Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 160 Pressing Xiaolan under Conan
After the gangster said that, all the sounds outside the door disappeared in an instant.

Deathly silence.

It was as if someone had accidentally stepped on a magic teleportation array, teleporting everyone away silently.

However, such magical things would not happen even in this world.

The only possibility is that the criminals discovered them.

Mao Lilan's heart, which had just been put at ease, was once again in her throat.

Click.

A crisp sound made her body tremble.

Although the enemy had tried their best to cover it up, Xiaolan immediately determined that it was the sound of a bullet being loaded.

Xiaolan took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

He took a standard karate stance, ready to face the criminals who might break in at any time.

But her knuckles turned white from exerting too much force, and her slightly trembling calves showed that Xiaolan was not in a high-spirited state at the moment.

On the contrary, she was terrified.

Ran Mao Li is not actually a particularly strong character.

This can be seen from the original work. After she learned several times that Kudo Shinichi had relationships with other women, she despaired and thought she was a failure, but she did not have much fighting spirit to compete with the other party.

In the timeline of this world, although those things did not happen, Xiaolan's personality traits did not change much.

In this dangerous environment, her karate skills could not solve the problem, her father, whom she could rely on, was beaten by gangsters, and her best friend was taken away by the enemy and her life or death was unknown.

The sound of bullets being loaded outside the door agitated her nerves to a great extent each time.

Under this tremendous pressure, Xiaolan's breathing became faster and faster, and her body trembled more and more violently.

Just when she was about to be unable to bear the pressure and was about to push open the door and die together with the other party.

A broad figure stood in front of her.

Mao Lilan's pupils widened instantly, her breathing stopped for a few seconds, and her clenched fists slowly loosened.

Although she knew very well that the boy's body could not block the enemy's bullets for her, the result would most likely be that both of them would be shot through.

But Haruhiko's broad shoulders made Xiaolan feel a strong sense of security.

She subconsciously took a small step forward and reached out to grab the corner of Haruhiko's clothes.

Haruhiko had just been fighting and running away, so he was inevitably covered in sweat.

But the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body seemed like a sedative, making Mao Lilan feel very at ease.

Xiaolan sniffed the scent on him greedily.

One bite, two bites...

Her legs no longer trembled with fear, and her body was filled with strength.

However, it's not enough.

Xiaolan leaned forward slightly, pretending to be observing the door lock through Haruhiko's shoulder, in this way bringing her nose as close to Haruhiko's body as possible.

The smell of sweat on Haruhiko's body is like an addictive drug, making Xiaolan indulge in it endlessly.

Of course she knew that her strange behavior would lead to her death if she was discovered.

However, under the oppression of death.

People do some seemingly irrational and bold things.

Moreover, this feeling of having a strong sense of security while worrying about being discovered by the other party makes Xiaolan, a good girl, feel a wonderful sense of pleasure.

At this time, Xiaolan did not know how much impact this seemingly casual action would have on her entire life trajectory.

"How long are you two going to hold each other?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them. The voice was very low, but it still frightened Haruhiko and the others so much that their hair stood on end.

Before Xiaolan could react, she found herself being embraced by Haruhiko from behind.

A hint of confusion flashed across Xiaolan's beautiful eyes.

Because this subconscious reaction can best reflect a person's innermost thoughts.

When she looked at Haruhiko again, there seemed to be something more in her eyes than before.

But then the two of them took a closer look and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the person who suddenly appeared behind him was not an enemy.

On the ceiling of this lounge, the metal baffle of the central air conditioner was removed, and a little kid wearing glasses and a blue suit stuck his head out and looked at them with resentment.

"Conan?" Xiaolan was shocked. "Why are you here? Go back quickly. The people outside will rush in soon..."

Conan looked at Xiaolan deeply and said in a low voice: "Come up quickly, we can leave here."

Conan arrived late and just happened to see Xiaolan sticking close to Haruhiko.

