Chapter 150 Actors Appear
Not long after, in the Criminal Department's conference room.

After all the police officers had learned the details of the case, Minister Odagiri began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.

"Manager Matsumoto, you and Inspector Imai from the Investigation Cooperation Section will go to Nishitama City and cooperate with the local police station to establish a temporary investigation headquarters as soon as possible. I will let the chemistry department police officers from the Institute of Science and Technology assist you.

In addition, due to the special nature of this case, we will cooperate with the Security Department, Public Security Department, and Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. Makino and Uno, you will be responsible for liaison and coordination between the various departments.

Everyone else, put aside your non-urgent work for the time being and start investigating the 'Red Siamese Cat' criminal organization from many years ago!"

--"yes!!"

After the meeting, Minister Odagiri called Makino and Uno to his office.

After briefly instructing other departments to coordinate the handover, Director Odagiri looked up at Makino with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Makino, what do you think?"

Makino was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "From their actions of blowing up the laboratory with a bomb and posting a statement of crime online, it seems that their purpose was not a terrorist attack, but to attract public attention.

In addition, from the process of their breaking into the laboratory, it can be clearly seen that this group of people have extremely strong discipline, but before leaving, they "accidentally" left an ampoule with a "red Siamese cat" logo in the underground garage of the institute.

To transfer the bacteria into their homemade containers in such a short time, they had to have a chemist who was extremely proficient in bacteria, and he couldn't make any mistakes."

After saying this, Makino couldn't help but complain about "Nishitama City" in his mind.

He originally thought that Mihua was already a typical example of a person who suffered many disasters, but he did not expect that there was a "master" like Nishitama City.

Moreover, all cases related to Nishitama City seem to be complicated.

After listening to Makino's words, Minister Odagiri was silent for two seconds, frowned and said: "You mean... they didn't actually take the bacteria away?"

Hearing this, Makino nodded.

As expected of one of the few "excellent police officers" in the world of science, he understood what I wanted to express directly.

The next moment, Makino continued, "I looked through the information of the 'Red Siamese Cat' before. They carried out terrorist attacks specifically targeting large conglomerates more than a decade ago, but their main members have basically been arrested.

Regardless of whether the criminal group that blew up the laboratory has any connection with the Red Siamese Cat Group of that year, since they called themselves this name, it means that their next actions will definitely be able to "utilize" this name.

Their next move is likely to be similar to the Red Siamese Cat Group back then, both of which are related to large consortiums. However, this is just my personal speculation at the moment, and there is no substantial evidence."

Minister Odagiri glanced at Makino in front of him, closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds.

Although Makino said that this was just his guess, so far, the accuracy of this kid's "guess" is almost infinitely close to 100%.

And to be honest, he actually believed that Makino's judgment was absolutely correct.

However, this case is different from previous cases. Any carelessness will lead to extremely serious consequences.

By then, neither Makino nor the Metropolitan Police Department would be able to "get away unscathed."

In order to avoid such a situation, they could only treat Makino's guess as just "guesswork" for the time being.

Thinking of this, Minister Odagiri opened his eyes and looked at Counselor Uno beside him, and said seriously: "Uno, please take care of the liaison and coordination with other departments. Also, the speculation that Makino mentioned is only known to the three of us..."

"Yes!" Counselor Uno glanced at Makino beside him and immediately understood what Minister Odagiri meant.

Seeing Counselor Uno nod, Minister Odagiri immediately turned to look at Makino and said, "It seems that you already have your own ideas. Next, you should act according to your own ideas.

But before you find definite evidence, don't tell others your guess! Otherwise, once something goes wrong, public opinion will be..."

Hearing this, Makino nodded seriously: "Yes, I understand."

He understood what Minister Odagiri meant.

He asked himself to conduct the investigation privately according to his own ideas. In this way, even if something went wrong, he would not have to bear any "responsibility" and would not be criticized by the media and public opinion.

……

A few days later, inside the airship.

Seeing Makino and Ayako boarding the boat, Sonoko immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Ryuichi?! I thought you couldn't come today!"

