Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 537: Acting cute is shameful! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

In the luxurious hotel plaza, the sun was pouring down, and it should have been a peaceful scene. However, a sudden incident instantly broke the tranquility.

"Dad, are you okay?!"

Seeing Kogoro Maori slid to the side in an extremely embarrassing manner, his movements were so funny that he looked like a dog chewing mud, and he barely avoided the car that rushed towards him like a beast. At this moment, Maori Kogoro was grimacing in pain, and his facial features were twisted together in pain. Maori Ran couldn't help but pursed her pink lips, and rushed over like an arrow from a bow, and steadily helped her father up from the ground.

"It hurts!"

Kogoro Mouri struggled to sit up with great difficulty, and the piercing pain was unbearable. He couldn't help but let out a pig-slaughtering scream, his voice full of pain and anger.

At this moment, his heart was like a lit powder keg, filled with resentment and doubt.

Damn it, who on earth was that guy driving the car? Why did he do such a cruel thing to a detective like him?
Could it be that the vehicle suddenly broke down or lost control? But recalling how the other party nimbly moved through the traffic and controlled the steering wheel with ease, it didn't look like an accident at all.

Wait... Could it be that the other party is an accomplice of Yuda? Or is it Yuda himself who has been lying in wait for a long time and carefully planned for this moment, wanting to kill him in revenge for being arrested?
"Dad, are you hurt?"

Mao Lilan held Mao Li Kogoro's right arm tightly, her beautiful eyes full of worry and concern, as if she could share some of her father's pain. She anxiously asked about her father's condition, with a trembling tone in her voice, "Also, what is going on? Do you know what's going on?"

She racked her brains, her thoughts were a tangled mess, but she couldn't figure out why the driver would launch such a terrible attack on her father.

"What's going on here?"

At the entrance of the hotel, the incident happened too suddenly, like a heavy bomb exploding in the crowd, instantly attracting countless eyes. The guests who came to check in were like being frozen, stopping their hurried steps and standing at the entrance, their eyes all focused on Maori Kogoro and his daughter sitting on the ground, and Maori Ran who was anxiously supporting Maori Kogoro, everyone's eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

"That's right, what exactly happened here just now?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask loudly.

"What's going on? Why did the driver hit this person? Do you know?" One person nudged his companion and asked anxiously, his eyes full of eagerness to know the truth.

"How would I know? Does any of you know?" Responses came one after another in the crowd. Everyone looked at each other, all of them with a bewildered look on their faces, and confusion in their eyes.

After listening to everyone's discussion, Mao Lilan once again looked at Mao Li Kogoro, with a tone full of doubt, and asked anxiously: "Dad, think about it, what is going on? Do you know why the driver wanted to hit you?"

Hearing Mao Lilan's question, Mao Li Kogoro looked solemn, his face as cold as a thousand-year-old iron. After a moment, he seemed to have figured out some key clues. He took a deep breath, slowly spoke, and said in a firm tone: "I understand!"

As he spoke, he turned around abruptly, his eyes sharp as torches, and stared straight at Maya Tachibana, who was also in shock and kneeling on the ground, "Ms. Maya Tachibana, that car is coming for you!"

"what?"

Hearing the words of Kogoro Mouri, Mayo Tachibana seemed to be frozen, her whole body stiffened in place, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

"You must have lost your relevant memories because you were attacked and frightened, right?"

Maori Kogoro stretched his right hand, bent his right knee slightly, and stretched his left leg straight. He maintained a serious posture and spoke to Tachibana Maya seriously. There was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes, trying to find more clues from Tachibana Maya's reaction.

At first, Mao Lilan looked like a little follower, with a serious face, following her father's gaze closely and looking at Tachibana Maya, expecting to find some clues to the truth from this.

However, in the next second, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and Mao Lilan slapped her head hard, making a crisp "snap" sound. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that something was missing around her.

Mao Lilan was startled for a moment, with a puzzled look on her face. Then, out of instinct, her eyes instantly became sharp, like a beam of searchlights sweeping through the crowd frantically. Anxiety and worry gradually emerged in her eyes, and she asked anxiously: "Wait... something's wrong, Dad? Where is Conan and the others?"

Mao Lilan's voice rose unconsciously, with uncontrollable panic and uneasiness.

What happened? Where did her childhood sweetheart who had shrunk to a smaller size go?

Although on normal days, the other party would often "let go" and rush to investigate as soon as they smelled the scent of a case.

But the situation today was completely different. After just experiencing such a thrilling scene, at this tense and dangerous moment, Conan's sudden disappearance was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mouri Ran's heart hard, making her heart hang high in the air in an instant, and the whole person was shrouded in a cloud of uneasiness.

Maori Kogoro was awakened from his dream, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He also quickly looked around, desperately searching in the dense crowd, but there was no trace of Conan's little figure.

"Could this little devil have been dispersed by the chaos just now?"

Kogoro Maori muttered to himself, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was full of worry.

Bai Ye, who had been standing quietly by, as if standing aside but secretly observing everything, raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, Conan, that little guy, seems to have run after the car..."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bombshell exploded between Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran. The two were instantly shocked, and the expressions on their faces froze instantly, as if time had stopped. They exclaimed in unison: "What did you say?"

