Conan: No, why aren't you following the script?

"Isn't it quite unexpected, Mr. Kitagawa? I never imagined you'd be the first person I killed. I didn't want to make a fuss about it, but..."

Pu Siqinglan strode forward with a playful expression. Her alluring figure was faintly visible beneath the half-concealment of her cheongsam. In no time, she had reached the room and closed the door behind her.

"If you really have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too flamboyant... If you had pretended not to know anything, you wouldn't have had to die after my mission was completed. It's really a pity, isn't it? A handsome guy like you would look really strange if I had a hole in your right eye, wouldn't you say?"

In response to Pu Siqinglan's words, Kitagawa Isao deliberately feigned a shocked expression:

"You, you want to kill me? Why... Miss Qinglan, why are you doing this? We've only just met, I didn't even know you before!"

"Heh, you're already facing death, fine... I'll tell you then,"

Pu Siqinglan smiled slightly, "My true identity is that mercenary assassin who roamed Europe, Scrooge... I suppose you, the detective, should know my name, right? Originally, I wanted to disguise myself as a Chinese person and hide, but you had to be so nosy and expose me. Now, I'm quite sorry."

So you're going to kill me?

"There's no way around it. If I can't shut you up forever, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. So... rest in peace. Considering you do fit my criteria for a partner, I'll try to kill you with one shot. Don't move, be good..."

A chilling glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at the panicked Kitagawa Xun standing before her. Pu Siqinglan sneered, raised her pistol, pointed it at Kitagawa Xun's right eye, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, Kitagawa Isao, who was at a loss just a second ago, seemed to become a different person the moment she pulled the trigger. He only slightly shifted his body and narrowly dodged the bullet.

This scene completely shocked Pu Siqinglan. Driven by the instincts of a top assassin, she hurriedly tried to fire a few more shots, but Kitagawa Xun did not give her that chance again.

Having had his fill of the cat-and-mouse game, Kitagawa Isao shook his head, then darted forward and grabbed Pu Siqinglan's wrist.

Feeling the intense pain in her wrist, Pu Siqinglan tried to break free, but to no avail.

Having had his body enhanced by the system several times, Kitagawa Isao's strength, while not yet perfect, is clearly more than enough to handle the situation of a normal person.

His expression changed from one of fear to one of smirk; he raised an eyebrow, smiled coldly at Pu Siqinglan, and said:

"Have you made enough of a scene? You don't really think that if you kill me here, no one will suspect you, do you? And didn't you have even the slightest suspicion about how easily I separated from the main force, Miss Scrooge?"

"You...you already knew it!"

Hearing this, Pu Siqinglan finally woke up from her daze, "This is a trap! You deliberately lured me into making a move! You cunning fellow, how dare you..."

"Heh, we're even. You wanted to kill me too, didn't you? If you didn't want things to get complicated, you wouldn't be in this situation. Miss Scroobing, now that things have come to this, you should think more about how to get leniency from the police."

"You're going to hand me over to the police? No, you can't do that! Mr. Kitagawa, I... you know, I have a lot of assets in Europe. If you release me, we can cooperate, and then I can..."

"Well said, but I don't want to hear it."

Before Pu Siqinglan could finish speaking, Kitagawa Xun nodded and simultaneously chopped her neck with his left hand, causing Pu Siqinglan to faint.

The whole process was efficient and straightforward, but Kitagawa Isao did not feel the sense of accomplishment he had imagined. He only felt a sense of boredom.

After letting out a silent sigh, he hoisted Pu Siqinglan's body onto his shoulder, also tucking the pistol into his pocket, and swaggered back onto the deck.

……

at the same time.

Having already subdued Conan and vented his anger, Kogoro Mouri had just finished two drinks when he saw Isao Kitagawa carrying Seiran Urako in this unbelievable way.

Instantly, he froze.

Then, with great sorrow and indignation, he said:

"Beichuan, what... when did you get together with Miss Qinglan? And what's wrong with her now? What exactly did you two do?!"

"Ok?"

Ai Haibara, who was admiring the sea view, suddenly perked up her ears. Detecting the keyword, she quickly turned around and scrutinized Kitagawa Isao from head to toe with a very dangerous look, her expression suddenly becoming extremely terrifying.

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Isao, startled by Kogoro Mouri, quickly explained that he had been attacked by Urako Seiran, who was holding a pistol and had personally admitted that she was the top assassin who had dominated Europe—Scoughing.

"The story goes something like this: Miss Qinglan suddenly came to my room intending to attack me. I think she probably thought of killing me to cover it up after I found out she couldn't speak Chinese, because she was worried about exposing her identity."

At this point, Kitagawa Isao searched through the crowd and forcibly pulled out Conan, who was clutching his buttocks and looking pained. "Conan can testify for me on this point; he was there at the time."

When Kitagawa Isao forcibly dragged him out, Conan felt the wound on his buttocks being pulled, and he immediately grimaced in pain.

However, with the case being the priority, Conan endured the pain and finally nodded with a pained expression:

“That’s right, what Kitagawa-nii said is true. He and Miss Qinglan had an argument back then. But Kitagawa-nii… how did you subdue Miss Qinglan? She was carrying a pistol and rushed straight into your room. How did you manage to do that in such a dangerous situation?”

"Is that even necessary?"

Kitagawa Isao shrugged, but then, without thinking, he accidentally dropped Conan to the ground, causing the injury to be aggravated and resulting in a piercing scream.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Isao chuckled twice and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just a little exhausted. But... Conan, don't underestimate me! I'm someone who aspires to be a detective, so I can still protect myself!"
