Night. 8:30. Rice flower 3-chome. Warehouse area.

"Miss Maya, you said that the prisoner's base is in ...... Hmm? Miss Maya?"

When Maori turned around, he found that the woman who was following him was gone.

[Could it be that I'm walking too fast?]

However, Maori, who was in doubt, did not realize that on the beam directly above him, a ghostly shadow was smiling at him.

A steel wire slowly hung down from the cantilever and landed in front of his neck, just waiting for him to walk in slowly. Like a spider silk glittering with slime, with a chilling malice, it wrapped around him little by little, waiting for the moment when he was preded......

On the other side, several people who had changed their name from the "Memory Search Squad" to the "Maori Search Squad" finally arrived in the warehouse area.

[It's close!It's here!Damn!We've got to catch up!]

Conan reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignoring his aching throat from wheezing, and continued to grit his teeth and run forward.

He had never been so eager to see Maori's stubble face, his smug and silly smile. Aside from Xiaolan, although he was very reluctant to admit it, but after so many years of growing up, this sloppy uncle, who was sometimes funny and sometimes wise, had already become one of the indispensable people in his life, and he definitely didn't want to lose him like this!

He was so glad that he had accidentally glued him to Maori's sleeve while researching the button tracker that Dr. Asa had given him. Unexpectedly, this small accident turned out to be a beacon in the darkness at this moment, so that they would not run around like headless flies. Otherwise, by the time they found him, it was estimated that he would already be a cold corpse.

"Alright, right ahead—"

However, when Conan said this, he was shocked to find that a huge black shadow blocked his way.

The two-story warehouse of the tin shed seemed to have suddenly appeared, and it was so wanton in front of his eyes.

However, the signal to track the gross profit shown on the glasses is obviously a little further down in the warehouse.

"Damn, this road doesn't work!Is there any other ......?"

Conan couldn't help but turn his head anxiously, trying to search for a possible way around here.

However, before he could use his child's limited vision to search for a way to bypass, a white figure had already flashed past him, not only did not stop, but sped up!

"Ah, Sakura-san, wait a minute, over there-"

"Boom!"

Before Conan could finish speaking, with a loud "bang", the iron warehouse door finally fell silently with a full of unwillingness after a few groans that he thought could still be saved.

"Huh, what did you just say, Conan?"

Withdrawing the foot, the white figure fell back to the ground very lightly. Sakura rubbed the rust on the soles of her shoes on the ground, then turned back to look at Conan, who looked confused.

"No, it's nothing......" Conan just shook his head mechanically, like a rattle.

"Then let's go and go straight through!" Sakura said as she said a word, and rushed in without looking back.

"Don't worry about Conan, Sakura is just saving people," Seeing Conan's frightened appearance, Xia Fan behind him couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, "Don't look at her as if she is very vigorous and irritable, she is a very gentle person on weekdays." ”

"Well, I know......" Conan just nodded stiffly, then swallowed.

This girl looks like Xiaolan...... No, it should be said that it is an enhanced version of Xiaolan!

Conan suddenly had a very painful thought, why is he an intellectual hero, but the people around him are all breakthrough heroes? Xiaolan, Eagle Arrow, and now there is Sakura, after being with them for a long time, he may not be able to think, right?

"Time is pressing, Conan, let's hurry up and keep up!"

Xia Fan's voice interrupted Conan, who was thinking nonsense, and he couldn't help but come back to his senses and rush in with Xia Fan's footsteps.

It's a warehouse full of sporting goods.

Basketballs, footballs, tennis, and bows and arrows for archery are all neatly arranged there.

However, everyone's eyes were obviously not on these things, but through the glass window on the back wall of the warehouse, and projected onto the abandoned warehouse behind it, a figure that seemed to be hanging in the air by something, struggling in pain!

"Uncle Maori!" all three exclaimed.

Isn't that the one who is now dying in pain is the detective Mori Kogoro they have been looking for for a long time?

It's just that, looking at this posture, as long as it's a little later, the sleeping Kogoro may become the eternal Kogoro!

"Click!"

Sakura, who was running ahead, took the lead, kicked the glass window to pieces with a flying kick, and then quickly rushed towards Maori.

[No, she's too late!]

However, although Sakura's movements are neat, the Mori over there can't stand the wait.

