Chapter 192: The Mysterious Visitor
Chapter 192: The Mysterious Visitor
Night. Xiaolan looked at the scenery outside the window in her father's office alone, there was no light in the room, and the darkness and silence of the room seemed to set off the worry and incomprehension on Xiaolan's face even more. What happened today seems to have left a lot of shadows on Xiaolan.
Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......
Just as Xiaolan was hesitating, the phone on the table suddenly rang, and when she turned around, Xiaolan hurriedly picked up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, a very hearty voice came.
"Yo Xiaolan, I haven't been in touch for a long time. β
"New, Shinichi?" Xiaolan's eyes were full of surprise. Yes, it was indeed a call from Kudo, and just after Conan and I returned to the room first, Conan took out his mobile phone and planned to call Xiaolan to comfort him. And I, who went downstairs and stood at the door of my father's reception room, waited for the two of them to finish the phone call, and then walked in to talk to Xiaolan and comfort her again.
"Ah, I've just heard from Dr. Asa about your side. It's unbelievable. Kudo's slightly helpless voice came into Xiaolan's ears.
"What an unbelievable thing, where are you now!" As if to find a cathartic point, Xiaolan said with tears in her eyes. "Now, Shinichi, can you come back soon? β
"Well...... The cases on my side are also endless, and I can't get out for the time being, so I ...... "......
On the other side, standing at the door, I looked at Xiaolan's anxious appearance in the room, and I couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Yes, my mother was attacked, and my father was also targeted, and now Xiaolan is recalling her father's shooting of her mother ten years ago because of this incident, as a daughter, she is under great pressure at this moment. Perhaps in her mind, the reason for her mother's and father's separation has been redefined.
After a long time, Xiaolan hung up the phone, but the sadness and incomprehension in her eyes were even more intense, it seems that Kudo's comfort effect on Xiaolan is not obvious, or maybe even Kudo himself can't understand why my dad shot at my mom. Sighing slightly, I pushed open the door and walked towards Xiaolan.
"Sister Xiaolan. I turned on the light in my room and called softly.
"Eh, Kaoru?" Seeing me come in, Xiaolan hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes, and then looked at me. "Why haven't you slept so late?"
"Well, I heard there's going on here, so I'm going to come down and take a look. I argued. "It's your sister Xiaolan, why haven't you rested yet?"
"I'm ......" Lauder frowned slightly. "I'm a little concerned about the daytime. β
"What happened during the day? Dr. Asasa and they were attacked, or was it because of what Officer Shiratori said?" I asked knowingly.
"Well, it's all there. Xiaolan said sadly. "Now, Kaoru-chan, why did Dad shoot Mom? β
"Are you really still struggling with this?" Seeing Xiaolan's eagerness to pursue the answer, I couldn't help but say silently in my heart. Forget it, tell her. After thinking about it, I finally decided to tell Xiaolan the answer.
"Sister Xiaolan, although Uncle Maori shot Aunt Yingli, it may not be the truth you see. β
"Huh?" Xiaolan was surprised, because just now on the phone, Kudo said the same thing. "Just now, Shinichi said the same thing, but why?" Xiaolan was even more puzzled.
"Hmm...... Have you ever asked Aunt Yingli where that shot hurt?" I asked, curling the corners of my mouth. What she got was Xiaolan's shake.
"Therefore, Aunt Yingli has not felt any discomfort so far, which proves that the uncle's shot did not hurt Aunt Yingli's vital point, so I think that the shot may have a reason. β
Listening to my words, Xiaolan fell into deep thought. But looking at her expression, it still doesn't seem to understand.
"That's it, Sister Xiaolan, let's review the scene. β
"Huh?" Xiaolan was puzzled.
"Well, according to your memory, do you remember what it was like?" I asked indifferently.
"I remember seeing Mom fall to the ground because of a shot from Dad, and then Dad shot Murakami in the shoulder again. That's how he was subdued. Xiaolan said thoughtfully.
"Well, let's recreate the scene at that time. I smiled, "Now, I'm Aunt Yingli, and Sister Xiaolan, you're Murakami, then, please hold me hostage, let's see the effect." β
"This ...... All right. After thinking about it, Xiaolan agreed with me. Then, Xiaolan knelt behind me, locked my neck with one hand, and put the other hand in a pistol gesture against my head, "Well, it should be like this." β
"Well, the right hand locks the neck to restrict freedom, the left hand holds a gun and threatens, and the whole body is blocked by the prisoner. In this way, if Uncle Maori were to shoot, the chances of hitting the prisoner were much smaller. Right?" I turned to Ran, who nodded slightly. If so, I continued, "So, what are we going to do in order to be able to hit the prisoner?
"Hmm...... If I was held hostage......" Xiaolan looked up and thought for a moment. "I think I just used karate to subdue the prisoner, right?"
"......" I stroked my forehead helplessly, can Xiaolan not be so cute at this time. "Well, if in the case of not being able to use karate. β
"Hmm...... I don't know. β
"Prisoners take hostages to protect themselves. And what the police have to do is to rescue the hostages and then subdue the prisoners. As I spoke, I gently tugged at Lan's arm that was locked around my neck. "When a person is held hostage, his body is very uncomfortable, and there is some fear in his heart, so he will struggle, so he must maintain a posture that does not make the prisoner impulsive, that is, to master his own balance, this action is subconscious. Only people like Sister Xiaolan, who have practiced taekwondo, or those who have some foundations, will not feel afraid. β
"Eh, is that so?" said Lan, tilting her head.
