Chapter 24 Fei Yingli

Walking out of the narrow and stuffy underground, Su Beixun took a deep breath, and the cool air with moist water vapor rushed into his nostrils, suppressing the stuffiness in his body. He turned back to take a last look at the orphanage with lights on, then turned around and strode away.

After getting the bag of maple leaf gold coins, at least I can repair the building I burned down.

He thought so.

Taking out the car keys from a bodyguard, they easily found the hidden car in the nearby mountains and forests.

Su Beixun took out his cell phone and called Vodka.

"No need to wait for me. The ID card is with you. You also filmed Jiang Koichikawa's death. Go find Gin and report back."

"then you……"

Su Beixun hung up the phone directly. He was in no mood to chat. He backed the car out of the forest and drove towards Beihua Town along the road he had taken from Jiang Gu Yichuan.

He held the steering wheel casually, lost in his own thoughts.

The fact that Jiang Gu Yichuan died cannot be concealed! When the police investigate, I and Vodka, who came to the orphanage this morning, will definitely be suspected!

He can't throw away his apparently clean identity yet.

It is also because of this that he recorded the entire process of Zero killing Ikawa Etani, which is the most powerful evidence to prove that he is not the murderer.

But even so, it doesn't mean that everything is fine.

The police need evidence for everything they investigate, but it’s different for the public security department.

Toru Amuro definitely knew that Jiang Gu Ikawa's death was related to Su Beixun. It was very likely that when the police summoned Su Beixun, he asked the police to take him away and secretly detain and interrogate him - after all, Su Beixun was related to the Black Organization.

In order to avoid this, he had to make the matter bigger before the police intervened - the bigger the matter, the more widely it spread, and the more he could act according to procedures. So Jiang Gu Yichuan's body could not be taken away, because death was harder to cover up than disappearance!

The wheels of the luxury car stumbled on the rugged dirt road. Su Beixun had no intention of cherishing it. He came to the straight section, stepped on the accelerator with one foot, took out his mobile phone with one hand and lowered his head to operate it.

He first sent a photo of "Eko Ikawa holding a child" to an acquaintance in the Hokkaido black market, transferred 100 million yen to him, and asked him to find a way to publish the photo in the newspaper and spread it across the country as soon as possible.

After paying the money, Su Beixun felt somewhat distressed.

If this photo was held tightly in hand, many people would be willing to pay for it, but now, for the sake of safety, I have to lose money to promote it.

He then aired another call.

After waiting for a while, a gentle female voice came from the other side: "Hello, this is the law firm of Eri Kisaki. How can I help you?"

"Are you Lawyer Fei? I have a request for you. Can we meet in private?"

The female voice said gently, "I am Attorney Hime's assistant, Midori Kuriyama. Please wait a moment."

Through the receiver, Su Beixun could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps and the door opening. A few minutes later, Fei Yingli answered the phone.

"Hello, I'm Eri Kisaki. What would you like me to do?"

Su Beixun didn't have time to respond, and suddenly a scene of him crashing into a tree and killing the car and the driver appeared in front of him. In an instant, he turned the steering wheel with his right hand, and the tires rubbed against the ground with a sharp scream, and then he dodged the tall tree standing in the blind spot of his vision with a distance of less than five centimeters.

Su Beixun continued to focus on the phone, not caring about the danger just now at all - he had absolute confidence in his prediction of [disaster]!

So he continued calmly: "I have an important matter concerning my personal safety and I need your help, lawyer. Would it be convenient for us to meet tomorrow?"

Hibiki Eri frowned as she listened to the voice on the phone: "Wait a minute, are you driving?"

Her voice became serious: "Sir, according to Japanese law, if you use your mobile phone while driving, you will be detained for up to three months or fined up to 50,000 yen!"

Su Beixun didn't take it seriously, but instead exclaimed: "You are worthy of being the undefeated queen of the legal world. I am now more and more confident in entrusting you with this matter... Don't worry, my friend is driving, and I am in the back seat of the car."

Hibiki was a little suspicious, but she had no evidence, so she could only say, "Is that so... But I have some personal matters to take care of tomorrow, do you have time now?"

Su Beixun's voice was mixed with some distress: "It's really a headache. I'm still a few hours away from the city by car... Don't you have time tomorrow?"

"That's not the case. I need to meet an important person tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be free after ten in the morning."

