Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 57 How Do You Want to Be Punished?
"You stay here if you want to guard it. I'm not doing it anyway. I'm going downstairs first," the short and fat security guard snorted. "You're trying to scare me with ghosts? If there really are ghosts in this world, they would only be poor ghosts like me!"

After saying that, he entered the security door and walked downstairs.

As soon as I reached the tenth floor, a cold wind suddenly blew, accompanied by a low whimpering sound.

The short and fat security guard froze, and couldn't help but think of Lin Xiuyi's last words.

"That person's wronged spirit will definitely come after you to claim your life!"

Thinking of this, the low whimpering sound in my ears seemed to turn into the wailing of an evil ghost demanding its life.

The short and fat security guard shuddered and quickly turned around and ran back to the rooftop.

"Why are you back again?" The security guard with glasses looked at his companion in surprise.

"Well, I suddenly feel that leaving you here alone is a bit inappropriate," the short and fat security guard said while looking around in confusion. "Did you hear that humming sound just now?"

"What's that humming sound?" The security guard with glasses didn't understand.

At this moment, a strong wind blew by, and the short and fat security guard thought that an evil spirit was chasing him. His legs softened and he knelt down and bowed: "Brother, although you died unjustly, it's really not my fault! I'm just a poor security guard. If you want revenge, go find the person who hurt you..."

The bespectacled security guard next to him saw his companion suddenly kneeling on the ground, trembling and talking to himself, so he stepped forward and kicked his butt in confusion.

"What are you doing? It's just a gust of wind, why did it scare you like this?"

"Kneel down!" The short and fat security guard pulled his companion to his knees, then said tremblingly, "Just now when I was going downstairs, I clearly heard a humming sound in the corridor. It must be the person who just jumped from the building who has returned as a ghost!"

……

On the tenth floor, Lingzi, who was guarding the window, was worried about disturbing others, so she covered Wangcai's mouth with her hand to prevent him from making any sound.

"Woo woo..." The stupid dog didn't dare to struggle and could only make low whimpers.

"Lingzi, did you see an old man coming down the stairs just now?" Lin Xiuyi ran over and asked.

"I saw it," the girl nodded. "The old man even praised Wangcai as a good dog."

"Wangcai, do you remember the smell of that person just now?" Lin Xiuyi hurriedly grabbed the dog's head and asked.

"Woof!" The stupid dog barked, lowered his head and sniffed the smell on the floor carefully, then ran quickly towards the elevator.

"Come on, Lingzi, come with me to find someone!" Lin Xiuyi pulled his sister.

Lingzi asked in surprise, "Onii-chan, are those few bloodstains okay?"

"The murderer has already left," Lin Xiuyi waved his hand. "Most people wouldn't even notice those few spots of blood. Even if they did, they wouldn't be so idle as to touch them."

Wangcai ran to the elevator and stopped. Lin Xiuyi quickly pressed the down button and looked around.

There are two elevators in this office building, both of which are running downwards at the moment. One has reached the second floor, and the other has just reached the sixth floor.

"That's too late!"

Lin Xiuyi no longer waited for the elevator, pushed open the door of the stairwell next to him and ran downstairs.

"Onii-chan?"

Lingzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Wangcai to chase after him.

Although he hurried and ran all the way, when Lin Xiuyi reached the first floor breathlessly, he was still a step too late. The two elevators had already come down.

Mr. Fujimori was nowhere to be seen in the lobby on the first floor.

Damn it, he got away!
Lin Xiuyi punched the wall in anger.

"Onii-chan!"

Lingzi's voice came from behind, and the next moment, Wangcai and the girl ran out of the stairwell one after another.

"Wangcai, try to see if you can still smell the scent of that person!" Lin Xiuyi pulled the stupid dog over and pointed at the ground. Wangcai lowered his head and sniffed the hall floor back and forth for a long time. Finally, he just raised his head and looked at his two masters stupidly.

"I can't smell it anymore..." Lin Xiuyi clenched his fists.

Lingzi, who was running beside him and panting heavily, thought her brother was angry with the stupid dog, so she quickly spoke up to defend Wangcai.

"Onii-chan, there are so many people walking through the hall. Wangcai is just an ordinary dog, so it's normal that he can't find the scent of that old man."

"I'm not angry with it. This time it's my fault," Lin Xiuyi blamed himself. "If I had paid attention to Mr. Fujimori on the rooftop just now, I wouldn't have let him leave."

"It's okay, Onii-chan," Reiko came over and held Lin Xiuyi's right hand tightly. "Aren't there police? They will definitely catch that guy."

"hope so……"

Lin Xiuyi sighed and walked out of the office building with his sister and Wangcai.

The young man's body was still lying at the door of the office building, surrounded by a large group of onlookers standing in three layers inside and outside.

Lin Xiuyi asked his sister to hold Wangcai and wait outside, while he squeezed in.

When he arrived at the corpse, Lin Xiuyi examined it carefully and soon found a thin strangulation mark on the bloody neck of the corpse. The width of the mark was about the same as the mark on the water tank on the roof.

it is as expected……

Lin Xiuyi sighed. It was a pity that the criminal had escaped. Now he could only hope for the police to catch him.

Just as he thought of this, a scream that Lin Xiuyi was familiar with suddenly came from the crowd.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw his little cousin covering her mouth with her hands, looking at the corpse on the ground with a pale face.

Women are so curious...

Lin Xiuyi hurried forward, picked up Lingzi, and squeezed out of the crowd.

"Are you scared?"

"Yeah," the girl nodded timidly. "It's really scary. It's much scarier than those crime scene photos my parents brought home. It's also disgusting..."

"Didn't I tell you all this before?" Lin Xiuyi scolded, "You're definitely going to have nightmares again tonight."

"I'm sorry," Reiko lowered her head in frustration, "I did something wrong, Onii-chan, please punish me."

"How do you want to be punished?"

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "...Or, punish me by not allowing me to come visit Onii-chan next weekend."

"What kind of punishment is this!" Lin Xiuyi snorted coldly, turned his sister over in his arms, and slapped her butt twice, "Now you should remember..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt distressed when he saw his little cousin's red cheeks and the way she bit her lips in grievance.
"Okay, I only hit you twice, why are you about to cry? I'm wrong, okay?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi apologize, Lingzi knew that he had misunderstood. She didn't look like she wanted to cry at all, but was clearly trying hard not to scream out in excitement.

Afraid that Lin Xiuyi would notice something was wrong, the girl quickly buried her hot face in her brother's arms.
"Onii-chan, it's not your fault. I didn't listen to you. Just hit me a few more times!"

"Still hitting me? If you really start crying, I'll be the one who feels bad!" Lin Xiuyi knocked on his sister's head in annoyance.

"Onii-chan, if you do something wrong, you should be punished." Unlike her usual serious demeanor, Reiko actually started to act like a spoiled brat. "I won't cry. Just punish me a few more times, okay?"

"Stop making trouble," Lin Xiuyi put his sister down, "Let's go find a place to rest for a while, and then explain the situation to the police when they come."

"...Oh," the girl responded disappointedly.

When they were walking here before, the brother and sister passed by a coin-operated telephone booth with a public bench for rest next to it. Lin Xiuyi took his sister and Wangcai over there.

As soon as we got near, Wangcai suddenly shouted excitedly towards the phone booth: "Woof woof..."

　The Discipline Committee member really killed him.