The two of them didn't actually hug each other. Xiaolan just gently pinched the corner of Haruhiko's clothes with her hand.

But the strange expression on her face made Conan's heart tighten, as if he was falling into an ice cave.

What is she...doing?

Why do you have that expression?
A bold guess suddenly popped up in Conan's mind, and then a surge of anger surged in his heart.

However, Haruhiko Kousaka didn't seem to notice Xiaolan's appearance, which made Conan unable to blame him. The feeling of being unable to vent his anger made Conan's face even uglier.

While Mao Lilan was still in a daze, Haruhiko had already moved a stool over and placed it under the vent, saying to her, "You go first, and be gentle."

Xiaolan looked in the direction of the door and found that the criminals were already twisting the door lock. Fortunately, the door was strong enough to support them until they climbed up the ventilation duct.

"What are you standing there for? Come on," Haruhiko urged.

Xiaolan no longer hesitated and began to climb.

Because she was wearing hot pants, she didn't have to worry about exposing herself, and Haruhiko's eyes were fixed on the door.

His unintentional action actually dissipated some of Conan's dissatisfaction.

But just at the moment when Xiaolan's black leather shoes stepped on the chair.

Haruhiko's body was instantly ejected, and he knocked Ran Mouri, who was just about to stand on tiptoe to climb, to the ground.

The chair was blown over and hit the floor.

Xiaolan was pinned down by Haruhiko and looked panic-stricken.

And on the wall above the two people, there was a black hole in the shape of a gun hole.

Conan was standing at the vent looking at Haruhiko's hand pressing on Xiaolan's belly, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

He subconsciously raised the tranquilizer gun in his hand, but quickly turned the muzzle towards the door.

Conan couldn't find any fault with what Kousaka Haruhiko did.

If Haruhiko hadn't rushed over, Xiaolan would definitely have been shot in the body.

"Hurry up and get up. Why don't you two seem to be in a hurry?" Conan urged with an unhappy look on his face. His expression only improved a little after Haruhiko's hand left Xiaolan's belly.

Haruhiko and Xiaolan got up from the ground.

At this time, Kobayashi Taizo's angry voice came from outside the door: "Are you crazy? What if you break the machine?"

"But……"

"Stop talking nonsense and just hit me."

There were continuous banging sounds on the door, and it was estimated that it would be knocked open soon.

Haruhiko pulled up Ran Mouri and helped her climb up the vent, then he climbed up himself.

Xiaolan is on top again this time.

However, due to time constraints, Haruhiko followed her very closely.

While climbing in the pipe, Xiaolan's white bubble socks, which were lifted to her ankles, would occasionally scratch his face.

This made Haruhiko subconsciously think of the soft touch of Xiaolan's feet wrapped in socks.

The moment Haruhiko closed the vent's damper, the door was finally pushed open.

Several armed gangsters broke in.

Kobayashi Taizo looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the ventilation duct.

He was just about to send someone to get the pipeline blueprints and block the exit when Ah Tian suddenly shouted, "Boss, the machine has stopped."

"Restart it quickly, hurry up, I think the police have already come in." said Taizo Kobayashi.

"It will take some time." Tian said, "The key."

Kobayashi Taizo stood there with a gloomy expression.

The reason why he came back early was because he was accidentally taken away by the woman with long light golden hair while chasing her.

In the end, he was unable to catch up with the other party, so he hurried back early for fear that something might go wrong in the rear.

I didn’t expect that my house would still be robbed.

Kobayashi Taizo reacted immediately. He asked his men to check the surveillance footage in the building and found that the door had been opened and teams of police were pouring in, but it would take some time for them to break in.

Kobayashi Taizo pondered for a while and said: "Plan B, take the hostages away. We can't go through this in vain. With the Suzuki family in our hands, we can at least make Suzuki Shiro bleed." His men immediately prepared to evacuate.

Kobayashi Taizo used the communicator to call the team that continued to chase the woman, but no one responded after calling several times.

