Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

It was nine o'clock in the morning when he received the call from Mouri Ran. At that time, he had just sent Haibara Ai to school.

At first, Yuichi Shiina was a little surprised by this phone call.

After all, Mao Lilan should also be in school at this time.

However, after he learned the content of the phone call, his expression became a little strange.

When he hurried to the Mouri Detective Agency, Mouri Ran was sitting on the sofa in a daze, her cell phone tightly in her hand.

Seeing Shiina Yuichi appear, Mao Li Ran quickly stood up, her eyes slightly red, tears swirling in the corners of her eyes, as if they were about to fall out in the next second, and she shouted in a trembling voice.

"Brother Yuichi."

Yuichi Shiina quickly walked to Ran Mouri's side, reached out and pulled her to sit down, trying to keep his tone calm.

"Xiao Lan, I know you are panicking now, but I need you to calm down and tell me what happened in detail."

"Just like in the Rice Flower Municipal Building."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

Shiina Yuichi's voice gradually became softer, and he reached out his hand and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

With his words, Mao Lilan's mood calmed down a little.

Then the story began to unfold in her mouth.

Mao Lilan didn't get up early today because she had to take care of Uncle Mao Li who had a hangover last night, so she was busy until very late.

It was Conan who woke her up in the morning.

But strangely, Uncle Maori disappeared early in the morning.

At first, Mao Lilan thought that Uncle Mao Li woke up because he was hungry and went out to buy breakfast.

Considering that she and Conan were about to be late, she left a small note without thinking and hurried out the door.

But halfway through the journey, Mao Lilan suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to bring her karate uniform.

It just so happens that there is a club activity after school today.

So she had to go back home again.

Because Conan was almost at school, he didn't go back with Mouri Ran.

She had originally planned to grab her uniform and take a taxi to school.

But when passing the second floor, she suddenly heard a phone ringing. Mao Lilan was curious and answered the call.

On the other side came the voice of a woman she had never heard of before.

Mao Lilan thought that it was a client who came to place an order, so she planned to ask her to call back later on the pretext that Uncle Mao Li was not at home.

But strangely, the other party did not mention the commission and asked him to look in the mailbox downstairs.

Said it was a nice gift.

Mao Lilan was confused, but of course she obediently went to the mailbox downstairs as the other party asked.

There was indeed a white envelope inside as the other party said.

But it doesn't look like a gift.

When she returned to the living room again, driven by curiosity, Mao Lilan finally opened the envelope.

Inside is a stack of photos.

There is only one person in these photos.

That's her father, Kogoro Mori.

Uncle Maori in the photo was tied up on a chair, with a white cloth stuffed in his mouth and his head drooping as if he was unconscious.

The environment around Uncle Maori is a bit shabby.

There was some green grass growing out of the stone bricks on the ground, and it looked like this was a place that had been abandoned for some time.

Just when she was feeling a little overwhelmed by looking at these photos, the phone call came again.

And this time she didn't waste any time.

Instead, he pointed out a person's name.

Shiina Yuichi!

That's right, she came to find Shiina Yuichi.

The other party also asked that if they didn't want Uncle Mori to get into any accidents, they should notify Shiina Yuichi as soon as possible and not call the police.

Once you call the police, the next time you send them something it won't be photos.

Although as the daughter of a famous detective this was not the first time she had encountered such a thing, since it involved her father, Mao Lilan couldn't help but panic.

After some thought, she decided to call Yuichi Shiina.

Learned the whole story.

Shiina Yuichi understood it all at once.

The kidnapper was not someone else, but his teacher, Kiana.

He had imagined countless ways that Kiana could attack him.

But he never expected that the target would be someone close to him.

This was indeed beyond Shiina Yuichi's expectations.

Yuichi Shiina picked up the family photos with a very calm expression. It was difficult for him to see any useful information from these photos.

These photos were taken from very tricky angles.

For a moment, Shiina Yuichi couldn't figure out where this place was.

But he didn't feel surprised, after all, his opponent was an old fox.

Trying to catch her flaws based on photos alone is probably wishful thinking.

"Xiaolan, have you called the police?" Shiina Yuichi put down the photo and said.

Mao Lilan lowered her head and shook it gently.

"Then Uncle Mori's life should not be in danger for the time being." Shiina Yuichi said affirmatively.

Mao Lilan slowly raised her head, and a strange light suddenly flashed in her dim eyes.

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

After Shiina Yuichi and Mao Lilan's eyes met, he continued, "First of all, the other party's target is not your father, but me."

"So she won't do anything to your father until I officially show up."

"Secondly, judging from the timing of her two phone calls, it's clear that she was paying attention here at the time."

These words came out like thunder from a clear sky.

Mao Lilan rubbed her sore eyes, her expression becoming somewhat unbelievable, "She was nearby at the time?"

Shiina Yuu nodded, then explained, "That's right, otherwise, how could she know that you returned to the office and got the photos."

"She went to so much trouble to kidnap Uncle Maori. If she can't contact my family in time, how can she get me out?"

As Yuichi Shiina continued to speak, Ran Maoli also felt that it made sense.

