Chapter 30 Paradise Hunting (Edited) A sensible person will do it for himself...
Having said that, Lin Xi still poked his head out from under the table, seized the opportunity, picked up Conan and ran out of the room.
Her body was as light as a swallow. Seeing that there were still people blocking the stairwell, she took the "No Entry" roadblock outside the door and threw it at their faces, then stepped on the handrail and slid all the way down.
"Xiao Ke, quickly notify that damn client!" Lin Xi said, his mouth full of wind: "What on earth does he want to do? If we want to fight, he won't even give us two weapons. How can we fight!"
"We still have minors on our side, three of them!"
The man in black didn't react in time and was hit on the head. Lin Xi took the opportunity to slip away with Conan.
As for the three upstairs, she believed that they would each show their talents!
"Sister Lin, there are people over there too!" Conan was held in her arms and pointed forward.
There were two other people at the door, also wearing black clothes and black hoods.
Lin Xi felt a toothache, and resisted the urge to throw Conan in his arms like a human cannonball. He pointed behind them and shouted, "Mr. Police! Save us!"
The man in black subconsciously turned around, and Lin Xi kicked the two men away with an elbow and a kick, and ran wildly in the street.
There was a faint commotion behind him, but Lin Xi ignored it and just kept running forward.
She guessed that the three people who stayed there attracted attention and bought time for her and Conan to escape.
After running past an intersection and seeing that there was no one behind them, Lin Xi put Conan down to catch his breath.
"Conan-kun." After breathing evenly, she put her hand on Conan's shoulder and asked, "Is your family rich?"
Conan: “?”
"Yes...right?"
"That's good." Lin Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm your bodyguard today, protecting you under heavy fire. You have to pay me some protection money."
Conan: “……???”
Did you know that after you just braved a hail of bullets, your first reaction upon returning to safety was to be paid by a child for protection?
Conan's nerves, which had been tense just now because of the suspected Black Organization, relaxed after hearing these words. He was about to speak when he felt his face being pinched:
"You looked so serious just now, you must be scared. But even if you're scared, you still have to do your job. Tell that stupid client that one of the three people he asked us to find is on drugs, two have run away, and someone is here to kill us to silence them... Tell him what he wants us to find."
"If we continue investigating, a few lives won't be enough. We need more money."
Lin Xi muttered to himself.
Conan: "Okay..."
He was just taking out his cell phone when the client called.
Conan answered the call and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Kudo Shinichi." The man's voice was low and ordinary, but it made Edogawa Conan break out in a cold sweat.
Oh no, I forgot about this!
For some reason this person recognized his identity and discovered that he was Kudo Shinichi, so a kid like him was able to solve the case together with these detectives!
But Sister Lin was right next to us, it was all over!
"Kudo Shinichi is next to me." Lin Xi reached out and took the phone from Conan's hand. "Since you can locate it, you should know that we have been to Yokohama Marine University, found the club, and solved your mystery, right?"
"Nishio Masaharu is suspected of being involved in drug trafficking. We are currently being hunted by a group of masked men in black. This matter is beyond our ability to resolve. Are you sure you haven't called the police yet?"
"..." There was silence for a moment. "Drugs?"
This answer seemed to be beyond his expectations.
"So, do you still want us to continue investigating?" Lin Xi said calmly, "The three suspects in the April 4th robbery are all missing, and they're also linked to a mafia organization. You know what this means. We're detectives, not police dogs. Do you want us to smell them and bite their trouser legs?"
Somehow, although her voice was calm, it made Ito Mihiko feel a chill rising from the soles of his feet.
It was as if the person across from her wasn't a tourist solving a case with the detectives, but a killer lingering in the gray area. If he got in her way, the devil would come knocking.
Haha, how is this possible?
A little girl.
Ito Suehiko twitched his lips, wiped the sweat off his face as he sat in front of the screen, "I don't care about that. I want you to find out how Nishio Masaharu disappeared."
