I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

"Is it still raining?" I gently opened the store door and looked out.

I noticed that the rain was much lighter than before, so I simply went out with an umbrella.

Because the hotel we booked was not far away, I was too lazy to take a taxi.

It's actually not bad to take a walk in the rainy night occasionally.

The hazy rain cast a veil over New York at night, making it even more beautiful.

But I had no interest in the night view, so I just kept my head down and counted my steps.

Measure how many steps it takes to get from the cafe to the hotel.

Lonely people always do things that others cannot understand.

Of course, I don’t think so myself.

"One step, two steps, three steps, four..."

"boom."

Hit a wall.

I pointed at the wall and yelled: "You think you are tough, don't you? Let me tell you, I don't accept it!"

Then he rubbed his swollen forehead, glared at the wall fiercely, and continued to move forward.

"How many did you count just now? You forgot. Count again."

"One step, two steps, three steps, four..."

"boom."

This time the wall seems to be much higher than before, because I can no longer see my feet clearly under its obstruction.

But why is there a foot on the other side?

Is there a person in front of me?

The already erratic wind becomes even more unpredictable at night.

The moment I slowly raised my head, the rain seemed to become more urgent.

Finally, I met the eyes of the man in front of me. His eyes were a little cold, giving me the impression of a lonely eagle.

He is taller than me. He wears a black knitted hat on his long black hair and a long black windbreaker. Even his face is black.

He also seemed lonely.

"Japanese?" he asked.

"Ok?"

"I asked you if you are Japanese?"

I shook my head, "I'm a stick."

He leaned forward slightly and asked again: "Have you seen a suspicious man?"

I nodded.

"Where?" His eyes instantly became solemn.

I raised my hand and pointed forward.

He followed the direction of my fingers and his eyes spread.

"Me?" he asked, pointing to himself.

I nodded again.

The expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.

Then, he coughed lightly: "I mean, have you ever seen a Japanese who dyed his long hair silver and grew a beard?"

silver hair?

Silver-haired murderer?

"I did see a man with silver hair running that way just now." I pointed in a direction.

Staying away from him now is the best option for me.

At this time, a man who seemed to be his companion ran over.

"Did you find him?"

The man wearing a knitted hat replied: "No, I only found a girl with horns on her head and the boy in front of me. He probably didn't come to this street."

"That beast was hit by me. He shouldn't be able to run too far."

"Anyway," the man in the knitted hat stepped aside and stood to the side, "Anyway, it's too dangerous here. If you turn right at the corner ahead, you will reach the main road."

"I understand, thank you." I nodded seriously.

Then I watched from a distance as the two of them chased me in the direction I just randomly pointed at.

Wait until their figures disappear into the alley.

I followed what he said and turned to the left.

I didn’t even believe a single punctuation mark in his words.

So, I paid the price for my choice.

……

"Xinyi?"

Mao Lilan just met a man wearing a knitted hat, and then walked into the old building that Kudo Shinichi had just entered.

A ray of silver lightning illuminated her pale face, and then a thunderous sound like an explosion made her tremble.

Through the light, she could vaguely see some red round spots on the ground that looked like fried hair.

"Is it blood? Could it be Shinichi's..."

"What happened? Could it be Shinichi..."

Thinking of this, the fear in her heart was temporarily suppressed, and she spiraled up the somewhat worn stairs.

"Shinichi!"

Her loud shouting did not receive a response. Instead, the symptoms of a cold gave her a splitting headache.

"Wake up, how can you fall down now?"

"Shinichi, he came here just to find your handkerchief..."

She kept encouraging herself in her heart.

"It's all my fault..."

The sudden sound of shoes on the stairs ignited the hope in her heart.

She hurriedly ran towards it excitedly.

However, as soon as she reached the platform at the corner of the stairs, a man with an abdominal injury appeared in front of her.

"Silver hair?" She suddenly felt uneasy.

"Ran, run away! He is the silver-haired murderer!" Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the top of the stairs.

"Eh?!"

"He's right, little girl," the silver-haired murderer pointed his gun at Mao Lilan. The pain in his abdomen made him lean on the guardrail with all his weight. "I thought I hid well, but I still didn't expect to be discovered by that kid."

"If you want to hate, just hate why God arranged such a tragic end for you..." As he spoke, he took out the muffler from his pocket.

Just as Mao Lilan stared, not knowing how to react, a metallic sound sounded like broken glass.

The guardrail, which had been in disrepair, was broken.

The silver-haired murderer immediately fell down, and the muffler in his hand also fell to the ground.

Just when he thought he was about to die, a slender arm appeared and grabbed his clothes tightly.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and grab my hand! If you don't hurry up, I won't be able to catch it!" Mao Lilan shouted.

She was already suffering from a cold, and the strength in her arms was gradually disappearing.

Just when she was about to lose her strength, Kudo Shinichi arrived in time, and the two successfully hung the silver-haired murderer in the air.

"Shinichi?" She looked at the boy in front of her with some surprise.

"Damn it, you will really cause trouble for others!" Kudo Shinichi said through gritted teeth.

At this time, the silver-haired murderer who had stabilized his body suddenly grabbed the railings on both sides with both hands and turned back to the platform.

"Why, why do you want to save me?" He looked at the two people in front of him coldly.

"What other reason is needed for this?" Kudo Shinichi chuckled, "One person may have a motive to kill another person, but if you save someone in a desperate situation, you won't think so much about it, right? "

"Yes, that's true. I didn't even think about this. I was really stupid..."

When Mao Lilan realized for the first time that the two people's views were so similar, he also fainted due to high fever.

"orchid!"

Kudo Shinichi hurriedly picked her up.

At this time, the silver-haired murderer also raised the gun in his hand.

"You'd better not do this," Kudo Shinichi turned his back to him, "The fact that you are injured now means that the pursuers are also nearby."

"Your gun is not equipped with a silencer, and the effect is obvious. However, I don't have time to arrest you now. I can let you go for the time being this time. It will not be that simple if you encounter me next time."

"I will definitely find all your charges and evidence so that you have no chance to retract your confession. I don't believe that I can't send you to the 18th level of hell..."

Just like that, the silver-haired murderer could only watch the boy in front of him hug the girl and leave leisurely...

An unprecedented feeling welled up in her heart.
