Chapter 197: Writing Knights

"Whew, !!!" I surfaced, and then took a big gulp of the outside air, the sudden explosion just now caused the sea water to rush directly into the hall, everyone was scattered by the impact of the sea, and I was no exception. Fortunately, the water pressure calmed down after the water rushed in, and I had a chance to swim towards the unsubmerged space above.

One after another, everyone swam up one by one. Dad took Nishina, who couldn't swim, Shishido and Ford rushed up one after another. Then there are Officer Twilight and Officer Shiratori, and then Conan. However, three people are still missing. Xiaoran, Nana, and Sawaki are fair!

"Hey, Kaoru. Have you seen Xiaolan!" Conan's heart tightened.

"Go down and find it!" Without hesitation, I stabbed myself down. Conan picked up an empty bottle and dove into the water with me.

As soon as I plunged into the water, I saw Xiaolan's figure, because of the impact of water pressure, one of Xiaolan's legs was stuck under the sports car in the hall and could not get out. Moreover, as the struggle was fruitless, Xiaolan soon fainted due to lack of oxygen. Seeing Xiaolan's faintness, my heart trembled violently, and I hurriedly swam towards her. Came to her side, grabbed her head with both hands, lifted up, and sent the oxygen that had just been inhaled into her lungs into her mouth without reservation.

“...... cough, hmm...... "As soon as I coughed up a mouthful of water in my lungs, Xiaolan's mouth was quickly covered by me to prevent more water from choking in. And after a few short seconds, Xiaolan's eyes opened slightly, and she didn't know what she saw in her hazy eyes. After a short period of distraction, the hazy eyes regained their brilliance, and after seeing the person clearly, Xiaolan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

I smiled at him with a slight nod, then lowered my gesture to signal her not to breathe. And Conan also came to us at this time. At the same time, a bottle full of air was handed over. Taking the bottle, I took a sip, about half a bottle, and then handed the bottle to Xiaolan, who endured the tightness in her chest, sucked up the air in the bottle, and then coughed up the last of the stagnant water in her lungs. Seeing that Xiaolan was temporarily out of danger, I also entered the next intense work. I motioned for Conan to lift up the car that was stuck in Ran, and I ran to the front of the car, standing firmly on the ground with the weight of the car. The core was steady, my legs were strong, and the car was slowly lifted up by me, at the same time. Xiaolan and Conan also instantly exerted their strength and broke away from under the car. Then, the three of us slowly swam towards the place above where there was still space.

"Drink !! ......" The three people breathed the air above at the same time, and everyone above also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about Nana and Mr. Sawagi!," Dad asked.

"I guess I've escaped. The large hole created by the explosion just opened up the isolation from the sea. I frowned. "The prisoner this time is probably Mr. Sawaki. For when I stumbled, I heard only the voice of a man. It's so close, I guess I heard it right. "This juncture is on the bone. I can't hold it back, or I'll have to let him slip away this time.

"Is that so!......" Officer Twilight said in surprise, and at the same time, a sharp pain swept over him, the wound last time should have collapsed, after all, such a big impact.

"Look, Officer Twilight!" Conan pointed to the water, only to see that all the pokers from two to seven were floating on the water.

"Hmm...... Anyway, get out of here!" Officer Twilight commanded, enduring the pain of his wound.

"Then Xiaolan is taken by me. "Dad was the first to decide.

"I'll take the police with me. Shiratori took the initiative to take responsibility.

"Nishina, you follow me. "Shishido is generous.

"Then I'll leave the two children to me. Ford said the same.

"No, we can both swim through on our own. Conan pointed at me, and I nodded. In this way, everyone did not waste time, and took a deep breath and sank into the water. Swim towards the sea.

——————————— Detective Conan's Fourteenth Target—————————————

Finally, everyone swam to the surface !!of the sea. Everyone walked to the land place above the Ocean Casino one after another.

"Lan, are you alright? Dad helped Xiaolan ashore.

"Well, ahem, ahem. It seems that the choking has not eased yet, Xiaolan still has some cough, but I believe it will be relieved soon.

When I got ashore, I immediately swept around, but I didn't see Fair Sawaki. But we could hear a helicopter coming towards us in the distance. In an instant, I understood that Sawaki must have run to the top of the building and wanted to escape with the help of a helicopter.