Due to the huge impact of the "Red Siamese Cat" incident that happened just two days ago, the entire Metropolitan Police Department was in a state of tension.

These two days, on the way to and from school, Yuanzi often saw patrol cars and police officers passing by on the street.

Therefore, Sonoko originally thought that Makino would cancel the airship schedule because of this incident, but unexpectedly, Makino still went to the appointment.

Thinking of this, Yuanzi couldn't help but feel moved.

Hearing this, Makino chuckled and said, "Haven't I already promised you? I won't break my promise."

Having said that, Makino glanced at the other passengers in the hall with his peripheral vision, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

It seems that almost all the actors have arrived~
After greeting Sonoko, Makino walked over to Xiaolan, Maori Kogoro and others and greeted each other.

In addition to Xiaolan and the other two, Professor Agasa, Ayumi and the other two also accepted Sonoko's invitation and came to the airship.

When Conan saw Makino, he was stunned.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Makino would come on this airship.

Normally, Officer Makino should be busy investigating the "Red Siamese Cat" case. How could he have the time to appear here?
At this time, Maori Kogoro asked the question for Conan: "Officer Makino, how could you...?"

Makino glanced at the waiters and the strange men and women in the distance, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Although a detailed investigation has been conducted, there is still no clue at present. I am afraid that the case cannot be closed in a short time. I have been busy these days, so I took a special leave to come here to relax~"

"Really?" Kogoro Mouri folded his hands and nodded.

As a former police officer, he could fully understand what Makino meant by "busy".

In order to investigate this case, Officer Makino and his colleagues may have been working all night long these days.

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro continued, "What do you think, Officer Makino? Do you want to take advantage of the long-awaited break to have a couple of drinks with me and have a good sleep while you're drunk?"

Before Makino could speak, Xiaolan on the side pinched Maori Kogoro's shoulder with dissatisfaction and said, "Dad?! You actually let Officer Makino drink with you during the break time you finally had?!"

Maori Kogoro frowned and said, "Tsk, I'm not wrong! Drinking a little wine and then having a good sleep is the best way to restore physical strength and spirit..."

"Huh?!" Xiaolan increased the strength in her hands.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Conan, who was standing by, looked up at the smile on Makino's lips and frowned.

wrong!

From what he knew, Officer Makino was definitely not just here to rest! He must be hiding something!
However, at present, he couldn't guess why Makino would take leave and board this airship when the case had not been solved yet.

As the airship slowly took off, Ayumi and the others began to communicate excitedly.

"Wow! That must be an amusement park down there. It looks so small!"

"Really? Let me see!"

"Wow, the castle looks so small! It's almost like a model~"

"..."

Makino and his companions on the side also looked at the beautiful scenery below with curiosity, their eyes full of joy and appreciation.

Compared to faster aircraft, the slow-moving flying boat is undoubtedly more suitable for enjoying the beautiful scenery below.

Only Kogoro Mouri sat on the chair with a pale face, his back to Makino and others, pretending that he did not exist at all.

After looking at the scenery outside, Genta looked at Sonoko with a questioning look and asked, "By the way, will Kidd really come?"

After hearing the doubt, Yuanzi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and squinted his eyes and said, "Of course! Uncle has received his message."

After finishing speaking, Sonoko looked down at her phone and began to repeat, "I gladly accept your invitation to the airship, but I cannot bear to see you, a 72-year-old, being forced into a state of tension for six hours.

I will go to receive the treasure in the evening, after the airship enters the sky above Osaka City. Until then, please enjoy your airship trip, Kaito Kidd. "

After reading it, Sonoko looked at Makino and Ayako with anticipation: "This is the third time we've seen Kaito Kid, right?! I'm really looking forward to what will happen then!!"

Makino, Ayako: "..."

If Kyogoku were really here, his face would probably become very gloomy.

At this moment, a strange man slowly walked towards Makino and said with a smile: "You are the Counselor Makino of the Metropolitan Police Department, right? I often hear about your deeds~"

Seeing Makino turning his head to look at him, he extended his hand and said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Fujioka Takamichi, a reporter. This time I came here specifically to watch the showdown between Suzuki Advisor and Kaito Kidd."

