Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 156: Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi finally fight side by side
The alarm clock itself is still in room 414 of building where Kogoro Mouri lives, but its sound is heard by many people through the radio waves of the eavesdropping device.

Xiaolan also heard the voice from Chiba Kazunobu's headphones. She suddenly came back to her senses, her body slightly tensed, and she looked around vigilantly.

What will happen next?

"Someone is committing a crime, call the police!"

The lights in the room suddenly brightened, and a familiar voice sounded. Xiaolan walked to the door and looked to the right of the building. It was the ward where her father was. She took two steps over there and looked to the left. Sure enough, there was also a room with bright lights.

Bang! ! !
Snap, snap——!!!
There was a loud bang, glass shattered like rain, and a figure fell from the sky.

The person's face could not be seen clearly in the night, but his short hair blown by the wind exuded a platinum luster.

"Mr. Amuro!"

Kudo Shinichi's shout was heard from the building on the right.

Amuro?

Knowing that the figure flying backwards was Amuro Toru, Xiaolan's eyes became stern, and she rushed towards the spot where Amuro Toru fell, wanting to catch him, but when she was halfway there, she saw Amuro Toru adjusting his posture in mid-air, and her momentum turned towards the stairs:

"I'll stop him! What does he look like?"

girl?

This speed?

There was a glint of something strange in Amuro Toru's eyes, and he quickly answered loudly: "White coat, wearing a mask, medium build!"

The target's features were quite unclear. Amuro Toru looked towards the window from which he flew out, and saw the man he was talking about standing at the door, waving at him.

Snapped--

Turn off the lights and the room falls into darkness!
Bang! ! !
Toru Amuro fell to the ground with his knees bent, but he was not hurt. His hands were still in the shape of a cross in front of his chest. He slowly put them down and shook them, feeling a little numb.

He waited for a long time in the room where Kogoro Mori had hallucinations, but neither Mitsuo Shirai nor Katsuki Eto came.

At half past eleven, the alarm clock in Kogoro Mori's room rang. Toru Amuro listened to the ringing tone in his headphones and looked at the still empty window in front of him. He thought that Mitsuo Shirai had reformed and would not start the plan tonight.

Even though many people's efforts would be in vain, at least no one would lose their life.

Yeah.

Then, just as he was thinking this, he could clearly hear Kogoro Mouri shouting from the building opposite.

Someone committed a crime?

Someone committed a murder? ! ! !
Toru Amuro looked at the still empty window in front of him and suddenly felt his scalp tingling. Could it be that the reasoning of several of them was wrong?

A reasonable suspicion arises instantly: could the murder have occurred in another room?
Without hesitation, Amuro Toru walked to the window, but before he could look out, alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

There is a sound of wind behind my head!

He turned around to block without hesitation, and although Toru Amuro was not killed instantly by the kick, the huge force still made him fly backwards.

The memories flashed by, and when he heard the banging sound upstairs, Toru Amuro's eyes lit up and he quickly ran towards the stairs.

"Well done, Xiaolan!"

Shinichi Kudo in Room 413, Building , heard the fighting sound in the opposite building and waved his fist excitedly. No matter why Xiaolan came here, it would be great to be able to help!
The effect of the painkiller on his arm had not yet worn off, so he was able to move normally. He stuck his head out of the window and took a careful look around, then turned around and ran out to the next ward.

Maori Kogoro had long disappeared at this time, but Aida Masayo was still there, just stood up and put on her shoes, nodding to Kudo Shinichi. This afternoon, when Xiaolan came to visit Kudo Shinichi, of course she also visited Maori Kogoro on the way. Maori Kogoro asked why the neighbors were so noisy, and he also learned about Kudo Shinichi's hospitalization. Aida Masayo also went over to greet him politely.

Kudo Shinichi also nodded, then hurried to the window and looked around outside.

There was nothing in sight except the dark building opposite.

No, because the fighting over there was getting louder and louder, and lights were already on in many rooms.

However, the room that Kudo Shinichi was looking for, where Kogoro Mori had hallucinations, was nowhere to be found!
"Ms. Aida, have you ever seen a crime scene before?" Kudo Shinichi asked anxiously.

"No."

Aida Masayo also walked to the window and said calmly, "In fact, I have not slept at all. I have been looking out the window since 11:20, waiting for the alarm to ring. But even though Mr. Maori looked out the window and shouted, I did not see any images of anyone committing a crime from beginning to end."

Kudo Shinichi's heart sank. Yes, he had been lying by the window waiting for half past eleven, but he had not seen any scene of anyone committing a crime!

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that Uncle Maori was really hallucinating?
So what is the situation of the fight in the building opposite at this time?
Kudo Shinichi's mind was full of thoughts. He took a few steps back and lay on the bed where Maori Kogoro had slept before:
"Ms. Aida, what was Mr. Mori's sleeping position like? When he saw the murderous image, which direction was his head facing?"

Aida Masayo understood what he meant, and after two seconds of silence, he shook his head and said:

"Mr. Maori saw the murder image with a large range of motion. He saw it while lying down, and then stood up and was still able to see it. It was not a special reflex that could only be fixed at a certain angle."

"what?!"

Kudo Shinichi was shocked. This situation...

Oh no, Uncle Maori isn’t really going to have any problems!
Or is there something in his eyes?
The sound of fighting continued in the headphones, and Amuro Toru gave Xiaolan instructions to block the opponent's retreat. The police who were scattered around the target area also rushed there, and the unidentified attacker seemed to be trapped.

This made Kudo Shinichi feel a little comforted, perhaps he could get something from that person.

But at this moment, he was lying on Kogoro Mori's hospital bed and looking around, his heart still full of doubts. If what Uncle Mori saw was really an illusion, then what about their previous reasoning?

Just a coincidence?

puff--! ! !
It was as if the tangible light was suddenly taken away, and there seemed to be a slight sound in the air. The whole hospital suddenly turned into darkness. The sound of fighting continued, and the surrounding area was in commotion after a brief silence.

"Power supply room!"

Kudo Shinichi shouted in the communication and ran out, not forgetting to turn around and shout:

"Ms. Aida, you stay here and don't allow anyone to come in and disrupt the scene!"

"I see."

Aida Masayo's answer was still very calm, she was just an ordinary person.

Although she was willing to do some extra work because of Yingsheng's high salary, it was limited to the scope without risk.

She couldn't understand what was going on here right now. Perhaps it involved a murder case, so she wouldn't meddle in it.

It’s a pity that Mr. Mao Li seems to have mental problems, and she won’t be able to keep this job for long.

Thinking of this, she looked towards Kogoro Mouri's bed.

Huh?
what is that?
