I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 397 Director Bei is Unreliable (2 Updates)
Shiraishi E gently pushed open the window, but unexpectedly, the window made a slight creaking sound.

This startled Xiao Lanyuanzi and Ye, who were standing behind them, causing them to gasp in surprise.

Shiraishi E nimbly vaulted into the indoor corridor, landing as silently as a cat.

He looked around to make sure it was safe before turning around and helping the girls in one by one.

"This way." Shiraishi E gestured and led them along the brightly lit corridor.

Ran and Sonoko remained calm. Having followed Shiraishi E, they had experienced a number of things along the way.

Xiao Lan, in particular, had experienced several brushes with death, but her mentality remained as calm as a rock, and she did not panic.

Although Sonoko was a little flustered, she felt that she was someone who had captured Kaito Kid before, so her mental fortitude was not too bad.

On the contrary, Kazuha had only ever followed Heiji around crime scenes and interacted with criminals.

When have I ever infiltrated the enemy's stronghold to rescue people?
Suddenly, her palms started sweating, her heart raced, her breathing became rapid, and she became noticeably tense.

Fortunately, the observant Ran noticed Kazuha's unusual behavior and immediately took his sweaty hand in hers, giving him an encouraging look.

This allowed Kazuha to gradually calm down.

Just then, a man in black suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.

The man in black was momentarily stunned when he saw Shiraishi E and her group. He hadn't expected to run into other people in the villa.

He then hurriedly pulled out his pistol and shouted sternly, "Stop! Hands up!!"

Shiraishi E decisively raised her hands and said, "Don't shoot!!"

"How did you get in?" the man in black asked, noticing that they were just a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school students, which immediately lowered his guard considerably.

"Uh... we were just curious, so we climbed over the wall to get in," Shiraishi E explained hastily. "Please don't call the police... we'll leave now!"

"Call the police?" The man in black chuckled as if he had heard a joke.

He walked up to the shirtless, perverted teenager and threatened, "You think calling the police will solve everything? You're trespassing on a private residence!!"

As he spoke, he noticed three girls in yukatas behind the perverted boy. Seeing that they were all beautiful women, a lewd smile spread across his face: "Tsk tsk tsk, you're quite the ladies' man. Bringing in a bunch of beauties in the middle of the night..."

His gaze deliberately lingered on Xiaolan and Ye, the barely visible collarbones at the neckline of their yukatas making his breathing heavy. He was somewhat tempted: "They are indeed beautiful. If you let these three beauties play with me, I can pretend this never happened!"

His gaze displeased the three girls.

Anger flared in Ran's eyes, but reason told her not to act rashly. Kazuha clenched her fists in anger, trembling all over, while Sonoko hid behind Shiraishi E in fear.

"Brother," Shiraishi E said with a forced smile, subtly taking half a step forward, "These...they're still students, you see..."

"Baka!!" the man in black cursed angrily, wanting to teach the kid a lesson. He smashed the butt of his gun into Shiraishi E's abdomen.

The moment he made his move, Shiraishi grabbed the other man's wrist with one hand and slammed the other man's lower abdomen hard with the other hand.

"Ugh—" The man in black groaned in pain, then rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

This relieved the three girls.

Kazuha was seeing Shiraishi E use her skills for the first time, so she was extremely surprised: "Shiraishi-kun, I didn't expect... you could do this!! That's amazing!"

She had studied martial arts techniques, so of course she knew that Shiraishi Ei's punch had hit the smooth muscle of the man in black's internal organs, causing temporary paralysis and resulting in severe painful shock.

"I learned it from TV," Shiraishi E said modestly, then cautioned, "But don't try to learn this move carelessly. If you use too much force, it can easily cause your liver and spleen to rupture, and it can be fatal!!"

He had barely finished speaking when the three girls suddenly looked surprised.

Because the man in black lying on the ground started bleeding from his mouth.

Shiraishi E turned her head and looked at him with a frustrated expression. She said, "Look, this is a typical example of what not to do... He used too much force, which caused his liver and spleen to rupture. With this amount of bleeding, he's probably dead."

Of course, he deliberately used such a heavy hand.

