Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

"stop!"

Zhu Fushiguri and Conan ran all the way and finally caught up with Makino Xiaoyou.

The three of them stopped at the foot of the mountain behind the island, with the endless sea next to them and a pile of neatly arranged dead leaves in front of them.

Makino Xiaoyou lit the torch he had prepared long ago, pointed it at the pile of dead leaves, and shouted, "Don't come over here anymore!"

Conan's pupils shrank.

The wind on the coast was blowing louder and louder. Even the torch in Makino's right hand was dragging a long shadow in the wind, and sparks kept flying. Conan and Zhufu Jingguang understood something at the same time. They took a step back and held out their hands: "We won't go any further. Calm down first!"

Got it, got it all!

Why is Makino Xiaoyou's behavior so contradictory? It seems that he is deliberately delaying time - his purpose is to wait for the strong wind that suddenly changes direction!

He wants to force Sakuda out, then burn the island down and get revenge on everyone!

And now his goal has been achieved! With the help of Conan and Shirakawa, he finally confirmed who his father's murderer was. The resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years could finally be vented at this moment, and those who deserved to die and those who didn't deserve to die, all of them would be buried with him!

Now, he just needs the final step.

——Light the bamboo leaves in front of you, then burn the ropes that bind them, and let the burning bamboo leaves be blown towards the bamboo forest by the strong wind.

The dry environment, the strong wind... the fire will spread all the way up along the bamboo forest, then over the mountain, rushing towards the ancient town built on the mountain, and finally engulfing the entire island!

This is an extremely crazy idea.

But when Morobushi Kagemitsu and Conan realized this, cold sweat broke out on their backs at the same time.

Don't let him do this!

Otherwise, the island will be completely finished!

Zhu Fujingguang touched his pistol inconspicuously and said in a gentle voice, "I have collected a lot of evidence of crimes on this island. You can choose to trust the laws of modern civilization. They will give you an explanation."

The charge of armed fighting alone is enough to send many people on the island into reformatory institutions.

After all, this island is a product of feudal civilization, and it's time to give it a makeover!

However, Makino Xiaoyou just shook his head: "I don't understand this, and I don't want to go to your so-called new era. I only know that no matter where you are, prejudice and discrimination will always exist."

"Humanity is evil itself!"

After saying this, he stretched out his hand to the pile of fallen leaves in front of him without hesitation.

Zhu Fujingguang suddenly raised his hand, and the bullet knocked the torch in Muye's little right hand away, but there were still some sparks of fire splashing on the pile of fallen leaves.

Suddenly, the fire lit up.

The two rushed forward at the same time. Conan grabbed the torch before Makino Xiaoyou could reach out, and ran to another place to put out the torch with mud and sand. Zhu Fushimi Kagemitsu quickly extinguished the jumping flames.

Makino Xiaoyou's hopeful gaze was extinguished the moment the fire disappeared. He suddenly rushed over like a madman, "No, don't—"

Zhu Fu Jingguang did not show any mercy to his opponent. He turned around and threw a left hook, knocking the man to the ground.

"No! Why! Why!"

Makino Xiaoyou collapsed to the ground, screaming in despair: "When I was living a life worse than death on the island, where were you? Where is the so-called law? Now I want revenge on everyone, and you show up? Do you think you are so noble?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked down at him, not moved at all. He directly picked the man up from the ground and tied him up with a rope.

Seeing that everything was settled, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to look at the island, but suddenly his eyes widened.

"First, sir—" Conan didn't know the other person's name, so he could only use "sir" instead. He looked behind them in horror, his face full of panic, "There's a fire!"

"What--"

Zhu Fu Jingguang turned his head and looked at the bamboo forest behind him, but saw that a raging fire had already started in the bamboo forest on the hillside in the distance!

As the wind blew, the fire became even more intense and continued to spread towards the mountain in an unstoppable manner!

"How could this happen! Who set the fire?" Conan blurted out, "There are people all over the top of the mountain!"

There are large bamboo forests on this side, but the other side of the mountain is full of islanders and tourists!

And Mao Lilan and the others are still in the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain!

Without any hesitation, Conan ran towards the mountain.

"stop!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang grabbed the child and scolded him in a low voice, "You're crazy! If you run up now, you definitely won't be able to outrun the wildfire! And if you go up from this position, you'll only be stopped by the wildfire!"

So they had to go around and climb the mountain from the front road!

"But it's too late!" Conan was extremely anxious, "Xiaolan and the others are still in the bamboo forest over here!"

The fire has spread so widely, what if they——

"The smell will convey the message faster than fire," Zhu Fujingguang said calmly, "As long as they react in time, climb over this mountain and reach the other side, the fire on the leeward slope will slow down a lot."

Conan was still worried and struggled a few times: "I will go up the mountain from the other side, sir, you take charge of this side."

Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, as if he remembered something, and let go of his hand.

As soon as Conan landed, he ran to the other side.

Zhu Fujingguang watched the child leave, then looked back at the fire on the mountain and murmured softly, "As expected of...Zero's assistant."

"It was this fire. It came out of such a strange way."

"I hope nothing happened over there in Baichuan..."

-

Halfway up the mountain, the white-haired young man looked up at the increasingly fierce fire, turned around nonchalantly, and threw the burning bamboo leaves in his hand onto the ground.

Behind him, the man was lying in a pool of blood, staring at the devilish figure, hatred and fear still in his eyes.

"Ho ho ho-"

He wanted to say something, but only a hollow and terrifying sound came out, and he could no longer utter a complete sentence.

The system, which had been watching the entire process, took a deep breath and finally began to take the host's abilities seriously. It asked cautiously, "Host, are you really just an ordinary person?"

"What do you think?"

Baichuan Qiu asked back.

Perhaps because the thick smoke choked his throat, his voice became particularly hoarse and had a hint of coldness.

The system shuddered: "It doesn't seem like it."

No normal person would be so skilled in knife skills and torture.

It quietly opened the panel, only to see that the [Interrogation Expert] skill that had suddenly appeared just now had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The system felt a chill in its heart.

The system panel...something seems wrong.

What exactly went wrong?

As the system fell silent, Baichuan Qiu chuckled and walked out of the bamboo forest, paying no attention to the increasingly fierce fire.

The fire spread very quickly. With the help of the east wind, it climbed up the mountain and swallowed up everything behind it in a blink of an eye.

Including the bloodstains left behind, and the people who still had a glimmer of hope in the pool of blood...

The system panel flickered, and the title evaluation seemed to be broken, distorted into a mosaic, and then quickly returned to normal, staying at the evaluation of [Newbie Xiao Hei].

……

Hattori Heiji once again blocked Chiyoichiro's blade. His body weight began to sink, and all the strength in his body surged into his arms. He gritted his teeth and exerted force -

With a low shout from the young man, the sword in Chiyoichiro's hand bounced uncontrollably and flew out of his palm.

Chiyoichiro had a stunned expression, with his hands open, staring blankly at the dark-skinned boy in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

--How can it be?

He, the dignified lord of Matsuura Island, had killed countless people with his sword, and had never been defeated before Chiyo Hayato!

But today!

He actually lost to a young boy!

How can this be?

"You lose—"

Hattori Heiji looked at the old man in front of him, his voice calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, as if there was nothing to be proud of.

Chiyoichiro's eyes were bloodshot.
