Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 192 The logic of using the antidote
——"Go to hell!!"

Nishijo Taiga rushed towards Makino while roaring, and pointed the tip of the knife at Makino's heart.

Seeing Nishijo Taiga's "dementia-like" behavior, Conan and the others immediately shook their heads.

From Officer Makino stopping Nishijo Taiga and Sakura Masazo, to Officer Sato and the others entering the house, to the scene before our eyes...

Everything happened too suddenly, so they did not fully understand the situation.

But even so, they could still guess what Nishijo Taikawa was thinking at the moment.

In general, the escape route he chose was not wrong.

After all, no matter who you ask, it is obviously easier to escape by the window where only one person is guarding than at the door of the box where the police are gathered.

but……

The man standing by the window is not an ordinary person...

Thinking of this, Conan and the others couldn't help but close their eyes and sighed softly, as if they had already seen the "end" of Nishijo Taiga in their minds.

——“Crack! Crack!”

In less than a moment, two crisp voices rang out in the room, followed by Nishijo Taiga's painful howls that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.

Nishijo Taiga knelt on the ground with a ferocious expression, his arms hanging down in an extremely unnatural manner.

No one saw clearly how Officer Makino made his move, but Nishijo Taiga's appearance at this time already explained something.

Just as the monk Long Yuan took a step forward, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him and slowly stopped.

He looked at Nishijo Taiga lying on the ground in shock, then looked at Officer Makino who was holding a dagger and smiling. He stood there in a daze for a moment.

What... happened?
I shouldn't have blinked just now, right? !

the other side.

Conan and his friends, who already knew Makino's strength, also showed expressions of astonishment.

In their impression, Officer Makino always seemed to solve criminals so "quickly", but for some reason, they always felt that Officer Makino seemed to have become more powerful than before...

At that moment just now, they didn't see Officer Makino's move at all.

If they didn't infer from the wailing Nishijo Taiga, they wouldn't even know what Officer Makino did at that moment.

Conan and Hattori Heiji swallowed and looked at each other.

Although they didn't speak, they both understood what the other wanted to say from each other's "horrified" eyes:

——"Officer Makino's skills can no longer be described as 'terrifying'. Is Officer Makino... really a human?!"

……

Soon after, Officers Sato and Otaki immediately stepped forward and handcuffed Sakura Masazo and Nishijo Taiga who were on the ground.

After handing the two men over to their subordinates, Officers Sato and Otaki immediately walked up to Makino and saluted.

After putting his hands down, Officer Sato said, "Counselor, how are Shiratori and Takagi doing?"

"It's over on their end too. All those people have been arrested. There are no casualties." Makino nodded.

After hearing that Shiratori, Takagi and others had successfully completed their mission and no one was injured, Officer Sato also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Makino handed the short knife in his hand to Officer Otaki and said, "Send these two people to the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, and then your mission will be completed. According to the arrangement above, the interrogation and summary work will be handled by Inspector Ayanokouji and other Kyoto police officers. You should go back and rest early today, and don't forget the meeting tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" X2
After a brief investigation at the scene, Officers Sato and Otaki left the box with their subordinates.

Seeing this, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately ran out behind him.

It was not until this moment that Ryuuen, Xiaolan and others in the room finally came to their senses from the previous "situation" and looked at Makino.

Even Kogoro Mori's drunkenness seemed to have eased a little.

He walked up to Makino with uncertain steps and asked in confusion, "Officer Makino, what on earth is this...?"

The other people in the room also looked at Makino in confusion, as if they were all expecting Makino's answer.

Everything that just happened happened so fast that many people are still confused.

Makino looked around at everyone and said, "To put it simply, Nishijo Taiga and Sakura Masao were actually the main members of the thieves' group 'Genji Hotaru' many years ago. The recent murders in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto are likely their work."

At this point, Makino looked at Ryuen beside him and continued, "Their goal is to take the 'Medicine Buddha' that was stolen eight years ago. But don't worry, we have found the statue. After the case is closed tomorrow, the Kyoto police will be responsible for delivering it to your temple."

