Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

When Kisaki Eri saw Inspector Megure, her eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again, and an ominous premonition spread throughout her body.

"Maolita..." The hoarse voice became distorted due to nervousness.

Megure Jusan quickly said soothingly: "Don't be nervous, we are already doing our best to search for Mao Li, and I believe there will be news soon."

"He..." Hibari looked excited.

"Let me give her a preliminary examination first, and you police can continue the questioning later." The doctor walked to Kisaki Eri's bedside.

Megure Jusan nodded and stood aside waiting.

Mao Lilan looked at the doctor nervously, "My mother..."

The doctor smiled and said, "The operation was successful. You can be discharged after resting for a while."

"Ran, that's great, Aunt Eri is fine." Kudo Shinichi looked at the crying Ran Mouri and handed her his handkerchief.

Mao Lilan took the handkerchief, wiped the tears from her face, and forced a smile, but the smile was fleeting, "I don't know what happened to my father. It's been so long."

Thinking of the uncertain life and death of Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran felt as if her heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand. Her delicate features were all twisted into a ball, shrouded in deep anxiety. She kept praying in her heart that her father was safe, but every minute and every second of waiting was torture.

Kudo Shinichi looked away and stared at the white corner of the ward. He was not good at comforting others, so he just pursed his lips.

The doctor turned to look at Megure Juzo who was waiting on the side and nodded slightly, "No problem, but try not to stimulate the patient too much." After that, he left the ward.

"Yes." Megure Jusan looked at Kisaki Eri on the bed with a serious face, and took out a pen and a notebook from his arms, "Can you tell me about the attack on you?"

"Yes." In a hoarse voice, Hibiki Eri told everything that happened. From buying medicine to being attacked, from her trying to get Xiaolan to her being caught, those people threatened her to tell Xiaolan's whereabouts, and moved her from one place to another. Later, she was beaten and bruised until she was finally rescued.

Mao Lilan covered her mouth and sobbed.

The more Megure Juzo listened, the more his brows frowned. He had never imagined that there would be such a group of thugs in Japan.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"The people who attacked you didn't even cover their faces?!" Megure Jusan looked nervous. He knew very well what it meant when the criminals didn't cover their faces. That meant no one would be left alive. So it was a miracle that Kisaki Eri was able to survive. So what about Mouri Kogoro?

"Yes." Hibiki lowered her eyes slightly. Recalling these experiences made her feel scared. "The leader was a tall man with a double chin and a mustache. He wore a black hat, but the brim was pulled down very low. The light was dim, so I couldn't see clearly."

Megure Juzo was writing down everything on the paper.

Hibiki lowered her eyes and thought carefully, "He seems to be wearing a collar-like object around his neck, which can change the speaker's voice."

Mao Lilan sobbed twice, "Yes, I not only heard them change their voices into dad's voice, but I also heard them calling me with mom's voice."

"Collar-type voice changer!" Kudo Shinichi clenched his hands into fists nervously and shouted to Officer Megure, "This is the voice changer invented by Dr. Agasa."

Megure Jusan looked stern and said in a deep voice, "It seems that we have one more direction to investigate. Take good care of your injuries. We will come back when we need you."

Kisaki Eri watched Megure Jusan leave, with worry in her eyes.

"Shinichi, will my dad be okay?"

"No, no..." Kudo Shinichi's voice became smaller and smaller. He was unsure. He turned his head to look at the cloudy sky outside the window and thought: If Mingyue was here, maybe I could discuss this with her.

At this time, Mingyue was lazily leaning on the soft sofa.

"If you missed breakfast, you have to eat lunch. You stay here, I'll go get some." The man with the red fox mask glanced at the gray rabbit who had no posture when sitting.

Mingyue looked at the man in the red fox mask walking towards the door and yawned, "I guess they are just outside the door."

"The elimination match is about to start. Aren't you going? Or are you going to hide here forever?" The man in the red fox mask glanced at the door and wondered if the three people knew that Gray Rabbit was here. Would they really wait that long? Without even knocking on the door and asking?

"Oh." Mingyue sighed, sat up straight, and looked out the window at the dark sky and the surging black waves.

