Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 280: Kill all those who ask questions

"Nothing, let's talk about what happened today." Yingsheng said.

He thinks of new ideas every day for the use of the [Frenzy] skill, and tornado is one of them.

But to achieve that scale, the consumption of murderous intent would be absolutely enormous. He is far from being that wealthy now, so it's just a thought.

It would be great if we could use the power of celestial phenomena to create a tornado to destroy the police hospital. That would be absolutely refreshing.

"Where should I begin..."

Megure Jusan pondered for a few breaths and said, "Brother Shuiyue, do you really know nothing about your parents' research?"

Yingsheng laughed and said, "If I am still a suspect, you don't have to send me to Ebina City for any social gathering. Just go directly to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Megure Jusan quickly shook his head, realizing that his question was somewhat ambiguous. He apologized and continued, "It's like this. Brother Shuiyue's parents seem to be studying some very high-end life sciences in that research institute, which involves huge interests. And then...

Ok……

Do you think they are good guys or bad guys?"

Hotaru sighed, "Inspector Megure, you are such a bad narrator.

But I am not completely ignorant of these things. I guess I understand what you mean. They are doing human experiments, right? The subject is my former neighbor, Kiyoko Xuesong.

Actually, I am a little curious about this. Kudo should have told you all this, but you still act as if you don't know anything. What does this mean?
Is Kudo sure he's okay? "

Megure Jusan was silent for a few breaths, not knowing how to answer. So when a light rain finally began to fall from the sky, he simply skipped over this section as if nothing had happened and continued to talk about what happened afterwards. This time, he narrated everything in a straightforward manner.

Apart from the parts that Hotaru already knew, the outline of the afternoon and evening story that Megure Jusan told him was:

At five o'clock this afternoon, Megure Juzo, Kudo Shinichi and a group of police officers from the Third Investigation Division rushed to the area around 6-chome 26, Beika-cho to survey and ambush. Out of caution, they sent fully armed special police to carry out the arrest.

As they expected, a gunfight did take place there, but it was obvious that the SWAT police were superior and won easily.

However, their joy did not last long, as a huge explosion occurred right before their eyes, devouring the building and the lives of many special police officers.

When they were frightened and angry, the poisonous snakes lurking around them stretched out their fangs at them again.

boom--! ! !
Kudo Shinichi and Megure Juzo were very lucky to witness again the scene they had seen before today, the gorgeous flower of life blooming from the neck of a human.

It's a sniper!

I don’t know if it was because their identities were exposed that they didn’t care at all, or because time was too tight and they couldn’t find a better sniper position. The two snipers stood on the rooftop of a nearby building very arrogantly, allowing the police to clearly see their appearance.

A lean, gray-haired old man.

Brown-red mushroom head.

They are all old acquaintances and the police had dealt with them not long ago.

The exchange of fire is not described here, but in the end the police found nothing. Kudo Shinichi stayed at the explosion site and searched with the police, trying to find some clues, while Megure Jusan returned to the police hospital to send the innocent Mizutsuki Hotaru away.

"That's it."

After finishing his long speech, Megure Jusan took a few sips from the teacup in the armrest box, then sighed: "The location you tracked through Brother Shuiyue is accurate, but after our subsequent investigation, we found that it is not their safe house.

Instead, it could be a safe house for their enemies.

The man whom Kudo called Uozuka and you, Suigetsu called Vodka, was probably just carrying out a mission there at that time.

Alas, he did say at that time that he had something else to do, what a pity, who knew it would be such a coincidence.

They left a trap there for others, probably targeting Xue Songqingzi's party, and we police just happened to run into it and stepped on the landmine for them."

Megure Jusan described it in great detail, and Hotaru kept tapping on his knees, even feeling that it was a little too detailed.

Oh no, this isn't an attempt to drag him down.

Yingsheng frowned and said, "Officer Megure, what you mean is that my identity as a traitor has not been exposed, and you still hope that I can continue to assist the police?"

"Forehead……"

Megure Jusan looked up at the rearview mirror, with a look of trepidation and expectation in his eyes: "Can I ask Brother Shuiyue for help?"