After that, he hung up the phone and sent a video to the detectives' phones.
.
Earlier, the other side.
The tilted cabinet crushed two people, but there were still people on the other side watching them.
They were all holding pistols and were about to shoot.
There is a wolf on the left and a tiger on the right, and there is a window behind them. They are on the third floor and cannot jump out of the window to escape.
It seems that the three of them died here anyway.
Amuro Toru lowered his eyelids and was about to draw his gun when Kidd took action first.
Suddenly, three small balls appeared in his hand and rolled to the feet of the man in black, releasing choking white smoke in an instant.
He pulled his clothes, and Kaito Kidd appeared shiningly in the white smoke.
The special gun in his hand shot out several playing cards, knocking down the guns of several people blocking his way. He ran upstairs, leading several people to chase him.
Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows slightly, retracted his hand that was about to draw the gun, and pulled the surprised Hattori Heiji: "Let's go first."
The two of them took advantage of the thick smoke and ran out of the building. After seeing the two of them evacuate safely, Kaito Kidd put away his gun and jumped down from the roof like a white crow, gliding in the air and gradually moving away.
"That guy turned out to be Kaito Kidd!" Hattori Heiji said as he ran, "I, I never expected it! His disguise skills are quite advanced..."
"Indeed." Amuro Toru agreed, but another figure appeared in his mind.
That person also possesses the ability to disguise himself so well that it is impossible for gods or ghosts to distinguish him.
I've been thinking about her a little too often today.
He shook his head in his heart: "Meet up with Miss Lin and the others first."
…
"Sister Lin."
"Hmm?" Lin Xi returned the phone to Conan, "What's the matter?"
Seeing her calm expression, Conan's defense was stuck in his throat. After a long while, he stammered, "Aren't you curious why he calls me Kudo Shinichi?"
Lin Xi looked him up and down, which made Conan's heart beat fast.
"Why? You know Kudo Shinichi, and he asked you to help him with the case this time?"
The same excuse he always uses!
Conan chuckled and nodded.
It turns out that sensible people will figure it out for you themselves, so you don’t have to explain it at all!
He felt a slight push on the head. "What else? You're so young, and the client gave you such a dangerous job? Either it was Mr. Mori's arrangement, or you're Kudo Shinichi's helper."
"Come on, little helper, let's see what puzzle that stupid client has sent us."
"Okay, Sister Lin!"
Conan turned on his phone.
To their surprise, this time the client sent not a riddle, but a surveillance video.
The video was blurry, clearly an old-fashioned surveillance camera used by street vendors, with a fixed, overhead lens. However, despite the blur, it was clear that the long-haired man walking toward the end was Nishio Masaharu.
He was following a woman in an apricot dress stealthily, not too far away but not too close.
The video connected the videos captured by several surveillance cameras. The scenes changed several times, and Masaharu Nishio was always following the girl.
"The client wants us to find Shoji Nishio," the young detective said seriously. "The surveillance footage is from 1:30 p.m. on April 14th, the exact day the three people disappeared. It seems Nishio's disappearance is related to this person."
He was watching intently, dragging the progress bar of the video back and forth to watch it over and over again, without noticing that Lin Xi behind him had put on a mask of pain and closed his eyes.
The surveillance video is blurry and the face cannot be seen clearly, but how could she not know who the person in the video is?
The person that Shoji Nishio was following that day was her!
Lin Xi: The living are slightly dead.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
She couldn't believe how many lies she had to tell to distance herself from the organization's disappearance.
No, she had to think quickly...
She opened her eyes.
It’s decided to be you, Fengtan Group.
Take the blame!
"Sister Lin, what do you think?" Conan looked up at her.
Having just gone through hardships together, he couldn't help but feel a little dependent on Lin Xi and subconsciously asked for her opinion.
"Haha, my opinion is that this must have been done by the mafia."
"ah?"
