Conan's refusal to confess

Tokyo.

Beihu Shopping Mall.

The mall, which should be bustling with people on weekends, was sparsely populated due to the many Metropolitan Police Department vehicles parked around the mall.

There were only a few people watching the fun from the periphery or across the street.

Vaguely, one could hear from them what had happened in the mall.

"I was just driven out by the Metropolitan Police Department. Someone was killed."

"Someone escaped! It doesn't look like he's from the Metropolitan Police Department, he must be the murderer, right?!!"

Suddenly a teenager rushed out of the mall and attracted their attention.

He looked very young, probably just a middle school student, so they naturally didn't think he was from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Shinichi Kudo ran out of the mall and looked at the group of onlookers pointing at him. He was speechless for a moment, then turned around and looked around, looking for the exit of the mall's underground garage.

Just when he found it according to the sign, a man in a helmet rushed out of the exit of the underground garage on a motorcycle. He was still wearing blood-stained clothes that he had not had time to change. After coming out, he rushed in the direction with the least police cars.

"I was so busy with the mall exit that I forgot about the underground parking lot exit."

He slapped his head and realized that it was not only Inspector Megure and the others who remembered this, but he himself also remembered it after learning from clues that the murderer could ride a motorcycle.

Kudo Shinichi ran to the police car next to him, ready to hail another car to chase after him. Given his reputation as a high school detective, he would generally not refuse familiar police officers he had worked with before.

However, at this moment, an unlicensed white sports car stopped precisely in front of him with a very cool drift.

The wind blew up his jacket.

"No time to explain, get in the car quickly."

A familiar voice came from the slightly lowered window of the driver's seat. He knew it was Noriko Amamiya without even looking. He got into the back seat without much thought, and Noriko Amamiya started the car and chased after the murderer.

"Why are you here? Or are you driving? Where's Sister Chizhi?"

Noriko Amemiya drove the sports car skillfully to chase the motorcycle in front. From the rearview mirror, she saw that he was not wearing a seat belt. He was sitting in the middle of the back seat, staring at the target in front of him, with so many questions in his mouth.

She stepped on the gas and replied, "I just robbed a bank and now I'm on a four-star wanted list."

"."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned and silent for a moment. He turned his head in disbelief and looked at the police car chasing behind him. That was not the police car that handled the Beido Mall incident. So, it was the one that was chasing Amamiya Noriko? ! !

“Let me get off the bus-!!!”

Noriko Amemiya glanced at him through the rearview mirror. He looked very upset. Is it so credible that he said he robbed a bank? You really dare to believe it!
She exclaimed softly, "You don't want to chase the criminal anymore?"

Kudo Shinichi said expressionlessly: "I don't want to be considered an accomplice of a bank robber! I still want to catch the criminal!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Amamiya Noriko tilt her head slightly from behind, and her exquisite and flawless profile appeared in front of him. She smiled while looking at the road conditions and suggested: "How about you pretend to be my accomplice in robbing the bank, get out of my car, attract the attention of the police car behind and ask them to stop and arrest you, so that I can let go and take down the criminal in front easily."

Kudo Shinichi: "."

It is reasonable to suspect that Noriko Amamiya picked him up just to leave him behind and use him as bait. How could he possibly take the blame for Noriko Amamiya and be a bait? !
He stared at the fleeing motorcycle in front of him with a serious expression: "That guy is really not afraid of death. He ran through the red light without even looking."

His ability to change the subject was so poor that Noriko Amamiya didn't even bother to pay attention to him and stepped on the accelerator to catch up.

The murderer, who was speeding on a motorcycle in front, was breathing heavily under his motorcycle helmet and felt much more relaxed.

As long as he escapes from the mall, with his superb driving skills and the advantage of motorcycles in navigating through urban areas, as long as there is a lot of traffic ahead, he will be able to shake off the police car chasing him!

As he was thinking this, and was about to glance at the rearview mirror of his motorcycle, a white sports car had already caught up with him and was driving side by side with him. It was even so close that it was about to knock him down, which scared him.

The sports car obviously didn't belong to the police, could it be that the guy who seemed to have nothing better to do thought he was provoked and wanted to race with me? ?
Too idle.
I didn't want to pay attention, but the other party lowered the window.

She was a young girl wearing sunglasses, with a small and beautiful face. Her outstanding beauty could not be completely concealed even by the oversized sunglasses. She was wearing a cute white lace shirt, and her long black hair fluttered in the wind brought by the high-speed driving.

My heart suddenly beat faster.

"Prisoner-san, could you please stop for a moment? It's not too late to turn yourself in."

The heart that was beating just now fell to the ground with a "boom".

The prisoner Sang's voice, which was dull but a little shaken, came from under his helmet, "You already know that I'm a prisoner. Do you think I will surrender?!"

"I thought so too. It was me, the guy sitting behind you, who insisted on trying to persuade you."

Noriko Amemiya agreed with his words, but the other party answered with a rhetorical question, which seemed to be possible. Could he also be a tragic revenge murderer?

As she spoke, she lowered the back window, revealing Kudo Shinichi, who was caught off guard by the strong wind and had a messy face.

Kudo Shinichi: "."

Now that things have come to this, let’s say something.

