Shiraishi Osamu: "What reasoning?"

Xiaolan: "It happened on the plane."

Shiraishi Osamu: "Oh, is there anything you don't understand? I can explain it to you."

Xiaolan: ……

Osamu Shiraishi: "But you girls usually don't care about these things. You're probably thinking about that poor lady. That's life, sometimes reality is even more outrageous than fiction."

Listening to Shiraishi Osamu's words, Ran suppressed her laughter and tried her best not to laugh out loud.

She had only said it subconsciously before realizing that the person in question was there. Looking at him speaking so seriously, she thought Shiraishi Osamu was really cute at that moment.

Without realizing it.

The two walked a long way and came to a bustling street, surrounded by shops.

"Wow~" Ran exclaimed happily, pulling Shiraishi Shu to the glass window of a boutique. Looking at the exquisite little items inside, she said excitedly, "Shu, let's go in and buy some, then we can give them to Sonoko and the others."

Shiraishi Osamu moved the umbrella closer, frowning as he said, "I don't object to that, but we don't have any US dollars on us. Can we use Japanese yen?"

Click!

Xiaolan seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

They really don't have dollars; it seems like you can't buy anything here.

"Hmm..." Xiaolan sniffed, looking longingly at the exquisite items inside the glass window, and said sadly, "I'm so unwilling to give up. I should have exchanged some dollars..."

Shiraishi Xiu said in a serious tone, "Even if we can't buy the things we see, we can keep the memory of this scene in our minds."

Xiao Lan was speechless.

He stared at Shiraishi Osamu with his beautiful white eyes.

"Hahaha……"

Shiraishi Osamu couldn't help but laugh, then the two of them turned around and their expressions froze instantly, and their laughter stopped abruptly.

The scene before me was lively and bustling.

People come and go, and there's a constant stream of vehicles.

They were surrounded by a dazzling array of shops, and there was a crossroads in front of them, but at this moment they were a little silent.

Shiraishi Xiu leaned closer to Xiaolan's ear and whispered, "Xiaolan, which way should we go back?"

Xiaolan blushed, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and pointed randomly in a direction: "This way, we should have come from this way."

“Uh…” Shiraishi Xiu looked in the direction Xiaolan pointed, and then looked in the other three directions, but the surrounding buildings all seemed to be the same, and he couldn’t tell which way was which at all.

That's right...

They seem to be lost.

In the blink of an eye, I don't know why I ended up here.

And at this time—

A police siren rang out, and then three or four police cars were seen heading in one direction.

Shiraishi Osamu's eyes lit up instantly. He had encountered Shinichi Kudo twice, and both times a murder had occurred, so he felt that something might happen tonight as well.

Without a second thought, he immediately grabbed Xiaolan and headed towards the police car.

Chapter 0068: The Sorrowful Angel

Shiraishi Osamu's guess was indeed correct.

After following the direction of the police car, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Ghost Theater, where the police car was parked.

But when they went inside, they found no police. When they arrived at the stage, they discovered that all the police had come.

They all kept their mouths shut, listening quietly to the reasoning of the boy on the stage in front of them, who was none other than Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo, of course, also saw Osamu Shiraishi return. He raised an eyebrow at him triumphantly, a victorious expression on his face, and continued his reasoning.

Shiraishi Osamu and Ran didn't speak, nor did they know what had happened; they simply listened quietly.

They soon learned the truth.

The male star, Heath Frockhart, was shot and killed on stage.

In Shinichi Kudo's subsequent deductions, Heath Flockhart is revealed to be an exceptionally capable individual who has ambiguous relationships with three female stars in the theater troupe.

The person who killed Heath Frockhart was none other than Ross Ishert, the actress whom Ran saved.

Finally, the reason was found out...

The reason why Ross Ishtar and Heath Frockhart had an ambiguous relationship was because Ross Ishtar played the role of an angel in a stage play.

Recently, Heath Flockhart was invited to make a movie and decided not to play the role of an angel in the stage play, which made Ross Ishtar want to kill him.

Because... Ross Ishtar's favorite person is Heath Flockhart, who plays the angel, so he won't let anyone tarnish the role of the angel.

Because of this thought, she killed Heath Flockhart, but Shinichi Kudo saw through her plan.

The reasoning is complete.

Everyone stared at Ross Isht in astonishment.

