Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 170: Revenge Attempted
The next second, Xiaolan hurriedly said: "Hurry up and contact Brother Makino!"

Just as Sonoko and Ayako were about to go find Makino, a familiar voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears: "No need, I've heard it."

When they saw Makino appear, everyone immediately surrounded him and looked at him nervously.

Makino casually took the detective badge from Ayumi and asked, "Conan, do you have any fruits or vegetables nearby?"

Conan, who was standing opposite the detective badge, immediately understood what Makino meant and quickly replied, "No, and there's no special smell either."

Hearing Conan say this, Makino nodded in understanding: "I see, wait a moment, I will catch you before the game time is over~"

After finishing speaking, Makino looked at Xiaolan and the others and said calmly, "Separate yourselves. I'll go bring Conan back, and you go to the ship's infirmary to explain the situation and get ready."

Hearing this, Xiaolan and the others nodded, and the tension in the air suddenly lessened a lot.

Since Makino said so, there is basically no need to worry about Conan's life safety.

Xiaolan and the others immediately went to the infirmary, while Makino turned and walked in another direction.

Shortly after.

Makino came to the lowest deck of the passenger ship, and a room called "Spiritual Peace Room" appeared in front of Makino.

The so-called funeral room is actually a morgue.

Since the "Aphrodite" is also a luxury cruise ship for passengers to travel, it is normal to have such rooms on the ship.

After all, there are a huge number of passengers taking cruise ships every year, and "death" on board is not uncommon. Therefore, most luxury cruise ships must be equipped with morgues and body bags in case of emergency.

After entering the spiritual room, Makino directly opened the heavy door of the stainless steel refrigerator and found Conan in the "box" inside.

At this moment, Conan has fallen into a coma, but it is far from the level of "life-threatening".

Makino picked up the unconscious Conan and turned to leave the soul rest room.

A few minutes later, in the infirmary.

Kogoro Mouri and Dr. Agasa, who learned of the situation, also rushed over. While looking at the unconscious Conan, they asked Makino about what had happened.

When they learned that Makino found Conan from the soul resting room, everyone's expressions became extremely serious.

Although no one knows who locked Conan in the cabinet in the spirit room, this person's behavior has far exceeded the level of a prank. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as attempted murder.

Not long after, under the help of the quilt and blanket, Conan slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Conan wake up, everyone was completely relieved.

The ship's doctor walked over to Conan, carefully examined Conan's body, and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with his body. As long as he lets his body rest in this warm state for a while, he will be back to normal soon."

"Thank you, doctor!" After thanking the doctor, Xiaolan walked to Conan and handed him a cup of hot drink.

It was not until Conan took a few sips of the hot drink that Maori Kogoro asked, "Conan, tell us the details of the situation at that time. Where were you attacked?"

Conan nodded and said, "I was looking for a place to hide in the dock, and then I was suddenly attacked from behind. Before I passed out, I seemed to see the criminal wearing a blue windbreaker..."

"Didn't you see the criminal's face?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

Conan shook his head: "No, that person seemed to be wearing a mask and sunglasses, and he fainted before I had time to take a closer look."

After two seconds of silence, Maori Kogoro suddenly looked at Makino and said, "I remember that when I went to visit Sister Li before, I saw a guy wearing a blue windbreaker and a hoodie in the corridor of the sixth-floor guest room! I remember that he seemed to have walked out of the room of the eighth-generation president and his daughter!"

At this point, Maori Kogoro shook his head and said, "But it's a pity that the man was wearing too many clothes, and I didn't see what he looked like..."

After finishing speaking, Maori Kogoro looked at Makino, frowned and said: "Officer Makino, what should we do now?"

Everyone in the infirmary looked at Makino, waiting for his decision.

Makino glanced at everyone and nodded, "From what Mr. Maori said, in addition to Conan, the Eighth Generation Chairman and his daughter may have also met with an accident."

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened instantly.

But in a flash, he understood why Makino said that.

The guy in the blue windbreaker he met at that time deliberately covered his face in the corridor. I'm afraid it was because he did something...

Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Kogoro Mori's head.

Everyone in the infirmary also looked at Makino in surprise.

Seeing this, Makino continued: "Mr. Maori, please go and check on the situation of the Eighth Chairman and his daughter with Xiaolan. Ayako, Sonoko, please come with me to the dock to check the scene there. As for Dr. Agasa, please take care of Conan and the children here."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

……

Not long after, Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi and others boarded the cruise ship by helicopter.

