I, the Buddhist who raises leopards in the Conan world

"The destination is Tokyo Bay Hotaru parking lot!" Chianti shouted as he rolled down the window.

The three beasts roared at the same time - "Boom!!!" The Dodge Challenger rushed out first like black lightning, followed closely by the Maserati. Shen Yuan chuckled and suddenly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The Porsche's turbocharged engine burst out with amazing thrust, and the two were instantly pressed into their seats.

Tokyo's neon lights turned into flowing light bands outside the car window.

Chianti took the lead on the straights with brute force, but had to slam on the brakes at the first tight corner.

Shen Yuan didn't even blink, and turned the steering wheel sharply. The Porsche cut into the inside line at a perfect angle, and the tires rubbed against each other with a sharp scream.

"Beautiful!" he whistled.

In the rearview mirror, Bourbon's Maserati was clinging to him like a ghost.

The two cars chased each other on the highway, constantly overtaking panicked ordinary vehicles.

At the last hairpin turn, Porsche suddenly overtook on the outside, and Maserati positioned itself on the inside. The two cars drifted through the corner almost at the same time, and the friction between their tires made a sharp scream.

Chianti directly crashed through the buffer barrier and took a shortcut.

In the end - Bourbon's Maserati was the first to rush through the toll booth of Haiying Parking Lot, Shen Yuan's Porsche was second with a difference of half a point, and Chianti's Dodge Challenger arrived third with a lot of scratches on the car.

Shen Yuan lowered the car window, and the night wind, carrying the scent of the sea tide, rushed into the car.

He winked at Chianti, who looked unhappy, and his silver-gray hair swayed slightly in front of his forehead: "Thanks for letting me win~ Had a blast tonight!" As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator.

The Porsche's turbocharged engine erupted with a deafening roar, and the silver-grey car's silhouette tore through the night sky like a sharp arrow, leaving only Chianti's angry shouts dissipated in the sea breeze————"Who told you to?! You little bastard, just wait for me!!!" Gin sat in the passenger seat, the newly lit cigarette between his fingers was blown by the strong wind, sparks flying everywhere.

He looked through the rearview mirror at the rapidly shrinking night view of Tokyo Bay in the rear window, and the taillights of the distant Maserati were reflected in his dark green pupils.

The Porsche turned the corner and disappeared completely at the end of the dark road.

Chapter 120 Rescue James 1

Shen Yuan received an invitation from the Junior Detective Team to go to the circus to watch "Paul and Annie's Animal Show".

The circus tent was filled with the sweet smell of popcorn. Shen Yuan sat in the slightly crowded audience seats, his fingers tapping unconsciously on his knees.

The dazzling spotlight drew a bright circle on the center stage, and the announcer's exaggerated voice exploded from the loudspeaker: "Ladies and gentlemen, next is the most exciting animal show of the night!" Then the audience stands cheered, and the three little ones beside Shen Yuan also seemed very excited.

First up was a group of poodles wearing little skirts.

At the trainer's command, they lined up neatly and placed their front paws on the abacus to pretend to calculate.

"What is three plus two?" the trainer asked loudly, and the leading poodle immediately barked five times.

The audience burst into applause, but Shen Yuan just raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was nothing new.

Next was a performance of a monkey riding a unicycle.

A capuchin monkey wearing a red top hat expertly balanced on a unicycle, even freeing its paws to catch a colorful ball thrown by the trainer.

Then, dry ice smoke blew out from both sides of the stage, and three "pandas" dyed in black and white came on stage wobbling on mini bicycles.

Shen Yuan's mouth twitched. What the hell was this? A bear cosplaying as a panda? ...Another series of performances by the little animals.

Suddenly, "Snap!" A crisp whip sound pierced the air, and the entire circus fell silent in an instant.

The lights in the center of the stage suddenly went out, leaving only a spotlight shining on a huge iron cage covered with black cloth.

The iron cage shook slightly, and a deafening lion roar came from inside, scaring several children in the front row and making them shrink back.

