Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Shinichi Kudo immediately perked up, his eyes lighting up instantly: "What strange gift did you say?"

Sharon nodded and said, "Three days ago, I received a gift from this theater troupe. It was a golden apple spray-painted with gold paint. On it were written strange words, 'Dedicated to the most beautiful woman,' written in animal blood."

Yukiko pondered for a moment: "I see. No wonder I felt the atmosphere between you two was a bit strange just now. That's why!"

The only male among the celebrities present, Heath Frockhart, spoke up: "Alright, I think this is just someone's prank. The performance is about to start, let's get ready."

When it comes to serious matters...

No one was going to delay any longer.

After leaving the dressing room, I walked towards the passageway on the other side of the stage.

The passageway was quite spacious, but it looked rather dark due to the lack of lighting. However, the light coming from other rooms made it possible to see the way.

As Yukiko walked, she said to Sharon beside her, "This isn't really appropriate... Their performance is starting in forty minutes, why bother them like this?"

Sharon said, "Don't worry, for the first twenty minutes, there will be a narrator to lead the audience to realize that the stage is the place where Greek mythology is performed."

"Ok?"

Xiaolan suddenly noticed something above her head and asked curiously, "What are those things on the ceiling? They look huge..."

Sharon smiled and said, "That's a stage costume. It took up too much space, so it fell on there."

"I see..."

Xiaolan felt particularly curious and couldn't help but glance at the ceiling a few more times. The next second, she felt something move and quickly fall down, causing her to let out a scream of "Ah!"

I heard Xiaolan's voice.

Everyone looked up and saw a suit of armor fall down, and they all screamed and scattered to the sides.

But an accident happened.

Ross Ishert's skirt got caught on a number plate, delaying her best chance to escape. She could only scream as she watched the suit of armor fall straight down on her head.

"Danger!"

Xiao Lan shouted and, disregarding her own safety, rushed towards Ross Ishtar, shoving her aside.

but……

The armor was already on Xiaolan's head, and she had no chance to dodge. She could only close her eyes in fear.

This happened in the blink of an eye.

The others around were caught off guard and could only stare wide-eyed at the impending tragedy.

call out!

A flash of white streaked past.

A white spider web instantly wrapped around Xiaolan's waist, and then she felt a tremendous force pull her out and into a warm embrace.

next second...

boom!!!

The passageway seemed to tremble, and the sound of armor hitting the floor sent chills down one's spine.

Yukiko and the others stared with their mouths agape, their hearts finally settling down, but they couldn't utter a word. The scene they had just witnessed was too dangerous, and they hadn't yet calmed down.

Sharon looked at Shiraishi Xiu, a glint in her eyes.

To be precise, however, it was as if he was looking at the white spiderweb retracting from the watch on his wrist, a look of great interest on his face.

0. Requesting flowers.......

Xiaolan tightly closed her eyes in fear, only cautiously opening them when she felt no pain. Looking at Bai Shixiu holding her, she said in a trembling voice:

"Were you rescued...?"

"Yes."

Shiraishi Xiu rolled his eyes in annoyance and flicked the little girl's forehead hard, causing her to immediately clutch her forehead in pain.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, and if his multi-functional watch hadn't had that function, things could have been very dangerous.

His heart was pounding with fear, and he wanted nothing more than to slap the little girl twice to teach her a lesson for always showing off.

"Ah ah? IIIIIIn"

Ross Ishtar screamed and ran quickly towards Xiaolan, saying gratefully:

...0

"Thank you so much, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I..."

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Xiao Lan waved her hands hastily, still somewhat dazed and shaken, her face showing lingering fear.

Heath Flockhart approached the armor and examined the ropes binding it: "This must have been an accident. It seems the armor was too heavy, and the ropes snapped under the strain."

Sharon approached Xiaolan and handed her a handkerchief: "Wipe the cold sweat off your forehead... I told you, there are no gods in this world. If there were, you wouldn't have been in such danger. You should thank the people around you."

