Ahead of them, the three little ones had already spotted someone. Genta rushed over without hesitation, then ran back in terror, shouting, "There...there's a corpse!"

The bank robbers who were disposing of the body inside immediately pulled out their guns.

"Come back quickly!"

Conan arrived shortly after, just as the armed robber saw him.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, its sound echoing through the cave. Conan, his scalp tingling with fear, looked at the brief sparks left by the bullet striking the rock wall.

"be careful."

Yusuke Suzuki put Conan down and then squatted down himself.

"That was close..."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Suzuki Yusuke pulled him back in time, otherwise he would have definitely been shot!

Just as he was about to thank him, Yusuke Suzuki gestured for silence and waved to the three terrified children.

"What's wrong!?"

"It was a few kids who saw us."

"What's going on! Didn't their parents come along?"

"No, I didn't see any adults."

While the bank robbers were talking, Yusuke Suzuki gathered the children together and whispered, "They have guns, definitely more than one. The road we came from is too open, so they'll almost certainly hit us when they shoot. We need to find another way out."

His gaze swept seriously across each child's eyes. "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Be careful not to make too much noise, understand?"

Seeing the children nodding rapidly, Yusuke Suzuki held his breath and began to discern the speaker's voice.

"What will you do with those brats after you find them?"

"Are you an idiot? Of course, we should tell them to lie in this dark hole forever and never get up again."

"Enough with the nonsense, go and look for the entrance. I'll stay here and see what happens."

Are there only three people?

Yusuke Suzuki had just heard the sound of bullets being chambered. Assuming each person had a gun, they would have to split up now. They only mentioned "four brats" in their conversation, so it seemed they hadn't noticed him.

That makes things much easier.

After the three men dispersed, Suzuki Yusuke whispered a few instructions, then hid behind a rock, ready to strike.

After Conan led Genta and the others a little further away, he deliberately made some noise.

Sure enough, the guy who stayed behind sneered and followed after hearing this, only to be grabbed by the neck from behind by Yusuke Suzuki.

"You..." The robber panicked and struggled, but the feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger. He had the pistol in his pocket and couldn't take it out at all.

Soon after, the robber stopped struggling. Suzuki Yusuke gently laid him flat and pulled out a pistol.

"Brother Yusuke...did you kill him?" Genta asked nervously as he returned.

“He just passed out,” Yusuke Suzuki said, expertly checking his pistol and reloading it after confirming the number of bullets. “The other two are, one at the entrance and the other further inside.”

He pried open the fallen man's eyelids to make sure he was really unconscious, and then said, "I'll put this man where he was just now, and then I'll go to the entrance. You guys stay away from me and follow behind."

"Remember, if I don't come back, hurry back here and find a place to hide. With Conan here, he'll definitely be able to lead you to another way out."

Conan stared blankly at Suzuki Yusuke. This guy was actually quite reliable, but... he recalled how familiar Suzuki Yusuke was with firearms just now, he was definitely a master gunman.

Why would a recent college graduate, who is also the son of a wealthy family in the Suzuki Group, be so familiar with guns?

If Yusuke Suzuki knew what Conan was thinking, he would definitely yell at him, "Aren't you very familiar with guns yourself?! How dare you doubt me!"

We both came from the Hawaii training base, don't you know what I'm capable of?

A few minutes later, Suzuki Yusuke saw the light at the entrance. A figure was peering out of the cave, holding a gun in his right hand. The person quickly retreated but remained in the shadows behind the cave entrance, presumably planning to ambush someone.

Unfortunately, he couldn't kill directly. Whether considering Conan or the other three children, Suzuki Yusuke shouldn't have done such a thing.

He didn't want to go from being the friendly older brother next door to a potentially dangerous killer, even though he already was. But it would be better if he could continue wearing that disguise.

The creature at the cave entrance wasn't very alert, and the sky outside quickly darkened. Suzuki Yusuke slowly approached.

"Doctor, look, these are the firewood they collected."

Ai-chan! ?

Suddenly, Ai Haibara's voice came from outside the cave entrance, and the person hiding at the entrance rushed out immediately.

"boom!"

Without a second thought, Suzuki Yusuke fired a shot at the back of the man's head. Coincidentally, the man had just crouched down before leaving the cave, dodging the bullet and darting away.

Fuck you!

There were only Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara outside; they had absolutely no way to fight back against that guy.

Yusuke Suzuki followed like a mad dog, leaning against the edge of the cave entrance and glancing outside.

As soon as he peeked out, the other party fired directly in his direction, the bullets sparking against the stone wall.

"Come out! Otherwise, I'll kill one first! I think this old man will do!"

"Wait!" Suzuki Yusuke didn't have time to think of a solution and hurriedly said, "Let them leave, and I'll throw out the gun. You can do whatever you want with it."

"You're trying to negotiate with me? If you don't want any of them to die first, get out here right now!"

"No! Yusuke-nii!"

"Yusuke, don't come out!"

