Chapter 42
Conan's Big Blow?

The points in my head converted from emotions had already exceeded two thousand. I have to say, being in a crowd really does work.

It's a shame, though. Yu Quan still hasn't noticed the soul's appearance.

On the bus, Slit-Mouthed Woman had already killed nine people...

After getting off, she killed three more. The area was already in chaos. Before long, Slit-Mouthed Woman disappeared from there.

Yu Quan glanced at the map in his mind. Five-Chome... The most important thing is that Slit-Mouthed Woman appeared in a small alley near the Mauri Detective Agency!

Thinking about Conan's special abilities, Yu Quan followed her directly.

...

"Dad, you've been drinking too much again?!" Half supporting Mauri Kogoro, Mauri Ran frowned in displeasure.

"Drink! I can still drink!" Mauri Kogoro raised his hand weakly, as if he were holding a glass of wine.

"Dad—" Mauri Ran simply pinched his arm.

As for Conan, he was walking in front of them with a bored expression.

As they passed by a small alley, a scream came from inside: "Ah—"

Thinking of the murder subconsciously, Conan turned his head sharply. Mauri Ran and Mauri Kogoro behind him also subconsciously quickened their pace.

In the alley, there were five men who looked like they had been drinking, plus a woman wearing a khaki coat in such hot weather.

Most importantly—

When Conan looked over, one of the men had already fallen to the ground. On his cheek, there were two hideous wounds that stretched from both corners of his mouth to his ears.

Conan couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock as he looked at the large scissors in the woman's hand, dripping with blood.

Seeming not to notice Conan's appearance, the woman holding the scissors approached another man.

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

"No... don't come over here!"

"Stop!" Although he was shocked, Conan still subconsciously shouted.

However, what Conan didn't expect was...

The girl, as if she hadn't heard his voice, raised her scissors at the already scared man without hesitation.

"Wh...what?" Conan widened his eyes and quickly looked around.

Fortunately, there was a can right at the corner next to him.

Conan immediately went to pick it up, turned on the switch of his "Foot Strength Enhancement Shoes," aimed at the direction of the girl's hand holding the scissors—

He raised his foot without hesitation and kicked the can toward her.

The next second, Conan was completely dumbfounded.

The can hit precisely, landing on Slit-Mouthed Woman's arm, but... as if it hadn't touched anything, it went straight through the woman's wrist and landed on another man not far away.

"Ah—"

A scream rang out, and the scissors in Slit-Mouthed Woman's hand had already slashed open the man's mouth.

"Ah—" Mauri Ran just happened to come over and couldn't help but scream at the sight.

"Damn it! How is this possible?" Conan looked at Slit-Mouthed Woman's body in astonishment.

Conan was sure he had kicked the can at this "person".

However, the moment the can came into contact with Slit-Mouthed Woman's body, her body seemed to twist, and the can passed through her arm...

Mauri Ran didn't see that scene. Instead, seeing that Slit-Mouthed Woman was still holding the weapon in her hand...

She subconsciously stood in front, "I've called the police, stop it." Mauri Ran's eyes were firm.

Unfortunately, Slit-Mouthed Woman seemed not to have heard and turned her gaze to the next man: "Do you think I'm pretty?"

Conan couldn't help but frown. He felt like he had seen this scene before.

Now wasn't the time to think about this. Conan's gaze quickly swept across the surroundings, thinking of a solution.

Before Conan could think of anything, the man opposite him broke down first: "Don't come over here, get out!"

Without a doubt, Slit-Mouthed Woman raised her large scissors again.

"Don't—" Conan shouted, subconsciously raising his foot and running towards her.

However, Conan's speed was still not as fast as Mauri Ran's. Mauri Ran directly raised her leg towards Slit-Mouthed Woman's arm and kicked with great strength.

Thinking of the can that passed through Slit-Mouthed Woman's arm earlier, Conan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ahey—" Mauri Ran kicked down with a loud sound.

The next second, Mauri Ran was dumbfounded. She didn't feel like she had kicked anything solid, but rather like she had passed through air—

Mauri Ran stumbled forward and fell.

"Ran-san." Conan's pupils contracted, and he quickly ran towards Mauri Ran.

Before Conan got close, he felt a burning sensation on his face—

It turned out that Slit-Mouthed Woman had directly attacked, slashing the man's cheek with the scissors, and the warm blood sprayed directly onto Conan's head...

Fortunately, Mauri Ran had fallen to the side and avoided being splashed with blood.
