Chu Ming stepped forward and untied the things on the squirrel, then calmed it down a little. Attracted by the cute pet, several children also gathered around it.
After playing squirrels with some kids, Chu Ming looked up by chance and found that Hattori and Conan behind him were gone again!!
Damn it, the detective's mouth is deceiving! ! What do you mean by next time? Isn't this just forgetting about me! !
Chu Ming handed the squirrel to Ayumi and told her to return the squirrel to Officer Ayanokouji when she had seen enough. Then he stood up and prepared to take Xiaolan to meet Kudo Heiji. By the way, they could have a fight to loosen up their muscles. He had been reading all day and hadn't been active for a long time.
"Where's He Ye? Why haven't I seen her today?"
Seeing Chu Ming coming over, Xiaolan also looked around: "Oh, yes, when she was in the hospital, she said she was going out for a while. It seemed that she lost something and she never came back."
"Call her and ask her to come back early. It's getting late and the murderer hasn't been caught yet. We don't know when he will strike again. It's too dangerous to be outside now." Chu Ming pretended to be worried.
Alas, He Ye's genuine CP was only concerned with following Conan to investigate the case, and his mind was full of his first love. He didn't even notice that his future girlfriend was missing. Instead, it was his organization that was really concerned about her safety.
Tsk tsk, that’s a bit ironic.
Chapter 395: Hating iron but not steel
"Beep-beep-beep-"
Xiaolan was on the phone, and it took a while for the call to be connected: "He Ye, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet? I——"
"This girl is in my hands. In one hour, have that dark-skinned Osaka detective come to Gyoryuuji Temple on Kurama Mountain alone. If he dares to call the police, this girl will die!"
An obviously processed voice came from the receiver, and Kazuha could be vaguely heard shouting beside him: "Tell Heiji not to come over, it's dangerous, he will be killed - beep beep -"
The call was hung up, and Xiaolan was at a loss as to what to do when holding the phone: "He Ye was kidnapped? The kidnapper told me not to call the police, but -"
Xiaolan looked at Officer Shiratori and Officer Ayanokouji, who had already stood up and were ready to respond to the call because their cell phones were on speaker. She paused. This shouldn't be considered calling the police, right?
Chu Ming had already lowered his head and called Hattori, telling him to go and save his girlfriend and stop thinking about whether it was first love or not. Before Chu Ming could tell him to take the lead and that someone from the police would naturally follow him, Hattori hung up the phone anxiously.
"..." Looking at the people staring at him with burning eyes, Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "He died before I could finish my words. But it doesn't matter. We already know the address. When the time comes, the police will sneak into the mountain. Hattori won't know the truth and it will be good for paralyzing the murderer. You guys get ready to go first. Xiaolan and I will sneak in to take a look. After all, we are the two with the highest fighting power here."
……╭（′▽‵）╭（′▽‵）╭……
Chu Ming took Xiaolan and walked up from the foot of Mount Kurama. There were so many trees here that cars couldn't drive in at all, so the two had to get out of the car and walk inside.
As Chu Ming walked, he explained to Xiaolan how to sneak in quietly without leaving any traces, and how to walk in the forest to avoid dead branches underfoot and avoid making any noise...
One was talking and the other was listening. Xiaolan's skills were already good, and she made obvious progress after being taught by Chu Ming. Without disturbing anyone, the two quietly came to the wall of Yulong Temple.
It was already nightfall. There was a lot of dry firewood piled at the base of the wall of Yulong Temple, and there were many shelters nearby. The two men quietly hid behind the firewood pile. There was no electrical connection here, and torches were used for lighting everywhere. So even though people came and went from time to time, no one noticed that they were hiding here.
Perhaps this is the advantage of having the daughter of the world's will by your side, with the bonus of top-notch luck, and no one will notice it even if you hide it carelessly.
After a while, a masked man walked out of the hall, holding He Ye, whose hands were tied behind his back.
"Huh, why isn't your boyfriend here yet?"
"Why did you come when you knew it was a trap!" He Ye looked stubborn. She wanted Hattori to come, but she also didn't want him to come.
I don't want him to come because I'm afraid he will be in danger for me; but I want him to come because of the girlish feelings in my heart.
The masked man stopped talking to He Ye because he saw a dark-skinned man wearing a hat and holding a bamboo sword slowly appear at the gate as the cherry blossoms fell.
It's you, Osaka Black Chicken - oh no, it should be Tokyo White Chicken now.
"Heiji!" Tears flashed in Kazuha's eyes.
"Hattori looks like Shinichi..." This came from Chu Ming. Xiaolan leaned her head out slightly, a little confused.
???
How did you recognize this at first sight?