His eyes had begun to roll and his struggle was getting smaller and smaller, the pressure on his neck had starved his brain of oxygen, his consciousness had begun to blur, and in a few seconds, his soul would be out of his body and go to see God and his old man.

[Damn!Uncle Maori, hold on!]

Conan crouched down and spun the button on his booster shoe, ready to kick off something that was hanging on Maori with a soccer flak cannon.

However, just as he was about to turn around to get the football, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl beside him who had picked up the longbow and feathered arrows on the side, and effortlessly filled the longbow that was about half a person's height with her, and her hands did not tremble at all. The blue eyes were fixed on the arrow, calm, focused, but sharp, with a hint of unstoppable edge.

The moonlight poured down on her through the window, covering her with a holy silver veil, like a person reflected in a painting.

Conan couldn't help but be stunned, and at that moment, he couldn't help but think of a legend he had read in books, from the goddess of the moon and hunting in Greek mythology, Artemis.

"Whoosh!"

A worm-like sound broke through the air, the bowstring flicked, and the feather arrow came out of the string, like a streamer!

"Whoa!"

With a crisp sound, the tightrope of fate that locked Maori's throat broke in response!

"What?"

The figure on the beam didn't hold back his strength for a while, and quickly lowered his body to hold the beam, so that he didn't fall off the beam.

"Boom!"

Maori fell out of the air and slammed into the ground. However, those pains did not make him uncomfortable, but made his already drowsy consciousness begin to wake up again, and desperately began to tear the tightrope wrapped around his neck, inhaling some breath of life!

"That's ...... Feather arrows?"

Looking at the arrows stuck in the roof, the feathers of the tail of the arrows still trembling, she couldn't help but turn her head, and through the glass window, she saw the appearance of the ponytail girl standing in the broken window, holding a bow.

"The little girl who helped me find my memories before, I didn't expect to have such power...... Still, it can't stop me!"

The man sneered, removed the heel of a high heel, and pressed a small button on the connecting surface.

"Whew!" a clear sound sounded, and an incomparably sharp steel cone instantly ejected from the already tall heel.

"Goodbye, detective!"

With that, she clenched her heel and leapt off the beam, stabbing her hard at Maori's heart.

No matter how accurate that girl's arrow is, it is impossible to replace it at this moment, let alone shoot herself as she falls rapidly!

Her idea was right, even if Xia Fan could quickly catch an arrow, it would be absolutely impossible to shoot down the awl in her hand. However, she forgot that Xia Fan was not the only one who helped her find her memories before!

"Whoa!"

Maori's white shirt, which had not been changed for 10,000 years, had a long cut open, and the pores of the exposed part of the skin were erected because of the cold touch, and there was a faint trace of blood. But fortunately, it's just blood.

"What?"

Just when Maori's heart was only a few centimeters in the tip of the awl, and it only took a few tenths of a second to be able to splatter blood on the spot, a white figure flew up in the air, and kicked straight on her arm holding the murder weapon with great speed!

"Bang!" the awl came out of its hand uncontrollably and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Little girl!"

The high heels made a piercing sound on the ground, Tachibana Maya forcibly stopped the body that flew out upside down, glanced at the heroic girl's eyes full of justice, couldn't help but sneer, and then grabbed her foot and threw her out hard!

Although what she didn't expect was that the few little girls who had just helped her find her memories still had such skills, but after all, they were only a few middle school students, and at most it would take some time, and they couldn't stop themselves from completing the task.

Thinking so, Tachibana Maya took off the other heel as well, pressed the awl and held it in his hand, and stared at the girl coldly.

However, Sakura, who was thrown out, did not panic in the slightest, just turned over in the air lightly, adjusted her body, and took the opportunity to kick the beam, and then used that force again, and kicked towards Tachibana Maya.

[Naïve...... After all, it's just a junior high school student......]

Looking at the girl who continued to rush towards her fearlessly like a newborn calf, Tachibana Maya held the awl in front of her eyes and sneered.

Don't think that after practicing martial arts for a few days, you can learn to be chivalrous and righteous. You know, a kid with a machine gun can easily take out a strongman with his bare hands. In the fight between life and death, whoever has a weapon in his hand is the one who decides his fate!

Today, she is going to teach this lovely girl a lesson. Probably this will be the last lesson of her life!