Su Beixun thought about it and felt that he roughly guessed who the other party wanted to meet, so he smiled and said, "That's great! Can we meet at ten o'clock? To be honest, this matter is really important, please!"

"This..." Hibiki hesitated, but after hearing the other party's seriousness, she said, "Okay, I'll send you the location of a store later. I'll wait for you at the door around ten o'clock."

“Thank you so much!”

Su Beixun narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he was planning something bad. ##
Early morning at the Maori Detective Agency.

As usual, Kogoro Mori was drunk on the table.

Conan stopped Mao Lilan who was about to go out and asked, "Sister Xiaolan, did Su Beixun really not go to school yesterday?"

Mao Lilan squatted down to correct him: "Really, you should call someone older than you brother... But why are you so interested in him? You have been asking questions since school yesterday."

Conan held his head, grabbing any opportunity to change Mao Lilan's opinion: "It was Shinichi who told me. He said that Su Bei...brother is not a good person. Sister Xiaolan, you must stay away from him!"

Mao Lilan was full of resentment when she heard the familiar name: "Shinichi, what an idiot! He said he was going to investigate a case and then he just walked away without saying anything. Now I can't even get through on the phone... I don't want to care about what this reasoning idiot says!"

Conan's mouth twitched. This topic was difficult for him to continue!

I quickly changed the subject: "Sister Xiaolan, you are dressed so formally, where are you going?"

Mao Lilan suddenly felt guilty. She wanted to say that she was going on a date with Shinichi, but then she thought of what she had just said and said, "Well, I made an appointment with Sonoko to go shopping yesterday... Dad got drunk again today, can I ask Conan to look after the house?"

"Okay~!"

Conan waved his hand and watched Mouri Ran's back disappear around the corner, his face suddenly turning ugly.

Something is wrong!
Xiaolan and Sonoko never dress so formally when they meet!

He held his chin in his hand and thought, and gradually became worried.

A girl dressed so beautifully is probably going to meet the opposite sex!
Could it be that... Xiaolan is going to date another boy?! She didn't tell me the truth because she was afraid that I (Edogawa Conan) would call me (Kudo Shinichi) after I found out?!

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He could no longer sit still and followed in a hurry.

##
Cafe.

In order to coax Conan to go home, Mao Lilan went out to buy his favorite cake.

Conan sat alone, staring at the glass door. He vowed to find out who Xiaolan was dating! What kind of monster is this?
After eliminating the bad-tempered lady, the college student who came to write a paper, the beautiful lawyer, and the big man sitting at the counter, his eyes were fixed on the figure who came in last.

She was wearing a loose white cotton short-sleeved shirt and a black-striped jacket with a crimson background. Her face was fair and her hair was slightly damp, as if she had just washed it.

The man scanned the cafe with his red pupils, found an empty seat and sat down. He smiled gently at the waitress beside him and said, "A cup of coffee, please... and a sandwich."

The waitress blushed and ran to the counter.

Conan looked at his face and felt like he was struck by lightning!

Su Beixun?
Why is he here?
Could it be... Xiaolan...

Do not!no!

Shaking his head hard to get rid of the bad thoughts in his mind, Conan ran to sit opposite Su Beixun and said to him cutely: "Hey, big brother, are you here alone?"

Su Beixun didn't seem surprised to see him. He slowly stirred the coffee with a copper spoon and asked calmly, "Little brother, do I know you?"

Conan was choked and tried to make up an excuse, stuttering: "I... I heard from Brother Shinichi that he has a new transfer student whose pupils are blood red... This color is very rare... I just saw your eyes, so... So I think you are the brother Su Bei he mentioned."

Su Beixun looked curious: "Oh? You know Kudo-san... I'm curious, what does he say about me in private?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Conan's forehead: "He...he said that you...are...a very mysterious person, and it seems that you have many secrets..."

"is it?"

Su Beixun rested his elbows on the table with his chin propped up, squinting at him with no expression on his face.

Conan laughed quickly and continued to ask: "Big brother, you still haven't told me why you came here?"

"Because I have an appointment to meet someone here."

Conan's face suddenly turned pale.

Su Beixun smiled and said to him deliberately: "She is a very beautiful woman."

"..."

　Whenever I see a Japanese lawyer, I think of "Hand Covering" written by Xia. This novel is really good... His last chapter is still unforgettable to me.