"You brat, you better behave yourself!"

Yusuke Suzuki tried to calm his breathing, recalling the man's position when he fired the shot. He decided to take a gamble: if the man didn't move, he would shoot him dead; if he changed positions... well, he'd have to see how he reacted!

Chapter 58 This time, Suzuki Yusuke was truly angry.

After confirming that his hands weren't shaking, Suzuki Yusuke suddenly pushed off the ground and pulled himself out of the hole. However, he miscalculated, as the robber actually picked up Haibara Ai and used her as a shield.

“Heh,” the man sneered, revealing a fierce eye from behind Ai Haibara, “I could tell from the way you shot me before that you’re a very good shot.”

"Looks like you care about this kid a lot."

Out of the corner of his eye, Yusuke Suzuki saw Professor Agasa clutching his leg and lying to the side, probably knocked down by this guy.

“I’ve already taken care of all your accomplices,” Yusuke Suzuki said, trying to keep his tone from being intimidating. “By the way, I’ll also tell you something: I’m the son of the Suzuki Group. Name your price, and as long as you release them, I won’t pursue the matter further.”

"You think I'd believe you? You're too naive. Now, put the gun down right now!"

Yusuke Suzuki slowly squatted down. "Think it over first. I've already sent those four children out through another exit. They'll call the police when they get back to the camp, and their parents will come looking for us. Are you sure you want to kill so many people and then get locked down and arrested by the police?"

"If you release us now, I will give you a large sum of money, enough for you to live a carefree and comfortable life for most of your life. As long as you agree, I will arrange for someone to transfer the money immediately."

"Don't be so arrogant, you bastard!" The robber suddenly became agitated, pointing his gun at Ai Haibara's temple. "Fine, you haughty young master, now, shoot yourself in the left leg! Immediately!"

"No, Yusuke-nii!"

Seeing Suzuki Yusuke about to pull the trigger on her thigh almost without hesitation, Haibara Ai screamed in anguish, tears streaming down her face.

A crisp gunshot rang out, and blood gushed from Suzuki Yusuke's left leg, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat.

"Wow, not hesitating at all. I mean, this girl doesn't even look like you."

After chuckling mockingly a few times, the robber said, seemingly unsatisfied, "Next, shoot...your right hand..."

Before he could finish speaking, a tiny needle pierced his back.

Conan!?

Just as Suzuki Yusuke was about to take advantage of the opportunity to feign unbearable pain and collapse to shoot the robber, he was slightly taken aback. This guy really likes to time things perfectly.

If he had arrived any later, he would have fired.

"Brother Yusuke, are you alright?"

After subduing the robber, Conan rushed over.

"They arrived just in time."

Yusuke Suzuki emphasized the word "timely," but the trembling in his voice due to pain prevented Conan from catching the underlying meaning.

At that moment, Ai Haibara pulled Conan away and threw herself into Yusuke Suzuki's arms, crying out, "Idiot...you big idiot! Why did you shoot yourself?!"

Yusuke Suzuki's shirt collar was quickly soaked. He paused for a moment, then gently stroked Ai Haibara's head and smiled, "Don't cry. I'm fine. I deliberately chose the angle when I fired. It's just a minor penetrating wound."

No matter how he explained, Ai Haibara kept punching his chest and calling him an idiot.

Two hours later, Inspector Megure arrived with his team and arrested all three robbers. Suzuki Yusuke's wound was also not as serious after being bandaged by Haibara Ai.

"Yusuke, you should go and rest."

Professor Agasa gently pulled Yusuke Suzuki away from the earthen stove, saying with concern, "Ai can cook too."

Seeing the unyielding expressions on Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara's faces, Yusuke Suzuki had no choice but to lie down obediently to the side.

Actually, he's mostly fine now, since his body has been enhanced.

"Doctor, are you sure you're alright?"

Conan looked at Professor Agasa speechlessly. He was injured himself, yet he was still running around. He sat down next to Yusuke Suzuki. "Why didn't you go to the hospital?"

"It's fine to go tomorrow, but I want to experience camping in its entirety."

Conan: "..."

Come to think of it, it seems like every time I go camping... impossible, I'm definitely overthinking it! It's just a coincidence, nothing more than a coincidence!

The three little ones sat together, their faces full of apologies.

“It’s all my fault. I told you that coming in for a bit wouldn’t hurt,” Ayumi cried, blaming herself. “If we hadn’t gone in, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“No! This can’t be blamed on you alone,” Mitsuhiko immediately took the blame as well. “To be honest, it was my discovery of that cave that caused everyone’s trouble.”

"Please! I'm the one who should be blamed. If I hadn't gotten carried away, I wouldn't have seen those bad guys carrying the corpse. It's all my fault."

“Genta,” Conan comforted, “it’s all thanks to the three of you that we were able to solve a murder case that seemed impossible to crack.”

"But, what about Yusuke-nii, the professor, and Ai-chan...?"
