Conan Rick's Investigator

"Put down the gun, Elena." Akai Mary warned again, "I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't cooperate, I will..."

In the face of Mary's warning without a trace of personal emotion, Elena had to raise her hands and throw the pistol to the floor beside her.

The pistol fell to the floor twice, making a hollow "clang" sound.

Mary still pointed the gun at Elena who raised her hands, and said, "Machun, come in and check on the injured."

At this time, another person came in from the door, walked around Mary and Elena, and came to the side of the White Horse Detective in two steps.

"Hey, where are you hurt?"

“Here…”

Bai Matan looked at the short-haired girl in front of him and slightly raised the arm that was shot.

Masumi Sera gently lifted up Hakuba's shot arm and placed it on his thigh, then rolled up his sleeve to reveal the bloody wound underneath.

Then she took out a bandage from her arms and quickly bandaged it.

Since Masumi Sera had learned bandaging techniques specifically from Mary, she was very skilled at it.

Looking at the slightly familiar-looking girl in front of him, Bai Ma Tan just couldn't remember where he had seen her.

However, seeing the other party bandaging him seriously, Bai Matan's face turned slightly red.

While the wound was still being bandaged, Mary also started communicating with Elena.

"Elena, I heard that you died 17 years ago..."

"Really?" Elena responded frivolously, "Maybe it's just a rumor."

Seeing this, Mary didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Who are you working for now?"

"Where's Miyano Atsushi? Is he still alive?"

Facing Mary's question, Elina smiled lightly and answered nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm risking my life, it's just cooperation..."

"As for Miyano Atsushi... who is this person you are talking about?"

Hearing this, Mary's eyes changed slightly and her hands gripping the pistol tightened.

Looking at Elena in front of her, although her appearance has hardly changed from the Elena in her memory, but as an elder sister, she finds it increasingly difficult to understand her younger sister.

Elena had a strange personality since she was a child. She was taciturn and always looked gloomy.

For this reason, her parents once took her to see a psychiatrist, but no mental illness was diagnosed in the end.

Later, as she grew older, Elena began to gradually become normal. Although she still spoke very little, at least she could communicate normally and listened to her family.

But when she was about to enter college, Elena had serious disagreements with her family.

Elena's academic performance has always been good, and with her excellent grades at the time, she could choose either Oxford or Cambridge.

But she hid it from everyone and chose to study biomedical science at the University of Bristol.

This made her parents very angry and they seldom talked directly to Elena during college. It was Mary, the older sister, who acted as a liaison between the two parties.

Later, Elena fell in love with Atsushi Miyano, who was an exchange student in the UK, and went to the United States with him despite her family's opposition.

This time, Elena completely cut off contact with her parents at home, but Mary never gave up.

No matter what Elena did, she treated her as her irreplaceable sister.

Mary even attended the wedding of Atsushi Miyano and Elena without telling her parents.

Later, the Miyano couple went to Japan and joined a pharmaceutical company controlled by American capital.

25 years ago, the pharmaceutical company went bankrupt, and the Miyano couple opened a small clinic and lived a simple and peaceful life.

However, such peaceful days did not last long. As the Miyano couple decided to join the research institute under the Karasuma Group, the Miyano family seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

17 years ago, Mary came to Japan for refuge due to the warning of Akai Tsutomu, and also investigated the whereabouts of the Miyano family, but to no avail.

It was not until recently that Mary got a definite clue from Qin Zhibo that the Miyano couple had been confirmed dead.

This made Mary think that everything was settled, but the poor sister finally paid a heavy price for her willfulness.

But what Mary never expected was that as the suspect in the Ingalls case was exposed a few days ago, Mary saw "Elena" again.

Not only that, during the operation to capture Vermouth, Mary also saw Elena with her own eyes.

This made Mary determined to find out the truth again.

Following the clues of the license plate and car body in her memory, she used the surveillance network built by MI6 and the super computing power of artificial intelligence Hiroki Sawada to find the trace of the Hummer that rescued Vermouth.

She went all the way north to Shrewsbury just to confirm whether the current "Elena" was still the same Elena as before.

Or……

"Tell me, Elena."

"Has the Elena I knew ceased to exist since a long time ago?"

Although the expression on Mary's face was firm, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of tenderness in her eyes when facing her own sister.

Elena still raised her hands, with a half-smile on her face, and did not answer the question.

Masumi Sera, who had just finished bandaging Hakuba's arm, glanced at his mother Mary, and then glanced at Elena.

Mom, aunt...

When Sera Masumi was in a daze, Mary saw that Sera Masumi had already been bandaged, so she sternly urged him, "Get out of here quickly!"

"There is a high possibility that there are her accomplices around here."

When Mary entered the manor just now, she did not see the Hummer. She just followed the surveillance camera to this road and found that this place looked very suspicious, so she decided to come in and take a look.

