Conan: Starting out by living with a divorced older sister

"Shinichi, what have you been busy with recently? It's been so long, and I finally see you in person! I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound. You don't know, I always thought that something happened to you. I had a vague feeling that I would never see you again in the future, but now I feel relieved!"

Shinichi was in deep pain, thinking: Yes, if there is no temporary antidote, and if a permanent antidote cannot be developed in the future, then we will never meet again in this life. At least we can't meet as Shinichi.

"Don't worry, I'm just dealing with some tough cases. You know, my dream is to be a detective. Now that I'm a little famous, clients always come to me, so I've been traveling all over the world. But don't worry, I'll call you from time to time."

"Hmm, hehe~"

"why are you laughing?"

"I suddenly thought of the past. You always stole your father's gold card and took me out for a big meal, and then got scolded by your parents when you got home."

"Tsk! How dare you say that? We always eat delicious food together, but I am the only one who gets scolded."

Shinichi thought: Actually, they did it on purpose, otherwise how could I get the gold card every time? They were indirectly supporting me in pursuing you, but I actually lost you. If I had... If I had... Never mind, there's no going back...

As they chatted, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Shinichi knew what Xiaolan wanted to say, but Xiaolan didn't want to say it directly, fearing that it would hurt Shinichi's feelings, so she tried to lay the groundwork as much as possible in the beginning.

At this moment, Xiaolan had to say: "Shinichi, actually I want to say..."

"Ah! Murder!"

A voice from the door interrupted what Xiaolan was about to say.

When Xiaolan was about to say something else, she found that Shinichi was absent-minded, looking straight towards the door.

As a childhood sweetheart, how could Xiaolan not understand Shinichi?

The kind of persistence that makes you want to get involved once you encounter a case, and won't stop until the murderer is caught.

He knew that Shinichi's heart was no longer here. Besides, if he finished speaking, it might affect his reasoning ability, so there was no rush.

He said softly, "Okay, go ahead! What I want to talk about are all trivial matters. Wait until you come back after solving the case."

"Xiaolan..." Shinichi was a little unbelievable, because in their previous interactions, she had always complained that he only had cases in his eyes and only talked about Sherlock Holmes.

At this time, she supported him to participate in the case. Even in the conversation just now, he knew that Xiaolan actually remembered every word he said about Sherlock Holmes.

I shook my head vigorously and thought: If I didn’t have you, living alone until the end of my life would actually be a good choice. . .

"Then wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"

"Yeah, go ahead. I'll stay here and look at the night view outside the window. It's beautiful!"

At the same time, a scream was heard outside, which also woke up Sakurako who had closed her eyes. She suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Murong Zhen who was so close to her, and gently placed her hands on Murong Zhen's chest.

She said softly, "Ah...Ah Zhen, no matter how I feel about Mr. Ohba, I am still her girlfriend after all, so we can't..."

Her hands were limp, which also reflected her complicated mood.

If she didn't want to, she would never let Murong Zhen get so close to her. She wouldn't even close her eyes just now. She wouldn't just gently push against Murong Zhen, but would push him away fiercely. She might even slap him in the face.

But she didn't do any of that! This shows that her subconscious mind can accept it, but because of ethics, she kept her bottom line.

Murong Zhen was not angry, nor did he feel regretful. Instead, he was happy that he had met a good woman!

Murong Zhen chose to respect, because going against a woman's wishes was the last thing he would and could ever do.

Murong Zhen turned back to his seat and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Yingzi, I was rude just now!"

Sakurako felt relieved, but also felt a little lost.

Murong Zhen's apology made her even more embarrassed. All these circumstances combined made her feel an unexplainable pain in her heart!

"Ouch!" Sakurako covered her heart.

Seeing her serious expression and frown, Murong Zhen asked with concern: "Yingzi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Just as he was about to reach out to check, Yingzi suddenly returned to normal and said, "Ah Zhen, I'm fine. I just had a pain in my chest a little while ago. It's fine now, but I feel empty inside. It's like I lost something precious."

