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

Chapter 503 Conan's Phobia (1st Update)
"Will you talk or not? Where is the antidote?"

"I won't tell! I'd rather die than tell!"

"I'll see if you're really that tough!"

"Ahhh!! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll talk, I'll talk... I don't have the antidote!"

"Is there really no antidote?"

"No!! Who buys poison and then specifically prepares an antidote?"

"What you say makes sense. If there's no poison, what use are you?"

"Huh? Wait...you...shouldn't you be sending us to jail?"

"Yes, yes... Murder is illegal!"

"Are you stupid? They're all my men inside... If they don't say anything, how will anyone know I killed them?"

"........."

After learning that the two robbers did not have poison, Shiraishi E stopped talking and killed them both. She then picked up their bodies and threw them outside, letting the rain wash them away.

Immediately afterwards, he bought a universal antidote in the bandit shop and then rushed back to the cabin.

The atmosphere inside was so heavy it was almost suffocating. Ran and Sonoko leaned against the wall, their faces pale, Jodie's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and Conan was huddled in a corner, breathing rapidly, his lips turning purple, as if he was about to die.

"Chicken soup is here... oh no, the antidote is here!" Shiraishi E's voice broke the silence.

He completely ignored Conan, who was on the verge of dying, and immediately went to Ran's side. He carefully helped Ran up and then fed her the antidote.

He was worried that Xiaolan would choke, so he fed her little by little.

Then, the antidote was given to Sonoko and Judy in turn.

Finally, when it was Conan's turn, he shoved the bottle directly into Conan's mouth and poured the whole bottle down his throat.

After doing all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the rain off his face with the back of his hand.

After confirming that the four people were in stable condition, Shiraishi E remembered the other two.

He strode toward where Shingo Nose and Wataru Takanashi were. Although the two were motionless like wooden figures, he still squatted down to check their pulses, just in case there was still hope.

The icy touch from their fingertips proved that the two were already dead.

The blood from their wounds had congealed, leaving two dark red marks on the wooden floor.

Shiraishi E shook her head and said, "Who told you to be so unlucky, always having to climb up with Conan for no reason?"

“It’s hopeless.” He stood up, notified the others, then grabbed the two bodies and dragged them one after the other to the woodshed next door.

About fifteen minutes later, the antidote began to take effect.

Xiaolan felt that her breathing was much smoother and found that the tightness and pain in her chest had lessened considerably.

Sonoko gradually regained consciousness, and she weakly raised her hand to rub her temples.

Judy's breathing had stabilized, but the gunshot wound still caused her pain.

Conan was the last to recover; he struggled to sit up, his face still pale.

"It's all my fault," Xiaolan blamed herself after recovering. "If I had been more careful when cooking, they wouldn't have had the chance to poison me."

"Ran!" Sonoko grabbed her hand, her voice weak but firm: "How can you blame yourself? Those two guys were clearly prepared!"

Shiraishi handed over a glass of warm water and nodded in agreement: "Even if they don't have a chance to do it in the kitchen, they'll do it elsewhere. It's hard for ordinary people to guard against the methods of these professional criminals."

Judy comforted her, "Lan, don't blame yourself. The important thing is that we're all safe and sound."

With everyone's encouragement, Xiaolan gradually calmed down.

At that moment, Conan silently stood up and staggered towards the door.

"Conan, where are you going?" Ran called out worriedly, but Conan just waved his hand and disappeared through the door without looking back.

He went outside and looked at the couple's corpses; unsurprisingly, they had been killed by Shiraishi E.

He had nothing to say about that.

Conan walked to the woodshed and saw the two corpses lying carelessly on the ground.

He looked at the two dead men and felt deeply guilty.

If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died, right?
Conan angrily slammed his fist on the table, feeling that his actions were not discreet enough and his movements were not professional enough.

If it were done professionally, this wouldn't have happened!
With a heavy heart, he returned to the cabin.

By this time, Shiraishi E had already prepared a simple lunch.

The aroma of food filled the air, but apart from Shiraishi E, no one else had much of an appetite.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi had no appetite at all.

