Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 48 Capturing the Serial Killer

Time passes slowly.

An hour later, nothing unusual was found, and the suspect was not seen nearby.

Seeing that it was getting darker, Inspector Megure spoke first: "Kudo, he hasn't shown up for so long. I have a lot of things to do, so I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department."

Seeing that Conan was about to speak, he quickly raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I will send people to keep watch here. After all, he is a serial killer and is extremely dangerous."

"Okay." Su Xingbo said with a smile, "Inspector Megure has really gone to a lot of trouble today, so we won't see you out."

"It's no trouble at all, see you later!"

The room quickly quieted down; Kogoro Mori was fast asleep, sleeping soundly.

Su Xingbai glanced at Xiao Lan and noticed that she was clinging tightly to the garden. Seeing this, he had no choice but to stay, since he had also drunk quite a bit of wine.

"Yuanzi, you can stay here with Xiaolan tonight. I can't drive because I've been drinking, so I'll just stay on the sofa in the living room for the night. That way, I can keep watch for you."

It's perfect that we can all go to school together tomorrow.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Su," Xiaolan said somewhat shyly.

Sonoko waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry, Ran, with Xingbai around, everything will be fine."

After saying that, Sonoko yawned, "I'm a little sleepy too, Ran, let's get some rest."

Xiaolan nodded. "Okay, goodnight then."

After the two returned to their room, Su Xingbo lay down on the sofa in the living room, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.

However, he did not actually fall asleep, but remained alert.

In the middle of the night, Su Xingbai suddenly heard some faint sounds. He immediately opened his eyes and sat up.

He listened intently and determined that the sound was coming from the doorway; it must be the sound of someone going up the stairs.

Su Xingbo quietly approached the door and peered through the peephole. He saw a dark figure trying to open it. His heart tightened; he realized it might be the culprit. Su Xingbo quickly grabbed a baseball bat from the side, ready to defend himself.

The shadowy figure sensed someone and turned to flee. Su Xingbo, without a second thought, gave chase. A fierce pursuit ensued in the darkness.

Knowing there were police officers nearby, he quickly shouted.

"Help! A serial killer is here!"

Upon hearing the words "murderer," the dark figure ran for his life, even losing a shoe in the process.

Unfortunately, he was captured by the police less than 100 meters away.

Oh ho, it's someone I know.

Takagi handcuffed the murderer, and one of the policewomen stepped forward and patted Su Xingbai on the shoulder, "Young man, well done! Thanks to you, we were able to catch him so quickly this time."

Su Xingbai smiled. "It's what I should do. But, aren't you neglecting your duties, letting this murderer slip up to the second floor?"

Takagi explained, "We've been patrolling around here, and we came right away when we heard you shouting. Luckily you were alert, otherwise you might have been in danger."

At this point, other police officers came over and began questioning the perpetrator.

Pull off his mask and hat, tsk tsk tsk, it's truly an eyesore.

His face looked like it had been scratched by a dog.

Takagi couldn't help but ask, "Why did you kill him?"

The murderer sneered, "They all deserve to die. Women who wear miniskirts are naturally promiscuous. Killing them is doing a good thing for society!"

"Hahahaha, hahaha." After saying that, he laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

Su Xingbai couldn't help but shake his head. This man was obsessed. It seemed he had been hurt badly by a woman, or he was a psychopath.

P.S. (First of all, wearing a miniskirt is someone's freedom, and we shouldn't criticize them for it. Why are all the bikinis on the beach okay?)

However, since this person was arrested, the matter was settled, and Xiaolan could finally relax.

"Take him away, bring him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for proper interrogation!" Takagi ordered.

"understand!"

Afterwards, the police took the murderer away, and Su Xingbai felt a sense of relief. After saying goodbye to Gao Mu, he returned home and found that Xiao Lan had woken up and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at him with a terrified expression.

"Xiao Lan, don't be afraid, the murderer has been caught," Su Xingbo comforted her.

Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Su Xingbo. "Thank you, Xingbo. I really don't know what would have happened if it weren't for you."

Su Xingbo harbored no ill intentions at this moment. He gently patted Xiaolan's back, "No need to thank me. Protecting you is what I should do. Now that everything's alright, we can sleep peacefully."

After saying that, he helped Xiaolan back to her room, saw her lying on the bed, and then turned off the light.

Despite having experienced a harrowing ordeal, she can finally sleep peacefully.

He lay back down on the sofa, and at this moment, his nerves relaxed, and he fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, the sky was overcast.

Just like Lin Daiyu, her appearance, seemingly about to cry but not quite, evokes pity.

Yesterday the sun was scorching hot; today it's cloudy with rain.

After Su Xingbo woke up, he glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past 7 o'clock. No one else was awake yet, so he casually washed his face with water.

Then he went out and bought some breakfast. When he came back, everyone was already up.

He smiled and said to everyone while carrying breakfast, "You all got up at just the right time. I just bought breakfast and came back. Eat it while it's hot, and then we'll go to school together."

"You've really gone to so much trouble," Xiaolan said, bowing in gratitude.

Because it was pajamas, the scenery was truly captivating.

"Hmm," Su Xingbai thought to himself, "Not bad, at least a C, maybe even a D."

Just as he was engrossed in watching, Xiaolan looked up when he didn't respond and saw Su Xingbo grinning mischievously at the view of her chest.

She looked down, her face flushed, she grabbed her collar and ran back to her room.

I thought he was a good person just yesterday, but I never expected him to be such a pervert who actually spied on her.

In other words, Su Xingbai didn't know. If he did know, he would definitely talk nonsense with a straight face. He is a gentleman and never peeks. He looks at things openly and honestly!

At this time, Yuanzi finished washing up and sat down, asking questions while eating.

"Hey, where's Xiaolan? Didn't she come out with me? I've already washed up, why hasn't she gone in to wash up yet?"

He shrugged and said, "I don't know. He suddenly went back inside. I guess he was too cold because he wasn't wearing enough clothes, so he went back to put on more."

Sonoko looked puzzled. "Is it cold today? I don't feel it. It's really strange."

When Xiaolan, who had just opened the door, heard what he said, her face turned pale. How could he say such things so casually! He was the one who had taken advantage of her, yet he was blaming them for it.
