Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 539: The Jealous King of East Asia, Jealous Online! (Seeking monthly tickets!)
At this moment, the accident scene was still in a mess, with the cordon fluttering in the breeze, making a rustling sound. The crowds that had gathered around to watch the fun had gradually dispersed, leaving only the police busy investigating, not missing any clues.

The scene was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere, as if the air was condensed by this tragic accident, and every breath was filled with heaviness and uneasiness.

Looking at the horrific car accident scene in the distance, Maya Tachibana's pupils trembled slightly, as if she was tightly shrouded by an invisible layer of fear. Her lips trembled, and her voice was full of panic and pain, as if she was back to the terrible disaster scene again: "Bus...truck...collided!"

"Ms. Maya, are you okay?"

Kogoro Mori has always been a kind and gentle man. When he saw Maya Tachibana looking so pitiful, his face instantly became solemn, and his expression was as gloomy as the thick dark clouds rolling before a storm.

He stared at the scene of the car accident, his eyes burning with anger and revealing a firm determination.

The guy who caused the car accident was so despicable that he dared to hurt such a beautiful and gentle Miss Maya Tachibana!

Kogoro Mori cursed in his heart, anger burning in his chest.

If his precious daughter, Xiaolan, had not been right next to him at this moment, he really wanted to rush to Tachibana Maya, gently embrace her in his arms, and use his warm embrace to give her the most intimate comfort, and comfort this poor beauty who had suffered.

However, although he was unable to comfort Maya Tachibana with a hug, Kogoro Mori silently made a vow in his heart that he would find out the truth behind the car accident and seek justice for the poor Miss Maya Tachibana in his eyes.

"How miserable!"

Standing behind Maya Tachibana, Ran Mao Li's face was also full of surprise, and her eyes showed deep compassion for the disaster. Deep in her heart, she was full of sympathy for the victims, and this emotion also strengthened her determination to uncover the truth.

"That's right! That's it!"

As if the extremely tragic scene at the accident scene had given her a strong and fatal stimulation, the long-forgotten memory valve in Maya Tachibana's mind finally opened with a "boom". She clearly recalled the horrific scene of the two cars colliding at that time, and her expression instantly became extremely excited, shouting loudly: "I remember it! That terrible feeling, I remember it all!"

Seeing this scene, Conan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, and said: "It seems that the excitement at the scene did help Miss Tachibana Maya regain some of her memories. This is a good start!"

"That's great, Conan! That's great!"

When Mao Lilan heard such good news, she was so excited that she could not control herself. Even her voice trembled with joy when she spoke.

Conan turned around with a smile, facing Mao Lilan's praise, his face was filled with an innocent smile, and he replied with a smile: "It's just good luck, Xiaolan! I just guessed blindly, but I didn't expect to guess it right."

"But it's very strange! Why didn't Miss Tachibana Maya respond by running away instead of accepting treatment? This doesn't make sense at all."

Kogoro Mouri withdrew his gaze from the car accident scene and looked at Maya Tachibana. His face was serious, his brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes were full of confusion and thought. He tried to find the answer to this question from the fog.

Conan had an explanation for this doubt in his mind, and said to Maori Kogoro frankly: "I think she must have been chased by bad guys at the time, and she was so scared that she didn't care about treatment and just wanted to run away. Maybe those bad guys are still nearby, we have to be careful!"

As he spoke, his voice had a bit of the childishness that is unique to children, but his tone revealed a calmness and composure that was extremely inconsistent with his age, as if he was a battle-hardened detective.

"Hmm... Conan is right."

Kogoro Mouri touched his chin and agreed with Conan's opinion from the bottom of his heart.

Unexpectedly, although Conan looks naughty and mischievous on weekdays, he is actually very smart at critical moments and can analyze things very clearly.

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on Tachibana Maya in front of him, and said solemnly: "Ms. Tachibana Maya, in my opinion, the reason why you chose to escape at all costs at that time was because even though you had lost your memory, your body's instinct still sensed the deadly danger, so that you forgot about the treatment."

At this point, Maori Kogoro's tone suddenly sank, and he asserted firmly: "There must be a shocking conspiracy behind this matter!"

Then, his eyes revealed great determination, and he added: "Moreover, this conspiracy is likely to affect many innocent people. We must not sit idly by and do nothing. We must do everything we can to stop it!"

"Dad is right!"

Hearing his analysis, Mao Lilan couldn't help but frown, with worry in her eyes, and then she seriously echoed: "We must not let the bad guys succeed!"

She felt that this matter, just as her father had said, must be hidden behind a shocking conspiracy!

Moreover, this conspiracy is likely to affect many innocent people.

Otherwise, Tachibana Maya would not have been able to sense the fatal crisis instinctively even though she had lost her memory, and would not have even thrown the matter of treatment out of her mind and resolutely chose to escape.

Because of this, they must not stand idly by, but must do their utmost and try every possible means to prevent this crisis from happening!
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous, and the lives and happiness of countless people will be ruthlessly crushed.

At this point, Mao Lilan paused for a moment, and she subconsciously turned sideways and cast an inquiring gaze at Bai Ye beside her. Her eyes were full of unreserved trust and deep expectation, and she asked softly: "Bai Ye, where do you think we should start next?" Mao Lilan has always had a clear understanding of herself. She knows that although she is not stupid, she is definitely not the kind of girl who can see through complex situations at a glance and quickly come up with perfect countermeasures. She is particularly smart.

However, the god of luck seemed to favor her especially, allowing her to have an extremely outstanding boyfriend.

