Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 76 First Blood ①

Tachibana Shizuka watched helplessly as the murderer at the station did not flee in panic after killing someone, but stood there in a daze.

The screaming woman beside him did not attract his attention.

Instead, after being stunned for a while, the murderer looked around as if he was looking for something.

Then, Tachibana Shizuka and the murderer had a fateful eye contact.

'He's coming for me!'

Tachibana Shizuka had this feeling for no reason, as if in her previous life, when she was in school, she and her teacher accidentally looked into each other's eyes when the teacher was asking a question in class.

Experienced students know to avoid the teacher's gaze when they don't want to speak. At this moment, Tachibana Shizuka just felt that he was the unlucky guy who accidentally made eye contact with the teacher.

The outlaw's next action also confirmed Tachibana Shizuka's judgment - after a brief eye contact, the knife-wielding murderer simply abandoned the passers-by who were screaming beside him and rushed straight towards Tachibana Shizuka.

"So fast!" The murderer's speed shocked Tachibana Seiji. If a track and field coach saw this speed and non-standard running posture, he would probably exclaim, "What a good seedling."

But at this time, Tachibana Shizuka could no longer care about many things.

Seeing the murderer rushing towards him, Tachibana Seiji turned around and ran without saying a word.

With his current fighting ability, he was quite sure that he would not be able to deal with a knife-wielding gangster.

Xiaolan's targeted training for him was more in accordance with Tachibana Shizuka's requirements, and targeted physical training.

As for karate practice, it has remained at the stage of laying the basics until now.

This is normal. After all, Tachibana Seiji just has better recovery ability, but it doesn't mean that he is a one in a million martial arts genius.

It's great that I can still find time to lay the basics of karate during the high-intensity training that combines physical training and shooting training.

But just basic karate skills are undoubtedly not enough at this moment.

"Conan! Use your clever brain to figure out why this guy is running straight towards us!"

Tachibana Shizuka asked Conan while running hard. At this time, Tachibana Shizuka was still willing to believe Conan's big brain.

After all, Tachibana Shizuka's experience in being chased was definitely not as good as Conan's. Furthermore, with such intense exercise, it would be difficult for Tachibana Shizuka to calmly come up with a solution.

He subconsciously touched his lower back, only to remember that he had kept his pistol in his schoolbag because he needed to practice shooting.

It is impossible for Shizuka Tachibana to take the gun out of his schoolbag in front of Conan, not to mention that the knife-wielding murderer who is chasing him closely may not give him this opportunity.

Thanks to the endurance that Xiaolan has trained herself, Tachibana Seiji is able to maintain his fastest speed for as long as possible.

But the speed at which the murderer caught up with him was still faster than that of Tachibana Shizuka, so the distance between them was being narrowed very slowly.

This is a catching up question.

But Tachibana Shizuka suddenly remembered the eye contact just now and the appearance of the knife-wielding murderer. Tachibana Shizuka always felt that he looked familiar.

Conan, held in his arms, lived up to Tachibana Shizuka's expectations. He was now calmly looking around, trying to find a way out. Being targeted by such a murderer, Conan could do little more than Tachibana Shizuka.

The only items he could use at the moment were his glasses, watch, and foot stamina. Glasses were a great tool for tracking or eavesdropping, of course.

But this thing is useless when running for your life. Now it’s not Conan who is chasing others, but the murderer who is chasing them.

The anesthetic needle in the watch is usually very useful, but it is most useful during a sneak attack. Now that they are being chased, they have no conditions for a sneak attack.

What's more, the watch-shaped anesthetic gun needs to be aimed, and there is no condition for Conan to aim now.

Just like that, Tachibana Shizuka was holding it in his hand and aiming at it, not to mention whether he could hit it or not. The murderer following behind was not a fool either. Didn't he know to hide when he saw such a strange behavior?

Looking at the knife-wielding murderer's thin figure, it's obvious that he's an agile enemy.

As for Dr. Agasa's main product, Zulijian, there is even less way to use it. Zulijian is used by kicking, provided there is something for Conan to kick.

Although this place is in the "countryside", there is surprisingly little debris on the road. I think the management of the shooting club doesn't want their members to see garbage all over the ground as soon as they get off the car, so they specially hired someone to clean it up.

This resulted in Conan not finding anything that Zulijian could use for a long time.

Maybe Tachibana Shizuka's school bag?

Conan glanced at Tachibana Shizuka's schoolbag and quickly dismissed the idea. The bag didn't look particularly sturdy, so wouldn't it fall apart if he kicked it with his strength?
What's more, with the speed of the murderer behind him from the time he stopped to the time he kicked the schoolbag apart, it was enough for the murderer to rush in front of him and stab him.

What Conan found most strange was that there were clearly witnesses at the station who were closer to the scene. Why did the murderer have to go far away and chase them until now?
"Jugege, do you know the murderer?!"

"Of course I don't know him!" Tachibana Shizuka's voice sounded a bit absurd. Not only was he an outsider, but even his previous life was an honest and well-behaved child.

How could you know such a dangerous person?
"Then why is he chasing us?"

"How should I know? Maybe he's sick!" Tachibana Shizuka shouted angrily. If Conan wasn't there, he might be able to be faster, but as a grown man, he couldn't just abandon this kid, right?
Tachibana Shizuka may not be a good person, but at least he is a human being.

As the crisis behind him gradually approached, Conan's brain moved faster and faster, and finally a white needle "pierced" his brain.

"It's black clothes! Tangerine Gege is wearing black clothes!"

"What the hell? What the hell is wrong with this? What did wearing black do to anyone?"

Tachibana Seiji cursed loudly, and his brain seemed to be pierced by a white needle in the illusion. He remembered what was chasing him!

Kiichiro Numabuchi, yes, it’s him!
Because of his talent for running fast, the winery tried to train him to be an excellent killer. However, he couldn't stand the brutal training in the winery and found an opportunity to escape.

And because he had been traumatized during training at the winery, like Conan, when he saw people wearing black clothes, he thought that they were people sent by the winery to capture him!

No wonder he just killed a man in black at the station for no reason, and no wonder he was chasing me now!

If the person behind him was really Kiichiro Numabuchi, Tachibana Shizue suddenly glanced at Conan who was in his arms.

Is this kid implicated by me this time?