"Officer Twilight! Sawaki should be on the tarmac on the top floor of that building, there's a helicopter flying over there!" I hurriedly shouted to the crowd. And everyone's eyes followed my point.

"Officer, I'll go up first!" Dad settled Xiaolan and ran up first.

"Mr. Shishido, you take Mr. Nishina to evacuate first. Officer Twilight arranged. "Mr. Ford, please help take care of Xiaolan and the children. What about the two children!" Twilight glanced down, only to find that the two children were long gone. When he looked up again, he saw two small figures following him. "Damn, you go and take refuge first, Shiratori, let's go up!"

"Yes. Without further ado, Shiratori and Officer Twilight followed, and we ran towards the top of the tower.

Sure enough, as soon as we reached the top floor, we saw Nana Koyamauchi and Sawaki, who was holding him hostage with a knife.

"Don't come here!" Seeing us running up, Sawaki also knew that he couldn't continue his play. So they spoke evil and threatened.

"Calm down, Mr. Sawaki!" Officer Twilight dissuaded. Now, there is no need for explanation, the dagger in his hand has said it all. (Actually, I could have written about solving the case, but I thought it was too boring, so I skipped it.) ）

"Don't come here, or I'll kill her!" said Sawaki, who was too scared to know what to do. Just struggling to stay as far away from the dagger as possible.

"Hurry up and let go of Miss Nana, or I'll shoot!" Officer Shiratori pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Sawaki. But looking at his trembling hands, I knew he wasn't a good gunman at all.

"Hah! that's interesting, you shoot and try it!" a frenzied Sawaki pushed Nana Koyamauchi forward. Blocked his body.

"Stop, Shiratori. Hmm......" The wound cracked, and Officer Twilight knelt down in pain.

"Police, are you alright?" Shiratori lowered his gun. Hurriedly helped Twilight.

"Hmm...... It's okay. Twilight said bitterly. "Mr. Sawaki, even if you call a helicopter, you can't leave, I advise you to release Miss Nana quickly!"

"Shut up! I'm going to take her to kill Hiroki Tsuji, who trampled on my dignity, and then kill this woman who made me lose my sense of taste! "Give me the gun!" Suddenly, Sawaki shouted. "Hurry up, throw the gun over!"

"Hey, Shiratori. Dad said solemnly. "Don't listen to him, give me the gun. ”

"Nani?" Shiratori seemed to read his father's thoughts. "How can I give you a gun!"

"What are you rubbing! Hurry up, give me the gun!" shouted Sawaki again.

"Okay, okay...... I'll give it to you, don't be impulsive. Due to his father's bad deeds, Shiratori did not hand over the gun to his father, but turned off the insurance and gently threw the gun out.

"Kiri...... saw the gun fall to the ground, and Sawaki pulled Nana to move forward slowly, only to find that Officer Shiratori and his father were ready to attack, waiting for him to show his flaws. So, he stopped. "Hey, the imp over there. Sawaki suddenly shouted. "You, the one with the glasses, bring me the gun. Sawaki's words stunned everyone.

"No, how can you let a child do such a dangerous thing!......" Officer Twilight yelled, but fell to his knees in pain.

However, Conan fixed his eyes after a brief silence and walked towards the pistol not far away. But before he could take two steps, a small hand put on his shoulder, and he was jerked to the ground, and then, a pale gold passed leisurely in front of him.

"Kaoru, you ......" Conan sat on the ground, and he seemed to understand what I was going to do.

"Now, Conan is too scared to stand up, can I pick it up for you?" I ignored Conan and shouted at Sawaki on the other side.

"All the same, bring the gun, little ghost!" Sawaki didn't have much confusion, because he was desperate to get the police gun now. and ignore any other small details.

"Good. I said indifferently with a blank face.

"Hey!!" Just as I was taking a step, Conan suddenly stopped me. I didn't look back, just stood there quietly and waited for him to finish. "Don't, don't kill him. Seeing my pause, Conan continued to speak in a voice that only I could hear, but the answer he received was a cold look and disdainful glance on my lips.

"Broken word, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me right now. My cold voice reached his ears.

