Mao Lilan heard the noise, turned around and looked at the anxious person behind the door, and was startled, "Xin, Xinyi..."
"It's not that I don't want to see you," Kudo Shinichi looked at Mao Lilan, softened the eagerness on his face, sighed helplessly, and deliberately pretended to be casual, "it's because I have a job, a job!"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan came back to her senses, climbed the stairs in twos and twos, leaned forward and approached Kudo Shinichi, with fire in her eyes, "Is there any job that allows you to come here secretly without telling us?
You didn't care about the murder that happened before, but you still wanted to run away after I discovered it? You should explain it to me clearly, Shinichi!"
Kudo Shinichi took a step back and leaned against the wall. Looking at Mao Lilan's still dangerous gaze, he quickly raised his hand to stop him and said with a dry smile, "Listen to me, because you called me before,
You said that you want to be someone else's bodyguard, and you also want to participate in the Miss Zephyr selection competition. It just so happens that I'm not very far from here, and I have nothing to investigate for the time being, so I just wanted to come over and have a look at the situation here."
Mao Lilan thought that Kudou Shinichi was still concerned about her affairs, and the anger in her heart dissipated a lot, but she still glanced at Kudou Shinichi and said in an awkward tone, "You seem to be busy investigating recently, let you
Didn't I cause trouble for you by coming here just to see the situation?"
"Why are you causing trouble?" Kudo Shinichi said with a smile, "Seeing you in your wedding dress, I feel that today is not a loss at all!"
Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned red, the anger in her heart dissipated instantly, and she became a little embarrassed, "Yes, really..."
Kudo Shinichi continued to smile and said, "It's been a while since I last saw you. You seem to have gained weight."
"Speaking of which, when I put on the dress, my waist is a little bit..." Mao Lilan frowned slightly and reflected, suddenly realized something was wrong, gritted her teeth in annoyance, "New-one!"
Kudo Shinichi sweated and quickly changed the subject, "Anyway, you need to receive an invitation in advance to enter the banquet hall. I originally wanted to wait until your game is over before looking for you, but I didn't expect to meet my former client in the hotel.
I helped her catch a bad guy who wanted to do harm to her. The bad guy's associates wanted to retaliate against her because she hired me to investigate. Those guys found out that she was doing odd jobs in the hotel, so they chased her to the hotel...
"
While talking, Miyano Shiho also cooperated and walked down the stairwell on the third floor.
"The client I'm talking about is her!" Kudo Shinichi looked at Miyano Shiho behind Mao Lilan and struggled with what name to name, "She is..."
Miyano Shiho was still wearing the hotel's dark blue uniform and baseball cap. Seeing Mao Lilan turn around to look, he made up a pseudonym before Kudo Shinichi could introduce him, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, I'm Hailey."
"So that's it. When I got off the elevator before, I saw you running this way. I thought... I am Mao Lilan. Please give me some advice." Mao Lilan felt a little excited when she saw that the other party was a young and beautiful woman.
I was a little worried, but when I thought about a hard-working girl who worked part-time in a hotel being targeted by a bad guy, I couldn't help but sympathize with her. I decided to ask first, "Speaking of the bad guy's accomplices... why didn't you call the police? Officer Megure and the others had just gone out.
If you wanted help, couldn't you have just gone to them?"
Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho looked at each other and whispered solemnly, "The problem is, we are not sure how many people came to take revenge on her... Well, the bad guy I helped her catch was one of the criminal gangs.
There is more than one accomplice, and they are all dangerous guys. I am not sure how many people came to retaliate against her, and there is no evidence to prove that she will be in danger. Although based on my relationship with Officer Megure, as long as I
If you bring it up, Officer Memu will definitely help with the search, but they can't waste too much police force on something that didn't happen and there is no evidence to prove that it will happen..."
"Then what should we do now?" Mao Lilan looked up and down the stairs, frowning and thinking, "As long as we can catch those people and leave them to the police, then the matter will be solved, right? Then we
Just try to lead them somewhere..."
"No!" Miyano Shiho stopped him, "That would be too risky!"
"I'm also worried that those guys are being forced to hurt innocent people," Kudo Shinichi said quickly, "Xiaolan, the top priority now is not to fight them, but to find a way to ensure the safety of Hai...Hai Li, wait for us
After escaping from danger, I will track down their criminal evidence and then ask the police to send people to arrest them. Is this the best solution?"
Mao Lilan thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and looked at Kudo Shinichi, "You didn't plan to show off your strength this time, which really surprised me. I thought you had already considered how to catch the person when you made the plan.
It’s over…”
Miyano Shiho glanced at Kudo Shinichi and said nothing.
If he hadn't experienced the danger of members of the organization over and over again, I'm afraid Kudo wouldn't have retreated casually. He would have definitely thought about protecting himself, arresting people, and collecting evidence today.
In the face of crime, being 'tolerant' is definitely not Kudo's style, but being 'bold' and 'defiant' is.