Kobayashi Taizo had a bad feeling in his heart, and he called out tentatively, "Sato Masao?"

This time, a familiar voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Sorry, boss, I have to think about myself too."

Kobayashi Taizo squeezed the communicator until it creaked.

The successive setbacks made him temporarily lose his mind.

Kobayashi Taizo cursed fiercely into the communicator, then went out and killed three hostages. Then he straightened his clothes and said calmly, "I've always felt that guy was mentally ill. I should have buried him with us."

Then he led his men to implement the alternative plan.

...

Masao Sato did not hear Kobayashi Taizo's scolding because he threw the communicator directly into the trash can.

He was wearing a neat suit with a staff badge on his chest. There was some blood on his body and a deep wound on his brow that was so deep that the bone could be seen, but it had begun to scab over.

At this time, Sato Masao was standing at the elevator door of a certain floor. There were corpses behind and under his feet, of course, they were all the corpses of his own people.

It took a lot of effort to deal with these people, but the wound on the forehead was not sustained here, but was caused by the sneak attack by Kousaka Haruhiko before.

There was a deep bloodstain on the brow bone, and even after simple treatment, it was still bleeding a little bit.

I didn't expect that kid was so powerful. I almost died at his hands.

However, he still has one last important bargaining chip.

Masao Sato looked at the brown-haired woman at the elevator door and smiled slightly.

In order to increase his bargaining chips with the other party, Kobayashi Taizo took her out as a hostage, but he didn't expect that it would make things difficult for himself.

[Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. She has a close relationship with that kid, Kousaka Haruhiko.]

Masao Sato didn't know much about the girl in front of him.

But these few messages are enough.

By holding her in his hands, he could not only make the Suzuki family pay him a fairly satisfactory reward, but also make sure that kid Kosaka Haruhiko received the punishment he deserved.

Wouldn't it be nice to kill two birds with one stone?

How should I punish her?
The continuous pain from the wound on his brow bone made Sato Masao a little irritated, and he subconsciously began to fantasize about how to punish Kousaka Haruhiko.

It would be a shame to kill her directly. It would be a shame not to enjoy such a beautiful woman.

But simply experiencing it didn't seem to be enough to vent the anger in his heart.

How about making a video and posting it online?
When Haruhiko Kousaka finds out that everyone can see the woman he likes being pinned down by someone else, will he be furious?
However, if we do this, the retaliation from the Suzuki Group may be a bit troublesome.

But Masao Sato had originally planned to take a break after completing this job.

When the time comes, find a deserted island, bring enough supplies and painting tools, and stay there for a year or two. Not only will the Suzuki Group, but even Interpol won't be able to find him.

But it’s better to coax her into staying here for now.

Sato Masao walked over with a smile.

"Miss, I'd like to discuss a partnership with you. Do you have your parents' phone number?"

Masao Sato handed the phone to Sonoko.

...

Haruhiko climbed along the pipe for a long time and finally jumped down in an empty meeting room.

The chairs in the conference room were neatly arranged, a pile of documents was piled in the corner, and a promotional video of the Suzuki Group was playing on the big screen. It seemed that the people here were taken away suddenly.

After a conversation, he learned that Conan and Hattori Heiji had already noticed a suspicious person mixed in with the crowd. They chased the suspect for a long time and investigated, but the enemy suddenly attacked, and the two of them decisively hid and moved to the dark.

After that, they cooperated to capture two criminals. After interrogation, Conan thought of approaching the detention location along the ventilation duct, trying to see if there was a chance to rescue the hostages.

Unexpectedly, Conan witnessed the scene of Xiaolan clinging to Haruhiko.

After Haruhiko jumped out of the ventilation duct, he immediately tore off his disguise.

This thing is quite hot, and now that it has been discovered, it doesn't make much difference whether you bring it or not.

"Where have you been? I was so worried about you." Xiaolan wanted to hug Conan in her arms with a reproachful look on her face.

