Chapter 48: Dying Request

Chapter 48: Dying Request
They sat on the ground, some of them were trembling, some had bruises on their faces.

Zhi Jiashi sat on the sofa, wearing surgical gloves, eating the food in front of him.

The food in front of her was extremely rich.

There was a man lying in the corner with a sign hanging on his body.

His body was covered in blood, his head tilted to one side, and he was already dead.

Looking at this scene, Hitoshi Terauchi felt extremely excited, and the blood in his body seemed to be surging and roaring.

He turned his attention to the table beside him and watched the final countdown.

"What should we do now?"

"Let's kill one first." Zhi Jiashi pointed at the slightly thin man who was kneeling on the ground.

The man felt terrified.

"No, no, spare me!"

Two men in black beside him held him down.

He kept begging, hoping that the other party would let him go.

But the footsteps were still approaching slowly, and the utility knife in the other party's hand kept sliding, making the feeling of fear more and more intense.

"Hey!"

Just then, the basement door was suddenly kicked open and a woman rushed in.

"I have come as you requested."

"coming."

Zhi Jiashi said softly, looking up and signaling.

The two men in black understood what the other party meant, ran forward, pinned Qinghai Chuantang down, and forced her to kneel on the ground.

Then he tied her hands behind her back with a rope and wrapped it with tape several times to make it more secure.

"I have come as requested. Now, should you let them go?"

She said while looking in the direction where Zhi Jiaye was.

"I've never locked them up." Zhi Jiashi looked at the thin man and said, "Get out now."

The man was stunned, his eyes showing a hint of panic and helplessness.

"You little brat, don't you understand me when I tell you to get out?"

The man crawled over using his hands and feet, crawled to the side of Zhi Jiashi, looked up at her and said: "The world can abandon me, but mom won't. Mom, I was wrong, please don't abandon me."

His voice was filled with tears.

Zhi Jiashi smiled and reached out to touch him: "Only this way can you be a good child."

After saying that, she picked up a bone from the lunch box and threw it aside.

"Come on, go eat."

The man crawled over quickly as if he had received some kind of divine blessing.

He picked up the bones on the ground and put them into his mouth, chewing them as if they were some delicious delicacy.

"If we leave stray cats and dogs alone, they will starve to death on the street, right?"

Zhi Jiashi suppressed his smile and said, "Also, did you really come here as I asked? You even brought someone with you to the underworld."

The two children, escorted by several men in black, knelt on the ground with her.

Conan, and Haibara Ai.

"Nonsense! Why are you here!" She looked a little angry.

Conan said nothing, just signaled with his eyes.

Following his line of sight, Qinghai Chuantang saw something stuck to the corner of his clothes.

Tracker. When is it?
He opened his mouth but no sound came out, but Qinghai Chuantang understood what he meant: Don't worry, someone will come to save us.

Chikayo stood up and walked in front of them.

"Originally there was only one person, but now there are two more options. It's rare to see children as brave and fearless as you."

"But I don't like it, because I think it's better for children to be obedient."

She looked at Huihara Ai and said with a smile: "Let's start with you."

"Click——"

Hitoshi Terauchi slid the utility knife and slowly approached Haibara Ai.

"and many more!"

He actually stopped and looked at her, perhaps waiting for her to leave any last words or something.

"You just want to kill me anyway, right?"

"so what?"

Zhi Jiashi looked at her, somewhat expectantly expecting what she would say next.

"Let them go. How about we make a deal? How much money do you want? Even billions is fine."

"Take this money and go to other places. I can help you buy boat tickets and forge the corresponding identities. You will never be discovered by the police. As long as you can let them go."

"If you can let them go, I will give you everything I have, including my life."

Haibara Ai's expression looked surprised, or it would be more appropriate to say shocked.

How stupid can a person be to say something like this that disregards life and death?

Acting? Is it necessary?

But she looked so sincere, as if she would really do it even at the cost of her life as long as the other party agreed to her request.

"Sincere?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, his expression seemed to become sad: "Please."

Chikayo laughed out loud, and Terauchi Hitoshi also laughed with her.

"Sure enough, seeing someone in pain is more interesting. So I decided to let you die last, and then let you watch them die in pain with your own eyes, watching them suffer."

"So, no?"

"Of course."

Zhi Jiashi thought her question was a bit naive, and then added: "You didn't have the right to choose from the beginning."

No matter what, the end is death.

"Before I die"

Qinghai Chuantang glanced at Terauchi Hitoshi, then looked at Chikayo, and said, "Let me have a bite of fried chicken."

"What?" Both of them showed some surprise.

Qinghai Chuantang moved and said to her, "I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't have time to finish my meal. My stomach is empty. It is said that ghosts who die on an empty stomach look bad, so at least I can have a full meal before I die, right?"

