Chapter 91 Delinquent Girl Selling Flowers
In the nick of time, Lin Xiuyi didn't have time to think. He rushed forward and used all his strength to push Orisaka Midori to a safe place on the side of the road.
With a loud bang, the car grazed his clothes and crashed into him. The huge impact made Lin Xiuyi stagger back several steps before he hit the roadside guardrail to regain his balance.
As for Midori Orisaka, she narrowly escaped injury because of his push, only falling to the ground and suffering minor superficial injuries.
Without a second thought, the two took advantage of the moment when the psychopathic killer was reversing his car to ram the victim again. They exchanged a glance and ran in unison toward a narrow alleyway by the roadside.
The deranged killer was completely enraged and drove his car into the alley without hesitation.
As a result, because the alley was too narrow, he couldn't brake in time, and the car crashed hard into the wall at the end of the alley, the front of the car was instantly deformed.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was trapped in the car and panicked, Lin Xiuyi and Orikasa Midori immediately rushed over, picked up bricks, sticks and other usable things from the roadside, and smashed the car window with all their might.
With a few loud crashes, the car window shattered, and the two men dragged the terrified killer out of the car and held him down tightly.
The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, after the Metropolitan Police Department detectives arrived and successfully apprehended the deranged killer.
Huh?
Lin Xiuyi frowned, a question suddenly popping into her mind.
The lead detective who arrived at the scene looked vaguely familiar.
And the more I think about this memory, the more familiar it seems?
He paused for a moment, then finally realized what was happening:
Isn't this event just the love story of Inspector Megure in the original timeline?
He remembered clearly that in the original timeline, it was during this case that Inspector Megure was hit on the head by a car while trying to save Midori Orikasa, leaving him with a permanent scar.
It was precisely because of this act of selflessly saving him that Midori Orikasa fell in love with Inspector Megure and they became husband and wife.
Because these are all things from more than 20 years ago, although Lin Xiuyi had regained his memories of the Conan world, most of them were about the main storyline and the people close to him.
I couldn't recall the details of these side branches at the moment.
Now that he thinks about it carefully, it's no wonder he always felt something was off whenever he saw Inspector Megure.
In the original timeline of the Conan world, Inspector Megure always wore a hat to cover the scar on his head.
But now, Inspector Megure's head is completely bald, and he's not wearing a hat at all.
Moreover, judging from the signature on this greeting card, the delinquent girl from back then is still called Midori Orikasa and has not changed it to "Megure Midori".
This means that, after all these years, she has not married Inspector Megure.
"No wonder Inspector Megure gets so angry every time he sees me, so that's what happened!" Lin Xiuyi slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.
Presumably, it was because he saved Midori Orikasa back then that Inspector Megure lost the opportunity to fall in love with Midori Orikasa.
That's why Inspector Megure harbored resentment towards him and never gave him a friendly look whenever they met.
But how did Midori Orikasa know that he was back?
He even knew everything about his work as a psychologist at Teitan High School.
Lin Xiuyi was puzzled, so she turned the chocolate over and examined it carefully.
This chocolate was different from the others on the table. It wasn't delivered to the office by a student; it was sent by mail, and there was even a small stamp on the packaging.
That makes sense, considering that Midori Orikasa is no longer the delinquent girl who once dominated Teitan High School.
She graduated many years ago, and perhaps because it was inconvenient for her to come in person, she chose to send it by mail.
Because it was mailed, the mailer's address was clearly written on the back of the chocolate packaging: Beikacho Shopping Street Shurokuhana Store.
A flower shop? Lin Xiuyi raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of surprise, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
The delinquent gang leader who used to carry a wooden knife, speak in a vicious tone, and constantly utter phrases like "Yoru Shiku" and "I'll kill you," has actually opened a flower shop?
The contrast is too great, isn't it?
In his memory, Midori Orikasa was always that unruly person, with sharp eyes and a prickly demeanor.
Anyone who provokes her will at best be scolded, and at worst might even get a beating with a wooden knife.
How can someone like that quietly sell flowers?
Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but maliciously speculate in her mind: Could she be holding a wooden knife, standing at the entrance of the flower shop, forcing passing customers to buy flowers?
If that were the case, I doubt any pedestrians in Beikacho Shopping Street would dare approach her flower shop.
Beikacho Shopping Street is not far from Teitan High School, only a ten-minute walk away.
Lin Xiuyi glanced at the clock on the wall. It was perfect timing for her lunch break. She would go over and see how the former delinquent girl was selling flowers now.
Is he really as "overbearing" as he imagined?
Suppressing his curiosity, Lin Xiuyi continued to examine the remaining chocolates on the table. However, no matter how many he looked at, he still couldn't find the one he was most looking forward to.
"Really?" Lin Xiuyi pouted, somewhat annoyed. "Judging from her usual demeanor, that girl seems to like me quite a bit, right? How come she won't even give me a piece of chocolate on Valentine's Day!"
The person he longed for so much and looked forward to was none other than his other daughter besides Ran, Sonoko.
Sonoko is lively and cheerful, and she always likes to stick close to him, calling him "Uncle" all the time, and she is very affectionate towards him.
Logically speaking, it's impossible for me to forget to give him chocolates on Valentine's Day.
"It's alright. Sonoko is different from others. She's definitely planning to deliver it to me in person. It's just not time yet."
Lin Xiuyi tried to comfort herself and suppress her disappointment, but a hint of gloom still showed between her brows.
However, after a whole morning, apart from two students who looked flustered and avoided eye contact, no one else came to the counseling room.
The two students insisted that they had mental illnesses, were depressed, and were unable to attend classes normally, and tried to get Lin Xiuyi to give them a certificate that "they need to recuperate at home".
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to skip class.
Lin Xiuyi, who was already feeling somewhat depressed, naturally wouldn't tolerate their little tricks.
He saw through their lies in just a few words and immediately called their homeroom teacher, telling them the whole truth.
I heard that the homeroom teacher has already contacted their parents. I suppose when they get home, they will be met with a beating from their parents. They have "successfully" obtained the "rest time" they wanted.
