Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

The female voice on the other end of the phone didn't say anything else, "Then Conan, when Xiaolan comes back, can you ask her to call me?"

"Ok."

Conan hung up the phone and didn't take it seriously.

He had just received a call from Kojima Genta, but the phone turned off due to lack of battery halfway through the call, so he temporarily borrowed a cell phone from Xiaolan.

Less than half a minute after Xiaolan lent him her phone, she decided to go to the bathroom.

Downstairs, Pu Siqinglan was wondering whether she should report to Lin Jiashu first... She was mainly unclear about Lin Jiashu's intention of asking her to do this, but thinking that the adults seemed to be setting a time limit for her to call Mao Lilan downstairs, she sent a text message to Lin Jiashu as soon as possible.

However, when Lin Jiashu just returned to the entrance of the banquet hall, he was blocked by several girls.

"Teacher Lin, please sign for me!"

"Teacher Lin!!!"

"Could you please shake my hand?"

Forced into business mode, he pulled out his pen with a smile on his face.

After signing his name, before the girls gathered in front of him dispersed, before he reached into his pocket to take out his phone--

Snapped!

The entire floor was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Chapter 163: Xiaolan loses her memory

Icy water gushed from a broken pipe.

It was pitch black all around.

Ran Mouri fell onto the cold, humid ground, and in a daze she pushed Miwako Sato who had fallen on her.

"Officer Sato, Officer Sato? How are you? Cheer up..."

no response.

The blood oozing from Sato Miwako's shoulder merged into the puddles on the ground.

Because she couldn't see anything, Mao Lilan subconsciously wanted to help her up, but as soon as her hand subconsciously reached Sato Miwako's ribs, the wet, warm and sticky touch made her subconsciously raise her hand in front of her eyes.

Blood.....

A large amount of blood that stained my hands red...

The surface of the accumulated water on the ground was emitting a faint cold light. Mao Lilan could barely see her hands covered in blood, which was sliding down her fingers. Her hands suddenly began to tremble.

Her breathing became increasingly rapid.

His eyes began to waver.

"This is all my fault... If I hadn't had the flashlight--"

People actually don't have much sense of the moment when things happen.

From the moment she subconsciously picked up the flashlight after the power outage, to the sudden flash of the bullet, to the nervous face of Sato Miwako who told her to put down the flashlight and turn around to protect herself... When all of this constituted the scene of Sato Miwako lying in a pool of blood, the huge fear and self-blame surged like a tsunami, causing Maori Ran to tremble all over.

After she screamed and fainted, someone in the banquet hall finally noticed what was happening in the bathroom.

"Xiaolan!!!!"

"Officer Sato!? Officer Sato!?"

"Call an ambulance quickly!!"

"Send someone to seal off all entrances and exits of the hotel immediately, Shiratori!!"

The bathroom was instantly in chaos.

Lights were restored throughout the floor.

After confirming that his beloved daughter was just unconscious and not hurt, Maori Kogoro, who was holding her, breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Sato Miwako, who was bleeding all over and being guarded by the police, he gritted his teeth again.

"..."

Lin Jiashu stared at the miserable scene in the bathroom.

He walked forward, squatted down in front of Maori Kogoro, and helped him pick up Xiaolan: "The ground is full of water, it's very cold."

"Ah, ah..."

Kogoro Mori realized it later.

Lin Jiashu took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Xiaolan's hands and face.

Kogoro Mouri remained silent in the face of this scene.

"Uncle, Brother Jiashu, there is a pistol here!"

Conan shouted, pointing at the pistol left at the scene.

After confirming that his childhood sweetheart was not hurt and just fainted, he immediately surveyed the scene - there was a 9mm caliber automatic pistol equipped with a silencer, the same pistol used by the unknown criminal who shot and killed several police officers a few days ago.

And a flashlight was dropped next to the water.

The ambulance arrived quickly.

Officer Sato, who was shot multiple times, was immediately rushed to the ambulance, followed by Ran, who fell into a coma.

At this moment, all entrances and exits of the hotel are closed.

"Everyone except children needs to be tested for smoke reaction!"

“No one is exempt!”

"This applies to me and all the police officers. No one is allowed to leave here before this!"

Facing the guests who were unconsciously getting anxious, Odagiri Toshiro announced loudly with a gloomy face.