Ayumi excitedly grabbed Shen Yuan's sleeve, her face flushed red: "Brother Shen! It's 'Leon'! The circus's most famous star is about to appear!" With the sound of passionate drums, a beautiful animal trainer in a red tight leather jacket and a long whip appeared elegantly.

She saluted the audience, then ripped off the black cloth covering the cage—revealing a majestic white lion.

Its snow-white fur shone with a pearly luster under the light, and its thick mane draped over its shoulders and neck like an emperor's cloak.

Its amber eyes are bright and sharp, and when it raises its head and roars, its sharp fangs are exposed and its strong muscles are clearly visible under its fur.

The entire circus was instantly boiling with applause and screams.

"Dear audience, please enjoy Leon's unique skill - Flame Leap!" the tamer announced loudly.

The staff quickly set up three blazing fire rings on the stage. Each fire ring was two meters in diameter. The flames twisted and danced in the air, emitting scorching heat waves.

Leon walked out of the cage with steady steps, and with every step he took, the lines of his muscles flowed gracefully under his snow-white fur.

The trainer raised his whip and cracked it in the air, making a loud sound.

Leon immediately broke into a jog, and suddenly accelerated ten meters away from the first fire circle. He suddenly exerted force with his hind legs, and his strong body soared into the air, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

The flames reflected on its snow-white fur, as if giving it a golden halo.

When it passed through the ring of fire, its mane danced in the heat wave, like a mythical beast descending to the earth.

"That's amazing!" Ayumi clapped her hands excitedly, staring at the stage without blinking.

"Yeah! So handsome, but Lightning is still the most handsome!" Yuantai added.

After landing, Leon did not pause at all, and immediately adjusted his posture and rushed towards the second fire circle.

This time, when it jumped, it suddenly twisted its body in the air and passed through the fire ring with a beautiful side spin, causing the audience to burst into exclamations.

The last fire ring was set up higher, and Leon suddenly stood up while sprinting, waving his front paws in the air, then leaped over with a thunderous force, and let out a roar that shook the whole audience when he landed.

The entire circus instantly erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

The trainer walked up, gently stroked Leon's mane, and fed him a piece of meat as a reward.

Leon lowered his head meekly and rubbed his head against the trainer's hand, completely losing his majestic look from before.

The circus show ended, and Shen Yuan followed the crowd out of the circus tent. Conan and Huihara Ai walked in front of Shen Yuan with their hands in their pockets, and their ears were filled with the excited shouts of Yuanta and others.

"That panda riding a bicycle is so funny!" Genta waved his hands, the flesh on his face trembling with his movements. "And the puppy can actually do addition and subtraction when doing arithmetic problems!" Ayumi held the cotton candy she had just bought, her face filled with smiles. "I think those little rabbits are the cutest. They can even dance in their little skirts!"

"Brother Shen, thank you for accompanying us to the circus today.

Originally, it was Dr. Agasa who promised Genta and the others," Conan's mouth twitched suddenly in the middle of his words.

He remembered that the doctor's new invention went out of control again last night and almost razed the villa to the ground. He could only say helplessly: "But the doctor needs to repair the villa today!" Shen Yuan waved his hand with a faint smile on his face: "It's okay, I'm relatively free now anyway.

It's been nice hanging out with you guys!" But inwardly, I was furiously complaining: What the hell is going on with this timeline? Didn't I usually skip from Monday to Friday, or even start the next week? But this Wednesday's regular research group meeting hasn't even been here for half a month. It's outrageous.

Shen Yuan rubbed his chin, a vague sense of foreboding—did this time freeze mean problems would arise at next Wednesday's group meeting? The three children's discussion wasn't over when Guangyan expressed his opinion. "I think Leon's fire-jumping performance was the best!" Ayumi pulled an exquisite white lion phone charm from her pocket and waved it in the sunset. "Of course, Leon is the star of the show! Look, I even got a limited-edition Leon charm!" The white lion on the charm was so lifelike that the texture of its mane was clearly visible.

