Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 210: Hotaru x Xiaolan, Urban Hunter!
"Don't be too hard on yourself. You're a newcomer and you've done pretty well." Yingsheng said, "By the way, Miss Aida has been shot. Ask where she is and if she needs to go to the hospital."

Xiaolan quickly looked down and realized that her pale face was not simply due to fear.

"Miss...how are you?"

It was a very poor cover-up, both Aida Masayo and Hotaroo thought, but it was okay to just pretend to be ignorant.

Aida Masayo shook her head slightly: "It was just a scrape on my shoulder, nothing serious." She had indeed been covering her left shoulder with her right hand, blood seeping out from between her fingers. "You don't need to go to the hospital, just clean the wound and bandage it."

Yingsheng on the other end nodded slightly. This guy's psychological quality is indeed top-notch.

"Turn left, Alice, and throw a grenade behind you if you want."

Xiaolan turned into the alley without looking back. At the end of the alley was a red brick wall covered with purple marigolds. A figure rushed closer, casting a shadow. The English words drawn with a blue fluorescent pen lit up.
——God loves the world!
Bang!
Bang!
Xiaolan stepped heavily in the sewage, rushed upward diagonally, and stepped on the crown of thorns graffitied by the saint, leaving a black water-stained footprint. The figure turned in the air and was already standing on the high red wall, on top of the flowers.

She looked back and saw that the alley was still empty, but the sound of messy footsteps could be heard.

She leaped down, and the man in the suit, who was rushing the fastest, only had time to see a black shadow flash by, just like a nimble cat.

At the end of the other side of the narrow alley was a barbed wire fence and a small door wrapped in circles of iron chains. Xiaolan kicked sideways and the latch at the other end of the wire door fell off.

Passing through discarded cardboard boxes and garbage bags, I suddenly saw a bustling street scene with bustling crowds of people and dazzling neon lights. The cautious peeping eyes above my head gradually disappeared, and the dry and hot air hit me in my face.

In a trance, Xiaolan thought she had come to another world.

"Alice, now is not the time to be in a daze. Turn right, take a taxi, and ask Ms. Aida if there is anyone you can trust. You can take her there. It's up to you to decide what the voice is. Anyway, she is a smart person."

Yingsheng spoke in the headset.

This familiar voice finally made Xiaolan feel real. She did as she was told, feeling relieved. The voice she used was a lowered version that almost made it more obvious.

Miss Aida thought for a long time after hearing this, and finally spoke after getting in the taxi:
"The Asai family at 6-chome-11, Beika-cho."

Watching the taxi go away, Yingsheng lowered his head and huddled under the parapet, put the Remington 700 provided by the FBI into his backpack, and half-crouched towards the door he came from. But he did not go downstairs, but took out a grenade from his pocket, and used the fishing line he had cut in advance to set up a simple trip mine.

He walked to the rooftop on the other side, pulled out a simple thick canvas parachute that he had just made from his backpack, and jumped.

The wind whistled, filling my ears and the parachute, but even when fully deployed, the parachute was only the size of a shopping mall parasol and provided seriously insufficient lift.

The entire city rose rapidly, and the speed became faster and faster, as if the heaven and earth were turning upside down and falling down.

Boom——! ! !
There was a huge explosion on the rooftop. Yingsheng, who had already fallen halfway down the building, grinned, looked up, and exhaled.

[Killing Intent-3, Madness·Enlightenment, Air! ]

The air that instantly became scorching hot provided a huge lift, and Yingsheng's falling momentum suddenly slowed down. After a while, in the stunned sight of passers-by, he lightly landed in the busy traffic, and the traffic was brought to a standstill.

Yingsheng calmly folded and put away his parachute, pressed the white cat mask on his face, walked to the taxi he had just stopped, opened the door and got in.

"Sir, Qingshan Pharmaceutical Research Institute, do you know where it is? Please drive faster."

at the same time.

At Yingsheng's destination, in a certain confinement room, Vodka slammed his fist on the table, his face full of annoyance. "Chianti, what are you doing? Can't you even kill an ordinary person?"

"Tsk, Vodka, I only follow your arrangements because of Gin's orders, but you are not my superior."

Chianti retorted in dissatisfaction, but he also knew that he had been too playful for a moment and seemed to have caused a big mess, so he hurried to make up for it.

"Based on that guy's psychological quality, he is definitely not an ordinary person. She just made a phone call, and in less than ten minutes, the snipers and assault soldiers who came to rescue her were all in place. Her identity is definitely not simple."

Vodka also knows this, but!

"Why did you take so long, Chianti? You could have dealt with her the moment she left this street."

Chianti was silent. She couldn't answer this question.

It's just a joke, what else can it be?

Vodka rubbed his brows with a headache. In the past, when carrying out missions, the eldest brother would make careful plans. Under his majesty, others dared not slack off and even if there were mistakes, the eldest brother could usually cover them with his strong personal abilities.

So everything is working fine.

But now that the big brother has fallen, all kinds of problems have been exposed.

Vodka sighed. He was entrusted with an important task by his elder brother. He was usually lazy. He racked his brains but felt a little overwhelmed. The most important thing was that he lacked authority. He couldn't give orders to others.

"Chianti, don't go after them. Shirley is the most important. Come back to protect the institute."

"I see."

Having done something wrong, Chianti finally behaved a little better, but that was also because she had not noticed any trace of the two men.

The fact that the charge man could jump over a four-meter-high wall while holding a person was outrageous to her, but having seen Gin's performance before, she could understand it to some extent.

But what about the second one?
She sent a group of outsiders to ambush in various places in the corridor, but no one showed up after a long time. She drew a lot and went up to the rooftop to see, and was blown up directly. After that, everyone rushed up, but found that there was no one on the rooftop.

What about people?

flew away?
Almost in an instant, Chianti thought of Kaito Kidd's hang glider and immediately gave up the pursuit.

It's impossible.

When changing the sniper position to guard the institute again, Chianti hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Is Tequila dead?"

"How should I know? He is being transported back to the institute for rescue. It depends on his luck."

Vodka's tone was a little impatient, but considering the current situation, he tried his best to suppress it.

"Cohen, Aida Masayo might inform Mizuki Hotaru, and then he might become an enemy regardless of whether he hurt the elder brother or not. What's the situation on your side now? Are you sure you can get rid of him if the situation gets bad?"

Cohen was silent for a few breaths: "He seems... to be being trained by Mao Lilan."