"Look, why did those people suddenly appear? We just arrived at the old building of the Far East Company, and they showed up. They must have arranged for people to watch us. They didn't even ask who we were, and just wanted to kill us. They must be because they think we discovered the secret of Nishio Masaharu's drug use, and they are afraid that we will continue to investigate and turn their legal Yakuza into an illegal gang!"
"Uh, but..."
"What do you mean by 'but'? We'll just report this to the client and then quickly find an opportunity to defuse the bomb!"
"But we haven't figured out who the woman in the video is." Conan scratched his head. "And why are you so sure they're gangsters? Do you think they're Nishio Masaharu's superiors?"
Hey, why is Sister Lin sometimes reliable and sometimes unreliable? When she is unreliable, she really looks like uncle!
Lin Xi sighed deeply.
"Xiao Ke." She touched the top of Conan's head, "Don't you want to know who the person in the video is? No need to look for clues or reason, I'll tell you now."
“The person in this video is me!”
"Huh?" Conan's eyes widened.
"Really? Really?"
"Ms. Lin, how could it be you..."
Suddenly, two more people jumped out from behind Lin Xi.
One has very dark skin, the other has even darker skin, and both can be used as eye shadow when put into the palette.
They are Hattori Heiji and Amuro Toru who came to meet Lin Xi.
Those two sounds just now were made by them.
Being stared at by six eyes, Lin Xi couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"You can't blame me for this! That Nishio Shoji is a complete stalker!"
"Stalker?"
"Indeed, he has been following Miss Lin, looking like he has ulterior motives. There seems to be something fishy going on..."
"By the way, why did Miss Lin appear in this place that day? It looked like it was nearby..."
"That's the food street I pointed out to you. There's a delicious rice bowl restaurant there." Lin Xi sighed, "I came to Yokohama to eat that day to keep a date with Miss Shimizu."
"The rice bowl at that place is beautiful, fragrant and delicious. The fried food is cooked to perfection, the sauce is delicious without being overwhelming, and the rice used is the best fragrant rice...ah, I'm getting off topic. I mean, the rice bowl is delicious, but when I left the house, I realized someone was following me."
"I don't dare go home directly. Wasn't there that news recently about a stalker following a girl who lives alone home, memorizing her location, and then sneaking into her house while she's not around, raping and then killing her? I'm scared."
Hattori Heiji: "Then..."
Amuro Toru: “So…”
Conan: "Just put him..."
The child made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then got a slap from Lin Xi.
"Ahhhh!" Conan jumped up and down.
Not only does he look like an uncle when he's being unreliable, he also looks like one when he's punching people in the head!
"How is that possible? I wouldn't do anything illegal or criminal." Lin Xi said angrily, "I ditched him in the alley ahead and took the tram home!"
"I'm sure I dumped him into that alley, and he ran away because he couldn't find me!"
"This client is really... why drag me into this? Do I look like someone capable of beating up a creepy guy and then pouring cement over him? Slander, all slander!"
Amuro Toru looked at her and sighed in his heart.
Okay, now he knows why Masaharu Nishio died at the hands of the organization.
It turned out that the sexual harassment was directed at that person.
Punch, his former direct superior in the organization.
This girl was indeed her. He found out that Nishio Masaharu was taken back to the organization's base on the afternoon of April 14 and was secretly dealt with that evening.
In the afternoon, Lin Xi was followed, and Nishio Masaharu failed to kill him but was killed by the organization. Apart from Punch, who else could handle the matter so swiftly, have such a lazy temper and such a bad taste to run back to the crime scene to cooperate with the investigation?
So Lin Xi must be Punch!
After completing his circular reasoning, Amuro Toru felt a sense of relief. After three years, he finally caught Punch!
"Anyway, let's go to that alley first." He raised the corner of his mouth. "Only by going to the scene can we find evidence, right?"
Lin Xi looked at him in disbelief.
Hey!
As a member of this organization, why are you causing trouble?
The undercover agent is also a member of the organization!
I pulled these detectives in to make things difficult for Reiko Shimizu, not for myself!!
