Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 544 You're trying to sneak attack, you can't afford it! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"..."

As time passed, the suspicion in the black hat man's eyes became more and more intense, and it seemed that he was planning to come over to check. Conan suddenly thought to himself that something was wrong.

He knew very well that the current situation was extremely critical. Once the man in the black hat became alert and launched an attack in advance, Kogoro Mori, who was still injured, would most likely be in danger.

Thinking of this, he decisively picked up a small stone from the ground, and while the man in the black hat was not paying attention, he quickly exerted force with his arm and threw it hard to the other end of the room.

With a "clang", the stone hit the wall heavily, making a crisp and loud sound.

The sound echoed in the empty room like a sudden thunder.

When the black-hatted man heard the noise, his body suddenly stiffened, his muscles tensed instantly, like a frightened beast. His eyes flashed with panic and vigilance, and he turned his head sharply, his eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from.

Taking advantage of the moment when the black-hat man was distracted, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up a larger stone as quickly as possible, and smashed it at the short stick in the black-hat man's hand.

Previously, when Kogoro Mouri was beaten, it could be said that it was caused by the other party's reckless behavior and had nothing to do with him, the supporter who had not arrived yet. But now, if he was injured by the black-hatted man when he was right next to him, he would have a hard time explaining to his girlfriend.

"Snapped……"

There was a crisp sound of impact, and the stone hit the short stick accurately.

The man in the black hat felt a sharp pain in his hand, and his whole arm became numb instantly. The short stick slipped from his weak fingers and fell to the ground with a clang.

Bai Ye took advantage of the victory and rushed towards the man in the black hat as fast as a cheetah.

Seeing this, the man in the black hat reacted very quickly. He immediately tensed up and got ready for battle.

Just as the black-hatted man was concentrating on preparing for Bai Ye's attack, Conan on the side suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"

Then he exerted force with his wrist and threw the stone in his hand towards the black-hatted man's head like a cannonball.

The black-hatted man didn't expect Conan to attack him, so he was a little slow to react and dodged hastily. The stone scraped across his cheek, and the sharp edges instantly left a bloody mark. The bright red blood oozed out, and it looked particularly hideous on his pale face.

"Damn it!"

The man in the black hat roared angrily, his voice echoing in the room, revealing endless anger and unwillingness.

He turned around and pounced towards Conan viciously, as if he wanted to eat Conan alive.

Bai Ye seized the opportunity, leaped forward like a cheetah, and kicked the black-hatted man in the abdomen.

Bai Ye seized the opportunity, leaped forward like a cheetah, and kicked the black-hatted man in the abdomen.

The black-hatted man was kicked backwards and staggered for several steps. However, he was physically very strong and quickly stabilized his body. Then he raised his fist and smashed it towards Bai Ye with a whirring sound.

Bai Ye was agile, dodging left and right, and while avoiding attacks, he was keenly looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Conan took advantage of the gap between the fight between the black-hat man and Bai Ye, crouched down, and walked lightly behind the black-hat man.

He raised a larger stone high in both hands, tensed his arm muscles, and smashed it down on the black-hatted man's legs with all his strength.

The man in the black hat noticed the movement behind him and was about to turn around to avoid it, but it was too late. The stone hit his right leg hard, and he felt a sharp pain in his right leg. His body staggered forward several steps uncontrollably and almost fell headfirst.

"good chance!"

Kogoro Mori had been waiting for an opportunity to strike. When he saw the man in the black hat was injured, he immediately rushed forward like an arrow, raised his knee high, and hit the man in the black hat hard in the waist.

The blow was so powerful that the man in the black hat completely lost his balance after suffering a series of heavy blows. He fell heavily to the ground with a thump, raising a cloud of dust.

But he quickly struggled to his feet again, with an even more ferocious expression on his face.

Staring at Bai Ye and the others, the man in the black hat gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment, and his mouth twitched as he squeezed out a word.

"You guys are such a nuisance."

