Chapter 41 Guardian Knight

Bando bit the suit with his teeth and pulled off a large piece of fabric to wrap the wound to prevent blood from flowing all over the floor.

In the accident just now, his head was also hit, and he was so groggy at the moment that he was running away almost by instinct. He had no time to think of anything, and only had one thought - he must not be caught!

If even he is caught, the Washumine Group will be doomed!

With this thought in mind, Bando threw down Inoue, the driver who risked his life to save him, and tried his best to escape. But in fact, a vague premonition in his heart told him that the Washiugamine Group... has really arrived now

The end! No matter how hard you struggle...

A figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Bando suddenly stopped and wiped the blood from his forehead. He looked up and saw that a hand had quietly reached into his arms and held the cold gun.

——It’s Matsuzaki Ginji!

Bando breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and just as he was about to step forward, his scalp suddenly became numb and his whole body trembled.

——It seems... something is wrong...

He looked at Matsuzaki Ginji in front of him in silence - his head half lowered, his body hidden in the shadows, his upper body slightly half-bowed, one foot in front, one foot behind, one hand holding a white sheath sword, and the other hand

It is to hold the handle of the knife empty.

This is the posture where he is ready to kill someone!

Bando had watched Matsuzaki Ginji face the enemy like this countless times. It can be said that the name "Evil-Slayer Ginji" spread under his gaze. But now... that person is facing the enemy in this posture.

The person... is yourself.

The not-so-bright moonlight casts large shadows between the containers.

Although the familiar figure remained motionless, there seemed to be a terrifying power surging within it.

A kind of power that...even if he holds a gun, he has no confidence to match.

"Ginji..." Bando's voice was very calm, "What are you doing here?"

Matsuzaki Ginji slowly raised his head.

Faced with Kithara Sosuke's accusation, he didn't know what to say; but faced with Bando's questioning, he also didn't know what to say.

He thought... I am such an incompetent and hypocritical man!

What flashed through my mind was a very ordinary scene from the past——

…………

He was selling masks and snacks. Washumine Yukio made an appointment with his classmates to visit the temple fair, fish for goldfish, play games, watch fireworks, and taste various snacks. At that time, the girl stood next to him and said with a very happy smile:

"so good!"

"What?" Matsuzaki Ginji asked blankly.

"I've been thinking that it would be great if the market could go on forever. Some people sing and perform, and some open shops and stalls..." The girl looked back at him with a pure smile: "...and Ginci-san is also there.

, I’m really happy!”

…………

"No matter where I go, I am not a good person. I can't tell what is right and what is wrong. But..." Facing Bando's questioning and murderous eyes, Matsuzaki Gin

Ci's eyes suddenly became sharp and firm: "...I am never wrong about what I want to protect!"

………………………………

"boom!"

Gunshots...

The sound of metal colliding...

And...the sound of flesh and blood being separated...

Kitahara Sosuke was not interested in listening to Bando's wailing before his death. He took off his earphones, deleted the monitoring on his phone, and said softly: "It's over."

There was silence around him, no one responded to him.

The current timeline should be considered spring, and it would get dark around six o'clock in the afternoon. It was eleven o'clock, and most people had already fallen asleep. There was no one else on the long street except him.

Kitahara Sosuke sat astride the motorcycle and looked up at the Nagato family's villa.

The Nagato Group claims to be a group that can keep pace with the Suzuki family - of course, this statement is somewhat flattering, but it is enough to prove the financial strength of the Nagato family. The tall and majestic villa can be seen across the long garden.

Seeing that it was just a place for a few people to live, the size of the villa looked like it could easily accommodate hundreds of people.

Kitahara Sosuke hung his helmet next to the front of the car and leaned against it boredly.

card:……

Fever! Warming up! Countdown to zoom in!

Kitahara Sosuke took out the card, looked at the black numbers that were at least three times larger than before, and said helplessly: "Hey, card, how can you show me some understanding of the world! The Nagato family is not an ordinary place. It's for no reason.

,How can I just break in?"

card:……

After a few seconds, a big [?] slowly appeared above.

"I recalled the plot. The prisoner was a young lady who wanted to die after avenging her parents. She was kind-hearted and would not hurt innocent people. What's more, there were Heiji Hattori and Ran Maori beside her... Conan is here

There should be no danger here."

