Chapter 315

"Shengzai, how is it? Did you catch that Jack the Ripper?"

After the stone bridge collapsed, Conan and the others finally arrived late from behind, and among them, the three brats of the Detective Boys were even more excitedly looking at Shengzai and asking.

"It's a pity. Originally, I was indeed about to catch up with him, but the stone bridge here suddenly collapsed."

While Shengzai was speaking, he also took a glance at Moroboshi Hideki on the side with the corner of his eye.

Now he could basically be sure that the arrogant and domineering rich kid before was replaced by Hiroki.

And the reason why the stone bridge suddenly collapsed was estimated to be Hiroki's handiwork.

Hiroki trapped these children of upper-class people through "Cocoon," not really to destroy the future of this country, but to let those flowers who had always lived in a greenhouse experience difficulties through their own strength through these tests.

Although through the memory of the boy Moroboshi, Hiroki knew Shengzai's ability was very outstanding before, the action ability and talent Shengzai just showed were far beyond Hiroki's expectation.

If Shengzai were allowed to catch Jack the Ripper so smoothly, then for those children, what kind of tempering would there be?

Outside, they were protected by parents with powerful backgrounds, and in the game scene of "Cocoon," they were directly brought to fly by a big shot like Shengzai. This simply couldn't achieve his goal of tempering them.

And the process of players collecting clues and ultimately finding the murderer Jack the Ripper was also Hiroki wanting to use this game scene to tell the world the secret that Thomas Sindora was a descendant of Jack the Ripper.

If Shengzai caught Jack the Ripper at the beginning and omitted all the processes in the middle, then how could he expose Sindora's ugly deeds?

Based on the above reasons, Hiroki would intervene directly when Shengzai was about to catch Jack the Ripper, and break the stone bridge, causing Shengzai's pursuit to fail.

"What a pity! The other party is a perverted murderer who made the whole of Europe tremble in the 19th century.

A brat who hasn't even reached the waist of others, you actually dared to leave us behind and chase him alone like this. If you act recklessly like this next time, don't blame sister for being impolite to you!"

The few people of the Detective Boys, and the few rich kids who had been beaten into submission by Shengzai before, were still marveling at Shengzai's skills, but the next second, an angry figure suddenly walked up from behind and gave Shengzai's head a chestnut without any politeness!

"Sister, what are you doing? The game scene we are in now, if the body receives a certain degree of impact, it will be regarded as a game failure and eliminated.

And the other party is not the real Jack the Ripper, just a pile of programming and data in the game scene. Even if I were really finished off by him, it's not like I really died. This is just a game..."

Shengzai hadn't finished his sentence when his head was hit by Sonoko's angry punch again.

Because it was in the game, Shengzai, who had his head hit by Sonoko's heavy punch, although he didn't have a big bump, the pain was real because "Cocoon" could perfectly experience the five senses in reality.

"Hmph, even if it's a game, it's not allowed! Do you want to let me, as a sister, see my younger brother die in front of me?

And this is not discussing with you, but an order as a sister. As a younger brother, you must obey sister's arrangement."

"But sister Sonoko also always goes against Mother and sister Ayako..."

Shengzai's muttering was only half said when Sonoko on the side squatted down and pulled the corner of her mouth while looking at him: "Shengzai, what were you saying just now? Sister didn't hear it very clearly."

Shengzai: "(￣￣), nothing. I was saying that I was indeed impulsive just now. Next time I won't act recklessly."

Looking at Shengzai who was easily suppressed by Sonoko, the Detective Boys and the few rich kids on the side all revealed a look of surprise.

Especially those few rich kids—they thought before that an excellent only son like Shengzai was a little bully in the family.

Not to mention far away, as heirs in the family like them, even without Shengzai's talent, they were still masters with high status in the family.

If they were in a good mood, they might listen to their parents, but if they threw a tantrum, their parents could only let them be.

But the Shengzai in front of them had both ability and was the designated heir in the family. Why was he suppressed so easily when facing his sister, completely without the confidence and arrogance he had when facing outsiders before...

"Is the relationship between the siblings always this good?"

Looking at Shengzai and Sonoko in front of her, Haibara Ai couldn't help but think of her sister, and her face revealed a trace of loneliness and envy.

Hearing Haibara's inquiry and seeing the expression on her face, Conan also realized that Haibara... oh no, Miyano Shiho also remembered her sister Miyano Akemi.

Although Haibara looked very strong on the outside, she was actually quite reliant on her sister who was killed by the "Black Organization."

And the sibling combination of Sonoko and Shengzai, to some extent, was indeed quite similar to Miyano Shiho and Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Shiho had the code name "Sherry" in the Black Organization and was a genius scientist at only 18 years old, and Shengzai was also a genius.

And they both had sisters who cared about them quite a bit, although Miyano Akemi and Suzuki Sonoko had quite different personalities.

But just looking at Suzuki Sonoko's tone and expression just now, Haibara could see that her concern for Shengzai was the same as when her sister Miyano Akemi cared about her.

"Don't look at that kid Shengzai as having excellent ability, mature mind, and quite a strong personality toward others. Even the me who hadn't become smaller before often couldn't do anything about this brat.

But Sonoko, who is not very smart, has had him completely handled since before. This point even the me and Ran before felt very strange.

Although that brat Shengzai is only seven years old, if he plays mind games, ten Sonokos are not his match.

But when facing others, he is extremely mature, yet when facing Sonoko, he is like a child."

After listening to Conan's words, Haibara shook her head at him and said: "Actually, the ones who don't understand are you.

The seemingly powerful and excellent Shengzai, the reason why he is helpless and obedient when facing his sister, is actually not because his sister is more powerful or excellent than him.

It is because he also cherishes such emotions quite a bit. I, who was always praised as a genius before, am not even as good as a seven-year-old child in this point.

Also, the reason why you feel strange is because you, the great detective, and your sister Ran are both only children, so you cannot experience this kind of emotion between brothers and sisters."

Conan, who originally wanted to comfort the other party when seeing the lonely Haibara, was directly choked by her and revealed a dead-fish face: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, I, an only child, don't understand anything..."

(First time writing a *Detective Conan* fanfic, damn it, it feels so hard to write. Writing and writing, I always feel like it's going to go off track (ToT)/~~~