Hundreds of guests at the scene tested their reaction to gun smoke one by one, but all the test results were normal.

The policemen's expressions became increasingly grim.

Gun smoke reaction is one of the most compelling pieces of evidence in a shooting, and getting rid of it won't be quick... Could it be that the killer has escaped again this time?

There were no other useful clues at the scene.

It was unrealistic to confine all the guests here, so the police could only let them go one after another.

Lin Jiashu said nothing.

He drove Kogoro Mori and the others to the Beika Yakushino Hospital, which was closest to the hotel.

When I arrived at the floor with Megure Juzo and the others, I heard that Sato Miwako was still in the operating room for emergency treatment, and the unconscious Xiaolan was still in the ward and had not woken up yet.

"It's okay, Xiaolan is not injured, she's probably just frightened."

To comfort the worried-looking Kisaki Eri, Hayashi Yoshiki spoke.

"Um...."

Fei Yingli nodded.

She and Sonoko went to Xiaolan's ward first, leaving Kogoro Mouri, who had a lot of questions to ask, to argue with Inspector Megure.

Lin Jiashu looked at the message on his phone.

Pu Siqinglan: "Sir, did I mess up?"

"Don't worry, it's okay. You did a great job, Ms. Qinglan."

Lin Jiashu simply edited the text message and replied to her.

There is really nothing to blame her for, after all, she was just following his orders... Lin Jiashu didn't expect that the situation would just happen, and Xiaolan lent her cell phone to Conan.

Or maybe I just took it for granted.

Police officers from the hospital came to report the situation to Megure Jusan. At this time, he still wanted to hide it from Hayashi Yoshiki and the others, but this made Maori Kogoro angry: "Officer Megure! Don't you understand? If there was anything wrong with this matter, my precious daughter would have been shot!"

"Something's wrong! Brother Jiashu, Xiaolan--!"

Yuanzi, wearing high-heeled sandals, staggered out of the ward, looking panicked.

"what happened?"

"Although Xiaolan is awake now, she seems to be a little bit off!"

"Varied--!?"

Upon hearing this, several people immediately rushed to Xiaolan's ward.

He hurried into the ward and saw that Xiaolan, who had changed into a hospital gown, had woken up and was sitting on the bed. Conan breathed a sigh of relief seeing this.

"Sister Lan, are you okay?"

"..."

Xiaolan, her eyes a little out of focus, looked at him blankly: "Little brother, who are you?"

"..."

The atmosphere was as silent as ice.

Cold sweat oozed from Maori Kogoro's forehead. He was a little skeptical and took two tentative steps forward: "This, this..."

"Not only does she not remember us now, she can't even remember her own name."

Kisaki Eri put her hand on Xiaolan's shoulder, her eyes were a little red.

Kogoro Mouri, who was a little bit unable to accept it, wanted to go forward and let Xiaolan take a good look at him, but Yoshiki Hayashi stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Maori."

He held Maori Kogoro's shoulder and said, "I understand your feelings, but approaching Xiaolan rashly now will only make her nervous. She seems to be in a difficult situation herself."

"..."

Looking at his daughter's confused look, Kogoro Mouri managed to calm down.

At this time, Lin Jiashu took out the notebook from his clothes, opened it to a certain page and walked in front of Xiaolan.

"All right."

"Don't try to think about things you really can't remember for now. You've already had a hard time today, Xiaolan."

"Look at this."

"Do you recognize the words on this?"

Chapter 4: This is your last night of freedom (k)

"...Edogawa Kebei?"

Edogawa Corgi

When asked about the words written in her notes, Xiaolan slowly read out what she saw.

The ward was very quiet.

Megure Jusan, Shiratori Jinzaburo and others couldn't help but look at Edogawa Conan who was standing beside them, because it was a very serious and heavy moment, they had to keep their expressions straight.

Conan didn't react at all.

"Then, Xiaolan, can you write here with a pen which country New York is from?"

"......OK."

Xiaolan reached out and took the pen handed to her by Lin Jiashu.

He took off the pen cap, then slowly took the notebook and wrote the answer "America" ​​on it.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Jiashu reached out and took the pen and notebook. "Then, Xiaolan, do you remember what you usually like to eat?"

"I"

Xiaolan opened her mouth subconsciously. She looked at Lin Jiashu's face, a blank look in her eyes: "I don't know."
