After the case was solved, the drizzle over New York continued.

Yukiko, who has become addicted to talking, is naturally obliged to go to the police station to cooperate in recording a confession.

"This is the Hilton Hotel key card."

"You guys call a taxi and go back to the hotel by yourself first."

Kudo Shinichi took the room card and was unaware of his old mother's good intentions.

Yukiko smiled playfully, sat in the police car and rolled down the window, and warned: "Oh, by the way, you must be careful about that road devil. I heard that he is Japanese and has long hair."

"knew."

Kudo Shinichi responded feebly. As soon as Yukiko left, he complained helplessly: "Really, you always treat me like a child."

Qin Zhibo looked at the only room card in Kudo Shinichi's hand and felt that Yukiko did not treat him as a child.

Due to the identity of the original owner, Qin Zhibo probably knows the age of consent in various states in the United States, which is generally above 16 years old, or based on the age difference between the parties.

But no matter what the situation, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan are not breaking the law.

The two took a taxi on the roadside.

American taxis have a glass partition in the middle, making it inconvenient to talk between the front and rear seats, so the two of us sat in the back seat together.

In the taxi, Kudo Shinichi showed his character as a straight man and praised Sherlock Holmes endlessly.

However, Mao Lilan's eyes were a little complicated, as if she was worried, and she didn't listen at all.

This made Kudo Shinichi think that Mao Lilan understood what Rose just said, and quickly asked if he heard something.

Mao Lilan came to her senses when asked, "Eh? Did she just say something?"

"She spoke English too fast, so I didn't hear it clearly."

"Haha." Kudo Shinichi could only laugh and deal with it casually, "Forget it if you didn't hear it. It's not an important thing anyway."

"By the way, you'd better close the window. It would be bad if you catch a cold. Didn't you complain that you had a cold this morning?"

Mao Lilan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "If I had a cold, I would have recovered a long time ago."

"Besides, if you close the windows, you won't be able to see the night view of New York."

As she spoke, Mao Lilan turned her head towards the window, and the colorful shop windows slowly passed by the street.

Suddenly, the shop window became as dark as an abyss.

In the darkness that seemed not to belong to this world, a figure in yellow clothes floated past.

The head of that figure could not be seen clearly, but the ragged clothes moved without any wind, revealing a divine temperament that far surpassed anything in the mortal world.

Mao Lilan's eyes widened slightly and she looked at the window in disbelief.

But when the taxi passed a bus stop sign, everything in the window seemed to be refreshed and restored to its original state.

Mao Lilan looked back hard, but the window remained the same until it was completely invisible.

That seems to be

"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

Kudo Shinichi's voice interrupted Mao Lilan's thoughts, and Mao Lilan quickly came back to her senses.

"It's okay, I seem to have made a mistake."

Kudo Shinichi on the side also saw that Mao Lilan was not in a good state today. Who could survive two consecutive murders?

So, Kudo changed the topic again, saying that it would be better to close the window to prevent the rain from outside from blowing in and getting the seats wet, which would make the driver unhappy.

"Don't worry, I wiped all the wet places with a handkerchief."

Mao Lilan smiled and held up the only trophy of the theater trip, a pink handkerchief.

This handkerchief belonged to Sharon, who gave it to Mao Lilan to wipe the scratches caused by saving people.

Although there is no signature on it to prove its value, it is already very important to Mao Lilan.

But it was such an important handkerchief. When Mao Lilan held it up to the window, her fingers unconsciously loosened, and the handkerchief floated out of the window with the wind and flew towards the street behind her.

"Eh?"

Even Mao Lilan herself was surprised by the sudden loosening of her fingers. She had obviously held on tightly.

She stretched her head and looked back, then quickly asked the driver in the front seat to stop.

"Stop! Please!"

Mao Lilan's loose English successfully stopped the taxi, and the two quickly got out of the car and went back to search.

After walking back for a while holding an umbrella, the two finally found the handkerchief.

