Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 131 Yukiko: Hayashi Hideichi! Are you going to deny it?

The three robbers in the haunted house were quickly found and arrested by the police, and the unlucky guy who was shot in the shoulder was also sent to the hospital for treatment.

"Lin Jun, the bandit leader just mentioned the ruby," Officer Megure ran over. "Did you see it?"

"It's in the hands of the purple-haired girl," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile, "She was hunted by the robbers because she wanted to protect the gem from falling into their hands."

"I didn't expect to find the stolen gem here," Inspector Megure sighed, "but it's a pity that the owner of the jewelry store is already dead."

"Dead?" Maori Kogoro asked in surprise, "Could he have been killed by bandits as well?"

"A few days ago, the same day that Lin-kun went to the Metropolitan Police Department, we received a report that workers found a dead body while cleaning the sewers at Okachimachi Jewelry Street," Officer Megure explained. "The body was eventually identified as Masakazu Kuroda, the owner of the jewelry store where the ruby was stolen."

"This case has not been thoroughly investigated yet, and we cannot rule out the possibility that these robbers committed the crime."

After Inspector Megure said this, Hayashi Shuichi also remembered.

When Inspector Samezaki saw him in the office of Section 1, he invited Hayashi Shuichi to go to the scene with him, but he refused.

"Oh, right, that purple-haired girl wanted to give the ruby to me before," Lin Xiuyi said. "She also said at the time that the robbers were in cahoots with the jewelry store owner. The ruby was originally stolen by the jewelry store owner, and then the owner was killed because of an internal conflict."

"Is this really the case?" Officer Megure hurried to report to Inspector Samezaki and then went to the hospital.

Lin Xiuyi also wanted to go and see what was happening with the purple-haired girl, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the three girls all clamored to go with him.

"I..." Maori Kogoro was also a little moved. He was obsessed with the beautiful woman in short shorts and black stockings, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Lin Xiuyi as soon as he opened his mouth. "The police car is full, Kogoro, you should go back to the izakaya first."

What Lin Xiuyi said was true. The three girls were sitting in the back row, and he and Inspector Megure were sitting in the front row, so there was indeed no empty seat.

Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to give up, and the remaining four people, including Shuichi Hayashi, followed Inspector Megure to the Beika Central Hospital.

When they arrived, the purple-haired girl had passed the critical period after rescue and was waiting in the ward for the anesthetic to wear off.

"By the way, we found this from her hand," the doctor handed a red gem to Inspector Megure.

"Yes, this is the stolen jewel," Inspector Megure was overjoyed. "By the way, when will that girl wake up?"

"About half an hour to an hour?" the doctor replied. "Everyone's body type is different, so the anesthesia effect varies."

"Mr. Lin, I'll leave this place in your care. I'll take the ruby back first."

Inspector Megure said hello and left in a hurry.

He didn't dare keep the gemstone worth hundreds of millions of yen in his hands for too long. If something happened, he would probably have to lose his salary for the next few decades.

As for the purple-haired girl, with Lin Xiuyi's testimony, she was not only a victim, but also a hero who fought against the robbers. Naturally, the police did not need to follow her like they would a suspect.

……

Ward,

Kisaki Eri looked at the purple-haired girl carefully. "I didn't expect it to be so strange... She's such a young girl. I thought she would be older."

"Although what she did wasn't a bad thing, it was still against the law," Lingzi frowned. "Can we really not tell the police her true identity?"

Yukiko Fujimine listened to the conversation between the two in a daze. She had long given up on guessing the identity of the purple-haired girl on her own.

But if she asked like that, she was worried that Kisaki Eri and Reiko would laugh at her.

Seeing that the two girls were focused on the bed, Fujimine Yukiko quietly pulled Lin Xiuyi out of the ward. They walked all the way to the corner of the stairs leading to the emergency passage, and only stopped when they could no longer see the ward.

"Why? So mysterious?" Lin Xiuyi wondered.

"Shuichi, who is that purple-haired girl?" Fujimine Yukiko couldn't help but ask impatiently.

"You haven't figured it out yet?" Lin Xiuyi said with a smile.

"I'm not planning on becoming a police officer, lawyer, or prosecutor like you guys in the future. So what if my reasoning skills are a little worse?" Fujimine Yukiko pouted and shook Hayashi Shuichi's arm coquettishly. "Just tell me, I've been... all that way before!"

Seeing her blushing face, as if she had suffered a great loss, Lin Xiuyi felt wronged.

"Hey, you were the one who took the initiative, and it was just a kiss on the cheek!"

"That's all?" Fujimine Yukiko stamped her feet in anger. "In my entire life, besides my dad, you're the only man I've kissed on the cheek! Are you trying to deny it?"

"...Okay," Lin Xiuyi nodded helplessly, "but you have to promise not to tell anyone about this."

"I can swear!" Yukiko Fujimine quickly raised her right hand.

"It's actually very simple. If someone pretends to be you and does something bad, how would you react?" Lin Xiuyi asked.

"Of course, we should find that person and teach him a lesson..."

At this point, Fujimine Yukiko finally reacted.
"No way, that girl is actually a Phantom Thief... No wonder the girl with glasses and Reiko said those weird things before."

"Okay, can we go back now?" Lin Xiuyi said as he was about to go back.

"Wait," Fujimine Yukiko suddenly grabbed him.

"What else?"

Lin Xiuyi had just finished asking when the girl came over and kissed him on the face again.
"This is your reward for answering the question!"

Fujimine Yukiko said this with a red face, not daring to look at Lin Xiuyi's reaction. She quickly turned around and walked quickly towards the ward.

"This……"

Lin Xiuyi touched the wet marks on his face, feeling a bit amused and helpless.

He must be in love these days. Why do girls keep kissing him?
……

"Where have you been?"

As soon as Lin Xiuyi and the other person walked into the ward, Kisaki Eri asked with a suspicious look on her face.

Dissatisfied with her interrogating attitude, Fujimine Yukiko snorted coldly: "Glasses girl, Shuichi is not yours. Do I need to report to you if I go out with him?"

"You!" Feiying's face turned pale with anger. "Even if Xiuyi is not mine, it has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

"Your words don't count," Fujimine Yukiko said proudly, "I..."

Lin Xiuyi was afraid that she would tell him what happened just now, so he quickly explained: "It's nothing serious, I just went out for some fresh air. The smell of disinfectant in the ward was too strong."
