He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

“There are people guarding the first floor. When I heard the gunshots, I told them not to let anyone escape. We can check them one by one after the reinforcements arrive,” Inspector Megure said.

Thanks to his decisive action, this can be considered good news.

But Inspector Megure's expression remained extremely serious. He wondered if this matter was related to the fire at Kiyoko Yukimatsu's house.

The answer is almost certainly yes; otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that one side sets an ambush and the other side takes the bait.

Thinking about it this way, could the safe contain a trap?!

Megure's expression changed drastically, almost simultaneously.

Boom! ! !

The enormous explosion pounded in his eardrums!

Damn!

Megure's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his jaw clenched so tightly it almost bled.

But then, vehicle alarms began to sound one after another. Inspector Megure had a sudden thought. He told Kanagawa to stay where he was and quickly ran to the end of the corridor. Looking down through the light well, he saw thick smoke rising from a sparsely populated street.

He couldn't see clearly what was in the thick smoke and flames, but he could vaguely make out the wreckage of a black car.

"call--"

Megure breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be just a car bomb, not a safe explosion.

Ok……

Although a bomb attack in Tokyo is quite unusual, it's better than his lovely subordinates getting hurt.

Just in case, Inspector Megure quickly called the people who remained on the tenth floor, telling them to immediately stop cutting the safe and to move away as far as possible, and then call the bomb disposal police.

After making that phone call, Inspector Megure finally had time to think: were the people targeted by the car bomb attack below the same people attacked in the stairwell?

If so, does that mean the two people entering the room on this floor was just a smokescreen, and they've actually already run away?

Megure glanced back at the open door, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.

After a moment's hesitation, I decided to play it safe.

Besides, there are guards on the first floor, how could anyone possibly slip away?

You should know that one of them was definitely seriously injured!

"Ugh……"

On the eighth floor of this building, on the same vertical line as Megure Thirteen, Hotaru sighed softly.

"What on earth is the police doing? They managed to let someone slip away, at least one of them was seriously injured."

Xiao Lan, who had been standing to the side somewhat lost in thought, immediately brightened up upon hearing this. However, her suddenly active mind told her that the ambush had failed, and she shouldn't be happy about it...

"Didn't they kill him?" she asked hesitantly.

Ying Sheng shook his head: "I don't know either. That guy reacted very quickly. I can't be sure if my first shot hit his head. He was probably wearing a bulletproof vest, so it's even more impossible to judge his injuries afterward."

The elevator started moving upwards, and Ying Sheng turned to look at Xiao Lan:

"Let's go, we should leave."

Chapter 190 Assassin Xiao Lan Wants to Kill Them All!

After the elevator ascended past the 8th floor, Xiaolan placed her hands on either side of the elevator door and took a deep breath...

open!

The gap in the elevator door widened rapidly. Ying Sheng silently gave her a thumbs up; that's what you call unparalleled strength and power! Seeing that Xiao Lan seemed poised to swing the elevator door open in one go, Ying Sheng quickly added:

"As long as people can get in, it's fine. But we still need to close it up afterwards, otherwise it'll be too suspicious."

Xiaolan nodded, letting go without blushing or panting. The door was wide enough for someone to squeeze through. Yingsheng peeked inside, took off his black tracksuit jacket, tore it in half horizontally from under his armpit, and handed one half to Xiaolan.

"Wrap it around your hands, grab the elevator cable and slide down. Adjust the speed with the strength of your palms. As long as you relax and don't freefall, it shouldn't be a problem for you."

Xiao Lan took it, and Ying Sheng stepped in first, leaning sideways into the elevator shaft. He grabbed the steel cable with his left hand, remaining motionless. He turned to look at Xiao Lan and extended his right hand:

"Check if your coat is securely fastened. I'll grab the back of your collar and close the door first."

Xiaolan quickly zipped her clothes up to the top, stepped sideways into the elevator shaft, grabbed the elevator door with her left hand and fell to the side. She felt a force lifting her up from behind, and her pounding heart finally calmed down a little.

Although she appeared quite calm on the surface, everything that had happened before and was happening now seemed a bit too intense.

It's just like a killer movie!

Compared to her daily life in Tokyo over the past seventeen years, her life trajectory took a dramatic turn at a certain moment.

The starting point was probably the dinner I had with Shuiyue last Friday.

That song, "Für Elise".

“Your action of prying open the door just now will leave fingerprints in a strange direction. The elevator door is very smooth, and the corridor is well-lit. If the police’s observation skills are barely up to par, they can easily find them. Reach out and wipe your hand.”

Ying Sheng reminded him.

Xiaolan nodded, reached out and wiped the door with a cloth, then draped the cloth over her shoulder, and placed her hands on either side of the elevator door as before, slowly closing it.

