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

Lin Shen drove away from that street.

Then, he took out a remote control and pressed the button.

A loud bang came from behind.

boom--!!!

The entire car shook slightly from the explosion!

Xiaolan was startled. She saw that on the fourth floor of the building where the housekeeping company was located, all the windows were shattered by flames at the same moment!

Orange flames mixed with thick black smoke billowed from the window, and shattered glass cascaded down the sidewalk like a waterfall.

The firelight illuminated half the street, and even the roofs of the cars parked on the roadside were reflected with a flickering red glow.

Xiaolan froze in the passenger seat.

She stared blankly out the window at the burning fireball, her mind seemingly shattered by the explosion.

Maya Tachibana was also quite frightened by this scene.

Her pupils contracted sharply when she saw the burning building.

She stared at the ball of fire, her Adam's apple bobbing as she silently swallowed.

Neither of them spoke.

They had always assumed that Lin Shen carried that travel bag upstairs and that it contained cash.

The other party intends to settle this matter with cash.

That's the most reasonable guess, right?

A big boss with connections and resources went to the leader of the assassin organization with a bag full of money to negotiate and pay to have the commission withdrawn!

This is the most plausible script they could come up with!

No one would think that a boss could wipe out an entire assassin company.

However, the truth is that the travel bag didn't contain cash, but a gun!

RPG, C4, Stinger missiles...

Maya Tachibana leaned back in her seat, her gaze fixed on the receding flames outside the car window, not blinking for a long time.

She quickly tried to recall every word she had said from the time she was captured until she was rescued!

He confirmed that he had never said a disrespectful word to Lin Shen at any time, nor had he ever put on airs.

She was so glad she had chosen to cooperate. Because he had saved her, she hadn't been stubborn and had told him everything she needed to say!

Otherwise, given the way the other party does things, I probably won't see the sun rise tomorrow!

Xiaolan sat in the passenger seat without saying a word.

She watched the street scene rushing past the window; the ball of fire had already disappeared around the corner, but the scene she had just witnessed kept replaying in her mind.

She had considered the possibility of a conflict tonight.

She had considered the possibility that people might get hurt, that people might actually die...

She had even mentally prepared herself for the possibility of seeing a bloody scene before following Lin Shen upstairs!

But Xiaolan never expected the conflict to escalate to this extent!

She never imagined that so many people would die!

This is completely beyond the imagination of a high school girl!!!

The car drove in silence for a while before stopping at a bus stop.

Lin Shen stopped the car, turned to look at the back seat, and said in a calm tone, "Alright, you can get out now."

Maya Tachibana paused for a moment, as if she had just been pulled back to reality from some kind of deep thought.

After she came to her senses, her tone became noticeably more respectful than before: "Okay, okay."

She got out of the car, closed the door, and then bowed deeply to Lin Shen through the car window. Her voice clearly reached the car: "Thank you so much for the rescue tonight. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you in the future."

Lin Shen glanced at her through the car window, said nothing, only slightly curved the corners of his mouth, then stepped on the gas, and the car smoothly drove away from the station.

There are now only two people left in the car.

Lin Shen drove towards the Mouri Detective Agency.

The car was quiet, with only the low hum of the engine and the sound of the wind rushing past the window.

He glanced at Xiaolan in the passenger seat. She was leaning back in her seat, staring blankly ahead, looking as if her soul had been taken away, her expression dazed.

They clearly haven't recovered from what happened tonight.

Lin Shen did not speak to disturb her.

He knew that at times like these, she needed some space to process things herself.

He quietly slowed down the car, extending the journey by a few minutes.

The car eventually stopped downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency.

Lin Shen turned off the engine, turned his head and said softly, "Xiao Lan, we've arrived."

Xiaolan seemed to be gently pulled back to reality from a long reverie.

She snapped back to reality, blinked, looked at the familiar building outside the window, took a deep breath, and unbuckled her seatbelt.

She opened the car door, turned back to look at Lin Shen, her expression complex, and said in a low voice, "President... thank you so much for tonight."

Lin Shen leaned back in the driver's seat, waved to her, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's nothing. It's a small matter. Go back and get some sleep."

Xiao Lan nodded, closed the car door, and stood by the roadside watching Lin Shen's car drive away from the street, its taillights gradually disappearing into the night until they finally vanished around the corner.

When she returned upstairs, her steps were a little unsteady.

In a daze, she took a hot shower, changed into her pajamas, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed.

The streetlights outside the window cast a thin shadow on the ceiling through the gaps in the curtains.

She stared at the light with her eyes open, her mind filled with images from tonight!

The feeling of sweaty palms when I stormed into the Metropolitan Police Department, the pounding of my heart as I beat up the police in the corridor, the smiling face at the reception desk when the elevator doors opened, and the continuous explosions.

Even now, when she thinks back on it, she still finds it unbelievable!

This was the craziest thing she had ever done in her eighteen years of life, bar none!

She was a good child who was taught from a young age to obey the law, and she never imagined that one day she would do something so illegal and disorderly!

Of course, compared to the illegal things I did, and compared to what President Lin did later, it was simply insignificant.

Xiaolan turned over and pulled the blanket up a little higher.

She thought of Lin Shen, the coffee shop owner who usually sat in the coffee shop drinking coffee, chatting with customers with a smile, and who seemed gentle and mild-mannered. Tonight, he seemed like a completely different person!

The other person drew their gun without hesitation, fired without mercy, and walked out of the burning building with a calm expression…

Xiaolan gradually realized that something was wrong.

President Lin is too skilled... He's too adept at doing these things!

At first, she felt that Lin Shen was somewhat unfamiliar, even somewhat frightening!

But as the emotions slowly subsided, another thought began to surface.

No... Isn't the president doing all these things because of himself?

She herself told him in the parking lot that she "didn't want to go home and wanted to solve the problem with him."

She asked him for help in resolving the crisis of her father being targeted by assassins.

Lin Shen could have been sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee like an ordinary person; this matter had nothing to do with him.

But he didn't refuse, nor did he say, "This is too dangerous and I don't care." He just nodded and said, "Okay."

And then he actually did it.

The president risked everything to break into the Metropolitan Police Department, bring out Tachibana Maya, and then, carrying the travel bag, went upstairs and uprooted the entire assassin organization.

All of this started because of her plea, "President, please help me."

Xiaolan's eyes suddenly felt hot.

It wasn't fear, but a mix of inexplicable guilt and gratitude.

She was the one who asked for help, but in the end, while sitting in the car, she still felt that Lin Shen was somewhat scary!

At that moment, Xiaolan realized she had really gone too far and was being ungrateful!

She secretly made up her mind that she must thank Lin Shen in person tomorrow and express her gratitude in a sincere manner!

Should we tell Shinichi and Sonoko about this?

Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment after thinking about this.

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

She knew that once Shinichi found out, he would definitely make her turn herself in and identify President Hayashi!

However, President Lin did all these things to prevent his father from being assassinated, and it was he who begged the president for help!

If I had to put it in perspective, I'd say I'm... the mastermind behind it all?

There's also a garden.

If she finds out, she definitely won't let me turn myself in, but she'll most likely say something like, "Call me next time for something this exciting."

Lost in thought, Xiaolan gradually drifted off to sleep.