Kitahara Sosuke looked at the bright or dark windows in the villa, paused, and continued: "So the only thing that will bring him life-threatening... should be the fact that the prisoner is preparing to light a fire to commit suicide. With Conan's character,

He would definitely rush into the sea of ​​​​fire to save people, but if it was too late to escape... That lady was not a man disguised as a woman, so she probably wouldn't have enough strength to throw him out of the sea of ​​​​fire. And given the height of the villa,

If you jump out of the window to escape, you will probably fall to your death, am I right?"

A similar scene should have happened on Moon Shadow Island. After the fire broke out, Conan discovered that the prisoner wanted to commit suicide. He rushed into the fire with the music score left by Keiji Aso, trying to persuade Aso to continue living well. But by that time, it was already

Aso Minoru, who had killed several people, was already determined to die. He believed that his hands were stained with blood and he was not qualified to embrace a better tomorrow. He picked up Conan and threw him out of the burning room. After all, he was a man and had great strength.

It was enough for Conan's small body to break through the glass and fly away, and finally landed safely.

That incident left a lasting regret in Conan's heart, and also made him consider the prisoner's own thoughts when solving cases in the future.

But now, the plot of Moon Shadow Island has been disrupted by Kitahara Sosuke. Conan lacks this baptism and may not be able to realize the prisoner's intention to commit suicide in time.

Card: [...it's true]

"So, I can wait until there is a fire before rescuing people. This is only reasonable. You don't want me to cause trouble for future missions after I finish this mission because of 'breaking into a house privately' or 'predicting the unknown' or something like that."

More obstacles, right?”

The card seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. After a moment, a new line of text appeared on it: [Go 213 meters along the current route, you can directly see the burning window, and it is the best rescue route]

"Thank you!" Kitahara Sosuke smiled. It wasn't far anyway, so he locked the car and walked over.

[You still have 17 minutes and 39 seconds]

"I got it." Kitahara Sosuke's pace was still neither fast nor slow: "By the way, you mentioned before that you can comprehensively analyze and calculate the information of all things, right? Isn't that the same as omniscience?"

The card didn't respond. I don't know if he was too lazy to repeat it or just didn't want to pay attention to him.

"For future missions, you can do the same as this time, don't be vague and give me more specific information, okay?" Kitahara Sosuke discussed: "After all, our purpose is the same. But no matter what we do,

How to carefully maintain the plot? The world will always gradually deviate from its original trajectory because of my existence, just like this mission. And last time, if you could tell me in advance that a murder would occur nearby, I would change it.

Even if I walk on the road, I won’t almost fail the mission. So if I have more detailed information to assist me, I can better ensure the safety of the Son of Destiny, right?”

Not only the mission, if the card can provide him with detailed information when dealing with the Jiugong Group this time, many things will become much easier.

【Can be considered】

Kithara Sosuke was delighted: "Besides the mission..."

[One piece of information, one free point]

"A black shop, you?!"

[Every word delivered to you requires energy]

——No wonder this guy is so concise and to the point. If he can avoid talking nonsense, he will never talk nonsense.

"Then...can I exchange points with you for the identity and location of the boss of the black organization?"

No response from the card.

Does this...do you mean it's not possible?

That’s right! Using a free point to exchange the identity of the most mysterious person in Mingke... This idea is probably a bit unrealistic.

If Conan, the protagonist in Ming Ke, has an aura, the boss of the black organization, who is his biggest enemy, will also have an aura. To a certain extent, powerful villains are actually as blessed by the will of the world as the protagonist, and there are "except

Laws such as "No one in the protagonist can defeat me".

Kithara Sosuke murmured in his mind with great imagination and put the card away.

Although it is not cost-effective to exchange points for information, if it is really necessary, this can be considered a method.

He put his hands in his pockets and strolled to the place designated by the card. He unexpectedly discovered that there was a 24-hour convenience store nearby. Next to it, there was a decadent-looking man with thick eyebrows smoking, and the sparks from the cigarette butt flashed.

A flash.

When the man with thick eyebrows saw Kitahara Sosuke, he subconsciously turned around and walked downwind, holding a cigarette in his mouth and squinting at him: "Students are up so late, why are they wandering around outside?"

His expression was fierce, and his tone sounded more like a gangster looking for trouble.

