Detective Conan: The Literary Genius is Actually a Great Scientist

The elevator quickly arrived at the third floor.

The two quickly came out, and Lin Ran casually pressed the button for the fifth floor, allowing the empty elevator to continue going up.

He had just noticed that the main door on the first floor of the library was locked from the inside, making it impossible to run out directly. Now, he could only try to stall for time and wait for the police to arrive.

Using the dim light of the emergency lights, Lin Ran made a clear goal and quickly headed towards the innermost small room on the third floor—the power distribution room.

He kicked open the slightly ajar door, found the electrical distribution box, and pulled down the main switch.

"Snap!"

The entire third floor of the library, along with the stairwell they had just come up to, was instantly plunged into complete darkness, with only the faint light from the distant street shining through the windows.

Still not reassured, Lin Ran forcefully snapped several more critical lines to ensure that power could not be restored in the short term.

"How much longer until the police arrive?"

"They said it would take at least 10 minutes..."

"Tsk, get ready to run for your life for the next half hour."

Lin Ranhao had absolutely no faith in the efficiency of the Japanese police.

Especially since this is the world of Detective Conan, the police response time when a murder occurs is always a mystery.

Eri Kisaki neither agreed nor disagreed with the boy's words.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Eri Kisaki frowned slightly, took off her cumbersome suit jacket, straightened her shirt cuffs, revealing her fair wrists, and then...

He calmly walked towards the stairwell.

Lin Ran was contemplating whether she could break the tempered glass of the library for a last-ditch escape when she turned around and saw this scene, leaving her stunned.

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't worry, I can handle him." Eri Kisaki said calmly, "An old man has limited physical strength, I can manage."

Having lived alone for ten years, and knowing that her profession as a lawyer could easily offend people, she systematically learned self-defense techniques and some fighting skills to prevent any potential accidents, and she also maintained a regular exercise routine.

Dealing with an elderly library director is not a problem.

More importantly, she believed that it was because she was chatting with Lin Ran that she delayed his return home, which led to his involvement in the murder case. She felt obligated, both morally and logically, to protect this young and talented writer.

In the darkness, footsteps reached the third-floor stairwell, and a blurry, sinister figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Eri Kisaki's face was stern and she was completely focused.

however--

Reality dealt a heavy blow to the confident Queen.

"Bang!"

A soft gunshot, with the muffled thud of a silencer, burst forth in the darkness, shattering all her expectations.

The orange-red light flashed and disappeared in the darkness.

At the same time, a tremendous force came from the side. The moment the gun went off, Lin Ran pounced and tackled Eri, who was still in a fighting stance, to the ground, narrowly avoiding the bullet.

Then, almost dragging and pulling Eri's wrist, he ran frantically towards the depths of the library, to the area with the densest bookshelves, without looking back.

"Idiot! Idiot! Are you an idiot? How did you even become a lawyer?"

Lin Ran dragged the lawyer along as they ran, cursing angrily.

How could a desperate criminal who dares to hide drugs in a library and kill without hesitation only have one baseball bat?

In the original anime, Director Tsugawa was careless and underestimated Conan and the three little kids, which is why he didn't use his real weapons. Now that he's facing two adults, how could the other side possibly hold back?

These drug traffickers are the most ruthless and vicious!

People are willing to risk their lives for money, let alone someone else's!

Lin Ran, pulling Eri along, dealt with Director Tsugawa in the dark library. Fortunately, the library was large enough, with numerous bookshelves providing ample cover.

Without any lights and in complete darkness, Director Tsugawa couldn't accurately pinpoint their location and could only occasionally fire into the darkness based on the faint footsteps and movements.

The two narrowly escaped by hiding behind a heavy bookshelf.

Before Lin Ran could catch her breath, she couldn't help but continue to berate the equally breathless Fei Yingli in a low voice: "Where's your intelligence? Where's your brain? Has it...gone somewhere else?"

He originally wanted to be more direct, but upon catching a glimpse of the other person's beautifully contoured chest even in the darkness, he changed his mind.

Eri Kisaki's cheeks burned fiercely in the darkness.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a prodigy in both her studies and career. When has she ever been scolded like this before?