"What? Found it?!" Long Yuan looked at Makino in front of him in surprise, his eyes full of surprise.

In this way, we can catch the open event the day after tomorrow!

After listening to Makino's explanation, everyone present finally understood what had happened before.

Only Kogoro Mori was still a little confused, with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

……

At the same time, outside the hotel.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were standing in front of Officer Otaki, listening carefully to Officer Otaki's description.

After Officer Otaki finished speaking, Conan and Hattori Heiji both lowered their heads in silence with complicated expressions.

According to Officer Otaki, Officer Makino seemed to have assigned them the task a long time ago.

-

Officers Otaki and Sato are responsible for investigating and arresting Sakura Masazo and Nishijo Taiga.

Officers Shiratori, Takagi and others are responsible for investigating and arresting many of Nishijo Taiga's men, and recovering the Yakushi Nyorai Buddha statue that was stolen by "Genji Hotaru".

Officer Ayanokouji in Kyoto is responsible for providing intelligence and support to each group, as well as handling the aftermath.

-

After a moment's silence, Hattori Heiji asked, "Officer Otaki, have the police already targeted Sakura Masazo and Nishijo Taiga?"

"No, in fact, we only learned the names of these two people today." Officer Otaki shook his head.

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

The next moment, Officer Otaki glanced at his subordinates not far away and said, "Okay, Heiji, we can talk later if you have anything to say. I have to send these two guys to the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters first."

After saying goodbye to Officer Otaki, Hattori Heiji and Conan's expressions became even more "exciting".

They knew that if Officer Otaki was not lying, it proved that Officer Makino had never heard of these two people before today.

In this case……

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji lowered his head and looked at Conan: "Kudo, you should have been with Officer Makino all day, right? What happened before we met?" Conan shook his head helplessly: "Hattori, I understand what you mean. We did meet Sakura Masazo and Nishijo Taiga in the temple this morning, but we just said hello. About the Buddha statue and the puzzle... Officer Makino only knew about it at that time."

After hearing Conan's words, Hattori Heiji fell silent again.

Putting this way, it seems that there is no possibility of "intelligence inequality".

But this means...they lost again so quickly and so inexplicably? !
hateful! !
Just as Hattori Heiji was thinking, Conan next to him also remembered what Officer Otaki had said before.

"Wait, Hattori, didn't Officer Otaki just mention 'recycling Buddha statues'?" Thinking of this, Conan quickly looked up at Hattori Heiji.

"Yes, he just...wait?! Officer Makino solved the puzzle?!"

Hattori Heiji finally reacted and his eyes widened again.

After a few seconds of silence, the two looked at each other with empty eyes, tried to move their bodies and walked back to the hotel.

……

The next morning.

Shiratori and Takagi drove Makino to the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters to attend the case investigation meeting.

With evidence present and the plan having completely failed, Sakura Shozo and Nishijo Taikawa confessed everything they knew.

Together with the knife-wielding elements captured by Shiratori, Takagi and others, Nishijo Taiga's "entire plan" was exposed to the sun.

Therefore, the so-called investigation is just a superficial statement.

The real purpose of the meeting was to divide the responsibilities of each police station and distribute the credit to each.

Makino already knew the ins and outs of this, so when arranging the tasks, he deliberately did not leave out Officer Otaki in Osaka and Officer Ayanokouji in Kyoto.

With Makino's intention to distribute the credit, the meeting went very smoothly and the police headquarters in various places received equal credit.

Although this case is not particularly complicated, since it involves three places, it is considered a "big case" both in public opinion and within the police organization.

With the support of such major case achievements, the path to promotion for Officers Shiratori, Sato and others is undoubtedly much closer.

If nothing unexpected happens, at the next "promotion meeting", even if Makino doesn't mention it, I'm afraid someone else will mention their names.

After the meeting, Officer Shiratori prepared to send Makino back to Sannoji Temple, and Inspector Ayanokouji followed closely with his subordinates and the Buddha statue.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Sanno Temple, Makino saw Conan, the temple abbot and others standing outside the temple.

Apparently someone had told them in advance that the Buddha statue would arrive soon.

