Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 558 Excited

Shiraishi's words made the atmosphere on the ship even more tense.

"You, Officer Shiraishi...you mean...Scooping is among us? Does no one know what Scoooping looks like?" Kosaka's butler asked nervously.

“Unfortunately, although Scrooge is an internationally wanted criminal, no one knows his true identity, not even whether he is male or female, or his approximate age,” Bai Shi said, shaking his head.

However, Pu Siqinglan then said, "It might not be because he filmed something about us. It could be... that his video camera contained something that was very important to Skobing."

Pu Siqinglan looked hesitant and somewhat frightened, as if she wasn't trying to explain herself.

“It’s not impossible,” Shiraishi said after looking at her.

Just then, Conan's phone vibrated. After glancing at it, Conan looked conflicted, first at Shiraishi, then at Ran...

Shiraishi completely ignored him, but Ran... was staring at him with a smile.

Conan looked at the message Shiraishi had sent him on his phone, and in his mind he was cursing him to death—asking me to cooperate with you now is like asking me to die!
but……

Thinking that if they left "Scott" on the ship, the situation might get worse, and even Ran might be in danger, so...

Conan took a deep breath, then forced himself to speak, "Huh...huh..."

After attracting everyone's attention by acting cute, Conan continued, "This villain named Scroogemin specifically targets people's right eyes. Did he learn that from the Romanov dynasty? I remember seeing on TV that in the later period of the Romanov dynasty, an important person died after having his right eye gouged out."

"Ugh...it's so bloody. Ran, don't show everything to that brat." Sonoko shuddered at this moment.

However, Xiaolan was distracted at the time and only vaguely heard these words. She instinctively retorted, "I didn't show it to him on purpose! I thought he was a little..."

Garden: ?
"Cough cough, it's nothing...hehe...TV...I'll be more careful in the future," Xiaolan said with a dry laugh after realizing what she meant.

Conan: ...

"Oh no," Conan thought, feeling like he was about to die.

That's right, the reason Conan brought up this topic was because Shiraishi secretly sent him a message, asking him to "set the pace," which is why he risked being suspected by Ran and still "acted recklessly" at this time.

Seeing Ran's reaction, Conan felt that what he had seen "that he shouldn't have seen" was enough for Ran to kill him, so he didn't dare to continue speaking for a moment.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of a straight man to chime in. Yaro, who was standing to the side, said directly, "Are you talking about the evil monk Rasputin? Indeed, it is said that when that guy was killed, his right eye also disappeared."

Although the ideology in Mao is currently chaotic, with some still criticizing the middle and later Romanov dynasties and others longing for even the later Romanov dynasties, the point that Rasputin is the main villain is generally agreed upon by both sides. Yaro's tone at this time was naturally not very respectful.

"Who is Rasputin?" Sonoko asked Ran in a low voice.

Ran, who has more historical knowledge, was about to explain when she suddenly remembered something and said, "Conan, why don't you explain this to Sonoko-neechan?"

Conan: ...

Meanwhile, Shiraishi didn't help Conan in his predicament either, but instead explained to Ayako, "Rasputin... you know, the one in that museum... 28 centimeters... legend has it he can..."

Ayako hadn't asked anything, but upon hearing Shiraishi's words, her face flushed red, and she slapped Shiraishi to remind him to be serious.

Pu Siqinglan: ...

Sure enough, Shiraishi could sense that Pu Siqinglan had begun to show hostility towards him!
Hmm, it seems this little thing is undoubtedly the successor of the demonic monk.

"They don't know that..."

"How could that be? Isn't Conan an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable detective?"

Conan is still locked in a tug-of-war with Ran.

Sonoko: ...

Looking at the sister and brother-in-law flirting, and then at Ran and Conan who also seem to be flirting, I suddenly questioned my existence.

"Alright, alright, you know he's a bad guy, okay?" Sonoko rolled her eyes.

“That’s not entirely true…” Qian Jiangyi then interjected, “If it weren’t for that wicked monk, collecting the artworks of the Romanov dynasty would be even more difficult now, hahaha… hiccup.”

Pu Siqinglan, Ya Luo: ...

Qian Jiangyi's supposedly humorous remark was interrupted by an awkward chill—Ya Luo was openly glaring at him, after all, Qian Jiangyi was indirectly gloating over Mao Guo's misfortune, while Pu Siqinglan was subtly targeting him.

