Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 101 Are you worried about me too?
Miwako Sato rushed out of the police car again and ran quickly to Shizuka Tachibana.

Tachibana Shizuka anticipated Sato Miwako's behavior and immediately said, "Don't worry, Officer Sato, I'll be fine.

After Mr. Takei agreed to pay the ransom, the two kidnappers suddenly changed their minds and seemed to be preparing to conduct a second extortion. Out of concern for Mr. Takei's safety, I chose to shoot them dead.

The kidnapper holding the gun probably doesn't usually play with guns. He was so nervous that he didn't even turn off the safety and just held it up like that.
Do you know how hard it was for me to hold back my laughter?"

If a gun can't be fired, what's the difference between it and a fire stick? By the way, a spear can also be used as a fire stick, but this pistol is too big to be thrown as a concealed weapon.

As Tachibana Shizuka spoke, he cooperated with Sato Miwako to give himself a "full body check" and then pulled Sato's shoulders so that she faced Miyano Akemi.

"This is also a member of the kidnapping gang, her name is Hirota Masami. The last time I saw her was at a branch of Beika Shiling Bank. She seemed to have just started working there at that time."

After all, since she often dealt with Beika Bank robberies, Sato Miwako immediately thought of a possibility: "You mean?"

"Well, if she's a bank employee, robbing a bank would be much easier. But I don't know why she would choose something as 'troublesome' as kidnapping. I think you could investigate this further."

Tachibana Shizuka lowered his voice and whispered in Sato Miwako's ear, then raised an eyebrow at Miyano Akemi: "Ms. Hirota, Officer Sato is a very responsible officer. If you have any hidden secrets, I suggest you speak to Officer Sato clearly.

Or if you need any help, please tell Officer Sato."

Upon hearing this, Miyano Akemi nodded in gratitude to Tachibana Shizuka, but the sadness between her brows did not diminish in the slightest.

Because Sato Miwako arrived the fastest, she was the first to check on the two kidnappers on the ground. They were undoubtedly dead, with no chance of them resurrecting.

There were two guns on the ground. To Officer Sato's surprise, the safety of both guns was on.

Because they had to investigate the scene and the other police officers' cars were not as fast as Sato's, Sato Miwako asked Tachibana Shizuka to watch over Miyano Akemi.

Before the main force arrived, Tachibana Shizuka's lips moved slightly, and a voice as thin as a mosquito floated into Miyano Akemi's ears.

"I suggest you contact the Japanese Public Security Bureau through Officer Sato. As I said, Officer Sato is a person with a strong sense of justice. She can be trusted."

After saying this, Tachibana Shizuka rushed towards the two large and one small figures running towards him, leaving only a mysterious back view for Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Akemi's gaze on Tachibana Shizuka's back became increasingly complex. What did this young man know? How much did he know? Who was he?

There are too many unknowns in this world, but it seems that Akemi Miyano has no chance to continue to understand them.

In response, she just pursed her lips and silently concealed the gratitude in her eyes.

Facing the group of Xiaolan, Sonoko and Conan running towards him, Tachibana Shizuka smiled sincerely.

He had only made a few friends since he came to this world, but fortunately, these friends were all people worth making friends with. They gradually became an important link between Tachibana Shizuka and the world.

Time travelers are always lonely, but then again, who in this world can guarantee that they will not be lonely all their life?
After all, people are independent individuals.

Tachibana Shizuka was not surprised by the arrival of Xiaolan and Sonoko, but he was a little surprised by the appearance of Conan.

Didn't he expect that Tachibana Shizuka could hold such a high position in Conan's heart? "Huh, it looks like you're all worried." Tachibana Shizuka came up to the three of them and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere when Conan ran past him like a gust of wind.

Look at the direction Conan is running, isn't it the direction where Miyano Akemi is?

"Emm, damn it! Am I being overly sentimental?!" Tachibana Shizuka had a tense expression, speechless at Conan's lack of emotional intelligence when it came to the winery.

"Brother? I saved half your life, didn't I? Aren't you being a little too realistic? Is this just a matter of whoever gives you milk your mother?"

Tachibana Shizuka's slightly broken expression caused Xiaolan and Sonoko to cover their mouths and laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere was suddenly filled with joy.

"Alright, even though I just spent so much time explaining this to Officer Sato, I still have to tell you, don't worry, I'm fine and safe."

As Tachibana Shizuka said this, he turned around to show Xiaolan and Sonoko his unharmed body.

After confirming that Tachibana Shizuka was indeed uninjured, Sonoko said worriedly, "You don't know, we were so worried when the gunshots just now rang out. We were afraid that something might happen to you here."

"is it?"

"Of course! We thought the kidnappers had broken their promise and suddenly opened fire. Officer Sato even rushed towards the police car the moment the gunshot was heard."

"What about Ran? Are you worried about me too?" Tachibana Seiji nodded slightly, and suddenly changed the subject and asked Xiaolan.

"Oh, I, this..." Xiaolan didn't expect that Tachibana Shizuka would suddenly attack directly at this time. At this time, Tachibana Shizuka suddenly asked her if she was worried. Was he really asking about her mood just now?

On that night at Moon Shadow Island, Xiaolan first understood Tachibana Shizuka's feelings for her. But by then, Tachibana Shizuka had already left some marks in her heart through subtle means.

For her, Tachibana Shizuka, who had experienced "life and death" together with her, was no longer a member of the opposite sex who could not be compared with Kudo Shinichi.

So that night when Xiaolan returned to the office, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep.

Shizuka Tachibana has never directly expressed his love to Xiaolan, so even though Xiaolan noticed Shizuka Tachibana's feelings, she was just silently struggling with it.

Should she just distance herself from Tachibana Shizuka? This option had never crossed Ran's mind. Ran, always considerate of others, would never do something so hurtful.

But accepting it seemed out of the question. Moreover, Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts were a mystery, which made Xiaolan feel a faint sense of guilt.

After all, the only male of the same age who appeared around Xiaolan before was Kudo Shinichi, and all of Xiaolan's related opposite-sex relationships except for her father were with Kudo Shinichi.

He can be a good friend, a childhood sweetheart, or even the person a young girl longs for.
The appearance of Tachibana Shizuka adds some variables to this story that seems to have a foreseeable end.

That sleepless night, Xiaolan had actually made a decision. She is the daughter of the famous detective Maori Kogoro and the undefeated queen Kisaki Eri.

A little girl takes care of her careless old father. How can such an independent girl lack decisiveness?
Since they were all so young, why not continue to get along? Xiaolan believed that one day she would find the answer deep in her heart.

But before the answer came, Tachibana Shizuka's "straight ball attack" made her lose her composure.
