"It's all because of your help that my wish can come true..."
Mao Lilan froze in place, forgetting to speak for a moment.
At only sixteen years old, she never imagined that her brave and kind actions would indirectly lead to the death of an innocent person.
Rose was madly in love with the angel played by the actor Sissi, and when Siss received an invitation from another crew and decided not to play the role of Angel in the Golden Apple, she became murderous.
Yuan Huaiyu was deeply impressed by this nonsense motive for the murder, and could only sigh that the free country of the United States really breeds some strange things.
When she visited the backstage before, Rose had arranged a trap and hung the heavy iron armor costume from the ceiling, hoping to take the opportunity to kill the Sith.
But on the contrary, she was caught by the nails because of her costume and could not escape immediately.
Just when she was about to be killed by the armor falling from the sky, Xiaolan stepped forward and threw her aside, saving Rose's life.
However, Rose, who escaped, eventually killed the Sith.
The murder case was solved, and all relevant personnel, including several actors and Yukiko, were notified by the police to go to the police station to take notes.
Xiaolan seemed to have lost her soul and mechanically accompanied Shinichi to send Yukiko to the police car.
"Well, Shinichi, I'm going to take notes. You and Xiaolan can take a taxi to the hotel to go through the check-in procedures."
Yukiko told her son.
"By the way, be careful of that murderer! I heard that he is a long-haired man of Japanese descent..."
After leaving these words, the police car drove Yukiko away.
"I know! Really, every time you treat me like a child, I'm obviously already a high school student..."
In the wind and rain, Kudo Shinichi held an umbrella and watched the police car drive away, muttering dissatisfiedly.
…
In the taxi, Kudo Shinichi was talking endlessly to himself about the story of Sherlock Holmes, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Usually, Xiaolan would often use some sarcastic words to deal with him when he was immersed in the world of Sherlock Holmes.
But now, Xiaolan seemed to have not heard him and ignored him completely.
"Eh? Xiaolan, what's wrong with you..."
Kudo Shinichi looked at his childhood sweetheart sitting next to him.
The girl was looking ahead in trance, motionless.
"You shouldn't be upset because of what Rose just said, right?"
How keen is Kudo Shinichi's observation ability? He revealed Xiaolan's thoughts with just one word.
Xiaolan denied it: "Ah? What? What did she say? She spoke English so fast that I couldn't understand it..."
"It's nothing, it's not an important matter." Shinichi was also worried that letting Xiaolan know what Rose said would leave trauma on the girl's heart, so he quickly changed the subject, "Close the window. Didn't you talk about yourself this morning?
Do you have a little fever?"
"Already healed!"
"If the rain comes in, the driver will also have a headache."
"Don't worry, I will wipe the wet area with a handkerchief before getting off!"
Mao Lilan pinched the handkerchief and smiled at Shinichi.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Xiaolan, who was a little distracted, couldn't hold it tightly, and the handkerchief floated out of the window with the wind.
"ah!"
She anxiously said to the driver: "Sorry! Please stop the car!"
"Squeak--" A sudden brake and the taxi stopped on the side of the road.
…
Belmore stumbled into a dark abandoned apartment.
After all, she is not an iron person. After a long period of running and avoiding, she finally returned to this abandoned apartment, but the wound on her right abdomen also burst open again, and blood dripped at the entrance of the apartment.
It is completely dark in New York today. Under the rain, only a few old street lamps barely emit a dim yellow halo.
She struggled to identify the direction and moved weakly towards the body of the silver-haired murderer.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and most of her clothes had been soaked along the way. She was unable to find dry cloth to re-bandage herself.
As a last resort, Bellmore decided to give himself simple medical treatment at the silver-haired murderer's temporary hiding place.
She gritted her teeth and used the knife she carried to pick out the bullet embedded in her body. She also cut open the dry cloth she found in the room and wrapped it around her abdomen several times.
Then she walked out of the room and shot another shot in the same position on the body with a silenced pistol. After a series of complex disguises, she made it look like he had fled here in desperation, knew he could not escape, and shot himself.
After dealing with all this, she checked carefully to make sure that she had not left any traces that could be traced.
Just as she was about to go back along the way she went upstairs and clean up the fingerprints and bloodstains along the way, a familiar voice came from downstairs.
"I'll get it back for you! Just wait for me in the taxi!"
Belmore's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately recognized that it was the voice of her friend Yukiko's son, a high school student named Kudo Shinichi.
Why would he come to this place!
Belmore didn't know the answer. But she knew that if she didn't respond, the other party might follow the blood stains on the ground and find her way upstairs!
He is very likely to meet her and discover the fact that the real white-haired murderer is dead and that tonight's murderer is someone else pretending to be her!
Her mind raced, and she responded in a few breaths——
At least you have to lure the other party away from the corpse!
She quickly dripped the reagent to remove all the blood stains near the body. Then she gritted her teeth and tore open the bandaging strips, allowing the wound to bleed.
Bleeding, she ran in the opposite direction to the body, running into the building next door from the small overpass connecting the buildings.
Just as she expected, subtle footsteps sounded from the location where she was before, getting louder and closer.
The brave and fearless high school detective discovered the blood stains on the ground and chased after him, knowing that there was a high probability of a gun on the other side.
According to Belmode's plan, she would lure this kid out of this area and use her familiarity with the distribution of nearby houses to get rid of him.
She didn't want to shoot this acquaintance's son unless it was absolutely necessary.
But she soon encountered a desperate situation.
Mao Lilan panted heavily, and every breath he exhaled was burning.
She already had a slight fever, and after being caught in the rain, coupled with the impact of the incident in the theater on her soul, this poor high school girl's body was almost reaching its limit.
【Everyone is...】
【Because I am...】
With tears in her eyes, she was walking on the rusty exterior stairs when she suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from above.
[Someone is walking down...]
She raised her eyes and saw a Japanese man with a stubble on his face rushing down, holding his right abdomen and holding a pistol.
