Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

Xingchen stood on the roof of an abandoned building.

Not far away is the warehouse where the battle with Gin just happened.

All I saw were various red and blue lights flashing below, and dozens of water jets shot towards the warehouse where a raging fire was burning at the same time, causing bursts of white smoke to rise immediately.

"It's over, but the time is almost up." Xingchen took out the watch from his trouser pocket and looked at the time on it. The time was passing by little by little.

But why hasn't he felt it yet?

It felt like it was getting smaller. Could it really be the antidote? How long had Conan lasted before? It seemed to be about two hours.

He drank the white wine at almost seven o'clock, and finished the PK with Gin at eight o'clock. Now it's ten o'clock. Maybe it's because he drank too much, so he insisted on it for a while longer.

He frowned, thinking, something has gone wrong with the plan.

If this continues, the fire in the warehouse and its surrounding areas will soon be put out.

Because this was an abandoned warehouse, Xingchen had checked it in advance and found that there were not many flammable items inside. Most of them were placed there by Xingchen.

Although he didn't expect the fire to burn the entire dock, covering a total of 500 square meters.

Just think about it, will he spend his whole life in jail?

But he did give some hints to Conan that he had come to this pier, but he never showed up again.

I guess Conan thought he was burned to death in the warehouse.

Why not just go and meet Conan, Xingchen thought.

It's not time to take action yet.

thump!

"Ah, uh." That feeling made Xingchen kneel on the ground instantly, holding his chest. It was like the bones in his body were melting. It was more painful than when he grew bigger before.

The heart was beating again.

In just a few minutes, Xingchen looked at the clothes that didn't fit him at all and thought, he has changed back.

Xingchen thought to himself, why is there still smoke coming out of my body? Could it be that all the excess has evaporated?

Then take out the clothes prepared in advance from the bag next to it, and put the changed clothes, including gloves and mask, into the bag.

Then he came to an alley behind the abandoned building, where a yellow Beetle had been parked for a long time.

"Xiaochen, you're back." When Dr. Agasa saw Xingchen coming, he looked at the time and found that it was half an hour later than previously predicted.

Even Dr. Agasa didn't expect that he could last so long.

"Xiaochen, is the fire a bit big?" Dr. Agasa was listening to the news report and could see the flames rising into the sky not far away.

"Uh, this. Maybe there are other flammable materials behind it." Xingchen scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Well, Doctor, take these things back first. I need to go see them quickly." Xingchen put the bag in the back seat, which took a while.

There's a change of plan.

If we don’t get through now, the fire in front will be extinguished.

In fact, the fire started burning faster than Xingchen had imagined. Because this place was very close to the sea, the fire department chose to directly pump seawater to put out the fire.

The fire at the warehouse was effectively controlled and extinguished after burning for just over an hour. Although there was still a large area of ​​flames behind, as the firefighting progressed, a large area of ​​charred area was cleared.

Because the fire was getting smaller visibly, and after repeated confirmation that it was safe.

The police were cleaning up the crime scene at the warehouse, and they found a charred body. But from the traces left here, they could probably guess that the body was that of Ms. Hirota Masami.

Because the police received a clue and a key from someone, they found the stolen 1 billion yuan in cash there.

Along with the cash, there were also pieces of paper.

It said that she was deeply sinful and needed to cleanse her soul in fire.

Combined with the fact that there was only one fire nearby, it was easy to conclude that the body was Hirota Masami. And out of humanitarianism, they did not conduct an autopsy.

"This is a burnt card found at the scene." Inspector Megure found a burnt and deformed metal card nearby and handed it to Mouri Ran.

Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri arrived at the scene fifteen minutes after the fire.

"This is Chen's card!" Conan recognized it at a glance. Judging from the lack of any red burn marks, this was one of the cards that Xingchen had shown him before. It was probably a jack of diamonds or a king of hearts.

Mao Lilan also recognized it. After all, Xingchen usually drank tea and read comics at home and played with the deck of metal cards.

It's just unclear how this card survived the fire.

All I know is that Chen most likely met with an accident.

"But we didn't find him or his body." Inspector Megure's words gave them a glimmer of hope, but Inspector Megure felt that it was too difficult to survive the fire.

They had just searched around the periphery but couldn't find Xingchen.

"Xiaochen, it's my fault that I didn't think highly of him." Mao Lilan took the card and held it in her arms, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Maori Kogoro hugged Maori Ran's shoulders, he was also very upset. A good person disappeared just like that.

"Lan." Conan whispered, if he had found it earlier, earlier, two people would not have died in succession, although Xingchen's body was not found.

If you look at the scene, the fire burned the entire pier.

However, he believes that the hope of escape in such a scenario is slim, as people may suffer symptoms such as coma if they inhale large amounts of smoke.

Also, Xingchen doesn't have any props for fast movement.

So he could only hope that Xingchen had not come to this place or had escaped.

But the cards that Inspector Megure showed him gave him a blow from reality.

He wouldn't have been here if he didn't have this card. It can only be said that Ming Xingchen went in to stop Hirota Masami.

Conan stood in the warehouse, looking at the fire, even though it was five meters away from them.

There was also a group of firefighters putting out the flames, and the fire was getting smaller and smaller as they wished, but he felt deeply powerless in his heart.

When everyone present thought so.

Suddenly a voice broke the silence.

"Hey! Conan, Xiaolan." Xingchen ran towards them all wet and said. Why was he wet? Because he wanted to find a reason.

"Yes, Xiaochen." Mao Lilan saw Xingchen running from another direction, ran towards Xingchen, and then hugged Xingchen tightly.

It was as if he was afraid that Xingchen would disappear in the next second.

She looked at Xingchen carefully and felt relieved only after confirming that he was safe and sound.

Drop~

A tear flowed down Mao Lilan's cheek and fell on the tip of Xingchen's nose.

These are tears.

Xingchen was stunned for a moment. He stood there in a daze and suddenly felt a little guilty.

It seems like I've gone a little overboard.

"Xiaochen, promise your sister. Don't disappear and leave suddenly like this again, okay?" Mao Lilan wiped her tears and said, holding Xingchen's shoulders.

"Well, I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan." Xingchen said apologetically.

This guy still made him worry about him, and Conan suddenly felt relieved.