But Conan dodged a step back and looked at Xiaolan with complicated eyes.

However, Xiaolan couldn't understand the meaning in Conan's eyes.

Before leaving, Conan dropped a bug in the lounge, so they probably heard Kobayashi Taizo's angry curses and also knew that Sonoko might have been kidnapped by Sato Masao.

"What should we do, Haruhiko?" Xiaolan looked worried, and she subconsciously grabbed Haruhiko's sleeve while speaking.

It was not until she was stared at by Hattori Heiji in shock that she realized something was wrong. She quickly let go of her hand, blushing and staring at the tip of her shoe without saying a word.

"I have to go find Sonoko." Haruhiko said briefly.

"But this building is so big, how do we know where the criminals took the garden?" Xiaolan looked worried.

Haruhiko was also a little surprised.

This is indeed a troublesome problem. Sato Masao even betrayed his own organization. He must have been prepared and it is impossible for him to be found so easily.

But we can't just stand by and watch Yuanzi being kidnapped.

When Haruhiko was extremely anxious—

The communicator he had seized from the criminals earlier rang.

It’s Huibara Ai.

"Aren't you researching new drugs?" Haruhiko turned the volume down to the minimum and spoke quietly to Haibara Ai.

Huiyuan Ai: "I could see the movements of those criminals over here, and I was worried that you might die there, so I called to ask."

Haruhiko was suddenly touched: "Don't worry, I won't die that easily."

Huiyuan Ai continued, "Of course you can't die so easily. You haven't explained to me what that strange sound was just now.

You can't die at the hands of those people, if you have to die, I have to kill you with my own hands."

Haruhiko glanced at Xiaolan awkwardly: "Uh..."

"Okay, you want to save that young lady, right? I can provide you with a certain degree of help through the system." Haibara Ai took the initiative to change the subject.

"Really? That's great." Haruhiko said in surprise.

Next, the group followed Haibara Ai's instructions and narrowly avoided several waves of men abandoned by Kobayashi Taizo, and finally arrived at a workshop full of pipes.

Haruhiko opened a rusty iron door and carefully examined the gap. "There are signs of it being opened. This must be it."

"Underground pipeline?" Xiaolan found it a little unbelievable.

"That's right, if Sato Masao wants to leave here, this is his only choice." Haruhiko conveyed Haibara Ai's words to everyone.

Afterwards, everyone no longer hesitated and entered the underground passage one after another.

The space below was large and somewhat dark, but there were bright lights on the walls at intervals to provide light. The air in the tunnel was not very good and was filled with a musty smell.

The surrounding walls look quite old, and it is estimated that the tunnel existed before the Suzuki Building was built.

The overall feeling of this passage is a bit like walking in an abandoned subway station.

The passage is wide enough for several people to walk side by side.

After what happened just now, Xiaolan felt embarrassed to get too close to Haruhiko.

Conan intentionally or unintentionally used his body to separate the two.

"Be careful, the other party might set up some means to block your pursuit," Haruhiko warned.

Conan didn't take it seriously, and Hattori Heiji didn't care either because of his carefree personality.

Xiaolan believed Haruhiko's words without a doubt and looked around vigilantly as she walked.

The group walked along the tunnel for a few minutes.

pat!

A crisp metallic sound.

Haruhiko, relying on his hearing which was much sharper than that of an ordinary person, caught this sound from the messy footsteps.

He ran over and grabbed Mao Lilan's arm, preventing her from moving forward.

"What's wrong?" Mao Lilan was startled.

Conan and Heiji also looked over.

"Don't move, just stay in this position." Haruhiko slowly squatted at Xiaolan's feet.

Conan finally got the chance. He rushed over and pushed Haruhiko's shoulder, angrily saying, "What do you want to do to Xiaolan?"

"Haruhiko, um..." Mouri Ran also hesitated to speak.

At this time, Haruhiko raised his head, his face very grim, and said:

"Xiaolan seems to have stepped on a booby trap."
