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

Lin Shen drove the car into an underground parking lot.

The lighting was dim, the parking space numbers on the cement pillars were faded, and there was a damp, dusty smell in the air.

He turned off the engine, didn't rush to get out of the car, but turned around to look at Tachibana Maya in the back seat, and said calmly, "Who bought Kogoro Mouri's life?"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Maya immediately realized that these two people were not sent by the boss to rescue her.

Rather, it was the people associated with the assassination target this morning.

As for what kind of relationship it was, she didn't really care.

Maya Tachibana leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and chuckled softly, "I knew it! How could that boss possibly send someone to bail me out of the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"According to the assassin's code, assassins cannot reveal information about missions... but anyone who believes that is a fool!"

"Since you saved me, I'll just tell you directly!"

"I don't know exactly who it is."

"I am only responsible for carrying out the tasks assigned to me by the company."

"If you want to find an employer, you can only contact my boss."

"Then, who is your boss?" Lin Shen asked, somewhat surprised.

He was prepared to use threats and inducements, and if all else failed, he would interrogate and force a confession.

I didn't expect Tachibana Maya to be so easy to talk to.

Maya Tachibana shifted her posture and began to explain in a calm tone: "Our company is, on the surface, a housekeeping and cleaning company."

"From the receptionist to the boss, they're all killers."

"The boss himself is quite well-known in this industry. He has been in the business for almost 20 years and has never missed a deal."

She paused here, a mocking smile playing on her lips, "If you're so capable, go find our boss and ask him to cancel the mission."

"But let me tell you in advance, my boss has always had a good reputation in this industry."

"Unless the employer calls to cancel in person, he won't cancel the mission no matter what happens."

"If you go to talk to him, you'll most likely just waste your time."

These words made Xiaolan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turn a little pale.

Her fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of the seatbelt, her knuckles turned white, and her expression was terrible.

She understood what he meant—that assassin company wouldn't stop easily!

In other words, even if they rescue Tachibana Maya today, the boss hiding behind the scenes will still send a second and a third assassin to find her father.

Unless the root cause is completely resolved!

After hearing these words, Lin Shen did not show the slightest tension or embarrassment.

He chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "Not bad. A wise person knows when to yield... I'm already quite surprised that you're so frank."

He glanced back at Tachibana Maya: "As for your boss's situation, don't worry, I'll get your boss's approval! Please lead the way."

Maya Tachibana nodded and said, "No problem. I also need to go back to the company to explain the situation!"

…………

A dozen minutes later, Lin Shen drove his car to a stop in front of an inconspicuous office building.

The building is located on a not-so-busy street. There is a convenience store and a dry cleaner on the ground floor. The exterior walls are covered with off-white tiles, some of which have turned yellow.

The sign on the side of the building reads "Sakura Housekeeping Service Company" in neat characters, with a smaller line below: Professional cleaning, appliance cleaning, hourly service.

It looks no different from any other housekeeping company you can find on the streets of Tokyo.

Maya Tachibana leaned out of the back seat and pointed to the fourth floor of the building: "It's up there. The entire fourth floor is ours."

Lin Shen turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and turned to look at Xiao Lan in the passenger seat: "You wait in the car."

He was already getting ready to open the car door as he spoke.

"President, I want to go too." Xiaolan's voice came from the passenger seat. It wasn't loud, but it carried a very clear determination.

Lin Shen turned to look at her and kindly reminded her, "This time it's not like breaking into the Metropolitan Police Department... There might be a gunfight, the scene could be quite brutal, and many people might die."

"You might not be able to sleep tonight if you watch this!"

Xiao Lan paused for a moment, genuinely taken aback by the statement that "many people might die."

But she quickly regulated her breathing and told herself: this wasn't the first time she had seen a dead person!

She went through so many cases with her father and Shinichi, and visited countless crime scenes!

She's seen headless corpses before, so what is there for her to be afraid of?

After repeating this to herself several times, Xiaolan raised her head and said in a tone that tried to sound as calm as possible, "I'm not afraid!"

Lin Shen stared at her for a few seconds.

He didn't try to persuade her to go back, he just smiled and opened the car door: "Okay. Then you stay behind me, don't stray too far."

He walked to the trunk, opened the lid, and pulled out an ordinary-looking travel bag.

It's dark gray, made of canvas, and the zipper is zipped up tightly, so you can't tell what's inside.

But in reality, Lin Shen had just stuffed some random things inside; it was purely for his own purposes to deceive people.

He picked up the bag and walked toward the entrance of the building.

Ran followed closely behind him, while Maya walked at the very back.

The three of them took the elevator to the fourth floor.

After the elevator doors opened, an acrylic sign hung on the wall directly opposite the corridor—"Sakura Housekeeping Service Company," with a soft white light emanating from the lightbox.

A young woman in a dark blue uniform, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, was sitting at the front desk, looking down at her phone.

She looked up after hearing the elevator doors open, her gaze first falling on Tachibana Maya, who was walking at the front. A hint of surprise appeared on her face: "Tachibana Maya?"

"Weren't you taken to the Metropolitan Police Department? How come you're out so soon?"

Her tone was casual, as if she were chatting with a colleague about something mundane.

Maya Tachibana waved her hand, her tone relaxed: "He's been rescued. This gentleman has something to discuss with the boss."

The young woman at the front desk curiously followed Tachibana Maya's gaze and looked at Lin Shen behind her.

Her gaze swept over him with a professional scrutiny, then she reappeared the standard service industry smile: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

While the other party was speaking, Lin Shen secretly began to set a trap.

He quietly pulled a pistol out of his pocket.

The receptionist's expression changed the moment she saw the pistol.

Almost instinctively, she reached into the hidden space under the front desk and, in less than a second, pulled out a pistol!

Fishing success!
