Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

As Murakami Yui quickly packed her luggage next to her seat, she nodded goodbye to Chima Kazuyo and Oogami Ichizen beside her.

"Ms. Senma, Mr. Ogami, we part ways here. I wish you both all the best in Tokyo."

Chima Kazuyo maintained her gentle smile and politely replied, "Thank you for your blessings, and I wish you a safe journey home. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Her gaze lingered on Lin Xiuyi and Fei Yingli for a moment, with a hint of appreciation and goodwill.

However, Ooshima's attitude was completely different. He merely glanced at Murakami Yui symbolically, pursed his lips, and did not respond.

That haughty expression seemed to say, "It would be beneath my dignity to say goodbye to you ordinary people."

Murakami Yui was already seething with anger because of all the troubles along the way, and seeing Oogami Shuzen's arrogance only fueled her anger.

She couldn't help but raise her voice, deliberately saying, "If you two plan to continue your detective work in Tokyo, you'll definitely meet Shuichi again in the future."

Murakami Yui paused, a hint of pride in her voice.
"After all, this kid is a special investigation consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division. Many of Tokyo's tricky cases can only be solved with his help."

Upon hearing this, Da Shang Zhu Shan visibly paused in his steps.

He turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, and looked Lin Xiuyi up and down, seemingly unable to believe that this seemingly ordinary high school student actually had such an identity.

Chima Kazuyo also showed a surprised expression, then smiled and said to Hayashi Hideichi, "I didn't expect Hayashi to be so amazing. It seems that we will indeed have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Please give me your guidance then."

Lin Xiuyi simply smiled slightly and did not respond further.

He knew very well that, given the reputations of Senma Fuyuki and Ogami Shuzen, it was highly likely they would meet in a future case in Tokyo.

As passengers disembarked from the plane, the familiar air of Tokyo rushed towards them.

"Finally home……"

As Eri Kisaki stepped out of the arrival hall of Tokyo International Airport, she looked at the familiar scene before her and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing her relieved expression, Lin Xiuyi suppressed a laugh and deliberately leaned close to her ear to whisper, "After going through so much, you probably won't want to study in America again, right?"

"I'm not going anymore! I'm never going again!"

Eri Kisaki rolled her eyes at him, her tone resolute.

"You live in constant fear, with hijackings and shootings, it's practically playing with your life. Are you satisfied now?"

Before setting off, she was full of longing for prestigious American universities, but this summer camp completely shattered her illusions.

"America is not a place for everyone."

Lin Xiuyi smiled and shrugged, her tone relaxed.
"I once saw a very insightful summary of the United States."

"What?"

Yui Murakami, who was standing nearby, also curiously came over. Her complex feelings about America were no less than those of Eri Kisaki, so she naturally wanted to hear what this "profound statement" was.

Lin Xiuyi slowed her pace, looked into the distance, and slowly said, "If you love someone, send them to America, because it's heaven; if you hate someone, send them to America as well, because it's hell."

These words instantly plunged both Eri Kisaki and Yui Murakami into deep thought.

They recalled their experience in the United States, describing both the warmth and kindness under the California sun, such as the hospitality of the Brians, and the fear and despair under gunfire, such as the terrifying moment of the school shooting.

The United States is like a complex of contradictions, where prosperity and chaos coexist, and opportunities and dangers are intertwined. This statement accurately summarizes its duality. "This statement is really philosophical," Eri Kisaki said, coming back to her senses. "Which celebrity said this? I've never heard of it before."

Lin Xiuyi blinked. He quoted a modified classic line from "A Native of Beijing in New York," but forgot that this work didn't even exist in the world.

He had no choice but to shamelessly point to himself and say in a serious tone, "Who else could it be? Of course it's me. I just had a sudden inspiration."

"Tch, who do you think you are as a celebrity!" Eri Kisaki scoffed without any politeness. "Stop bragging here."

Just as Murakami Yui was about to chime in, the group arrived at the airport exit.

Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd of people waiting to greet the passengers: "That boy in the blue shirt is Lin Xiuyi! I saw him on the news before, he's the hero who subdued the hijacker and killed the school gunman in the United States!"

At the shout, the reporters who were originally scattered around the exit instantly swarmed over like sharks smelling blood, carrying cameras, microphones and microphones.

Flashing lights went off one after another, and the blinding light made Lin Xiu squint involuntarily.

Countless microphones were thrust in front of him, and a barrage of questions rained down on him.

"Lin, did you really stop terrorists from hijacking a plane and personally kill the perpetrator who opened fire on campus during your trip to the United States?"

"Lin, could you share with us how you felt at that time? Were you afraid when facing an armed assailant?"

"Lin, anti-Japanese activities in the United States are escalating. As someone who has personally experienced this, what are your thoughts on this? Will this affect your impression of the United States?"

"Lin, I heard that UCLA has extended an invitation for you to study abroad. Will you accept?"

Lin Xiuyi stood calmly in place, without the slightest panic.

He raised an eyebrow at Eri Kisaki and Yui Murakami, who were being pushed aside by the reporters, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

The meaning is self-evident: Look, with my current level of fame, wouldn't you call me a celebrity?
Eri rolled her eyes at him, secretly thinking to herself, "People really do change."

Lin Xiuyi used to dislike being in the public eye. Whenever he was surrounded by reporters because of solving a case, he wished he could disappear into the ground and always tried to find a way to avoid them.

But now, facing so many cameras and microphones, he appears completely calm and at ease, almost like a different person.

Little did she know Lin Xiuyi's true intentions.

In the past, he would have avoided such interviews at all costs, wanting only to quietly be an ordinary high school student.

But things are different now. He has become a thorn in the side of the Black Organization because of his exposure of Lily's diary, and even the organization's boss, Karasuma Renya, has personally issued a kill order against him.

At times like these, the media spotlight becomes his "protective shield."

Just like the advice he gave to the Brians, as long as his fame and influence are great enough, even if the Black Organization wants to take action against him, they will have to think twice about the consequences.

If a "national hero" who receives a lot of public attention suddenly encounters an accident, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar.

The police will investigate thoroughly, and the media will dig deep into the hidden story behind it, which will undoubtedly be a huge problem for the black-clad organization that has always acted in secrecy.

Therefore, he not only cannot avoid interviews, but should actively seize the opportunity to further increase his exposure.

"I'm getting on the bus first." Eri Kisaki couldn't be bothered to look at her childhood friend's smug expression, so she turned around, squeezed through the crowd, and boarded the school bus that Teitan High School had come to pick them up... (End of this chapter)
