Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 233: Using a trumpet when out and about

After everyone knew the experience and criminal past of the prisoner "Hades Sabara", they all looked at Makino at the same time.

This prisoner is even more terrifying than they imagined.

The code has been completely cracked, and the criminal's "ultimate goal" can be basically determined.

——The criminal is planning to carry out a terrorist attack using a bomb at the tennis finals to be held tomorrow afternoon.

Maori Kogoro wiped the cold sweat from his head with the paper on the table and spoke first: "Makino, since this criminal has a bomb, shouldn't we inform the local police about this as soon as possible?"

Without waiting for Makino to speak, Kudo Shinichi shook his head and said, "I don't think this will work. Officer Makino said yesterday that this criminal is a very extreme serial killer!

He had a strong desire for self-expression. Before the first bombing of the hospital, he had also issued a similar "code crime notice". And after the hospital bombing, he specially sent the videotape of the explosion process and the code interpretation letter to the police.

As for the second time when he left a warning and prepared to blow up the hospital, someone also deciphered the code he left. But shortly after the bomb disposal team broke in, he detonated the bomb! "

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's eyes widened even more: "What?! If that means he will do it regardless of whether anyone has figured out the code or not?!"

Makino nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, it was Mr. Yusaku who helped the police crack the code last time. In fact, this criminal named Hades doesn't want anyone to stop his actions. He issued the crime notice just to provoke the police and the public, in order to prove the value of his existence."

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi looked at Makino in front of him with a complicated expression.

He was more concerned about something else than the character of the criminal as described by Makino.

The last time the criminal gave out a secret code, it was actually my dad who cracked it...

For a moment, the smiling figures of Kudo Yusaku and Makino Ryuichi almost filled Kudo Shinichi's mind.

After a moment of silence, Kudo Shinichi quickly shook his head, completely getting rid of the "shadows" of Makino and the other man from his mind, and then continued his analysis:

"From what we know, if we want to stop this man from committing crimes, we must completely crack the code, then quietly go to the destination where he plans to commit the crime without his knowledge, secretly approach him and arrest him.

Now that the code has been cracked, all that remains is to find and approach the criminal..."

At this moment, an extremely excited child's voice suddenly rang out.

——"Ah! It's Holmes's disciple!"

After hearing this familiar voice and "name", Kudo Shinichi's pupils shrank immediately.

Under the curious gaze of the crowd, a little blond boy pulled a young woman with a golden ponytail and wearing sunglasses and walked quickly to Kudo Shinichi.

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the little boy excitedly looked up at the young woman next to him and introduced her, "Sister, he is the brother Hattori Heiji whom I mentioned to you yesterday! He said he is a disciple of Sherlock Holmes. He is really amazing!"

Makino and others: “?”

Kudo Shinichi: "!!!"

Hearing that the little boy in front of them actually called Kudo Shinichi "Sherlock Holmes's disciple" and "Hattori Heiji", Makino and the others immediately turned to look at Kudo Shinichi with strange expressions.

After realizing what was happening, Kudo Shinichi's face flushed instantly and he lowered his head, avoiding everyone's sight.

Xiaolan asked in confusion: "Holmes' disciple? Hattori Heiji? Shinichi, what is going on?"

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

Sonoko and Maori Kogoro also stared at Kudo Shinichi's blushing face curiously, as if they wanted to hear his answer.

Seeing this, a smile flashed in Makino's eyes.

He could roughly guess why Kudo Shinichi called the child in front of him "Hattori Heiji".

At this moment, the girl next to the little boy smiled and said, "My brother was taken care of by you yesterday. So you are the 'disciple of Sherlock Holmes' he mentioned~"

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Calling himself "Holmes' disciple" was embarrassing enough, not to mention that the little boy called him Hattori Heiji in front of Makino Xiaolan and the others...

At this moment, Sonoko suddenly realized something and looked at the little boy and the blonde woman in front of her in surprise: "Wait, you were speaking Japanese just now? Hahaha, how come I suddenly understand what foreigners are saying~"

Makino chuckled and said, "Ms. Minaba, you're going to compete in the finals tomorrow, right? Don't you need to rest or train today?"

Seeing that Makino had figured out her identity, the blonde chuckled and said, "Well, I wanted to go out and relax with my brother during training."

At this point, Minerba Glass glanced at the crowd who seemed to be unaware of her identity, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Minerba Glass, and this is my brother Apollo Glass."

After listening to the woman's introduction, everyone immediately thought of something and looked at the blonde woman in front of them in surprise.

Sonoko blurted out: "Mineva Glass? Queen of the Grass?!"

Before Sonoko could finish, Minerva Glass immediately made a 'hush' gesture with her hand and said nervously, "Hush! It will be troublesome if I am discovered!"

Hearing this, Yuanzi looked around in panic and immediately covered her mouth.

Only then did she realize that they were standing next to the Wimbledon tennis stadium, and there were so many people who could recognize Minerva Glass.

If Minerva Glass were recognized by others, there would probably be a riot.

After confirming that no one nearby noticed this place, Minerva Glass breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I can speak Japanese because I lived in Tokyo for a period of time before. My mother has poor eyesight and had surgery in Tokyo."

At this point, Minerba Glass glanced at Makino in front of her and asked curiously, "Sir, may I ask if we have met somewhere before?"

Makino shook his head. "No, this should be the first time we meet. By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Makino Ryuichi, and the one next to me is my fiancée Suzuki Ayako."

After Makino finished speaking, Xiaolan and the others introduced their identities one by one.

Only Kudo Shinichi kept looking at the ground like an ostrich.

After listening to the introductions of Makino and the others, Minerva Glass looked at Kudo Shinichi in front of her with a serious expression: "By the way, Mr. Hattori, the thing my brother gave you yesterday should be related to the incident announced by the police this morning, right?"