The reason why Yuichi Shiina was able to make such an inference was mainly due to his understanding of Kianna.

If Kiana really kept the seven-day promise.

Then she will definitely settle the matter with me today.

This has always been her code of conduct.

"So it was a wise decision for you not to call the police." Shiina Yuichi tried to make his tone softer.

As he said this, he was secretly rejoicing in his heart.

If Mao Lilan had not contacted him immediately but chose to call the police, Uncle Mao Li would most likely have been in great danger.

As for Kianna.

Shiina Yuichi bet that she was 100% sure of escaping the police.

And her next target will definitely be Ran Maoli who disobeys the arrangements.

There is no doubt about this.

"Then what should we do next?" There was some anxiety in Mao Lilan's voice.

She could not calm down when she thought that her father was still in danger.

Shiina Yuichi also felt a little tricky.

It’s not that I’m troubled by not being able to find Kianna.

As long as he was willing and waited until night, Kiana would not be able to help but jump in front of him.

The most difficult problem now is Uncle Maori.

Shiina Yuichi's eyes fell on a photo in front of him.

Uncle Maori in the photo has a bomb under his chair.

Although the location was very hidden, Yuichi Shiina noticed it at first sight due to his profession.

Because the photo was not taken very clearly, Yuichi Shiina was not sure what type of bomb it was.

It's a time bomb.

If I hadn't been able to find Uncle Maori in time, the last trip to Osaka would probably have been the last time they saw each other.

But if the bomb is triggered by induction, it would be even worse.

Judging from the photo, Uncle Maori has been knocked unconscious.

After waking up, he will definitely struggle violently, and the slightest movement will detonate the bomb.

That's why Yuichi Shiina has such a strong sense of urgency in his heart.

Kiana really gave him a big problem.

At this moment, the phone in Mao Lilan's hand rang again.

She subconsciously looked at Shiina Yuichi, and after seeing the other party nodded, Mao Lilan answered the phone.

No idea what was said on the other end, but Ran Mouri suddenly put the phone close to Yuichi Shiina.

"It's that person. She said she wants you to answer the phone." Mao Lilan said with a worried expression.

At that time, Shiina Yuichi picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

Inside was the voice that he was very familiar with.

"My good student, do you like the gift your teacher gave you?"

Hearing this, Shiina Yuichi said in a deep voice, "The person you are looking for is me, why do you want to involve innocent people?"

Then, there was a low laugh from the other end of the phone, the voice full of sarcasm and ridicule.

"Hey, since when do people from the organization care about the lives of ordinary people?"

"You don't really think that you can wash away the bloody smell on your body after two years of peace."

"Or are you tired of being a righteous policeman and want to change your taste?"

Hearing Kiana's laughter, Shiina Yuichi's expression did not show much change.

He wasn't going to argue with Kiana here.

"What do you want to do?" Shiina Yuichi asked calmly, "Even if it's a test question, you should give some hints."

He had a vague feeling in his heart.

Kiana didn't make this call simply to confirm whether he was at the Maori Detective Agency.

There must be a deeper meaning here, but he just hasn't figured out the twists and turns yet.

"Test questions?" Kiana was silent for a moment on the phone, followed by another burst of laughter.

She seemed very satisfied with Shiina Yuichi's choice of words.

"Then let's have a test using your terms." Kiana's voice became a little serious.

Shiina Yuichi didn't say anything, but waited silently for her next words.

"I decorated the Beihua Municipal Building with more than 100 bombs... Yes, that's the place where you showed your kindness and saved many people."

"I remember that the girl next to you now is also one of the survivors of that incident."

"As long as you can dismantle them all before 3 o'clock this afternoon, how about that?"

After hearing what Kiana said, Shiina Yuichi was slightly stunned.

Kiana's understanding of him has unexpectedly made such great progress.

When he did that in the Rice Flower Municipal Building, the police did not disclose his personal information to the media.

It just mentioned that a kind-hearted person did a good deed.

Although some time has passed, Shiina Yuichi's information has been well hidden.

No one except the police would leak it.

So... is there a spy for Kianna in the police, or maybe an undercover agent for the Scavenger?

However, Yuichi Shiina is more inclined to believe that Kiana learned about the incident through other channels.

But no matter what, Kiana had already set the test for him.

As a candidate, there is only one thing he has to do.

I saw Shiina Yuichi slowly raised his head, glanced at Mouri Ran who was worried, took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of determination.

"After passing this round of tests, I need to know the exact location of that uncle."

"no problem."

Kiana on the phone also agreed very readily.

Soon, the call was hung up.

Ran Mouri looked at Yuichi Shiina with an expression as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Yuichi Shiina forced a faint smile, then slowly stood up, rubbed Ran Mouri's head and spoke.

"Don't worry, I will bring Uncle Maori back to you intact, trust me."

After getting the assurance from Yuichi Shiina, Ran Mouri's panicked heart finally felt a little relieved.

Then, after giving some instructions to Mouri Ran, Yuichi Shiina quickly left the office.

Ran Mouri came to the window and saw that Yuichi Shiina had driven away. She couldn't help but pray silently in her heart.

Dad, Brother Youyi, you must come back safely.
