In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

The words were not finished.

Xia Ye suddenly looked up at the fifth floor, her expression turning serious.

"What happened?"

Shiho immediately became alert.

The fact that Xia Ye could show such a serious expression must mean something serious.

"Bam—!"

A loud bang came from the fifth floor.

Shiho's expression changed; it was a gunshot!

After the gunfire.

The fifth floor instantly became incredibly noisy, with a constant stream of hurried footsteps.

"Let's go to the movie theater!"

Xia Ye decisively pulled Shiho up.

He shielded her behind him and prepared to walk towards the movie theater.

With Zhi Bao by my side, her safety is of course the most important thing; nothing else matters!

"what--!"

Before he could even start walking...

A panicked scream came from upstairs.

Xia Ye's eyes sharpened.

He let go of Shiho's hand and leaped high into the air.

He stretched out his hands and caught the girl who was falling from the building in his arms.

However, before he even landed—

"Garden!"

A slender figure jumped directly from the building.

Helpless, Xia Ye forced out his core strength and abruptly stopped in mid-air for a second.

Move the girl who fell earlier to your left hand.

With a swift movement of his right hand, he caught the girl's waist and landed safely.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

If Xia Ye's body hadn't undergone various enhancements and attribute boosts, she really wouldn't have been able to perform such an extreme move.

He gently put the two girls in his arms down.

Xia Ye looked at those two familiar pretty faces and smiled.

"Are you guys okay?"

I never expected that my first encounter with them would be under these circumstances.

Sonoko and Ran!

"I'm fine~"

Xiao Lan's face flushed slightly; Xia Ye's hand just now...

Well, in this emergency, we must act expediently!

It was just a pinch, you can't blame them!

"Sonoko, how are you?"

"I'm fine~"

Yuanzi still seemed a little dizzy.

However, upon seeing Xia Ye's face, she instantly perked up, smiling energetically as she thanked Xia Ye:

"Thank you for saving me. My name is Suzuki Sonoko. You can just call me Sonoko."

"This is my best friend, Ran Mouri. You can call her Ran!"

"Sonoko, Ran, hello~"

Xia Ye called out the names of the two girls she was meeting for the first time.

No one present thought anything was wrong.

Even Xiaolan, who is usually shy and polite, had no objections.

After all, he always called everyone by their names and nicknames in his log, and they were all used to it.

"Autumn leaves in the mountains, this is Shiho Miyano~"

Xia Ye briefly introduced herself and Shiho.

He reached out and shielded the three girls behind him, whispering the instructions:

"You guys come with me!"

Xia Ye finally felt relieved after entering the movie theater.

If it were just him alone, then it wouldn't matter.

With his current strength.

You don't even need to prepare in advance to dodge bullets.

Judging from the sound, those people were carrying pistols, but the rate of fire was too slow to hurt him at all.

The key point is that he's currently with three girls.

Xiaolan is quite skilled in karate.

However, his mentality is not very stable, and his actual combat strength fluctuates.

Shiho and Sonoko have no fighting ability.

Xia Ye certainly couldn't let them be exposed to gunfire.

What happened up there?

Once she felt safe, Xia Ye finally had time to ask about the situation.

"They're jewelry robbers! They're robbing a small jewelry exhibition that's actually taking place there!" Sonoko exclaimed angrily.

"After they opened fire, the crowd scattered and I was pushed off the railing! If it weren't for Xia Ye saving me, I might have..."

"It's alright now~"

Xia Ye naturally patted Yuanzi's head.

With gentle eyes and a soft tone, she offered quiet words of comfort.

Sonoko was slightly taken aback.

A pretty smile, different from her usual carefree demeanor, appeared on her face.

no way!

That look in his eyes was so gentle.

She felt herself fall for him instantly.

To avoid being noticed, she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Xiaolan, how did you fall down too?"

Sonoko is really strange. With Ran's strength, how could she be squeezed out?

"Silly!" Xia Ye explained with a laugh:

"Xiao Lan could tell at a glance that she jumped down herself."

"When I picked her up just now, I felt a good amount of power from her."

"With her strength, jumping off the building wouldn't be a problem for her."

"I guess she was so anxious when she saw you fall that she jumped down after you."

"Xiaolan~"

Sonoko didn't say anything to express her gratitude.

There's no need to say anything more about her relationship with Xiaolan.

We're not blood sisters, but we're closer than blood sisters—that's no joke.

"Sonoko, you scared me to death!"

Xiaolan still feels a bit scared even now!

When Sonoko was pushed out, I clearly saw her fall headfirst.

If Xia Ye hadn't caught her, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"I'm fine!" Sonoko said sweetly, linking her arm with Ran's.

"And I actually benefited from this misfortune by meeting Natsume... and Shiho too, so it's a good thing!"

"Shiho..."

Xiao Lan looked at the girl next to Xia Ye.

She is indeed very beautiful, and has a great figure.

She has a rather aloof demeanor, much like her mother when she's at work.

She had been silent since earlier, observing herself and Sonoko with a scrutinizing gaze.

Is this Shiho Miyano, whom Natsume mentioned the most in her diary?

"Hello~"

To Xia Ye's surprise.

Shiho smiled faintly and extended her hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Shiho Miyano!"

"Ran Mouri, it's nice to meet you too!"

Xiao Lan gently squeezed her hand, a serene and sincere smile on her pretty face.

"Sonoko Suzuki, Shiho, please take care of me from now on!"

Sonoko gently squeezed Shiho's hand as well, her expression unusually serious.

After shaking hands, the three strangers inexplicably developed a tacit understanding.

As the holders of the log, the three were fully aware of their respective identities; strictly speaking, they were truly one of their own.

Xia Ye sensed that something was wrong.

It's really great that Shiho can be friends with Ran and Sonoko.

But in the current atmosphere, why do I feel like I'm the outsider?

Chapter Seventeen: Not a Hero

The movie theater doors are already closed.

Xia Ye sat with the girls on the sofa in the corner.

This is a blind spot.

Those jewel robbers are almost certainly not going to the movie theater.

But if they come, this is also an excellent hiding place.

Ten minutes later, news came from outside.

After successfully stealing the jewelry, the thief engaged in a shootout with Metropolitan Police Department officers who responded to the scene while fleeing the Beika Department Store.
