People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 848 The Dragon of Kansai
—If Shimano hadn't suddenly fallen ill at this time, the situation would never have turned out this way.

The former high-ranking members of the Shimano-gumi no longer cared about the Japanese Public Security officers who were keeping watch nearby. Instead, they quickly moved out of Kamurocho, preparing to escape before the Japanese Public Security completed their arrest.

Ito Yasuhito was well aware of his own limitations. Given the efficiency of the Tokyo branch of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, if he didn't leave Kamurocho soon, he would be arrested and interrogated by members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau by tonight at the latest.

Fortunately, he had contacted the Omi Federation in advance, and the Omi Federation had already sent people to meet him.

If we can get to that place, then everything will be...

Ito Taijin sat in a black luxury car, his face gloomy. He kept urging the driver in the front seat to speed up, but even so, he was still a step too late.

Police officers from the Kamurocho police station had already set up roadblocks on the roads.

If they were allowed to pass through the checkpoint openly like this, the end result would inevitably be that the police officers at the local station would recognize their identities, and then notify members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau to arrest them on the spot.

He must find another way.

After a moment's thought, Ito Yasuhito placed his hand on the rear door of the black luxury car, applied a little force, and gently pushed the door open. Then, he said...
"Drive faster that way, don't stop at the checkpoint for inspection, I'll get out first."

The driver in the front seat glanced at the back, then expertly took out a bottle of wine from the small storage compartment in the middle. As soon as Ito Yasuhito got out of the car, he immediately downed the entire bottle in one gulp.

Instantly, a strong smell of alcohol emanated from him. Without hesitation, he stepped on the gas, honked the horn repeatedly, and sped towards the checkpoint, using the pedestrian crossing as a cover.

Many Kamurocho residents on the road were startled by this crazy act and quickly made way when they heard the horn.

The police officers at the local station immediately noticed the black luxury car that seemed to be trying to break through the checkpoint. They quickly called for help from other patrol officers and also planned to intercept the black luxury car themselves.

However, the local police officers at these police stations had limited capabilities and were unable to effectively manage the situation, which only exacerbated the chaos at the scene.

Seeing the increasingly chaotic scene at the checkpoint, Ito Yasuhito quietly took out a pair of sunglasses from his wallet, put them on his face to slightly change his appearance, and then blended into the crowd, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to leave.

Behind him, the Japanese Public Security officers who had been observing Ito Yasuhito's position also quickened their pace and caught up with him.

Tick, tick, tick.

Even though Ito Yasuhito was a spy sent by the Omi Federation to the Tojo Clan and one of the Tojo Clan's high-ranking members, his skills in stealth were not as good as those of the members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He was completely unaware that his disguise had been exposed, nor did he realize that someone was following him; he simply kept his head down and approached the meeting point he had agreed upon with the Omi Federation.

The members of the Omi Federation should have gone directly into Kamurocho to pick him up.

However, the atmosphere in Kamurocho is not right now. The Japanese Public Security Bureau is keeping a close watch on things. If members of the Omi Federation were to rashly enter Kamurocho and try to contact the higher-ups of the Shimano Group, there is a high chance that they would be discovered by the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Therefore, the Omi Federation set up the meeting place outside Kamurocho.

However, Kamurocho itself is not very big, and the rendezvous point is quite close to Kamurocho. As long as you can leave the area of ​​Kamurocho, even if you walk, it will only take less than ten minutes to reach the rendezvous point.

"...Who will the Omi Federation send to meet me this time?"

Ito Yasuhito pondered in his heart.

The current situation is quite troublesome. If the people sent by the Omi Federation are not strong enough or experienced enough, the final result will probably not be good.

However, the Omi Federation itself has very few high-level personnel, and even fewer who are capable of undertaking such a task...

He could only hope everything went smoothly, and that the Omi Federation wouldn't send some incompetent fool to pick up his undercover agent. Behind him, Kazami Yuya had already met up with the Japanese Public Security officers tracking Ito Yasuhito. His gaze fell on Ito Yasuhito's retreating figure, pondering whether to close the net now or follow him a little longer to see if he could lure out any members of the Omi Federation.

—After a moment's thought, he decided to take the gamble.

High risk, high reward. If the Japanese Public Security Bureau decides to make Ito Yasuhito the mastermind behind the failed assassination attempt on Kusakabe Makoto, then they must prove that Ito Yasuhito is connected with the Omi Alliance.

Although we already have the transaction information provided by Shimano Tai, it is from more than ten years ago.

If the Japanese Public Security Bureau wants to prove that Yasuhito Ito has a direct connection with the Omi Association, and at the same time shut everyone up, the best way is to directly arrest a member who can prove that Yasuhito Ito is an undercover agent for the Omi Association.

The direction Ito Yasuhito is currently fleeing to may lie with members of the Omi Federation who are coming to meet him.

If this long-term plan to catch a big fish succeeds, then tomorrow, the final day of the trial, will proceed and conclude smoothly.

As for failure—it doesn't matter if we fail; it just means we'll lose one more direct witness.

Ito Yasuhito is now within their sights, and there's no way he could escape from Tokyo. There's absolutely no chance of anything else going wrong.

Tick, tick, tick.

Footsteps sounded in Ito Yasuhito's ears.

He subconsciously stopped and looked warily in the distance. Then, his eyes widened suddenly because the person who appeared this time was completely unexpected.

These are members of the Omi Federation who came to meet him; they're quite reliable.

However, Ito Yasuhito never expected that it would be this person who would personally come to take him back—

"come on."

At the alley entrance, the blond man's gaze fell on Ito Yasuhito, and then he spoke.

Several members of the Omi Federation stood beside him, making the blond man appear even more terrifying and dangerous. If anyone knew the man's name, it would inspire even more fear.

Ryuji Goda, that's his name.

Ryuji Goda is more widely known by his title.

The Dragon of Kansai.

"Chairman Gota, you actually came in person this time?!"

Ito Yasuhito exclaimed in surprise.

Unlike the Tojo-kai, the Omi Federation has a much larger sphere of influence, and Ryuji Goda is the chairman of the Goryū-kai, a direct affiliate of the Omi Federation.

With the reputation of being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Omi Alliance, he is definitely a top figure in the Kansai region's underworld.

How could Ryuji Goda not be surprised that such a task would require him to personally take on the task?
