Conan: Ran turns into an elementary school student and calls me dad.

Chapter 68 Chris Arrives

In good lighting conditions, Judy is confident she can hit a trigger-sized target within ten meters.

The building was dimly lit, and people could barely make out their figures. Yet Lin Xiuyi managed to hit the robber's wrist with one shot and then break the tiny trigger with another.

This is something that ordinary enthusiasts cannot do; it must have required a long period of rigorous training.

However, according to the information obtained by the FBI, Lin Xiuyi has either been having affairs with his lovers or pursuing them over the years, and there is no record of him receiving any firearms training.

Is he also a member of some mysterious organization? Is that why the FBI couldn't find any relevant information about him?

Judy grew increasingly panicked, wondering if her undercover mission had been a trap, a case of walking into the lion's den.

While she was still lost in thought, Lin Xiuyi, sitting in the back row, spoke up quietly after hearing her praise.

"I aimed my first shot at the robber's head, and the second shot at his body..."

Uh……

An eerie silence fell over the car. After a moment, Xiaolan couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach and leaning against Lin Xiuyi, tears welling in her eyes from laughing.

"Wow, so that's how it is..."

Judy in the front row also had a tight smile and her shoulders were trembling slightly as she barely managed to hold back her laughter.

She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced: I knew it! How could someone who hasn't undergone rigorous training possibly have such amazing marksmanship!

Although this luck is too incredible, it's still much more reasonable than a peerless marksman suddenly appearing.

With that thought, Judy's vigilance and unease vanished instantly, and she relaxed completely.

However, she didn't notice that Lin Xiuyi in the back row had a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

What he just said was obviously false.

Back when he was with Sharon, that "witch" taught him a lot of skills, including marksmanship.

Lin Xiuyi's marksmanship, both on and off the bed, can be considered exceptionally gifted. His accuracy even surpasses Sharon's, and even the witch has marveled at his talent.

The reason she deliberately lied instead of maintaining her "gun god" persona was entirely because of Judy's FBI identity.

Some cards should be kept hidden as much as possible, because no one can predict the future situation.

In the unlikely event that he and the FBI become adversaries, these hidden strengths might become his life-saving assets.

Having eliminated the threat of Judy, Lin Xiuyi glanced at her daughter, who was laughing so hard she could hardly breathe, and couldn't help but raise her hand and gently flick her forehead.

"Ouch……"

Xiao Lan covered her forehead, frowned, and looked at Lin Xiuyi with a wronged expression.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Lin Xiuyi frowned, her tone serious.

"Okay." Xiaolan nodded obediently.

Although her body had shrunk, her mind was already mature, and she naturally understood how dangerous the situation had been.

No matter how skilled she was in karate, she was no match for firearms. If Lin Xiuyi hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

So the girl didn't make a scene and obediently admitted her mistake.

"Boss, Miss Lan is just a child; this can't be entirely blamed on her."

Seeing this, Judy quickly pleaded on their behalf.

"It's all because of that high school detective. He acted too impulsively and without any sense of proportion. He actually dared to take a few kids to such a dangerous place without considering the consequences at all."

"That's obviously the fault of that idiot who only knows how to reason!"

Lin Xiuyi's tone was full of dissatisfaction with Kudo Shinichi. Just as he was about to continue to tell Ran to have less contact with Kudo Shinichi, his cell phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone and saw Li Long's name on the screen, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Since returning to Tokyo, Lin Xiuyi found that the security here was much more stable than in the United States. Therefore, he did not have his four bodyguards follow him. Instead, he had them find two houses with a good view near Eri Kisaki's apartment and take turns monitoring the surrounding area 24 hours a day to prevent suspicious people from approaching.

Li Long's sudden call indicates that he has noticed something amiss.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuyi pressed the answer button, his gaze sweeping over Judy in the front row without making a sound.

Li Long's calm yet somewhat serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, there were suspicious people loitering near Madam's apartment today, behaving strangely. We followed and observed them for a while and found that they are very good at disguising themselves."

"Understood." Lin Xiuyi replied calmly, then hung up the phone as if she had only received a routine report.

He put his phone back in his pocket and continued the previous conversation, lecturing Xiaolan.

The girl lowered her head, obediently accepting the scolding, not daring to utter a single word in her defense.

Judy, sitting in the front row, watched this scene through the rearview mirror, a gentle smile appearing on her lips, and a hint of envy in her eyes.

She lost her father at a very young age and had never experienced being protected by a father who was strict yet gentle. The daily interactions between this father and daughter were exactly the warmth she had always longed for.

Seeing that Judy had no doubts and was simply immersed in the warm atmosphere, Lin Xiuyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter of Ran shrinking has not yet been clarified, and whether the Black Organization is involved is still unknown. As for Vermouth's whereabouts, we can only keep it from Jodie for now to avoid any unforeseen complications.

……

The car stopped downstairs at Eri Kisaki's apartment building, and Lin Xiuyi escorted Xiaolan upstairs.

After Judy drove away, he whispered to Eri Kisaki, "I'm going downstairs for a bit," and then hurriedly went downstairs and found Li Long in a nearby house.

"What exactly happened?" Lin Xiuyi's tone turned somber as soon as he entered the room.

Li Long pulled four photos out of his pocket: "Boss, look at these."

The photo shows four women dressed very differently: a smart white-collar worker in a business suit, an ordinary passerby in casual clothes, and even an old lady wearing a headscarf. The age range is extremely wide.

Without careful observation, the connection would be completely invisible.

"This woman is very good at disguising herself. At first, we just thought she was an ordinary passerby and didn't pay any attention to her."

Li Long explained with a grim expression, his tone tinged with self-reproach.

"It wasn't until evening, when she changed into a school uniform and passed by the apartment building, that I noticed a glint of camera lens reflected from her sleeve and realized something was wrong. This woman was secretly taking pictures of the apartment building."

"Later, we retrieved all the surveillance footage in the vicinity and compared the details repeatedly before we were able to confirm that the person in these four photos was actually the same person."

Lin Xiuyi took the photo, gently stroking the image, her face expressionless.

He carefully folded the photos one by one and slowly stuffed them into his suit pocket, saying calmly, "Yes, I understand."

"Boss, how about we find a different place for Madam and Miss to stay?" Li Long suggested worriedly. "This woman's background is unknown, and her methods are so secretive. Who knows if she might do something to harm Madam and Miss?"

Lin Xiuyi remained silent for a moment, his gaze drifting towards the direction of Fei Yingli's apartment building outside the window, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes.

"...Alright. You all work hard tonight and increase security. Tomorrow we'll move to our house in 2-chome, Beikacho."