Genta and Mitsuhiko immediately came forward, their eyes sparkling: "Really! What an exquisite pendant!" Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Haibara Ai: "By the way, during the intermission just now, Yoshida-san and Haibara-san went to the convenience store to buy it, right? I heard that you have to draw a blind box to get this, Yoshida-san is so lucky!" Conan looked at Haibara Ai beside him in surprise when he heard this: "Hey, hey, I didn't expect you to be interested in such cute peripherals?" Haibara Ai calmly raised her mobile phone, on which hung an identical white lion pendant: "This is the one Yoshida helped me draw, is there any problem?" The pendant swayed gently at her fingertips, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Conan curled his lips and muttered softly: "I always feel that it doesn't match your cold temperament..." While chatting and laughing, the few of them had already walked to the exit of the circus.

Just then, a loud noise was heard.

I saw a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a well-fitting suit surrounded by a group of reporters, with flash cameras flashing continuously.

The man looked embarrassed and was stammering in his broken Japanese to answer the reporters' questions.

Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the man and said, "Ah! It's Mr. Randy Hawke!" Conan turned around in confusion: "Mitsuhiko, do you know him?" Mitsuhiko immediately opened the brochure in his hand and pointed to the introduction of the character on it: "It says here that Mr. Randy Hawke is the investor of this circus performance. He is from Oklahoma, USA, and is a famous oil tycoon.

'Paul' and 'Annie' are the names of his son and daughter!" As he said this, he handed Conan the manual, on which was printed Mr. Hawke's photo and introduction.

Ayumi looked at Mitsuhiko in admiration: "Tsuburaya-kun knows so many words, so amazing!" Mitsuhiko scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's, it's okay..." Conan quickly browsed the manual and suddenly noticed a line of small words: "'Mr. Hawke is still learning Japanese'... It seems that he is in trouble now!" Looking at Mr. Hawke who was forced to retreat step by step by the reporters, Conan pushed his glasses and said, "Let's go and help him out!"

Chapter 121 Rescue James 2

Conan and his friends successfully rescued "Mr. Randy Hawke" who was surrounded by reporters and brought him to the shade of the trees across the street.

The blond middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said in a heavily accented Japanese, "Thank you so much! Those reporters got the wrong person... I'm not Mr. Hawke!"

"Eh?" Mitsuhiko flipped through the brochure in confusion, comparing it to the photos. "But you and Mr. Hawke look alike!" Ayumi tilted her head curiously. "Then, uncle, why are you here? Are you here to see the animal show, too?" The blond man smiled gently and pulled out an exquisite white lion pendant from his suit pocket. "I came here specifically to buy this!"

"Wow! Uncle has this too!" Ayumi immediately held up the same pendant she had just bought and shook it excitedly. "So Uncle is also a fan of Leon?" Conan's mouth twitched slightly: "..." - Are even adults starting to collect this kind of peripherals now? Am I finally behind the times? Shen Yuan, standing nearby, felt a sharp pain in his ears as he listened to the other party's poor Japanese pronunciation.

At this time, Conan suddenly said: "Uncle just pronounced 'can't' as 'kant', which is the standard English pronunciation... Are you from London?" The blond man was obviously stunned for a moment, then showed an appreciative smile: "You're quite clever, young man." He stretched out his hand: "My name is James Blake.

You are...? " Conan puffed out his chest and answered confidently: "My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective!"

"We are detectives too!" The three little ones immediately raised their hands and shouted in unison, "We are the Junior Detective Team! We specialize in helping people solve cases!" Ayumi held up her detective badge and said, "Uncle, look, this is our detective badge, it can even communicate!" James took the badge and blinked, suddenly realizing something and said, "Oh, detectives? So you must be... the Baker Street Irregulars?" He turned his gaze to Shen Yuan, the only adult present, and smiled, "Young man, you must be the equivalent of Sherlock Holmes!" Shen Yuan calmly replied, "The children are just joking, Mr. Black. Don't take it seriously." The three little ones looked at each other, bewildered: "..." Conan explained helplessly, "He's saying we are like Sherlock Holmes's intelligence network, the children living on Baker Street!" Ayumi tilted her head: "Baker Street?" Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up: "Ah! That's where Sherlock Holmes lives!" Genta scratched his head: "So we are treated as errand boys?" James adjusted his tie and continued in English with a British accent: "Actually, I came here to meet someone, but with those reporters bothering me, I couldn't find my companion. Have you seen a long-haired man?" (Actually, I came here to meet someone, but was disturbed by those reporters.