She looked so righteous that she amused Chikayo and Terauchi Hitoshi.

Zhi Jiashi walked over, snatched the bone from the man's hand, and threw it in front of Qinghai Chuantang.

He smiled and said, "Since you are hungry, eat this."

I guess only dogs like smooth bones, right?

"You old people are really going too far. Can you at least be a little more humane? Why are you letting me eat other people's leftovers?"

"Some European countries will prepare a last supper for the condemned before their execution to meet their wishes. I think we should learn from this beautiful custom."

Zhi Jiashi signaled him with his eyes.

Just as Qinghai Chuantang was chattering away, Terauchi Hitoshi suddenly came in front of her and slashed her body with a utility knife.

The blade was very sharp and Qinghai Chuantang soon felt the pain.

The blood slowly spread, as if trying to dye her white shirt red.

"Sister Xiaotang!"

Qinghai Chuantang looked a little painful, and finally fell to the side.

"pain"

She said this softly and closed her eyes.

Looking at the person lying on the ground, Zhi Jiashi sighed, as if feeling sorry for her.

"I changed my mind at the last minute. I can't help it. You're too noisy. Otherwise, I would be happy to keep you until the end."

Chikayo looked at Haibara Ai again, "Now, it's your turn."

Huiyuan Ai looked at them coldly: "You are really a bunch of lunatics."

Zhi Jiashi didn't care about her words. Instead, he smiled and said, "The word 'mad' is not appropriate to describe us. Unfortunately, you can't learn any more appropriate words."

"Click——"

Hitoshi Terauchi slid the utility knife in his hand.

"move"

Before Zhi Jiashi could finish his words, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a man in black fell to the ground along with the iron door.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Two men walked down the stairs, and one of them said, "I wanted to go faster, but I didn't expect to meet some annoying guys on the way."

Subaru Okiya.Toru Amuro?
How did these two get together?

"Go and untie them first, and leave this to me."

"No need for your orders."

More than twenty people who were sitting stood up, rushed towards him and wrestled with him.

They had not received any professional training, nor had they practiced deliberately, so they were no match for Subaru Okiya.

Although their attacks were disorganized, they knew how to find other ways: grabbing, chewing, biting and hitting.

After all, there are both boys and girls among these children.

Seeing that something was wrong, Terauchi Hitoshi and Shiba Yoshiyo quickly escaped through the back door.

At this time, a group of people in black suddenly appeared.

Their faces were not so sallow, and they all had muscles on their bodies, obviously they had been deliberately trained.

After escaping from the back door, Hitoshi Terauchi and Yoshiyo Shiba ran into the woods and could no longer run.

They were panting. They were elderly and naturally did not have as much physical strength as before.

Zhi Jiashi took a breath, raised his head slightly, and said: "Now, it's time to end. At least, we still had a good game, didn't we?"

"Are you ready?" said Zhi Jiashi.

Hitoshi Terauchi took out a utility knife from his pocket.

Zhi Jiashi smiled, pulled down his collar, revealing his neck, and closed his eyes.

When the utility knife was about to approach her, Hitoshi Terauchi hesitated, his hands trembling, and he almost couldn't hold the knife steadily.

His rapid breathing betrayed his inner feelings.

Zhi Jiashi opened his eyes and looked at him with amusement: "Can't you do it? I clearly told you that hesitation will kill you."

She snatched the knife from the man's hand, slashed his neck hard, and the man fell to the ground instantly.

Chikayo pulled down her collar again. This time, she was ready to commit suicide.

"don't want--"

Something hit her neck.

"I will never let you die so easily before you pay the price for your crimes!"

The police finally arrived and took away Terauchi Hitoshi and Shiba Yoshiyo, as well as dozens of people who had been brainwashed by them.

It may take a long time before they can return to normal life.

Or, you may suffer from the shadow all your life.

Perhaps their lives were destined to be dark the moment they met each other.

Abuse, exploitation, and killing. The crimes of Terauchi Hitoshi and Chiba Yoshiyo cannot be forgiven, and they are not qualified to be forgiven.

When the case came to an end, Conan understood something in his heart.

My mood also quietly changed.

Most of the murderers I met in the past would kneel on the ground in pain and confess their mistakes.

He thought this was already "evil", but he didn't expect that what he was dealing with was just the surface.

Maybe he really is young.

Conan watched the ambulance go away. When it disappeared from his sight, he finally looked to his side.

"Haiyuan."

Conan blinked, a little surprised: "Where's Huiyuan?"

The next chapter is a transition (it involves some of Ai and Tang's past, as well as Tang's secret), and the next four chapters after the next chapter are mainly about the first two chapters being funny, and there is no reasoning in the last two chapters, so those who don't like it can skip it. (It doesn't rely on reasoning, but on talking nonsense)