"By the way, A-Zhen, was there a commotion outside just now? Oh, it's already past 8:30, can you accompany me to take a look? I feel like something has happened."

When the two arrived, the company's dedicated elevator door was open and a cordon was set up around it. The police were investigating the scene and questioning relevant personnel.

This time, the team was led by Inspector Megure, and Inspector Shiratori was interrogating the captured criminal, Teiji Moriya, at the police station.

Shinichi, who arrived at the scene, also participated in the case with Inspector Megure's permission.

Sakurako looked at the man lying on the ground in the elevator with a gunshot wound in the heart, and rushed over like a madman, crying bitterly on his body, her tears falling like beads from a broken string.

"Dad~ wake up, Dad~", there are too many words that cannot be expressed and can only be released through wailing.

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!

Because the incident happened suddenly, the police officers did not stop Sakurako. Later, they found out that she was the daughter of the deceased and felt the same way, so they did not stop her either.

Murong Zhen also followed. After the police officers saw that it was him, they pretended not to see anything and remained indifferent.

Ohba Satoru, who was watching from the side and was the company's director and also Sakurako's boyfriend, also wanted to step forward to comfort the crying Sakurako, but was stopped by the police!

"Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter the crime scene!"

Ohba Satoru said unconvincedly: "Then how can they do it?"

"The shorter young man is called Kudo Shinichi and is a famous detective. The taller and more handsome one is also a famous detective."

"Aren't they both detectives? What's the difference? Why don't you just say two detectives?"

"Oh, right, why didn't I say there were two detectives? Hey, tell him why?" the police staff member asked another staff member next to him.

“Have you read Lu Xun?”

"No... Who is Lu Xun? Does it have anything to do with this?" said Ohba Satoru.

"Lu Xun once said: There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree. Can you guess why he said that?"

"How should I know?!" Ohba Satoru was about to be driven crazy by this policeman.

"That's right, how should I know? You're the only one asking a lot of questions, so just stand aside and listen carefully! Why are you moving forward?"

"The woman crying so sadly is my girlfriend, and the one who died is my future father-in-law. I want to go in and comfort her."

"You also said that he is your future father-in-law. Who can tell what will happen in the future? I think the man next to the woman is more handsome than you and a better match."

"You..." Ohba Satoru felt like he was going to vomit blood because of these two policemen who were playing a double act, but he still endured it because he was confident that everything was under control!

The eldest daughter is his, the company is his, the position of president is his, including the president's position.

Until Murong Zhen said something that directly shattered all his fantasies:

"Sakurako, your father is still alive!"

Chapter 342

Murong Zhen's voice was not loud, but it was powerful and the whole place fell into dead silence.

Sakurako stared into Murong Zhen's eyes, trying to see clearly whether what he said was true or false. If what he said was false, then he was making a joke of her deceased beloved father, which would be really hard to forgive; if what he said was true, then she was willing to give everything she had, because she grew up in a single-parent family, and although her father was strict, he was her closest and only relative.

She saw it, saw the desperate attempt, the desperate struggle, the all-out effort, as well as the faint affection for her.

"Ah Zhen, I believe you! What should I do?"

"Get out and don't let anyone disturb me. The ambulance is on standby."

As he finished speaking, Inspector Megure had already made the arrangements.

Kudo Shinichi was also slightly stunned, but then he thought of the many impossibilities he had created, and felt relieved.

He immediately turned his head to the people in the company who might be the murderer, especially Ohba Satoru.

And he caught Ohba Satoru's momentary panic.

Now, he was very sure that the murderer was this man, and all he had to do now was to find evidence of his crime.

Instead of waiting for Murong Zhen to revive the injured and find out who the murderer is from the injured!

So, Kudo Shinichi began a more detailed investigation and also asked the relevant personnel for their alibis again.

Actually, Murong Zhen is not a great immortal. Although he knows the [Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Needle], which is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, it cannot really bring the dead back to life. It can only bring the dying back from the gates of hell.

At this time, Sakurako's father, Taiji Tatsumi, who was lying on the ground, was not dead, but was in a state of suspended animation due to excessive blood loss. The forensic personnel did not notice it and mistakenly judged him dead.

