Chapter 513 Shinichi Kudo Falls Asleep
"Eh?"
On the other end, Ran Mouri was a little dazed when she heard Shinichi Kudo's voice on the phone.
She was certain that the voice coming from the other end of the phone was that of her childhood sweetheart.
But would Shinichi really say something like that?
Something feels off!
"Mr. Qi Ming, where are you now? Could you give the phone to Shinichi? I want to talk to him."
Qi Ming glanced at Shinichi Kudo.
This guy is now indiscriminately firing two pistols.
Qi Ming cleared his throat, and to prevent the gunshots from drowning out his voice, he pulled out a megaphone and shouted at Shinichi Kudo.
“Lucian, let me tell you, Alan, he…”
"Shut up!"
However, before Qi Ming could finish speaking, a burst of bullets flew towards him.
Shinichi Kudo's expression was ferocious as he shouted loudly at Qi Ming.
"Alan, Alan, even I don't have a special nickname for Xiaolan, you're not allowed to call her that!"
Qi Ming glanced at the spent cartridge case on the ground, then turned to Ran Mouri and said.
"Alan, it seems like Shinichi Kudo has gone a little crazy."
"..."
Ran Mouri also heard the gunshots coming from the phone.
Adding to what Shinichi Kudo just said, there's no doubt that the one who fired the shot was her childhood friend.
Ran Mouri was even more confused.
What exactly happened? Why did Shinichi fire the gun and say those things...?
Is he that possessive?
"Wait, let's video chat."
"Ah, yeah, okay."
Ran Mouri still held onto a sliver of hope that Qi Ming and Shinichi Kudo were just joking with her.
However, as soon as the video call connected, Ran Mouri's last glimmer of hope vanished completely.
"Both of you must disappear from here! Xiaolan only needs me in her eyes!"
"..."
Ran Mouri rubbed her eyes; she truly couldn't believe what she was seeing.
In the scene, Shinichi Kudo, with a ferocious expression, is firing two guns at another location.
The scene shifts, and Shinichi Kudo is attacking... Vermouth?!
"Mr. Qi Ming, what exactly happened?! What's wrong with Shinichi?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ming frowned.
That's a good question, but he didn't know how to answer it for the time being.
However, Qi Ming's brows relaxed a moment later, his eyes lit up, and he immediately found a perfect explanation.
"Alan, do you know that Shinichi Kudo killed someone before?"
"Wha, what?!"
"Ah, I was talking about that Cocoon game, you remember?"
"Oh, is that it..."
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief.
She also thought that Shinichi Kudo had done something bad behind her back.
No, even so, she shouldn't be so relieved...
Qi Ming glanced at Shinichi Kudo, who was passionately exchanging shots with Vermouth, and then said.
“Alan, when a righteous person does evil, a demon will be born in his heart.”
“We were actually assisting the police in their investigation, going deep into the criminals’ headquarters. Now we’ve fallen into a trap and been locked up,” Shinichi Kudo said, feeling guilty.
Qi Ming said in a sorrowful tone.
"So now, Shinichi Kudo is so consumed by guilt that his inner demons have surfaced, and he's gone insane!"
Qi Ming was quite happy.
Goodness, it's connected now.
From now on, whenever he teases Shinichi Kudo—no, whenever Shinichi Kudo has a fit of illness—he can use this excuse to explain it away!
"Wow, such a thing really happened..."
Ran Mouri understood this time, and a deep sense of heartache flashed in her eyes.
That's true. How could Shinichi not be in pain if a detective killed so many people?
He silently bears it all in his heart; that's the kind of person Shinichi Kudo is.
"Mr. Qi Ming."
Ran Mouri took a deep breath and said to Qi Ming.
"Can you find a way to make Shinichi hear my voice? Let me talk to him, and he'll definitely calm down!"
"!!"
Upon hearing Ran Mouri's words, Qi Ming's eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, do you know what you're saying?!