"Kaoru ......" Conan's eyes were gloomy. He turned his head and didn't dare to look at me, his hands trembling tightly, but he didn't know how to answer my words. For a long time, Conan's slightly begging voice reached my ears: "Don't kill him. At least, not in front of me. I didn't froze for long, and I turned my gaze back to Sawaki, who was still yelling at me.

Walking slowly to the front of the pistol, I asked Sawaki. "Now, Mr. Sawaki, last time you were in the restaurant, you said you wanted to make me a drink, right?"

"Huh?" there was a hint of confusion on Sawaki's hideous face, he could not have imagined that this child would ask this question at this time. "Little ghost, where are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up and give me the gun!"

"With all due respect, Mr. Sawaki, there are only six bullets in this pistol. Even if you hit every shot, it's just enough to kill all of us here. And you just said that you will choose to commit suicide after killing Mr. Hiroki Tsuji next, so now, please do something for your last dignity as a sommelier before you die. I chuckled. "Tell me, apart from IceWine and ice wine, what do you think should be the most common thing I should drink?"

"What are you talking about, little ghost, don't give him the gun!" Nana, as a hostage, looked at my relaxed appearance and was already anxious. So he struggled and shouted.

"Stinky woman, shut up!" Although Sawaki was in a crazy mood now, his mood also changed a little as soon as he heard the words about the dignity of the sommelier, and the woman who caused him to lose his sense of taste was in his hands. And she was so restless, so she made a threat. "I'll kill you if you talk nonsense!" said him, and the dagger in Sawaki's hand stabbed slightly into Nana's neck. A small cut was made. Bright red blood flowed down Nana's slender neck, and Nana was so frightened that she didn't dare to struggle anymore.

"Hey, what a funny little ghost. Okay, I'll answer your question. A hideous smile appeared at the corner of Sawaki's mouth. "My answer is, what kind of ice wine do you stinky little devil drink! Just drink ice water honestly!Hahahahaha!" The face of the villain who gets the treasure alone can't help but be disgusting. However, I was only a few steps away from him, and I only raised my eyebrows slightly.

"Well...... That's a pretty good answer. With a hint of evil at the corner of my mouth, I picked up the police gun on the ground, opened the safety inadvertently, and then aimed the muzzle of the gun at Sawaki on the other side. "Well, that's the end of your show!" His eyes were no longer playful, and a sharp gaze swept towards Sawaki. The murderous aura around me erupted suddenly, locking directly on Sawaki in front of me. The cold murderous aura made Sawaki stagnate suddenly. The dagger in his hand also subconsciously moved away a little from Nana Yamauchi's neck.

Bang!!!

The sound of gunfire shook everyone's ears, and in the next second, scarlet blood sprayed out. The dagger in Sawaki's hand fell off instantly. "Good chance! Catch him!" Seeing this, Dad hurriedly rushed forward and pushed the injured Sawaki to the ground.

Yes, I didn't kill him, but at the moment when the murderous aura hit his consciousness, I aimed the muzzle of the gun at the elbow of Sawaki's right hand holding the dagger. It's also where the big tendons of his arm are, because of his height and the act of taking hostages, his elbow is exposed to Nana's body, and if he hits it there with a bullet, Sawaki's arm will be destroyed in an instant. The dagger in his hand will also fall off because the muscles and bones are broken. At the same time, the injured Sawaki will lose the ability to take hostages. So much so that his father, who had long been ready to go, could easily subdue him.

"Kaoru. Didn't you kill him, ......?" Conan looked at the pale golden back in a daze. Some couldn't believe it.

"Do you think I'm going to kill him in front of so many people on the grounds that his pistol has gone off?" I said dismissively. "Forget it, he's guilty enough to keep him in prison until he dies. Sooner or later, he will die, and I will not pursue him. "I'm generous. I then handed the gun back to Officer Shiratori.

"I just got off the rails, and I don't know how to get a bullet out. I pretended to be stupid.

"Whew...... I'm really lucky, if it gets mad at Miss Nana, it will be bad. Shiratori wiped the cold sweat from his head. "However, to be able to hit the elbow so smoothly, you kid, you are really too lucky. Shiratori smiled and rubbed my hair, then ran back to work.