"Well, that's probably what it looks like. I laughed, "So, what do we do in order for the police to be able to subdue the prisoners directly? That is, to leave the prisoner's control and create space for the police." β
"Huh?!" Xiaolan was startled.
"Well, I think Uncle Maori just saw through that, that's why he ......"
Knock knock.
Before I could finish my sentence, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
"Which one?" Xiaolan subconsciously stood up when she heard the sound of the door.
"Hello, is this a Maori detective agency?" a sweet voice came from outside the door. Hearing this, Xiaolan was also slightly stunned, and then hurriedly ran over to open them.
With a squeak, the door opened, and the person in front of Xiaolan made Xiaolan feel a little amazing, it was a beautiful woman with a good figure, white boots, black stockings, and a white dress showed the woman's perfect figure to the fullest, and the bright red eyes were amazing, but the most eye-catching thing was the silver hair that hung down her waist. It is as smooth and bright as a silver waterfall.
"Yes, yes. May I ask who you are?" After staring at her for a long time, Xiaolan suddenly reacted back, blushing a little.
"Hello, first meeting. I'm Ming Ya Kaoru's mother, Ming Ya Jingliu. These days, Kaoru has caused you trouble. "Eh, eh, eh, ?!!!"
βββββββββββ Detective Conan's Fourteenth Targetβββββββββββββ
"Unexpectedly, Kaoru's mother turned out to be such a beautiful person. A few minutes later, Xiaolan came to the reception table with two cups of tea. Indeed, Xiaolan was also a little surprised by this sudden visit. Who would have thought that at a time like this, someone would visit.
"Where, you won the prize Xiaolan. Jing Liuluo smiled generously. "It's Kaoru, the kid, it's good that I didn't cause you any trouble. As she spoke, Shizuru stopped me in her arms. In the face of Jingliu's intimate behavior, I can only meet it and cooperate.
"How come, Kaoru is a very smart child, with him, every time my father solves a case, he will find a lot of inspiration and clues from Kaoru's words and deeds. Xiaolan said politely.
"It would be great if that was the case. Shizuru said with a smile. "To be honest, our work is always facing going abroad, so we have no one to take care of this child, and we have no choice but to entrust him to Dr. Kasasa, and we don't know that Dr. Kaoru has handed over this child to you, please allow me to apologize again for the trouble caused to you, and secondly, my work here has just ended, and there should be a two or three days off, so I want to take Kaoru back to live for a while. I'm going to send him back in two days, so I want to ask your opinion, I wonder if Mr. Maori can agree?"
"Ah, that ......" Xiaolan squirmed slightly. "My father is still working, so it's not easy to make a decision, and my mother has been recuperating recently. So ......"
"Huh?!" A hint of surprise flashed in Shizuru's eyes, and he lowered his head to look at me, and my face was a little cold because of Xiaolan's words. "In this case, then we won't disturb Lingzun Lingtang. I wonder if Xiaolan can allow me to take Kaoru back?"
"Ah, of course you can. Xiaolan hurriedly replied.
"Well, thank you Xiaolan, then I'll take Kaoru for two days first, and then I'll trouble you to continue to help me take care of him. After that, Shizuru led me to my feet.
"You're welcome. Xiaolan also stood up. Drop us off at the door.
"Then Xiaolan, it's getting late, please stay. "The door of the room is quiet again. spoke, and Xiaolan didn't continue to chase, just stood at the door of the room and waved to me. Then he watched as Shizuru took me out.
"Whew...... Thank you, Sister Shizuru. As I walked down the stairs, I let out a sigh of relief. "I'm really bothering you, making you rush all the way from afar...... Woo woo woo !! "Before she could finish speaking, Shizuru pressed my head into her arms. Rubbing hard.
"Bing~~I miss dying ~" before he walked out of the door, and Shizuliu's motherly temperament just now completely collapsed in an instant, and once again returned to its charming and playful appearance.
"Hi ~ Hi ...... My fault, my fault. It's because I haven't contacted you for too long, you let me go first, let ...... Woo woo woo ...... "Before I finished speaking, I was once again overwhelmed by the grandeur of Shizuru's chest. It seems that I haven't seen Jingliu for too long, and at this moment, I finally caught this doll again, and Jingliu didn't plan to let go so easily.
Holding me, the quiet turn passed through two streets. At the next intersection, I saw the Ferrari that had been given to Shizukyu. The three sisters of the Ning family stood straight next to the car, and when they saw my arrival, the three of them immediately saluted and said hello.
"Mr. Minya. β
"Mr. Minya. β
"Mr. Minya. β
"Well, thank you guys. "I got down from the arms of Shizuru. Nodding to them. "It's so late, and I'm bothering you to come here. β
"Where, Mr. Minya. Ning Xue bowed. "I wonder why Mr. Mingya came to us?"
"Ah, let's go home first. I'll talk about it when I get home. I said slowly.
"Yes. β
Without saying much, Ning Xue walked to the driver's seat, started the car, and after a few people got into the car, Ning Xue stepped on the accelerator and drove away. (To be continued.) )
