Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 129: You owe me a life, and you can just return it to me in the future.

"Is the injury serious?" Lin Xiuyi took out a lighter and wanted to take a look at the wound.

"It's not that serious. I've already dealt with it briefly. You..."

When the purple-haired girl said this, they suddenly heard the bandit leader shout, "Qingchuan, are you still there?"

This shout immediately made the two of them nervous.

The bandit boss was holding a pistol, which was a powerful weapon even in dim conditions.

The purple-haired girl had been shot, and the attack on Lin Xiuyi just now had exhausted most of her strength.

If Lin Xiuyi was injured again, both of them would probably die here.

"Can you still move?" Lin Xiuyi asked in a low voice.

The purple-haired girl gritted her teeth and stood up, her body swaying. It was obvious that she couldn't walk far without someone to support her.

"You go first," she panted, leaning against the wall, "I'll find a place to hide."

With the help of the dim red light from above, Lin Xiuyi could see clearly that the purple-haired girl's face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her abdomen was wrapped in a piece of clothing that she had found from somewhere and was now soaked with blood.

"You won't be able to hold on for long like this," Lin Xiuyi frowned.

"If we go together, we'll just be overtaken by each other," the purple-haired girl urged. "Hurry up and leave! I don't want to owe you my life for nothing!"

As she spoke, she stuffed a red gem the size of a pigeon egg into Lin Xiuyi's hand.

"This is the gem that was lost from the jewelry store. Hand it over to the police and tell them that it wasn't stolen by the Phantom Thief Lady, but rather by someone hired by the jewelry store owner to steal it."

Are you hiring someone to steal in order to defraud insurance?

Lin Xiuyi thought and shook his head: "You found the ruby, so of course you have to hand it over to the police. I owe you a life, so why don't you return it to me in the future?"

"Hey, you..." The purple-haired girl suddenly became anxious.

At this time, footsteps were heard not far away in the passage. The bandit leader saw that his companions had not responded for a long time, so he came over to check.

Lin Xiuyi looked around, and finally his sight stopped at the wooden sculpture of the Tengu: "You hide behind that."

Although the space behind the Tengu wood carving is not large, it is more than enough to hide a purple-haired girl.

If she just hid at the back, once she was found by the bandit boss, it would be impossible for her to escape or fight back in the narrow space.

At this point, the purple-haired girl had no other choice but to hold on to the wall and walk towards the Tengu wooden sculpture.

Lin Xiuyi quickly took off his shirt, then tore off the bandit's short-sleeved shirt and put it on himself.

"You want to impersonate him?" The purple-haired girl frowned and whispered, "It's easy to be discovered!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure," Lin Xiuyi said, carrying the robber on the ground to a corner not far away, and hiding behind the statue, but deliberately leaving one hand exposed.

After that, he took out two firecracker cigarettes, lit them, and placed them next to the robber's brother.

After doing all this, Lin Xiuyi returned to the Tengu wooden sculpture, and the purple-haired girl had already hidden behind it.

Lin Xiu was lying face down in the middle of the aisle.

Time passed little by little, and a minute later, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the bandit leader came over.

"Qingchuan?"

The robber boss, holding a pistol, soon saw his younger brother lying on the ground.

"You're useless. You can't even take care of a wounded woman."

He quickly stepped forward and kicked the little brother on the ground.
"If you're not dead, get up and work!"

The younger brother didn't move, and the bandit leader frowned and was about to squat down to check the situation. At this moment, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the entrance of the passage not far away!
The noise sounded very much like gunshots. Without thinking, the bandit leader fired two shots in the direction of the sound!
"You stinky woman, don't think I don't know. You don't even have a gun on you. Hand over the ruby now, and I can spare your life!"

As he spoke, he stuck close to the wall of the passage and walked forward cautiously.

After taking only two steps, the bandit leader clearly saw a hand exposed next to the monster statue not far away!

"Bitch, I found you!"

As the bandit leader spoke, he pointed his gun at the monster statue and fired several shots in succession until there were no bullets left in the gun.

The bandit leader took out the empty magazine and was about to change the bullets when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

He lowered his head slightly and saw a dagger pointed at him.
"Qingchuan, you don't want to kill me and take the gem for yourself, do you? Without me, you won't be able to sell that ruby at all!"

"Really?" Lin Xiuyi chuckled. "It's a pity that I'm not your little brother. He should have been shot dead by you, right?"

"What did you say?" The bandit leader was stunned. "Who are you?"

"I..." Lin Xiuyi just opened his mouth to answer.

The bandit leader took the opportunity to push away his hand holding the dagger, then quickly turned around and wanted to attack the other party with the butt of the gun.

"Ultraman?" After seeing the person behind him clearly, the bandit leader was suddenly startled and his movements slowed down a bit.

Lin Xiuyi took the opportunity to slash the bandit leader's right hand, which was holding the empty gun.

"what!"

The bandit leader screamed and the empty gun fell to the ground.

Lin Xiuyi then hit him twice on the head with the handle of the knife.

The bandit leader could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Lin Xiuyi picked up the empty gun on the ground and searched the bandit leader for the remaining bullets. Then he took off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out a lighter and used the light to look at the appearance of the bandit leader. It was the middle-aged bald man who was bitten by Wangcai at the Orikasa Flower Shop this morning.

"Ah, blood! How can I…"

The panicked shouts of the bandit's younger brother were heard from the front.

Lin Xiuyi walked up and took a look. He found that this guy was lucky. Among the shots fired by the bandit leader, only one hit his shoulder, and the rest missed.

The younger brother, who was awakened by the pain, was covering his shoulder and howling in pain.

Lin Xiuyi became upset when he heard this and knocked him unconscious with the butt of his knife again.

After dealing with the two robbers, Lin Xiuyi walked back to the Tengu statue and said, "Lady Kaito, I have dealt with them. You can come out now."

"Phantom Thief Lady?"

I shouted twice, but there was no movement behind the statue.

Lin Xiuyi quickly looked over and discovered that the purple-haired girl had already fallen into a coma.

He quickly pulled the person out, then carried her on his back and ran out.

Nearing the exit of the haunted house, Lin Xiuyi heard the shrill sound of sirens.

He ran out quickly, and in front of him was a row of anti-riot police holding shields. Behind them, more than 20 fully armed police officers were pointing their guns at him.

At the same time, a voice familiar to Lin Xiuyi called out, "Don't move. Put your hands up... Hey, Lin Jun?"

"The three robbers are all in the haunted house. I've knocked them unconscious," Lin Xiuyi briefly explained the situation. "Officer Megure, call an ambulance! The girl behind me has been shot!"