"That's right, let's stop here. Your revenge is over, and it's time to take responsibility for your crimes! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, as a high school detective, I will find you and catch you."

"What a big mouth you have! Catch me first!"

After saying that, he turned the accelerator, and the large-displacement motorcycle instantly sped away. Amamiya Noriko also stepped on the accelerator and chased after it.

"I originally thought of taking him down after we left the city, but it seems that would take a bit of time. I'd better just do it right away. I have a date later."

"Dating?"

Kudo Shinichi was attracted by her words and was about to ask when Amemiya Noriko had already stepped on the accelerator. With a heavy push on his back and the steering wheel turning while the sports car was speeding, he sincerely thanked Amemiya Noriko for asking him to fasten his seat belt.

Then he saw Noriko Amemiya driving the sports car accurately towards the motorcycle, controlling the distance extremely precisely. When the murderer was afraid of being hit and wanted to dodge, she had already reached out and grabbed the other person's neck, holding him like a chicken until she stopped in a small road with few people.

"thump--"

The criminal wearing a motorcycle helmet was thrown to the ground by Noriko Amamiya. From his unresponsive appearance, it seemed that he was strangled to unconsciousness.

"Your five-finger grip is like a throat lock."

"Do you want to experience it?"

Noriko Amemiya stretched out five fingers in the shape of the Nine Yin White Bone Claws. Her slender, white and tender little hands had clean, pink and pointed round nails and small, and they were clearly a pair of soft and boneless hands.

As soon as Kudo Shin got out of the car, he looked at the criminal on the ground, then looked at Amamiya Noriko, slowly withdrew his gaze from her hands, and said politely: "Thank you, no need, I'll let Officer Megure take this man back. Speaking of which, you turned yourself in for the bank robbery."

"Do you really believe that I robbed someone? The police car chasing me was from the Traffic Department. I just happened to fly past them in an unlicensed car."

"So that's how it is. I didn't quite believe it either, but if you're bored and have fun robbing a bank, you could probably do it."

Noriko Amamiya raised her sunglasses, and her beautiful eyes revealed an indescribable complexity: "I didn't expect you to have such an idea. I'm going to tell Xiaolan that you instigated me to rob a bank."

"Don't--"

Noriko Amemiya ignored his wailing, started the car and drove away.

Beihu Shopping Mall.

Noriko Amemiya parked her car somewhere else and walked to the intersection to wait for someone.

There are as many people trying to strike up a conversation as ever.

"Miss, you are so cute. You dress very tastefully and have a very good temperament."

"Ok?"

Amamiya Noriko looked at the person who praised her right away and said politely, "Thank you, you are also very tall."

The other party felt that there was something interesting, and quickly continued: "If you feel bored, how about I treat you to something to eat, or barbecue? Or a cup of coffee?"

Amamiya Noriko looked innocent and tilted her head slightly: "Why?"

"Actually, I'm a talent scout, blah blah."

Noriko Amemiya listened to his self-introduction and felt extremely familiar with it. Five or six out of ten people who approached her in this urban area were scouts. In fact, she didn't know whether it was true or not, and there was no follow-up, but there were too many people who used this excuse.

At this time, a voice came from the side: "Sorry, she already has a reservation with me."

As she spoke, Mao Lilan walked to the side of Kiko, took a half step forward and declined politely. Although she seemed very polite, it made people feel that there was no chance anymore, and the other party could only give up reluctantly.

Amamiya Noriko could tell at a glance that she was a little angry, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do I feel like you seem a little unhappy, Xiaolan?"

"Noriko, Shinichi, that guy—"

OK, I understood as soon as you opened your mouth. Okay, okay, give her a hug, comfort her, take Xiaolan's arm and go shopping with her, and forget about Kudo Shinichi who stands her up more often than Kaito Kid.

Before that, he tilted his head to look somewhere and said, "I will take good care of Xiaolan."

not far away.

Kudo Shinichi and Inspector Megure were walking towards the crime scene. He stopped and seemed to have forgotten something!
He suddenly remembered that Xiaolan had previously sent him a message asking him to accompany her shopping, but at the same time he received a very anxious call from Inspector Megure, so he did not reply for the time being and ended up forgetting about it until now.

He quickly took out his cell phone to reply Xiaolan, "Sorry, Xiaolan, I have time now!"
Xiaolan's reply came quickly.

"I'm a bit busy right now, maybe next time."

"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do. Xiaolan is also very busy."

Kudo Shinichi raised his head and subconsciously looked at the two slim girls holding each other's arms not far away, and fell into a daze.

"Kudou-kun, what's wrong? The prisoner seems to have woken up."

Inspector Megure looked at Kudo Shinichi who was in a daze with some confusion.

"Ah, it's okay."

Kudo Shinichi responded with slightly trembling lips. It turned out that the date Amamiya Noriko was talking about was with Xiaolan——!!!
The unaware Inspector Megure patted him on the shoulder and praised him, "Brother Kudo, you are really amazing this time. Not only did you find clues and deduce the murderer, you even caught him yourself. Thank you on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

".You're welcome."

Kudo Shinichi responded with lifeless eyes, "Today's sky is not very blue." (End of this chapter)