In addition to the "Yashiro Chairman's fan" and "bloodstains at the entrance of the dock" found by Makino and the other two in the dock, Mouri Kogoro and Ran also found Yashiro Takae who was assassinated in the room of the Yashiro Chairman and his daughter.

As for the Eighth Generation Chairman himself, he had long since disappeared, as if he had completely vanished from the ship.

After investigating the room and dock of the eighth-generation president and his daughter, and learning about the current situation from Makino, Inspector Megure and others all showed serious expressions.

Although the forensic police officers have not yet detected whether the fingerprints and bloodstains at the entrance of the dock belong to the eighth-generation president, based on the currently known situation, it is highly likely that the fingerprints and bloodstains belong to the eighth-generation president.

And according to the crew, the gate at the entrance of the dock seemed to have been opened not long ago.

The eighth-generation chairman himself was most likely pushed into the sea through the gate at the entrance to the dock by the criminals.

And that criminal is most likely the one who locked Conan in the soul-resting room.

With Makino's permission, Inspector Megure has sent people to contact the Japan Coast Guard to conduct a search in the nearby waters.

As for the "suspicious person in a blue windbreaker" seen by Conan and Mouri Kogoro, Inspector Megure and others have already investigated it.

According to Kogoro Mori's description, this person is about 170 cm tall and thin, but it is unknown whether he is a man or a woman.

Not only that, everyone also learned from the ship's management and the secretary of the eighth-generation president and his daughter that the blue windbreaker was a souvenir specially prepared for the guests and was not rare.

In addition to guests, all employees on the ship may get this windbreaker.

After confirming the current situation, Inspector Megure suddenly walked to Makino's side and whispered, "Counselor, Officer Shiratori just looked at the guest list, and it seems that former Prime Minister Niimi and his wife are also on the passenger list. Do we need to report this matter...?"

The caution on Inspector Megure's face betrayed his thoughts, and Makino could naturally see what Inspector Megure was worried about.

In order to avoid causing panic, the murder of the Eighth Generation Chairman and his daughter must be kept secret from the general passengers on the ship for the time being.

However, former Prime Minister Niimi and his wife were not considered “general guests”.

Although they are former prime ministers, the power in the hands of the Niimi couple cannot be underestimated. Therefore, in order to avoid "bad situations" that are not related to the case afterwards, Inspector Megure plans to inform the Niimi couple of the situation in advance.

Thinking of this, Makino shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let me handle that. Instead of this, you can send someone..."

"..."

After hearing what Makino said, a hint of shock flashed across Inspector Megure's eyes, and his expression became extremely solemn.

After Makino left the meeting room, Inspector Megure immediately called Takagi and Shiratori to his side and whispered to them what Makino had said before.

After listening to Inspector Megure's words, Takagi and Shiratori also quickly left the meeting room.

The next moment, Inspector Megure looked at Maori Kogoro in the audience and said, "Mauri, we already know the general situation of this matter. Before catching the criminal, you should go back to Conan first."

"But Inspector Megure, the criminal is still..." Just when he was halfway through his sentence, Maori Kogoro noticed the serious expression of Inspector Megure, and immediately remembered what Makino seemed to have said to Inspector Megure before leaving, "Could it be that Inspector Makino saw him..."

Inspector Megure nodded.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori stopped talking and walked out of the meeting room with a relaxed look on his face.

A few minutes later, in the infirmary.

Conan first looked helplessly at Ayumi and the others who were "visiting" the medical equipment not far away, then turned to look at Dr. Agasa beside him and whispered:
"Doctor, I feel like there's nothing wrong with my body anymore. Officer Makino was right just now. I'm afraid something has happened to Chairman Yashiro and the others!"

After seeing the "fiery" in Conan's eyes, Dr. Agasa quickly shook his head and said, "Shinichi, I know you want to solve the case. But with Makino here, you should rest well now. Besides, even if your mind is that of a high school detective, your body is that of a 'child'. Didn't the doctor also tell you to rest for a few more hours?"

"But……"

Before Conan could finish speaking, Xiaolan and others suddenly walked into the infirmary carrying food trays.