But faced with the boy's angry rebuke, she had no confidence to refute him. She could only lower her head slightly and apologize with difficulty: "I'm sorry... I really... didn't think things through just now."

Lin Ran, still not satisfied after scolding her, peeked out again and shouted into the dark corridor outside:

"Director Tsugawa! The police are on their way! You still have time to run! Don't think you're safe just because Japan doesn't have the death penalty! Let me tell you, I'm loaded! Believe me or not, I can hire the best lawyers and pull some strings to get you rotting in jail, making you suffer a living hell, you believe me!"

By the dim light filtering in through the window, Eri Kisaki stared blankly at the boy's once handsome face, now displaying a fierce, "shrewish" expression, a stark contrast to his previous calm and artistic demeanor.

After venting her anger in one breath, Lin Ran shrank back and let out a long sigh of relief before the bullets came flying at her.

Damn, when has he ever been treated like this?

He even pinned a small-time drug dealer down in a corner and beat him up. When Gin found out, he thought Gin was done for!

He turned his head and met Eri Kisaki's gaze, which was filled with complex emotions. Only then did he realize that he had been a little out of line, and that... he had been holding her wrist tightly the whole time.

He coughed slightly, a little awkwardly, and released his grip.

"Um... I'll go distract him. You stay here and hide. Don't do anything rash."

Lin Ran lowered her voice and revealed her plan.

Eri Kisaki frowned immediately, her cold, beautiful face filled with disapproval: "No, it's too dangerous! We can't be separated!"

"We must separate!"

Lin Ran's attitude was firm: "Two people like that would be too conspicuous!"

His gaze swept over Eri Kisaki. In the dim light, he could see that after her escape, her once meticulously styled bun was now somewhat loose, with a few strands of hair falling down her cheeks. Fine beads of sweat clung to her forehead, and her white shirt had been torn open during the struggle, revealing a breathtaking glimpse of her snow-white skin.

Just then, Director Tsugawa seemed to notice the commotion and fired another shot toward the bookshelf where they were hiding.

Lin Ran instinctively pressed Fei Yingli against the bookshelf, using her body to protect her. At the same time, to maintain her balance, she braced one hand on the bookshelf and the other hand instinctively pressed down on front of Fei Yingli.

"Don't move!"

He lowered his voice.

Eri Kisaki was completely enveloped by him, and her body suddenly stiffened.

She could clearly feel the boy's chest rising and falling rapidly with his breathing, and... his hand, burning hot, pressed tightly against her left breast through the thin fabric of his shirt.

His lips moved a few times, but he didn't speak in the end.

Lin Ran stared into her beautiful eyes, which were so close to hers, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Listen! Your task is to hide well, then urge the police to come quickly. The rest is up to me!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that the touch of one of the hands was a little strange.

I subconsciously looked down.

Beneath the lawyer's white shirt, a large hand was pressing his proudly erect breasts into a ball, which then spread outwards. Even through the clothes, one could feel the soft yet resilient elasticity.

Lin Ran was momentarily stunned.

No wonder...it feels so soft...and quite substantial...

"Um..." Kisaki Yingli was about to speak.

"Do you understand?" Lin Ran interrupted her. At this moment, she couldn't be guilty. Facing an extremely strong woman like Eri, she had to be even stronger than her to keep her in check and make her obey.

So he pretended not to notice that he had pressed the wrong spot.

Looking into the boy's eyes, which shone brightly even in the darkness, and feeling the strange sensation on her chest, Eri's red lips trembled, and she finally nodded.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran nonchalantly withdrew her hand.

He took a step back, creating some distance, and gave the cold, elegant queen before him, whose slightly disheveled hair held a unique charm in the darkness, a smile that carried a youthful air:

"Don't worry, my mom always told me when I was little that I should never let a girl get hurt in front of me."

His gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he added, "Especially... someone as beautiful as you, Attorney Fei."

After saying that, before Eri could react, Lin Ran took a deep breath, suddenly jumped out from behind the bookshelf, deliberately making a loud noise, and ran in the opposite direction from where Eri was hiding.

I can't stand even a little bit.

If we don't teach this old man a lesson, will we really think he's a weak and helpless scholar?

Physics is also about principles!
