Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 512 Emo Metropolitan Police Department
When Gin saw the caller ID, he remembered that he still had to go to the port area to follow someone.

But then, he raised his eyebrows and answered the phone: "Vermouth, did you find someone over there?"

“Otherwise, why would I call you?” Vermouth’s voice was very lazy, and she yawned. “It went more smoothly than I thought. It seems that the other party just brought people to Ayase City and is ready to take action…”

"Where's the stuff?"

"Don't worry, I destroyed it... and I've called the police, they should be here soon."

"Row……"

"Is it all over with for me?"

"...What else do you want to say?" Gin hung up the phone with a puzzled look on his face.

It seems that Vermouth is quite motivated at work...why don't we give her more things to do in the future?

Thinking about the current work on hand, Gin rubbed his temples with a headache.

The foreign officials who were killed... the 'information that made the crows restless' that was taken away... and the election of the parliamentarians...

It feels like a lot of troubles are piled up together, which is annoying.

……

On the way from Shibuya to Beikacho.

Jinpei Matsuda was walking on the street, thinking about what Gin had just said to him.

"Fire type... Fire life..."

Although he didn't quite understand, after listening to it, he felt relieved inexplicably.

Maybe it's because of what Gin told him, Lie thinks they are very similar...

But to be honest, they don't look alike at all.

In every sense.

With a sigh, Matsuda Jinpei resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the Rei family's direction.

but.

When she turned into a small road out of habit -

"Go ahead and capture it!"

A magnetic voice suddenly sounded from mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, a strong gust of wind flew almost straight towards Matsuda Jinpei's head!

Matsuda Jinpei was shocked... but because of the conditioned reflex from when he met Angostra just now, he barely paused and directly raised his hand to block it -

'puff! '

The sound of flesh colliding made Jinpei Matsuda turn around subconsciously.

He looked at the curly-haired man in front of him with a little surprise... Uh, boy?
The other person looked at him with hatred in his eyes, which puzzled Matsuda Jinpei: "What are you doing?"

"Do you still want to play dumb?" The curly-haired boy's expression was very cold. "I know everything you did... I won't let you succeed!"

Matsuda Jinpei: “……???”

Qiudou Madai, why can he understand every word, but can't understand anything when they are put together?

Seeing that the other party was punching him again, Matsuda Jinpei also got angry.

How could he not be angry after being pinched by Angostura for so long?

It just so happened that he had been suppressing his emotions for a long time and was worried about having no place to release them.

Jinpei Matsuda has been fighting since he was a child. Who has he ever been afraid of?
So... Jinpei Matsuda decisively started fighting with the little brother in front of him who looked only as old as a high school student.

……

The Metropolitan Police Department, a group of police officers, and an undercover Irish are still discussing the case fiercely.

After a friendly reminder from Ireland, the police finally found the common point among several victims - they all went to Kyoto for a trip on Chinese Valentine's Day a year ago.

With this clue, other police officers launched an investigation with fervor - specifically, a group of police officers were waiting anxiously in the conference room.

This is just one of the developments;
Ireland also raised the question of the pattern of the locations of the bodies, and the police officers on the scene were also trying to find the common points among the six crime scenes.

Ireland, who forgot for a moment that his original intention was to investigate the public security, was also immersed in the joy of solving the case.

He clenched his fists and looked at the piles of documents on the table, with an inexplicable fire in his eyes:
The truth seemed to be getting closer and closer to him!

Right now.

"Hey...what? The criminal was caught?"

Kanagawa Prefecture Police Chief Shigeo Yokomizo received the call and stood up. "Tell me what happened?"

"In the city park of Ayase City? The victim reported the case?"

"Okay, I got it! Keep a good guard on this prisoner..."

Ireland, who was sitting on the main seat: “…”

Qiudou Madai, what's going on? Aren't they still investigating the case? Why did the criminal fall into their trap?
Inspector Megure was as confused as Ireland.

"Um, Officer Yokomizo, has the criminal been caught?"

Inspector Shigego Yokomizo of Kanagawa Prefecture was also puzzled. "Oh, yes... our police said they received a report of the crime. When they arrived at the scene, they found the criminal tied up in the park, with the victim sitting next to him... They said a kind passerby saw the criminal about to commit the crime and stepped in to stop him in time... but they don't know the name of the person who helped her."

The police officers at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just a passerby helped them catch the mastermind of the case that had troubled the police for more than a week?
What's the use of the police then?
Everyone has spontaneously fallen into emo to varying degrees.

Ireland is no exception.

Because... he suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something stupid - he was a spy lurking in the Metropolitan Police Department! Why should he help these police officers solve the case when he already knew who the criminal was?

And Ireland also speculated that the kind-hearted person passing by was most likely Vermouth.

"That's good... now that the criminal has been caught, we can rest assured." Ireland did not forget his disguise and encouraged the other emo police officers.

But the case was solved so confusingly, and everyone still felt like they were in a dream.

Many people comfort themselves in their hearts and think of it as a trip.

but……

When everyone else was packing up their things and leaving the meeting room one after another.

Miwako Sato was still sitting in her seat, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Gao Mu called her several times before he finally brought her back to life.

"...What's wrong, Takagi?" Sato Miwako reacted belatedly and looked at Takagi Wataru with a smile.

"Um, Officer Sato, everyone has left...what were you thinking about just now?" Takagi Wataru said with some concern.

Sato Miwako smiled and shook her head, "No, nothing, I just thought of something..."

Takagi Shigeru blinked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"I was just wondering, Matsuda didn't come in the afternoon. Could it be that he knew the criminal would be caught?" There was a complicated look in Sato Miwako's eyes.

However, to Takagi Wataru, this idea seemed a bit outrageous, and he laughed awkwardly a few times: "How is this possible? No matter how powerful Matsuda-senpai is, he should not be proficient in prophecy..."

Miwako Sato's eyes widened: "Ah? It seems that's right..."

But...why did she always feel that Matsuda seemed to be involved in this matter?
