Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 93 I Won’t Give You This Chance Again

"I remember you came to see your aunt to inquire about the verdict of a case," Lin Xiuyi guessed, "was that case related to your subsequent crimes?"

"Auntie...you are the little boy from back then," Kubo Shoji said in frustration, "I actually forgot about you and was only thinking about looking for that bitch Kujo..."

"Pa!" Lin Xiuyi slapped Kubo Shoji hard on the face. "There was a bug on your face just now, and I helped you swat it away. No need to thank me."

"You little bastard!" Kubo Shoji cursed with hatred on his face. "So what if the police arrest me this time? If I can escape once, I can escape a second time!"

"Haha, you saved my sister this time, but next time, I won't give you this chance again!"

"When I break out of prison next time, I will kill both of you and make Kujo Kotona regret it for the rest of her life!"

Looking at Kubo Shoji, whose expression was filled with hatred, and listening to him swearing that he would kill Reiko next time, Lin Xiuyi suddenly saw the face of a young woman with eyes wide open in death, and the unforgettable accusations of the girl's parents rang in his ears.

"It's all because of you! If you hadn't persuaded my daughter to testify, how could she have died tragically?"

"That beast had already said he would take revenge, and you police officers also promised to protect my daughter's safety. But now, this is the result of your protection?"

This was Lin Xiuyi's biggest regret in his previous life, and it was also the regret and pain of their entire police force.

After a moment's silence, Lin Xiuyi suddenly said, "... Lingzi, go call the police."

The little cousin glared at Kubo Shoji fiercely, then walked into her parents' bedroom.

"Close the door," Lin Xiuyi reminded, "lest this guy yell and the police can't hear clearly."

"Oh," Lingzi closed the door obediently.

After seeing that the bedroom door was indeed closed, Lin Xiuyi turned around and went to the bathroom to get a towel, stuffed it into Kubo Shoji's mouth, then he bent down and began to untie the rope tied to Kubo Shoji's feet.
Kubo Shoji looked at Lin Xiuyi's actions in confusion, but the towel blocking his mouth prevented him from asking the questions in his mind.

"You know, before this, I also called the Japanese police useless," Lin Xiuyi laughed, "but now, I suddenly feel that their incompetence is really great."

Lin Xiuyi was clearly smiling, but that smile made Kubo Shoji tremble. He vaguely understood the other party's plan and struggled to shout.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"You shouldn't have been so talkative just now."

Lin Xiuyi laughed and ignored Kubo Shoji's struggle. He pulled his collar and dragged him to the stairs, then carried him up.
"I will never make the same mistakes I made in my previous life again in this life."

Amidst Kubo Shoji's puzzled words, Lin Xiuyi pulled out the towel that was blocking his mouth, then threw him headfirst down the stairs.

Kubo Shoji only had time to let out a scream before his head hit the steps heavily. He then rolled down the stairs all the way to the first floor before stopping.

Looking at the other person's twisted and deformed neck, Lin Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and now he didn't even have to go downstairs to check.

"Don't even think about running away!" Lin Xiuyi tucked the towel into his clothes and suddenly shouted. Then he sat down at the stairs with a look of panic on his face. "You..."

Lingzi in the bedroom heard the shouting outside and did not bother to explain the situation to the police. She hurriedly opened the door to check the situation.
"Onii-chan?"

"I, I didn't tie the rope around his feet properly, and he broke free," Lin Xiuyi looked at his sister blankly, "He wanted to escape, and I subconsciously pulled him, and then he..." Reiko quickly ran to her brother, and when she saw Kubo Shoji downstairs was silent, she covered her mouth in fear.

"It's all my fault," Lin Xiuyi kept muttering to himself, "If I hadn't tied the rope properly, he, he wouldn't have..."

Looking at her bewildered brother, Reiko quickly hugged him distressedly: "Onii-chan, this isn't your fault. He fell because he insisted on running away."

"Oh right, an ambulance! Call an ambulance now, maybe we can still save him!"

Lin Xiuyi said, and quickly got up from the ground and ran into Lingzi's parents' bedroom.
My cousin ran out in such a hurry that she didn't even hang up the phone. The female police officer was anxiously asking,

"Little sister, what happened? Is it that criminal..."

"No, it's not good."

Lin Xiuyi picked up the phone and said breathlessly,

"The fugitive broke free from the ropes on his feet and tried to escape. I chased him and pulled him as he was going down the stairs. Then he lost his balance and fell down. Call an ambulance quickly!"

"Are you the brother of that little girl? Don't be afraid, the police will be there soon."

The female police officer kept comforting the frightened teenager on the other end of the phone.
"The one you caught was a prisoner who escaped from prison. Even if something happened to him, it wasn't your fault."

……

Half an hour later, Inspector Samezaki and Inspector Megure arrived at the scene.
"Lin Jun, why are you here?" Inspector Megure looked at the scene in surprise, "This..."

Inspector Samezaki quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the deceased's face. "It is indeed the fugitive Kubo Shoji."

"This weekend, I'm planning to take everyone from the izakaya to the amusement park, and I'll also be bringing my cousin along. After school this afternoon, I went to Teitan Elementary School..."

Lin Xiuyi sat on the stairs and told the truth about his experience before catching Kubo Shoji.
"After asking my sister to call the police, he suddenly broke free from the ropes on his feet and ran towards the stairs."

"I hurried after him, and when I reached the stairs, I..."

Lin Xiuyi paused and said with some difficulty,
"I reached out and pulled him, and then he lost his balance and fell."

"Everything Onii-chan said is true," Reiko said loudly, hugging her brother's arm. "He didn't mean it."

Lin Xiuyi lowered his head with a complicated expression after hearing his sister's testimony.

But in the eyes of the two police officers, they felt that he was feeling guilty and was afraid to face the deceased.

"Lin Jun, this is just an accident, don't take it too seriously," Officer Megure said soothingly, "In the final analysis, the cause of all this is Kubo Shoji."

"You did nothing wrong," Inspector Samezaki patted Hayashi Shuichi on the shoulder. "When we police officers are catching criminals, we sometimes encounter unexpected situations that lead to the death of criminals. Although this is regrettable, we can't be timid and let criminals go unpunished."
