Kitahara Sosuke has known for a long time that Conan's thinking is extremely sharp and his reasoning speed is astonishingly fast. When you can't see his inner activities and just look at the time it takes for him to observe phenomena and draw conclusions, you will feel that this kid has just got the script.

The same, and even makes people feel a little scary.

In the plot, a case occurred on the highway. Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji, who temporarily changed back to their original state, took control of the situation in a very short time and accurately identified three suspects from a long queue of cars.

This is evident from the fact that the police officer, Miwako Sato, was so shocked that she became speechless.

But after personal experience, Kitahara Sosuke was still surprised: How long did it take after this kid came in? How did he come to this conclusion?

But he would not be as surprised as others and ask: "Why do you know? How did you find out?" and then give Conan a chance to show off his face with reasoning.

So after Kitahara Sosuke was silent for a moment, he smiled and said: "If I want to deal with others, I will naturally be attacked by others. It's no big deal." Seeing the little boy, what else to say, Kitahara Sosuke rubbed his head and said: "

Don't worry, I didn't do anything bad, this is a hero's medal."

"How can anyone say that he is a hero?" Conan pulled his hair wordlessly twice, looking slightly worried: "So you went to save people again, right?"

"That's right." Kitahara Sosuke said.

Conan wanted to persuade him to pay more attention to safety, but looking at Kitahara Sosuke's expression and knowing that he was not the kind of person who would be easily persuaded, he felt a little troubled for a moment.

Maybe it’s because Kitahara Sosuke witnessed his changes, or maybe it’s because he was rescued by this person several times, but Conan has always had an extraordinary feeling of being close and trusting towards him. Even though they didn’t meet many times,

But I still feel that "this is one of my own". Because of this, Conan just stood up directly after seeing Kitahara Sosuke, instead of observing the situation first.

"You..." After struggling for a while, Conan couldn't help but said: "If you keep interfering in such things, you will one day encounter fatal danger."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be stunned.

——Xiaolan also told him the same thing before, but he...

"You are the least qualified person to say such a thing, right?" Kitahara Sosuke flicked his forehead and said: "You know that there may be danger upstairs, but you ran in alone, what do you think?

Counterfeit (banknote) production is usually committed by gangs. Do you know how many people are in their gang? How many people are upstairs? Do you have a gun in your hand? If someone suddenly appeared from behind and hit you with a stick, you should

what to do?"

Conan was speechless.

Speaking of being reckless, they seem to really be in love with each other.

"Um... Conan, are you familiar with this big brother?" Ayumi asked timidly.

She still remembered that the last time the two of them met, Conan pointed a gun at him. Although it was later said that it was a misunderstanding... But this time he and Hehuhu seemed to have a good relationship. It was still strange, right?

"Well, this is Kitahara brother... his name is Kitahara Sosuke, he is a very good person and he is also my friend." Conan introduced.

"Hello, Brother Beihara, please give me your advice." Several children bowed politely and said.

"Well, hello." Kitahara Sosuke leaned over and said, "You should also remember the lesson this time. What if you encounter a few gunmen as soon as you come in? You are all children, almost

You have no power to protect yourself. So remember, don’t go to dangerous places or get close to dangerous people. Next time you find this situation, call the police immediately and hide in a safe place, you know?”

"Hi~" Ayumi and Mitsuhiko responded obediently.

"But we went to the police!" Yuantai said unconvinced: "Those policemen saw us as children and didn't take us seriously at all! They even laughed at us."

"That's right!" The other two children nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"The police didn't pay attention to your words. It's because they did something wrong, but you also have to understand." Kitahara Sosuke said seriously: "If it were you, if a few kindergarten children suddenly told you that there was a group of people next to the police station,

If bad guys are making counterfeit (money), will you immediately believe it?"

"This..." Mitsuhiko stepped in and thought about it, and said honestly: "Isn't it possible?"

"Misuhiko!" Genta said angrily.

"It's true!" Mitsuhiko explained: "Children sometimes regard the plots in TV series as real, or pretend to be bad guys in games. So those police just looked at us the same way, right?

"

"Yes." Kithara Sosuke said: "You are all children. When it comes to such serious issues, it is difficult to gain the trust of adults. At this time, don't just complain about why others don't believe your words, but consider what should be done.

How to convince him? If you had just fully stated the reasons why you suspected those people were making counterfeit (banknotes) and kidnapped people, or could have produced corresponding evidence, even if the police would not immediately believe it, they would not

Treat your words as a child's prank. Or, you can first find a reliable adult who can trust you to explain the situation, and then let him call the police. The police will generally believe it, and at least send someone to check.

do you understand?"

"Yes!" the three of them said in unison.

The psychological quality of the young detective team is extraordinary. Although they were scared and cried just now, as soon as the misunderstanding was resolved, they immediately became lively. Ayumi said with admiration: "Brother Kitahara, last time and this time, you

You are so awesome! Who are you?"

"Me?" Kitahara Sosuke looked at Conan who was thoughtful next to him, and he felt mischievous. He suddenly smiled and said: "Well, I am Conan's bodyguard!"

"What? Bodyguard?"

