After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 135 Compromise

When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Her thoughts raced before she came up with a more reasonable reason.

Hoshino Hitomi then gently raised her head and looked at Hagiwara Kenji who looked worried, and slowly explained:

"I just ran into my enemy by accident, and he shot a bullet at my vital point with a sniper rifle."

Hoshino Hitomi said, and smoothed things over:

"In fact, after I finished taking the statement, I vaguely felt that some enemies seemed to be chasing me. In order not to implicate you, I ran away."

After hearing this, they became even more nervous.

Hoshino Hitomi then changed the subject and smiled:

"But luckily I dodged it and it only caused a few minor scratches, nothing serious. Later, Zero and I successfully avoided the enemy. Now I am fine, you can rest assured~"

Furukaya Rei listened silently to the lies that Hoshino Hitomi made up, and looked at her with his eyes lowered, his eyes gradually darkening.

He knew very well that the bullet fired from the sniper rifle was aimed at him, but Hoshino Hitomi not only lied, but also said that her childhood sweetheart was being hunted by her enemy.

Is it because he doesn't want others to know that she was injured because of saving him, or does he not want her to reveal her identity as his childhood sweetheart?

Fūya Reiichi was extremely confused for a moment, but he did not open his mouth to expose Hoshino Hitomi's lie.

Matsuda Jinpei pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he asked in an unclear tone:

"Xiaotong, are you sure what you said is true?"

Hoshino Hitomi immediately entered the role, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her beautiful and lively red eyes, her eyes were full of grievances:

"Zhen Ping, you don't believe me? Then I'll leave..."

After saying that, Hoshino Hitomi turned around and walked away in a serious manner, taking two steps.

As to why she only took two steps, it was of course because her hands were handcuffed to Furuya Rei's. If she took a few more steps, she would not be able to continue the performance.

Fortunately, Jinpei Matsuda was cooperative and immediately stepped forward and held Hoshino Hitomi's hand.

Matsuda Jinpei's face was full of tension, and he frowned and said:

"I don't mean to disbelieve you! I'm just asking a question..."

Hoshino Hitomi turned her head and glared at Matsuda Jinpei with a hint of anger, interrupting him without leaving a trace, and then asked back:

"Then if you ask me this, doesn't that mean you don't believe what I say?"

Matsuda Jinpei shut his mouth for a moment after being confronted by Hoshino Hitomi, but his broad and powerful hands slowly tightened around her delicate and clean wrist.

There were fine calluses on Jinpei Matsuda's palms. Although they were not very rough, they still rubbed Hoshino Hitomi's fair skin, causing it to turn slightly red.

Hoshino Hitomi felt a little uncomfortable in her wrist, so she tried to pull her hand back, but she felt a sharp pain in her arm because of the bullet scratch.

Hoshino Hitomi's face turned visibly pale and she had to stop struggling.

Upon seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei immediately let go of her hand, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly supported Hoshino Hitomi and asked:

"Are you OK?"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled lightly and said in a sarcastic tone:

"What can happen to me?"

Hoshino Hitomi then quietly withdrew from Matsuda Jinpei's arms, and said with a wry smile:

"I'd better leave, so as not to cause trouble for you. Anyway, you won't believe what I say, so we should just not meet in the future..."

When Matsuda Jinpei heard the last words Hoshino Hitomi said, he felt as if his heart was pierced by a needle. He then quickly stepped forward and hugged her from behind, and said in a low voice with a slight tremor:

"I don't want you to leave, I was wrong..."

Hoshino Hitomi was slightly stunned, a little bit unable to adapt to Matsuda Jinpei's intimate behavior towards her, and said stiffly:

"You... let go!"

Hagiwara Kenji slowly walked over to the two of them and separated them, smiling as he said:

"Tong-chan, don't be angry with Xiao Zhenping. Sometimes he says things that make people unhappy. Besides, since there are enemies chasing Tong-chan, we can't leave your side."

A trace of confusion flashed in Hoshino Hitomi's eyes. She looked at Hagiwara Kenji with a puzzled look and asked:

"Why? Aren't you afraid? They are not just one person. Is it really worth it to risk your life to get involved with me?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and responded in a gentle voice:

"Don't be afraid. Xiaotong is definitely worth it to us. What's more, we already have the same answer in our hearts."

Hagiwara Kenji nodded in agreement and echoed:

"Tong-chan has been facing these difficulties and dangers alone all this time. Although Tong-chan's strength is indeed much stronger than ours, we don't want to let Tong-chan be alone anymore."

Hearing this, Hoshino Hitomi frowned slightly, looking somewhat hesitant. After thinking for a long time, she finally sighed and compromised:

"Well, I'll talk to you guys slowly after I go to the hospital for treatment."

Hoshino Hitomi then added:

"I won't lie to you this time."
