Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"This is a secret of our police force and I can't tell you." Shancuncao immediately became serious, but then he smiled at Baiquanyi and said, "But it's definitely okay to tell Mr. Qin. After all, you are a criminal nemesis."

Baiquanyi and Conan looked at each other and said in unison: "As expected of you, you found a suitable reason so easily."

Shancuncao was beaming with joy, having been praised by his idol.

Catching fireflies with Xiaolan

Without any hesitation, Yamamura So turned his back to his colleague and whispered, "A murderer with extremely brutal methods has escaped from my colleague's hands. It is said that he is hiding in these woods... Oh, his name is Kiichiro Numabuchi."

"What? Kiichiro Numabuchi?" Conan's face changed drastically.

He was originally worried because Mitsuhiko's detective badge did not respond. Now when he heard that there was a murderer in the woods where Mitsuhiko was, and it was his old acquaintance from Osaka, Conan instantly tensed up.

Even though that incident happened ages ago, it was only a few months ago. You could even say it happened yesterday without feeling out of place.

"Keep your voice down." Yamamura Cao glanced at Conan with disdain, then asked Bai Quanyi cheerfully, "If it was Mr. Qin, then you would definitely be able to catch the murderer in the shortest time, right?"

Bai Quanyi turned his head and looked into the depths of the woods, and said softly, "Actually, even if you didn't ask me for help, I would have caught that guy."

"Why? Did Mr. Qin already know about it?" Shancuncao was a little confused.

Xiaolan came out at this time and said seriously, "Because a child ran into these woods, we came here to look for him, but we can't contact him now."

"Kid?" Shancuncao's smile disappeared this time.

Conan pointed at his eyes and said quickly: "That kid's name is Madoka Mitsuhiko, he's my classmate. He also ran away without telling us this time. I relied on the signals from the tracking glasses and the detective badge to confirm that he was in the woods..."

Conan's expression turned grim. "But for some reason, no matter how I called him, he just didn't respond."

"Detective badges and tracking glasses?" Yamamura Cao's attention was elsewhere. "Oh, I bought toys like this when I was a kid, but when I became a police officer, I realized that these toys are useless. I still have to rely on my own brain."

Conan almost asked, "Do you have a brain?", but fortunately he covered his mouth in time.

"No matter what, let's look for it first." Bai Quanyi rolled up his sleeves and quietly released the Platinum Star.

Conan immediately said, "Then let's go together?"

"No, I'm in a team by myself. You kids will be safer if you follow the police." Bai Quanyi waved his hand and walked in the opposite direction of Star Platinum.

Bai Quanyi walked alone for a while and soon realized that someone was following him.

He walked to an open place on purpose, suddenly stopped and turned back, and Xiaolan happened to stick her head out.

When their eyes met, the air suddenly became quiet.

Bai Quanyi shook his head and laughed, "I'm going to catch a murderer this time. It might be dangerous for you to follow me."

"No, I know karate!" Xiaolan said confidently.

"Forget it, then just follow me." Bai Quanyi waved at her.

Xiaolan held Baiquanyi's arm tightly, her posture was intimate and natural.

After thinking about it, he sent a text message to Fei Yingli, saying that he and Xiaolan were busy catching the murderer and would definitely not be able to make it to dinner today.

Kisaki Eri replied quickly, but the message only contained one sentence: Have you met a murderer again?

The use of "again" is very essential, at least Baiquan Yi, the "new god of death", cannot refute it.

"Will Mitsuhiko be in danger?" Xiaolan was actually very worried in her heart.

"No." Bai Quanyi said firmly.

After a while, Bai Quanyi heard "bang bang" sounds coming from not far away.

That was the sound of Star Platinum pounding the tree.

As long as the other party finds Kiichiro Numabuchi, they will send a signal.

Shiraizumi Mashi pulled Xiaolan quickly through the woods, and sure enough, they saw Kiichiro Numabuchi who was still handcuffed.

Mitsuhiko Madoka was sitting right in front of him, his forehead covered in sweat, his hands tightly clasped together, as if there was something in his palms.

"Brother Baiquanyi?" Yuangu Mitsuhiko immediately showed an expression of surprise when he saw Baiquanyi.

Kiichiro Numabuchi was stunned: "It's you?"

"You've been running for so long, and you can't even open the handcuffs?" Bai Quanyi ignored him and pointed at his handcuffs. "That shouldn't be the case. With your brain, opening the handcuffs should be a piece of cake, right?"