Kogoro Mori felt his heart suddenly shrink, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible and cold hand, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He knew very well that although Conan was smart and quick-witted, he was just a child after all. Facing those vicious and ruthless criminals, he could fall into an irretrievable dangerous situation at any time.

"How could this brat be so reckless!" He cursed under his breath while preparing to run after Conan.

His steps were hurried and flustered, and he wished he could fly to Conan immediately.

Mao Lilan was also a little worried about the safety of a little kid, "Dad, we have to find Conan quickly, it's too dangerous for him to be alone!"

After all, her childhood sweetheart is now only a child of six or seven years old, and the driver is a cruel person who dares to drive a car and hit people in public. No one can guarantee what kind of danger Conan will encounter during the pursuit.

Bai Ye saw this, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "I'll go too. One more person means more strength. Maybe we can find Conan faster."

"it is good!"

The three of them quickly chased in the direction Bai Ye pointed.

Along the way, Maori Kogoro was extremely anxious, and scenes of Conan being in danger kept appearing in his mind. His heart was beating like a drum, and every beat hit his chest hard.

He secretly blamed himself for being careless. Why didn't he keep an eye on Conan? Self-blame and worry intertwined in his heart, making him more anxious. Sweat kept coming out from his forehead, soaking his temples.

They ran along the street, searching every corner.

Suddenly, Mao Lilan saw a familiar figure flash past the corner in the distance.

She quickly pointed in that direction and shouted, "Dad, look, that person looks like Conan!"

Bai Ye and Maori Kogoro looked at each other and said, "Yes, it's him. Let's chase him!"

"Um……"

The three of them sped up and rushed towards the corner...

……

Conan, like a hound locking onto its prey, followed the red car closely, dashing left and right in the intricate alleys.

While running, Conan's thoughts were like rapidly turning gears. He thought to himself, "There are many one-way streets and no-travel roads in this area. The car must have encountered many obstacles. I may have a chance to catch up!"

This thought flashed through his mind, and Conan's legs swung faster and faster, as fast as a rapidly rotating propeller, his feet took turns, each step firmly on the ground, bursting out endless power. At this moment, his face was tense, his expression was solemn and focused, and he devoted himself to the chase, not missing any opportunity to close the distance with the car.

"The driver's eyes were cold and greedy. He always regarded Maya Tachibana as a prey to be slaughtered. But Miss Maya Tachibana is not only able to keenly predict danger, but also so agile. Who is she?"

Conan's heart was filled with doubts. These questions were like a thick fog, constantly surging and circling in his mind, but he could never find the answers.

On a one-way street not far in front of him, the red car, like a mad beast, violently rammed into a green car that was driving steadily along the designated route.

On a narrow one-way street, the red car, like a mad beast, without any warning, launched the most violent collision towards a green car that was driving smoothly and orderly along the prescribed route.

In an instant, the huge impact force was like a surging wave, shaking the surrounding air violently. The harsh sound of metal colliding with each other was like a sharp alarm, breaking the originally relatively quiet atmosphere and echoing in the surroundings for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, the red car rushed forward for a distance under the huge inertia.

Just when it was about to reach the alley entrance, it suddenly braked and then rushed towards the wall on the right regardless of everything.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking bricks and stones, the red car broke through the wall and disappeared from Conan's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! It actually got away!"

Conan looked at the direction the car fled, his eyes full of unwillingness. Anger and regret surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

“Drip… drip…”

At this moment, Conan's sharp ears instantly caught the sound of a police siren coming from the other direction on the right. The sharp and rapid sound, like lightning that cuts through the night sky, came clearly into his ears again and again. Conan quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw that not far away, a car accident scene had been surrounded by police, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed particularly tense and serious.

The intersection was now surrounded by police, firefighters moving cars, ambulances with warning lights flashing, and other emergency vehicles. A large crowd of onlookers also gathered outside the cordon, craning their necks and staring intently at the accident scene. Everyone in the crowd was gesturing with their fingers and talking enthusiastically.

Conan frowned and decided to go and see what was going on.

Before he ran to the scene of the accident, he heard the discussion of the crowd nearby. A girl looked puzzled and asked the man next to her: "What happened? How could it crash like this? This is too scary!"

The man was also shocked, with a tone of disbelief, and responded: "That's right! It's incredible that it crashed like this."

The girl continued, "Hey, is no one hurt? It's so scary!"

Her companion shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know!"

On both sides of the road, there were crowds of onlookers, and everyone was enthusiastically discussing the cause of the accident.

After all, the scene was too tragic. The front of a bus that was about to turn left was completely sunken, the metal was twisted and deformed, and wrinkled like the wrinkles on an old lady's face; and the driver's seat of a van that was about to turn right had all the glass shattered, and the entire front was severely deformed and wrinkled into a ball. The scene was shocking. No wonder so many people still stopped to watch and carefully examined every detail of the accident scene long after the accident.

Conan quickly shuttled through the gaps in the crowd and ran to the police officer in charge of the scene. He raised his childish face and asked in a childish voice with a bit of coquettishness and anxiety: "Uncle police, uncle police, what happened here? Can you tell me?"
