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

Rumbling--

Another loud bang came from the banquet hall, and the whole ship shook.

Then came the sounds of gunfire, submachine guns, metal clashing, and glass shattering, all mixed together.

The sounds kept going off one after another, like firecrackers.

These sounds came through the walls of the cabin, and although there were several layers between them, they could still be heard clearly.

Xiao Lan and Xia Jiang squatted in a corner of a rest area, their backs against the wall, their faces pale.

Xia Jiang gripped her skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white. Her voice trembled as she listened to the explosions.

"What... what exactly is going on?"

Xiaolan was also nervous, but she had experienced many cases and seen more scenes than this, so she hadn't completely panicked yet.

She shook her head and replied in a low voice, "I don't know... but judging from the sounds, it sounds like they've started fighting."

After she finished speaking, she was actually a little scared.

Fortunately, she noticed that Xia Jiang was in a bad mood and pulled her away from the banquet hall through a side door.

If they were still inside, they would probably have been caught up in that chaotic battle by now!

Xia Jiang was several years older than Xiao Lan, but at this moment she didn't act like an older sister at all. Her voice was filled with obvious panic and unease: "What...what should we do now?"

Xiao Lan looked around and saw several boxes of miscellaneous items and an overturned sofa nearby. She quickly grabbed Xia Jiang's hand and led her in that direction.

She crouched down and pressed Xia Jiang down with her, replying nervously but trying to remain calm, "Let's...let's hide first and see how things go."

Xia Jiang was pulled to squat down by her, the two of them close together, holding their breath, not daring to breathe too loudly.

The fighting went on for quite a while before the gunfire and explosions gradually subsided and finally fell silent.

Only a few sporadic gunshots could be heard in the distance, and then it was completely silent.

Xia Jiang listened intently for a while, and only after confirming that there was no more noise outside did she turn to look at Xiao Lan and cautiously ask, "What... what should we do now?"

Xiao Lan also came to her senses a little, and the first thing that popped into her mind was Lin Shen's face.

She quickly pulled out her phone, her voice filled with the urgency of "I've finally thought of a solution!": "Call the company president first! Let him come and rescue us!"

She looked down and saw that the signal was still there, so she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found Lin Shen's number and dialed it.

The phone rang twice before being answered. Before Xiaolan could even speak, Lin Shen's voice came through: "Xiaolan, where are you right now?"

He speaks very quickly, but his tone is very steady, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

Xiaolan looked around and quickly replied, "We're near the banquet hall, in the rest area outside the side door."

"There's a place with an overturned blue sofa and a few wooden crates."

Lin Shen was silent for two seconds, then said, "Stay there and don't move. I'll come find you."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Xiaolan put her phone away, turned around, and grasped Xia Jiang's still slightly trembling hand.

She squeezed Xia Jiang's fingers firmly, her voice gentle yet resolute: "Miss Xia Jiang, don't worry. We'll be safe once President Lin arrives."

As she said this, her tone was filled with undisguised trust: "He's really amazing!"

"Nothing can stop him. He will protect us."

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Xia Jiang felt a little more at ease.

But the question that had been swirling in her mind for so long finally couldn't be resisted, and she asked it:

"Xiao Lan, do you think this...could be Xiao Wuqian's?"

Xiaolan paused for a moment, opened her mouth, and after a long while, replied with some difficulty, "This... I don't know either."

She really didn't know.

She refused to believe that the man who had been so sweet with Xia Jiang on the deck during the day had become a demon wielding a submachine gun and killing people everywhere!

But she couldn't completely rule out this possibility.

Xia Jiang lowered his head, his voice filled with deep self-reproach: "If it really is Xiao Wuqian's... then it's all my fault."

"If it weren't for me, he would never have had the chance to get close to his grandfather and the others."

Her eyes reddened again, and her voice choked with emotion.

Xiaolan opened her mouth, wanting to say something to comfort her, but swallowed the words back.

Because she found that in such matters, any words of comfort seemed pale and powerless.

She could only grip Xia Jiang's hand tightly, silently telling her, "I'm here with you."

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.

Immediately afterward, Xiaolan heard a familiar voice calling out in a low voice, "Xiaolan, where are you?"

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up immediately.

She immediately pulled Xia Jiang to his feet from their hiding place and called out in the direction of the voice, "President! I'm here!"

Lin Shen, carrying a pistol, followed the sound and came over.

He walked through a corridor affected by the explosion, around a pile of broken wood and glass shards, and soon saw Xiaolan and Xia Jiang next to the overturned blue sofa.

He strode over, looked the two women up and down to make sure they had no obvious injuries, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Are you alright?"

Xiaolan nodded vigorously: "We're both fine."

Xia Jiang, however, had no time for pleasantries. She took a step forward and asked urgently, "President Lin, what were those explosions just now? Who did them?"

Lin Shen looked into her eyes, which were filled with unease, paused for a moment, and then spoke: "It's Xiao Wu."

"He killed many people. Mariko Hatamoto died at his hands. And other members of the Hatamoto family also died."

Every sentence he spoke was short, but every word was like a hammer, striking Xia Jiang's heart again and again.

Upon hearing these words, Xia Jiang felt as if all his strength had been drained away; he swayed and almost lost his balance.

Xiao Lan quickly helped her up.

Xia Jiang's tears fell like beads from a broken string. She covered her mouth, letting out suppressed sobs: "It's all my fault...it's all my fault!"

"If it weren't for me, Xiao Wu would never have been able to sneak in..."

She became more and more upset as she spoke, and her whole body trembled as she cried.

Xiao Lan stood beside her, put her arm around her shoulder, and said over and over again, "It's not your fault."

But even she herself felt that the words she said carried little weight.

She had no choice but to raise her head and look at Lin Shen with pleading eyes.

After receiving Xiao Lan's pleading look, Lin Shen said, "Miss Xia Jiang, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Even if Xiao Wu can't get close to you, he'll find a way to get close to your sister."

"Even if he can't get close to your sister, he'll still use his looks to seduce Mariko Hatamoto."

Xia Jiang paused in her sobbing when she heard this.

Lin Shen continued, "He's capable of anything for revenge."

"Whether you were there or not, he would have ended up like this today."

After hearing these words, Xia Jiang's crying gradually subsided.

She kept her head down, her shoulders were still trembling, but her emotions were noticeably more stable than before.

She raised her hand and forcefully wiped away her tears, took a few deep breaths, then looked up at Lin Shen, her voice trembling as she tried to control herself:

"President Lin, I want to go see my grandfather. I want to check if he's safe."

Lin Shen also wanted to see if Xiao Wu had succeeded, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"We happen to be on our way and need to find that brat Conan."

"You two stay behind me. Don't get separated, and don't wander off."