The man in black has seen his face, so he'll definitely have to silence him.

Otherwise, if he spreads this news, he and others will have to say goodbye to their peaceful lives.

"This move... is indeed very dangerous," Xiaolan said with certainty after witnessing it firsthand.

"So, all the movies are lies?" Sonoko realized she'd been fooled.

"..." Kazuha looked at Ran and Sonoko with some astonishment. She couldn't help but remind them, "This is not the time to worry about these things, is it? This... this is a dead person, a person has been killed!!" She really wanted to remind the three of the fact that someone had died, that was the important thing.

"I'm sorry, I went a little too far," Shiraishi E said, looking ashamed as she apologized.

"Hui, you don't need to apologize. It's not your fault... You only used force for our safety." Xiaolan gently comforted him, telling him not to blame himself.

"Yes, and besides, he was pointing a gun at us! We were acting in self-defense!" Sonoko said confidently, directly shifting all the blame onto Shiraishi E.

She even said, "Don't worry, Hui! I'll have my dad talk to the prosecutor and make sure you're not prosecuted!"

Xiaolan quickly added, "I'll have Mom defend you too, so don't worry!"

"…………" Kazuha stared at Ran and Sonoko in disbelief, not expecting the two to be so obviously biased!
She opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But soon, emotions overwhelmed reason.

Yes! Shiraishi E did this to save us.

What right do I have to criticize him?

Shiraishi E was unaware of Kazuha's inner thoughts. He picked up the man in black's pistol, intending to speed things up and leave as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if others see this corpse, even Director Bay probably wouldn't be able to handle it... Sigh, how could someone else barge onto the set? You're not a qualified director.

Just as he looked up, another man in black appeared at the end of the corridor.

The man in black's expression changed drastically when he saw his companion lying in a pool of blood. His first reaction was to draw his gun and fire.

Upon seeing this, Shiraishi E did not retaliate immediately, but instead tackled the three girls to the ground.

The bullet whizzed past his hair and blasted a hole in the wall behind him.

Without time to think, Shiraishi E raised her hand and fired a shot.

boom!
The gunshots were deafening in the enclosed space.

A flower of blood bloomed between the black-clad man's brows, and he fell straight down.

"!!!" Sonoko was startled, but she covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.

Kazuha's face was deathly pale as she gripped Ran's arm tightly. Ran, however, remained calm and hurriedly asked, "Oh no! The others will come when they hear the gunshots. Ei, should we leave?"

"It's too late to run away now, we have to find Heiji quickly! Follow me." Shiraishi E decisively chose to continue.

Although he had three people who were dragging him down, he didn't care at all.

Since we can't infiltrate, let's kill all the enemies!
As he spoke, he strode over to the man in black who had been shot dead, picked up a pistol, and then bought two more pistols and magazines from the bandit shop.

"Good luck, we can each have one." Shiraishi E handed the pistols to the three girls.

There's no need to ask about Xiaolan and Yuanzi; they both have practical experience. Plus, one is talented and the other is rich, so you can confidently entrust your pistols to them.

He looked at Kazuha and asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

After Kazuha took the pistol, her nervousness increased even more. She stammered, "I...I know how. My father is the head of the criminal investigation department, and he taught me how to use a pistol."

"..." Upon hearing this, Shiraishi E knew that she had asked a redundant question.

He couldn't help but complain: "Genius, rich kid, official's kid... If I hadn't cheated, I would just be the most ordinary one here."

After quickly composing himself, he gestured for the three girls to follow him.

As she made her way to the place where Conan and Heiji were being held, Shiraishi E began to ponder what was going on.

It's obvious that Director Bei's promise is no longer reliable. If she were reliable, the men in black wouldn't have appeared in front of them at all.

Is Vermouth trying to sabotage me?
No, that's impossible. Ran is here too. Vermouth wouldn't joke about her angel's life.

What's more, Conan was locked up.

Something must have gone wrong here.

After thinking about this, Shiraishi E decisively abandoned all wishful thinking and decided to follow her own way.

If you kill all the men in black who see your face, then no one will know that you infiltrated the area.
