Shiina Mashiro held an umbrella and said to the driver: "I have always cherished everything, so you go back...it's okay."

"..." The driver still hesitated and looked at her worriedly.

Shiina Mashiro stood on the side of the road, inadvertently, she noticed someone approaching her, she looked up, some wet golden hair fluttered slightly, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "They picked me up So, it doesn't matter to me, Grandpa, you can leave."

The old taxi driver looked at Zhenbai's urgent and worried expression, hesitated for a while, and saw that a group of people were indeed approaching from a distance, he felt a little relieved, nodded, and said: "Then Well, you have to take care of yourself."

The old man turned the taxi around and slowly returned the same way.

In the drizzle, in this quiet and dark forest, the street lights in the distance flickered to illuminate the vast forest and the figure of the girl, leaving Shiina Mashiro holding an umbrella alone.

In the darkness, a pistol was silently aimed at Mashiro Shiina.

Shiina Mashiro gradually turned her head, looking at the group of people calmly and fearlessly.

[Jester Thieves Group]'s lair in Japan is in this place.

On the way of holding that item and being led by this group of [Jester Thieves] to the ruined houses, Shiina Mashiro did not show the slightest fear.

"I came here to protect Holmes..."

"so……"

"I won't be afraid."

Shiina Mashiro walked forward step by step, secretly clasping a ring in the fingers holding the object, thinking.

She is not without any preparations. In this package, besides her oil paintings, there is also a self-igniting device that she learned from detective books. Just pull it, and the entire oil painting will burn.

[Jester Thieves] will never hurt him, after all, studying Qingshan Nanami and Rita's relationship and bond with her so seriously, so as to attack them without killing people, is not just to defeat her From the beginning, the purpose of planning to take revenge on her was to make her obedient and draw famous paintings for them...

Not far away, there is a house sitting on a slope by the river, and that is the only place with lights.

Finally, Shiina Mashiro was surrounded by a group of people, handed over his mobile phone, and started walking to the door of that house by himself.

The wooden door at the entrance was opened, making a creaking sound.

In front of the door, there stood a shrewd middle-aged British man in a windbreaker with eyes as sharp as eagle's eyes, welcoming her.

"Hmph, welcome, our little girl detective of the British Empire."

He sneered a few times gloomyly, clapped his hands, and said to Zhenbai.

"..." Shiina Mashiro looked at this person quietly, feeling the dangerous aura emanating from him.

In this semi-abandoned house, it was somewhat warm. Dust settled in every corner of this house, and the generator roared in the house, restoring the precious light to this house.

"I'm here to take him back." Mashiro Shiina looked at the other party calmly and said.

The British man with fierce eyes patted the dilapidated sofa for himself, sat on it, smiled and said: "Of course, Miss Shiina, we also sincerely keep our promise this time, so let me introduce myself first , my name is Lucas, and I believe the British police already have my information. I am a criminal following the will of Captain Jester, planning various thefts of famous paintings, jewelry, jewelry, ceramics, and gold in Europe, hoarding a While piling up treasure-like wealth, I am also waiting for a smart kid like you to challenge me."

He shrugged, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's a pity that I spent several months researching and designing the theft case of the Eindsworth family, but in the end it was caught by a naive boy like you." The bird was cracked... The Jester regiment lost a lot of members because of this. This situation is no longer the culprit that I can easily forgive and insult us. Of course, even if it is a minor, we do not refer to any country. However, this does not mean that you have no chance to apologize, kid, you and your grandpa are both talented painters, your paintings... can be used as bargaining chips for apology."

"...Drawing, bring it."

Shiina Mashiro said.

This man named Lucas stared at the painting with gloomy eyes.

"Give it to me."

"..." Shiina Mashiro frowned slightly, and then showed Lucas the buckle of the self-ignition device he designed for the picture scroll without changing his face.

"With a little pull, the sparks generated by the flint can burn everything in two seconds." Mashiro Shiina continued to speak in a steady tone.

"Um, you brat..." Lukas didn't dare to act rashly, stared at Zhenbai through gritted teeth, and cursed.

Broken windows, the sound of rustling rain, gusts of cold wind blowing on this frail girl.

"Where is he?" Shiina Mashiro asked with cold eyes.

Lucas was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, he opened his hands and said, "Miss Shiina, your paintings are worth millions of dollars in the market, your grandfather is a famous painter destined to be famous forever, we were very early I believed before that you would grow up to be a talented painter like your grandfather. We originally planned to kidnap your closest friend, the little girl from the Eindsworth family. After one unfortunate death, we can only use this Chinese as a bargaining chip to coerce you to repay the blood debt owed to us."

"..." Shiina Mashiro remained silent.

"We need you to draw ten oil paintings and give them to us as a price before we release the Chinese. Otherwise, neither of you, including the Eindsworth family, will survive."

A flash of killing intent flashed in Lucas' eyes, and he threatened Shiina Mashiro.

Shiina Mashiro did not react at all, neither fearful nor brave. It seemed that what Lucas said was not important. She finally fell silent for a while and said, "I want to see him."

……

Step by step, he followed the leader of the Jester thieves, who was carrying an oil lamp, to the second floor.

Stepping forward gently, Shiina Mashiro endured the fear and forced himself to be vigilant and take every step forward.

Such a life-and-death situation, even the Sorata and Mitaka-senpai she knew would definitely be afraid, let alone a girl like her.

She raised her head and hesitated every step she took, but she still kept this rhythm and walked up.

This spiral staircase, like the black rain's whirling dance, is empty, cold, and dark...every step is full of thrills.

As the leader who manipulated everything behind the scenes came to the second floor, in the room where the dark corridor on the second floor extended, one light after another was turned on. Lucas took the oil lamp and brought Shiina Mashiro to the room. In the room at the end.

In the room, it was a little dark, but it was completely clear.