Makino smiled and shook hands with him.

The next moment, a trace of vigilance flashed in Fujioka Takamichi's eyes, and he pretended to speak casually: "By the way, Officer Makino, you boarded this airship this time, are you here to arrest Kaito Kidd?"

"Of course not, arresting Kaito Kid is not my job. I came here just to take a vacation. After all, a case like that happened a few days ago, and I haven't had a good rest these two days~" Makino looked at Fujioka Takashi with a polite smile again.

Seeing this, Fujioka Takashi's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he chuckled and said, "I see, then I won't bother you anymore, you can take this opportunity to have a good rest~"

After saying this, Fujioka Takamichi said goodbye to Makino and the others, then turned and left.

Makino casually glanced at Fujioka Takamichi's back, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Just now, Makino felt obvious malice from this Fujioka Takamichi, but this made him feel a little "excited" and "satisfied".

In his eyes, this guy was much more pleasing to the eye than Moriya Teiji and Ruyue Fengshui.

This Fujioka Takamichi is simply my lucky star~
Thanks to his bold plan, he was able to trigger an "EX level" mission!

the other side.

A slightly plump man wearing a pink shirt walked up to Kogoro Mouri with a man and a woman.

"You are the famous detective Maori Kogoro, right? I am Mizukawa Masaki, the producer of Nichiuri TV. The two behind me are reporter Nishitani Kasumi and photographer Ishimoto Junpei~"

"Please give me more advice~" X2
Maori Kogoro glanced at the three people and asked in confusion: "The Nichimi TV program team... there should be more than three people, right?"

"Ah... because that incident just happened two days ago, so we are short of staff..." Producer Mizukawa scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I see..." Kogoro Mouri nodded.

Indeed, compared with those terrorists who possess terrifying bacteria, Kaito Kidd's "weight" is undoubtedly much smaller.

After noticing the movement from Kogoro Mouri, Makino took a closer look at the three people from Nichimi TV.

He remembered that in addition to Kogoro Mori, Inspector Nakamori and others, there were "undercover agents" from the terrorist organization among the waiters on the ship and the so-called reporters and TV station staff.

But he couldn't remember who it was exactly.

Thinking of this, Makino blinked and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

These are all minor problems. At worst, we can just deal with them all at once.

At this time, Jiro Suzuki also walked into the hall with his pet dog Lupin and several bodyguards in black uniforms.

Then came Suzuki Jirogi's voice filled with dissatisfaction and anger:
"Hmph! Not only did those guys steal my newspaper headlines, they even prevented me from getting a helicopter flight permit for filming my autobiographical movie! Those damn thieves are really infuriating! Isn't that right, Lupin?"

"Woof!" Lupin on the side immediately shouted loudly.

Seeing this scene, Conan twitched his mouth and smiled helplessly.

As expected of consultant Suzuki who is determined to defeat Kaito Kid, he actually gave his dog such a name.

If the “real person” knew about this…

The next second, after venting his inner dissatisfaction, Suzuki Jirokichi smiled and greeted Makino and the others.

After seeing Suzuki Jirokichi, Mizukawa, the producer of Nichimi TV, immediately came forward with two colleagues and said, "Advisor Suzuki, I'm going to ask for your care today. By the way, this airship is really luxurious~"

"Hmph~ To broadcast from such a luxurious airship, they only sent three staff members..." Suzuki Jirokichi curled his lips.

Hearing this, producer Mizukawa said awkwardly: "I'm so sorry, because of that incident, we really can't spare any manpower..."

Seeing that the time was right, two staff members behind producer Mizukawa suddenly spoke up: "By the way, speaking of this, what exactly do those criminals want to do with that bacteria?"

"Yes, yes, isn't it said that once infected, one will die?"

"Yes, and I heard that it can be transmitted through droplets!"

"..."

Looking at the two people in front of him who suddenly started asking and answering questions, Makino smiled helplessly.

Well, now he knows who the undercover agent is in the TV station...
