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

Sharing Chapter 578 with you is because I consider you my best friend! (2nd update)
In the love hotel room, Pu Siqinglan lay slumped on the messy sheets, her gray hair soaked with sweat and plastered to her pale cheeks.

Her chest heaved violently; she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

This...this monster
She struggled to turn her eyes and looked at Shiraishi E, who was standing by the bed adjusting her cufflinks.

The young man looked refreshed, as if the past few hours had just been a relaxing stroll.

His white shirt remained spotless, and his breathing was perfectly steady.

“That’s quite unexpected,” Shiraishi E suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with amusement. “I thought you would make your move when I was most relaxed.”

He slowly and deliberately tied his tie. "I didn't expect you to hold out until the very end."

Pu Siqinglan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran down her spine.

It turns out he had seen through her plan all along and was just waiting for her to make her move!
At that moment, she was extremely glad that she hadn't taken action!
"I...I don't know what you're talking about." She struggled to sit up, her voice trembling. "How could I dare to say that to you?"

"Shh—" Shiraishi E gently pressed her index finger to her lips, a tender gesture that made her stiffen: "Your acting is good, but an assassin's eyes don't lie."

Pu Siqinglan's heart sank to the bottom.

She suddenly realized that she was like a mouse being toyed with by a cat, and all her struggles were within the cat's expectations.

“However,” Shiraishi E suddenly smiled, a smile that sent chills down Pu Siqinglan’s spine, “I can observe you a little longer, considering how hard you’ve been working.”

His long, slender fingers gently stroked her hair. "After all, a killer who knows how to be patient is rare."

After saying that, he picked up his suit jacket from the bedside table and walked towards the door without looking back.

The moment the door closed, Pu Siqinglan collapsed onto the bed like a puppet with its strings cut, gasping for breath.

He survived
She stared at the ceiling and suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

Ironically, she was spared death because of her "good behavior".

Shiraishi Hui took out her phone to check the signal. Just now, when Pu Siqinglan fainted, she had already bought a signal injector from the bandit shop and fired it into the other party's body.

In this way, I will be able to control Pu Siqinglan's whereabouts.

Catching Kaito Kid is too boring; he'd rather have some fun with this Russian female assassin.

He returned to the takoyaki shop and found Sonoko and Kazuha.

Just as he was about to go up and say hello, he overheard Sonoko talking to Kazuha about some rather private matters, so he didn't go up to join in. Instead, he went and ordered various flavors of takoyaki and started eating.

Sonoko was unaware that Shiraishi E had returned, and she continued to give Kazuha her love lessons.

She suddenly leaned closer and asked mysteriously, "Kazuha, you've never been in a relationship before, have you?"

Kazuha's face flushed red, and she almost dropped the takoyaki in her hand: "Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this..."

Sonoko chuckled and said, "Just answer me!"

"Well... I really don't have any," Kazuha said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hahaha!" Sonoko slapped her thigh and laughed, "I knew it at a glance!"

She continued, "Not only have you never been in a relationship, but you've also been teased about it in class, right?"

Kazuha's shoulders slumped, her eyes dimming: "Yes. Ever since middle school, people have said I'm unpopular."

She suddenly waved the bamboo skewer excitedly: "But that's not true at all! Several people have given me love letters, I just didn't accept them!!"

"I understand, I understand!" Sonoko nodded vigorously, her eyes shining with resonance. "Before meeting Ei, I was also single. Those shallow guys just don't understand!" She said with deep emotion, "It's not that we're unwanted, it's that we don't want to settle!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Kazuha excitedly grasped Sonoko's hand, the takoyaki on the bamboo skewer flying off. "That's exactly what I meant!"

She hadn't expected Sonoko to understand her thoughts so well!
Sonoko shook her head smugly: "Ordinary guys are too boring. Going on a date with them is not as good as going shopping for clothes!"

She said with great emotion, "I was a little anxious at the time, but thankfully I was patient and didn't try anything desperate!"

"And so, fate brought us together, and I met and got to know Hui, which led to many wonderful stories!"

She then gave a few examples, saying, "The feeling of hovering on the edge of life and death is incredibly thrilling! I'll never forget it in my life!"

“Yes, yes, I’ve been there too!” Kazuha nodded. She had also gone on several adventures with Shiraishi E before!

She knew very well how exciting that feeling was, and she could never forget it.

“Right, right!” Sonoko interrupted her excitedly, “This feeling of being on the brink of life and death is absolutely addictive!”

She leaned closer to Kazuha and lowered her voice, "Now you understand why Ran and I both like E so much, right? Being with him makes every day full of anticipation and surprises!"

Kazuha agreed, saying, "That's true... Experiencing these things is much more interesting than boring reading!"

Sonoko began to bare her fangs, saying, "Such a great man should definitely be shared with my best friend!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, Kazuha, why don't you give it a try?"

"Try, try what?" Kazuha almost fell off the bench.

"Why don't you try dating Ei?" Sonoko said matter-of-factly. "I can give you special permission!"

Kazuha's face turned as red as a ripe apple: "This...this isn't quite right."

Sonoko suddenly put on a stern face: "I'm only saying this because I consider you my best friend! Don't even think about it if it's anyone else! Not even allowed to get close!"

She winked mischievously. "This is a rare opportunity! Maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow!"

Kazuha bit her lip, her eyes darting around: "Then... I'll think about it."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind: "What are you thinking about?"

The two were startled and turned around to see Shiraishi E standing behind them, holding takoyaki in her hand, her gaze sweeping over them.

"Ah! Emi!" Sonoko jumped up and hugged his arm, grinning as she said, "We were saying... uh... Kazuha wants to try a new takoyaki flavor!"

"Yes...yes, yes." Kazuha quickly nodded in agreement, hoping to get away with this lie.

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow and said with some skepticism, "Really? I even heard my name."

"I meant to take you with me!" Sonoko said with a grin, changing the subject. "Now that you're back, let's go to the next place... Kazuha, lead the way!"

"Oh, um... this way!" Kazuha blushed and quickly walked ahead to avoid letting the other person see her awkwardness.

She never expected that Sonoko's thought process would be so peculiar!

However, she had to admit that there was some truth to what the other person said.

So... should I say yes or no?
Kazuha walked along, feeling somewhat conflicted.

Reason told her she couldn't agree; it was immoral.

But her feelings told her to try new things while she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have the chance to try them when she got old!
Two ideas were intertwined in her mind, and neither could convince the other.