Mitsuhiko expressed doubts. If he was a bodyguard, how could he be tit-for-tat last time?

"Conan, it turns out you have such a powerful bodyguard!"

Yuantai expressed his envy.

"Did Conan-kun turn out to be a young master from a wealthy family? How cool!★"

Ayumi's eyes were filled with little stars.

"What! Don't listen to his nonsense!" Conan hurriedly explained, "Brother Beihara is just joking with you! He is a real young master from a rich family, not a bodyguard!"

"So that's it..." Ayumi was a little disappointed.

"That's right! If Conan's family was rich, they wouldn't stay with that bearded uncle's house!" Genta put his hands behind his head and looked at Conan sideways and said.

Mitsuhiko nodded silently.

A black line on Conan's forehead: Hey, hey, you guys, your attitude has changed too quickly, haven't you?

"Okay." Kitahara Sosuke said: "Conan, you just called the police, right?"

"Yes...ah, no." He glanced at the others and said cautiously: "I called Brother Shinichi, and then he reported it to the Megure Police Department."

"The police should be here soon." Kitahara Sosuke glanced at the tied up Silver Fox and his accomplices, and said, "I'll leave these guys to you, and we'll leave first."

"Huh? Why? Brother Kitahara, why don't you wait for the police to come?" Ayumi asked, raising her head.

"Well. I don't like taking notes, and it would be very troublesome if the police were like some little detective asking questions." Sosuke Kitahara said, "So can I ask you a favor?"

"What?"

"When you meet the police later, don't mention me. Just say that these guys were caught by your juvenile detective team."

"Ah?" Yuan Tai was a little reluctant: "Isn't this asking us to lie to the police?"

"Please." Kithara Sosuke said warmly, "Just think of it as doing me a favor."

"Oh, since you said that, there's nothing we can do about it." Yuantai blushed a little, scratched his head and looked away: "It's better if we don't mention it."

"I... Bumi won't say it either." Bumi clenched her fist and said, then turned to look at Haihara Ai: "Right, Haihara-san?"

Hui Yuarai turned her head and said softly: "It's up to you."

"But..." Mitsuhiko looked at the group of men in black on the ground, "Even if we can keep it secret, those people will tell the police, right?"

"Don't worry, they will be careful in their words and actions, right?" Kitahara Sosuke looked back at the few people with a very gentle smile.

Behind him, Matsuzaki Ginci looked down at the Silver Fox group, his eyes cold as if looking at the four of them, and his thumb gently rubbed the handle of the white sheath.

Yin Hu and others suddenly had cold sweat on their faces, they shrank back unconsciously, and said in a trembling voice: "Of course..."

"Very good, the problem is solved." Kitahara Sosuke said goodbye to everyone: "Then, goodbye."

The two turned around and left, Matsuzaki Ginji's windbreaker drawing a chic arc behind them.

Several children watched them leave, their eyes unconsciously blurred.

"I always feel... so cool..."

"Just like the agents in the TV series..."

"No, it's the killer!"

"What! It's Masked Superman!"

"No, no, no, I think Masked Superman is more powerful."

When several children were arguing about whether Masked Superman was better or the two of them just now, Conan suddenly shouted: "Ah! I almost forgot! The motorcycle that Brother Kitahara left with Dr. Agasa has been repaired! You guys

Wait here for the police to come, I’ll go out first!”

Before he finished speaking, Conan ran out quickly.

Hui Yuan Ai looked at his back quietly.

In addition, there are three pairs of dead fish eyes.

"I always think Conan is too much!"

"It's just that I know such a powerful big brother, but he has never told us..."

"That's too much!"

"But..." Mitsuhiko touched his chin and said, "I always feel like I have seen Brother Kitahara somewhere. Do you have any impressions?"

"Misuhiko, your memory is really bad! Didn't we meet O·ix last time when we were kidnapped?"

"No. It always feels like I'm somewhere else..."

At this moment, the sound of flushing came from the toilet. After a while, brother Junye opened the door and came out. Looking at a room full of children, he explained embarrassedly: "During the time when I was kidnapped by them, I didn't even go to the toilet."

Freedom. I have been holding it in for a long time, so..."

——No, no one asked you if this is okay?

A group of children looked at him speechlessly.

"elder brother!"

Junya finally regained his emotions and cried holding his brother who had been missing for several days.

…………………………………………

"Wait a minute, Brother Kitahara!"

Conan ran all the way and finally caught up with the two people who were about to get in the car.

"Conan?" Kithara Sosuke was a little surprised: "What is it?"

"Well..." Conan tugged at the corner of Kitahara Sosuke's clothes and said in a child's tone: "I have something to say to Kitahara-san alone, is that okay?"

Matsuzaki Ginci felt a little strange.

When he was in the room just now, the way this child spoke was sharp, even he felt an indescribable sense of oppression, and he was too mature to be like a child; but now he is too cute, with innocent eyes, with a bit of

The anxious tone made people think that the child might be a little younger than his appearance.

All in all, it's just...very divisive.

However, he was used to hiding his thoughts, and Conan didn't know that this man had so much on his mind. He always had an inexplicable self-confidence, and always thought that he was disguised well until he was exposed by others.

