I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

Lin Shen started the car, drove out of the hospital parking lot, and merged into the city traffic at night.

The streetlights on both sides of the street glided past the car window one after another, and the car was quiet for a while.

Lin Shen gripped the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "Xiao Lan, call Inspector Megure and ask about the progress of the interrogation."

Xiaolan sat in the passenger seat, anxiously looking out the window.

Hearing this, she snapped out of her daze, nodded, took out her phone from her bag, found Megure's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Hey? This is Megure." A slightly tired middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, with some noise from the office and the sound of papers turning in the background.

"Inspector Megure, it's me, Ran." Ran's tone was polite but tinged with apology: "I'm sorry to call you so late."

"I just wanted to ask, what did you find out about the killer my dad caught?"

"Did anyone implicate any accomplices?"

There was a two or three-second silence on the other end of the phone, then Inspector Megure's somewhat helpless voice came through: "Ah... it's Ran."

"We're intensifying the interrogation now, but the killer is very tight-lipped and won't say anything."

Xiaolan's expression darkened noticeably after hearing this.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Lin Shen reach out his hand to her, gesturing for her to give him her phone.

She paused for a moment, then said into the phone, "Um... President Lin would like to say a few words to you." Then she handed the phone over.

Lin Shen took the phone, gripped the steering wheel with one hand, held the phone to his ear, and spoke calmly, "Inspector Megure, sorry to bother you. I wanted to ask about the assassin's name."

Inspector Megure on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback.

He didn't quite understand why the president of a coffee shop would be interested in the details of this case.

But after thinking about it, and considering how many people Kogoro Mouri and this kid had saved at the villa last time, he answered anyway: "His name is Tachibana Maya. She's a girl."

"However... based on past experience in handling cases, these killers basically use false information."

"I suspect the name is fake, and the real identity has not yet been found... There is no match in the fingerprints either."

When Lin Shen heard this name, he already knew what was going on!

Isn't this the female assassin from "The Amnesiac Girl"?

He showed no sign of anything amiss, and continued in a very normal tone, "Maya Tachibana, is that right? I'll remember that."

"I'll ask a friend to help me find out. By the way... how long have you been interrogating them?"

The sound of papers turning could be heard from the other end of the phone. Inspector Megure seemed to be glancing at his watch: "It will probably take another hour or so."

"If we can't get any more information from them, we'll have to lock them up and figure out another way."

Lin Shen nodded: "Okay. I'll try to ask my friends within an hour, and I'll call you again if I have any news."

After he finished speaking, he returned the phone to Xiaolan.

Ran took the phone, thanked Inspector Megure repeatedly, and then hung up.

Holding her phone, she turned to look at Lin Shen, her tone a mixture of uncertainty, nervousness, and anticipation: "President...does your friend really know that assassin named Tachibana Maya?"

Lin Shen waited at the intersection for the light to turn red, tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingers twice, and replied in a calm and unhurried tone, "No one could possibly recognize the fake name Tachibana Maya."

These words stunned Xiaolan.

She blinked, somewhat confused. "Then... what were you saying, President?"

Lin Shen turned his head and glanced at her.

The dashboard light illuminated his face, and his eyes held a look that made Xiaolan's heart involuntarily leap:

"I was just trying to make sure the person was still in the Metropolitan Police Department's interrogation room."

"Since Maya Tachibana is still in the interrogation room, I'm going to the Metropolitan Police Department to snatch her away!!"

He said it very casually.

Xiaolan's mind seemed to have been paused for a moment.

Her mouth hung open, and she remained frozen in the passenger seat for several seconds before letting out a gasp of disbelief:

"Huh?! You...you're planning to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to kidnap someone?! You...you're kidding, right?"

Lin Shen smiled, not the kind of smile that says "Did I scare you?", but a very serious smile: "I'm not kidding. I'm serious."

"Let those police interrogate Tachibana Maya; they could interrogate her for a month and still get nowhere."

"Those police officers are all like non-stick pans, so they basically follow the procedures. Even if they can't find out anything, it's not their problem."

"Conan just said something very true... If you can rely on the Metropolitan Police Department, pigs can fly."

Xiaolan sat in the passenger seat, her mind buzzing.

She has been a law-abiding child since she was a child.

Although her father was usually carefree and irresponsible, he was never ambiguous when it came to educating her.

You must not steal, you must not lie, and you must not do anything illegal!

She never imagined that she would one day be involved in "entering the Metropolitan Police Department to snatch someone"!

Normally, she would have blurted out, "That's illegal! You can't do illegal things!"

But now, she just couldn't bring herself to say those righteous words!

Because this matter concerns the life of her father, Kogoro Mouri!

If we don't take down the assassin groups behind those killers, they'll keep coming after us!

Can Dad dodge it once, and then a second or third time?

Xiaolan was caught in a violent internal struggle.

On one side are the laws and rules she has been taught to abide by since childhood, and on the other side is her father's life and safety.

Which is more important?

This problem felt like a huge rock pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

Lin Shen did not urge her.

He continued driving, keeping the vehicle quiet for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped near a building.

Xiaolan looked up and followed his gaze. The Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building stood in the night, and the police badge on the top of the building gleamed silver-white under the lights.

He turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to look at Xiaolan in the passenger seat, and without asking her if she wanted to go, simply said, "You wait here. I'll go in and bring her out."

After he finished speaking, he opened the car door, and one foot was already on the ground.

"President—!" Xiaolan's voice came from inside the car, carrying a hint of urgency and determination.

She called out to him, "I...I'll go with you."

Lin Shen stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at her.

The overhead lights inside the carriage were on, casting a dim, yellowish light on Xiaolan's face.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes still showing hesitation, but more than anything, a firm determination that she had made up her mind.

Lin Shen looked at her for two seconds, then smiled slightly. "You don't have to force yourself. I'll go."

Xiaolan shook her head vigorously, her tone even more determined than before: "I want to go with you."

She has figured it out.

Of course, the law is very important. From a young age, her parents have taught her not to break the law!

But my father is more important than the law!

Xiaolan will never forget that after her mother left home, her father raised her all by himself.

Although he was careless, loved to drink, loved to boast, and was very slovenly, he never made her feel wronged or lacked anything!

If she sits in the car waiting today out of fear of breaking the law, placing all her hopes of saving her father on someone else, she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life!

Besides, she was fed up with the feeling of just standing by and watching.

She has been waiting all her life.

Waiting for the new case to be solved, waiting for Dad to finish work, waiting for Mom to have time, waiting for the police to resolve the issue...

She didn't want to wait any longer.

She wanted to stand up and do something herself to change the current situation!

Lin Shen looked at her face, which was full of determination, nodded, and said with a hint of genuine appreciation in his voice, "Okay. Let's do it together then."

Xiaolan took a deep breath, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.

A night breeze blew in my face, carrying the unique scent of the city at night.

She closed the car door, stood beside Lin Shen, looked up at the brightly lit Metropolitan Police Department building in front of her, and clenched her fists nervously.