"Che, what an uncaring cop. I shook my head, for I heard something unusual in his words, but he didn't delve into it, and I said no more. That's the end of this incident.

—————————— Detective Conan's Fourteenth Goal of the Theatrical Version Ends————————————

"Daddy, hurry up, you're going to be late. A few days later, Xiao Lan, dressed in a formal suit, urged her father, who was wearing a tie as he walked.

"Really, isn't it just a commentary, what does it matter if it's a little late. Dad was dissatisfied. However, the pace was accelerated.

Yes, because of the collapse of Asahi Katsuyoshi's casino, there was a big news in Japan, which caused the police to be obliged to explain the occurrence of this incident to everyone, and as a participant in the incident, my father must also participate in this event. And Xiaolan also understood the whole thing after the incident, and at the same time, under Conan's explanation, she understood the reason why her father shot back then, so Xiaolan, who regained confidence in her father, smiled a little more pretty at the moment.

"But is it really okay for you two to be at home on your own?" Dad looked back at us.

"Hmm~ We'll see Dr. Asasa later. Conan smirked.

"Well, don't mess with Dr. Asasa, his injuries haven't recovered yet. And the weather forecast says that there will be heavy rain in the afternoon, so pay more attention," Dad urged, and then left with Xiaolan.

"Whew...... Well, I'll go see Dr. Asa in a moment. What about you?" Conan relieved himself when his father left, and began to talk to me.

"I'm going to see my mom. As he spoke, he got dressed. Prepare to leave. "After the last gastric lavage, I don't know how she's recovering now. ”

"Well, well, then I won't pull you. Conan nodded thoughtfully. "But I really want to thank you, Kaoru. ”

"Hmm, thank me for what?" I looked back at Conan in the hallway.

"Thank you for not killing Sawaki. Conan said solemnly. "I'll admit, I lost that bet, and I won't bother with you in the future, because I really confirmed that you're not the kind of guy who kills people without blinking. I also believe that with you, the Dark Knight, there will be a lot of criminal gangs that will be defeated. ”

"Well, I don't think I'm that great. I shrugged my shoulders and said lightly. "Gone. With a smile on my lips, I left the room. And Conan let out a long breath as he looked at my departing back.

"The Dark Knight...... Is it?" the corners of Conan's mouth rose slightly. Turning his head, he looked out the window at the sun. It seems that I feel a strong warmth.

Shortly after I left, Conan also went out, and his destination was, of course, Dr. Asasa's home.

"Dr. Asasa, I've come to see you~" Conan shouted as he walked through the door.

"Oh, Shinichi. Inside, the doctor responded. "Sit down for a moment, and I'll finish this new invention in no time. Walking into the room, Conan saw Dr. Asa lying on the mobile bed frame, still wearing a protective mask and stabbing and welding to a model.

"I mean, a patient has to look like a patient. Conan said with a half-moon eye. "If you don't have a good rest, what kind of invention are you going to make. ”

"Oh, because I didn't finish it last time. So want to finish it. Dr. Asa pulled up his mask and smiled. "You can sit on the couch for a while. With that, Dr. Asasa threw himself back into his invention.

"It's really ......" Conan shook his head, sat down on the couch, turned on the TV, and counted the time. Uncle Maori's public meeting is about to begin. With a smile on his lips, Conan turned on the TV. I went to the channel. Sure enough, the public meeting has already begun. However, the expressions of Conan's uncle and Officer Twilight that he saw on TV were very solemn, and there seemed to be something unusual.

"Dusk Police Department, may I ask, regarding the explosion of Mr. Xu Shengyi's Ocean Casino, you said that you have caught the murderer, but on the way to escort the prisoner to the prison today, is it true that the prisoner was suddenly robbed and taken away?"

"Nani?!" Conan's eyes narrowed when he heard the message.

“...... Truly. After a long silence, Officer Twilight finally spoke. "On the way to escort him, the prisoner Sawaki was kidnapped by three unknown persons. However, our police solemnly promise that the prisoner will be found again within 24 hours!"

"Excuse me, is the person who robbed the prisoner related to this incident?"

"Officer, will there be a similar explosion, will the citizens be in danger?"

