Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Lin Xiuyi's weight was a real burden for the two girls; after only a few steps, they were both panting heavily.

"This thing is incredibly heavy!"

While pulling, Tomizawa Chikage glared angrily at the unconscious Lin Xiuyi.

"Stop complaining, hurry up!" Yukiko gritted her teeth, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "Let's hide Shuichi first. If the thieves find him, they'll definitely retaliate!"

After a great deal of effort, the two girls finally managed to drag Lin Xiuyi behind the shelf.

The space between the shelves is so small that it can barely accommodate two people.

The three people were crammed together, making it difficult to even turn around.

Seeing this, Tomizawa Chikage was about to turn around and hide somewhere else when she suddenly heard the sound of the stairwell door being pushed open forcefully.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shrank back inside. If she went out now, she would definitely be discovered!
Left with no other choice, Chikage Tomizawa could only push Hideaki Hayashi further into the shelf, while she and Yukiko flanked him, pressing him tightly against the shelf, barely daring to breathe, and straining to hear any sounds outside.

"Strange, I just heard voices, where did they go?" a boy's voice asked, sounding puzzled.

“There’s someone lying on the ground,” a girl’s voice said. “It’s not the senior.”

"Onii-chan?" a little girl called out.

"Shuichi?" another girl called out, "Are you on this floor?"

……

The two girls hiding behind the shelves also heard the sounds outside.

"It's Glasses Girl and the others!" Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"These guys actually came along too."

Tomizawa Chikage was about to leave, but the space behind the shelves was too small. She had been pressed very close to Lin Xiuyi to hide in there, and now when she moved, she realized that the hem of her clothes was pressed down by Lin Xiuyi's arm and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried.

Why are you pushing me?

Yukiko glared at Chikage Tomizawa with displeasure and complained softly.
"The space is already small, and if you squeeze in any more, I'm going to be crushed to death by Shuichi!"

"Who pushed you!" Tomizawa Chikage retorted in a low voice. "I'm stuck, I can't move! Move over a bit, give me some room!"

Yukiko had no choice but to try to hide as much as possible inside.

But she was so busy dodging Tomizawa Chikage that she forgot that her hand was still on Hayashi Hideichi's shoulder.

As soon as she moved her hand away, Lin Xiuyi, who had no support, immediately felt her legs go weak and her body fell down.

Fortunately, Chikage Tomizawa reacted quickly and instinctively reached out to support Hideaki Hayashi's arm.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiuyi's head also fell and got stuck between Yukiko's breasts.

That bastard! Even when he's unconscious, he still tries to take advantage of girls!
Seeing this scene, Tomizawa Chikage's anger flared up again.

Without thinking, she immediately reached out and tried to pull Lin Xiuyi away from Yukiko's chest.

Unexpectedly, she used too much force, and not only did her clothes get pulled out from under Lin Xiuyi's arm, but before she could regain her balance, she and Lin Xiuyi fell through the gap behind the shelf.

With a cry of "Ouch!", Tomizawa Chikage fell heavily to the ground, wincing in pain.

Lin Xiuyi, because of her pulling, fell directly onto her, and his head accidentally bumped into Tomizawa Chikage's forehead with a "bang".

"It hurts so much..."

Chikage Tomizawa was so badly injured by the impact that her vision blurred. For a moment, she forgot to push away Hideaki Hayashi, and focused only on rubbing her aching forehead, tears welling in her eyes. Just then, a burst of excited barking suddenly rang out beside them.
Immediately following were several rapidly approaching footsteps.

Before Chikage Tomizawa could figure out what was going on, she felt several beams of flashlight suddenly shine on her and Hideaki Hayashi, so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Onii-chan? Chikage-neechan? You, you guys..."

Reiko stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the two people piled up in front of her.

"S-Senior..."

Midori Orikasa unconsciously tightened her grip on the wooden sword in her hand, her eyes shifting between Chikage Tomizawa and Shuichi Hayashi with a complex expression.

"Shuichi is really lucky with women..."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin, and before he could finish speaking, he felt the icy gaze from Eri Kisaki beside him. The murderous intent in her eyes almost froze him.

He quickly shut his mouth, wisely took a step back, and pretended not to have seen anything.

"Lin Xiuyi!"

Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth, uttering her childhood friend's name slowly and deliberately, her voice trembling with barely suppressed rage.

"Get up now! How long are you going to keep her pinned down like this?!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi remained motionless, Fei Yingli became even angrier and was about to step forward to pull him away.

It was only then that Tomizawa Chikage realized what was happening, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. She hurriedly tried to push Lin Xiuyi off her, but he was still unconscious and didn't react at all.

The girl could only anxiously explain, "It's not what you think! This guy was stunned by the thief's stun gun, and we accidentally fell and got hurt like this!"

"What? Shuichi was electrocuted?"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki immediately forgot her anger and rushed over, her face full of worry.
"How is he? Is he alright?"

Reiko and Midori Orikasa also gathered around, their eyes filled with anxiety.

Wangcai, lying on the ground, didn't care about any of that. When it saw its owner, it wagged its tail excitedly, went straight to Lin Xiuyi's side, and stuck out its tongue, licking its owner's face incessantly. Its wet tongue smeared Lin Xiuyi's face with saliva.

After being "tortured" by Wangcai, Lin Xiuyi's eyelids finally twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

His consciousness was still a little hazy, and his head was dizzy. He only felt that his face was sticky and a little itchy.

"What, what's going on..."

He asked in a hoarse voice, but froze when he saw the people around him.

Eri Kisaki, Reiko, Midori Orikasa, Kogoro Mouri, and Yukiko, who was peeking out from behind the shelves, were all staring at him.

"How did I end up on the ground...?"

Lin Xiuyi muttered to himself, just about to prop himself up on his arms to stand up.

But he had just woken up and his arms were still weak. He was only halfway up when his upper body suddenly went limp and fell heavily down with a "thud," landing right on top of Tomizawa Chikage.

What's even more embarrassing is that the angle at which he fell was just too "coincidental," and his lips just happened to be completely pressed against Tomizawa Chikage's lips.

"Boom!"

Although the sound was faint, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet shopping mall.

This unexpected kiss plunged the fourth floor of the mall into a deathly silence. Everyone's expressions froze, as if time had stopped flowing at that moment… (End of Chapter)