Just as Kudo Shinichi was about to nod, Xiaolan beside him said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Minaba, his name is not actually Hattori Heiji..."

Minerva Glass blinked and looked at Kudo Shinichi in confusion.

Under the gaze of Minaba and Xiaolan, Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and said, "Ha, haha... Hattori Heiji is a nickname I often use. My real name is actually Kudo Shinichi." Xiaolan: "???"

Makino glanced helplessly at Kudo Shinichi and said, "Ms. Minaba, you are right. The person who chatted with your brother and gave him the crime notice was Hades Sabara, who was announced by the police this morning.

He seems to be planning to repeat his old tricks and carry out another terrorist attack with a bomb.”

Hearing this, Minerba Glass's expression suddenly changed significantly.

She looked down at her "safe and sound" brother and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect that the guy her brother met in the stadium yesterday was actually a serial killer!

Fortunately, the criminal only gave a crime notice to my brother...

However, when she thought about the guy named Hades who would use bombs to carry out terrorist attacks in the near future, her face was suddenly filled with worry.

Makino glanced at everyone and continued, "Although this is not good news, Hestia, who helped Hades make the bomb, has been confirmed dead. She blew herself up before being arrested by the police.

The police estimated that even if Hades still had bombs, there probably weren’t many left.”

"In that case, the amount of bombs he has is not enough to support him in blowing up a large venue?" Kudo Shinichi asked.

Makino nodded and said, "That's right, but it can still cause great harm. Even if it's a small bomb, if it explodes in a crowd..."

Makino didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood the power of the bomb explosion.

If the bomb exploded in a crowd, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Makino suddenly said, "Don't worry, this Hades will be arrested before he commits a crime tomorrow."

Hearing what Makino said, everyone present except the Minaba siblings immediately turned to look at Makino and were stunned for a moment.

After coming to their senses, the nervous expressions on everyone's faces disappeared instantly, replaced by relaxation and surprise.

Yuanzi even smiled brilliantly.

Kudo Shinichi stared at Makino, his mouth slightly open and his eyes dull.

Seeing the strange reactions of the people in front of her, Minaba blinked in confusion.

What happened?

Why did they react so strangely after hearing Makino’s “comfort”?
As if to answer Minaba's doubts, Xiaolan suddenly chuckled and said, "As expected of you, Brother Makino. It seems that we can enjoy the rest of our travel time~"

Sonoko also nodded and smiled, "Yeah~ By the way, Xiaolan, do you have any plans for tomorrow? How about we all come together to watch the tennis finals?"

Xiaolan lowered her head and thought: "Although we don't have any plans for tomorrow, we don't have tickets, and I don't know if we can still buy them now."

"We'll know after we go and have a look~"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Minaba finally said hesitantly: "That..."

Yuanzi turned her head and looked at Minaba, as if she had guessed her thoughts, and chuckled: "Ms. Minaba, don't worry anymore~ Brother Longyi is a very good policeman~ Since Brother Longyi has said so, then this case is over!"

"Police?" Minaba looked at Makino and frowned.

After a moment, Minaba suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Makino in surprise: "I remember, I saw you in the hospital! When my mother was hospitalized, a murder happened in that hospital. I remember that you caught the criminal not long after you arrived at the scene!"

Hearing this, Makino blinked and recalled carefully.

He didn't remember having seen this Minaba, and...the case that happened in the hospital?

After so many years in Mihua, he has solved at least a dozen cases in the hospital...

At this moment, Minaba finally understood everyone's previous reactions.

It seems that Officer Makino must be a very powerful police officer!
Makino was not going to continue the conversation, but looked directly at Minerva and got to the point: "Ms. Minerva, can you let me see a picture of your mother?"

"My mother's photo? Of course~"

Although she didn't know why the police officer named Makino suddenly made such a request, Minaba still took out her phone and showed Makino a photo of her family:

"This is my mother, Gino Glass. The man next to her is Ares Ashurai, my...coach."

After memorizing the appearance of the people in the photo, Makino asked Minaba to put away her phone.

Not long after, after briefly chatting with everyone, Minaba looked down at the time on her phone and said, "Sorry everyone, I have to go back to continue training~"

Upon hearing this, Makino and his team said goodbye to Minaba and expressed their anticipation for the "Queen of the Grassland"'s wonderful performance tomorrow.

……

After Minaba left, Kudo Shinichi slowly turned his head to look at Makino, his voice seemed a little weak: "Officer Makino, she has left, can you talk now?"

Kogoro Mori and others also immediately looked at Makino, as if they were waiting for Makino to speak and "solve the mystery".

Makino nodded and said, "The mother of the prisoner Hades Sabara died last July. A month before that, Hades had bet on a match."

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi also frowned and said, "Yes, I remember that in last year's French tennis tournament, Miss Minaba unfortunately lost and missed the championship. I remember that the tournament seemed to be held in June last year."

Sonoko also added, "I remember that it seemed to be the only competition that Miss Minaba didn't win, except for the competition she missed due to injury."

Makino nodded and said, "That's right. If Hades had used a large sum of money to bet on Miss Minaba to win the championship in order to raise enough money for his mother's surgery..."

Hearing this, everyone immediately understood what Makino wanted to express.

Maori Kogoro also said with a serious face: "In the end, he lost all his money and his mother couldn't have the surgery! This is his motive for revenge this time!"

Makino nodded and said, "That's right. Hades has a clear motive every time he makes a move. And this time the bomb in his hand is not enough to blow up the entire tennis stadium. In order to ensure the smooth progress of revenge, he must 'narrow the target range' as much as possible.

Considering this perspective, Miss Minerba and her family, especially her mother, are likely to be the main targets of Hades' attack this time."