Kitahara Sosuke took a look at his long dark trench coat and fierce expression, and asked: "Mr. Detective, why are you wandering around outside so late at night?"

The man with thick eyebrows raised his eyebrows and asked: "How do you know I am a policeman?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Kitahara Sosuke said casually. He walked into the convenience store and looked at the various goods on the counter. He subconsciously reached for a cigarette. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, picked up an orange-flavored lollipop, and asked the store owner: "

how much is this?"

The thick-browed detective had already noticed Kitahara Sosuke's original intention, and said in the tone of a dean: "Students, at such a young age, smoking is not a good habit."

"I'm sorry, but someone with a cigarette in his mouth has no right to say that to me, right?" Kitahara Sosuke handed the coin to the shopkeeper, removed the candy wrapper, stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, and said vaguely: "And

I have graduated and am not a student. What’s more, I have quit smoking now.”

The thick-browed detective looked at him suspiciously.

At this moment, the card in Kitahara Sosuke's arms suddenly became hot!

At the same time, an orange-red firelight was reflected in a certain window of the villa!

"Hey, what's going on?" The middle-aged shop owner facing the villa pointed in that direction and exclaimed.

The thick-browed detective was shocked when he saw it: "Is it on fire?"

He was about to run over immediately, but suddenly a strong wind seemed to blow around him!

Turning around, he saw that the young man in black ran over like a gust of wind, easily jumped over the one-meter-high iron railing, rushed to the downstairs of the villa in the blink of an eye, and climbed up as if he were walking on flat ground!

"This..." The thick-browed detective opened his mouth in shock. The cigarette fell from his mouth without noticing it, and he murmured: "Who is this guy?"

………………………………

Ten minutes ago, Nagato Villa.

The murder plan, motive and evidence were all revealed by the two detectives. The murderer Hinata Sachi knocked over the hot water bottle on the table and poured a large amount of gasoline around her. She took out a lighter and lit it, trembling with fear as she resolutely

He raised the lighter to everyone and shouted: "Don't come over! I'm serious!"

Everyone was shocked. Amidst the pungent smell of gasoline, the beating flames looked like bombs that could explode at any time. Even if they didn't care about their own life or death,... Hinata Sachi himself had also been sprinkled with a little gasoline. One

Inadvertently, first of all, she herself will not be spared!

Hinata Sachi cried with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Detective is right, I...I can't forgive Guangming, who burned my parents to death and still lived openly, and Hideomi, who has always acquiesced in the whole thing. But...but I...

…”

She sobbed: "I love him! I love him hopelessly!"

Thinking of how Nagato Hidetomi was burned and bruised twenty years ago while trying to save her, Hinata Sachi burst into tears.

"I love the person who saved my life... I love the person who continued to encourage me after I was sent to an orphanage due to unknown identity... I also love the person who accepted my proposal..."

Everyone felt pity, even if she was the murderer of Nagato Guangming, they couldn't really hate her.

"But Xiuchen is no longer here, and I'm still alone..." Her eyes gradually became vacant, and she said softly: "I, I must get to him quickly!"

"Ah, no!" Mao Lilan realized something and shouted hurriedly.

But Hinata Yuki shook his hand and threw the lighter to the ground, and the flames instantly started!

She subconsciously took two steps back, but the flames did not immediately reach her body. Across the wall of orange-red fire, the girl's face looked even more unreal in the distorted heat.

She first retreated to the window unconsciously, and then, step by step, tentatively walked towards the rapidly spreading flames. What she was thinking about was her parents who were swallowed up by this demonic fire, and Nagato Hideomi who was burned by the fire.

Burnt face.

scared.

But...when she thought about not having to suffer so much after death, she felt very relaxed.

The shouts of those around her were chaotic, but she didn’t want to listen anymore…

"Don't do this! Hinata!" Chairman Nagato shouted.

Mao Lilan cried: "Please! Don't die!"

"Calm down!! It's not to this extent!" Officer Higurashi stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Run away! It's on fire!" The eldest lady, who was always arrogant, ran out crying and shouting.

"Water! Where is the water!" Hattori Heiji was also shouting.

Conan found a thick blanket, covered himself with it and rushed forward!

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound, and the window suddenly burst open! Countless broken glass scattered in all directions!
