Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 473 Where Did the Bullets Go?

The others felt a pang of sympathy, knowing there was no going back, and became even more reckless!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nishiyama Honji distanced himself from Princess Thorn.

"son!"

Nishiyama Honji took the pistol his father threw at him, looking completely bewildered.

Why didn't they bring this out sooner if they had it?

Of course, it's inappropriate to complain at this time.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

"shot!"

The plain and indifferent words felt like a heavy stone pressing on Xishan Benyi's chest. In all his life, this was the first time someone had given him such a sense of oppression.

Even if the other person was wearing a veil, he could still feel the contempt and mockery in their words!

Nishiyama Honji, a rich kid since childhood, couldn't stand this and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Birds in the sky were startled and flew away; the trees seemed to want to move, but the wind wouldn't stop.

No one spoke at that moment. They all stared intently at the Thorn Princess, hoping that this shot would kill her or at least extinguish her arrogance.

"Is that all you've got?"

Princess Thorns waved her hand in front of her, then held it out in front of her, tilting her head and mockingly saying, "A bit lousy!"

"This is impossible!"

Everyone was stunned by this scene!

Just now, the other party gripped the bullet?

Although the bullet trajectory was not seen, it was impossible for Nishiyama Honjo to have missed. But if it had hit, how could there have been no sound?
Princess Thorn slowly opened her palm, and everyone held their breath, craning their necks to look.

"Where's the bullet?"

Nishiyama Honji was completely dumbfounded; the other party had nothing in their hands!
"I was lying to you!"

Princess Thorn let out a light laugh.

The sound was different to other people; besides mockery, it carried a sinister, devilish grin.

So where did the bullet go?

Princess Thorn did not answer the question. In that moment of distraction, everyone was in a daze, and the storm passed by like a sudden gust of wind.

With a clanging sound, the weapons in the hands of the remaining people, including Nishiyama Benyi, all fell to the ground.

Nishiyama Honji's eyes were unfocused, and he felt that something was wrong, so he looked down.

On the ground, his own hand gripped the pistol tightly.

He raised his arm in a daze, and then saw the neatly cut wrist.

My hand

Nishiyama Honji's mind went blank, his pupils dilated for a moment, and then pain pierced his heart, almost stopping it.

The silent forest echoed with screams, and Nishiyama Honji was not the only one whose hand had been severed.

Conan's eyes widened in shock. The golden cone in Princess Thorn's hand had a blunt side; how could it possibly sever a hand? How fast and powerful must that be?

The others were so shocked by this scene that their jaws almost dropped.

Xishan Tao pulled out a second pistol from somewhere and tried to aim, but his arm wouldn't obey him at all. He lost his grip and the pistol fell to the ground.

"And you? Which hand is stained with blood?"

After Princess Thorn finished speaking, word by word, everyone in the workshop visibly trembled.

Those who are less timid may even have their trousers soaked, with an unknown liquid flowing out from under their feet.

Princess Thorn quickly dispatched Nishiyama Honji and his group, then strode into the workshop. She first glanced at Kogoro Mouri and his two companions before looking at Nishiyama Tao.

Xishan Tao opened his mouth as if to say something, but Princess Thorn did not intend to give him the chance.

Just as Princess Thorn was about to make her move, Conan suddenly shouted.

"Don't move!"

Princess Thorn turned around in confusion and saw Conan pick up the pistol from the ground, holding it with both hands and looking at her warily.

"My dad and I learned to shoot in Hawaii, so don't think I can't hit a target!"

These words were spoken to the Thorn Princess, but they were also spoken to himself to boost his confidence.

That scene was too unscientific; Conan still doesn't understand the underlying principle.

It's illogical that Princess Thorn didn't dodge anything but remained unharmed.

He vaguely remembered that there was a sound after the shot was fired, but he couldn't remember exactly where it hit.
However, the Thorn Princess did not give him time to think, nor did she care whether she was being targeted. With a "thud," the golden thorn pierced his flesh, splattering warm blood!

Xishan Tao's eyes widened, he clutched his neck, his eyes filled with utter confusion. He never imagined that he would die so inexplicably!

He's only in his fifties, and given current living conditions, he could easily live to ninety-nine. His son died, but he can have another one, so he's not too heartbroken.

But now, he's dead too.
The Nishiyama family is finished.
The scene flashed by rapidly, and the biggest behind-the-scenes boss of Mermaid Island collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

His wide-open pupils seemed to be telling a story of his reluctance to part.

A pool of blood spread out, accompanied by splashes of blood.

In an instant, apart from Kogoro Mouri and his two companions, there were no survivors at the scene.

At that moment, both Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori forgot that they knew judo and kendo, and their minds went completely blank.

Conan's expression gradually contorted, and without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

Conan fired three shots in quick succession. If he didn't intervene soon, he feared that the three of them would be the next to die.

Of course, he didn't aim for vital organs; instead, he aimed for limbs and other areas.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

The spent cartridge case hit the ground with a crisp sound, and Conan finally saw how the bullet was blocked.

The instant she fired, Princess Thorn opened her hand and used the ring on the handle of her golden cone to catch the bullet.

"Kid!"

Kogoro Mouri broke out in a cold sweat; he hadn't expected Conan to act so impulsively.

"This kid is always impulsive, why don't you just ignore him like a fart?"

Princess Thorn ignored Kogoro Mouri and stared straight at Conan. After a long while, she uttered a few words: "Sorry, I find it smelly!"

Princess Thorn frowned, walked over to Conan as if he were alone, and then squatted down.

"Reckless actions will not solve any problems. Some people and issues cannot be resolved simply through legal means."

"Is this really the way we have to go with it?"

Conan scanned the entire scene, the strong smell of blood making his throat tighten. This was something no human should do!
Among so many murderers, there was one person for the first time who filled him with immense fear and drove him to a frantic desire to bring him to justice.

Killing dozens of people in two days—can that still be called an assassin? Terrorist doesn't even begin to describe his brutality.

"There are too many people involved behind Xishan Tao. If you want to use the law to punish him, have you thought about the twists and turns behind it? Believe me, even if you really send him to jail, he will be pardoned or released on medical parole in no time."
and then?
Will he return to Mermaid Island to continue being his local tyrant, hunting dugongs and facilitating deals for money and power?

"But if that's the case, why did you kill so many people!"

Conan was still angry. Perhaps Princess Thorn was right, but why did he have to attack everyone else when he could have only attacked Nishiyama Tao?
Princess Thorn sneered, "When you were going up the mountain just now, two thugs sneaked down. You probably didn't notice that, did you?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison, wondering what the Thorn Princess meant by suddenly saying this.
