People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 904 One Dragon Is Enough

"Police helicopter? What's going on? Has something serious happened?"

Kogoro Mouri, who had just come out of the crime scene, lit a cigarette.

This time, he surprisingly didn't become a sleeping detective, because the reasoning was too simple. He only needed to glance at the evidence at the scene to know most of it.

Then Conan rambled on for a bit, and Conan had a flash of inspiration, grasped the key, and found the truth of the matter.

However, just after resolving the incident, he went out for a smoke and prepared to drive back when he looked up and saw a police helicopter flying in another direction on the horizon, which surprised him.

"Hey, what's going on in the sky?"

Kogoro Mouri, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, pointed to the police helicopter in the sky.

The inspector in charge, who had just instructed other forensic officers to take statements at the scene, came out, looked up at the police helicopter in the distance, and had a look of doubt in his eyes.

He doesn't know.

Generally speaking, if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department intends to use police helicopters, it will definitely apply for permission well in advance. Given the capabilities of the officers within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, such news spreads like wildfire as soon as it is released.

As a police inspector in the Criminal Investigation Department, it's impossible that he didn't know anything about this.

"...This might be a temporary transfer, right?"

The inspector in charge of the criminal case said with some puzzlement.

He took Kogoro Mouri's lighter, lit a cigarette, and was about to put it in his pocket when Kogoro slapped him on the shoulder. He then gave the lighter back with an embarrassed smile.

It's mainly because I'm used to taking lighters from the police station, so I just instinctively take one.

He still respected Kogoro Mouri, a legendary former colleague who had served in the Criminal Investigation Department, otherwise he wouldn't have told Kogoro Mouri all these things directly.

However, the police inspector and Kogoro Mouri were unaware of this.

Their entire conversation was overheard by a guy who looked like a primary school student but was actually exceptionally intelligent.

Conan had already left the crime scene at some point and was standing to the side, gazing at the police helicopter in the distance. However, because of his height, even though he was standing there eavesdropping without any attempt to hide it, the other two didn't notice him at all.

This might be a buff that Conan received after ingesting APTX-4869...

"A police helicopter? At this time of year..."

The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student raised his wristwatch and glanced at the time.

He then frowned slightly, immediately realizing that the deployment of the police helicopter might be related to a series of public safety incidents that should normally be being tried in court.

After investigating the key information for Xiang Yuanguang, he stopped paying attention to the situation.

After all, he had already investigated the truth behind all the cases, including the attempted assassination of Makoto Kusakabe, the assassination of Katsumi Sera, and even the kidnapping of Ai Haibara, so there was no need for him to pay any more attention to them.

Anyway, since Xiang Yuanguang is in the courtroom, he will naturally handle everything else.

However, it was only at this moment that Conan suddenly realized a suspicious point he had overlooked, and he unconsciously rubbed his chin, muttering in confusion,

"Could it be that there is a fourth hidden case that I haven't discovered yet, besides this series of events?"

"What kind of nesting dolls are these...?"

The vehicles sped along the street.

Sitting in the vehicle, Ryuji Akigo, his face somewhat gloomy, looked up and also focused his gaze on the police helicopter moving towards the Millennium Tower, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

The Dongcheng Gang incident has escalated to such a large extent that even police helicopters have been deployed?

Although he was one of the high-ranking members of the Omi Federation and didn't know much about the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's SWAT team, he was very familiar with the Tojo Clan's strength.

How could those amazing people from the East City Gang manage to get a police helicopter deployed?
Or is there some other factor that he is unaware of?
Ryuji Akigo was unable to understand for a moment.

He suddenly remembered the recent request from Jingu Kyohei, the big shot who had secretly supported the Omi Federation and was one of the reasons for the Omi Federation's expansion into Tokyo.

That big shot in Tokyo had asked them to prepare some special identities and hideouts for use.

He initially thought this was just a refuge prepared by Jingu Kyohei for his subordinates, but considering the current situation in Tokyo, he couldn't help but wonder if Jingu Kyohei was looking for a way out for himself.

—If that's really the case, then that would be terrible.

Jingu Kyohei used the Omi Federation to find a way out for himself, and then withdrew gracefully. The Omi Federation, which could have moved into the Tokyo area with Jingu Kyohei's help, was now exposed to everyone's attention.

And then he suffered a major setback because of it.

As the Dragon of Kansai, Ryuji Akisato would never allow this to happen.

He frowned slightly and asked the driver in front,
"Which direction was that police helicopter heading?"

Although the driver ahead was also a member of the Omi Association, he had lived in Tokyo for many years and knew the area like the back of his hand. He immediately provided an answer after Akisato Ryuji asked him a question.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the only landmark in this direction is the Millennium Tower in Kamurocho."

"Maybe they're heading towards the Millennium Tower? Well... I can't be sure. After all, the last time police helicopters were deployed was to catch Kaito Kid live. Who knows what they're up to this time?"

Ryuji Akigo quickly made a decision.

Kamurocho, Millennium Tower, Tojo Clan.

Regardless of which one it is, it's something the Omi Federation will have to deal with after extending its influence to the Tokyo area. Since that's the case, there's no better time than today, so he'll go and see for himself.

Besides, he had long wanted to meet Kiryu Kazuma, the Dragon of Dojima, who had been imprisoned ten years ago.

He always felt that one dragon was enough for the world.

It's either Kazuma Kiryu, known as the Dragon of Dojima, or him, known as the Dragon of Kansai!

"Drive towards the Millennium Tower!"

"I want to see what this so-called landmark building in Kamurocho really looks like!"

The Dragon of Kansai spoke with decisiveness.

The vehicle immediately changed direction and moved toward the Kamurocho Millennium Tower at the maximum speed allowed by the road. On the way, Ryuji Akigo also noticed another police car that was driving recklessly on the busy road.

The police car looked somewhat unusual, like a vehicle used to transport prisoners to a courtroom.

However, this is just right.

"Move over! Isn't the road wide enough? That police car can clear the way for us!"