After saying that, Sharon waved to the crowd and left, seemingly not planning to go see the stage play.

Ran held a handkerchief in her hand, looked at Sharon's departing figure, and then looked at Shiraishi Osamu beside her.

Bai Shixiu laughed and said, "I think you're frightened. Why don't we go for a walk?"

"Hmm?" Xiaolan nodded obediently.

Even at this moment, Yukiko didn't forget her son and hurriedly said, "Shinichi, you should go and comfort Ran too."

Shinichi Kudo wasn't concerned with any of that right now; he was just staring at the armor, frowning as he said, "Don't bother me, I'm thinking about this."

Yukiko:......

She was almost driven to madness, and finally stomped her foot in anger, giving up all hope that her son would do well.

Chapter 0067: Getting Lost with Xiaolan

We left the theater.

It was nighttime outside, and it was raining quite heavily, leaving Shiraishi Osamu and Ran unsure of what to do.

"Sigh, we don't even have an umbrella," Shiraishi Osamu said with distress. "It's really terrible."

"If you don't mind, please use mine!"

A familiar voice rang out beside them.

Xiao Lan turned her head and saw Sharon Vineyard's face light up with joy.

Before Xiaolan could speak, Sharon shoved her folding umbrella into her hands: "I was about to drive away, but seeing you two here, I thought I'd give you this umbrella. Have a good time."

“Sa…”

Before Xiaolan could finish speaking, Sharon got into her car and drove away, disappearing into the rainy night in no time.

Xiao Lan looked at the handkerchief in her left hand and the umbrella in her right hand, feeling very comfortable, and held them tightly in her hands.

Shiraishi Osamu asked, "What should we do now? Should we take a walk along the street?"

"good?"

Xiaolan nodded happily, opened the folded umbrella, and looked at Shiraishi Xiu with a smile.

"Well……"

Shiraishi Osamu understood Ran's meaning, hesitated for a moment, but still squeezed under the umbrella and took it from her.

Raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a soft pattering sound.

Against the backdrop of a beautiful night scene, this moment felt rather pleasant.

The umbrella wasn't very big, so Ran took the initiative to hug Shiraishi Osamu's arm to avoid getting wet in the rain.

"Let's go."

After saying this softly, the two began to stroll down the street.

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "Were you terrified inside just now?"

"Um?"

Xiao Lan nodded with a stern face.

This is her expression when she was stunned. It's obvious she hasn't recovered from the initial shock, so her expression looks strange at this moment.

Shiraishi Xiu gently scolded, "You can't take such risks next time. You were lucky today; you wouldn't have been in trouble if it weren't for me."

"Thank you, Xiu?"

Xiaolan replied with a sweet, big smile.

He wasn't upset at all about being reprimanded; on the contrary, he seemed to be humbly accepting the criticism.

Shiraishi's forehead is slick with sweat!

It's obvious that Xiaolan didn't listen to him; it seems today's lesson wasn't profound enough.

He was also quite helpless. Nothing could shake the beliefs of such a kind girl unless she was kept away from such danger.

Seeing that Xiaolan wasn't very close to him, Shiraishi Xiu said irritably:

"Come closer, otherwise if you get sick, your dad will think I'm abusing you. And Sonoko might yell at me too."

"I understand, Xiu, you're so long-winded..."

Xiaolan smiled and replied, then snuggled closer to Shiraishi Xiu.

Rainwater abroad seems different from rainwater in China; it leaves damp, dewy areas, which can be quite uncomfortable.

Ran gently rested her head on Shiraishi Xiu's shoulder, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She was terrified today, thinking she was definitely going to die.

But at the crucial moment, she was saved by the person next to her, instantly lifting her spirits from hell to heaven.

At this moment, Xiaolan was truly grateful to Baishi Xiu, but she didn't know how to repay him, which caused her some distress.

Shiraishi Xiu suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Xiaolan blurted out, "It's about deduction."
