Si Xuanyu didn't care much about the FBI's movements. After she told Sawada Hiroki to warn Akai Shuichi, she didn't ask any more questions. Sawada Hiroki also thought it was a trivial matter, so after finishing it, he continued to do work related to "cocoon".

Mao Lilan washed her hair and took a shower carefully. In the middle of the shower, she suddenly had a thought that her hair might have been tampered with. She couldn't help but feel every inch of her hair. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she gave up the idea of ​​shaving her hair.

After changing her clothes, Ran Mouri put all the equipment she wore for her meeting with Shuichi Akai today into a garbage bag with a look of disgust on her face and threw it into the garbage dump on the street.

It was not until Mao Li Ran, who had made herself feel refreshed, went up to the rooftop again and looked up the Shan Hai Jing to confirm that there was nothing strange on her body that she finally relaxed.

Seeing this, Si Xuanyu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Xiao Lan, you really don't have to be like this... Forget it, I'll ask Hongshu to get you a portable signal jammer later. Even if there are any eavesdropping devices in the future, there will be no way to transmit your information."

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded rapidly: "Okay! Okay! Thank you so much!"

However, Mao Lilan restrained her smile and said, "Then my phone won't work either, right?"

Sawada Hiroki waved his hand and said, "It's okay! I'll just install an anti-shielding device on your phone."

Now Mao Lilan had a new question: "Ah? Do other people have anti-shielding equipment? Are there any anti-shielding machines?"

Wow, here are the dolls.

Si Xuanyu and Shan Hai Jing laughed so hard that their shoulders shook.

Mao Lilan felt a little embarrassed by Si Xuanyu and Shan Haijing's laughter, and her face turned slightly red.

Hiroki Sawada didn't laugh, but assured Ran Maoli very seriously: "Sister Xiaolan, you don't have to worry. Our technology is world-class, far ahead of the second place. Apart from our own technology, no other technology can break through our shielding device."

Mao Lilan did not question what Sawada Hiroki said. She was pleasantly surprised when she heard it: "Hiroki, you are so awesome! I'll leave everything to Hiroki!"

Hiroki Sawada nodded: "No problem!"

After resolving the potential risk of information leakage, Mao Lilan finally felt at ease to talk to Si Xuanyu about her meeting with Akai Shuichi today.

Originally, Mao Lilan was very disappointed and blamed herself, thinking that she failed to complete the task. But after experiencing this incident, Mao Lilan's mood was greatly disrupted, and most of the negative emotions in her heart had dissipated. Now she can describe the situation at that time more objectively.

After that, Mao Lilan said worriedly: "Xuan Yu, I think Akai Shuichi already knows about Conan, but he may not have reported it to the FBI top brass, otherwise Sister Yukiko and Uncle Yusaku would definitely have noticed it. In this case, can he still get the FBI involved as we planned?"

Si Xuanyu smiled and said, "He is not the only one who can contact the FBI. No matter what he does, the FBI will know what we want them to know.

Moreover, this is actually a good thing. It at least proves that Akai Shuichi is a person with a bottom line. If people with a bottom line participate in our plan, Conan will be safer. "

Mao Lilan thought about it and felt the same way: "Then Xuanyu, do you want to meet him?"

Si Xuanyu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let's talk to Sister Yukiko first and wait for them to pass the news to the FBI."

In fact, Mao Lilan was still a little anxious, so she immediately called Fujimine Yukiko and told her about the matter.

After learning about this, Fujimine Yukiko said that she and Kudo Yusaku would speed up their actions.

Just at this time, Zhao Zhen had also prepared the meal and asked everyone to go downstairs for dinner.

After they packed up their things on the rooftop, they went downstairs to eat.

Zhao Zhen has already served the food on the table: "Alas, I don't know when Meiying and the children will be back. How can they encounter a murder case when they go out to participate in a competition? These kids are so unlucky."

Early this morning, three kids from the Junior Detective Team came over and pulled everyone out, saying that they saw the sign for the Children's Martial Arts Competition when they were playing outside yesterday, so they signed up all the members of their Junior Detective Team.

Haibara Ai and Edogawa Conan were also among them, and even the name of non-staff member Hiroki Sawada was reported.

However, Hiroki Sawada said that he still had to work and rejected their invitation.

However, Haibara Ai, who has always been somewhat indulgent towards the children, and Edogawa Conan, who recently wanted to relax, agreed reluctantly.

Wu Meiying, as the children's martial arts teacher, was also strongly invited.

It just so happened that Si Xuanyu was not planning to go out today, so he gave Wu Meiying a day off and asked her to go along to join in the fun.

Of course, she agreed only because Dr. Agasa, who had completed his research, also wanted to go with them, and Wu Meiying would not need to look after the child.

Otherwise she would definitely refuse!

The competition was originally scheduled to end around four in the afternoon, but one of the judges died in the middle of the competition.

Conan Edogawa and the three children rushed forward to check the situation.

Haibara Ai and Wu Meiying looked at each other and sighed helplessly. After sending messages to several adults to explain the situation, they could only accompany the children to investigate the case.

Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly: "Ha, well, don't blame the other children, it's mainly Conan's problem. He does, um, have a high probability of encountering a murder case."

Zhao Zhen chuckled when she heard that. "If they meet, then they meet. Our kids have a high crime-solving rate. This murder wasn't caused by our kids. Letting them meet can help catch the murderer faster. Anyway, I've left a lot of food. We can heat it up whenever they come back."

