Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 114 Shiratori: I’m in such bad luck!

If we are not sisters, what’s wrong with you? You know I am a badger in the melon field, but you don’t let me eat the melon?

Hearing what Sonoko said, Tachibana Shizuka looked innocent: "What do you mean by secretly being together? No!
Right, Xiaolan?"

"Yes, yes! No!" Xiaolan nodded repeatedly and looked very innocent.

What an innocent pair of adulterers!

When Yuanzi heard the two people's tacit answer, she immediately curled her lips and said, "You two are so tacitly in agreement, and you still have the nerve to tell me 'no'?
I mean, are you two isolating me and Naoko?"

"What you said." Tachibana Shizuka felt the need to correct Sonoko's understanding: "Isolation has always been the majority isolating the minority.

Have you ever seen two people isolating each other?"

"Okay, let's not talk about whether it's isolated or not. Let me ask you, have you two been going to school together these days?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"So we're going home together again?"

"Yes, that's right."

"And you still say you two are fine! We've known each other for such a long time, when have you two ever gone to and from school together?"

Sonoko went crazy. Damn, these two guys are so stubborn! Is it because Beika Town exploded that these two guys are still stubborn?
The more Yuanzi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Xiaolan used to be such a good girl. Her face would turn red when she was teased a little, and she looked so cute!
As a result, how come he has turned into a big lump of meat like Tachibana Shizuka?

Aren't you a little too quick to follow your husband's lead?
Just when Sonoko was going crazy, Takei Naoko's weak but clear voice came from a strange corner:

"Are Xiaolan and Shizue living together?"

Takei Naoko's question turned into a bolt of lightning that struck Sonoko's brain - Naoko, there is nothing wrong with what she said!

Although Tachibana Shizuka and Ran's homes go in the same direction to school, they have never gone to school together.

Even after school, Tachibana Shizuka and Ran usually walked their separate ways. But what about these days? They went to school together every day, but walking together after school every day was a little strange.

Sonoko also knew about Tachibana Shizuka's habits. He often practiced karate with Xiaolan one day and practiced shooting at the shooting club the next day.

It cannot be said that you practice diligently, but it means you practice regardless of rain or shine.

These days, Tachibana Shizuka accompanies Xiaolan to the karate club every day. How many days has it been since he went to the shooting club?
Suspicious, these two people are extremely suspicious!

But if you say that Tachibana Shizuka and Ran are living together, Sonoko doesn't quite believe it. It's not that she doesn't trust Tachibana Shizuka and Ran, but she has an extraordinary confidence in Mouri Kogoro, who is obsessed with his daughter.

How could Uncle Maori, who treats his daughter as his lifeblood, allow his daughter to live with a boy?
Do you believe that if Kudo Shinichi dared to tell this in front of Mori Kogoro, that uncle would strip Kudo naked and hang him on the street lamp at the door of his house?
"Well, Shizue has indeed been living in the office these days, but..." Xiaolan hadn't finished her words, but Sonoko behind her was obviously no longer able to hear.

These light-hearted words rang out like thunder in Sonoko's ears. What?! Lan actually got away with being a cheap shot to that brat Jingsi!

They actually lived together!

They both actually still live in the office!

So how could Sonoko not know what was going on at the Mouri Detective Agency? The agency's living quarters only had two bedrooms: one for Kogoro Mouri and Conan, and the other for Ran. So who did the extra Tachibana Shizuka stay with for so many days?

Xiaolan talked about the inside story of her "living together" with Tachibana Shizuka for a long time, but found that only Takei Naoko was listening silently, nodding as she listened to give value to her emotions.

As for Yuanzi, he was still feeling dizzy and daydreaming.

In desperation, Xiaolan and Takei Naoko could only pull the dazed Sonoko on the left and right and walk towards the school.

On the floor where their classes were located, Tachibana Shizuka and the three girls parted ways. Before leaving, Tachibana Shizuka pointed to the mosquito-repellent eyes of Sonoko to Xiaolan:
"You can explain it to her after she wakes up. By the way, it won't be long before Sonoko is punished by the teacher and has to go out to attend class."

"Yeah, I hope Sonoko can come back to her senses soon." Xiaolan felt helpless about her best friend who only listened halfway. She had the time to think divergently and be in a daze, but you actually listened to everything she said.

It's just off the mark.
.
Thus, Tachibana Shizuka quietly attended two classes in Class A. He was not as high-profile as Kudo Shinichi. Although he had become acquainted with the detectives of the First Investigation Division at the Metropolitan Police Department, his deeds were not reported in the newspapers, so his classmates at school did not know much about Tachibana Shizuka's colorful extracurricular life.

Just before the third class, Tachibana Shizuka's cell phone vibrated. He took it out and took a look, only to find that it was a call from Officer Shiratori from the Investigation Division.

Tachibana Shizuka was a little surprised. They had added each other's numbers the last time they met. This serial attack case was handled by Officer Shiratori in the 3rd Division.

Tachibana Shizuka asked for leave from the teacher who walked in, saying he was going to the infirmary, and then left the classroom.

It was normal for male students at Teitan High School to be weak and sickly. Teachers, in particular, always knew about their students' current situations.

After hearing that Tachibana Shizuka was feeling unwell, she immediately agreed to his request for leave.

Finding a secluded spot in the teaching building, Tachibana Shizuka answered the phone: "This is Tachibana Shizuka, what's up, Officer Shiratori?"

Officer Shiratori quickly replied, "Tachibana-san, your deduction that day was correct. The fourth attack just happened!"

"Who is the victim?"

"The victim's name is Hiroki Tsuji. He met Mr. Mori at a charity golf tournament hosted by a television station, but their relationship was limited to acquaintance."

Officer Shiratori spoke quickly, "Just now, the helicopter piloted by athlete Hiroki Tsuji made an emergency landing on the playground of Teitan Elementary School, causing a fire. According to the investigation, the criminals replaced the eye drops that athlete Hiroki Tsuji usually used. It's obvious that they were going to kill someone!"

“No, Officer Shiratori, this isn’t just an ordinary murder, nor is it a serial killer case.

This level should be considered a terrorist attack, right?
Think about it, if this helicopter crashed in a downtown area, what would be the consequences?

Officer Shiratori thought about what Tachibana Shizuka said for a moment, and then he shuddered.

If this helicopter really crashed in the city, it would be a huge event! Let alone crashing in the city, even though the helicopter made an emergency landing at Teitan Elementary School without causing any casualties, he didn't know how to explain it to the citizens.

Especially those parents whose children go to Teitan Elementary School. They don’t care how your plane fell.

They only know that because you police officers failed to catch the murderer in time, the murderer committed crimes again, which led to the plane being forced to land on the playground.

As for the fact that this forced landing did not cause any casualties, we are lucky this time. But what if the plane crashes into a teaching building next time?
Are we going to let their children pay for your Metropolitan Police Department’s incompetence with their own lives?
Officer Shiratori shuddered at the thought of this series of consequences. He had just been promoted not long ago. Was he going to be the scapegoat for this incident?
