It's been a long time - Xiao Ai thought so and looked outside. The woman she saw when she came in was still standing under the pillar of the entrance. She was holding the hat she had hidden before and walked towards the street with an uneasy expression. It was a little unclear from the angle just now, but now that I can see clearly, this woman with long hair and a ponytail is really a slim beauty.

……

Just as the automatic door was about to close, the woman noticed Ai's gaze, immediately put her hat back on, and left in a hurry. She seemed to be a bit of a bother...

"I'm sorry, if I had known earlier I would have asked which hospital we should go to..." the old lady at the counter said to Xiaolan apologetically.

"It's okay, thank you! I'll look for it. Let's go, Ai."

After hearing what Xiaolan said, Xiaoai followed her and left the bathhouse.

……

The man driving the car was the man wearing a hat and reading a newspaper that Conan had seen in the mirror in the dressing room. His name was Kondo. The man who had opened the locker earlier was sitting in the passenger seat next to him. He had been looking at Conan impatiently from time to time. Conan was still naked and wrapped in a bath towel, lying in the back seat of the car. Kondo's windbreaker was covering him.

"Aren't you going to the hospital?" Kondo asked the man in the passenger seat, looking forward.

"This brat saw what was in the locker..." The man smacked his lips angrily and said in a very dissatisfied tone.

However, Kondo did not say a word, but just silently controlled the steering wheel, while the man in the passenger seat looked at Kondo's profile without any hesitation.

"… I say, you are also a gangster, right?"

"You actually figured it out." Kondo glanced in the direction of the passenger seat in surprise, then immediately turned his gaze back to the front.

"I've heard that there will be people watching... I can tell at a glance that you have a fierce look in your eyes."

Kondo looked at the smiling face of the man in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror and asked, "…What should I do next?"

"Anyway, let's ask first, what instructions are there."

Kondo looked at the man in the passenger seat who took out his cell phone and sighed. The man in the passenger seat immediately got angry.

"So what do you say we should do? Aren't you just a little rascal who only follows orders from above? I acted on the spur of the moment and saved your life!"

"...As expected of a dragon who can act according to circumstances." Kondo said while gripping the steering wheel tightly and facing forward.

The man called Long suddenly looked in his direction, with an expression on his face that seemed to ask: "How did you know that?"

Seeing his surprised look, Kondo said calmly: "From your tattoo... I have heard rumors about you. No matter how unexpected the situation is, you will act according to the situation to resolve the crisis and finally complete the task. A dragon with a dragon tattoo... This is very famous in the underworld."

After hearing what Kondo said, Long noticed that the dragon tattoo on his right hand was exposed under his rolled-up sleeves.

"No... I don't know who you are talking about." Although it was too late to cover it up, Long still lowered his sleeve with his left hand to cover the tattoo.

"Uncle, who are you?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them. Long was startled and turned his head immediately. Even Kondo, who was driving, turned his head. Conan sat up slowly in the back seat, looking confused. Seeing this, Kondo turned his head back again.

"You...you hit your head...Your name is Conan, right?" Long still asked towards the back seat.

"...Conan?"

"...Huh?" Long suddenly found that Conan looked a little strange.

"Don't you remember your name?"

Hearing his question, Conan still looked confused and tilted his head.

……

Xiaolan and Xiaoai, who rushed from the bathhouse to the nearest hospital, had just come out of the hospital when they met Professor Agasa's Beetle in the parking lot, with Maori sitting in the car.

"Ah, Dad."

Xiaolan hurriedly ran towards Maori.

"I asked my friends in the hospital system to help investigate," Mao Li said seriously, "There is no so-called man holding a child named Edogawa Conan for treatment in any regular hospital in Tokyo."

"Ah...how could this be?!" Xiaolan widened her eyes.

Just then, Xiaolan's cell phone rang with a text message alert.

"Ah, it's an email from Conan! The injury isn't that serious, and he's going to have dinner with his acquaintance brother..."

……

Conan's car arrived at the factory area near the river, and then stopped in front of a dilapidated, small abandoned factory. The factory's rolling door slowly rolled up, and then the car drove into the factory. Outside the factory, in addition to Long's car, there were some small trucks parked there. A middle-aged man greeted them in the factory.

He picked up Conan from the back seat and brought him to a place similar to a lounge in the factory. Although this room looked like it had not been used for a long time, there was a sofa and a simple kitchen, which could at least meet the needs of life.

Conan woke up and sat on the sofa. In front of the sofa was a small round table with a desk lamp on top, emitting a faint light. Looking out from the small window, it was already dark outside, and it seemed that the sun had already set. After looking around, Conan met Kondo's eyes who was standing in front of him.

"...Where is this place?" Hearing Conan's question, Kondo blinked slowly.

"Uncle, I don't know either..."

"You really can't remember anything?"

Just as Conan lowered his head to think, the door suddenly opened and a middle-aged man he had never seen before walked in.

"Little friend, this medicine can cure your brain. Drink it and lie here for a while."

"Yes." Conan took the pills and the cup of juice handed over by the middle-aged man without any refusal. Then, he put the pills into his mouth and fed it into his stomach with the juice.

The middle-aged man looked at his actions with some concern, and Kondo beside him also looked at Conan expressionlessly. After Conan took another big sip of juice, he put the cup on the table and fell on the sofa with his back facing the sky.

Kondo picked up the blanket and covered Conan, who had lost his strength and fell asleep.

Chapter 189

"This sleeping pill is very potent, he probably won't wake up." The middle-aged man who gave Conan the pills said and left the room. In the next room, Long was sitting there fiddling with Conan's phone.

"I sent a text message to 'Sister Lan' in the women's bathhouse. There won't be any problems for now."

