, Kondo nearly vomited blood.
Before running, he observed the situation and saw Uncle Mori sitting on a bench several meters away from him, with two children and a girl next to him.
At the time, he saw the policeman as the most threatening person, not the girl who resembled a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.
If he had known this girl was so fierce, he wouldn't have run away.
"I remember someone else fell off a cliff a month ago; that person seemed to be a female employee here." The officer suddenly remembered something and asked sharply, "You didn't do that case either, did you? Talk! Confess!"
“That case is indeed related to me.” Kondo lowered his head, a look of reminiscence on his face. “But that case…”
Before he could finish speaking, the police officer interrupted him: "You killed two people in just one month? You're utterly depraved, worse than an animal!"
"Hiss... Officer, can you let me finish?" Kondo, enduring the excruciating pain, explained with a pale face, "That case is indeed related to me, but I didn't do it, and that case was indeed an accident."
The officer remained suspicious, but still agreed to let Kondo explain for him: "Then go ahead and tell me. By the way, just a heads up, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I'll consider it as you deceiving a public official and obstructing official business."
"Please rest assured, it is definitely the truth."
Kondo still vividly remembers what happened that day, "It's all that Hirai's fault..."
In the next few minutes, Kondo explained the case of the female employee who fell off a cliff a month earlier, and also revealed his motive for killing Hirai.
"Oh, I see."
After hearing the explanation, Guangyou understood somewhat, "Ultimately, it all comes down to greed..."
Here's what happened: Hirai has been secretly picking alpine plants and wild animals from the mountains, intending to sell them at high prices to unscrupulous merchants.
Upon learning the news, Kondo and the female employee began investigating Hirai's actions in order to gather evidence.
One night, the two witnessed Hirai committing a crime, and they began to confront each other on the edge of a cliff.
Just as Kondo and Hirai were about to make their move, an unexpected incident occurred.
Kondo accidentally bumped into a female employee, causing her to fall off a cliff.
Therefore, Hirai began to blackmail Kondo using this incident.
As the saying goes, even a clay figure has three parts fire.
So Kondo went all in and used the method he had just mentioned to get rid of Hirai.
"Ha~"
As the police were preparing to leave, Uncle Mori slowly woke up. "Hmm? What happened?"
Upon seeing that Uncle Mori had woken up, the police officer handed Kondo over to his colleague for safekeeping, while he himself moved closer to Uncle Mori.
The police officer looked at Uncle Mori without hiding his admiration: "Mr. Mori, thanks to your reasoning this time, we were able to bring the criminal to justice."
"Huh? What reasoning? What rope? What law?"
Uncle Mori, who had just woken up from anesthesia, was still a little dazed and could barely open his eyes. "What happened?"
"Why does Mr. Mori look like he hasn't woken up yet?"
Seeing Uncle Mori's appearance, the police officer fell into deep thought again, and then suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder Mr. Mori is called 'Sleeping Kogoro'."
"Officer, I might not remember exactly what happened just now." Uncle Mori scratched his head in confusion as he saw Kondo being led into a police car not far away. "Did Mr. Kondo commit a crime? Why was he arrested?"
Upon hearing this, the police officer asked in surprise, "This case is a murder case, and the murderer is Mr. Kondo. Didn't you deduce that?"
"I deduced it?" Uncle Mori pointed at himself, his face practically screaming "Are you kidding me?" Then, a realization dawned on him, and he thought to himself, "The same as before?"
"Why does Mr. Mori look so bewildered? Has he forgotten his reasoning process?"
