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

Chapter 489 Don't panic, watch me shove her down (1st update)
The steam from the hot springs rose and formed a white mist in the cold night sky.

Eri Kisaki immersed herself in the perfectly warm spring water, with a cup of sake on a bamboo tray floating on the surface, the aroma of sake blending wonderfully with the scent of sulfur.

She did hear the noise coming from the jacuzzi next door.

The sound of water splashing violently, Xiaolan's suppressed gasp, and the deep voice of the young man named Shiraishi Ei.

As someone who has been through it all, she knows very well what these things are all about.

Logically, she should have stood up to stop her, but she hesitated because she thought that doing so would embarrass Xiaolan and make their relationship awkward.

So she chose to remain silent.

Now, she is soaking alone in an open-air hot spring, trying to calm her inexplicably restless heart with alcohol.

Fei Ying thought about it and realized that she herself had been just as impulsive when she was young.

Given his current state, there seemed to be no reason for him to stop Xiaolan.

Thinking of this, she picked up the small bottle of wine and took a sip.

"Mom?" Xiaolan's voice suddenly came from behind, carrying a hint of languor and shyness.

Eri didn't turn around, but simply hummed softly, pretending that nothing had happened, giving her daughter plenty of face!

With a splash of water, she felt her daughter slide into the hot spring and sit down beside her.

Then came another splash – Shiraishi Eya arrived, but wisely chose a spot a little further away from them.

"Where's Dad?" Ran looked around and found that Kogoro Mouri, who should have been there, was nowhere to be seen.

Eri Kisaki took a sip of her drink, a barely perceptible flicker of emotion flashing in her eyes behind her glasses: "He said he had an upset stomach, so he went to the restroom."

She didn't expose Kogoro Mouri's shameful act in front of her daughter, which was a way of giving him some face!
"Huh? My stomach hurts at a time like this?" Xiaolan's eyes widened in disbelief, finding it hard to believe!
In such a romantic setting and with such an ambiguous atmosphere, he actually had a stomachache and went to the bathroom?

Everyone was eating the same food, so why did he have a stomachache?

Everyone else is fine.
Xiaolan was speechless. Her impression of her father had just changed, but it turned out he was so unreliable!
She couldn't leave her mother alone to watch the night view with Eri Shiraishi, so she moved closer to her, gently pressing her shoulder against Eri's, and looked up at the starry sky, saying, "Mom, the night view here is so beautiful!"

Eri Kisaki replied while drinking her drink, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed."

As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Shiraishi E's direction.

The three fell into a comfortable silence, with only the occasional gurgling sound of the hot spring water.

Shiraishi E stretched out his long limbs, water droplets sliding down his muscular chest.

He appeared to be admiring the night view, but in reality, he was observing the mother and daughter through their reflections in the water.

He actually knew that Eri Kisaki was eavesdropping.

Unfortunately, the plot didn't unfold as I had imagined.

What a pity!
Sure enough, the movies were all lies.

How could such a good thing happen?

Just as Shiraishi E was criticizing those directors for their wild ideas, she suddenly noticed something.

He walked to the edge of the hot spring, leaned forward slightly, and squinted at the distance.

"There seems to be something going on in the building across the street," he said, pointing to the brightly lit commercial building.

"What's going on?" Xiaolan immediately perked up. She also walked to the edge, stood on tiptoe, and tried to look into the distance, but she couldn't see anything.

Eri Kisaki also came over and looked in the direction he was pointing, but it was too far away and she could only see blurry lights.

Shiraishi bought two exquisite binoculars from the bandit shop and handed them to the seven of them: "Use these to look, ten o'clock, twenty-third floor." Ran eagerly took the binoculars and adjusted the focus, while Eri elegantly wiped the lenses before holding them up to her eyes.

Their expressions changed from curiosity to shock almost simultaneously.

"That's... a gunfight?" Xiaolan gasped, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the binoculars.

Through the high-definition camera, she could clearly see a group of men in black shooting inside the spacious office.

Their target was a blonde woman wearing a red dress.

Eri Kisaki exclaimed in surprise, "That woman... she's amazing! She held her own against so many men in black all by herself!"

Shiraishi E didn't have binoculars, but she seemed to know the situation perfectly: "That woman in the red dress is clearly well-trained; she's most likely a secret agent..."

Xiao Lan watched as a woman in a bright red evening gown moved like a ballerina amidst a hail of bullets, her every turn accompanied by a precise shot.

Xiaolan was so engrossed in watching that she even forgot she was in a hot spring.

"She's amazing." Xiaolan couldn't help but put herself in her shoes, her body unconsciously leaning forward as the hot spring water washed over her fair shoulders.

Just then, Shiraishi E came between the two of them, put her arms around their waists, lifted them up, and let them sit on her arms so that they could see them clearly.

"Oh, that makes it much easier to watch now," Xiaolan praised.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Shiraishi." Eri Kisaki thanked him and continued watching the show through her binoculars.

The battle on the other side was probably too exciting, so much so that Eri's breathing became rapid and her glasses fogged up.

Xiaolan was also extremely worried about this battle, and couldn't help but bite her lower lip, feeling the heat that had just subsided surge up again.

After running out of bullets, the woman in the red dress, seeing that she was no match for her opponent, hurriedly turned around, broke through the window, and jumped from a height of more than twenty stories.

"Huh!" Ran and Eri exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.

Neither of them expected that the other person would jump out of the window to escape!
Xiao Lan exclaimed in shock, "Why did she jump? From such a high place!!"

“No, not necessarily.” Eri Kisaki frowned slightly and judged, “She might— um.”

She paused for a moment, glanced at Shiraishi E, and continued, "We already have an escape route!!"

“I also don’t think she committed suicide,” Shiraishi said without looking at him, seemingly unaware that Eri Kisaki was looking at him.

Her words were soon proven true.

The woman in the red dress, who was falling, suddenly grabbed something, and then, in a swinging motion, swung across a distance of twenty or thirty meters and swung directly back up.

As luck would have it, the other person landed right on their floor!

"Ah! It's coming this way!" Xiaolan exclaimed, watching the figure of the woman in the red dress grow larger and larger.

Shiraishi Ei was also surprised. He didn't expect that just eating melon seeds would cause him trouble.
He calmly said, "Don't panic... watch me stab her down!"

As he spoke, he quickly put Eri and Ran down.

He casually plucked a decorative bamboo stalk, intending to use it to stab the woman in the red dress.

As for whether she will fall to her death, that's not something I need to worry about.

"No!" Eri Kisaki quickly pressed down on Emi Shiraishi's hands, saying, "You'll cause someone to die if you do this!"

"Just kidding, Attorney Kiyoshi, don't take it seriously." Shiraishi E smiled and said, "I'm just trying to ease the tension!"

He's not stupid, how could he possibly kill someone in front of these two people?
Xiaolan finally saw the woman in the red dress clearly and exclaimed, "Teacher Judy? It's you!!"
