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

Chapter 577 Sonoko's Masterful Deception (1st Update)
The lights in the love hotel were dim and ambiguous. Pu Siqinglan knelt on the soft carpet, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She lowered her head, her gray bangs concealing the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes.

“Mr. Shiraishi,” her voice trembled slightly, carrying a deliberate air of coquetry, “let me…serve you well.”

Shiraishi looked down at her, a playful smile playing on her lips.

He could feel the killing intent emanating from the other party.

It was clear that Pu Siqinglan had not given up on her idea of ​​killing him.

The opponent's current show of weakness is merely a prelude to a better attack later.

Shiraishi E didn't kill her immediately; instead, she wanted to play around with the female assassin.

He gently lifted her chin with his long, slender fingers and said, "Alright, let's see how you perform!"

Pu Siqinglan suppressed her trembling and slowly unbuttoned his shirt with her slender fingers, then pulled him into the bathroom.

Her movements were gentle and practiced, as if she were truly just a woman trying to please a man.

But out of the corner of her eye, she kept scanning the room, searching for anything she could use as a weapon.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Pu Siqinglan knelt beside the bathtub and carefully washed his back.

Warm water flowed over her trembling fingers, and she noticed that Shiraishi E had slightly closed her eyes.

Her right hand stealthily reached for the razor blade hidden under the bath towel, which she had concealed when he wasn't looking.

The blade gleamed coldly under the light; a single, gentle stroke was all it took.
However, at this moment, Pu Siqinglan suddenly felt inexplicably irritable.

It felt like if I made that movement, I would be the one to die in the next second!

Then, she suddenly realized that her reflection had appeared in the bathroom mirror!
Pu Siqinglan was startled and quickly let go of his hand!

She was so eager to kill him that she didn't even notice this!

Pu Siqinglan continued to rub and massage the other person's back, serving him discreetly!

Over the next half hour, Pu Siqinglan tried various methods.

When Shiraishi E was on the phone, she quietly reached for the glass on the bedside table.

As he turned away, she tried to strangle him with her underwear.

But before each action is about to be taken, a strange sense of unease would well up in my heart.

This feeling led Pu Siqinglan to decisively abandon the assassination attempt!
She didn't know how the other person noticed her movements, but she knew that if she made a move, she would be finished!

So they waited and waited, and waited and waited.

Pu Siqinglan waited until the service was over, but still couldn't find a good opportunity.

Inside a takoyaki shop on Dotonbori Street.

Sonoko and Kazuha sat on a stool, each holding a hot takoyaki.

The light from inside the room shone on Sonoko's excited face as she blew on the steam and eagerly brought up the topic.

"Kazuha, what do you think is the purpose of dating?" Sonoko suddenly asked, the takoyaki on her fork still steaming.

Kazuha was taken aback by the question and almost choked on the food in her mouth: "Cough cough... Isn't dating just dating? If you like someone, just date them... Why would there be any ulterior motive?" "NONONNONO, wrong! You're completely wrong!" Sonoko shook her head, waving her fork exaggeratedly, almost throwing the takoyaki away.

She earnestly advised, "The purpose of dating is to make yourself happy, isn't it? Otherwise, why date? To make yourself uncomfortable? To make yourself cry your eyes out?"

Hearing this, Kazuha blinked and nodded thoughtfully: "What you said seems to make sense! If being in a relationship makes you cry every day, then it's definitely better not to be in one! It's just making yourself uncomfortable!"

“Right!” Sonoko proudly raised her chin and continued, “I’m super happy when I’m with Ei! That’s enough.”

"Hmm, I can tell you're happy and content!" Kazuha hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "But... Ran also often gets along very well with Shiraishi-kun. Aren't you jealous?"

"Hahaha!" Sonoko burst into laughter and said, "Jealous? Why would I be jealous?"

"Xiaolan is my best friend! If she's happy, how could I not be happy for her?"

"No, that's not it," Kazuha quickly said. "I'm happy for my friend's happiness, but—"

Before she could finish speaking, Sonoko interrupted, "Kazuha, let me ask you, is a man more important or your best friend?"

"Of course my best friend is more important!" Kazuha answered without hesitation.

"That settles it!" Yuanzi slammed his hand on the table, startling the diners around him.

She confidently speculated, "You can find another man, but you might never meet another best friend like Xiaolan in your entire life! Of course you should cherish her!"

“That’s right, that’s right! You can’t just find good friends whenever you want!” Kazuha nodded in agreement.

But then she suddenly thought of something: "But... what will happen when we get married? You and Xiaolan can't both marry Baishi at the same time, can you?"

"Hahaha!" Sonoko laughed so hard she almost fell over, and said, "Kazuha, you're thinking too far ahead!"

She wiped away the tears of laughter: "Who can predict the future?"

"We'll worry about the future when it comes; being happy now is the most important thing! Suffering first doesn't guarantee sweetness later, but sweetness first is definitely true sweetness!"

Kazuha looked at Sonoko's carefree demeanor with envy and admiration in her eyes.

Just then, Sonoko's phone rang.

"Hello? Emi?" Sonoko answered the phone, her voice instantly becoming eight octaves sweeter: "Saw a friend? Want to catch up? Come find us in an hour? Okay, okay~"

She hung up the phone and continued to persuade He Ye, saying, "Besides, there are advantages to having three people. For example, if the three of us go out together, I won't have to choose between Hui and Xiao Lan, and I won't neglect Xiao Lan because of my relationship."

Kazuha couldn't help but think of some of her friends, whom she had neglected because she had gotten boyfriends.

This made her realize that what Sonoko said made some sense.

Sonoko took a bite of takoyaki and added vaguely, "Besides, expecting men to go shopping with us? That's unrealistic!"

Ye nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing, recalling Heiji's utterly dejected expression every time he accompanied her shopping.

Seeing Kazuha's thoughtful expression, Sonoko immediately realized that her trickery had worked.

She pressed on, saying, "Besides, wouldn't it be a shame not to seize a man as outstanding as Hui?"

"The fact that Xiaolan and I are competing at the same time means that we both have equally good taste in men!"

"Furthermore, as friends, there should be healthy competition. Don't break off the friendship out of spite because you lost!"

"........."

Kazuha nodded repeatedly, finding it to be very reasonable!
In the bustling Osaka night market, Sonoko used all her charm to try and persuade Kazuha.
