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

The bright red blood stained the seawater, making it look like a giant red peony in bloom from afar.

Waves surged in, gradually fading the red color.

But the lingering fishy smell still hung in the air, making one's heart pound.

Ran, Sonoko, and Yukiko, exhausted, swam slowly toward the shore in a rather unladylike, frog-like swimming style.

The movements were far from elegant; in fact, they were rather clumsy, like three pieces of seaweed that had been soaked in water until they were soft.

Finally, they swam to the shallow water. The three of them practically tumbled to their feet, bent over, hands on their knees, panting heavily.

Immediately, the three of them scooped up seawater and splashed it on their faces, arms, and legs to wash away the bloodstains.

The pale pink water stains on her snow-white skin were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

After confirming that there was no obvious blood on their bodies, they staggered onto the beach, then collapsed onto the beach chairs as if they had been drained dry.

Sonoko threw herself into the chair, limbs outstretched, face up, like a dried salted fish.

Xiaolan was curled up on the chair, her body turned to the side, her hands wrapped around her knees, her eyes still somewhat unfocused.

Yukiko leaned back in her chair, head tilted back, eyes closed, her chest heaving violently.

None of the three spoke; they remained silent for a long while. It felt so good to be back alive and feeling the sea breeze.

Looking at these three "greenhorns" in this state, Lin Shen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He walked to the ice bucket next to him, took out three glasses, poured several glasses of chilled lemonade into them, and handed them to them one by one.

Then he leaned against a nearby pillar and said with a smile, "You guys are really amazing. Such a large group of sharks charged at us, and you didn't even panic."

"I'm prepared for you guys to be so scared that you'll drop your guns and run away."

Sonoko took the cup and gulped down a large mouthful, the icy liquid sliding down her throat.

She then felt like she had come back to life.

She put down her cup, wiped her mouth, and said with a smug, relieved tone, "To be honest, I was really scared at first! My legs were shaking!"

"But after playing for a while, I realized... those sharks weren't all that scary! They weren't much more frightening than when my mom gets angry!"

Xiaolan took the water, said "thank you" softly, and then took a sip herself.

She put down her cup, thought for a moment, and said with a lingering fear in her voice, "Yeah... it was really scary at first, especially when they rushed at me with their gaping maws. My mind went completely blank."

"But after I shot them, and saw them bleed and run away, I... I wasn't so scared anymore."

Yukiko took the cup, took a big gulp, and then let out a long breath: "This is the most exciting experience of my life, bar none."

"I hope I don't have nightmares tonight."

As she spoke, she patted her chest.

After the three of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.

That tension seemed to be completely released at that moment.

They immediately started talking, and the three of them began to chatter away, recounting what had just happened.

Sonoko put down her cup, stood up, and gestured excitedly to describe her "heroic deeds": "You know what? A huge shark charged at me, its mouth was wide open!"

"I didn't panic at all, I just fired a burst of bullets! It turned and ran away!"

Lin Shen, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but sneer: "All I saw was you trembling and firing wildly, the bullets were going way off course."

Sonoko blushed, glared at him, but refused to admit defeat: "Well... it's normal to be scared! But I really wasn't scared afterward! Don't you think so!"

Ran and Yukiko couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere finally became more relaxed.

The sun shone warmly, and the sea breeze blew gently. The four people sat on the beach chatting and laughing, as if the thrilling battle they had just experienced was just a strange dream.

Just then, two figures walked towards them from the direction of the villa in the distance.

It's Ayako and Conan.

Sonoko tensed up immediately. Almost reflexively, she sat up straight, lowered her voice, and spoke rapidly: "Listen to me, you absolutely cannot tell anyone about hunting sharks underwater just now, understand?"

"Especially my sister! If she finds out, she'll definitely yell at me, and she might not let me go out anymore!"

Xiaolan nodded, her expression serious as if she had received an important mission: "Yes, I'll keep it a secret!"

"If Conan finds out, he'll definitely tell my dad, and then my dad will scold me again."

Yukiko nodded in deep agreement, her tone carrying the helpless tone typical of an elderly mother: "Conan's mouth is unreliable."

"If he finds out, he'll definitely turn around and tell Yusaku."

"By then, he'll definitely be nagging me!"

She mimicked Yusaku Kudo's tone perfectly, making Sonoko and Ran almost burst out laughing.

Lin Shen watched with great interest; it was quite an eye-opener for him.

These three women, who were clearly warriors who had driven away an entire swarm of sharks, were now carefully covering up the truth, as if they were hiding some shameful secret.

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's keep it a secret."

Sonoko quickly raised her glass, like waving a flag, her tone carrying a sense of sacred ritual: "Okay! Then this will be a secret between the four of us! No one is allowed to tell!"

Ran and Yukiko raised their glasses together, and the three glasses clinked crisply in the air, thus forming a "secret little group" among the four of them.

When Ayako and Conan approached, the group had already resumed their standard vacation smiles, as if nothing had happened.

Ayako glanced at their wet hair and swimsuits and asked, "Aren't you playing volleyball anymore?"

Sonoko quickly chimed in, putting on a matter-of-fact expression: "We're done playing! We played for quite a while, and we're so tired!"

Afraid that Ayako would press further, she quickly changed the subject, her gaze falling on Conan. "By the way, Conan, how are you? Still have diarrhea?"

Conan glanced at Lin Shen and knew that the other party had kept his secret.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled obligingly, "Mmm, much better!"

"The doctor said it's nothing serious, and I just need to rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately chimed in, "Then you'd better be careful from now on, you can't drink so many cold drinks, okay?"

Conan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I understand! I'll definitely control myself in the future!"

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Xiaolan stood up with a smile: "Then I'll cut some watermelon for everyone! There are still a few chilled watermelons in the refrigerator, I'll go get them."

Lin Shen watched Xiao Lan get up and go to cut the watermelon, and silently sighed in his heart—women are born actresses!