Kiichiro Numabuchi remained silent.

Shiraizumi confirmed that Mitsuhiko Madoka was not injured, and then continued, "It seems that my guess is correct. You don't really want to escape. But you came here specifically, so you must have something you want to do, right?"

Kiichiro Numabuchi reacted this time, his smile bitter. "What the news said is true. You are really smart. It's not unfair that I lost to you."

"Should I feel honored?" asked Baiquan Yi.

Kiichiro Numabuchi ignored Shiraizumi's joke and said calmly, "The reason I came here is because when I was a child, I often came here to catch fireflies, just like this child..."

He signaled with his eyes to Mitsuhiko Madoka next to him.

"Miss your childhood?" Bai Quanyi raised his eyebrows.

Kiichiro Numabuchi smiled faintly and said, "How can a murderer like me, with blood on my hands, have the right to reminisce about my childhood?"

Bai Quanyi understood: "This place once left you with very beautiful memories."

"Yes, every time I come here, my heart calms down. Even though I can't see anyone around me, I can always feel an invisible force soothing my soul." Kiichiro Numabuchi said with emotion.

"I can feel it too." Xiaolan suddenly spoke.

Kiichiro Numabuchi stared at her in amazement: "Really? You are truly an angel."

Kiichiro Numabuchi finished his complaints about Xiaolan, then roughly determined the location of Yamamura Cao and the others, and took the initiative to go over and surrender himself.

He had no intention of running away, so there was naturally no question of him taking action.

Besides, he knew that not only could he not beat Bai Quanyi, but now his hands were handcuffed, so he had no chance of fighting. It would be better for him to go back and surrender himself.

"He...he just left like that?" Yuangu Mitsuhiko was still sitting on the ground, his face full of surprise.

"What else? Do you think he will beat you up?" Bai Quanyi walked over and helped him up.

Mitsuhiko Madoka lowered his head in embarrassment: "I saw he was wearing handcuffs, and he was walking the same way as me, so I thought he was going to arrest me."

Xiaolan looked at his clasped hands with great interest: "Why do you keep this posture? Are you hiding something in your hands?"

"Well, it's something Ayumi likes." Mitsuhiko Madoka felt a little embarrassed.

"Fireflies?" Shiraizumi Mashi had figured it out. "No wonder Numabuchi Kiichiro said you were here to catch fireflies, too."

Yuan Gu Guangyan smiled, but the next second he was hit hard by Bai Quanyi.

"Brother Bai Quanyi, why did you hit me?" Even though his head hurt a little, he didn't dare to let go and touch his head, for fear that the firefly in his hand would run away.

Bai Quanyi leaned against a tree and said unhappily, "Do you know that because you left without a word and ran so far away, everyone is worried about you?"

He pointed toward the darkening woods behind him. "It's already past seven, and no one has had dinner yet. Do you know whose fault this is?"

Yuan Gu Guangyan immediately lowered his head in guilt and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't think too much about it. I was just focused on completing my plan..."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Xiaolan had to interrupt. Her curiosity was finally aroused, but she found that she only understood half of the conversation between Baiquanyi and the other person.

Mitsuhiko Madoka chuckled twice: "I came here specifically to catch fireflies, because Ayumi said before that if we can see fireflies and fireworks in the summer, then this summer vacation will be perfect."

Xiaolan understood this time: "Because you can't hold a fireworks display, you choose to secretly go out and catch fireflies alone?"

"Correct."

Bai Quanyi then asked, "The little girl who helps out at your flower shop said you were scolded. Is that true?"

Mitsuhiko Madoka's expression became even more awkward. "Yes, those two uncles were very opposed to others catching fireflies, so I had to sneak out. But because I was too nervous, I almost bought the wrong ticket."

"Wait, the little girl before said that they mentioned military generals. What does that mean?" Xiaolan asked.

Mitsuhiko Madoka looked up in surprise, then explained, "Military generals are actually quite easy to understand. Besides Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the most famous ones are the Genji and the Heike."

Xiaolan suddenly realized: "So they are talking about the Genji fireflies and the Heike fireflies?"

"That should be it." Shiraizumi Mashi shrugged, walked over to Madoka Mitsuhiko, and looked at the small backpack on his back. "Your sister mentioned before that you prepared bamboo leaf rice balls. They weren't prepared for your friends, but to use bamboo leaves as cushions for fireflies, right?"