The reason why he survived the bullet wound in the heart was that he was different from ordinary people, his heart was on the right side. So he just lost too much blood, and he didn't know that it had been so long. If he didn't get effective treatment, he would really die.

Murong Zhen knew that saving him would be very costly, but he also didn't want Sakurako to lose her only relative in the world.

As for Sakurako's final destination, it was already destined from the day they met. And just now in the private room, perhaps she herself didn't even know that she already had this man in her heart.

Without saying much, Murong Zhen laid the victim flat, took out a scalpel at the speed of light, cut open his clothes, and then took them back. The speed was so fast that people who were watching here thought he cut open the clothes with his fingers. And he only cut open the clothes, and there was no trace of injury on the victim's skin.

This method added some credibility to the bold words that Murong Zhen had just made.

At this time, Ohba Satoru was already thinking about how to disrupt Murong Zhen's treatment, but the two policemen beside him seemed to be against him. They stood in front of him and prevented him from getting any closer.

Afterwards, Murong Zhen performed acupuncture at lightning speed and inserted a silver needle into several major acupoints of the injured person. The functions of these silver needles included stopping bleeding, protecting the heart meridian, and stimulating his vitality and awakening the various organs of the body that had slowly stopped working.

Finally, the needle is moved with Qi, and precise control is required. It cannot be too hard or too gentle, and controlling this degree requires a lot of energy.

Yingzi, who was standing by, looked at her pale father, and his face became more vibrant. In contrast, Murong Zhen's originally healthy and rosy face became even paler, and sweat was pouring down his forehead and temples. It was obvious how much this treatment had consumed him.

From Yingzi's perspective, the scene at this time was like Murong Zhen instilling vitality into his father, and this behavior moved her deeply. Murong Zhen's image became taller and more profound.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Murong Zhen's manipulation of the silver needles became faster and his expression became more tired, but it seemed as if he was making his last effort. Although the people present did not understand, they could see that this was the critical moment of the treatment.

Ohba Satoru, who was standing by, knew that he must not be allowed to succeed, and he could not care less at this moment.

He drew out the knife hidden on his body and stabbed Murong Zhen, shouting loud slogans full of righteousness, saying:

"You quack, stop desecrating the body of my future father-in-law!"

At this time, because everyone's attention was on Murong Zhen, they all wanted to witness this miracle with their own eyes, so Ohba Satoru took advantage of the opportunity.

Seeing that he was about to stab Murong Zhen, Yingzi couldn't understand why he did this, and her first thought was to stop him, even if it meant using her body to block the sharp knife that was stabbing Murong Zhen. However, her previous crying and squatting made her legs numb, and she couldn't stand up at all. What made her desperate was that she could do nothing but watch.

She was thinking that she might lose two of her loved ones at once. Her feelings for Murong Zhen became clearer and clearer in the test of life and death.

However, before we even have the chance to express our feelings, we may be separated from each other forever. This is the most painful thing in the world.

At this time, Ohba Satoru felt that he had won the victory. He did not really want to kill Murong Zhen, but just wanted to stop him from treating him. As long as Tatsumi Taiji could not be saved, there would be no evidence to convict him of murder, and he would only need to bear the crime of injury.

Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny. Just when he was about to win, his knife-holding hand seemed to be clamped by a pair of pliers, unable to move forward even a little bit.

As soon as he turned his head and saw clearly that the person who grabbed his wrist was Kudo Shinichi, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and he let go of the knife.

Then the huge body was pulled towards him by Kudo Shinichi, and "bang!" a punch hit his abdomen, causing Ohba Satoru to bend his body and spit out a mouthful of acid.

However, it was not over yet, because his wrist was clamped firmly, and his body flying backwards was pulled back again, and he was hit with another heavy punch.

This was repeated three times, and after being pulled back for the last time, Kudo Shinichi loosened his grip on him and used a mountain-supporting kick. The moment the kick made contact, Ooba Satoru flew out, hit the wall hard, and then slid to the ground.
