Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 209: Hands Gripping in the Dark

Sato is very confident, and she certainly has the capital to be confident.

The situation of the enemy being in the dark and us being in the light has completely reversed. The Metropolitan Police Department detectives have gone from being in the light to being in the dark. However, the lurking Fudo Kyosuke has gone from being in the dark to being in the light.

In addition, with the cooperation of many colleagues in the Investigation Section, even though Kyosuke Fudo may have a gun in his hand, Miwako Sato is not at all afraid.

It's just a pistol, who doesn't have one?
After saying hello to the curious Sara Shiratori in the dressing room, everyone returned to the engagement party one after another.

Tachibana Shizuka simply took Xiaolan and the others to get some food, and then found an inconspicuous but good-viewing corner in the banquet hall to observe.

Just as Matsumoto Kiyonaga had arranged, the detectives did not gather in a large group in the banquet hall. Instead, they were scattered throughout the hall in groups of two or three.

There is a patrol chief every three steps and a deputy police lieutenant every five steps. This is not just talk.

Tachibana Shizuka paid special attention to Fudo Kyosuke and found that no matter where he went, there would always be one or several pairs of eyes staring at him from a distance.

Kyosuke Fudo is probably the type who is more sensitive to gazes. Tachibana Seiji clearly noticed that he was a little anxious at the moment, but he couldn't find the source of his anxiety.

Some detectives even walked up to him with wine glasses and greeted him after being noticed by Kyosuke Fudo.

Most of the people who came to the engagement ceremony were junior police officers from the Investigation Division, who happened to be the recipients of the Metropolitan Police Department's welfare benefits.

Shiratori once said that detectives are under a lot of pressure. Since psychologists can relieve their stress, detectives will naturally not shelve this benefit.

Why should you take on the pressure and save money for the Metropolitan Police Department?
This led to Kyosuke Fudo, who had a good reputation within the Metropolitan Police Department, knowing almost half of the detectives in the banquet hall.

After greeting several detectives who knew him, Fenghu Kyosuke finally realized where those eyes that were "spying" on him came from, and for a moment he was a little amused.

There's no way, who made him know most of the detectives in the banquet hall?

He was originally sensitive to sight, and now he felt guilty and there were so many detectives in the banquet hall, which made him extremely uneasy.

Fenghu Kyosuke, who had suddenly come to his senses, calmed down. He walked around the banquet hall with a glass of wine in his hand, greeting the police officers he knew and approaching those he didn't know.

His initiative actually made many unscrupulous criminal police officers gradually restrain themselves.

Just then, Sara Shiratori and his fiancé appeared.

The appearance of the newlyweds officially announced the start of the banquet, but the arrival of many criminal police officers diluted the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet a little.

However, wherever the newlyweds went, they were greeted with blessings. Even Eri Kisaki sincerely wished Sara Shiratori and her groom-to-be a long and happy marriage.

The engagement ceremony lasted only about ten minutes, and consisted of the newlyweds announcing their impending marriage. The rest of the time was spent enjoying the feast.

As the banquet time approaches, the capture operation of Kyosuke Fudo is about to begin.

Sato, who was in the center of the banquet hall, congratulated Sara Shiratori and left the banquet hall, apparently in a hurry.

Shortly after Sato left, Kyosuke Fudo also got rid of the detective beside him and moved to the door of the banquet hall in an inconspicuous manner.

He thought his actions were very covert, but he didn't expect that Tachibana Seiji was giving him a live broadcast in the corner.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Tachibana Shizuka used his phone's built-in camera to continuously record Fudo Kyousuke's actions. The detectives in the group were even more interested, holding their phones in various positions to watch.

When Kyosuke Fudo walked out of the banquet hall, most of the detectives looked up at the door of the banquet hall.

This neat movement made some confused guests think there might be some other program coming up. There was indeed a program, but it wasn't aimed at the Shiratori Sara couple.

"I'll go over and take a look." Tachibana Shizuka whispered to Xiaolan and Sonoko, and just as he was about to leave quietly, Xiaolan stopped him.

"Can I come and see it?"

"Of course, but follow me closely when the time comes." Tachibana Shizuka nodded without hesitation.

In the original novel, Xiaolan might be scared by Kyosuke Fudo and lose her memory, but this is obviously impossible to happen now.

In essence, the arrest of Kyosuke Fudo was a crushing defeat. What's so scary about a crushing defeat?
When Sonoko heard that Xiaolan was going to go with them, she immediately prepared to go too.

"Sonoko, can you wait here with me?" Kisaki Eri stopped Sonoko with a smile, the lenses of her gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a faint light.

"Ah? Why?" There is no doubt that Eri Kisaki is a strict mother, which led to Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan being taught a lot by her when they were young.

As a childhood friend of the two of them, could Sonoko escape Kisaki Eri's teachings? So when facing Kisaki Eri, Sonoko was undoubtedly scared.

In short, Sonoko was dissatisfied with Kisaki Eri's decision, and her protests at this moment were weak.

That’s right, the weak Suzuki Sonoko.

"Shizuoka has a gun in his hand, he can protect himself when he encounters danger, what about you?" Kisaki Eri's tone didn't even change, but the pressure was surprisingly great.

"I don't have a gun!"

"Yes, although Lan doesn't have a gun, she can tear down this wall with her bare hands." Kisaki Eri said as she turned gracefully and looked at the solid wall behind them.

"."

For a moment, Sonoko felt that what Kisaki Eri said made a lot of sense - this combination of a man and a woman is so scary that it would make even ghosts worried!

Isn't this just the rice flower version of the male and female evil spirits?!

In short, Sonoko was held tightly by Eri Kisaki. She watched Tachibana Seiji and Ran leave with a smile on her lips.

When Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan left the banquet hall and were about to walk west to the women's restroom, the entire 15th floor suddenly became dark.

All the lights went out in an instant, and the air conditioners and other equipment were turned off.

"The power is out." Xiaolan's voice sounded a little nervous. Xiaolan, who has always been afraid of ghosts, is naturally afraid of dark environments.

In such an environment, Xiaolan couldn't help but make more associations.

"Be careful, follow me closely." Tachibana Shizuka grabbed Xiaolan's hand accurately in the darkness, and then pulled her forward slowly. At the same time, the insight was turned on, and the impact of the surrounding darkness on Tachibana Shizuka was minimized.

In the darkness, with Shizuka Tachibana holding her hand, Xiaolan inexplicably felt a strong sense of security. After hesitating for a moment, she held Shizuka Tachibana's hand again.

Feeling his hand being grabbed by another small hand, Tachibana Shizuka smiled in the darkness, and then he "saw" a figure running past him in a hurry.

Curly hair, suit, an umbrella in one hand and a silenced pistol in the other.

He was wearing medical gloves on both hands. Wasn't this man the one who hurried over to "give his life"?
