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

"It's our turn now. Let's sign up first. We'll talk later if anything else."

"But……"

Sakuta put his arm around Hattori Heiji's shoulders and forcibly took him away. When Hattori Heiji finished registering and went to look again, the boy was nowhere to be found.

On the other side, Mao Lilan looked at the wounds on the boy's body, her eyes full of heartache and anger.

Yuanshan Heye also put his hands on his hips angrily: "Why are they like this? Aren't they from the same island? How dare they go so far."

The young man was still a little timid. He looked at the two girls and whispered, "Thank you."

"Sister Xiaolan, what's going on?"

Conan, who had been keeping an eye on Mouri Ran, was the first to notice the situation, and then walked over with Shirakawa Akane and Mouri Kogoro.

Mao Lilan said angrily: "Just now, Kazuha and I found that a few children were ganging up on him, so we helped drive them away."

Yuanshan Heye pointed at the boy's exposed arms and cheeks and said, "Look at the injuries on his body, they are simply too much!"

Baichuan Qiu's gaze fell on the young man, and suddenly his eyes flickered.

A foreign mixed-race child?

Green Chat is American, and his ex-wife is from Sakura, so their child should be of mixed race...

Could it be that the young man in front of me is Green Chat's son?

But how is this possible?

Wasn't Green Chat very good to his son? It shouldn't be so tragic, right?

Baichuan Qiu pursed his lips, feeling somewhat puzzled, but he did not reveal it at all.

Maori Kogoro took a look and found that the boy was about the same age as his daughter, but had so many wounds on his body. He became a little angry: "Are all children so vicious nowadays?"

"No, it's okay." The boy shrank back again and answered stutteringly.

Mao Lilan: "Dad, you scared him."

Maori Kogoro coughed lightly and said in a gentler voice: "Kid, what's your name? Where are your family members?"

The young man glanced at the few people, lowered his head, and said softly: "My name is Makino Xiaoyou, and I am an orphan."

Kogoro Maori hissed softly.

No wonder, he turned out to be an orphan.

It is indeed difficult for an orphan with a mixed-race face to live on such a feudal island.

Mao Lilan said: "I'll go see if there is a pharmacy nearby and treat the wound first."

Makino Xiaoyou quickly waved his hands: "No, no, it's used. Thank you, but you, you should just leave me alone. Even if there is a wound, it will heal again soon after it's treated."

Upon hearing this, any kind-hearted person's blood pressure will soar.

"Is there no one here who cares about this matter?" As a father, Kogoro Mouri hates to see such things the most.

Makino Xiaoyou shook his head: "No, no one will take care of it. Thank you, you guys. I should go now."

After saying that, he limped to his feet and was about to leave.

"Hey——" Mao Lilan wanted to say something, but the boy ran away very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This guy is a little too timid." Yuanshan Heye crossed his arms, a little confused.

"This is normal," Bai Chuanqiu said bluntly, "The more people help him, the more those who bully him will dislike him, and then they will bully him even more. We will leave eventually, so it's normal for him to react like this."

Both girls were silent.

Even Kogoro Mori scratched his hair in distress.

There is no other reason, it’s mainly because what Baichuan Qiu said is true.

Their help may actually increase the suffering of others.

Conan looked at the direction where Makino Xiaoyou disappeared and sighed deeply.

The sufferings of the world are nothing more than this.

Soon, Hattori Heiji and Sakuda also came back.

Hattori Heiji angrily recounted what he had just witnessed, and the others were shocked.

"Heiji, so you saw it too."

"Eh?"

Toyama and Ye recounted what they had just done.

"Ah, so you guys took the person away." Hattori Heiji understood, "I was wondering why the person behind me disappeared."

Maori Kogoro asked Sakuda: "Mr. Saku, has this happened often before?"

Judging from Sakuta's reaction, he seemed to be used to it.

Sakuta sighed, "Why wouldn't I intervene? I did a few years ago, but later I realized that if outsiders like us helped, it would only make their bullying worse, so I just ignored it."

He is a stranger in a foreign land and out of reach. It is extremely difficult to help him. Instead of making him suffer more and more, the best way is to ignore him.

Suddenly, everyone's mood became depressed.

At this moment, Baichuan Qiu suddenly asked: "Mr. Saku, when did this boy's parents die? Are there no other relatives at home?"

Sakuta was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and replied, "About six years ago, his mother passed away due to illness, and he also had a high fever, and then his language system had some problems."

"It seems that there are only him and his mother at home, and no other relatives."

Bai Chuanqiu's eyes flickered slightly: "Where is his father?"

Sakuta shook his head. "It seems the mother moved off the island for a while, and when she returned she brought a child with her. The child's father wasn't seen."

Conan held his chin.

"Also, islanders are generally prohibited from leaving the island, except for this time every three years when they can be received by boat. Normally, only fishermen can go out to sea when fishing. Otherwise, it is a violation of ancestral rules."

Therefore, Makino Xiaoyou's mother violated the island rules, and after the mother and son returned, they were not welcomed by the islanders.

Baichuan Qiu raised his eyebrows.

Did you really come back from outside?

Could it be that this Makino Xiaoyou is really Green Chat's son? That would be very interesting. Green Chat and his daughter are living a luxurious life abroad, while his son/brother is suffering on this side of the coast.

Still, it's a little strange.

Since Green Chat still missed his son, why didn't he come to see him in person after so many years, and he didn't even send anyone to check on him?

Given Green Chat's shrewdness, would he be willing to let his son suffer such a miserable fate?

and--

Baichuan Qiu's eyes swept around inconspicuously.

Moreover, the young man's features were so conspicuous. Zhu Fu had arrived on the island a few days before him and must have locked onto the target long ago.

But why has Zhu Fujingguang's whereabouts not been found until now?

Is it still lurking, or has it encountered other uncontrollable dangers?

A dangerous emotion flashed in his golden eyes, and the young man in elegant Hanfu couldn't help but curl his lips, revealing shark teeth that were totally inconsistent with his temperament.

A gentle and kind young man now becomes mysterious and evil.

——Things on this island are becoming more and more interesting.

His eyes cast towards Conan beside him, then retracted, gazing casually into the distance.

"Let's go! We've been here a while, and you haven't really explored Matsuura Island yet. This is a great opportunity to take a look around," Sakuta suggested. "There will be events in the next few days, and it'll be bustling with people. You won't be able to enjoy the authentic town scenery."

No one refused and followed Sakuda's footsteps to explore this mysterious and ancient island.