Ying Sheng couldn't help but exclaim, "The posture is so awkward, and you can't even use your strength. Xiao Lan, you can still do this. Not only is your arm strength super strong, but your body coordination is also top-notch. You could probably be a gymnast, or even a Rockets player."

"What is a rocket soldier?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"It's similar to Iron Man in the Marvel movies, but without an anti-gravity system and AI assistance, it's quite difficult to operate." Ying Sheng smiled. "Wipe the spot inside the elevator door that you just touched."

Xiaolan assumed he was imagining the future. After cleaning up the traces, she followed the force of Ying Sheng's arm and retreated, grabbing the steel cable with her cloth-covered hand to face Ying Sheng:

"Mizuki-kun is really cautious in his actions."

"Many people look around aimlessly when they ride in an elevator. Even if two handprints don't prove anything, it's better to leave no trace."

Click——!

After a series of footsteps, the elevator doors finally closed.

Ying Sheng wrapped his right hand around the hanging strip of cloth and grabbed the steel cable, while his left hand loosened slightly, and he slowly slid down; Xiao Lan followed suit and fell steadily.

The elevator stopped once on the ninth floor, and even at a higher speed, it couldn't catch up with them.

As Ran passed the sixth floor, she heard Inspector Megure shouting:

"Listen up, you inside! You need to get the injured man to the hospital immediately, or he'll die from the blood loss! Don't resist! The police won't wrong an innocent person. Surrender and come out; it'll be better for all of us!"

"........."

Xiao Lan remained silent for two seconds. The other person had already run away. However, when she thought that she was also hiding from the police, Xiao Lan blushed and loosened her grip, accelerating her fall.

Ying Sheng chuckled, then sped up, arriving at the basement in a short while. He let go of her hand before speaking:

Have you noticed?

Xiaolan nodded: "It smells of blood."

She tapped her phone screen to illuminate the escalator counterweight beneath her feet and, sure enough, found several spots of blood. She quickly stepped back a few paces, only breathing a sigh of relief when she realized she hadn't stepped on any blood. Somewhat puzzled, she asked:

"It seems they escaped using the same method as us, but why didn't Inspector Megure notice such obvious bloodstains?"

Ying Sheng shook his head: "Even if that person doesn't die, the injury will be far more severe than this."

I suspect he was bleeding heavily, which led him to break into a house and mislead the police into thinking they were hiding inside. In reality, he found a bed sheet, wrapped it around the injured man to temporarily stop the bleeding, and then ran out.

As for the traces here, they were probably just a few drops shaken off by the force of the fall.

Xiaolan was thoughtful...

Click——!

The elevator above was descending again, and Ying Sheng quickly found the direction of the basement exit and reminded him:

"Xiao Lan, you'd better hurry up if you don't want to be crushed into a meat patty."

"..."

In the end, the elevator really did head towards the underground parking lot, but Hotaru and Ran were naturally unharmed. They hid behind a Mercedes and watched as Inspector Megure and Miwako Sato walked out of the elevator with gloomy expressions and headed out of the parking lot.

Xiao Lan's heart was pounding again; what she was doing was absolutely terrible.

I feel so sorry for Inspector Megure...

"Are you sure it was the fleeing person who committed the crime?"

Ok? !

Upon hearing Inspector Megure grit his teeth and ask that question, Ran's eyes immediately sharpened.

"It's confirmed. It's a strong man wearing sunglasses and a black top hat, with a cotton blanket on his back. The bottom of the blanket is soaked in blood, and the injured person should be inside."

He robbed a car at gunpoint on the street, and Geshan tried to chase him in his car, but was shot... alas, struck between the eyebrows. Geshan was killed in the line of duty.

Megure didn't turn on speakerphone, but in the empty underground parking lot, the voice on the other end of the phone was still quite clear and reached Ran's ears completely.

Xiao Lan's initial anxiety immediately subsided. The other party had actually killed a policeman; they were indeed utterly wicked!

And wasn't she also partly responsible for the death of that police officer in Geshan?

It's all because she didn't do a good enough job.

They didn't kill those two!

Ying Sheng raised his hand and pressed down on Xiao Lan's shoulder, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Relax, those are their sins, you don't need to carry them on your shoulders. If you really can't bear it, just think about the drought in Libya, where the land is barren and people are starving."

"........."

Xiaolan was utterly speechless. The anger and sense of mission to eradicate evil that had just risen within her immediately subsided by more than half. She turned around and glared at Yingsheng:

“Just because a natural disaster strikes in a distant place doesn’t mean that life is unimportant. Besides, as you said, things that are close at hand are different from things that are far away.”

"Hmm, so what?"

"So, let's go after them."