"Officer. Will similar killings ever happen? ”

Officer Twilight's remark caused an uproar, and all the reporters went crazy asking the officer, leaving both Dad and the Twilight Police Department at a loss.

"Robbed?" Conan turned off the TV and looked out the window, where the blue sky, which had been clear just now, was now covered with a layer of haze. Only then did Conan remember what his father said before leaving, that today's weather is changeable.

"No......" Conan was slightly worried in his heart, unable to resist his impulse. Finally made a phone call.

"Moses Moses, what's wrong Conan?" came my unscrupulous voice on the other end of the phone.

"Kaoru ......" Conan's expression was solemn. "You, where are you now?"

"Nonsense, what do you say? Of course it's my mother...... Here at Aunt Yingli. "I noticed a speech problem and immediately lowered my voice. "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, I just want to say hello to Aunt Yingli. Conan's words turned. And listened carefully to my surroundings, it was quiet. It should be in the room. "Well, can you let Auntie answer the phone?"

"Hey...... I want to say hello to my aunt, why don't you call me at home? "I wondered.

"That...... I don't have my aunt's phone, so please transfer it. Conan said stiffly.

"Cut, okay, wait a minute. With that, I took the phone away from my ear. "Aunt Yingli, it's Conan's call. ”

"Oh, is it?" On the other end of the phone, his mother's voice reached Conan's ears. "Moses, Moses, Conan?"

"Uh-huh! It's me, Auntie. After hearing his mother's voice, Conan's heart also relaxed slightly. "It's just that I couldn't go with Kaoru to see you today, so I wanted to greet you on the phone, Auntie, are you okay?"

"Ah, Auntie is much better. Thank you, Conan-kun. On the phone, my mother's voice said very softly.

"Well, that's good, sorry to disturb your rest. Conan said with a grin. "Well, then, you have to get some rest. ”

"Well, Auntie will. So...... Do you want to transfer the call to Kaoru-chan?"

"Okay, please. Conan smiled and muttered to himself. "Sure enough, did I think too much?hehe, too, how could it be, Kaoru is a dark knight!"

"Ahh I took the phone with a puzzled look on my face.

"No, nothing. Conan said hurriedly. "Sorry Kaoru excused me. You and Auntie continue to talk, I'll hang up first. After that, Conan hung up the phone, not giving me a chance to speak at all.

Hanging up the phone, Conan immediately dialed another phone number. Soon, a gentle female voice rang in his ears again.

"Moses, Moses, who?"

"Ahaha, Aunt Yingli, it's still me, Conan. Conan scratched his head and said embarrassedly. Yes, Conan dialed again, only this time it was from my mother's villa. "Because I just flipped through the number book and turned over this number, I called and tried it~" Conan said cutely.

"Alas~ you kid. Mom's voice was a little helpless. "Do you want to transfer it to Kaoru-chan?"

"Ah, please. Conan said cheekily.

“...... Conan, you're funny. Soon, my voice with utter dissatisfaction sounded again. "Why do you have to make two phone calls, don't you know the phone number of Aunt Yingli's house. ”

"Ha, it's nothing, it's nothing, you're just going to be funny with me. Hahaha. Conan smiled happily. "Then, you can talk to Auntie well, I'll hang up. Come back and invite you to dinner. Like last time, Conan hung up again.

"Really? I'm thinking too much. Seeing the dark clouds outside the window getting thicker and thicker, Conan did shake his head and laugh at himself. "Really, when did I get so suspicious. Without thinking too much, Conan turned on the sound of the TV and continued watching.

And the other side......

"Alas...... Conan, this kid, is obviously so strong at solving crimes, why does he look like an idiot in my eyes. The corners of my mouth hung with a touch of helplessness. There is also a little bit of banter. Mom's voice came out of my throat again. "Did he forget that I would still change my voice?" As he spoke, the banter in my eyes vanished, replaced by extreme coldness. Turning his head, the boy who was once sunny seemed to be possessed by a demon at this moment, and the murderous aura around him exuded endless cold, as if even people's hearts could be frozen.

"Hang me up!"

"Yes!"

Click!!!

Along with the words, a terrifying thunderclap sounded, as if the earth trembled. The demon that used to be in the depths of hell is now coming again under this dark cloud! )
