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

Chapter 666 Little Orchid Garden Disguised as a Nurse (1st Update)
With Ran and Sonoko by their side, Shiraishi E moved silently toward the main building of the nursing home, which appeared particularly quiet in the night, using the sparse trees and shadows in the courtyard as cover.

Ran and Sonoko followed closely behind Shiraishi E, one on each side. They were both afraid of the unknown danger and filled with an irrepressible excitement, their breathing becoming slightly rapid.

Ran lowered her voice and asked softly, "Shiraishi-kun, what should we do after we go inside?"

Without turning her head, Shiraishi E sharply scanned the building ahead and replied succinctly, "Find the monitoring room first. This kind of place definitely has a central monitoring system. If we can control the monitoring room, it's like blinding them, making our subsequent operations much safer and giving us more initiative."

Sonoko nodded vigorously to show that she understood, feeling that she was also involved in this amazing plan.

The three avoided the main entrance and went around to an inconspicuous window on the side of the building.

The windows were tightly closed, and the inside was locked.

But this was clearly no challenge for Shiraishi E, who had come prepared.

He bought a small but exceptionally hard diamond glass cutter from the bandit shop, skillfully made a circular cut on the glass large enough for one person to pass through, and then gently sucked it up with a suction device to remove the glass completely.

He reached inside, fumbled to open the internal latch, and then silently pushed the window open.

"Go in." Shiraishi E was the first to nimbly flip inside, her movements as light as a cat's.

Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and, imitating Ei Shiraishi, climbed into the window one after the other. Although their movements were a bit clumsy, they managed to sneak in without any major incidents.

Once inside, Shiraishi quickly took out a flashlight, covered the bulb with a cloth to reduce its brightness, and quickly scanned the area.

This appears to be an employee break room, furnished with several tables, chairs, and lockers.

"Good luck." Shiraishi E muttered to herself, then immediately walked to the storage cabinets by the wall, took out her lock-picking tools, and quickly pried open several cabinets.

He rummaged through his belongings and found two clean nurse uniforms, handing them to Xiaolan and Yuanzi: "Change into these."

Then, he found a set of men's caregiver's clothes and quickly changed into them himself.

During the process of changing clothes, Ran and Sonoko appeared extremely excited, their faces flushed.

This scene instantly reminded them of the spy movies and anime they had seen—where the protagonists infiltrate enemy bases by cleverly changing their clothes!
This immersive experience maximized their "adventure experience" and even temporarily alleviated their fear.

After changing their clothes, the three of them took off their masks, but put on standard medical masks to further conceal their faces.

In this way, they look no different from ordinary staff members in nursing homes.

After tidying up, the three of them pretended to be nonchalant and walked out of the lounge into the quiet corridor.

They kept their heads down as much as possible to avoid direct eye contact with potential cameras or other staff.

However, just as they were walking down a corridor, looking for the stairwell or signs, a man's voice suddenly came from behind them: "Hey! You two nurses over there, come here for a second!"

A middle-aged male doctor wearing a white coat and glasses called out to Xiaolan and Yuanzi.

Ran and Sonoko froze, instinctively stopping in their tracks, and nervously looked at Shiraishi E beside them, asking with their eyes what to do.

Shiraishi E quickly glanced at the doctor, judging that the other party seemed to have no suspicions and just needed manpower temporarily.

He had a sudden inspiration and thought this might be a good opportunity for the two of them to act alone, experience things more deeply, and gather intelligence along the way.

He nodded slightly and said quickly in a very low voice, "Go, be careful... proceed cautiously and adapt to changing circumstances. If you encounter any danger you cannot handle, use the wireless earpiece to call for help, and I will get to you as quickly as possible."

Ran and Sonoko were both nervous and excited upon receiving the instructions, as this was their first time carrying out a mission "alone"!
The two nodded vigorously, then turned around and walked towards the doctor as naturally as possible.

The doctor seemed very busy and quickly explained, "You've just changed shifts, right? Perfect timing. It's time for the elderly patients in rooms 307 and 308 to have their medication and blood pressure checked. The previous nurse had something to do, so please go and take care of it. The logbook is at the nurses' station; remember to record everything carefully after you're done."

"Okay... okay, doctor." Ran and Sonoko tried to keep their voices calm.

After giving his instructions, the doctor hurriedly left in another direction, seemingly having other urgent business to attend to.

Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance, both seeing the tension and a hint of eagerness in each other's eyes.

Following instructions, they first went to the nurses' station to get the logbook and medicine tray, and then went into room 307.

There were three elderly people in the room. The two doctors carefully began to administer medication and measure blood pressure, following a simple procedure they had just learned.

Although their movements were clumsy, their attitude was very gentle and patient, which made the elderly people not suspicious.

During this process, while feeding water and medicine to a seemingly talkative elderly woman, Xiaolan tried to lower her voice and inquire in a casual tone, "Grandma, are you getting used to living here? Is it a bit noisy at night? Or... have you seen any strange people?"

Sonoko was also taking another grandfather's blood pressure, and quietly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we just arrived, and we're afraid we might not be doing things properly."

These elderly people live in nursing homes year-round, leading monotonous and boring lives. Their biggest hope is that someone will come and talk to them.

Faced with the two sweet-voiced and gentle "new nurses," Xiaolan and Yuanzi, the elderly people immediately started chatting without any reservations.