In short, everyone was either complaining, hating, or making jokes... and for a time, the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

This mockery successfully ignited Pu Siqinglan's anger.

even……

[Watch out, her aura is starting to become unstable!] Ayari was alarmed at this moment.

Even without her reminder, Shiraishi had already sensed it, and even... in Shiraishi's vision, he could already see that Pu Siqinglan's right eye was flickering between light and darkness.

Of course, this was not a flickering of light in the optical sense, and no one else noticed anything unusual at this time.

Shiraishi himself was also surprised...

Bai Shi's original plan was simply to provoke Pu Siqinglan, to determine her identity through her emotions, and it would be even better if he could interfere with her judgment.

However, judging from Pu Siqinglan's current performance...

More alluring than I imagined!

Logically speaking, she was a professional assassin, not a psychopathic killer, so her emotions should have been very stable; otherwise, she wouldn't have survived to become a "famous assassin."

Does she really have that much respect for Rasputin?

if it is like this……

More plans were already forming in Shiraishi's mind, "forcing" her to reveal a weakness!

However, to Shiraishi's surprise...

"Ah!" Kosaka suddenly exclaimed.

It was none other than Pu Si Qinglan, who was closest to her, who suddenly attacked, pulling out a pistol from who-knows-where and pointing it at Kosaka Natsumi's head!
Shiraishi:! ! !
Magic, this is clearly magic.

after all……

Pu Siqinglan's cheongsam is so short it can't even cover her absolute territory (area of ​​skin), how could you possibly hide a pistol? And one with an infrared sight and a silencer at that!

"stop!"

"and many more……"

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Everyone was stunned.

Shiraishi never expected that she wasn't even driven to the brink, and he hadn't even begun to doubt her before... he himself exploded?
What I just said has absolutely no connection to her.

This caught Shiraishi off guard, allowing her to take a hostage.

"Enough nonsense! Give me the ring and the Tsar's egg! Then prepare a lifeboat for me!" Pu Si said menacingly.

"You...you are...?"

"Let go of the young lady!" "Don't...don't be impulsive..."

Everyone was shocked, as her attack had come too suddenly.

Bai Shi then stepped forward.

Seeing Bai Shi step forward, Pu Siqinglan immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't move! Or I'll kill her!"

Pu Siqinglan seemed to realize something as well...

When a normal person takes hostages, if someone approaches, they will instinctively point their gun at the person who is approaching. However, Pu Siqinglan kept the gun pressed against Xiangsaka's head.

Her judgment was indeed correct...

If she really pointed a gun at Shiraishi, Shiraishi felt she would rush up immediately. However, since she was pointing at the hostage, Shiraishi did not make any rash moves. Instead, she spread her hands out, indicating goodwill.

"Don't get excited. You want the ring and this, right? None of these are as precious as human life. I can give them to you." As he spoke, Bai Shi not only placed the ring he had just found in his palm, but also took out the "Tsar Egg" from his back pocket.

Seeing Bai Shi suddenly pull out the Tsar Egg, Pu Siqinglan narrowed her eyes.

"Have him hand it to me!" Pu Siqinglan gestured to the butler in Xiangsaka.

The old man didn't seem to have much physical strength, and he was also the one who cared the most about the hostages, so Pu Siqinglan naturally chose him to take over.

As for Bai Shi...

Pu Siqinglan dared not let Baishi get close to her at all!
Upon hearing this, Shiraishi handed the items to the butler without objection, only instructing, "Be sure to wait until he releases the person before giving them to her."

The fact that they didn't avoid mentioning Pu Siqinglan could also be seen as a warning to her...

Instead of exchanging the hostages and belongings directly, Pu Siqinglan retreated to the deck.

At this moment, Shiraishi also signaled to the crew to lower the lifeboat as she had instructed—there was no need to argue with Pu Siqinglan, who was being held hostage, right now!
The Suzuki family's boat is equipped with an inflatable lifeboat. A large capsule is thrown in, and it unfolds and inflates into a lifeboat. After that, it is lowered down by rope.

However, Pu Siqinglan clearly doesn't have that condition right now...

"Release the hostages, and we can let you go down," Shiraishi said calmly, though without much sincerity.

"Give me the things!" Pu Siqinglan shouted directly at the butler.

