Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

As the sun gradually approaches the horizon, its orange-red rays fall upon the sea, adding an extra touch of beauty.

Yuya and the others were at the entrance of the Sea House, saying goodbye to Menda Sekiyo before heading back.

With a guilty look on his face, Mian Tianshuoliang said, "I'm sorry, did my trip to the beach really disrupt your entire itinerary?"

Yuya smiled and said, "It's alright. It's not a detective's job to ignore a case."

Mian Tian Shuoliang forced a smile.

Yuya asked, "But are you sure you want to do this? If you tell the police about the fraud gang you participated in, it will confirm your crime, and you'll be arrested along with them."

Mian Tianshuo nodded, a relaxed smile on his face: "Yes, this is the result I expected."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a mocking voice came from the side.

"Hahaha, what are you saying? I don't want that outcome at all!"

A group of nearly twenty people emerged from behind the Sea House, each carrying sticks and weapons, their faces filled with malicious intent.

Yuya immediately spotted Junshan Guiqi, who had just escaped, inside.

"You, you're the boss of this fraud ring!" Mian Tian Shuo Liang looked terrified, but she still shouted defiantly, "If you want trouble, come at me! Don't hurt innocent people!"

He then spread his arms to block Yuya and the others, intending to face them alone.

The man in the red shirt with a square face, who was leading the group, sneered, "That won't do. They've seen what I, the boss, look like. How can we let them leave?"

Yu raised an eyebrow. These people were members of a fraud gang, and even the boss was there? He thought the police would have to spend some time chasing them down, but they delivered themselves right to his doorstep.

Yuya whispered to Subaru Okiya, "Do you think we'll get a reward if we arrest these people and send them to the police station?"

Subaru Okiya paused for a moment: "I really don't know, maybe there is?"

Yuya glanced at the group of people up and down, then shook his head in disdain: "They're just a bunch of fraudsters, probably not much of a reward. Oh well, consider it a favor to Inspector Yokomizo."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Station.

"Moshimoshi..."

Seeing that Yuya and the others weren't afraid at all, and instead called the police right in front of him, he immediately flew into a rage and roared, "Give them a good beating, and then take them all back!"

"Oh!" A group of people shouted and charged forward, weapons in hand.

Rumi Wakasa quickly crouched down, shielding the children.

Perhaps in retaliation for what had just happened, Junshan Guiqi rushed to the front, roared, and raised his baseball bat high, smashing it down towards Menda Shuoliang's head.

However, the next second, a fist the size of a clay pot suddenly appeared and hit him on the chin, sending him flying.

Rumi Wakasa stared blankly at Subaru Okiya, who was in a punching stance, her pupils dilating violently—that was Jeet Kune Do?!

After knocking the person away, Subaru Okiya turned his head and shouted at Rumi Wakasa. His usually squinted eyes were now wide open, and his gaze was extremely cold: "Teachers, please step back and take the children and Miss Sakura to a safe place!"

Rumi Wakasa's pupils suddenly contracted as a figure suddenly jumped out from the depths of her memory.

He was a man wearing a baseball cap and sporting a Japanese-style mustache.

It was during a life-or-death crisis that the man stood in front of me and told me to leave quickly.

"The monsters we're going to deal with next don't need to cost a young girl with a bright future her life. It would be too much of a loss."

"Someone like me is just right."

At that moment, the two people's eyes overlapped in Rumi Wakasa's eyes, as if they had become one person.

Seeing that Wakasa Rumi remained standing still, Okiya Subaru shouted again, "Hurry up!"

"Teacher, over here!"

Just as Rumi Wakasa came to her senses, Shiho Miyano grabbed her hand, and the group ran towards the storeroom of the Sea House.

Yuya's gaze swept over the group of scammers, and the exact number appeared in his mind. After a moment's thought, he hung up the phone.

Then, he casually kicked a conman who rushed in front of him to the ground and asked Subaru Okiya with a relaxed expression, "Do you need my help?"

Subaru Okiya didn't answer, he just kept throwing punches, glancing at him occasionally.

What he meant was probably that he could handle it without you having to do anything.

Yu shrugged, stretched, and waved to the group of con artists in front of him: "You guys, come here!"

The fraudsters exchanged glances, brandished their clubs, and roared as they charged toward Youye.

"Ahhhh!"

"what!"

"Ah!"

On the other side, several fraudsters, wielding sticks, chased Wakasa Rumi and her group to the entrance of the warehouse behind the Sea House.

Wakasa Rumi pushed everyone inside, leaving herself outside alone.

She raised her arm and smashed the door lock with a bang.

The person inside tried to turn the handle, but the door wouldn't open.

"Teacher, Wakasa-sensei!"

"Wakasa-sensei, are you alright?"

Outside the door, Rumi Wakasa lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes, teacher... I'll be fine."

She slowly raised her head, her glasses flashing with a cold light, her eyes filled with icy indifference.

"Bang bang bang!"

Yuya and Subaru Okiya quickly dealt with the fraudsters.

Yuya glanced around, his eyes instantly narrowing: "Wait, four or five people are missing!"

Subaru Okiya's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that he went after the children?"

The two immediately ran towards the back of the house by the sea.

Then when they arrived at the back of the house, they saw only a few fraudsters they had overlooked, all lying on the ground, knocked unconscious.

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, Wakasa Rumi peeked out from around the corner, cautiously looking around. When she saw Yuya and Okiya Subaru, she exclaimed with delight, "Subaru-sensei, Kamiya-kun!"

Yuya and Subaru Okiya rushed over.

Yuya looked around and asked hesitantly, "These people... did you do this, Wakasa-sensei?"

Rumi Wakasa shook her head repeatedly: "How could that be? I was just hiding to the side. They're probably fighting amongst themselves."

"I see." Yu didn't ask any further questions.

The warehouse door opened, and several children rushed out anxiously, asking if Wakasa Rumi was alright.

Looking at the three adorable children, Rumi Wakasa smiled and said, "It's alright, teacher. I'm just very lucky." As she spoke, she raised her hand and patted Ayumi's head.

At that moment, Yuya and Subaru Okiya's eyes narrowed slightly—they noticed that Rumi Wakasa had some scratches on the back of her other hand.

According to Yuya's experience, those marks weren't left by hitting something, but rather by a fist hitting a bone.

He shifted his gaze slightly and exchanged a glance with Shiho Miyano and Conan, who were standing behind the children. The latter nodded imperceptibly.

Yuya smiled slightly, then looked intently at Rumi Wakasa's retreating figure.

This teacher, Wakasa, is definitely not an ordinary person.

She wanted to test Shiho Miyano, but...

Yuya, Conan, and Subaru Okiya, weren't they also testing her?

That's right, those fraudsters were intentionally let go by Yuya and Subaru Okiya, just to test Rumi Wakasa.

With Conan's tranquilizer watch, power-enhancing shoes, and catapulting soccer ball, plus Shiho Miyano's tranquilizer bottle, even if Rumi Wakasa hides very well and doesn't make a move, there won't be any danger.

The result was, quite well, actually.