Yingsheng's brows relaxed and he smiled slightly. Megure Jusan felt relieved and was about to express his gratitude when he heard:
"Of course not."

"........."

"I say, Officer Megure, you and Kudo have a strong sense of justice, but you are a little too excited to get involved in this kind of thing?" Hotaru clicked his tongue, "The most important thing is, I'm an innocent person. Are you sure you want to take me with you? Do you have an order from your superiors?"

Megure Jusan was silent for a few breaths. "The Criminal Investigation Division is responsible for investigating serious cases, including murder, robbery, kidnapping, arson and other crimes. I have the authority to investigate this matter. Brother Shuiyue, I'm sorry, if you don't want to..."

Yingsheng interrupted, "Are you sure you didn't lose your mind because of anger? How many of your colleagues died?"

laugh--! ! !
The vehicle made a sharp turn and nearly crashed into a roadside shop. Megure Jusan held the steering wheel with one hand, his entire upper body turned to the back, and said with a sullen face: "Brother Shuiyue, what were you talking about just now?"

Yingsheng sighed softly: "I said, anger will make people lose their reason. You should be calm and don't act rashly. Shooting police officers openly in Tokyo has changed the nature of this matter. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a provocation to the face of a country.

I really don't understand why you are in such a hurry. There will be arrangements from above, so just obey their orders.

Also, watch the road and be careful of collisions."

As he spoke, Yingsheng had already used enlightenment on the vehicle.

Just as Megure Juzo was about to speak, his upper body suddenly swung backwards. A huge push on his back made him panic and he quickly turned around to hold the steering wheel.

Bang——! ! !
As if hitting a roadblock, a black shadow passed across Megure Jusan's eyelids. Amid the rapid click of the engine suddenly shutting down and the wisps of white smoke rising, the shadow seemed to faintly flash with a bright luster.

pat--!
Da da da da…

The flying shadow fell heavily on the hard concrete road, and then rolled backwards for a long distance until it hit a car in front and stopped.

The fast-paced world suddenly pressed the pause button, and the confused looks on the faces of passers-by were clearly visible.

Next second,
"what!!!"

Some enthusiastic female citizen blew the horn to cheer for this beautiful world. Bang!
The car door slammed and the car body trembled slightly. Megure Jusan still had a dazed look on his face and sat in the driver's seat without moving. His pupils, which had never closed for a moment, clearly reflected Yingsheng walking quickly in front of his car and rushing to the back of the car in front.

Squat down and look at the figure.

After a moment, he looked towards him, a look of relief on his face, and said loudly:

"He's not dead yet, call an ambulance."

"!!!!!!"

His heart suddenly began to beat violently, and the world became noisy in an instant, even causing Megure Jusan to have some tinnitus. A long, low-frequency sound from an old radio kept echoing, pulling his mental consciousness extremely far away.

He actually hit someone with his car!
Because the lives of the younger generations he saw in the daytime disappeared, and because anger destroyed his sanity!

He hurt innocent people!
Fortunately,

Good luck!

That person is not dead yet, he still has a chance to make amends, it is not impossible to atone for his sins!

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Megure Jusan's eyes. His whole body trembled slightly with an unspeakable emotion, and he took out his cell phone with some trembling.

He dialed 119 and the call was answered quickly. Megure Jusan said in a hurry: "Hello! I bumped into someone. The address is..."

As he spoke, he had already opened the car door and ran quickly towards the person he had bumped into.

At a glance, he felt that the woman seemed familiar. Looking more closely, he saw that her lips were moving, as if she was whispering something.

Are you asking for help?
Are you missing your family?
Megure Juzo felt heavy in his heart. He apologized to her, looked around to determine the exact location and landmark buildings, and quickly informed the operator.

Therefore, he did not see that Yingsheng was also talking to the man who fell to the ground.

No, Megure Jusan still saw a few syllables.

It was: "I'm sorry...I need you...you'll be okay..."

what--

It’s encouragement, so that the other party won’t give up the will to live.

After hanging up the phone, Megure Jusan looked at the woman on the ground for a long time, then looked up at Yingsheng with a very complicated look: "Brother Shuiyue, you are right, I was too irrational just now, and almost made a big mistake. What happened before..."