Instead of hiding anything from them, the elderly people seemed to have found someone to confide in, and they chattered about some of the things they found confusing and strange.

The old lady being fed medicine by Xiaolan squinted, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "Young lady, now that you ask, I actually know. The nights in this nursing home are a bit unsettling, you know." An old man nearby, who was having his blood pressure checked by Yuanzi, chimed in, "Yes, yes, especially near that old building at the back… the one they don't let us go to… Sometimes, in the dead of night, I think I can hear cars driving in, not just one or two!"

Another elderly woman leaning against the headboard joined the conversation, saying in a low voice, "It's not just the sound of cars... I'm a light sleeper, and sometimes I can vaguely hear... like crying? Or people arguing... but their voices are very low, and I can't make out what they're saying. When I tell the caregivers, they all say it's because I'm old and my hearing is bad, and I'm hallucinating."

The first old lady seemed to remember something and frowned: "And another thing... a nurse who used to take care of me still liked to ask about these things, but she was soon transferred to the 'special care area' in the back, and after that transfer, she was never seen again!! I advise you not to ask about these things."

"........."

The elderly residents, one after another, revealed these trivial matters that the hospital usually brushed aside.

They may not understand what these phenomena mean, but they feel strange and uneasy.

But to Ran and Sonoko, these fragmented pieces of information, like pieces of a puzzle, gradually pieced together a chilling outline: a vehicle in the dead of night, unusual noises, two completely different types of staff, the mystery of the so-called "special protection zone," and... the missing old man!

Ran and Sonoko grew increasingly alarmed as they listened, a chill creeping down their spines.

They feigned composure, continuing to gently comfort the old woman and promising to report the situation to "the higher-ups," while inwardly they anxiously wanted to immediately inform Shiraishi E of this crucial information.

-------------------

On the other side, Shiraishi E, disguised as a caregiver, walked steadily down the corridor with his head down. He looked at the structural diagram hanging on the wall and was heading towards the monitoring room.

However, just as he approached a corner, he encountered two security personnel dressed in black uniforms, with bulging waistbands clearly carrying weapons.

They immediately blocked Shiraishi E's path.

One of them, with sharp eyes, sized him up and said curtly, "Hey! Which district's caregiver are you? This isn't a place for you to wander around. Get back to your post right now!"

Shiraishi E immediately stopped, bowed slightly, and put on a humble smile, saying repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm new here and got a little lost. I'll go back now, I'll go back now..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to turn and leave.

Just as the two security guards relaxed their guard slightly, thinking he was just a clueless newbie—

Shiraishi's drawing has come to life!
His movements were as fast as lightning, without any warning!
Halfway through his turn, his right leg swept backward like a steel whip, striking the security guard on his left in the face with precision and ruthlessness!

"Crack!" A sickeningly loud sound of bone breaking rang out!
The security guard didn't even have time to scream before he passed out.

Almost simultaneously, Shiraishi E's left elbow, like a cannonball, slammed into the Adam's apple of the security guard on the right, taking advantage of the momentum of her turn!
"Ugh!" The security guard's eyes bulged out instantly, a hissing sound came from his throat, he covered his neck with both hands, and his body went limp and he lost consciousness.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye; the two well-trained security guards were killed instantly before they could even draw their guns.

Shiraishi E didn't even glance at the two people lying on the ground. Her steps didn't falter at all; in fact, they quickened, and she rushed towards the monitoring room at the end of the corridor like a cheetah.

Time is of the essence, and the commotion here has likely already attracted attention.

Upon arriving at the monitoring room, he didn't rush to push the door open. Instead, he bought a pistol with a silencer from the bandit shop, aimed at the lower half of the heavy door panel, estimated the height of the person sitting, and repeatedly pulled the trigger!

puff! puff! puff! puff!
A series of muffled gunshots rang out, and specially designed armor-piercing bullets easily tore through the door panel.

Several painful screams and cries of alarm immediately came from inside the door, along with the sound of a chair overturning!

Shiraishi remained expressionless, quickly changing magazines and emptying one magazine at different heights and positions on the door panel to ensure no magazines escaped.

After the gunfire stopped, he kicked open the bullet-riddled door of the monitoring room!

The instant the door opened—

boom!boom!
Two bullets were fired from a corner of the room, heading straight for his face and chest!
Sure enough, there were still some remaining guards hiding in blind spots trying to launch a sneak attack!
But Shiraishi E had anticipated this and had already made a sideways movement to avoid it the moment she kicked the door.

The bullet grazed the hem of his clothes and struck the wall behind him.

His gaze, like the most precise radar, instantly locked onto the shooter's location—two security personnel hiding behind the control panel.

He didn't even aim carefully; he just raised his hand and fired two shots!

puff!puff!
The bullet struck the two men precisely between the eyebrows; their faces were still filled with shock and disbelief as they fell backward.

Shiraishi E walked into the monitoring room, which was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and coldly swept her gaze over the five or six corpses lying on the ground.

Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and fired a shot into the head at each of the fallen men, ensuring that no one was left alive and preventing any accidents from happening.

After dealing with all the threats, he immediately sat down at the main console.

The screen is divided into dozens of surveillance feeds.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, quickly scanning the various screens to confirm the real-time location and movements of other security personnel; meanwhile, he activated the built-in formatting program to completely delete and erase all surveillance footage, erasing all traces of their infiltration.

Now that there's no longer any surveillance, he can be bolder in his actions.
