I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

Chapter 77 Lan is in your hands

"Sorry, Lan, I have something urgent to deal with, and everyone, I'll have to excuse myself first." Nan Xiaoniao stood up hurriedly, put on her coat, and started walking without waiting for everyone to stand up and see her off.

"Shinichi?!" Ran, who was originally planning to be angry with Shinichi, stood up quickly when she saw Shinichi's hurried look and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Niao stopped, turned around and smiled: "It's okay, Inspector Megure and his team suddenly encountered a difficult case, so I..."

"Stupid case maniac..." Xiaolan sighed softly, "Be careful."

For some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart, as if this separation would be for a long time...

"Don't worry, Lan. I will be back. I will definitely be back before the movie starts, so could you please wait for me a little longer?"

"Well, be careful." Lan emphasized again and again, "It doesn't matter if you can't catch up."

After all, he had come back and stayed with her for a whole day. This was the longest period of companionship she had ever had in the past month.

She was already satisfied, and she was used to waiting.

"Ah, don't worry, Lan, I will be back soon!" said the boy, waving his hand and running downstairs.

She stared blankly at the boy's hasty figure disappearing in the neon lights. A pink and white petal floated over her nose, so she stretched out her hand and let the cherry blossom fall into her palm. "Oh, it was just now..."

This pink and white little creature seemed like a human-like elf. When Shinichi left, it circled around and floated back to her.

Cherry blossoms? The flower language is a long wait. Shinichi, I understand your feelings, so no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you.

"Sister Lan, ignore her, let's continue eating!" Sanye was also fascinated by what she saw, and quickly asked Xiaolan to sit down.

Sister Bird, you must be safe!

At this moment, the two girls are actually worried about the same person.

. . .

In the dim villa, the flames were like a savage monster, devouring everything around it.

The firelight flickered through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating distorted shadows on the walls, as if the jumping ghosts were warning of impending disaster.

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell, which was suffocating.

It's like hell.

"Conan, think of another way! I'm in a hurry!" Nan Xiaoniao was riding the Battle Locust with the accelerator turned to the bottom.

We bypassed the lush forest and rushed towards the hillside.

The shortest distance between two points is a line segment.

The situation is urgent now and there is no time to take the road.

"I can't think of anything. Ahem. The fire is too big, and the area around me is blocked. Uncle Maori and Inspector Megure are trapped in the hall, and I..."

He was trapped in a small, closed room with walls that were scorching hot and seemed like they could collapse at any moment.

"I just found a way to make Moriya Teiji confess his guilt, but..."

His heart was beating as fast as thunder, and in his ears was the sound of the crackling of flames mixed with the roar of burning wood.

Even if they tried to find an escape route, the door was sealed by fallen wood and the windows were engulfed by smoke and flames, with only a faint light coming through.

He lowered his head as he watched the increasingly thick smoke, the raging flames reflected in his glasses.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoniao, can I ask you one last favor...?"

"Don't be silly, I'll be back soon, so!!"

It’s too late already.

I can no longer breathe. Perhaps soon, I will turn into charcoal like the wood in front of me.

"Can you, accompany Ran? As Kudo Shinichi..."

"What are you talking about! Detective! Are you out of your mind?!"

"Ran's father is here, and I am here too. If Ran lost her father and Kudo Shinichi at the same time, wouldn't she be too pitiful?" Conan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Can I entrust her to you? Shinichi, brother..."

"Hey! Hey!! Conan!!"

The phone was disconnected, perhaps because the fire was too big, but perhaps it was that arrogant detective who hung up the phone.

"Damn it, your woman! Why don't you just keep her company!!!"

The fighting locusts rushed all the way, and in the distance, raging fire and thick smoke could be seen.

"Transformation!!!"

. . .

"Dong dong dong..."

"Conan!! Are you in there! Conan!!!!"

Conan opened his eyes: "Ah, am I hallucinating? I actually heard my uncle's voice."

A bloody black figure rushed in, breaking through the wooden door that was firmly blocked by several tons of beams.

"Conan!"

"Uncle! What's going on?!" In the firelight, the tall figure was so dazzling for the first time.

He was hugged tightly by the uncle: "You damned brat, I will never bring you to a place like this again!"

It’s called a complaint, but in fact, it’s more of a self-blame.

"Uncle..." Conan tried his best to regain his consciousness.

"Where are Inspector Megure and the others?"

"The fire is too big... Damn it, what, you mean Inspector Megure?"

"You're still worried about others after all this, you little brat. They had already exited safely, and they found that you were not outside."

"So, uncle, you..."

"Don't get me wrong. As your guardian, if anything happens to you, the Kudo family will probably tear my tendons and skin me alive."

Uncle...

Conan's eyes were moist. It turned out that the uncle had already escaped safely, but he still braved such a big fire to save me...

"Brat, there's no time to be impressed. Do you have any other magical props?!" Kogoro Mouri looked at the fire growing bigger and bigger around him.

Conan came to his senses and realized that they must escape together now.

Anesthetic needle, pass, football, the fire is too big, I can’t find the target at all, pass, strap, yes, retractable strap, if I can find the window I should be able to get down!

"Uncle, go towards the window!"

"It's easy for you to say, but where can I see the road?"

Dust rose up, thick black smoke was everywhere, and it seemed to be gathering in one place.

Window?! Oh, by the way, when I was looking for clues, I saw that the skylight on the third floor was open. In this case...

"Uncle! Go towards the direction of the smoke!"

"What, are you an idiot? If you do that, you will inhale too much poisonous gas and...wait, is that possible?"

"Yes, the smoke would only go up to the sky, but now it's going forward, so the window must be there!"

Why does the air flow outwards? Because the window is there. It's a very simple logic.

"Okay! You little student, stop looking so smug now. How are we going to get in with such thick smoke?" The fire was getting more and more fierce, the crackling sound was harsh and disturbing, there was no time to hesitate.

Maori gritted his teeth and said, "Conan, take a breath and hold it!!"

"Ok!"

There is no other choice but to force my way in!

Kogoro Mori stretched out his long legs and rushed towards the smoke.

He couldn't see the road at all, but he never stopped. The uncle is really courageous!

Good job, rushed through!!

"Uncle! Brake! Brake!!" Conan widened his eyes and looked at the big black wall that was getting closer and closer in front of him.

"Eh?!!" The uncle was holding Conan, and when he opened his eyes he saw a wall. He took emergency shelter in an instant, using his right arm to protect Conan in his arms, and then he bumped into the wall heavily.

"Uncle, uncle, are you okay?"

"Conan! You are lying, this is not a window, it's a wall!"

Conan was silent for a moment. Is it possible that uncle, you went too far?

"Look, there's the skylight."

"Oh, really." Maori Kogoro stood up with a grin, "Ah! I closed my eyes and accidentally rushed over."

What? So you rushed forward with your eyes closed? I even praised you for your courage.

Did he close his eyes out of fear?!

But, uncle, thank you so much.

"But how do we get up there? Anyway, Conan, you step on my shoulders first."

"Just use this retractable strap!" Conan leaped forward, stretched the strap, and hooked it onto the fixing nails of the skylight.

"Oh, it's a really useful invention." Uncle Maori said in amazement, "Conan, you go up first, come on."

Holding Conan, he let him climb to the roof using the straps.
