Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Seeing his friend's disheveled appearance with cream all over his head, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but shrink back, feeling a pang of sympathy.

Being surrounded by so many girls doesn't seem like a good thing.

"So," Ruri suddenly spoke, a hint of slyness in her voice, "you're not envious of Shuichi having several girls like him anymore, are you?"

"Ah."

Kogoro Mouri nodded subconsciously, then realized what his girlfriend had said.

Oops!

He quickly turned his head and, sure enough, saw Liuli standing with her arms crossed, a wide smirk on her face, glaring at him angrily.
"Hmph, I only wanted to test you, but I didn't expect you to actually think that way!"

"I did not mean that!"

Kogoro Mouri was terrified and quickly waved his hands to explain.
"I mean... I mean..."

At the same time, taking advantage of Chikage Tomizawa's inattention, Rei Furuya dipped his finger into some cream from his plate and smeared it on Narumi's face, which had just been wiped clean.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then picked up the remaining cake from the plate and chased after Furuya Rei, about to smear it on his face.

"Stop!"

"Come and catch me!"

The two little ones chased each other around the living room, smearing cream on the sofa and scattering cake crumbs all over the floor, turning the whole room into a mess.

Lin Xiuyi had just finished cleaning the cake off her head with the help of Orikasa Midori, Eri Kisaki, and Yukiko. She was about to wipe her hands with a tissue when the doorbell suddenly rang, followed by a series of rapid bangs on the door, so forceful it seemed like they were going to smash the door open.

"Who is it?" Reiko tilted her head curiously, with half a strawberry still in her mouth.

Hearing the commotion, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to the doorway.

"I'll go take a look." Lin Xiu walked quickly to the door and looked out through the peephole.

A strange girl stood at the door, wearing a long black leather skirt that reached her ankles, with a black T-shirt printed with a skull on top. Her hair was dyed a striking bright blue, and she looked like a delinquent.

He opened the door with a puzzled look in his eyes, about to ask the other person's name, when he heard Orisaka Midori behind him exclaim in surprise, "Aya, what brings you here?"

The girl called Xiaocai leaned against the door frame, panting heavily, her chest heaving and her forehead covered in sweat.

She grabbed Orisaka Midori's arm, her face full of anxiety: "Boss, something's happened!"

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly." Midori's heart jumped into her throat, and she quickly supported her.

"That bastard Igawa brought people to cause trouble at the flower shop!"

Xiao Cai was so anxious that her speech became somewhat incoherent.

"This afternoon, Igawa suddenly went crazy and caused trouble in the shopping street with his men, smashing several shops. Aunt Orikasa saw this and went up to scold them."

"Igawa got really upset and threatened to smash up the flower shop. By the time I ran to tell you, they were already heading to the flower shop with their men!"

After she finished speaking, the cheerful atmosphere in the living room instantly vanished.

Orikasa Midori's face turned deathly pale instantly, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly: "Mom, she..."

"Don't panic, Lady Orikasa will be alright," Lin Xiuyi said decisively. "Let's go there now!"

His calm voice instantly gave the flustered Midori Orikasa a sense of security.

“I’m going too!” Eri Kisaki quickly gathered her long hair and neatly tied it with a headband.

Without a word, Yukiko had already put on her shoes. Reiko, though younger, followed closely behind her brother.

“Let’s all go together!” Tomizawa Chikage patted Orikasa Midori’s trembling shoulder. “Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”

When the group rushed to the shopping street, the sun had already sunk behind the buildings.

From afar, they could see a large crowd gathered in front of the flower shop, and they could vaguely hear the sounds of slapping and wailing.

"Give way!"

Lin Xiuyi protected Orisaka Midori as they squeezed through the crowd, but the scene before them stunned everyone!

Six burly men in black suits and sunglasses were lined up, each holding a delinquent teenager in their arms.

The one leading the group was Igawa, whose signature red hair was now in a mess, and his left cheek was swollen.

"Snapped!"

Another resounding slap landed, sending Igawa staggering a few steps before being pulled back by the burly man in black.

"Big...Big brother, spare us!" Jingchuan cried, his face covered in snot and tears. "We were really just following orders..."

"On orders?" The gang leader sneered, removing his sunglasses to reveal a hideous scar. "On whose orders? Speak up!"

“It’s…it’s Mr. Sato from the Muddy Street Association…” Igawa answered tremblingly. “He said we’re young…so even if the police arrest us, we won’t be severely punished…so he told us to come and cause trouble in the shopping street…to drive away all the customers.”

Upon hearing this, the scarred man's face darkened even further.

He turned and winked at his companion, and then another round of loud slaps followed.

At the entrance of the flower shop, Mrs. Orikasa stood with several neighbors, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. Her face showed no sign of panic; instead, she seemed to be watching a play.

"Mom, Mom?" Midori Orikasa stood there, her voice filled with disbelief.

Lady Orikasa then noticed her daughter and waved with delight, "Little Green! You've come at the perfect time, come and see what's going on!"

Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Lin Xiuyi was the first to react, stepping forward to ask, "Auntie, what exactly happened?"

Mrs. Orikasa took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "These little devils were yelling that they were going to smash up the flower shop. I even took out my wooden sword and was about to teach them a lesson when suddenly this group of men in black rushed out and subdued them without saying a word."

She pointed to Igawa, who was being beaten.
"The child said he was acting on orders from the Muddy Association, which resulted in the men in black beating him even more severely."

Yukiko blinked her big eyes and curiously leaned close to Hayashi Hideichi's ear: "Who are these people?"

Before Lin Xiuyi could answer, the scarred-faced man had already noticed them.

He strode over and, under the wary gazes of the crowd, suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Xiuyi: "Lin Sang, since you're here, I'll leave these delinquents to you."

"Huh?!" Everyone looked at Lin Xiuyi in shock.

Lin Xiuyi himself looked bewildered: "Sir, do we know each other?"

Scarface maintained his bowing posture: "We are here on the orders of our team leader to protect the shopping street. Lin Sang has connections with the police, so it's best to hand these people over to you."

"Team leader..." Lin Xiuyi frowned, "Are you from the Sumiyoshi-kai?"

“Yes,” the scarred man smiled slightly, “Team Leader Kiryu met with Lin-san once before. Before we came here, he specifically instructed us to always show Lin-san respect.” (End of Chapter)