Even now, after Kudo feels that they have a certain chance of winning in self-protection, he will definitely want to collect more clues.
"I want to change my style of doing things a little bit," Kudo Shinichi smiled deliberately, "As long as I can find evidence, the police will have no problem arresting people. They are also better at catching criminals, and I can be free."
Wouldn’t it be better to use your time and brain to resolve other events?”
"Learning to cooperate is also a kind of growth, right?" Mao Lilan smiled and expressed support and encouragement. She quickly remembered that there was another person next to her and quickly smiled apologetically at Miyano Shiho, "I'm sorry, I accidentally mentioned it.
I have other things to do... So, what are you going to do? Do you want to find a room to hide first? Or..."
"I will contact the doctor and ask him to drive to the parking lot to pick us up. Hailey will take his car and leave the hotel. As for me..." Kudo Shinichi wanted to stay and see the situation, but when he saw Mao Lilan was serious
With a look on his face, he quickly stopped talking and said with a smile, "Of course I will leave with you."
After Xiaolan is safely in the car, he can use an anesthesia needle to put Xiaolan down, and then he won't have to restrain his hands when he wants to investigate!
…
Outside the SO hotel building, the police took Shou Meimei into a police car.
Of course, TV station staff and newspaper reporters would not let this news go. They gathered around the police car, took pictures, and asked questions. The police car was blocked and unable to leave for a while.
The light of police lights and flashlights flashed, and the bright light was projected on the white exterior wall of the church next to it. There was also light passing through the large windows with patterns made of stained glass, making the interior of the church without lights sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
In the corridor behind the window, a middle-aged man in black walked quickly and lightly along the corner. He held a mobile phone to his ear and talked on the phone. When he turned the corner, he looked back at the police light on the window.
The projected light and shadow finally faded into darkness.
"A man wearing a dark green suit, not very old... yes, very young, his body does not look very strong..."
"Female? Well, it's not impossible. Because I only saw masculine short black hair, I subconsciously thought that the other party was a male without confirming..."
"Yes, the other person was wearing a hat and deliberately lowered his head. I couldn't see his face clearly..."
"Women too... However, there is nothing wrong with hair color. Brown hair is rare in Japan..."
"I didn't see clearly what the thing that hit me was, but I'm sure it wasn't a fist, it was probably a ball or something like that..."
As he spoke, the man arrived in front of the chapel and looked back warily at the dark aisle he had just walked through. When he saw the colorful lights flashing on the wall at the end, he actually felt that those colorful spots were so bright that it made his heart palpitate.
Just as the man looked behind him, a pistol stretched out from the darkness behind the chapel door, and the muzzle of the silencer-equipped gun was pointed at the man's head.
"call out--!"
There was a ray of fire from the muzzle, and a bullet penetrated the back and forehead of the man's head that was covered by his hat. The muffled sound echoed through the high dome of the chapel, and was soon replaced by the sound of the bullet hitting the wall.
The man fell to the ground with a plop, and the mobile phone in his hand fell beside him. The display of "Call in progress" on the screen immediately changed to "Call ended".
A hand wearing black gloves stretched out from the darkness, picked up the mobile phone on the ground, put it away, and placed a small bomb on the body.
The two people in the darkness did not touch the body again and walked straight out of the chapel.
"Brother, when shooting in a quiet church like this, even if there is a silencer, the sound is still very obvious, but at least it is farther away from the windows. There is no more suitable venue nearby than here. The reporters outside are so noisy.
No one can hear the sound here at all. People are constantly visiting the chapel during the day, and there are traces and footprints left by others everywhere. The police have no way to investigate based on the traces..."
While thinking about vodka, the two quickly walked through the dark corridor, turned the corner, and arrived at the corridor with large windows along the road.
The windows still reflected light, and the red, blue, and yellow glass looked very magnificent, but the red light of the police lights was no longer reflected on the glass.
"It seems that the police have withdrawn. Let me contact Luck as soon as possible." Vodka looked at the light and shadow on the glass, took out his mobile phone and dialed with his head, and followed Gin out. "Brother, according to the architectural drawings sent by Lack, we
As long as you go out from the side hall, you can enter through the unused entrance of the hotel parking lot, right? I just don’t know which way Shirley and her accomplices will choose..."
"Hmph... No matter which way they choose, they can't escape!" Gin looked up at the Celtic cross hanging on the wall in front of him, his eyes under his silver hair were extremely cold, and there was a bloodthirsty sneer on the corner of his mouth, "I
I rather hope they can go to the parking lot. Rather than Luck, we can meet up with Shirley and catch up on old times, so that she won’t be too bored before she dies..."
"Gin, wake up, I have an accomplice, and I won't be bored talking without you."
On the side, the voice coming from the mobile phone was hoarse and unpleasant, with a hint of joking in his tone.
Gin: "..."
Vodka held the phone and awkwardly observed Gin's face sinking, "Brother, I want to remind you that the call is connected, but you were talking just now, and I don't want to interrupt you..."
