I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Evidence? Of course I have evidence."

Serabelle loosened her hands that were resting on the table, stood up straight, smiled, and snapped her fingers lightly as if she had calculated the time perfectly.

The next second, everyone's eyes shifted and a figure walked in from the restaurant door.

It turned out to be Inspector Shiratori who had not been present.

At this time, he was holding two evidence bags in his hands, one of which contained a semi-automatic pistol, and the other contained a silencer.

"This is what we found in Miss Pu Siqinglan's suitcase. There is exactly one bullet missing from the magazine. As for whether the caliber of the bullet inside is the same as the one that killed Mr. Kanchuan Long, we will get the answer after we transport the body back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a detailed autopsy. But before that..."

Shiratori turned his gaze to Pu Siqinglan, whose expression had completely changed since he saw him enter the restaurant.

"Miss Pu Siqinglan, do you have anything else to say?"

"..."

Still silent.

Explanation? Of course there is none.

On the one hand, she couldn't explain where the bullet went. On the other hand, it is illegal to possess professional firearms in Japan. Generally, an air gun or a shotgun is enough for civilians. As for a pistol with a silencer, its origin is definitely questionable.

In other words, no matter what, as long as she chooses not to resist, a trip to the Metropolitan Police Department is inevitable.

But this is the only thing Pu Siqinglan would never allow.

Snapped!

With a crisp slap, Serabelle's wrist was firmly grasped by a seemingly slender and weak female hand.

"Ah?"

Serabelle let out a strange cry in pretended surprise.

Pu Siqinglan pulled hard and directly pulled the former out from the booth and pulled him in front of her, while at the same time, she used her other arm to strangle the boy's throat with her elbow.

"Nobody is allowed to move!"

Pu Siqinglan shouted loudly, shocking everyone present.

It was not until then that everyone saw clearly that she was holding a table knife in her hand. The tip of the knife was flashing a cold silver edge, and the blade was directly against Serabelle's neck.

"Brother Sera!"

Inspector Megure was horrified and wanted to step forward to rescue her, but because Pu Siqinglan was holding her hostage, he could only stand there with his eyes wide open.

Suzuki Shiro even stood up and stretched out his hands to dissuade him: "Don't mess around! You probably just want the eggs, right? I can give them to you, but don't hurt anyone else!"

“Ah~ha~ha~”

When everyone was in shock or panic, Serabelle, who was held hostage, was actually in the mood to laugh.

However, his laugh was not the kind of pretentious and contemptuous laugh that the protagonists in the movies have, but more like a perfunctory and emotionless dry laugh.

"Miss Pu Siqinglan, your next sentence is - I admit that your reasoning is very interesting, but now you should worry about your life."

"I admit your reasoning is interesting, but... eh?"

It was really like rehearsing lines, the exact same words came out of Pu Siqinglan's mouth. She didn't realize something was wrong until halfway through her words, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But it was this moment of distraction that became the cause of her defeat.

Serabelle turned her head slightly and said, "A real wolf won't just eat the meat that's thrown to its mouth. You've chosen the wrong target, Miss Qinglan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jerked his head back.

boom!

The hard back of the head collided heavily with the fragile bridge of the nose, and Pu Siqinglan's head tilted back for a moment. The dizziness caused by the impact made her hands, which were holding each other, relax briefly, and dark red spots splashed onto the ceiling.

Serabel grabbed the wrist of the knife-holding female scholar from the Romanov dynasty with her left hand, and her right hand hung naturally, and the silver thread in her cuffs flowed smoothly into her palm.

That's also a table knife!

Without any mercy, Serabell stabbed the latter's thigh with a knife.

"what!"

The continuous severe pain made Pu Siqinglan unable to hold back and finally scream out in a trance. She lost her balance and was about to fall backwards.

Serabelle turned around and kicked him in the abdomen, knocking him three or four meters away.

Looking at the vicious cheongsam beauty who could only curl up like a shrimp on the ground and kept coughing and wailing, Inspector Megure could not understand what he should do at this time. He strode forward decisively, took out handcuffs from his body, handcuffed her with his experienced method, and then looked up and said to the two accompanying police officers.

"Immediately send a helicopter to take her back to the Metropolitan Police Department for treatment and interrogation!"

"Yes!"

So Pu Siqinglan was taken away like this.

After watching the two men of Ming Xian leave with their men, Inspector Megure came to Serabelle and looked her up and down with concern.

"Brother Sera, are you... okay?"

"It's okay. I knew she would most likely take hostages after being exposed, so I made preparations in advance and went to her side."

The preparation work that Serabelle was talking about was naturally the table knife.

Hearing that everything was alright, Inspector Megure heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good, but don't do this again next time..."

Before he could finish his words, the voices of the two police officers who had escorted Pu Siqinglan away suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on his waist.

"No, it's bad, Inspector! The criminal suddenly attacked us and escaped!"

"Nani!?"

???

With a lot of question marks on their heads, Inspector Megure and Serabell looked at each other.

Serabelle shrugged.

What it means is that the credit that is right at your fingertips can fly away, and it is because you cannot control it.

Chapter 141: Dr. Agasa's Green Skin Says

Bang!

The sound of a door being slammed open was heard in the dock on the lower level of the cruise ship.

The shallow sea water below the guardrail of the dock platform was rippling, and the moonlight shining in from the open hatch at the rear was refracted and reflected on the ceiling of the dock, like a spider web whose shape was constantly changing.