Mao Lilan also laughed: "Yes! I will heat up the food with you then."

Hiroki Sawada couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately I didn't go with them, otherwise I would have missed another day of work. Ayumi was cheering herself up happily when she left, saying that she would come back with a championship, but something went wrong in the middle of the competition, and I don't know if she can still get a ranking."

Shan Hai Jing said: "All the judges are dead, so it should be impossible to judge."

Si Xuanyu raised his eyebrows: "But I don't think those kids will be too disappointed. Compared to winning the championship, solving a murder case may give them a greater sense of accomplishment."

Mao Lilan shook her head: "I just don't know if the other children in the competition will be scared. I hope this incident won't discourage the children from practicing martial arts."

Speaking of martial arts, Mao Lilan said seriously: "Xuan Yu, I think I still need to find a way to improve my martial arts. Do you have any good ideas?"

She felt that her martial arts learning seemed to have reached a bottleneck, but she also sincerely felt that her martial arts ability was still insufficient.

Twice in a row, he was approached silently, notes were stuffed in his bag, and a bug was attached to his body, but he was unaware.

She was clearly very vigilant today.

Si Xuanyu blinked when he heard what Mao Lilan said.

In fact, Mao Lilan's martial arts have now reached the pinnacle of sports competition.

It's just that the players she met were all extremely talented and had countless practical experiences, which made her feel that she was still a little short of something.

Moreover, the martial arts spirits of both parties are also different. Mao Lilan always thinks about stopping at the right time. At most, she will stop after knocking someone unconscious or injuring them, and she will also be measured in her attacks.

But her opponents were different. They had survived many close calls with death, and their hands were all stained with blood. To them, they would not win unless their opponents died.

But this is exactly the gap that Mao Lilan cannot cross.

Because she would never fight with the intention of killing the other person.

Just like many adults would scream and cry when being chased by chickens, ducks and geese, a healthy adult can definitely beat chickens, ducks and geese due to their size.

But most people lack the courage to be ruthless. When confronting chickens, ducks and geese, they just want to drive them away instead of killing them.

But chickens, ducks and geese have no scruples, they are just here to bite their enemies to death.

Even with such a huge gap in size and strength between the two sides, such a one-sided situation can still arise due to different ideas, not to mention that people like Gin and Akai Shuichi are already a little better at martial arts than Ran Mouri.

From this point of view, if the red and black sides really fight, Ran Mouri's record may not even be as good as Haibara Ai, because Haibara Ai can really kill people.

Si Xuanyu would not choose to comfort Mao Lilan, but said this to Mao Lilan very directly and soberly: "The only way for you to improve your martial arts now is to fight a few life-and-death battles, and successfully kill the opponent and win the battle."

Mao Lilan was stunned: "Kill, kill?!"

Si Xuanyu nodded: "Yes. Can you do it?"

Mao Lilan swallowed her saliva. She had seen many murders, but killing someone herself was a completely different matter.

...How can you kill someone?

She fell silent. Just thinking about that scene made Mao Lilan feel uncomfortable all over and even wanted to vomit.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly stopped them: "Alright, alright! We are eating, why are you talking about these things? Xiaolan, stop thinking about it, hurry up and eat first!"

Mao Lilan recalled the picture in her mind, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down: "Aunt Zhen is right, let's eat first."

Zhao Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "That's right! The world is big, but eating is the most important thing! Come, Auntie Zhen will pick up some food for you!"

Zhao Zhen picked up the serving chopsticks and paused before reaching for the red beef. She turned around, picked up a handful of lush green vegetables, and put it into Mao Lilan's bowl: "Eat quickly!"

Mao Lilan looked at the green in the bowl and breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled gratefully at Zhao Zhen and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhen."

Seeing this, Si Xuanyu shrugged and said, "Okay, then don't tell me."

She picked up the spoon and scooped herself a spoonful of beef with red soup. Mm, delicious!

After dinner, Mao Lilan hesitated for a while, but still found Si Xuanyu and brought up the old matter again: "Xuanyu, is there really no other way? I can accept any hard training."

Si Xuanyu shook his head: "You are not lacking in skills now. Last time you asked Yuanzi to arrange a sparring with Kyogoku Makoto, didn't you win by a narrow margin?"

Mao Lilan pursed her lips: "Then, then Teacher Wu and Sister Wu, and you, Xuan Yu, you haven't killed anyone."

Si Xuanyu tilted his head: "Who said that?"

Mao Lilan was stunned: "...Huh?"

Si Xuanyu smiled and said, "We have all experienced jungle exploration. Regardless of whether we have killed people or not, we have killed many wild animals, so we have all seen blood."

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, yes, that's it."

It scared her to death, she thought...

However, even killing wild beasts seemed a little inappropriate to Mao Lilan.

People were living well in the habitat, but just because she wanted to practice martial arts, she went there to destroy them and even wanted to kill them after provoking them. This is too bad.

Mao Lilan didn't think that Si Xuanyu was a bad person, because Si Xuanyu and the others were going on an adventure, so their killing of wild animals was just a coincidence. The strong prey on the weak, this is the law of nature, there is nothing to criticize.

This is a completely different concept from her own intention to improve her martial arts by killing wild beasts.

But after thinking about it this way, Mao Lilan found that she was really like what Si Xuanyu said. If she met an enemy who was determined to kill her, she would definitely suffer a lot.
