Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri
Chapter 737 The Sacrificed Police Officer
Upon hearing Lin Xiuyi's words, the girls were momentarily stunned, and their minds simultaneously recalled the scene of lifting the thin blanket earlier.
In the heat of the moment, I was only concerned with panic and worry. Now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, I realize that Lin Xiuyi was completely naked at the time. There were no obvious wounds, not even a bruise.
"should not……"
Yukiko instinctively opened her mouth to respond, but before she could finish her sentence, she caught a glimpse of Hayashi Shuichi's ambiguous smile and suddenly realized what was going on.
This guy is deliberately trying to make them recall the embarrassing scene from earlier, just to tease them!
Realizing this, Yukiko's face instantly turned bright red. She glared at Hayashi Hideaki with embarrassment and anger: "You, you bad guy! Did you do that on purpose?!"
"Okay, stop making trouble."
Watching the interaction between the two, Ikebab Shizuka shook her head, both amused and exasperated, and gently smoothed things over.
"Since you're alright, hurry up and get up, wash up, and have breakfast. It'll get cold if you don't eat soon."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of Lin Xiuyi's bedroom first.
"When we have breakfast later, you must tell us everything that happened last night in detail, without hiding anything!" Tomizawa Chikage pouted and followed Ikenami Shizuka out.
Reiko, Midori Orikasa, and Yukiko also left.
Before leaving, Reiko turned back and reminded him, "Hurry up, Onii-chan!"
The bedroom fell silent instantly, leaving only Lin Xiuyi and Fei Yingli.
Sunlight filtered through the sheer fabric onto the floor, and the air still carried the mingled scents of the girls, creating a warm atmosphere tinged with a subtle, ambiguous feeling.
Lin Xiuyi coughed lightly, breaking the silence.
"This, how come you..."
He was interrupted by Eri's cold voice halfway through his sentence.
The girl stood there, arms crossed, brows slightly furrowed, her sharp eyes fixed on Lin Xiuyi, her tone carrying an unquestionable tone of questioning.
"You weren't uninjured, but rather your injuries have healed, right?"
Faced with Eri Kisaki's questioning, Hideaki could only give a dry laugh, offering no direct answer, which was tantamount to admitting it.
The reason he chose to sleep naked after returning from the dock last night was because, in addition to the injury on his right hand, he also had many marks left by spiders with special fine threads.
The thin threads were as sharp as knives, leaving red marks on his body as they wrapped around him, causing him pain that kept him tossing and turning at night.
Fortunately, his body recovered exceptionally well. After just one night's sleep, the marks from the straps disappeared completely, and even the cut on his right hand healed, leaving only a trace of blood on his cuff.
The other girls, unaware of his physical condition, only saw that he had no injuries and assumed that he was fine last night, with only minor scrapes.
But as her childhood friend, Eri Kisaki knew better than anyone that Hideaki Hayashi's body had an amazing ability to recover.
Ordinary wounds heal overnight, and more serious injuries recover several times faster than normal.
He's clean now, but that doesn't mean he was really safe and sound last night.
Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth, her eyes swirling with heartache and anger. She was about to reprimand Lin Xiuyi for recklessly risking his own safety again when...
Unexpectedly, a head suddenly peeked into the bedroom doorway; it was Yukiko.
The girl peeked around the room, peering at the two people inside.
"Glasses Girl, what are you still doing here? Didn't we agree that Xiu Yi would get up and wash up, and then we would go to have breakfast together? You're not thinking of sneaking off to have breakfast alone with Xiu Yi while we're not here, are you?" Hearing this, Eri rolled her eyes, and could only swallow back the scolding that was on the tip of her tongue.
She glared fiercely at Yukiko, then turned and quickly walked out of the room without lingering.
Whew… Lin Xiuyi watched Eri Kisaki's departing figure, let out a long sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, Yukiko appeared in time; otherwise, if Eri had continued to question him, he really wouldn't have known how to explain.
Lin Xiuyi didn't dare to delay and quickly jumped off the bed and hurried to the bathroom to wash up.
The icy water splashed on his face, instantly sobering him up. The terrifying scenes at the dock last night and the spider's cold eyes resurfaced in his mind.
A moment later, Lin Xiuyi finished washing up and came to the restaurant.
The restaurant is decorated in a warm and elegant style, with a long solid wood table full of a sumptuous breakfast, including sandwiches, fried eggs, salad, milk and various Japanese snacks.
The aroma is irresistible and makes one's appetite soar.
The girls had already taken their seats and were talking quietly. When they saw Lin Xiuyi enter, they all stopped talking and turned their eyes to him, their eyes full of expectation and scrutiny, obviously waiting for him to explain what had happened last night.
Lin Xiuyi sat down at the head of the table, picked up a slice of toast, spread jam on it, and briefly recounted what had happened last night.
He deliberately omitted the most dangerous parts, not mentioning the thrill of his close encounter with the spider, the suffocating feeling of being strangled by the thin thread, or the terrifying moment when rocks flew around him during the explosion.
The story only covers some relatively mild parts, such as cooperating with Hattori Heizo to escort the terracotta warriors to the police, encountering a tunnel attack, and successfully sending the terracotta warriors onto a cargo ship after repelling unknown attackers.
Even in this simplified version, several girls exclaimed in surprise.
After all, the news had already reported in detail the tunnel attack, the tunnel explosion, and the subsequent chase in the abandoned port area. Those thrilling scenes were enough to make people's hearts ache just by being described in words.
Reiko clenched her small fists tightly, and when she heard the tunnel explosion, she couldn't help but exclaim, "How scary! Onii-chan must have been in great danger!"
Lin Xiu smiled, ruffled his sister's hair, and reassured her in a relaxed tone, "It's alright, Hattori and the police are there, nothing..."
He paused, put down the toast in his hand, and his expression became more serious.
"By the way, was there a news report about the tunnel explosion last night? Were any police officers killed?"
In the chaos last night, he was only focused on dealing with the attackers and failed to consider the subsequent casualties.
Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.
Eri Kisaki put down her milk glass, carefully recalled the news she had seen that morning, and said in a low voice,
"The morning news reported that rescuers pulled a surviving police officer from the collapsed tunnel and also recovered the bodies of two other officers. Several other officers were injured and are receiving treatment in the hospital."
Lin Xiuyi fell silent for a moment.
He knew in his heart that these fallen police officers were probably members of the rear guard vehicle that was following behind the transport truck at the time.
When the tunnel explosion occurred, the vehicles in front reacted quickly and rushed out of the tunnel in time, while the rear-end vehicle, lagging behind, had its windows shattered by falling boulders and was subsequently completely buried by the collapsing earth and rocks, with no chance of escape.