Inspector Ayanokouji and his subordinates carefully carried the Buddha statue into the temple, and Hattori Heiji took the opportunity to put the "white hair" back on the Buddha statue.

With the gratitude of the abbot Yuankai and the monk Ryuen, Makino and others left Sannoji together.

Now that the commission has come to an end, Kogoro Mori also plans to have a good day in Kyoto.

Originally, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were planning to spend a day with Makino and the others in Kyoto, but because of what happened yesterday, the relationship between the two was now obviously a little awkward.

Therefore, Hattori Heiji found an excuse and prepared to return to Osaka, and Kazuha followed closely behind and got on Hattori Heiji's motorcycle.

Although neither of them said anything special, everyone had already sensed a hint of "love" from their blushing faces before they left.

Under Conan's blessing gaze, Hattori Heiji and Kazuha bid farewell to everyone and left Kyoto.

After Hattori Heiji and the other man left, Maori Kogoro immediately looked at Makino beside him and blinked: "Makino, your work is finished, right? How about we...?"

Hearing this, Makino understood what he meant and nodded with a smile, saying, "Mr. Maori, I'm here to treat you all at noon today. How about we have a good meal? I heard that there is a restaurant that provides local special wine~"

"As expected of you, Makino! You are my soulmate! Then I shall respectfully obey your command!" Upon hearing the word 'fine wine', little stars immediately appeared in Kogoro Mori's eyes.

Seeing this, Xiaolan, who was standing by, wanted to step forward and "remind" Kogoro Mouri with her fist.

But after seeing the smile on her father's face and Officer Makino's nod, Xiaolan unclenched her fists and sighed, "Dad, it's okay to drink, but we can't always let Brother Makino pay for us, right?"

"Hahaha! Of course! The commission for the previous case hasn't been spent yet? Makino, let's have a good drink today!" Kogoro Mouri patted his chest and laughed.

Seeing this, Xiaolan smiled helplessly.

Although she didn't want her father to drink all the time, she didn't want to deprive her father of his few "hobbies" at this time since they had finally come to Kyoto for a trip.

On the other side, unlike Makino and the other two, Conan did not have any smile on his face.

It’s more like his face was gloomy than smiling.

Last night, when he learned from Officer Otaki that the Buddha statue was found in the "Gyokuryuji Temple", he and Hattori Heiji started from the result and deduced the answer to the "puzzle picture".

The content on that picture actually refers to the streets of Kyoto. After connecting the streets above and adding "丶", we get the word "玉"...

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Makino.

Judging from the time, Officer Makino seemed to have contacted Officer Shiratori and others yesterday morning and asked them to quietly investigate near Yulong Temple.

In other words, Makino may have solved the puzzle at that time.

……

Not long after, Conan finally found an opportunity. He avoided the sight of Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro and walked quickly to Makino's side: "Officer Makino, you..."

Before Conan could finish, Makino shook his head and said, "Compared to this, do you still remember the antidote?"

After a moment of hesitation, Conan quickly touched his pocket: "Of course! I always carry it with me..."

Having said that, Conan's expression suddenly became a little lonely.

He recalled what happened last night, whether it was the "confessions" of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, or the lonely expression on Xiaolan's face when she looked up at the night sky, he took them all in.

Xiaolan was so sad, but she...

After a moment's silence, Conan hesitated and said, "Well, um... can I..."

Before he finished speaking, Conan gradually lowered his voice and looked at the ground in silence.

He originally wanted to ask Makino if he could use the antidote in order to see Xiaolan, but when he thought of the importance of the antidote and what Makino said at the time, "Try to use it at the critical moment," he gritted his teeth.

He also knew that this "reason for using the antidote" was simply ridiculous.

If you use the antidote so casually, then when the time comes to use the antidote...

After seeing Conan's expression, Makino chuckled and said, "Want to take the antidote? Theoretically, the antidote takes about 2-3 days to work. As long as you understand this, I won't stop you~"

After saying this, Makino suddenly pulled out a transparent glass bottle containing two unknown pills from his pocket with a kind smile.

Seeing this, Conan looked up at Makino in surprise.