Looking at Sakura-chan who kicked her, Tachibana did not dodge or dodge, but stepped forward, ready to dodge her kick sideways, and then drew beautiful blood marks one after another on her young and elastic, fair and smooth skin.

Let the little girl experience in advance, what kind of taste is it like to have time like a knife!

However, she thought that Sakura's bravery and decisiveness were not due to stupidity or ignorance, but out of trust.

Yes, it is a tacit understanding formed in countless battles side by side, and the absolute trust that can completely entrust the back!

[Well, the back?]

At this moment, Tachibana Maya's keen senses as a killer suddenly sensed a fierce wind coming from behind her ears. Her hair was curled, pressed against her cheeks, cut through her sleeves, and hit the awl in her hand straight away!

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound of gold and iron handover, Tachibana Maya only felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth, although he didn't let the awl out of his hand because of his instinctive clenching, but he couldn't help but be led astray by that moment, causing his door to open wide for a while.

[Another little girl?]

That familiar feeling, even if you don't have to see it clearly, you know that it was a feather arrow shot by another little girl.

Although I had thought that the little girl would definitely come to hinder herself again, I just didn't expect her to have such accurate archery skills!

"There!" Sakura naturally didn't let go of this opportunity that Xia Fan had specially created for herself, and kicked the tendon junction on the back of Tachibana Maya's right hand holding the awl. Although she has not experienced this kind of life-and-death struggle much as the real night said, no matter which school of martial arts she has, she should have taught the same truth, that is, shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves and capture kings first. When you start fighting, you must find a way to shoot down the opponent's weapon first!

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the pain and unbearable soreness spread from the place where she was kicked in an instant, coupled with the impact of that kick, it actually made her entire right hand paralyzed for a while, and even her body couldn't stand a few steps backwards. Not to mention the awl in my hand, which had already fallen to the ground and clanged.

Compared to her embarrassment, Sakura is much more elegant, just falling lightly, kneeling on one knee, watching her vigilantly.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

And just as they were in the middle of their move, Conan finally ran to Maori's side and helped him loosen the tightrope around his neck.

"Whew!" Breathing in fresh air again, Maori took a long breath like a man rescued from drowning.

"Conan, you take Uncle Maori away first!" At this time, Xia Fan finally ran over with a bow and arrow, and said to Conan, who was trying to help Maori up over there, "Sister Xiaolan should be coming soon after reporting to the police!

"I see!" Conan nodded involuntarily.

Conan, who has seen the two of them leave, also knows that this is not a hypocritical time, and it will only be a burden for him and Maori, who is in this state now, to continue to stay here, and it is the wisest choice to take his uncle to meet Xiaolan first!

"Looks like I'm being underestimated......"

At this moment, Tachibana Maya rubbed his numb right arm and stood up with a sneer.

Although she really didn't expect that the cooperation between these two little girls could reach such a tacit understanding, the pressure brought to her was indeed more than 1+1 equals 2. However, as I said before, after all, they are just two children, and they can't be fierce and decisive when they start, and they don't dare to face blood, even if they have accurate archery skills, they try to just shoot down weapons. Otherwise, if you just hit your head or heart directly, there won't be so many things. And this is her breakthrough point!

Thinking of this, Maya couldn't help but show a faint smile and reached out to touch his earrings.

In the next second, the smile instantly became hideous, and Tachibana Maya actually ripped off the earring, and then used it as a dart, and turned around and threw it at Maori, who was staggering and about to walk outside!

"Uncle Maori, be careful!"

Xia Fan couldn't help shouting, and at the same time, he instinctively took the feather arrow, and pulled the bowstring while running to the side.

I don't know what those earrings are, but they're certainly not a good thing!

"Hmph, hooked!"

A hideous smile appeared on the corner of Tachibana Maya's mouth, and he turned around in an instant, and then rushed towards Xia Fan, who was holding a bow!

"W-"

Xia Fan's fingers holding the bowstring were about to loosen, but for no reason, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but immediately want to turn the arrow back. However, the moment he turned back, it was Maya's head that was on the side!

At that moment, Xia Fan's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then instinctively moved the arrow away!

"Whoosh!" the arrow swiped against Tachibana Maya's cheek, bringing up a faint trace of blood, but it made Tachibana Maya's smile more and more hideous.

