Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 210 Shine a strong light on him

The protagonist is already in place. In order not to miss this big show, Tachibana Shizuka pulled Xiaolan and accelerated slightly, and finally stopped at a position not too far away.

"Jingsi, there's someone in front!" Xiaolan, who had been walking quickly all the way, had already adapted to the darkness in front of her, and could vaguely see a figure standing in front of the women's bathroom.

"Yes, there is someone. Not only at the bathroom door, but also inside." Tachibana Shizuka responded to Xiaolan in a low voice.

From their position, they could vaguely see the dim light in the women's bathroom. The flashlight was always on and was waiting for the destined person that Kyosuke Fudo had designed for it.

The way Kyosuke Fudo held the umbrella and the gun was a little strange and funny. But it didn't matter, as long as he could kill Miwako Sato, he didn't care whether his actions were funny or not.

But... How can Sato squat so long? How long has she been in the bathroom? She's still squatting even when the lights are out?!
Do fairies also have to poop in the dark?

"click"

This was the sound of the bathroom stall unlocking. When he heard it, Kyosuke Fudo was shocked! It's coming out!

Then there was the sound of high heels stepping on tiles, and in the darkness, Kyosuke Fudo could see a figure walking out of the bathroom and towards the sink.

The figure seemed to notice the light seeping from the cabinet under the sink, and the pace of his steps suddenly quickened.

'Hurry up, hurry up, pick up the flashlight!' Fenghu Kyosuke grinned in his heart, waiting for the next moment of light, and then -

“Bang!!!”

In the darkness, Xiaolan suddenly felt a big hand covering her face, and before she could react, she heard a snap.

Then came Tachibana Shizuka's voice: "The lights are on, Ran. Get ready!"

Xiaolan didn't care about being shy and closed her eyes tightly. Then Tachibana Shizuka moved her hand away, and Xiaolan felt a burst of light through her eyelids.

In an instant, the originally dark fifteenth floor of the hotel was brightly lit. All the lights turning on at the same time was like a small flash bomb to Kyosuke Fudo, who was used to the darkness and was trying hard to keep his eyes open.

This sudden light made Kyosuke Fuuto subconsciously cover his eyes with his arms. When he realized something was wrong and forced himself to open his eyes, he saw a group of big men appearing in the women's bathroom in front of him.

Wait, this is the women's restroom, right?
Kyosuke Fudo felt his brain pause for a moment, and then his brain began to process what his eyes saw.

For example, there were several big men standing at the front of the women's restroom holding explosion-proof shields, and several criminal police officers behind them were aiming at him with police revolvers.

Further behind him was Sato Miwako, who was very well protected by everyone and was staring at him with gritted teeth.

Shit! Something's wrong. Someone's been plotting against me!

Fenghu Kyosuke's first reaction was to run away, but he was a highly educated psychologist after all.

He knew very well the extent of the sin he had committed.

If he was just an ordinary murderer, he might have a chance of survival if he ran away suddenly - provided that all the police arrangements were concentrated in this small women's bathroom.

However, he attacked current detectives twice, and one of the veteran detectives is still in the hospital and has not yet regained consciousness.

He was sure that if he ran away, the detectives would shoot without hesitation.

At this point, evidence, testimony, confessions, etc. are no longer important to the detectives of the Investigation Division.

It was more important for them not to have Fudo Kyosuke around. It seemed like they had a choice, but in reality, there was no choice at all. Fudo Kyosuke didn't want to die yet—he felt he could still struggle.

So the pistol and umbrella fell to the ground, and then he raised his hands high: "Surrender, I surrender!"

The atmosphere at the scene was almost stagnant, and some detectives even sighed with regret.

Of course, they would not only deploy personnel in the women's bathroom. In fact, there were detectives not far from the bathroom to prevent Kyosuke Fudo from escaping.

But the reason they hid their bodies wasn't to tempt Kyosuke Fudo to escape?

Others were surrounded by three and missing one, but here they were surrounded by one and missing three. It was a pity that Fenghu Kyosuke didn't fall for it.

Kyosuke Fudo raised his hands in an attempt to surrender, but the many detectives in the women's bathroom did not respond for a while.

All they wanted to do was to test it again. What if Kyosuke Fuuto suddenly had a brain storm and ran away?

What the detectives didn't know was that the more they tested Kyosuke Fuuto, the less he dared to run. He had a premonition that if he moved at all, he might turn into a sieve.

In the end, Sato, who was at the innermost part, couldn't stand it anymore. The gangster had clearly made up his mind to surrender, and there was no point in continuing the stalemate.

What will this scene mean when other guests come over after hearing the noise?

So, this group of detectives rushed forward and tied up Kyosuke Fudo tightly.

Tachibana Shizuka was watching not far away. Just the one he saw was that Kyosuke Fudo was hit hard several times, and there were some that he didn't see.

However, Tachibana Shizuka did not sympathize with Fudo Kyosuke at all - to Tachibana Shizuka, Fudo Kyosuke deserved it.

As for whether these little tricks are reasonable, legal, and compliant, he is neither a prosecutor nor a judge, so what does it have to do with him?
After watching the excitement, Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan returned to the banquet hall. On the way, Xiaolan curiously asked the police officers why they didn't arrest the criminals immediately.

Tachibana Shizuka thought about it and decided to tell Xiaolan the truth: "Because they are waiting for Fudo Kyosuke to rebel."

Xiaolan is kind but not naive or virgin. She immediately understood what Tachibana Shizuka meant.

"But do this." Xiaolan's kind instinct made her feel that there was something wrong with doing this.

“There’s nothing I can do. This is the way the world is now. Bad people are bad, but good people have to be even worse if they want to deal with bad people.

"The police officers finally followed the rules, otherwise he would have been beaten to a pulp the moment he saw Fudo Kyosuke."

Tachibana Shizuka doesn't intend to keep Ran from seeing the dark side of reality for the rest of her life. In fact, by following Kudo Shinichi and then Mori Kogoro, Ran has already seen almost every bit of the dark side of reality.

Being good to someone does not mean protecting her like a child, but telling her what is dangerous, what is safe, what is the logic of social operation, and what are the unspoken rules between people.

When reality cannot be changed, this is the best approach. Tachibana Shizuka does not think that he can change the rules of reality. He is just an implementer of the rules.

So he only told Xiaolan a part of what he knew.

"I understand!" Xiaolan nodded vigorously, then smiled at Tachibana Shizuka: "The police officers are right. We really can't be too strict with the rules when dealing with bad guys like this!"

Tachibana Shizuka was very relieved - Xiaolan didn't need to be a police officer, and it was reliable for Mika to have such an idea.
