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

Rice Flower Hospital.

When Rei Furuya pushed open the door of the ward, the first thing he saw was Natalie lying on the bed and Kou Ida sitting beside the bed.

"How about it?"

Rei Furuya's eyes fell on Natalie, looking her up and down, trying to confirm Natalie's current situation.

Date Kou saw Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu beside him at the door and was slightly startled: "Did you hear the news?"

"Yes, we came straight here as soon as we finished the case at hand."

"Thank you, Jyouya, Morofushi. I'm fine now."

Natalie smiled and asked them to sit down.

Date Ko looked at Morifushi Kagemitsu, his face full of emotion. "Morifushi, it's been over three years since we last met, right? Seeing that you're doing well, I'm relieved."

Zhu Fujingguang said helplessly: "I have been on overseas missions for the past three years. I am very sorry, squad leader, that I didn't even make it to your wedding."

Yi Dahang waved his hand: "I'm very happy that you can come back."

The two briefly reminisced about the past, and then the focus returned to Natalie's kidnapping.

Furuya Rei looked serious and asked Date Kou, "Captain, what's going on with Natalie?"

Yi Dahang glanced at his wife on the bed, frowned slightly, and then sighed: "This matter——"

"Squad leader, I heard something happened in your family!"

The door was pushed open again, and Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara also hurried over.

So in the small ward, five people who had not met for three years reunited.

But it was too late to talk about the joy of reunion. Everyone sat on the bench with solemn expressions on their faces.

"I didn't expect that the Linlu Construction case would involve the squad leader..."

Matsuda Jinpei scratched his hair angrily and apologized to Date Kou with an apologetic look: "Captain... I'm sorry, we got you into trouble..."

Yi Dahang shook his head: "It's not your fault in the first place."

He took Natalie's hand, his face full of guilt: "I knew about your affairs, but I still didn't raise my guard. It's my fault."

Natalie looked at the depressed crowd, sighed helplessly, patted Yi Dahang's hand comfortingly, and took the initiative to say: "Why should good people blame themselves for what bad people did?"

"Bad people want to do bad things, but good people want to act uprightly. This is impossible to prevent no matter what."

Because good guys can't beat bad guys.

Natalie rubbed her belly lovingly, the bloody figure flashing through her mind—

Despite his cruel and brutal methods, his ultimate goal was to save lives, to keep himself alive… but in the end, he became cautious, as if he had done something unforgivable. He could only wipe the blood from his hands in silence and then quietly leave…

Natalie couldn't help but sigh again. "So when good people are forced to become bad, the bad guys will feel fear..."

After saying this, the ward suddenly became quiet.

Natalie realized that she had spoken her mind.

She coughed lightly and said, "Of course, times are different now..."

"That's exactly right!"

Matsuda Jinpei was the first to speak, clapping his hands vigorously, his face full of agreement.

"Some guys are like that. Good guys bully them hard, and bad guys avoid them. In my opinion, sometimes you have to be worse than the bad guys and be more ruthless..."

Kenji Hagiwara poked Jinpei Matsuda, which made him swallow his crazy remarks of "fighting violence with violence".

Jōya Rei and Zhufu Jingguang looked at each other in surprise.

As police officers with rather "controversial" methods, the longer they stayed in the darkness, the more they understood the value of Natalie's words.

After all, they are both considered... qualified bad guys in the organization.

Idahang didn't have so many thoughts, he was just worried about Natalie: "Dear, don't think about those things, we are here."

He was worried that Natalie was still immersed in that dangerous experience, which would affect her mental and physical health.

"It's okay with me." Natalie smiled and winked. "As a family member of a police officer, I can't embarrass you."

Yi Dahang breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Natalie: "That's good, everything will be fine."

Fūya Rei's cell phone rang. He answered the call and then walked back.

"I've asked the police to investigate that building, but there was a huge explosion there just now, and only ruins are left," said Rei Furuya.

Yi Dahang frowned: "The man who kidnapped Natalie..."

"Nine bodies were found at the scene, and their identities are still being verified," replied Rei Furuya.

Others were a little surprised: "Nine people?"

Natalie nodded and explained, "This Kano Zhiming is actually Kano Takakazu's brother. He kidnapped me to get his brother out... Those eight people must be the killers who came to silence me."

Fūya Rei flipped through his phone. "Kano Tomoaki, a retired mercenary from Central East Asia, was once known as the 'King of Soldiers'. He's incredibly powerful. The fact they sent eight assassins to silence him shows they're genuinely wary of Kano Tomoaki's abilities."

Natalie sighed with fear: "So fortunately, if they hadn't been fighting among themselves, I wouldn't have found the opportunity to escape."

Kenji Hagiwara raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the others.

How did a pregnant woman escape on her own?

It’s not that they doubt Natalie, it’s just that the matter itself is very strange.

The hostages escaped safely, but everyone else died...

Matsuda Jinpei asked politely, "Can I ask for the details of what happened?"

Natalie was a little nervous and covered her stomach: "Of course."

However, everyone present was very smart, so how could they not notice Natalie's nervousness? Zhu Fu Jingguang said in a gentle voice, "If you are too tired, just rest first. We just want to investigate this matter further, so please don't be too nervous."

Idahang also comforted Natalie: "If you don't feel well, don't mention it for now. We will investigate it later anyway."

Natalie forced a smile: "Yeah."

Everyone stayed for a while and then left the ward.

Natalie stretched her neck to look outside and asked nonchalantly, "Ah Hang, I remember there were six of you before. How come I don't see Bai Chuan?"

When Shirakawa Akane was in a car accident, Natalie had specially delivered meals to Date Ko, so the two had met before.

Yi Dahang paused and poured water for Natalie: "I haven't told him about this yet. Did Natalie know that he would be here soon?"

Natalie was a little worried, but thinking that she had to keep Baichuanqiu's secret, she could only suppress her worries temporarily and lowered her eyes: "I understand."

Ida Hang placed the cup of water on the bedside and sat back next to Natalie.

The man's face looked a little haggard, but his features seemed sharper, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Natalie was always so gentle.

He took Natalie's hand, his voice gentle but firm: "Natalie, was it Baichuan who saved you?"

Natalie was startled and subconsciously looked away.

And her behavior basically made it clear.

Datehang sighed.

"Sorry, Ah Hang..." Natalie lowered her eyes, feeling a little guilty, "I clearly promised him, but still..."

Date Ko hugged Natalie: "I know, I know, Shirakawa probably doesn't want us to worry."

From the moment he answered Baichuan's call, he knew that Baichuan would definitely go to help.

Maybe Baichuan is not the same as before...

But Baichuan is still the same Baichuan.

Date Ko will always consider Shirakawa his friend.

Natalie grabbed Idahang's arm and said worriedly, "Ahhang, can you go check on him? I have a feeling... he seems to be seriously injured, but he doesn't want to talk about it, nor does he want me to help."