The handkerchief was blown by the wind to the railing of the escape staircase on the fourth floor of a building, like a pink flag.

"Don't move around here, I'll get it back for you."

Kudo Shinichi left a father-like figure behind, got into the dark rolling shutter door, and broke into the abandoned building.

While waiting, Mao Lilan once again thought of the scene she had just seen in the window, and her eyes were a little dazed.

Qin Zhibo, who could only see the pictures in Mao Lilan's memory, naturally knew what Mao Lilan saw in the window.

The yellow robe is slightly different from the yellow king played by actor Keith, and it doesn't look like a spiritual product based on reality.

Is it true?

The situation is a bit dangerous, but Qin Zhibo is not too anxious.

Since this is a memory from the past, and Mao Lilan is still safe and sound now, it means that the King in Yellow did not do anything to Mao Lilan.

According to Qin Zhibo's understanding of "The King in Yellow", this script is not a simple text, but a medium for contacting the King in Yellow, similar to psychics.

After reading "The King in Yellow" in any form, the reader will unconsciously establish a trace that can be connected with the King in Yellow.

The King in Yellow will continue to send dominating dreams, eventually dominating the reader to go crazy.

Maybe the King in Yellow has some purpose in dominating mankind, but this purpose itself is often not something ordinary people can bear.

Only people like Qin Zhibo with high willpower can understand the meaning of the King in Yellow and carry out some missions to hunt MI-Go.

Even the abridged version of "The King in Yellow" still has this kind of magic that is similar to contact with the medium, but it is milder than the original.

From my previous reading survey of "The King in Yellow", I can tell that there were Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan in the theater——

When you are watching "The King in Yellow", the King in Yellow is also watching you and recording you

Mao Lilan can see the figure of the King in Yellow. It may be that her low will and strong inspiration make her more susceptible to the influence of the King in Yellow.

In the past, Mao Lilan could always inexplicably feel that there were some "dirty things" in the surrounding environment, such as the Medieval Art Museum where Konggui's paintings once hung.

Mao Lilan's physique is too easy to come into contact with the "truth" of this world, and because of her physical problems, she is unable to come into contact with these terrifying "truths".

She is the goddess of luck with double A speed and speed. She always has a healing smile on her face, but she is the one who needs to be cared for the most.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo felt a little pity for this little girl with horns on her head.

In the dark alleys, on the rain-soaked roads.

Mao Lilan held a black umbrella and stood silently at the door of the abandoned building, waiting for Kudo Shinichi.

When Mao Lilan was full of thoughts, a tall and tall figure gradually approached.

This is a human being, and the black trench coat on his body can prove it.

Mao Lilan, who heard the sound of shoes hitting the rainwater, turned her head and saw this figure.

He raised his gaze from bottom to top and fixed his gaze on the yellow-skinned face.

The angular face has handsome features and a cold expression with a hint of chill.

Behind the black knitted hat is a head of waist-length hair.

Seeing this person, Mao Lilan looked shocked, thinking of Yukiko's warning just now.

Japanese, long hair. All in.

Mao Lilan, who had been frightened just now, was frightened again, and her body stood there, unable to move for a while.

However, Qin Zhibo glanced around and thought about it for a moment, and recognized this man as Shuichi Akai.

Qin Zhibo had met this man in a previous bus hijacking case. Later, through eavesdropping on Teacher Judy, he learned that this man's name was Akai Shuichi and he was an FBI agent.

Strictly speaking, this is still my former colleague.

Akai Shuichi put his right hand in the pocket of his windbreaker, with the pistol slightly exposed from the pocket, and slowly approached Mao Lilan.

The taxi driver on the other side of the alley saw something was wrong through the rearview mirror and quickly told Mao Lilan to get in the car in English.

"Miss, get in the car quickly! He is the road devil!"

But Mao Lilan was so frightened that she lost control of her body and could only watch Akai Shuichi walking over.

"Shit!"

The driver couldn't make much money in a month, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away without risking his life.