Kithara Sosuke nodded to Matsuzaki Ginci. Matsuzaki Ginci said: "I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Watching him walk into the convenience store, Kitahara Sosuke squatted down and asked: "So? What's the matter?"

"Kitahara..." Conan paused and said: "The motorcycle that Dr. Ali failed to modify last time has been repaired by someone. You can go over and take it away anytime!"

In order to repair the motorcycle, he not only spent his savings, but also shamelessly called his parents to ask for a sum of money. Originally, he had been saving money to buy Xiaolan a new mobile phone, but now he had to put it aside

This matter has been adjourned for the time being.

"Huh? Didn't you say you don't need it?" Kitahara Sosuke smiled and said, "Just leave it to the doctor as a toy, I have others."

"Don't say that." Conan said sternly: "Even if you can throw away millions of things, we can't just accept it. If we just squander your things just because you have money, then who will we be?"

Already?"

"Okay, okay, I'll pick up the car when I'm free in two days, okay?"

Kitahara Sosuke actually likes this principle of Conan and Dr. Agasa.

Conan nodded and suddenly fell into silence again.

"If it's just about motorcycles, there shouldn't be any need to pay Ginji-san, right?" Kitahara Sosuke asked, "What do you really want to say?"

The boy hesitated for a moment and asked: "Beiyuan, you went to Shuijingshi Restaurant some time ago, right?"

"What?" Kitahara Sosuke didn't expect this to be what he was going to say, so he said innocently: "Water Crystal Restaurant? Isn't it not open yet?"

How could he admit it? He took a lot of explosives away from that place. If Conan asked, he would have no way to explain it.

Conan couldn't see any trace of lying on his face, but...

"Some time ago, someone wanted to take revenge on Uncle Mori and attacked the people with numbers in their names in the order of playing cards. Both the Megure Police Department and Dr. Agasa were injured, and a man named Murakami was killed.

Already."

Conan briefly introduced Sawaki Fairy's case.

After Sawaki was arrested, he confessed his original criminal plan during the interrogation, and also told about poisoning Fei Yingri and adding mydriasis to the eye drops on Tsuji Hiroki's private plane. Therefore, the police contacted

Relevant people and so on.

They were very frightened after knowing the cause and effect. The broken eye drops were dug out from the trash can near the tarmac. The ingredients of the mydriatic agent were also detected, but they could not find the box that was said to be poisoned.

chocolates. In the end, it was discovered that Fei Yingli's mailbox had been opened by someone. It was speculated that the person who rescued Xu Shengyi also secretly took away the chocolates.

With this familiar style of doing things, Conan knew who it was without having to guess.

He said: "In fact, the prisoner originally planned to kill several people, and even wanted to blow up the Crystal Restaurant and kill all the people he resented in one go. However, he was suddenly stopped in the early stages of committing the crime. The person who stopped him

The person... feels very similar to you."

The little boy's clear eyes seemed to have seen the truth of everything.

Kithara Sosuke was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Isn't it a good thing that the crime was stopped? Does it matter who did it?"

"It's important, it's... very important to me." Conan said.

Kithara Sosuke looked at him deeply.

"No matter who that person is, I want to say thank you to him. If it weren't for him, many people would be hurt, including the most important person to me. So I... am really grateful.

"

For Conan, if someone saves him, although he will be grateful, he will not be greatly shocked by it. Because he himself often saves people or reveals the truth for the dead. He is used to seeing life and death.

It's not just once or twice that he encounters danger. This kind of thing is very common for him.

But if Mao Lilan is the one who is saved, Conan's perception will be completely different. Especially now, he can't even tell Xiaolan his true identity, let alone guard Xiaolan as Kudo Shinichi.

Seeing Xiaolan's expression of loneliness and sadness from time to time, Conan felt like a knife was twisting his heart. If Fei Yingli was also killed, he couldn't imagine how painful Xiaolan would be. So the "mysterious man" saved Fei Yingli, indirectly speaking, he saved Xiaolan.

Xiaolan was saved, which was a much more important favor to Conan than his own salvation.

"But..." Conan looked at Kitahara Sosuke, his eyes as bright as the morning sun: "I also want to tell that person - sometimes, there is only a thin line between good and evil, but once you cross it

, there is no turning back! So... So... No matter what the reason is - even if it is to save people, I definitely don't want my friends to choose criminal ways to achieve it! Even if it requires me to pay

Life, I also hope...I hope everyone can live under the sun!"

…………………………

Seeing that Conan had gone back to find his friends, Matsuzaki Ginci walked back and got into the driver's seat.

"Master Cangjie, is that kid not an ordinary person? Who is he?" He asked while starting the car.

"Didn't you say that? A detective." Kithara Sosuke leaned against the window with his chin in his hands, looking at the passing lights outside, and chuckled: "In every sense of the word."

The last words between him and Conan seemed to be echoing in his ears——

[Then...if someone around you becomes a criminal, such as Xiaolan, will you also arrest her? 】

[No... I am just a detective. I can neither arrest anyone nor punish anyone. The only thing I can do is to find out the truth... No matter who it is, no matter what the reason... I will do my best to find out the truth.
