Chapter 67 My dad has never hit me!
"Don't move!" A cold male voice came from the darkness. "If you dare to make any further moves, I can't guarantee where the bullets will land!"
The bandit with the mustache swallowed nervously, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He dared not resist and quickly raised his hands high along with his two companions.
"That voice..."
Xiao Lan was startled, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Mr. Lin?"
Shinichi Kudo looked over in surprise and saw Shuichi Hayashi leading Jodie and Yumi Miyamoto out from the dark corner.
When they went upstairs, their attention was completely drawn to the gold coins on the ceiling, and they didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the corner of the floor.
"Dr. Lin!" Upon seeing Lin Xiuyi, the three children seemed to have found their pillar of support, and the fear on their faces dissipated considerably as they excitedly shouted.
"Judy, find something to tie these three guys up. Don't give them a chance to resist," Lin Xiuyi ordered.
"Yes."
Judy quickly rummaged through the surrounding pile of junk and found several thick hemp ropes.
Yumi Miyamoto quickly ran to the window, picked up the fallen pistol, and pointed it at the three robbers to prevent them from causing trouble.
But as soon as she raised her gun, she realized something was wrong.
My fingertips traced the trigger position, but only touched the cold trigger guard; the trigger itself was nowhere to be found.
Yumi quickly brought the gun to her eyes and, by the moonlight, took a closer look, only to discover that the trigger of the pistol had vanished.
The broken joint still retained a faint warmth, indicating that it had been broken recently.
Could it have been interrupted by that shot just now?
Miyamoto Yumi was secretly amazed, then looked at Lin Xiuyi, her eyes instantly shining with admiration and her face full of respect.
In such a dimly lit environment, to be able to accurately hit such a small trigger, this marksmanship is simply divine. Even the Metropolitan Police Department's ace sniper might not be able to do it!
On the other side, Judy quickly tied the three Italian robbers together by the back of their hands, and even reinforced the knots several times to ensure they couldn't break free.
Seeing that the robbers were no longer able to resist, Lin Xiuyi stepped forward to Kudo Shinichi and asked with a hint of amusement, "How do you feel?"
"What are your thoughts?" Shinichi Kudo hadn't recovered from the terrifying scene just now and looked at Hideaki Hayashi with a blank expression.
The next second, accompanied by a muffled "thud," Shinichi Kudo felt a sharp pain in his cheek.
He staggered and fell to the ground after being punched!
"you!"
Shinichi Kudo covered his cheek, his eyes filled with anger and confusion, and got up to argue with Hideaki Hayashi.
"Don't do this!"
Ran quickly stepped between the two, spreading her arms to protect Shinichi Kudo.
"It's not his fault; he just didn't think things through..."
"You don't blame him?"
Lin Xiuyi sneered, his stern gaze sweeping over Kudo Shinichi, his tone full of reprimand.
"Although he's not yet an adult, he's a famous high school detective who prides himself on his intelligence. Yet, knowing the clues were suspicious, he took four children to risk their lives in this remote, abandoned building!"
"If the three of us hadn't gotten here first, the consequences would have been unimaginable for you facing these three armed robbers!"
"Have you considered whether you can take responsibility if something goes wrong?"
"I……"
Shinichi Kudo was speechless, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, his face full of guilt.
Although he was always arrogant, he had to admit that Lin Xiuyi was right.
Midway through, he realized that the code might be related to the maple leaf coins, but he was so engrossed in solving the mystery that he completely ignored the potential dangers and only cared about leading everyone to find the treasure, almost putting everyone in a desperate situation.
Seeing his dejected look, Lin Xiu wanted to give him a few more words of advice to teach him a lesson, but suddenly a piercing police siren came from outside the window, approaching quickly and stopping downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, Inspector Megure's familiar loud voice came through the loudspeaker.
"Listen up, people inside! Release the hostages immediately! It's not too late to repent!"
"Just a heads-up, taking police officers hostage is a more serious crime! Surrender immediately!"
……
The people inside the building initially thought the police were after the maple leaf coins.
Upon hearing Megure's shout, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Only Lin Xiuyi's lips twitched slightly; he understood why the police were shouting like that.
"Holding police officers hostage?"
Yumi Miyamoto pointed blankly at herself, her face full of confusion.
"I'm the only police officer here. Does that mean I've been kidnapped?"
……
With Miyamoto Yumi's explanation, the police quickly figured out the whole story, and the farcical incident finally came to an end.
Inspector Megure looked at Hayashi Hideichi with a hint of gritted teeth on his face.
Fortunately, the stolen maple leaf coins were successfully recovered, and the three escaped robbers were also captured. For the Metropolitan Police Department, this was a huge gain, and he could no longer deliberately make things difficult for them.
"Lin Xiuyi, why do you have a handgun on you?"
Inspector Megure stood with his hands behind his back, adopting a serious posture, and questioned the officer in a stern tone.
"This is Japan; you can't just own firearms like that. Do you have any legal documentation?"
He originally intended to take this opportunity to teach Lin Xiuyi a lesson and vent his anger at having his goddess stolen.
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiuyi tossed him a small, dark green notebook.
"This is my legal gun ownership certificate."
Inspector Megure took the notebook and carefully checked it several times to confirm that the identification was genuine and valid. His serious expression instantly fell, and he could only reluctantly return the notebook to Lin Xiuyi without questioning him further.
Yumi's situation was just a misunderstanding, but the Maple Leaf Gold Coin case was a real and serious matter.
However, it was already late, so the police only took a brief statement from Lin Xiuyi and her group before allowing them to go home.
As a reward for finding the gold coin, Shinichi Kudo and the three kids were personally driven home by the police, while Hideaki Hayashi took Ran and got into his black Audi armored car.
The car drove smoothly through the night. Judy glanced at Lin Xiuyi in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Boss, Yumi told me that you were incredibly accurate in hitting the trigger of the pistol in such dim lighting. Your marksmanship is amazing!"
While praising her, Judy was secretly astonished.
She had known all along that Lin Xiuyi would fire the gun. After all, she had lived in the United States for more than ten years and had plenty of opportunities to handle firearms, so it was reasonable that she was a good shot.
The saying "Free America, gunfights every day" is no joke.
What really bothered Judy was that Lin Xiuyi's marksmanship was ridiculously accurate!