Because, she made the right bet!

"Bang!"

A punch with a strong wind pierced Xia Fan's soft abdomen, making her whole body arch! At that moment, Xia Fan's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make any sound.

"Heroes aren't that easy, little girl. ”

Tachibana whispered softly in her ear, and then chuckled and drew his fist, letting her petite body slowly slide down against her body.

"Xia Fan!" Sakura, who had just pulled Maori apart, couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw this scene, and rushed towards her with a loud roar.

However, after losing her composure, her fist became very straight, and Geng was able to dodge easily without any prediction.

"In battle, you can't lose your cool by losing anything. ”

Slightly sideways, easily dodging Sakura's punch, Tachibana Maya looked at the girl who looked like a fried lion, and said with a smile.

"What did you say?"

However, before Sakura could come to her senses, Tachibana Maya had already grabbed the arm she punched with. With a crisp "click", Sakura felt a pain in her shoulder, and her entire shoulder joint had been removed by her.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably be lying on the ground in pain at this time. But Sakura is Sakura after all, and even though her sore forehead is sweating, she immediately turns around, spun her foot and kicks it towards Tachibana Maya behind her.

"I said, this is not a child's game......" However, Tachibana Maya just smiled and let go of her hand, dodging Sakura's backspin kick, and at the same time flew up and kicked her in the lower abdomen, and said coldly, "Little girl, don't do such a dangerous thing!

"Hmm!"

The force of that heavy kick was definitely not small, and it directly kicked Sakura out and slammed it on the ground, causing a hot pain in her back and lower abdomen.

However, this was not the worst, the force of that kick passed through the weak lower abdomen directly into her abdominal cavity, hitting her internal organs. At that moment, Sakura felt her internal organs shift, and an indescribable pain came from the depths of her internal organs, instantly draining all her strength. In comparison, the pain of that kick was negligible.

"Now, you understand, little girl, you can't do anything!"

Saying this, Tachibana Maya couldn't help but walk in front of Sakura, squatted in front of her, and said with a sneer.

"Hmm......"

Sakura struggled to get up, but even though she tried her best, all she could do was lift her head.

Looking at the condescending appearance of the real night, listening to her cold words, the blurred vision evoked the memories of the past, the denied, the taken away, those who wanted to protect, and the scenes resurfaced in front of her eyes.

[Hey, old man, whether you can pay this month's rent or not, if you don't pay, you will have to recycle your dojo!]

[You must not be able to pay it, look at the deserted appearance of this dojo, and then look at this sick old man, where else will anyone come!]

[Obedient Sakura, you're just a little kid and can't do anything!]

[You girl, just go to school obediently and have fun with your friends. 】

No, I don't, I'm not a kid anymore......

Even if it's a girl, I can take care of the dojo...... Guard, my friend......

So...... I'm going to get stronger...... I'm definitely going to ...... Get stronger!

Sakura gritted her teeth and forced her strength out of her viscera that was trembling with pain, struggling to prop herself up.

"Oh, are you still struggling?" Looking at the girl in front of her who was still stubbornly struggling, Tachibana Maya was a little curious, "It's not good to be a sensible and good child, isn't it? Let the big sister teach you how to be a good child!"

"I think you might have a misunderstanding about good kids!"

"Whoosh!"

At this time, a childish voice came from behind her, and before she could turn around, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back, and the whole person flew up directly from the spot as if she had been hit by a riot bomb.

"What...... Tachibana felt that she had gained too much surprise tonight, but when she turned her head vigorously to look at the object that had knocked her away, she couldn't help but be taken aback, "This is ...... Soccer? How, who is it?"

"Sakura-chan!" Conan shouted after that kick.

The opportunity was not to be missed, Sakura also gritted her teeth, and took advantage of this opportunity to push her left hand to the ground, using the palm as a point, and threw out a kick with all her remaining strength, and smashed straight into the hattori of Tachibana Maya who was in mid-air, kicking her out!

"Bang!" With a dull sound, Tachibana Maya slammed into the steel beam supporting the warehouse, and the force of the two impacts in front and back also had a big impact on her internal organs. At this moment, she probably also experienced Sakura's feelings before.

"Ahem...... Obviously, it's just a few...... Child...... That's it!"