In her heart, her boyfriend is like someone with super powers. No matter how difficult the problem or complex the dilemma is, he can easily resolve it with his extraordinary wisdom and keen insight.

She firmly believed that this time, her boyfriend would live up to her expectations, come up with a brilliant solution and lead everyone out of the predicament.

As for why, at this critical moment, she did not place her hopes on her biological father, Kogoro Mori?

Haha, others might misunderstand her father’s style and abilities because they are not familiar with him, but as a daughter who has lived with her father day and night for more than ten years, how could she not be clear?

Her father is always careless and casual in his behavior. Not only that, he is also easily seduced by beauty and often makes some ridiculous moves. When encountering things, his thinking is often not rigorous and he does not consider the problems thoroughly, which makes him seem extremely unreliable.

Especially at critical moments, when he is required to analyze calmly and make decisive decisions, the other party always fails to perform his due role.

Many past experiences have made Mao Lilan realize that if she places all her hopes on her father this time, the final result will most likely be like drawing water with a bamboo basket, a false hope.

Not only will it fail to solve the problem at hand, but it may also make an already complicated situation worse due to the other party's unintentional actions, add more unnecessary trouble, and may even lead to some irreversible consequences.

Taking in the expression on Ran Mouri's face, Conan couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Seeing the expression on Mao Lilan's face, Conan couldn't help but feel a little jealous. You know, in the past, whenever his childhood sweetheart encountered any problems, the first person she thought of for help was him. The two of them worked together to solve countless cases and difficulties. But now, she didn't even ask for his opinion, but directly asked Bai Ye. How could he accept this situation willingly?

This feeling of being ignored and neglected was like a sharp thorn piercing his heart.

Thinking of this, Conan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a sharp light flashed across the lenses. Then, without waiting for Bai Ye to reply, Conan spoke out his suggestions: "Sister Xiaolan, I think we have to start with Miss Maya Tachibana's previous whereabouts. She must have frequented places and contacted people before she lost her memory. These may be key clues to solving the mystery. We can visit the area near where she was found and ask residents if they have seen her or if she has left any items. In addition, we must also study the hospital's examination report on her carefully. Maybe it contains important clues about her identity or the reason why she is being tracked."

After hearing this, Maori Kogoro touched his chin and nodded, "Well, Conan's suggestion makes sense. Starting from the past trajectory of the missing person and related items, we may be able to dig out valuable information and point out the direction for our investigation."

After taking a deep look at Conan who spoke first, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly added: "At the same time, we can't just stay on the surface of this car accident. The police accident report needs to be studied in depth to investigate the origin of the vehicle involved, the background of the owner, and whether there are other unknown details in the car at the time. Maybe this car accident is not a simple accident, but an important part of the conspiracy. By digging into these details, we may be able to find clues related to the mastermind behind the scenes, and thus tear open a corner of the conspiracy."

Oh, now he knows how to show off and perform in front of his Xiaolan? Why wasn't he so active earlier?

Looking back to the past, before someone encountered misfortune and became smaller, he, as a time traveler, had not yet set foot in the world of the two, let alone had the opportunity to steal their girl.

However, even during that period, there was no sign that the other party showed too much care or attention towards his childhood sweetheart, Mao Li Ran.

But now, he has grown smaller and realized that Mao Lilan might leave him, so he remembered to show his courtesy. Don’t you think it’s too late?

You have to know that now he and his daughter Xiaolan have an inextricable and intimate relationship that no one else can match. They have experienced so much together, and the depth of those memories and emotions is no longer comparable to that of a high school detective!

Thinking of this, Bai Ye turned his gaze to Tachibana Maya who was standing beside him, his eyes full of concern and gentleness, and asked softly: "Ms. Maya, do you remember if anything special happened before the car accident? For example, was there anyone following you, or who did you meet? Did you see any unusual objects or hear any strange words at the scene? Any tiny details may be crucial to our investigation, and even the most insignificant one may become the key to solving the mystery."

Maya Tachibana frowned, lost in deep thought. In her mind, fragments of memory were intertwined like tangled threads. She tried hard to sort them out, trying to find useful information. After a moment, she slowly spoke, her voice trembling slightly, as if she was still immersed in the terrible memory: "I... I seem to remember that before the car accident, I was always avoiding someone. I always felt that someone was staring at me in the dark. Once, I saw a man wearing a black hat in an alley. His eyes were scary and full of murderous intent, so I ran away quickly. Not long after that, I got on the bus. And... I seemed to hear him whispering something about the deal having to be completed as soon as possible and not letting anything go wrong, but I was too scared at the time and couldn't hear it clearly."

Conan and Maori Kogoro looked at each other, Conan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "It seems that Miss Tachibana Maya has been targeted, which is very likely closely related to the car accident. Judging from what she heard, there seems to be some shady deal behind it. We have to start from this clue and investigate the man in the black hat and related transaction information. Once we have this information, it is equivalent to holding the key rope to uncover the conspiracy."

"Well, there must be something fishy behind this car accident."

Maori Kogoro nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's. He immediately asked Tachibana Maya, "Ms. Maya, do you still remember the figure and accent of that person? Also, are there any special signs or conspicuous features around the place where you met?"

"I remember……"

Maya Tachibana bit her lower lip, her expression solemn, her forehead slightly wrinkled as she thought hard. She tried hard to search for relevant clues from the depths of her memory.

"He was wearing a black hat..."

Maya Tachibana tried to describe it in more detail, but her memory seemed to be deliberately against her, and the key details were always unclear.

"besides……"
