The unconscious Haihara was awakened by the first gunshot. Just as she was worried, another gunshot was heard. The two consecutive gunshots made her unable to help but think of the worst.
The faces of the friends she had made after she became small appeared in her mind one by one, and then they shattered into pieces one by one as if they had never existed.
The warm-hearted Dr. Agasa, the smug and show-off elementary school detective Conan Edogawa, the innocent and cute Ayumi Yoshida, the gluttonous Genta Kojima, and Mitsuhiko Tsutani who liked to pretend to be mature.
There was also Ye Ling, who had appeared suspiciously recently, but he couldn't pinpoint what was suspicious about her...
" Why am I crying again…" Xiao Ai felt so useless. The people around her were dying one after another, and there was nothing she could do. Just now, she heard Bu Mei's scream again.
The treasure must have been found, and Master Man and the noble young master were going on a massacre. Bu Mei was killed, and the others couldn't escape. In the end, he would also be killed...
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't die in the hands of the organization in the end. How sad.”
" That's why I don't believe in fairy tales. How can there be so many lucky things in the world…"
……
"Pa da!" The door opened and a black figure walked into the dark room.
Xiao Ai closed her eyes and prepared to accept her death. Perhaps it was a good choice to leave this world as soon as possible.
The lights lit up, and the sound of footsteps approached. She emptied her mind and waited for death to arrive.
"You are injured." Suddenly, that person spoke.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Ai suddenly opened her eyes. What greeted her eyes was not Old Man or the noble young master, but Ye Ling's face. He squatted in front of her and gently held his head with both hands, checking the injury on his head.
Looking at the face in front of her and feeling Ye Ling's gentle movements, Xiao Ai felt like she was dreaming. It was as if her soul had left her body and she could not react for a long time. Why him? Why did he come to save me?
Ye Ling removed the tape on Xiao Ai's mouth and untied the rope on Xiao Ai's body. Seeing that Xiao Ai was still stunned and did not respond, she said,"You're safe now. You're injured. Although it's not very serious, it's better to go to the hospital for a check-up.”In fact, he had already checked with his spiritual will and confirmed that Xiao Ai's injuries were not serious.
Xiao Ai finally came back to her senses. She was in disbelief." But, the gunshot just now.”
"Oh, that." Ye Ling replied," Mamiya shot at us to threaten us. No one was shot."”
"What about the second gunshot?"
"It was Mamiya who shot me. He wanted to kill me, but he didn't succeed. Instead, he accidentally killed Mamiya Man.”Ye Ling explained.
"But I heard Bu Mei scream.”
"The criminal fired in front of her, so of course she screamed in fear.”
Xiao Ai revealed a bitter smile. It turned out that she had been too pessimistic from the beginning. She looked up at Ye Ling and asked in confusion,""You, why did you save me?"
Ye Ling was amused by her. She couldn't help but squat down and touch Xiao Ai's hair again. Of course, she didn't touch the wound on Xiao Ai's head. "What are you talking about? Why can't I save you?"
Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment and found herself speechless.
"Alright, can you walk? Let's go to the great madam's room first. The doctor and the children are all worried about you.”Ye Ling reminded him. He stood up and was about to walk out of the door when Xiao Ai reached out and stopped him.
"Wait!"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Ling turned around and asked.
Xiao Ai looked at Ye Ling with her tear-stained eyes and asked,""Can you tell me who you are?”Compared to before, there was no trace of wariness or resistance in Xiao 'ai's eyes. Her eyes were very clean, like glass.
"My name is Ye Ling. We are not enemies.”Ye Ling replied.
……
Ye Ling brought Xiao Ai to the great madam's room. Mamiya Man's corpse was still lying there. Noble Mamiya and the great madam were tied up with ropes. Bu Mei almost cried tears of joy when she saw Xiao Ai." That's great! Haihara-san, you're fine!"
She ran over and hugged Xiao Ai excitedly. Genta and Kazuhiko were also sincerely happy.
Realizing that everyone was concerned about her, Xiao Ai felt warm in her heart and could not help but smile.
"Eh? Xiao Ai, you're injured." Because of his height, the doctor could see that Xiao Ai had an injury on her head. After the doctor's reminder, the children realized that Xiao Ai's brown hair was stained with blood.
"Ah! You're bleeding!" Bu Mei immediately tensed up.
"How did you get injured?" Genta asked.
"Someone hit me with the butt of a gun," Xiao Ai explained.”
"It must be very painful, right?"
"It hurts a little, but it doesn't matter.”Xiao Ai said calmly.
Conan was a little speechless. Another person who was so calm. Hmm? Strange, why did I say again?
……
Soon, the police arrived at the castle, and Police Chief Megami brought his men upstairs. His movements seemed to be a little slow, probably because he had not fully recovered from the arrow shot by Zawaki Gongping.
At first, the doctor called the police because the fake Mrs. Hunt and the real Mrs. Hunt were killed many years ago, and Haihara went missing mysteriously. However, when the police arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find one dead and two injured.
"This! Gunshots? What happened?" Police Chief Megami asked in shock.
Genta and Kazuhiko scrambled to answer,""Brother Ye Ling defeated the criminal!”
"That's right! Brother Ye Ling threw him over his shoulder, and Old Man Man was killed!”
"Something's wrong! Old Man Man was killed by the noble young master's gun.”
Listening to the children's replies, Police Chief Mu Mu suddenly felt a headache. However, he understood one thing, and that was that Master Man's death was related to Ye Ling. "Ye Ling! What happened?"
Ye Ling was a little powerless to complain about the children's answers. She could only explain herself,""At that time, Mamiya threatened us with a gun in front of us, and Mamiya Man held me hostage with a gun behind my back. When Mamiya Man was unprepared, I broke his arm and threw him out as a weapon. I didn't expect Mamiya to shoot and kill Mamiya Man.”
Police Chief Mu Mu was dumbfounded.
Detective Takagi was in awe. He could even imagine how thrilling the scene was.
Seeing that the police were silent, Ye Ling coughed twice and added innocently,""I had to deal with two armed criminals in the blink of an eye. Using one of them to smash the other was the most direct way. If I defeat Mamiya Mitsuya and then deal with Mamiya Nobleman, I won't have enough time. I'm doing this to save my life…"
Police Chief Mu Mu thought about it and it seemed to be the case. Other than Ye Ling, everyone present was the elderly, women, and children. One person had to use one of the criminals as a shield to deal with two armed criminals.
" I understand. This is self-defense…"