"P-Please let go of the young lady..."

boom--

The butler was shot dead at the feet of Pu Siqinglan halfway through his sentence!
Seeing this, the butler glanced at Shiraishi. At Shiraishi's signal, the butler stepped forward and handed the "Tsar Egg" and the ring to Pu Siqinglan. Pu Siqinglan, who was leaning against the side of the ship, pushed Kosaka Natsumi towards the butler after receiving the items and jumped down herself...

Keep in mind that this passenger ship is quite large, with its deck more than ten meters above the sea!
However, Pu Siqinglan not only jumped down directly, but when everyone caught up to see her, they found that she had landed steadily on the lifeboat. After all, the tow rope between the lifeboat and the ship had been cut, and it looked like the engine was about to be started and the lifeboat was about to be driven away.

at the same time……

Bang - Bang -

Pu Siqinglan fired shots at the ship's crew, forcing the crowd that was looking at her to turn back, mainly because she didn't want to give Baishi a chance to pursue!
However, Shiraishi clearly couldn't be stopped just like that...

Just as the lifeboats were already in motion, a huge black shadow suddenly "flew" from the deck and pounced on one of the lifeboats!
"Ah! Be careful!"

"Wait a moment……"

"Don't go..."

The others on the ship were also surprised that Shiraishi would go to such lengths.

boom--

Pu Siqinglan quickly aimed her gun at Baishi and fired, but Baishi was prepared.

Then, Bai Shi used the back of his hand to shield his right eye.

Of course, for anyone else, this kind of "preparation" is nonsense; they would only get shot through the palm, have their eyeballs explode, and have bullets pierce their brains.

However, Shiraishi blocked it like that...

A sharp pain shot through the back of his hand, followed by a burning pain—he was bleeding. But it was just bleeding; Shiraishi could feel it even without looking. The bullet had pierced the back of his hand, but it hadn't penetrated and had already fallen off.

Pu Siqinglan: !!!

The next moment, Bai Shi landed on the lifeboat that had run a short distance away, and the lifeboat shook violently.

However, after taking advantage of the momentum to jump twice, Pu Siqinglan stood steadily, facing Baishi at opposite ends of the lifeboat.

The Suzuki family's ship is equipped with a large lifeboat, which can theoretically hold sixty people. The two people are now standing at opposite ends, about seven or eight meters apart.

After being shocked, Pu Siqinglan immediately fired two more shots at Baishi!

The first shot was alright. Because it was close-range shooting and Shiraishi was no novice, she didn't dare to aim at the eye so casually. Instead, she pulled the trigger as quickly as possible.

However, when the bullet hit him, Shiraishi's body, along with the Red Demon... male battle suit he was wearing underneath, completely blocked it.

The next moment, Shiraishi rushed up, ignoring the lifeboat's shaking and loss of balance!

It was at this moment, with the second shot, that Shiraishi was also startled...

Shiraishi wasn't paying attention at first, but then suddenly felt a burning pain in his right eye, as if a bullet was about to come out of it!
"Be careful! It's a curse!" Ayari immediately warned.

While using techniques from the Red Magic to break the curse, Shiraishi also fully activated his body!

Whether a "curse" can take effect and how effective it is also depends on the strength of the target.

At this moment, only blood tears flowed from Bai Shi's right eye, and a bullet that appeared out of nowhere had already flowed down the blood tears onto the lifeboat.

Without pausing for a moment, Bai Shi rushed directly to Pu Siqinglan and engaged her in close combat!

Shiraishi had initially thought that her close-quarters combat skills would be somewhat weak, but unexpectedly...

Not only did Pu Siqinglan decisively abandon her gun and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Baishi, but her right eye also emitted a strange light.

fight?

Although Pu Siqinglan is not simple and also possesses supernatural powers, in hand-to-hand combat, Baishi could easily defeat three or five of her...

However, just as Pu Siqinglan's right eye flickered, Baishi was also affected and felt dizzy.

Although Shiraishi immediately suppressed his discomfort, he also slowed down his movements slightly, and was blocked by Pu Siqinglan several times. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that the two were evenly matched!

Shiraishi was about to push himself harder when he suddenly noticed that Pu Siqinglan's condition was unusual...

Pu Siqinglan's right eye had completely changed. It wasn't just a matter of "strange light"; it had transformed from the eye of a normal beauty into a wide-open, dead fish eye!
even……

In that eye, Shiraishi saw a man with a ferocious expression, striking the same pose as Urashi Seiran…

Do not!
It should be said that Pu Siqinglan's current actions seem to be controlled by the ferocious man in her eyes!