After hearing Mary's order, Sera Masumi stopped watching the fun and prepared to work together with Hakuba Tan to carry the injured Afu out first.

But at this moment, there was a rustling sound at the window.

Immediately afterwards, the glass in the room shattered, flames flashed in the lush bushes outside the window, and several bullets attacked at the same time.

"careful!"

Mary shouted and quickly turned the gun to aim at the window.

Elena took advantage of the moment when Mary turned the gun around to run towards the door of the room and quickly disappeared into the dark corridor.

Bai Matan, who had just lifted half of Afu's body, subconsciously pounced on Sera Masumi.

Mary, relying on her years of experience as a secret agent, used tactical moves to evade the attack and calmly fired back the moment she hit the ground.

Although the bushes outside the window were so dense that it was dark there, she had memorized the location where the shot was fired the moment the muzzle flashed.

Pia, Pia, Pia!

After a few shots, there was no movement outside the window.

Mary pulled out a new magazine from her waist and replaced it. As she approached the window, she picked up the silenced pistol that Elena had discarded and held it in her hand.

She crouched down, carefully touched the wall near the window, and then counted to three silently in her heart.

3, 2, 1...

Suddenly, Mary appeared from the window and fired both pistols at the bushes outside the window.

But after firing a few shots, she immediately stopped firing.

The enemy outside the window had already run away, and she heard the sound of a car engine starting in the manor.

"Humph……"

Mary snorted and put away the pistol.

If she were younger, she would definitely choose to chase.

However, even though she is more experienced now, she has not carried out any missions for many years, and her overall quality is definitely not as good as it was in the past.

In addition, my daughter is with me, so safety is the top priority.

Otherwise, how could she explain to her father whose life or death was uncertain?

Mary turned her head and looked at the floor. At this time, Hakuba Tan was still pressing Sera Masumi in a slightly indecent posture.

"Hey, the enemies are gone, isn't it time for you to get up?" Sera Masumi said unhappily.

It’s not that she didn’t have the strength to push Bai Ma Tan away, but she also knew that Bai Ma Tan did it to save her, so she didn’t want to treat him too roughly.

But after he said that, Bai Ma Tan didn't respond at all.

She was originally embarrassed and quickly tilted her head to look at Bai Matan, only to see that the latter had closed his eyes.

Mary also noticed something was wrong at this time, and quickly squatted down to take a closer look.

Only then did she realize that the bullet that was fired from the window had hit the white horse's back near his heart.

Chapter 1325 Family Recognition Conference

“Ran, Ran…”

"orchid!"

In the quiet ward, a young body suddenly woke up and stood up from the bed.

here it is……

Conan stared at the unfamiliar environment in front of him. After a quick look, he realized that this was a hospital ward.

Am I in the hospital?

Has that matter been resolved?

Conan sat on the bed for a while and recalled what had happened before.

When he was about to take a flight back to Japan, he encountered Mao Lilan, who was also planning to take the same flight back to Japan, being kidnapped.

In order to rescue Xiaolan, he had to go to Wiltshire according to the kidnapper's request...

Later, after experiencing a series of events, he and Xiaolan were taken to Stonehenge.

The kidnapper seemed to want to perform some esoteric ritual, with himself as a kind of "sacrifice".

However, the other party thought he was Kaito Kid, so he took Mouri Ran hostage, forcing him to show up.

Later, the real Kaito Kidd appeared, along with Michael and a black version of "Kaito Kidd"...

Finally, even my mother...

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with long wavy hair walked in.

When the woman saw Conan waking up on the hospital bed, she put the basin of water aside, rushed to the bed and hugged the petite and cute body.

"Shinichi! You're finally awake!"

Yukiko hugged him and wiped her tears, "Wow... You don't know how worried I was before you became small!"

"Mom?"

Conan looked a little stunned. He raised his palm and realized that his body had returned to normal...

No, it's back to normal.

This means that at least 24 hours have passed since the last time he took the antidote.

"Mom, where is Xiaolan? How is she?"

When Yukiko heard Conan was concerned about his future daughter-in-law, her face immediately fell and she pretended to be angry and said, "Really, he asked about Xiaolan right away, and didn't ask about me, Yukiko's sister, how I am..."

Conan rolled his eyes and smiled slightly, "Haha, aren't you fine..."

Yukiko stood up and walked back to where the basin was, saying, "Don't worry, Xiaolan is fine. She and Mr. Mori have already taken a plane back to Japan."

"Back to Japan?"

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but look a little disappointed.

He was well aware that he absolutely could not appear in the UK in this state, because according to the original plan, he and Dr. Agasa had already taken the previous flight back to Japan and would not experience the subsequent events.

But having just gone through such a big thing, he subconsciously hoped that Xiaolan could be by his side, at least so that he could confirm her safety with his own eyes.

Yukiko, who was standing by, was wetting a towel with water, and she also caught a glimpse of the regret in her son's eyes.

As a mother, she certainly knows what her son is thinking.