A wounded figure stumbled in, staggered forward a few steps before barely braking to a stop.

It’s Pu Siqinglan.

She broke free from the control of the two criminal police officers escorting her and fled all the way here. The knife stuck in her leg would hinder the range of muscle movement, so she was pulled out and thrown away during the escape. Dark red warm blood gushed out from the wound and dripped along the way.

Fortunately, no artery was injured, so even if there is some bleeding, it’s no big deal.

Pu Si Qinglan was gasping for breath. She had never been so miserable in her life.

To be honest, this is the first time I have been forced into such a situation. Not only did I fail to get the treasure, but I was also injured and almost taken away by the police.

"cough……"

Pu Siqinglan gritted his teeth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to barely moisten his throat which had become dry from panting from running at high speed. He endured the pain from his wounds and used his handcuffed hands to lift the tarpaulin covering the lifeboat and jumped in without hesitation.

At the same time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the dock door, accompanied by the police's loud reports on the walkie-talkie, coming from far away at a very fast speed.

Pu Siqinglan ignored him and opened the cover under the rudder of the lifeboat as quickly as possible. He accurately pulled out two wires from it and then tied them together tightly.

Om-!

The surging and deep roar of the engine echoed in the space, at one point drowning out the footsteps rushing into the dock.

The two police officers who were careless and did not dodge and were knocked down finally arrived at the last moment, but it was too late.

Pu Siqinglan had already started the lifeboat and shifted the gear to reverse.

With the accelerator pressed, the engine roared violently, and the propeller accelerated to the highest gear in less than a second. The churning water created white waves in the dock, driving the air flow, dragging the entire lifeboat rapidly out of the cabin door.

"Don't move! Or I'll shoot!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two police officers drew their guns and pulled the trigger, but Pu Siqinglan lowered his head and hid under the dashboard.

The bullets hit the engine cover, creating sparks, and the flying bullets fell into the water on both sides of the hull, without affecting the operation of the engine at all.

The two people on the shore could only watch as the lifeboat quickly backed out of the dock and headed towards the vast black sea.

……

The scene returns to the restaurant.

After receiving a call from his subordinates through the walkie-talkie, Inspector Megure learned that Shi Kaoping had escaped and sighed helplessly.

"I see. You are not injured, right? Well, that's good. Come back first."

After hanging up the intercom, Inspector Megure turned to everyone present.

"We just received confirmation that Scott Skoubing hijacked the lifeboat in the dock and escaped from the cruise ship. We will issue a wanted order. Please pay attention to your own safety during this period of time. Do not go out unless necessary. If you encounter any abnormal situation, please contact the police immediately. We will rush to the scene as soon as possible."

Gan Jiangyi couldn't wait to ask: "What about Yokosuka Castle..."

"What castle?"

Inspector Megure was puzzled. He had just arrived at the cruise ship less than an hour ago and had no idea what a castle was.

Natsumi Kosaka explained, "Actually, this Egg of Memories was made by my great-grandfather, and according to Mr. Mori's inference, there is a high possibility that there is another Egg of Memories hidden in my family's castle in Yokosuka, so we agreed to go look for it together after arriving in Tokyo."

"Another one?"

It was the first time that Inspector Megure heard such explosive news. He quickly organized his thoughts and shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"Let's not do that. Since Skoubing has also learned about this matter, she will definitely try every means to enter the castle and look for another Egg of Memory in the coming period of time. But don't worry, our police will send people to guard her..."

"But you can't keep guarding forever." Serabelle suddenly spoke.

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.' If it were me, I would go to the castle as planned."

"Eh?"

Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, not understanding where this brave and reckless plan came from.

Serabelle continued, "Scoop wants the egg more than any of us, so she will never allow us to find the Egg of Memory first. Once we go there, she will definitely show up again."

"Doesn't that mean she is already on her way to the castle?" Gan Jiang's face changed.

"Don't worry, not so fast."

Serabelle glanced at him.

"First of all, this place is still far from Tokyo. It is almost impossible for her to drive the lifeboat directly to Tokyo in her current state. Secondly, she has to treat her injuries first. Finally, from what I know about Pu Siqinglan, she is a person who likes to wait for opportunities, just like when she sniped Kaito Kidd in Osaka. So she will definitely follow us and wait quietly for the opportunity."

"That is to say, this is a game."

Suzuki Tomoko smiled.

"Either we find the Memory Egg and use this operation to capture her, or she kills all of us and takes the Memory Egg."

"That's right." Serabell nodded.

Yuanzi's face turned pale: "This is such a dangerous operation, you should not go, right?"

"No, I will go."

Suzuki Tomoko said confidently, while fixing her eyes on Serabelle who was standing next to Inspector Megure.

She raised the corners of her lips, and the charming teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was moved.

"With Sera-kun's ability, I think he can protect me and take down that Scorch soldier, right?"

"…as long as Mrs. Suzuki is willing to believe me."

Serabelle gracefully responded with a standard British gentleman's salute.

At this point, the trip to Yokosuka Castle has been set.

The topic of who should stay and who should go was still being discussed in the restaurant, and Serabell was pulled by Conan to the corridor outside the restaurant.

Conan took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief he carried with him: "Since we are going to face off against Scoob, I plan to ask Dr. Agasa to make a pair of bulletproof glasses. Just in case, why don't you get a pair too? By the way, do you have a prescription for your eyes?"
