Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 124 I bet your gun is empty!

Pu Siqinglan looked at the Metropolitan Police Department plane that had arrived on the cruise ship and felt very bad because she had just spent a lot of effort but had gained nothing.

Not long ago, photographer Han Chuan showed off his collection to Pu Siqinglan, including a ring belonging to Maria, the third daughter of Nicholas II.

As Pu Siqinglan looked at this person who dared to lay a finger on the treasures of the Romanov Dynasty, her killing intent grew ever stronger.

However, she also noticed that someone seemed to be watching her, but each time she looked over, no trace was revealed, so she hesitated to take action.

It wasn't until just before lunch that she finally found a suitable opportunity to escape everyone's sight, but unfortunately, although she had killed the person, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the ring.

More importantly, with the arrival of Inspector Megure, she also noticed that the police officers' gazes lingered on her intentionally or unintentionally, which made Urako Aoran feel very uneasy.

As an assassin, Pu Siqinglan had great confidence in her intuition, so she had already quietly moved closer to Xiangshang Natsumi.

If anything unusual happens, she will immediately take the person with the information about the other egg of memories hostage.

When Inspector Megure noticed Urako Seiran's movements, his heart sank. He instinctively sought help, glancing past Kogoro Mouri and then at Heiji Hattori, who had just arrived and informed him of Urako Seiran's identity.

Pu Siqinglan sensed something was wrong and looked at Hattori Heiji. Her eyes were fixed on him. She knew that this boy from Osaka often appeared near her in the morning. Could it be that this boy was the one observing her?

Just then, a police officer said to Pu Siqinglan somewhat warily, "Miss Pu Siqinglan, could you please come over here for a moment? We have some questions for you!"

It was this sentence that made Pu Siqinglan's face completely darken, because when calling other people's names, this police officer addressed them as Mr. Mori, Chairman Suzuki, and Mr. Inui, but only when facing her did he call her by her full name, which was obviously a warning to her.

Although she didn't know when it was exposed or why the police hadn't taken action yet, Pu Siqinglan knew that continuing to act like this would be tantamount to sitting and waiting for death.

“Okay.” Pu Siqinglan nodded, but just as she passed Xiaolan, she used her skillful fighting techniques to unexpectedly subdue her.

Seeing this, the officers immediately drew their guns and pointed them at Pu Siqinglan. Inspector Megure said with a grim expression, "You're surrounded. Give up the fight!"

Seeing the officers' actions as if they had anticipated it, Pu Siqinglan sneered and pressed the gun against Xiaolan's head, saying, "Don't move! Put down your guns and prepare a yacht for me immediately!"

"What? Miss Qinglan, what exactly is going on?" Xiaolan tried to struggle, but found that she couldn't exert any strength at all, and asked in disbelief.

Kidd sighed as he looked at the unreliable police officers around him, then placed his gun on the ground, raised his hands, and slowly walked forward, reciting information about Pu Siqinglan:

"Pusqinglan, a Russian Romanov dynasty researcher, is also an Interpol-wanted assassin codenamed 'Scobbin,' who collects Romanov dynasty artifacts and treasures around the world."

"Don't come any closer! Stop!" Pu Siqinglan frowned, coldly addressing the policeman in front of her. For some reason, a bad premonition rose in her heart. However, upon hearing this, Kidd smiled and did not stop. Instead, he continued recounting Pu Siqinglan's actions over the past few days, including why she attacked Kidd and why she shot the photographer Han Chuan, until he was less than two meters away from Pu Siqinglan before finally stopping.

Pu Siqinglan looked at Kidd, about to question him about whether he was worried about the safety of the hostages, when she heard Kidd take out a coin and speak first:

"Want to shoot? Fine, but before that, let's make a bet: either you get arrested, or I die. How about it?"

Upon hearing Kidd's words, Pu Siqinglan felt a strong sense of foreboding and questioned him, "What do you mean?!"

Kidd smiled, then his eyes changed, instantly tearing away Officer Shiratori's facade and revealing a confident smile, saying, "It's simple, I bet your gun isn't loaded!"

"Kid?" Everyone present looked at the familiar white-clad Phantom Thief Kid skin with shocked expressions, especially Inspector Megure and the other members of the Metropolitan Police Department.

While having the help of a magician like Kid was certainly a good thing, they hadn't even noticed that Inspector Shiratori was in disguise. Thinking about the impending reprimand, Inspector Megure's face darkened.

"Impossible!" Looking at the unharmed Phantom Thief Kid in front of her, Pu Siqinglan was incredulous. She clearly remembered that she had shot the Phantom Thief Kid in the right eye and knocked him down. How could he possibly be standing in front of her now?

If the person in front of her really was that mysterious phantom thief, and he was catching her off guard, Pu Siqinglan really wasn't sure whether her gun was loaded or not.

While Pu Siqinglan hesitated, Kid was also puzzled. Logically speaking, Xiaolan should have been able to break free when Pu Siqinglan was distracted, so why didn't she make a move?

Just then, Ran saw Kid's all-too-familiar face up close. Although he was wearing some disguise, Ran could still recognize that it was the same face as Shinichi Kudo, and she was shocked for a moment.

Suddenly, Xiaolan realized what was happening and immediately used karate to throw Pu Siqinglan, who was still hesitating, over her shoulder, sending the pistol flying into the corridor.

Upon seeing this, numerous police officers immediately swarmed forward and apprehended Pu Siqinglan.

With the two officers subduing him, Inspector Megure finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Kaito Kid. But the moment he turned around, Kaito Kid was no longer there. Considering that Kid had been a great help, Inspector Megure didn't pursue the matter further.

"BOOM!" An explosion rang out, and at that moment, a second goal was scored.

"Don't move!" Pu Siqing's voice came from behind Inspector Megure.

Just as Pu Siqinglan was captured and everyone looked at Kid, Pu Siqinglan threw a grenade into the distance to attract attention. Then she used a small poison needle she was carrying to knock out two police officers. She also took the officers' guns and quickly rushed to Sonoko's side to hold her hostage.

"Ha, it's truly a case of being defeated by Kidd, and being made by Kidd too!" Pu Siqinglan panted heavily, grinning menacingly at the assembled police officers.
"Now, everyone put down your guns and come over here. Don't even think about trying any tricks. No matter what you do, I will shoot!"