Did you see a man with long hair?) Shen Yuan shook his head: "Sorry, I didn't notice."

) James sighed slightly disappointedly: "Well then, I suppose I'll have to arrange another time." (Then I'll find another time later.)

He bent down again and said kindly to the children, "To thank you for your bravery just now, how about I treat you to lunch?"

"Great!" Yuan Tai jumped up immediately, his eyes sparkling, "Then we'll be friends from now on!" James smiled and nodded; "Then it's settled.

I'm going to the parking lot to get something. Wait here for me.

I'm not very good at driving in Japan, so I can only ask you to eat nearby!" However, the wait lasted for twenty minutes.

Yuan Tai kicked the pebbles on the ground impatiently. "Could Uncle James have lied to us and then run away?" Shen Yuan was texting Gin at the time: [Boss~ Another American with calluses on his hands is here to meet the long-haired man in Japan. Interested?] The message showed as delivered, but unread. It seemed Gin was busy.

"Let's go to the parking lot and take a look!" Shen Yuan suggested, putting away his phone. "If they really have left, we can arrange other activities.

If you run into any trouble, maybe I can help!" They walked around the parking lot but couldn't find James.

Yuan Tai yelled at the top of his lungs, "Uncle James! Uncle James, where are you?!" At this moment, several little boys playing football came over with their balls. One of them, wearing a baseball cap, asked, "Are you looking for a foreigner with a beard?" Yuan Tai nodded quickly, "Yeah! Did you see where Uncle James went?" The little boy pointed to an alley next to the parking lot and said, "That uncle and two uncles in long coats went that way!"

"Thank you!" After expressing their gratitude, Conan and the others immediately ran towards the alley.

Shen Yuan put his hands in his pockets and followed slowly behind.

When he arrived, Conan and his friends were gathered together, studying something.

When I got closer, I realized it was the white lion pendant left by James.

"There are bloodstains on this tape..." Conan's expression was solemn, "Mr. James may be in danger!" Haibara Ai frowned slightly, and said calmly: "The code word of this 'P&A'...could it be 'Pistol & Assassin'?" (Pistol and assassin) She was very bothered by the fact that the man named James just said that he was waiting for a man with long hair. She happened to know two men with long hair, and...they were not good people.

Genta's eyes widened: "Ah? That's too scary! I think 'P&A' should be 'Pro-wrestling & Anpan' (professional wrestling and red bean pancakes)! Or 'Parfait & Mitsumame' (parfait and red beans)!" Mitsuhiko pushed his chin and analyzed carefully: "It could also be 'Parking Area' (parking lot)? Or 'Perm & Afro' (curly hair and afro)? Could it be that Uncle James was kidnapped by people with curly hair and afro?" Conan lowered his head in thought, with no clue for a moment.

At this time, Shen Yuan spoke slowly: "'P&A'...could it mean 'P' and 'A' - 'Panda'?"

"Ah?! It's true now!" Yuan Tai was shocked, "Could it be that Uncle James was kidnapped by a panda?!" Conan was instantly awakened by Shen Yuan's reminder. He looked up suddenly, adjusted his glasses and said, "No, in the UK, police cars are usually black and white, and are often nicknamed 'Panda Car'. It means that Mr. James got on a police car!" Yuan Tai scratched his head: "Could it be that Uncle James is a criminal and was arrested?" Conan half-mooned his eyes, and silently complained in his heart: Mr. James is a white European, and he might even be mistaken for Randy Hawke, the American oil tycoon. The Japanese police should not have the courage to arrest anyone casually... He took out his mobile phone and sighed: "Anyway, I'll call Officer Takagi to confirm the news..." After hanging up the phone, Conan shook his head: "Officer Takagi confirmed that no patrol car has been here today.

