The department store has already gotten off work, and when Chen Xing comes in, the lights in the building are off.

While dialing the Garden's phone, he walked forward along the corridor.

"Chen Xing?" The phone was quickly answered, and Yuanzi's voice was as excited as usual.

"Where are you now?" Chen Xing asked.

"It's a bad luck. I'm in the stairwell on the third floor." Yuanzi muttered, "The lights are gone, it's so dark."

"I'll go there right away." Chen Xing quickened his pace and instructed: "Beware of your surroundings."

"What does it mean?" Yuanzi was puzzled, but she stopped sensibly and listened carefully to the sounds around her.

Then, without waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to reply, he heard footsteps coming from the upper floor, and the crisp sound of metal bumping on the steps.

Her face suddenly froze and Gan Gan said, "It seems that there is really a sound."

Chen Xing frowned and said, "Don't panic, run downstairs, I'm here!"

The garden ran away.

At the same time, the footsteps above the stairs suddenly accelerated, and the sound of metal sticks passing through the handrail of the stairs was extremely harsh.

Chen Xing touched the black, kicked open the door of the stairwell, and then heard the sound of running from above.

"Ah!" Yuanzi suddenly saw another person appearing in front of him. He was shocked, and his feet staggered and pounced forward.

"It's me." Chen Xing hugged her.

Yuanzi grabbed his sleeves tightly and gasped, feeling her chest pounding.

The next moment, she heard the strong wind from behind and her mind was suddenly empty.

However, the person in front of him moved faster. He raised his hand a second before the black shadow waved the stick in his hand. While avoiding the attack, his elbow hit the opponent's chin.

A muffled groan came from the darkness, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and metal sticks falling off their hands.

Yuanzi looked at Chen Xing's shoulder in a daze, and with the glimmer of light on his mobile phone screen, he could vaguely see a figure lying on the air conditioner.

"Is he..."

"Um."

"But why did he attack me?"

"Because he is a coward."

...

Officer Megu and others arrived soon. In fact, after Chen Xing ran away, Conan inferred the reason for his nervousness and told everyone present that the group rushed here.

Fortunately, it was timely and neither of them had anything to do.

"The motive is very simple, it is a father's guilt towards his child. Unfortunately, he distorted this injustice and treated the harm to innocent people as an vent." Police Officer Meguchi shook his head and said, "This is just a pitiful and hateful escape."

After this incident, everyone also knew what the strange thing that Officer Megu showed when he solved the case.

It was mentioned by Officer Meguro before the police left.

"I know you have a lot of questions in your heart." He looked at Yuanzi, who was still scared on his face, and Chen Xing, who was standing beside her, and said slowly: "That incident has been 20 years. It was when I was just a detective that I drove and ran into a high school girl and escaped."

Kogoro Mori was surprised, "I still have an impression of this case."

Officer Megu nodded and said, "The suspect's motive for the murder was entirely because he was intimidated by bad high school girls. He usually saw that these high school girls were alone and drove to chase after them."

"It's so despicable." Ran Mori despised.

"That's right, a custom-made uniform was very popular among bad girl groups, and the way to wear the pleated skirt was deliberately stretched out, but it became his goal.

At first, he would escape after hitting someone, but after hitting him several times, he would not give up if he didn't hit the victim to death.

So our police had to warn the high school girls nearby not to wear that kind of skirt outside, and then there was no such tragedy.

At this time, a high school girl said she was willing to be responsible for seducing the gangsters, and said that she did this to avenge her dead friend.”

When she said this, a touch of tenderness appeared in Police Officer Megu's eyes, but he immediately continued: "We naturally stopped it, but she was disgusted with the direction of the police and ignored our stop. In desperation, the police sent me to be responsible for protecting her safety."

He paused, even though it had happened for many years, he still couldn't help but clench his fists when recalling it.

Yuanzi subconsciously said, "What's next?"

Officer Megu took a deep breath, "But the suspect was red in his eyes and wanted to kill her with me. Later, I recorded the mark of the car and finally arrested the suspect. But the price paid..."

He hesitated for a moment and gently took off the hat that had never been taken in front of everyone. A scar could still be seen under the black hair on it.

"I only have this wound on my head, but the high school girl's head and body were hit hard, and she was covered in blood at the time."

Officer Megumi put his hat on his face, lowered his head, and his tone was very deep.

"So the police officer doesn't take off his hat because he is afraid that others will ask about the origin of the injury and then recall the case back then." Ran Maori said sadly.

"What a painful memory." Yuanzi whispered.

Kogoro Mouri patted Officer Memu on the shoulder as he understood, "No wonder my brother would be so opposed to Officer Sato seducing the criminals out. He didn't want anyone to sacrifice like that kind girl."

Hearing this, Officer Megu's eyes twitched and he slapped his hand away with some anger, "She was seriously injured, but who told you that she was dead?"

"Ah?" Conan was stunned.

Chen Xing's original sadness disappeared suddenly and he looked at the police officer in front of him speechlessly.

It is really because of the person's painful tone and expression just now that it is difficult for people to understand the fact that "that girl is still alive in the end."

"Ahem." Officer Meguchi cleared his throat, tidied up his bow tie, and slowly said: "She later became my wife."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

Officer Meguchi was very satisfied with their expressions and smiled and pressed his hat brim, "That's it."

Kogoro Mori looked at his left back and said speechlessly: "I remembered it. I heard that Police Officer Meguri's wife, Xiaobi, seemed to have been ridiculous for a while."

"So, the reason why Officer Meguchi didn't take off his hat..."

"It's because I don't want others to make fun of him and my wife after seeing it."

The two best friends looked at each other and covered their mouths and laughed softly.

...

"Thank you today." Yuanzi said embarrassedly on the way back.

"What else can I say thank you to me?" Chen Xing said without caring.

Yuanzi glanced at him, her eyes drooped, and her lips pursed and chuckled.

She heard Xiaolan say that he left the parking lot nervously at that time. In addition, the previous few times, he appeared beside him at the most dangerous time.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Xing said casually.

"It looks like a knight."

"Hmm?" Chen Xing made a puzzled nasal sound.

"Every time I'm in danger, I can show up." Yuanzi smiled and said, "It's like some kind of ability."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Maybe."

"From then, I'll try to be more sensible." Sonoko said, "Don't let myself be in danger anymore."

Chen Xing nodded in a natural tone, "I will be there."

Yuanzi spread her arms, ran forward happily, looked up at the night sky, and turned around under the stars, laughing pleasantly.

When the evening breeze passed, Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled softly.