"Humph, it's not that easy to slip away from under our noses."

Conan did not flinch, and responded with a firm look. At the same time, one hand quietly reached behind his back and tightly grasped a stone, ready to face new challenges at any time.

"Just you few?" The black-hatted man sneered contemptuously, "Okay, then I'll deal with you first, and then I'll deal with that stinky woman."

As he spoke, the man in the black hat roared and rushed towards Conan desperately. He looked so crazy that it seemed as if he had lost his mind.

Conan dodged flexibly and winked at Bai Ye. Bai Ye understood and went around behind the black-hatted man like a ghost. When the time was right, he kicked him hard behind the knee. The black-hatted man's legs softened and he knelt on one knee, unable to help but let out a muffled groan.

Kogoro Maori did not give the other party a chance to breathe. He rushed forward again and slammed his uninjured shoulder into the black hat man's chest.

This collision carried Kogoro Mori's anger and determination. The black-hatted man was knocked back a few steps and his back hit the wall of the abandoned room heavily, making a dull "bang" sound.

Conan took the opportunity to pick up the short stick on the ground and hit the black-hatted man on the wrist. The black-hatted man felt the pain and subconsciously retracted his hand, with a painful expression on his face.

At this moment, Bai Ye pounced and knocked the man in the black hat to the ground. The two wrestled on the ground for a few times, and Bai Ye successfully suppressed the man in the black hat with his agility and tenacious perseverance.

"Uncle, come and help!" Bai Ye shouted loudly.

Kogoro Mouri endured the pain, stepped forward quickly, and together with Bai Ye, held down the man in the black hat.

The three of them worked together and finally subdued the man in the black hat.

"You better surrender obediently, you bastard!"

Maori Kogoro said breathlessly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of the joy of victory. The black-hatted man was still struggling, cursing non-stop, trying to make a final resistance.

But as Bai Ye pulled out the rope, the black-hatted man's struggle gradually became weaker, a look of despair appeared on his face, and the fierceness in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear. "Huh, we finally caught him."

Looking at the black-hatted man who was tied up tightly on the ground, Conan wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, this time it's all thanks to you two."

Kogoro Maori said with a smile, even though his shoulder was still hurting, his face was filled with joy of victory.

"Uncle, I'm glad you're okay." Conan said with a smile, a hint of mischief in that smile, but more of reassurance.

Bai Ye stood up and dusted himself off: "Okay, the matter is finally resolved."

Maori Kogoro panted and walked up to Conan and Bai Ye: "By the way, you two little guys, why did you come here? It's dangerous here!"

Conan smiled and said, "Uncle, we were worried about you, so we followed you. Fortunately, we caught up with you, otherwise you would be in danger."

Bai Ye also said: "Uncle Maori, don't worry about these things for now, we have to hand this guy over to the police and let him explain the mastermind behind this."

Maori Kogoro nodded: "That's right, we must not let them go this time!"

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police.

But at this moment, a burst of hurried and hurried footsteps approached from afar, interrupting his thoughts.

Looking closely, the person coming was his daughter Mao Lilan.

I saw the other party running all the way, his breathing had not yet stabilized, his chest was heaving violently, his face was full of panic, his eyes were wide open, full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Oh no, oh no! Miss Tachibana Maya, she's missing!"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who had just recovered from a fierce fight, were stunned when they heard this news which was like a bolt from the blue.

Both of them widened their eyes at the same time and looked at Mao Li Ran in horror, somewhat doubting whether they had heard it wrongly.

"What did you say? Xiaolan (Sister Xiaolan)!"

Kogoro Mouri and Conan shouted in unison almost at the same moment, their voices trembling slightly with shock and anxiety.

Mao Lilan took a deep breath, trying to calm her disordered heartbeat. Then, with a slightly trembling voice, she recounted the whole process of Tachibana Maya's disappearance.