Chu Ming made a 'hush' gesture, signaling Xiaolan to wait a while before going out.
"You didn't do anything to Kazuha, did you?" Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh at Conan's awkward Osaka accent. How dare Conan say that he has mastered Osaka dialect? ?
He Ye was also stunned by the strange accent, and after a while he shouted, "I'm fine—"
Listening to Kudo Heiji pulling his hat and explaining the murderer's murder method in detail, Xiaolan beside him frowned quietly: "Brother Chu Ming, that - it's not Hattori, right? It's Shinichi?"
Chu Ming looked at Xiaolan, who had a keen sense of observation. He had no intention of hiding anything for his brother and nodded: "Yes, I think it is him too."
Xiaolan clenched her fists slowly: "He came to Kyoto a long time ago. Why didn't he come to see me and stayed with Hattori?"
Chu Ming quietly fanned the flames: "This is a bit too much. I can't stand what Kudo did this time. We haven't seen each other for so long, and he didn't come to see you when he finally came to Kyoto! He's relying on your good temper, Xiaolan. You should give him the cold shoulder for a while, so that he knows that he can't do whatever he wants just because he confessed! And Conan, Xiaolan usually calls you sister, but it's useless at the critical moment. He doesn't even know to tell you about it. You love him in vain!"
Xiaolan blushed, and her anger subsided a little: "What, what confession... He, he can come or not... I don't care..."
Chu Ming looked at Xiaolan, who was saying one thing and thinking another, and then looked at Kudo Shinichi, who had already dragged He Ye into a heavy encirclement and whose true identity was exposed, and the rope that was still tied around He Ye's hands.
Chu Ming was sometimes really impressed by Kudo Shinichi's confidence in himself. You learned so much theoretical knowledge in Hawaii, but you failed to improve your fighting skills and singing.
You can't do it, but He Ye Xing is, at least she is an Aikido master, why don't you help her untie the rope, and you'll have an extra helper!
Alas, I am so disappointed!
Chu Ming quietly patted Xiaolan beside him and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go on stage."
I must not give Hattori the opportunity to appear, and I must not allow him to have time to chat with Kazuha privately. Otherwise, once they exchange messages, how can I earn emotion points?
This is something I should be the one to say!
It is my duty to promote the relationship between young couples!
After receiving the signal, Xiaolan, whose anger was almost overwhelming, jumped up from behind the firewood pile, kicked down several people surrounding Kudo Shinichi and Kazuha, and protected Kudo Shinichi behind her.
"Ran?" Kudo Shinichi's calm expression broke a little at this moment, and he asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
Chu Ming took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was drawn to Xiaolan and jumped onto the wall. He was now on the eaves of the main entrance, sitting on it with his legs outstretched. He said calmly, "Why, you only have eyes for Xiaolan?"
It’s too low to appear from the firewood pile. He should be more impressive and jump down from the eaves later. How handsome.
Chapter 396 Hero saves beauty
Kudo Shinichi looked up at the leg hanging from the eaves swinging in the air, listened to Chu Ming's groaning voice, and looked at Xiaolan in front of him. He knew that his external aid had arrived, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Ming put one leg on the edge of the eaves, leaped forward, flipped in the air, and landed suddenly. A faint light flashed between his fingers, passing through He Ye's bound hands, and then he stood directly in front of several people.
Kazuha broke free from the restraints and several people surrounded Kudo Shinichi.
After all, everyone knew that he was a weakling, so they tacitly protected him in the inner circle.
Of course, others were there to protect him, but Chu Ming was the only one who had bad intentions and wanted to see what method Kudo Shinichi could think of to get away from everyone when he was in danger of becoming smaller and being exposed in public.
Seeing more and more people coming, especially Chu Ming who appeared at the end, Nishijo Daihe was reminded of the last time he was beaten. He couldn't help but take a step back and tried to use the human wave tactics to consume their energy first.
"What are you standing there for? Come on!"
Upon hearing this, a group of disciples holding knives rushed forward with their knives raised. However, as soon as they moved forward, they were either thrown from behind by He Ye or kicked away by Xiao Lan. Chu Ming didn't even get a chance to attack.
Forget it, forget it, just leave the minions to them, he, the final player, can deal with the big boss.
Chu Ming walked forward slowly. At this time, the disciples had been cleaned up by the Valkyrie Xiaolan and He Ye. At this time, Chu Ming and Nishijo Taiga were the only ones standing in the middle of the courtyard.
Nishijo Taiga took two steps back and tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand. He felt that he was defeated before entirely because he was holding a short blade in his hand, which was not very convenient to use, so Chu Ming knocked his sword away.
