Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 69 Conan: Has the situation changed?

With the huge noise brought by the arrival of the helicopter, the dark shadow that had been monitoring the clinic was subdued neatly and quickly.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaolan is worthy of being the strongest member of the protagonist team. Her control of strength is just right.

A knife struck Shadow-Lord's neck, and the observer rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Cutting the back of the neck with a knife is something that only brave and skilled people can do. If you make a mistake, you can easily "cut someone to death".

I don’t know how much suffering the murderers in Beika Town have suffered to allow Xiaolan to practice such a superb knife-hand technique - without saying anything else, Tachibana Seiji can only silently cheer for them in his heart.

strong!

Tachibana Shizuka ran to the nearby grove, found a stick of suitable length, and brought it back. He casually took out a rope and fastened Black Shadow to the stick. Then, he and Xiaolan carried Black Shadow towards the clinic, one in front and one behind.

Sonoko, who was explaining the situation to her bodyguard in the clinic, saw the actions of Tachibana Seiji and Xiaolan through the window and fell silent.

Are these two cosplaying as Moonshade Island cannibals? Or are they preparing to slaughter the Lunar New Year pig? Can't they be a little serious in such an urgent moment?!
After entering the clinic, Tachibana Seiji and Xiaolan threw the "New Year Pig" on the ground at the door, told the bodyguard the identity of the black shadow, and greeted Asai Makoto, who was standing outside the crowd with a complicated expression.

"Alright, Dr. Asai, we're safe now. The Metropolitan Police will arrive on the island in about 20 minutes.

It would be unreasonable not to find out anything after making such a big fuss. Don't worry, none of your enemies will escape."

"Is it that simple?" Asai Makoto had a complicated expression. Revenge had troubled him for many years and had become his inner demon.

He even considered killing someone for revenge. But now Tachibana Seiji told him nonchalantly that the drug trafficking gang on Yueying Island would be eradicated tonight, which made him not know what to feel for a moment.

"It's that simple. Hard times will always pass, and the future will always be bright." After saying a few words to Asai Makoto, Tachibana Shizuka joined Hattori Heiji.

"Well, this trip wasn't in vain, was it?"

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "To be honest, I still prefer my old way of solving cases."

"Yeah, I understand." Tachibana Shizuka could understand. Hattori Heiji was a typical hot-blooded person. He advocated personal heroism and wanted to turn himself into the leading man of a Hollywood blockbuster.

The Moon Shadow Island incident was truly useless to him. You said there was some reasoning, right? Yes, but it wasn't much, and it wasn't complicated.

You said it would be a big scene. Soon the police from the Metropolitan Police Department will come to the island to arrest people. It is hard to say how many villagers will be left on this island. It is indeed a big scene, but it has nothing to do with Hattori Heiji.

It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to throw it away. This is the true inner reflection of Hattori Heiji about the Tsukikage Island incident, but he also has to admit that Tachibana Shizuka's approach is correct and safe.

"Okay, don't be so sullen. How about this, next time you come to Tokyo, I'll find you something reliable and useful to do?
It will definitely satisfy your cravings and make your trip worthwhile."

Tachibana Shizuka directly made a blank check. Anyway, once Hattori Heiji went out, he would definitely attract murder cases with him, and he would be able to bring about "disaster" without having to do anything.

What's more, if things don't work out, we still have Conan. How can the murder of Hattori Heiji be missing in Beika Town?
.
That night, after the police arrived on the island, Tachibana Shizuka and his team took a helicopter from the Suzuki Group back to Tokyo.

After they left, Moon Shadow Island was bustling with activity all night long.

A large number of police officers arrived on Tsukikage Island in batches, and immediately began a targeted arrest and investigation based on the intelligence they received from the Suzuki family. Tachibana Shizuka and Ran's joint efforts to capture the underlings also played a significant role. Following the clues and pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud are the specialties of the Investigation Section.

After a series of interrogations, the source of the case was traced back to the current village chief of Yueying Island, starting from the captured minions.

Moon Shadow Island is surrounded by the sea, and the entire village and even the entire island are not very large, which greatly facilitates the police's arrest.

The interpersonal relationships on the island are not complicated, and can even be said to be extremely simple, which greatly facilitates the police's investigation of Yueying Island.

The Metropolitan Police Department's deployment of such a large police force naturally could not be concealed from others, but the rich harvest on Yueying Island also gave them the right to speak out.

In the past, due to its low efficiency in solving cases, the Metropolitan Police Department was all about private Marseilles and Red Bean, but now it doesn't matter. The spokesperson of the Metropolitan Police Department can just bark loudly after arresting such a large drug trafficking gang.
.
The night Tachibana Shizuka and his group left Tsukikage Island.

Xiaolan refused Sonoko's invitation and returned to the office. After thanking the driver who sent her home, Xiaolan quietly returned to the bedroom.

After changing into her pajamas and washing up in the bathroom, she felt no sleepiness at all.

After turning on the night light on her bed and leaving it on for herself, Xiaolan went to the second floor of the office and stood in front of the window, quietly gazing at the moon in the sky.

In the living area on the third floor of the office, Conan, who was sharing a bedroom with Kogoro Mouri, was fast asleep. No one knew what he was dreaming about, but he was tossing and turning with a frown on his face.

After a while, Conan woke up slowly and subconsciously glanced towards the door.

Conan knew that Xiaolan, Shizue Tachibana and the others were traveling together, but Conan did not go with them.

Is it that he doesn't want to? No, it's that he can't.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Xiaolan recently. During the conversation, she always seemed to want to take me to the hospital.

If this topic had been brought up openly, Conan might not have cared. But Xiaolan's evasiveness made Conan feel strange and made him feel guilty.

In order to prevent himself from being forcibly taken to the hospital for examination by Xiaolan, Conan cleverly chose to go to another place to handle the case with Maori Kogoro, which also caused Conan to lose the "supervisory rights" of this trip.

Well. I heard that Sonoko is with them, as well as Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha from Osaka. So Tachibana Shizuka shouldn't do anything, right?
In a hazy and uneasy mood, Conan noticed the light coming through the crack of the door - is Xiaolan back?

how come?
Conan suddenly woke up. Didn't Xiaolan say she would be back at the office tomorrow night? Why did she suddenly come back so late at night?

Conan climbed out of bed, carefully opened the bedroom door, and looked next door.

Sure enough, the light came from next door. Xiaolan's door was not closed, so Conan walked in and found that there was no one inside.

From the living area on the third floor to the office area on the second floor, Conan saw Xiaolan standing in front of the window gazing at the bright moon at the door of the office area.

She seemed to be thinking? Struggling? Confused? Or perhaps making a decision?

After all, Sherlock Holmes's reasoning couldn't analyze Xiaolan's current thoughts. Conan knocked on the door gently: "Sister Xiaolan?"