"After you guys went after the black-hatted man, Miss Maya suddenly seemed to be in great pain. She held her head tightly with both hands and kept shouting that her headache hurt. I had no choice but to find a place for her to sit down and rest. However, I didn't expect that when I turned my head, Miss Maya suddenly disappeared from behind me. I looked for her everywhere but couldn't find her."

At this point, Mao Lilan's eyes were slightly red, and a deep sense of guilt appeared on her face. She lowered her head slightly, and said to Mao Li Kogoro and Conan with deep apology: "I'm sorry! It's all my fault. If I had been more careful and kept a close eye on her, she wouldn't have disappeared!"

"Xiaolan, you don't have to apologize, this is not your fault!"

Kogoro Mori frowned, and although his expression was serious, his tone was very gentle, full of comfort for his daughter, without the slightest intention of blaming her.

After all, a little analysis would reveal that Maya Tachibana clearly ran away on her own initiative.

Mouri Ran didn't keep a close eye on her at the time because she was well-intentioned. She was only thinking about helping Tachibana Maya find a comfortable place to rest. This behavior really shouldn't be blamed.

Moreover, compared to finding out who is responsible, the most urgent and important thing at the moment is undoubtedly to find Maya Tachibana and find out where she has gone and whether she is in danger.

Maori Kogoro was thinking secretly in his heart, while touching his chin subconsciously. After some analysis, he boldly made a guess: "Could it be that man who is behind this?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle. He turned around abruptly and viciously kicked the black-hatted man who was firmly subdued on the ground, while shouting angrily: "Tell me! Did your accomplice secretly take Miss Maya away? What exactly is your conspiracy?"

In fact, at the beginning, he suspected that Maya Tachibana's disappearance was caused by the man in the black hat.

But soon, he gave up this idea.

Because, after discovering the trace of the black-hatted man, he kept chasing him relentlessly, and the other party had no time to take Tachibana Maya away.

"Well……"

The black-hatted man groaned at the sudden kick, curled up in pain, and had a look of agony on his face. But he still clenched his teeth tightly, saying nothing, and stared at Maori Kogoro fiercely with eyes full of resentment, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Seeing this, Conan squatted down slowly and stared into the eyes of the man in the black hat. His eyes were calm and sharp, which was inconsistent with his age. He said coldly: "You'd better tell the truth and stop resisting. You must know that resistance will only make your crime more serious. When the police come, you will face more severe punishment."

The black-hatted man in front of them was extremely vicious in his actions. Not only did he intend to kill them, he also almost killed Kogoro Mori and the girl he liked on the spot.

Conan had no good feelings towards him at all. He even wanted to grab him immediately and send him to the police station himself, so that he could pay the price for his actions in prison and spend the rest of his life in that cold cell.

But he also knows that in this situation, the impulsive use of violent law enforcement will not only fail to solve the problem, but may also make things worse.

Besides, compared to punishing this hateful guy in front of him, the most urgent and important task at the moment is to find Tachibana Maya against the clock.

No one knows where Maya Tachibana is now or whether she is in danger. Every second of delay may put her in deeper trouble.

After hearing what Conan said, the black-hatted man was not afraid at all. Instead, he curled his lips and showed a very disdainful sneer on his face. His tone was full of provocation: "Humph, don't scare me here. I won't say anything. Don't even think about getting a word out of me."

In fact, the man in the black hat was also very angry with his so-called accomplice Tachibana Maya, and he wanted to beat him up.

Because the other party's actions ruined his plan and caused his attempt to kill Mori Kogoro to fail, leaving him with no way to vent his hatred for Mori Kogoro.

But in comparison, his hatred for Mori Kogoro was even deeper. After all, it was Mori Kogoro who exposed his crimes and sent him to prison. Now he had fallen into an embarrassing situation where he was subdued and was about to face imprisonment.

Therefore, he did not mind causing more trouble for Mouri Kogoro, and at the same time he also wanted to try his best to conceal Tachibana Maya's true identity and secretly create an opportunity for her to successfully assassinate Mouri Kogoro so that he could vent his anger.