Now he was holding his own weapon, while Chu Ming was unarmed.
Well, this time, the advantage lies with him!
He rushed towards Chu Ming with the knife in both hands, but he didn't expect that Chu Ming without a weapon was more oppressive than before. After dodging the blade sideways, he swept his left leg and kicked out in the air, hitting Xijo Dahe's face with a sound of breaking through the air.
As expected, Nishijo Taiga had practiced swordsmanship. Even after being kicked to the ground and having one of his teeth knocked out, he was still able to take a deep breath, wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and prepare to get up from the ground. His physical fitness was quite good. If it were any other prisoner, he would have fallen to the ground and been unable to move.
Unfortunately, Chu Ming does not have the demeanor of a master like the protagonist in the storybook, who can wait for his opponent to stand up before attacking again.
He only knew that he wanted to kill him while he was sick. While Xijo Dahe was still unable to get up, Chu Ming stepped forward and kicked him hard on the neck. With a click, Xijo Dahe's neck twisted and he immediately fell into coma.
Chu Ming was shocked when he heard the cracking sound, wondering if his neck was broken. He even squatted down to check his breathing, but luckily, he was not dead...
As expected, with the protagonists supporting him, he wouldn't die no matter how hard they hit him.
Don’t let him become the only murderer among the protagonists of the science world who goes to jail for accidentally killing a prisoner. That would be too embarrassing, and he would be laughed to death by the people in the organization. They would laugh for the rest of their lives and even be able to laugh themselves up while lying in their coffin.
-
By the time Hattori rushed to the mountain, breathless and sick, the opportunity was already cold. The police had already handcuffed and dragged away the prisoners lying on the ground in Yulong Temple one by one.
He originally thought that Conan's small body would definitely not be able to save Kazuha, so he quietly climbed down from the window, ready to support Conan and Kazuha. However, when he got to the foot of the mountain, he found many police cars parked together, and he knew that the matter was over.
At this time, Xiaolan, Sonoko and Kazuha were surrounding Kudo Shinichi and asking him questions all over the place, making Kudo Shinichi sweat coldly on his forehead.
On the one hand, it was because Haibara Ai gave him a pill that would give him symptoms of a severe cold, and then he drank half a bottle of liquor, which turned him into an adult. However, although his body has become larger, he is actually still suffering from symptoms of a severe cold and is very weak.
On the other hand, he felt that he could change back at any time, but he was held back by these three people and couldn't get away at all.
But Brother Chu Ming couldn't receive his distress signal at this time, and kept following the police, wandering around the place, and no one knew what he was doing.
The moment he saw Hattori rushing over, Kudo Shinichi felt that he had finally seen a reliable savior, and pointed at Hattori to change the subject: "Hey, Hattori--uh, Hattori, why are you here?"
At this time, Kazuha already knew that Kudo Shinichi had to dress up as Hattori to save him because he suddenly fainted. Seeing Hattori rushing over exhausted, she quickly ran over and asked with concern: "Heiji, are you feeling better?"
Hattori nodded mechanically and looked at Kudo Shinichi in shock: "Kudo? You——"
Kudo Shinichi quickly interrupted him and said, "Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission. I helped you rescue Kazuha."
"Ah? Ah! Yes, yes, thank you so much, haha..." Hattori's mind worked quickly and he received the signal that Kudo Shinichi had been trying to convey. He stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders and walked out without leaving a trace. "Thank you, brother. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do. Do you have anything else to do? Go get busy..."
Kazuha pulled Hattori back and said, "Heiji, what are you doing? Kudo finally got to meet Xiaolan, and they haven't even said a few words yet. Go away and let them talk more."
Hattori was forcibly pulled away by Kazuha, and Sonoko pushed Xiaolan over, and Xiaolan's two best friends began to force them to pair up.
"Shinichi, Shinichi..." Xiaolan's face turned a little red, and she was extremely shy.
Shinichi didn't care about being shy. He stayed with Xiaolan all day. Although he saw Xiaolan with his body and wanted to comfort her and talk to her, but...
He felt the severe pain sweeping through his body from his heart. His whole body was trembling slightly, and the sweat on his body almost soaked his clothes.
No, I can’t stay here any longer. If I stay any longer I will really shrink and turn into Conan in front of everyone.
But Kudo Shinichi forgot how weak he was now. He felt limp all over and had almost no strength left, not even the strength to move his legs.
He groaned, half leaning against the wall, sweat dripping down his face. The pain in his heart almost made him suffocate. His whole body felt like it was on fire, and his lips and teeth were dry.
"Shinichi's body is so hot!"
"Do you have a fever?"
"What should we do? Send him to the hospital quickly?"