If I actually did that, it would be a huge disaster!
but……
He was hoping for something big to happen!
Qi Ming nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I have a speaker here. Xiaolan, just shout his name loudly now!"
"Ok!"
After Qi Ming connected his phone to the speaker, and after Ran Mouri took a deep breath.
Ran Mouri shouted loudly, her voice trembling with tears.
"Shinichi!"
"Shinichi!"
At the shooting range, the gunfire ceased, leaving only Ran Mouri's voice echoing.
Both Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo unconsciously released the triggers and turned their heads toward Qi Ming.
"Xiaolan..."
The ferocity on Shinichi Kudo's face vanished, and he stared blankly at Qi Ming's raised phone with his mouth slightly agape.
"Shinichi, it's me. Please, please stop doing this."
"Tell me if there's anything you can't figure out. Let's share this pain together. Don't bear it all alone!"
Ran Mouri's cries echoed in Shinichi Kudo's ears, and the latter's expression softened.
The blank expression slowly faded, and Shinichi Kudo frowned, his face showing pain.
However, his pain was not in fighting against his inner jealousy.
On the contrary, he is now insanely jealous, his face contorted with envy!
why?
Why is Xiaolan appearing on Qi Ming's phone screen?!
Why did Xiaolan call Qi Ming instead of herself?
There is no signal here.
Even if Xiaolan calls him, he can't answer.
But Shinichi Kudo no longer had the rationality to think about these things!
Jealousy surged within me like a tidal wave, and eventually, reason was completely consumed by this emotion.
Shinichi Kudo's expression turned fierce again. He threw away the pistol that had run out of bullets and picked up the shotgun hanging on the wall, aiming it at Qi Ming.
"Damn it, give Xiaolan back to me! Give Xiaolan back to me now!"
"Shinichi, what are you doing! Put down the gun!"
Ran Mouri cried out in terror.
Shinichi Kudo ignored him and kept his finger on the trigger.
boom!
The scattered projectiles flew towards Qi Ming.
Although Qi Ming could have stood still without any problems, he chose to run.
However, he was running backwards, since he still had to keep the camera pointed at Shinichi Kudo.
Qi Ming, you must die!
Seeing Qi Ming escape, Shinichi Kudo no longer cared about Vermouth and grabbed a shotgun, slung it over his shoulder, and chased after Qi Ming.
"..."
Ignored, Vermouth stared blankly at the scene, blinking her eyes, her jealousy reigniting within her.
ignore me?
Qi Ming actually started talking to Shinichi Kudo again, instead of talking to her!
Furthermore, Ran Mouri was talking to Shinichi Kudo and didn't care about her at all!
She gritted her teeth, her high heels clattering on the ground, and went to the weapons stand to grab two submachine guns, chasing after Shinichi Kudo.
"You two bastards must die!"
……
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots echoed again across the firing range.
With only two minutes left in the countdown, Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth's expressions grew increasingly frantic.
The number of spent cartridge cases on the ground kept piling up. Qi Ming, who was running backwards, tripped and almost dropped his phone.
"Mr. Qi Ming!"
I saw the screen shaking and heard Qi Ming exclaim "Holy crap!"
Ran Mouri thought Qi Ming had been injured by Shinichi Kudo, and asked anxiously.
"Mr. Qi Ming, are you injured? Are you alright?"
When Ran Mouri said those words, Shinichi Kudo stopped in his tracks.
After all, Qi Ming's phone was still connected to the speaker, and he could hear what Ran Mouri was saying clearly.
Shinichi Kudo kept hearing Ran Mouri's words echoing in his ears. His eyes were bloodshot, and blood was flowing from his nostrils to the ground.
Xiao Lan is actually... she's actually concerned about Qi Ming?!
Veins bulged, and Shinichi Kudo's killing intent toward Qi Ming had reached its peak. And then, in the next second!
The next second, he rolled his eyes, leaned back, and fell asleep.
My brain can't take it anymore.