Tachibana Maya's trembling legs barely supported the weight of her body, as if she wanted to stand up strongly.

"Ding!" At that moment, a sharp feather arrow pierced her collar and pulled and pinned her whole body to the steel beam.

"So...... It's never good to underestimate the power of a child!"

Saying this, Xia Fan couldn't help but gasp and walked up to Tachibana Maya, slammed the feather arrow to the side, and then let go of his hand.

"Smack!" The resilient arrow bounced back and slammed into Tachibana's face, knocking her out completely.

"Whew-" Seeing that she was completely unconscious, Xia Fan couldn't help but feel that her legs were weak, and she sat down directly on the ground.

"Sister Xia Fan, Sister Sakura, are you all right?"

Conan couldn't help but trot over and pick up the scarred Sakura.

"I'm fine...... Xia Fan took a deep breath, shook his head, and wanted to stand up with his longbow supporting his body, but found that his hands and feet were trembling, and he couldn't stand up.

The moment when I rushed up directly in the real night just now, the moment when I directly faced her arrow with my face, I was a little scared when I think about it now.

Because she almost let go just now! If she hadn't turned the arrow in time, she would probably have ......

Thinking of the scene of the arrow passing through the person's head, Xia Fan felt chills all over her body, a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, and even the longbow in her hand seemed to become a little hot, so she couldn't help but want to throw it away.

But, after all, it was a partner who had been with him for so many years, and Xia Fan still didn't throw it away after all, and then turned his head and asked, "Where is Sakura?"

"Ah, it's okay," Sakura stood up with Conan's support, "it's just a dislocated arm......"

"Conan, didn't you help Uncle Maori out, and Uncle Maori?"

"Ah, my uncle is resting outside, I really can't help him, and I can't help him, so I came back. ”

"Fortunately, you're back," Xia Fan couldn't help but let out a sigh, "Otherwise, it's really ......"

She still felt a little scared, if it wasn't for Conan's ball, Sakura would probably have ......

"By the way, Conan, did you really kick that ball just now?" Sakura couldn't help but look curiously at the little boy who had just reached her waist, and it didn't look like she was born with divine powers.

"Ah, this, Dr. Asasa...... Well, it was an inventor I knew who invented a pair of shoes that would strengthen my feet, so I could kick a ball like that!" Conan explained to Sakura with a smile.

"yes, there's such a thing......"

"But then again, Sakura-san, doesn't your arm really matter?" said Conan, looking at Sakura's drooping arm.

"Ah, it's okay, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I've long been used to it. Although it looks scary, Sakura doesn't really seem to feel anything, "As long as I get home, someone can help me get my bones back." ”

"Ahaha...... Is it......" Those words of understatement were unimaginable pain and hardship for Conan. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of reason could support this girl all the way through such hard training.

"Sister Xia Fan, are you still standing up?" Seeing that Xia Fan had been sitting on the ground, Conan couldn't help but say with concern.

"Hmph, I'm not ashamed enough to need elementary school students to care!"

As if he was angry with himself, Xia Fan puffed out his mouth, forcibly stabilized his trembling feet, and stood up with a longbow support.

"Well, in fact, you don't need to ......" Seeing Xia Fan's cute appearance, Conan couldn't help but want to laugh a little, this face-loving appearance is simply a mold from a certain stinky fart.

"Let's take a rest here first, I just contacted Sister Xiaolan, she is already in the police car, and she will be there soon-"

"Bang!"

However, just as Conan said this, behind this warehouse, in another warehouse, there was a sudden dull loud noise, as if something had hit something, faintly accompanied by a faint moan of pain.

"What's going on?" the three of them looked at each other, and they all ran towards the warehouse.

However, the scene that greeted the three of them was completely unexpected, it was not what they imagined someone to be kidnapped or beaten by bad guys, on the contrary, the guy who was beating others was still a "good person" in a sense.

[Why is he (that guy) here?, and who is the man wearing the ghost mask?]

The three of them just watched the black figure beat the other side violently, and then pressed it to the ground.

However, those who are watching this battle don't seem to know that they are just the three of them.

"That's?"

The sharp-eyed Xia Fan instantly saw the black shadow that was about to move in the darkness, and the muzzle of the gun that was so black and shiny in the moonlight.

"Danger!"

She couldn't help but scream, and the feather arrow came out of her hand!