The man in the red fox mask walked to the door, put his ear to it, and listened to the sounds outside. It was very quiet, no footsteps, no talking. He reached out and grasped the door handle, twisted it gently, and opened the door a crack, and then saw four people standing at the door.

The black wolf leaned against the wall, as if taking a nap.

Siamese cat staring at owl.

The owl smiled awkwardly when he saw the man in the red fox mask.

The gray wolf was much more proactive. He took a step forward and, smiling, handed a paper bag full of food to the man wearing the red fox mask.

The red fox masked man took it and was about to say thank you when he saw the gray wolf and the Siamese cat both put a finger to their lips and made a gesture of silence. He could only nod slightly and turned to enter the room. Suddenly, he felt a gust of sea breeze with a wet and salty smell blowing. He didn't bother to close the door and ran straight to the sofa.

At this time, there was no one on the sofa, the glass door leading to the balcony was opened, and cold wind rushed into the room.

The man with the red fox mask quickly ran to the balcony and looked around. His hands holding the balcony railing suddenly tightened, and his knuckles turned white. Gray Rabbit was nowhere to be seen. Sweat dripped down his forehead and was dried by the sea breeze. The chill spread throughout his body.

The four people outside the door noticed something was wrong.

Scotland frowned, "I'm at the door, you guys go in."

Bourbon and Ley quickly rushed into the room. Ley searched the first floor while Bourbon ran straight up to the second floor.

At this moment, the evil puppeteer's expression suddenly became very nervous. He quickly turned his head and looked around.

"What happened?" Lei ran to the man in the red fox mask and saw that he looked anxious and had not put down the bag in his hand.

Bourbon came down from upstairs, looking serious, "Gray Rabbit is missing?"

The man in the red fox mask looked towards the boundless sea, his sight searching every wave, "She was still here just now, just for a moment..."

Lei's dark green eyes narrowed, but he quickly denied his guess, "She can't possibly seek death."

"Hey, Miss Gray Rabbit!"

The three people in the room quickly looked towards the door. The person who had just spoken was the evil puppeteer wearing an owl mask.

"Did you see her?" Scotland narrowed his eyes and stared at the evil puppeteer beside him.

"Yes! A shadow flashed by." The evil puppeteer pointed in a direction.

Scotland's face was grim, "Really? Why didn't I see that?"

"She's very fast. Aren't you looking for her? Let's go quickly." The evil puppeteer was about to slip away, but was grabbed by the arm by the gray wolf.

"I'm sorry, can you describe the scene you just saw in detail? For example, which fork in the road did she jump out from, and which entrance did she run into?"

The evil puppeteer broke out in a cold sweat and pointed to the distance and said, "It was just a moment, how could I have time to count..."

"Come in first." The man in the red fox mask looked at the gray wolf and the owl, "Those gamblers will probably come here soon after hearing the noise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard noisy footsteps coming from afar.

"I guess she should be hiding in that corner of the room." The man in the red fox mask looked around the room.

Scotland dragged the reluctant evil puppeteer into the room and closed the door.

The red fox masked man looked at the evil puppeteer and said, "I'll watch him, you guys go find him."

"Sorry for the trouble." Scotland said with a hint of apology on his face, "Please feel free to enjoy the food in the bag."

"Thank you. I'm hungry too." The man with the red fox mask was not polite. He opened the package and started to eat.

However, after searching the room thoroughly, the three bottles of whiskey could not find the gray rabbit.

Suddenly, the cruise ship's broadcast sounded: "The third elimination match is about to begin. Participants with letter name tags, please go to Room 3."

Bourbon clenched his back teeth. He couldn't understand why Mingyue wanted to slip away again.

Lei suggested, "Let's go to room 3 first. She should be there already."

"I left some food for her. Let's go." The man with the red fox mask shook the bag in his hand.

The evil puppeteer exhaled carefully, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed.

Entering room 3, you can see Mingyue hiding behind the host with three bottles of whiskey.

Unlike the previous rounds, the host of this elimination match was a woman. Her tall and hot figure made her very conspicuous in the crowd. "I am the host, Quaishou. This round of elimination matches only has the main game, no loser resurrection match, and there may be more than one participant who is about to be eliminated."
