    Kill in the dark, stop the smoke

    The night wind brought cool moisture across the cheeks, and the vehicle drove smoothly away from the abandoned warehouse, leaving the smoke and chaos far behind.

    The shadows at the top of the warehouse were already empty.

    Belmode had left, but he had not given up his intention to kill Shirley.

    From beginning to end, her resentment towards the Miyano family and her murderous intention towards Shirley have never diminished and are still engraved on her bottom line.

    It’s just that Conan blocked it too resolutely. That small figure was a silver bullet that she was unwilling to disobey no matter what.

    She could hate Shirley, she could remember this grudge, she could break it off when no one saw her,

    But she would never take action after Conan made it clear that he would protect her, nor would she make a big fuss and affect her angel Mao Lilan.

    To stop today is to give in, not to forgive.

    It’s to give Conan face, not to give Shirley a way out.

    The atmosphere in the car was calm and tense.

    Akai Shuichi helped Gin lean against the passenger seat. His fingertips trembled slightly but he pressed the wound on his left shoulder very gently.The black clothes were already soaked with blood, and the sticky warmth came through his fingertips, making his heart feel tight.

    “I told you it was just a minor injury.” Gin lowered her eyes and looked at his tense profile. The fierceness in her dark green eyes had faded away, leaving only a softness. “At this level, you can’t die.”

    “It’s a penetrating wound, not a scratch.” Akai Shuichi raised his head and glared at him, his tone filled with reproach, but when he touched his pale face, he instantly softened, “Don’t stand in front of me like this next time.”

    Ginjiu chuckled and touched the wound. His brows furrowed slightly, but he still stretched out his hand forcefully and held his wrist that was not stained with blood: “If I don’t protect you, how can I see you get shot?”

    The palm is hot, the strength is firm, and there is unquestionable possession.

    From the moment you choose to stand by his side, it has been your instinct to protect him.

    Akai Shuichi was silent for a moment, but in the end he did not break away. He just shook his hand gently and said in a low and serious voice: “We are together, I am not a burden to you.”

    “I know.” Gin raised his eyes and looked straight into his eyes, “So, let’s live together.”

    In the back seat, Fangtani Ling saw all this.

    He understands Belmod’s logic better than anyone else – he will kill Shirley, give in to Conan, and protect the angel to the death.

    The murderous intention that had almost overflowed in the warehouse suddenly dissipated because Conan’s words suppressed all her impulses.

    Conan and Haibara Ai’s car followed closely behind.

    Hui Yuan Ai kept clutching Conan’s clothes, her face still a little pale.She could still remember the piercing murderous intent in the warehouse. It was Belmod’s unabashed murderous intention. It was only one step away from piercing her heart.

    “She won’t do anything for now.” Conan patted the back of her hand gently, his voice was steady and strong, “As long as I’m here, I won’t let her hurt you.”

    Hui Yuan Ai raised her eyes to look at him, a complex look of relief flashed across her eyes.

    She knew better than anyone else that the reason why she survived was not because Belmode was soft-hearted, but because someone was risking his or her life to protect her.

    The car quickly drove into a hidden safe house, which was a stronghold prepared by Akai Shuichi in advance. It was quiet, secluded, and well-equipped, just for treating wounds.

    Akai Shuichi helped Gin sit down on the sofa, turned around and got the medical kit, and skillfully cut open the blood-stained sleeve, revealing the hideous wound underneath.The bullet passed through and did not stay in the body, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

    The moment the alcohol cotton touched the wound, Gin’s body froze slightly, but he remained silent. His eyes were only fixed on Akai Shuichi’s face, as if all the pain was not worth the slightest of his care.

    Rei Fukutani stood by the window, connected to the encrypted communication of Feng Ming, and explained the follow-up in a calm tone: “Rum is under strict supervision and no one is allowed to contact it; the warehouse site has been cleaned up, leaving no traces related to the public security or FBI. In addition, the control around the Maori Detective Agency and Dr. Agasa’s house has been strengthened, and no one is allowed to approach.”

    “Understood, Mr. Fangtani!”

    This layer of layout is not only to prevent Rum’s remnants, but also to Amber Mode’s heart.

    As long as Angel is safe, she will not stir up trouble again, and Shirley can be stable for the time being.

    After hanging up the communication, Fang Gu Ling looked back at the two of them: “I’m guarding the perimeter, and the remaining Rum will not dare to move rashly in the short term. You treat the wounds.”

    The door closed gently, leaving only the steady breathing of the two people in the room.

    Akai Shuichi carefully finished bandaging Gin, his fingertips lightly brushed the edge of the bandage, and said in a very soft voice: “Just say it hurts, no need to hold on.”

    Gin reached out and took him into her arms, letting him lean on her uninjured right shoulder. Her chin rested lightly on the top of his hair, and her tone was low and gentle: “As long as you are here, it won’t hurt.”

    The night outside the window was dark and the stars were faint.

    Rum was arrested, the crisis was suspended, and Bellmode’s pursuit of Shirley was temporarily restrained, but it was not completely ended.

    The shadow of the organization has not dissipated, but at this moment, the safe house feels warm and peaceful.

    The wounds will heal, the smoke will clear, and the hands they hold will never let go.