It seems that Mr. James is really in danger and may have been kidnapped by fake police officers!" Shen Yuan just wanted to complain, you really have a strong network of connections, even if this kind of thing was really done by the Japanese police, it should be kept secret, Gao Mu really knows everything about you.

Chapter 122 Rescue James 3

Conan and his friends were lost in thought, thinking about how to find James's whereabouts, when Ayumi suddenly said, "Ah! My detective badge... I just showed it to Uncle James, and he hasn't returned it to me yet..." She blinked her big eyes and looked at Conan.

Conan reacted instantly and immediately pressed the tracking function of his glasses. The lens immediately displayed the signal location of Ayumi's badge - "Shengmao Highway", and it was moving! Shen Yuan nodded slightly and took out the car keys from his pocket. "Let's go first... Fasten your seat belts!" The car drove out of the parking lot smoothly and turned towards Shengmao Highway.

Conan stared at the tracking signal on his glasses. "About 65 kilometers per hour, 3.2 kilometers away from us!" He adjusted his sitting position. "Looking at the movement trajectory, it should be heading west along the outer ring road!"

"Everyone sit tight, I'm going to speed up!" Shen Yuan said, and lightly flicked the turn signal lever with his right hand, and the car merged smoothly into the fast lane.

The T8 engine remains quiet at high speeds, with only the slight swing of the tachometer needle indicating ample power reserves.

When Shen Yuan and the others arrived at the ramp of Shengmao Highway, Ayumi's detective badge lost its signal, probably because the badge was out of battery.

"Damn it!" Conan clenched his fists, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes behind the lenses, "The battery is out... Which way should we go now?" Just as everyone fell into a brief silence, the three little ones suddenly pointed out the car window and shouted, "Ah! It's Miss Yumi!" Miyamoto Yumi was standing not far away, holding a recording board, conducting routine inspections of passing vehicles.

Conan's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Brother Shen, please stop by the roadside! Miss Yumi and I are very familiar with each other, I'll go and ask what's going on!" Shen Yuan parked the car by the roadside. He didn't get out of the car, but just watched through the window as Conan trotted over, looking up and talking to Miyamoto Yumi.

Yumi Miyamoto actually stopped what she was doing and started thinking seriously about Conan's problem.

What's even more outrageous is that the vehicles waiting in line for inspection behind were of extremely high "quality". Not a single one of them honked their horn to urge them on. They all waited quietly.

Shen Yuan: "..." Another weird buff, is this considered a patience buff? Shen Yuan took out his phone and looked at the message sent by Gin: [Where] replied: [The beautiful country girl was kidnapped by fake police. On the highway to Saitama County, the boss can find the best viewing platform for him.

ps-Location] After sending the message, he put away his phone and just in time saw Conan jogging back, opening the car door and jumping in.

"Brother Shen!" Conan brought back useful information, "Miss Yumei said that a patrol car just went towards Saitama Prefecture, and the person sitting in the car was a foreigner!" He pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected a sharp light, and he said confidently: "That must be Mr. James!" Shen Yuan didn't say much, just said "um" softly and started the engine.

The space gray Volvo slid silently into the driveway and sped off towards Saitama Prefecture.

Soon, a black and white patrol car appeared in the traffic ahead.

"Found it!" Conan immediately pressed the magnification function of his glasses and locked the license plate. "I'll confirm it now!" He quickly dialed Officer Takagi's number. After a few brief exchanges, Conan hung up the phone with a serious expression: "Sure enough, this car is not in the police system. It's fake!" Officer Takagi obviously realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately contacted the Saitama County Police Department for assistance in intercepting it.

Shen Yuan did not speed up, but kept a safe distance and followed steadily behind the fake police car.

At this moment, his eyes swept across the rearview mirror - a Chevrolet C-1500 appeared behind him at some point, also keeping a distance from him, following silently like a ghost.

The corners of Shen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

————The “Silver Bullet” appeared.

Three Saitama Prefecture police cars, red and blue lights flashing, came roaring from the opposite lane.

The fake police car obviously sensed the danger and accelerated suddenly, with the engine making a harsh roar.
