Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 78 It’s a big deal

"Something happened again?"

Lin Xiuyi opened the door and asked helplessly.

Isn't the God of Death not born yet?
How come Mihua has already started to fall into trouble?

"Someone died at the Yolo nightclub," Inspector Megure said quickly. "Based on the current evidence, the murderer is a major leader of the Sumiyoshi-kai."

The Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai and Inagawa-kai are the three most powerful gangs in Japan. The Sumiyoshi-kai, to which the murderer belongs, has its headquarters in Tokyo.

"Don't you all have evidence? Then arrest them," Lin Xiuyi asked doubtfully, "Why are you looking for me? If you can't handle the gang, then I have no chance."

"Because the matter is a bit too strange. We checked the deceased's clothes and found that there was a button missing from his coat," Inspector Megure said anxiously, "and the only witness to the case was Mr. Sada. He said he saw the murderer kill with his own eyes."

"But the murderer refused to admit it and even called a number of Sumiyoshi-kai members to surround the Yolo nightclub."

"If they continue to make trouble, there will definitely be trouble at Yolo Nightclub tonight."

Missing a button?
Lin Xiuyi frowned for a moment.

This means that the deceased may be the murderer of Miss Nishikawa, but Mr. Sada happens to be the only eyewitness. If this is true, it is indeed a coincidence.

"Officer Matsumoto had no choice but to ask me to come to you."

Inspector Megure said this and gave a standard 90-degree bow.

"Lin Jun, I'm counting on you!"

Since the other party had made such a humble request, Lin Xiuyi had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes..."

Before Lin Xiuyi could finish his words, seeing that he agreed, Inspector Megure hurriedly grabbed his arm and walked downstairs.

"Sorry, Lin Jun, this is an emergency, and wearing pajamas won't hurt."

……

Yolo Nightclub is located on Mihua Commercial Street. Lin Xiuyi arrived at the destination in less than five minutes after getting in the police car.

"What a grand scene..."

Lin Xiuyi looked outside through the car window and saw hundreds of sturdy men in suits with tattoos standing at the entrance of the nightclub. They didn't say a word and just stood quietly blocking the entrance of the nightclub.

"The gangs are so arrogant, and the Metropolitan Police Department has no idea at all?"

"Gangster cases are all handled by Section 4. I'm not very clear about it," Inspector Megure shook his head. "Even if the higher-ups want to deal with the gangs, it will be later."

"We have to deal with tonight's situation first. Officer Matsumoto and several other officers from Section 1 are still trapped in the nightclub."

"Where's Investigation Section 4?" Hayashi Shuichi asked doubtfully. "Didn't Officer Matsumoto say earlier that he wanted Officer Odagiri to ask Investigation Section 4 for help? Why haven't they shown up?"

"He should be on his way," Officer Megure replied, "I called Inspector Samezaki just fifteen minutes ago, and then I came to look for you."

"Then let's wait a little longer," Lin Xiuyi put down the chair and prepared to take a nap, "Wake me up when the people from Class 4 arrive."

"Hayashi-kun! Officer Matsumoto and the others are still inside," Officer Megure said anxiously, "What if something happens..."

"Don't worry, unless these gangs are crazy, they will openly attack and kill the police." Lin Xiuyi yawned, "Look at those people at the door, are they carrying weapons?"

"It seems like there isn't any, but..." Inspector Megure was still worried.

"If they really want to attack, even if the two of us go in, it will only result in two more deaths," Lin Xiuyi said soothingly. "Let's wait a little longer. Judging from the looks of these gangsters, they probably just want to protest. No one will die."

Time passed by, and Lin Xiuyi was already snoring, but Inspector Megure was still worried. Half an hour later, the shrill sound of sirens came one after another, and Lin Xiuyi was also awakened.

He rolled down the window and looked in the direction of the sound.

Dozens of police cars were speeding towards this side, followed by three buses. Judging from the paint jobs on the buses, the mobile squad should have been dispatched as well.

The large amount of support from the police caused a commotion among the gang members at the entrance of the nightclub, and several small leaders had to shout loudly to maintain order.

Lin Xiuyi stretched, opened the car door and got out, and Officer Megure hurriedly followed.

In addition to Officer Odagiri, Inspector Samezaki, Officer Sato and other members of the First Investigation Division whom Hayashi Shuichi already knew, the police officers who came to support included many unfamiliar police officers with fierce faces and strong bodies.

These guys look like they're even more difficult to deal with than the gangsters blocking the entrance of the nightclub.

The heads of the Metropolitan Police Department were arranging the operation there, so Lin Xiuyi did not go over to join in.

Seeing this, Officer Sato came over and greeted Lin Xiuyi.

"Lin Jun, I'm so sorry to bother you so late. Thank you for taking care of Meihezi in the park earlier."

"Officer Sato, you're too polite. Miwako is very likable..."

The two sides exchanged a few polite words, and the leaders over there quickly made arrangements.

Three buses opened their doors, and members of the mobile team holding shields and batons came out one after another, forming a neat formation, approaching the door of the nightclub, and finally stopped more than ten meters away from the gang members.

A young police officer with a crew cut and a long chin took the initiative to walk towards the gang.

"That's Katsutoshi Teraoka from Section 4," Officer Sato introduced him to Hayashi and the others. "Although he's young and has only been with the Metropolitan Police Department for less than six months, he's already made significant contributions in combating the yakuza. Megure, you're also a newcomer, so don't lose to him!"

"Hi!" Inspector Megure agreed hastily without much confidence.

The police officer named Katsutoshi Teraoka negotiated with the gang leader for a while and then walked back with an expressionless face.

"What's the situation?" Manager Odagiri asked hurriedly.

"They insist that their boss, Ito, was framed by a rival gang," Officer Teraoka said. "They won't leave unless their boss is cleared of all charges, even if the police intervene."

"Can't we take action now?" Manager Odagiri looked at his colleague beside him with a grim face.

"It's best not to resort to serious action unless absolutely necessary," the management officer of Investigation Section 4 shook his head. "Ito Ichiro is the head of the Sumiyoshi Clan in Beihua."

"Among these gang scum, he is already considered a very obedient one. These are all Ito's confidants."

"Once we take these people down, there will be a vacuum in the Mihua mafia's power. Seeing this, other gangs will definitely infiltrate. By then, the situation will be even more chaotic and difficult to handle."

"Damn it!" Manager Odagiri pounded the police car in anger.

Investigation Section 4 does not recommend taking action, but if they really let the person go, then Investigation Section 1 will be completely disgraced!
Manager Odagiri can already imagine how the newspapers and media will mock him tomorrow!

"The incompetent search class, the weak retreat in the face of the gang, and the indulgence of the real murderer."

"Is this the good-for-nothing we feed with our tax dollars?"

"If they can't even handle the gangs, how can we really expect the Search and Investigation Division to maintain public safety?"