Long placed the phone on the wooden box in front of him.

"It seems that the kid's memory is a little confused. It would be great if he could forget all of this..."

The middle-aged man didn't react to Long's words, he just kept shaking in place.

"You are 'Key House Amaru', right? What are you doing in a place like this, a burglar expert?"

Kondo stared at the middle-aged man, Keyya Amaru, with an intense gaze.

"I... just followed the instructions, opened the door here, and prepared the sleeping pills... I should go now."

Not knowing what he was afraid of, Amaru dragged his shaky feet and hurriedly prepared to leave the place. As he walked, he bumped into Kondo's shoulder in panic.

"No."

Hearing Long's words, Awan was surprised and almost jumped up from the ground.

"...why?"

"I don't know. The text message asked us to put the child to sleep and then wait here together." Long took his cell phone out of his pocket and waved it in front of the others.

"hateful……"

"You don't know who you're working for, do you?"

Long asked Kondo again.

"...I just received a phone call request." Kondo replied indifferently.

Hearing his answer, Long laughed loudly, "What kind of commission is this? What kind of evidence did they use against you?"

Kondo did not answer his question, but just stood there silently.

"In short, it's for your own good to follow the instructions here. This is all my experience in this industry. No matter who it is, the person who orders us around is not a good person."

Long said this through clenched teeth, with a few beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

……

"Kondo?"

Moving House Joe finally spoke up in front of the detective.

"Well, the guy who gave me the keys to the truck said, 'Don't mess up, we're being ordered around by Kondo.'"

Just thinking about this scene, his face trembled with fear. However, facing the police interrogation, Joe really couldn't hide it any longer.

"… Is this Kondo the killer in the legend? Isn't that just an urban legend? Could it be that such a person really exists?"

It seems that the detective doesn't believe what Joe said at all.

"You...you police officers will ensure my safety."

Joe raised his head impatiently. After all, he had already revealed the man's name. If the detectives could not guarantee his safety, it would be troublesome. Joe stared at the detective's face desperately, and the policeman showed a very irritated expression. At this moment, there were two knocks on the door.

"Please come in."

"Officer Yamada, um..." A young detective opened the door and poked his head in.

"What's wrong?" The detective called "Officer Yamada" stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.

"The number of bombs discovered doesn't match the CIA's intelligence..." the young detective whispered in Officer Yamada's ear.

"What? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Officer Yamada's face changed drastically.

"Yes, confirmed... We have confirmed it several times, but there are still some gaps in the number..."

"Damn it." Officer Yamada couldn't help but smack his lips in annoyance. "So, is there something else we haven't found yet?"

……

The woman Nana walked out of the mini cooper, holding Ryu's coat in her hand, and walked into the abandoned factory. Her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground. Hearing the sound, the three men sitting on the chairs, Ryu, Kondo and Amaru, all stood up. Nana stood at the door and looked through the glass in the direction of Conan who was sleeping in the room.

"Let's go, and take the children with us."

"You... who are you?" Long stepped forward first.

"It's for our own good that we don't know each other, isn't it? I was just instructed to retrieve the children's clothes. This is all your fault, and this is what you left behind." Nana threw the coat in her hand in front of Long.

"Don't you know who is giving us instructions?" Long asked as he took the coat.

"...I can almost guess it." What a bunch of stupid men. Nana looked at the faces of the three men one by one.

"Who? Who did it?" Long continued to ask.

"I... I have completed my mission." At this time, Ah Wan suddenly interrupted. From his appearance, he didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

"Yeah..." Nana looked at Amaru and nodded, but only Kondo responded to her gaze.

"Your mission has been accomplished." Nana quickly took out a pistol from the back pocket of her trousers.

boom!

Ah Wan was shot in the head and fell to the ground with his face up.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Long jumped over the box at his feet and fled like a headless fly, bumping into Kondo in panic.

bang bang bang!

Three gunshots followed, and Long fell weakly onto Kondo's chest. Kondo sat on the ground, and Long fell on top of him and slid down his side. Long's eyes were still open, and he lay on the ground and died, with blood oozing out of his mouth and the muzzle of the gun on his back.

Kondo pushed Long's motionless body aside, stood up, and stared at Nana who was still holding the pistol. There should be bullets in the pistol, and he had no way to retreat now...

However, Nana raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Let's go, Mr. Kondo."

".......Yeah." Kondo nodded, and couldn't help sweating. At this time, Nana had put down the gun and turned her eyes to Conan who was sleeping on the sofa.

"The child has lost his memory, so it's okay to leave him behind..." Before Kondo could finish his words, Nana raised the gun again.

"The instructions I received were to take him with me. Your judgment is not needed here."

Kondo faced the gun and a few drops of sweat flowed down his face.

There was no other way... Kondo had to walk towards Conan and picked up Conan who was still sleeping. The sofa thrown in the abandoned factory was already broken and there was a big hole under where Conan slept. Looking over there, you can see two round pills on the ground. These are the two pills that Amaru handed to Conan just now... Didn't he take them?! What just now was all acting?!

Kondo turned and looked at Nana behind him, who was fiddling with her cell phone outside the room.

What on earth is this kid... Kondo couldn't help but look at Conan's face in his arms. Conan closed his eyes and still looked like he was sleeping... Kondo put his left hand through the big hole in the sofa and held the pill in his hand.

……

After leaving the factory area and the city, the car started to drive towards the mountain road. It was already late at night, there were few street lights nearby, and it was completely dark all around.

"Aren't you going to kill me to silence me?" Kondo asked Nana who was smoking in the passenger seat.

"...If the other party instructs me to do so, I will do it." Nana flicked the ash into the ashtray, "Otherwise, I will be killed too."
