Model worker and his little darling

The bullet shattered the lens, but ultimately grazed Conan's eye and shot backward.

Conan fell to the ground, covering his eyes, blood seeping from between his fingers, his face filled with disbelief.

How could that be? Those were bulletproof glasses specially made by a doctor; how could they have been shattered?

Pu Siqinglan was dumbfounded; when did her marksmanship become so terrible?

Seeing this, Hirai rolled his eyes. He knew this would happen; even if he secretly replaced Conan's glasses, Conan wouldn't be in any danger. However, the trajectory of the bullet was truly bizarre.

Soon, Pu Siqinglan came to her senses, changed the magazine, and aimed at Conan.

"Kid, I'll tell you a secret since you're so pitiful. There's a powerful figure hiding beside you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a playing card was shot towards the hand holding the gun in Urako Seiran's hand. Urako Seiran dodged the card and fired several shots in Conan's direction.

In the chaos, Conan couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Ping Qing's lips twitched. He had seen it; a shot had almost hit Conan in the kidneys.

He glanced at Conan lying on the ground and tossed him to Kaito Kuroba.

He didn't want Conan to suddenly wake up and hear or see something detrimental to him.

He then appeared behind Pu Siqinglan and fired a shot into her heart. But suddenly, the person in front of her vanished, and a white light appeared beneath her feet.

"With you here, how could I not be prepared? You know, even Spider couldn't get away with this."

After all, Spider was wary of this person, which piqued her interest as well.

Ping Qing pursed her lips, "These things of yours are useless to me."

Pu Siqinglan looked at Ping Qing with a smile, "Whether it's useful or not, we'll only know after using it. Actually, we can cooperate, can't we?"

"I wouldn't dare cooperate with a beauty like you; I could easily lose my life. Besides, you stole a batch of our medicine last time."

"It's a pity that your people took that batch of drugs back in the end."

Pingqing's eyes flickered. Gin had said that the old man had sent someone to handle it, and it seemed that the final result was good.

"I never expected such a beautiful woman to have the code name Scorpion. You don't have rats, cockroaches, ants, moths or anything like that, do you?"

Pu Siqinglan looked displeased. How could there be such unpleasant code names as cockroach and moth?

"You want this Egg of Memories too? I heard there's a secret hidden inside."

"Tell me about it." Ping Qing was genuinely curious. After all, something the old man had taken a liking to must be quite a secret, otherwise he wouldn't have let him take the Egg of Memories back with him.

"I don't know either. How about we work together to uncover this secret?"

Ping Qing was speechless. Did he look like someone who was easy to fool?

He then walked step by step toward Pu Siqinglan, the patterns under his feet began to change, and streaks of fire coiled around Ping Qing.

After walking a few steps, he saw a huge scorpion with a blue light flashing on its tail, which was fiercely stabbing at him.

Ping Qing blinked. It was all the same old trick; the Spider was a giant spider. But the Scorpion was even more shocking. No wonder that peripheral member was so terrified back then.

Ouch, who knows what would happen if I got stabbed.

Ping Qing narrowed his eyes. Pu Si Qinglan's methods were inferior to Spider's; it seemed she preferred firearms. He abandoned any thought of testing her; a swift victory was preferable.

Seeing that her methods were ineffective against Ping Qing, Pu Siqinglan's expression changed, and she finally believed that this person was indeed as Spider had said, very strange.

Seeing that Pu Siqinglan was standing on the outermost edge, Pingqing instantly teleported over.

"boom--"

"Left hand?"

She was on guard against Ping Qing, but unexpectedly a gun suddenly appeared in her left hand and hit her wrist.

Upon seeing Pu Siqinglan trying to run, Pingqing grabbed her arm and plunged a poisoned needle into her. The next second, the gun was pointed at her heart.

Just then, Pu Siqinglan gritted her teeth, pulled out a short knife, and thrust the blade at Ping Qing. Ping Qing dodged to the side and fired several shots.

He didn't want Pu Siqinglan to get away; he had almost revealed his identity to Conan just now.

Even after seeing that the person had stopped breathing, Pingqing was still not at ease.

"Xiao Qi, is she really dead?"

【It is impossible to die any more.】

"Won't he come back to life?"

Xiao Qi was speechless after hearing Ping Qing's words.

【Host, you're dreaming.】

After carefully storing the Egg of Memories, head towards the gasoline that Pu Siqinglan had prepared.

Watching the fire serpents wreak havoc mercilessly in the castle, Ping Qing sighed. He never expected that he would be the one to start the fire this time.

It's a pity that we didn't get the secret of the Egg of Memories from Pu Siqinglan.

Seeing that Professor Agasa had arrived on the system map, Hirai returned to the underground palace and saw Kaito Kuroba waiting for him.

"Pingqing, are you alright? How's Scorpion?"

"died."

Kaito Kuroba breathed a sigh of relief. One Spider was already giving him a headache. He didn't want another Scorpion to appear.

After hearing what Pingqing said, Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched.

"Wake up, Mr. Mori, wake up..."

As Kaito Kuroba shook Uncle Mori while pinching his philtrum, Hirai's eyes widened. Could it be that Kaito was retaliating against Uncle Mori for doubting him earlier?

He shook his head and joined in calling for help.

Soon, everyone woke up.

"What's wrong with me?"

"How did I end up lying here?"

……

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Kaito Kuroba coughed twice.

"Everyone, Pu Si Qinglan is Scorpion. Conan and I chased after her, but she injured Conan and ran away. When I came back with Conan, I found you all lying unconscious on the ground."

"What? You're saying Miss Qinglan is Scorpion, the assassin wanted by Interpol?" Uncle Mori couldn't accept this result.

"Conan is injured?" Ran rushed over to check on him.

“Mr. Mori, the most important thing now is to get out of here. Scorpion has set the castle on fire and wants to burn us to death here.”

Upon hearing what Officer Shiratori said, everyone decided to go outside first.

Following the Junior Detective Team, they escaped through the outdoor exit using the rope ladder brought by the professor, only to find the castle engulfed in flames.

"Miss Natsumi, I'm so sorry, I never expected it to turn out like this. The Egg of Memories has also been taken away by Scorpion."

Hearing Uncle Mori's apologetic words, Natsumi Kosaka shook her head, "It's alright."

After chatting for a while, everyone got into the car and left the castle, and no one remembered Qian Jiangyi, who had long since disappeared.

When I returned to Tokyo, it was raining heavily.

Fortunately, Conan's injuries were not serious; he just needs to rest for a couple of days.

Ran, holding the pigeon, looked away from Conan.

Is it Shinichi?