Yingsheng stood up and interrupted: "Let's talk about it later. I have more responsibility for this matter. I distracted you."

He took out a bank card and handed it to Megure Juzo: "There is one million in it, and the password is six 4s. It is the legitimate income from my part-time job in Kabukicho. You can use it to pay her medical expenses. If it is not enough, let me know. I will always be responsible."

Part-time job in Kabukicho?

Megure Jusan was stunned for a second, then he remembered what Kudo Shinichi told him about "Cowherd" and "Firefly". He waved his hands quickly: "How can this be? It's mainly my fault. I was distracted before, and the car just happened to have a problem. I..."

Yingsheng stuffed the card into his pocket, pressed it down, and smiled, "My problem is bigger, that's it, no need to say more. If this incident will have any negative impact on you, Officer Megure, within the Metropolitan Police Department, please try to put the blame on me.

I'm sorry that I don't have enough courage to go undercover, but I'm still willing to help so that people with justice won't be entangled in trivial matters.

Well, in order to make me look even more inappropriate, I will leave first. See you later."

Megure Jusan was completely stunned. His impression of Hotaru collapsed and rebuilt several times. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Yingsheng smiled and turned away, waving his hand: "I have to go to the social gathering, remember to say this, well, and this is the truth."

He walked alone into the distance in the rain, stepping on the reflections of the neon lights, and the aftermath reflected his black suit.

Megure Juzo stood there for a long time without moving, until the sound of an ambulance siren came from afar and woke him up.

He felt that he would never forget the scene just now.

The ambulance was getting closer and closer, but Yingsheng's figure had already disappeared into the crowd and disappeared in this urban jungle.

Megure Jusan withdrew his gaze and looked down at the woman on the ground who was already in a coma or hemorrhagic shock. Her bright red blood had already spread on the wet ground. Megure Jusan took a step back and felt like he was looking at a blooming Epiphyllum.

After a while, the ambulance arrived.

Watching the medical staff skillfully giving first aid to the injured and then carrying her onto a stretcher, Megure Jusan stood in the gradually increasing rain and spoke slowly:
"Brother Kudo, did you find anything?"

"I'm sorry, Officer Megure, there's nothing. I'm even wondering if I made a wrong guess."

Kudo Shinichi's voice was heard from the headphones, but compared to today during the day, it seemed inexplicably more childish.

Megure Jusan asked again: "According to what you said, I used chewing gum to install a bug on the bottom of his shoe. Did you hear anything?"

"He got on a taxi and told the driver to rush to Ebina City as quickly as possible. He didn't say anything after that." Kudo Shinichi replied. He paused and said, "But he just sent an email to someone, the content is:
——I was on my way to a social gathering, and Officer Megure drove me there, and soon we were already at Yakumo-san-chome.”

Megure Jusan was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Combining the various wonderful guesses that Kudo Shinichi had told him before, he suddenly had an unreasonable guess in his mind: Could it be that this car accident was planned by Mizutsuki Hotaru?

impossible.

"I don't know, it's just..." Kudo Shinichi paused, "The other party replied, saying..." His tone suddenly became a little strange, "It was 'Don't I have a high school girl who is more attractive to me? If you don't come over, believe it or not, I will cheat on you.'

Sorry, Officer Megure, it seems I am just overthinking."

"........."

Megure Jusan was also quite speechless: "Brother Shuiyue, how many women has he been involved with? Brother Kudo, can you rest assured if Xiaolan follows him?"

"Don't talk about this anymore. It has nothing to do with me." Kudo Shinichi said calmly, "Sui Yue replied again. It was all some coaxing words. She said she would go to see her in two nights and asked her to be patient. There was nothing else."

He was silent for a few breaths, and then said, "This may seem normal, but Shuiyue's mobile mailbox was completely clean before, without a single incoming or outgoing email."

"Forehead……"

Megure Jusan thought that his brother was being too suspicious, so he scratched his head and said, "He often contacts different women. To prevent them from getting jealous, it's basic to delete emails at any time. Although this is also excessive, it doesn't mean anything."

"Maybe. I hope that's all."