Xiaolan handed the plate to Conan and said, "Conan, although there is still some time before lunch, Sonoko and I found the kitchen staff and prepared a hearty lunch for you~"

Looking at the sumptuous food on the plate, Ayumi and the others nearby immediately came over after smelling the aroma.

"It smells so good, Conan!"

“There are so many delicious foods!”

"Conan, I don't think you can eat so much, right? How about I help you eat some?"

"..."

The next moment, Yuanzi smiled and patted Yuanta's head: "Don't be so anxious, can't we just go to the restaurant to eat later~"

Yuantai nodded reluctantly, looked at the food on the plate with envy, and wiped his saliva.

Seeing Yuantai's exaggerated look, Xiaolan and the others also laughed.

The next moment, Xiaolan looked at Dr. Agasa and said, "Dr. Agasa, you can take the children to eat first. I will stay here to take care of Conan."

Before Dr. Agasa could speak, Maori Kogoro suddenly said, "Xiaolan, you should go eat too. I'll just stay here and watch over this kid."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise.

Conan's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

After noticing everyone's gazes and expressions, Maori Kogoro frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Xiaolan looked at her father in surprise and said, "Dad, why are you suddenly..."

Without waiting for Xiaolan to finish, Yuanzi took Xiaolan's arm, turned around and pulled Xiaolan out the door: "It's rare for uncle to be so considerate, Xiaolan, we can't waste uncle's kindness!"

"Eh? But..." Xiaolan turned her head to look at her father behind her, a little hesitant.

Maori Kogoro narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sonoko and Xiaolan, then waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, go eat. I ate a little too much in the morning, and I didn't feel like eating at noon anyway."

Seeing this, everyone accepted Kogoro Mori's kindness, said goodbye to Kogoro Mori, and walked out of the infirmary.

At this time, only Conan and Mouri Kogoro were left in the infirmary.

After taking two bites of the food on the plate, Conan glanced at Kogoro Mouri beside him, then looked down at his watch, and an inexplicable smile flashed in his eyes.

……

At the same time, in Kusaka Hironari's room.

Screenwriter Kusaka felt a little nervous when he saw Makino and two strange police officers suddenly appearing in front of his door.

However, when he saw the kind smile on Makino's face, he immediately felt relieved.

It seemed that these policemen in front of him were only here to inquire about the Yayoi father and daughter, and they had not yet considered him a suspect.

Thinking of this, screenwriter Kusaka smiled and opened the door, welcoming Makino and others into the room: "Officer Makino, what happened? Who are these people behind you?"

When Kusaka Hironari opened his mouth to ask, Officer Shiratori and Officer Takagi beside Makino quickly went behind Kusaka Hironari and pressed him to the ground.

Makino turned around and closed the door.

Without waiting for Kusaka Hironari to speak again, Makino slowly walked up to Kusaka Hironari, leaned over and chuckled, "Kusaka Hironari, I'm arresting you for multiple crimes including attempted murder, illegal manufacturing, and use of explosives~"

Upon hearing this, Kusaka Guangcheng was stunned for a moment.

But the next moment, he loudly defended himself: "Officer Makino, what are you talking about?! I don't know anything..."

Makino took the black controller that Shiratori took out of Kusaka Hironari's pocket and shook it in front of Kusaka Hironari: "Oh? Then what about the blood on your hair and the bruises on your neck? And what is this black controller?"

After hearing what Makino said and seeing the bomb controller in Makino's hand, Kusaka Hironari's eyes widened instantly and fell silent.

He knew that he had completely lost the room for defense, and these "evidences" were enough to prove that he was the criminal.

Seeing that Hironari Kusaka pleaded guilty, Officer Takagi took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and put them on Hironari Kusaka's hands.

The next moment, Shiratori and Takagi helped Kusaka Hironari up from the ground.

Kusaka Hironari looked at Makino in front of him and chuckled, "Humph! As expected of you, you are the Makino Police Officer. When did you start to doubt me? Did that kid see my face? Well, never mind~ Although I didn't completely complete my revenge, I have killed my two biggest targets with my own hands. I am satisfied!"

Makino blinked and said, "But... after all, you didn't kill anyone?"

Kusaka Hironari: “?”

Looking at Makino's expression that didn't seem to be deceiving him, Kusaka Hironari was stunned for a moment.

It was only then that he suddenly remembered that Makino had previously said that his crimes were bombing and... attempted murder?!