Yuan Gu Guangyan blushed and dared not say a word. This time he told a lot of lies for his own plan.

"No matter how you look at it, this behavior is still a bit willful." Xiaolan also gave her comment.

Seeing Mitsuhiko's head drooping lower and lower, she couldn't bear to hurt a child, so she added, "But your plan is indeed quite romantic."

"Really?" Madoka Mitsuhiko became excited. "Sister Xiaolan, do you also think Ayumi will like my plan?"

Xiaolan said calmly: "I'm not Ayumi, so I don't know if she will like it, but if it were me, I would be in a good mood if I could see a lot of fireflies flying around."

"So how many have you caught now?"

“Only a few…”

Bai Quanyi glared: "How can a few be enough? I need at least twenty."

Mitsuhiko Madoka was surprised: "Huh? But fireflies are hard to catch."

"You don't understand this, right? You can ask me about these knowledge about the wild." Bai Quanyi said as he started to make a simple insect net.

Xiaolan squatted beside him, pressing her skirt with great interest: "Are you going to make weapons?"

"Yes, this is a weapon with super powers. It can help us catch fireflies easily. Isn't it amazing?"

"How amazing." Xiaolan had no doubt at all.

"Brother Shiraizumi, if we only use an insect net, the efficiency of catching fireflies will not be very high, right?" The knowledgeable Madoka Mitsuhiko questioned.

"Of course, this isn't enough." Bai Quanyi smiled. "Don't forget, it's summer, the hottest season for fireflies. It's during this season that female fireflies want to reproduce. We just need to catch a female and place it in a conspicuous place to attract many males."

After saying this, he turned around casually and met Xiaolan's eyes: "The scene you just described should be visible soon."

Ayumi wants to sleep with Shiraizumi Masu

When Xiaolan heard Bai Quanyi's words, she did not respond and felt very flustered.

When she saw Bai Quanyi walking towards her with a box of fireflies, her originally calm heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"Bai-kun is so nice..."

Xiaolan instinctively adjusted her breathing, but as Baiquanyi's footsteps got closer, her breathing eventually became disordered.

"While no one comes to disturb us now, let's enjoy your favorite scenes together?" Bai Quanyi took the initiative to speak.

Xiaolan turned her head away with a confused look in her eyes, unable to maintain even the most basic composure she had ever maintained. "I was just... just saying it casually. You don't need to take it so seriously."

"I know, but I believe you will still like this kind of picture in your heart." Bai Quanyi said as he opened the lid and turned off the flashlight.

The moment Xiaolan turned her head, countless fireflies flew out of the box like a flood. The sound of flapping wings was everywhere. The little light that gathered together became the most dazzling existence in the woods.

She couldn't help but look up, following the fireflies deeper into the woods.

Not until it completely disappeared did she look away with a sense of regret.

"It looks good, doesn't it?" Bai Quanyi's voice came to my ears.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Bai Quanyi folding his arms and whispering, "Did you catch fireflies when you were a child?"

She thought about it for a few seconds and shook her head, "No, Kudo Shinichi said it was childish to do such a thing."

"What's not childish then?"

"To be a detective like him is not childish."

"So you became a detective?"

"No, I don't want to switch gears detective."

"Thank goodness you weren't led astray by Kudo Shinichi."

At this moment, Xiaolan noticed that Baiquanyi's eyes were a little erratic. After hesitating for a moment, she asked the real question: "Why do you suddenly want to catch fireflies?"

"On the one hand, I want to make you happy, Xiaolan, and on the other hand, I kind of miss my childhood." Bai Quanyi looked at the dark sky and spoke slowly, "I was like this when I was a child. When I was with my good friends, there was always endless talk about the past. Later, those friends who used to be close to me inexplicably stopped contacting each other."

Xiaolan stared at him blankly, her tone softening slightly: "Many people are like this."

"Yes, so I was thinking, youth is a luxury, you should either squander it or cherish it. Because people will always grow old. When you are old, if you don't even have any good memories of your youth, wouldn't that be pitiful?" Bai Quanyi smiled at her.

Xiaolan remained silent, not knowing how to answer.

The conversation between Baiquan Yi and Xiaolan ended quickly.

Not only did she start to feel anxious, but Mitsuhiko also came running over to the two of them. Then Conan arrived with his men.

Naturally, Mitsuhiko couldn't avoid being complained by his friends.