Although Jodie couldn't eat, she forced herself to swallow a few bites of bread to help her recover. Ran noticed Conan's unusual behavior and went over to him, whispering, "Conan, this isn't your fault. Nobody expected this."

"I'm fine, Ran-neechan." Conan forced a smile: "Just let me have some peace and quiet."

Ran opened her mouth, unsure how to comfort Conan.

Looking at the child's lonely figure, she said it was impossible not to worry.

Ran then approached Shiraishi E, who was having lunch, her eyes pleading: "E, could you please comfort Conan? At least let him eat something."

"He's been climbing this mountain for so long, he can't go on without eating something."

“Okay!” Shiraishi E nodded in understanding, picked up a plate of food and walked toward Conan.

Seeing this, Conan was about to refuse the other person's comfort.

But to his surprise, Shiraishi E slammed the plate down in front of Conan and slapped him across the face.

The sound of a snap was particularly clear inside the wooden house.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Shiraishi E, not expecting him to make a move so directly.

Conan was also surprised when Shiraishi E directly slapped him. He covered his slapped cheek and looked at her in disbelief.

Shiraishi E said bluntly, "Eat it, or I'll tell your mother what happened today!!"

"!!!" These words seemed to have a magical power, and Conan's expression immediately changed.

Ignoring the slap he'd received, he quickly said, "No! I'll eat it, I'll eat it now!"

He hurriedly grabbed his chopsticks and began to wolf down his food, afraid that Shiraishi E might change her mind.

Ran and Judy were both astonished by what they saw and didn't know what to say for a moment!
Sonoko couldn't help but nudge Ran and say, "Ran, next time don't try to comfort Conan so gently... just like I drew, go up and slap him! Wake him up!!"

“…Oh.” Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully, realizing that her gentle words of comfort didn’t seem to be very effective.

Next time, try using this rough method.

After the meal, Shiraishi E curiously rummaged through the robber's backpack. When stacks of blood-stained ten-thousand-yen bills were scattered on the ground, everyone gasped.

"Strange, they didn't have guns. They couldn't possibly be robbing a bank with knives, could they?" Shiraishi E frowned.

Conan leaned closer to observe: "It's possible that there's been infighting among the group."

Judy, dragging her injured leg, also came over to check: "That's possible."

Shiraishi then checked the backpacks of the other two people.

To appease Conan's fragile heart, he simply bought some things from the Bandit Mall and stuffed them inside!

"Let's see what's in the other two people's backpacks," Shiraishi said, and in front of everyone, she took out the contents of the two backpacks.

Further inspection revealed ropes, tape, and several bottles of unidentified liquid inside the backpack, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.

"This is... a date rape drug?" Judy went over to examine it and looked at the tools of the crime in disbelief.

Sonoko took a step back, her face filled with horror: "Oh my god! We're actually sharing a room with this kind of pervert!"

"Completely... I couldn't tell at all," Xiaolan said, still shaken.

Shiraishi E said in a deep voice, "I don't know how many people have suffered at their hands." He turned to Conan, "In a sense, you saved everyone."

"..." This twist greatly surprised Conan, and his guilt immediately subsided by more than half.

As for the remaining point, it was because he felt he had been too reckless.

Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap rang out, shaking the entire wooden house.

At that moment, a deafening roar came from outside the window.

Xiaolan turned to look out the window. The torrential rain continued to pour down, the raindrops pattering against the glass. She couldn't help but worry, "What about Ms. Judy's injury?"

"I'm fine." Judy waved her hand. "The wound has been bandaged. It's not too late to go down the mountain after the rain stops."

Sonoko walked anxiously to the window: "This rain is too heavy."

Conan was in a much better mood now. He walked to the door, carefully observed the surrounding terrain, stroked his chin, and said, "This is a lot of rain. Combined with the terrain here, it could trigger a mudslide!"

As if to confirm his guess, a rumbling sound came from afar.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Shiraishi quickly bought a pair of binoculars, rushed to the door, and was immediately shocked: "Oh no! The mudslide is really coming! It's right on the north slope!"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Conan, with Sonoko complaining, "Conan, you're such a jinx!"

Conan didn't say anything, he just kept slapping himself in the face.

He wished he could take back what he had just said!
