Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 564 Why is everyone so enthusiastic tonight?
"Hmph, as if you've never lost anything!"

Yukiko, unconvinced by the rebuttal, immediately glared back and retorted.

"Losing my necklace is my own business, I didn't ask you to help me find it!"

“But you’ve caused Shuichi a lot of trouble!” Eri Kisaki retorted without backing down. “If it weren’t for you, would Shuichi have been stunned by the thief with a stun gun? Would he have encountered such a dangerous situation? And…”

At this point, she glared angrily at Tomizawa Chikage, clearly still remembering that kiss from earlier.

Yukiko was immediately speechless, feeling guilty. She could only pout in frustration, her eyes full of grievance.

The atmosphere remained silent for a while before Midori Orikasa couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we go down too? Since Yukiko-senpai is a victim, she'll definitely have to give a statement to the police."

"Yes! I need to go to the police to prove I'm a victim!"

Once she realized what was happening, Yukiko seemed to have found a way out and quickly ran downstairs.

"I'm also involved, I have to give a statement too!" Tomizawa Chikage said with a forced smile, and hurriedly followed.

"I'm going to find Onii-chan," Reiko said, and ran after him.

Midori Orikasa tugged at Eri Kisaki's arm and whispered, "Senpai, let's go. We can talk about it when we get back to the izakaya."

"you're right."

Eri Kisaki took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.

"I'll settle the score with him when we get back to the izakaya!"

……

At the entrance of the department store, police lights were flashing, and several police cars were parked on the roadside.

Inspector Megure was directing officers to set up a cordon around the mall when he saw Hideichi Hayashi and Kogoro Mouri dragging a man who was tightly bound as they approached. He immediately rushed to meet them.

"Lin-kun, Mori-kun, what's the situation inside? Is anyone injured?"

"We have subdued all four thieves inside. Except for me, who was stunned by the electric shock for a while, the others are fine."

Lin Xiu pointed to the leader of the thieves on the ground.

"This is their leader. He's the one who just used the security guard's stun gun to knock me unconscious."

Inspector Megure crouched down and looked at the bound leader of the thieves.

"In the past week, there have been several nighttime shoplifting incidents in Tokyo, and they are most likely the perpetrators! We really owe you a lot this time, Lin-kun!"

"I just happened to run into it."

Lin Xiuyi shook his head helplessly.
"If these stupid thieves hadn't been greedy and tried to steal Yukiko's necklace, I wouldn't have caught them."

"Yukiko?" Inspector Megure was taken aback. "Wasn't she away filming a movie? What does she have to do with this?"

"Here's what happened..." Lin Xiuyi briefly recounted the events.

After learning the whole story, Inspector Megure nodded: "These guys were originally just thieves, which should have been handled by Section 2. But since they tried to kidnap Ms. Kiko and even used a stun gun to hurt you, it's considered a violent crime, which is why it falls under the jurisdiction of Section 1."

"I will interrogate them thoroughly and try to solve the previous theft case as well."

“Alright, Inspector Megure,” Lin Xiuyi urged, “take me back to the Metropolitan Police Department quickly.”

"You?" Inspector Megure paused, "There's no need to rush, Lin-kun. It's almost ten o'clock now, it's so late, everyone must be tired. Tonight I'll take these thieves back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning, and you can give your statements tomorrow morning."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiuyi interrupted him: "No need! Take me back tonight to make a statement! The sooner we resolve this case, the sooner you can deal with other things and won't have to worry about this anymore." After saying that, before Inspector Megure could react, Lin Xiuyi pulled open the door of a police car next to him and got in.

"What's wrong with Lin-kun tonight?" Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri with surprise. "He's never this eager to take a statement from him before."

"Ha ha……"

Knowing the truth, Kogoro Mouri couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

He patted Inspector Megure on the shoulder and said vaguely, "It's nothing urgent. He just... just wants to get things done as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen problems. Don't worry about him, let him get in the car."

Inspector Megure still looked puzzled, but he was too lazy to pursue the matter further. After all, Lin Xiuyi had helped solve the case, so he could grant this small request.

He left a team of officers in the mall to collect evidence and inventory the stolen items, and then prepared to escort the four thieves and Lin Xiuyi back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just as the police car was about to start, a series of footsteps came from inside the mall.

Immediately afterwards, Yukiko and Chikage Tomizawa ran out of the mall one after the other.

"Wait a minute! Inspector Megure, I'm the victim in this case. I need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department with you to give a statement!"

Yukiko ran and shouted, afraid that the police car would drive away.

"Me too! I subdued two of those thieves, so I'm a hero too. I need to give my statement!" Chikage Tomizawa shouted, quickly catching up with Yukiko.

Another police car carrying the four thieves had already sped away, leaving two empty seats in the back of the police car that Inspector Megure was in.

Before he could even ask a question, Yukiko and Chikage Tomizawa had already eagerly opened the back door and climbed in, their movements so swift it was as if they were afraid of being kicked out.

"Hurry up and drive, Inspector Megure! The sooner we finish taking statements, the sooner we can go home and rest!"

Yukiko sat in the back seat, repeatedly urging Inspector Megure in the driver's seat to hurry up.

"Okay, okay."

Inspector Megure responded with a puzzled look and glanced at the two girls in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

What happened tonight?
Why is everyone rushing to give statements at the Metropolitan Police Department?
Filled with doubt, he started the police car and drove towards the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Phew, finally I don't have to be laughed at by the girl with glasses anymore,"

Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief, then glared angrily at Chikage Tomizawa.

"Tonight you not only took advantage of Shuichi, but you also betrayed me. You really are..."

"Hey, what do you mean I took advantage of Lin Xiuyi!" Tomizawa Chikage's eyebrows shot up in anger. "He was the one who kissed me first. I'm the one who was taken advantage of, okay..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the police car screeching to a halt.

The two girls in the back row were caught off guard and their heads collided.

"Ouch!" Yukiko complained. "Inspector Megure, please drive carefully."

Can you blame me?
Inspector Megure gave a wry smile; anyone would be surprised to hear such explosive news.

The police car continued driving, and Tomizawa Chikage clenched her fists in anger.
"That bastard Lin Xiuyi, don't let me see him again. If I ever see him again, I'll..."

"Does it have to be what?" Yukiko said sourly, "Does it have to be that he kisses you again?"