"Hahaha……"

Ross Ishtar suddenly laughed, looking at Ran beside Shiraishi Osamu and saying:

"This time, God was on my side too. Otherwise, when the armor fell off and my skirt got caught on the sign, no one would have been there to save me. Thank you, lovely angel... you helped me fulfill my wish. Haha... hahaha..."

Amidst the laughter, Ross Ishtar was taken away by the police, and Shinichi Kudo's deduction was correct this time as well.

Xiao Lan stared blankly at Ross Ishtar being led away, her bright eyes wide open, saying nothing, just watching.

Shiraishi Osamu couldn't help but frown.

Looking worriedly at Xiaolan beside her, she knew that for the kind-hearted girl, her act of saving someone had actually harmed them; she must be feeling incredibly distressed.

It's all over.

Outside the Ghost Theater.

Yukiko and Shinichi Kudo sat in the police car and said to the man and woman standing outside:

"Xiao Lan, why don't you wait for us here? We're just going to give a statement, we'll be back soon."

"Thank you, Aunt Yukiko. You've already told me the way to the hotel. I remember where I'm staying."

"Well, okay... By the way, you guys have to be careful of that highway devil. He's an Eastern Sakura man with long hair."

Yukiko didn't intend to persuade her any further. She nodded to Shiraishi Osamu, who was next to Ran, and then let the police car leave.

Only two people remained by the roadside.

Ran and Shiraishi Osamu.

Shiraishi Xiu looked at Xiaolan's smiling face and said softly, "Shall we take a car or walk?"

Xiao Lan said sweetly, "Let's walk."

After she finished speaking, her sweet smile faded considerably, leaving only a faint smile. She then took Shiraishi Xiu's hand and walked forward.

The two remained silent.

I walked slowly down the rainy street.

It was past midnight, and although the lights were still on, there were very few pedestrians on the street.

The two of them walked on the empty street, which inevitably felt a little lonely.

Seeing Ran's silence, Shiraishi Osamu asked, "What's wrong? Are you bothered by what that woman said to you at the end?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked confused and asked curiously, "What did she say at the end? She spoke a little fast, I didn't hear clearly."

Seeing her like this, Shiraishi Xiu didn't expose her. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't hear it. Anyway, it wasn't something anyone would like to hear. By the way, come a little closer. Look, your shoulders are all wet."

"Oh~" Xiaolan only realized at this moment that her shoulders were wet from the rain. She quickly moved closer to Shiraishi Xiu, took out the handkerchief that Sharon had given her, and was about to wipe her hands when a gust of wind suddenly blew by and blew her hands away.

Eh…

Xiaolan reached out and waved, but missed. The handkerchief floated to the steps of an abandoned building next door.

Shiraishi Xiu stopped and realized that they had walked into an alleyway, surrounded by old houses that looked uninhabited.

Not far away is the exit of the alley, and just by looking at that small exit you can see the bustling city, making it feel like the whole world has been divided up.

He glanced at the handkerchief hanging upstairs, then looked down and noticed that the door downstairs was open.

"Xiao Lan, door 330 is open. I'll go get it for you!"

Let's go together.

Xiao Lan's voice had just fallen.

They heard slow, clattering footsteps behind them.

When Shiraishi Osamu and Ran turned around, they saw a cold-looking man wearing a black overcoat, a knitted hat, long black hair, and his hands in his pockets.

Ran's eyes widened as she recalled what Aunt Yukiko had said about the "highway demon"—a long-haired Sakura person from East Asia. Now, she was facing the person right in front of her.

The man pulled his right hand out of his pocket, revealing a small piece of metal.

pistol!

Xiao Lan spotted him immediately and clung tightly to Bai Shixiu's arm, wanting to shout, but she found that she couldn't move her mouth or legs. She could only watch with frightened eyes as the man slowly approached.

Suddenly her vision went dark.

The terrifying atmosphere vanished instantly, and a back appeared before me that wasn't very broad, but felt very safe.

Shiraishi Osamu stood in front of Ran, one hand behind his back, a playing card appearing in his palm.

He hadn't used the card-flying technique rewarded by the system yet, and now, within ten steps, he was confident that his cards would be faster than his opponent's.

In the short-range collision, he didn't believe he would lose, nor was he afraid of the man in front of him.

Chapter 0069: The Beginning of Fate

Five steps away.

Shuichi Akai stopped in his tracks, his cold gaze fixed on Osamu Shiraishi and Ran. He also noticed Shiraishi's hand behind his back, but didn't seem to care, saying calmly:
