Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 202 Emergency Treatment

Tachibana Seiji was chasing him closely, and the murderer fleeing in front was naturally not deaf.

The roar of the Range Rover engine cut through the rain and reached the murderer's ears. The murderer in the gray windbreaker turned his head and looked back while fleeing. When he found that the distance between him and the black Range Rover was rapidly approaching, he immediately threw down his umbrella.

Facts have proven that a person cannot outrun a car on four wheels on two legs. Even if the murderer threw away his umbrella, it would be useless even if he took off his clothes.

Realizing this, the murderer stopped running along the road and instead headed straight into an alley.

Tachibana Shizuka slammed on the brakes and stopped the car at the entrance of the alley, staring at the commercial street that the alley led to.

Although the weather today is not very good, it is a rare day off for workers. Some people choose to sleep soundly at home listening to the rain, while others choose to go out in the rain.

Although the number of people on the commercial street was not as high as on weekends, it was still bustling with people. These people were holding umbrellas of various colors, which covered most of the narrow commercial street.

There is no more chasing.

Tachibana Shizuka quickly made his judgment. The constant flow of people provided the killer with the perfect shield, along with the shops on both sides and the extensive shopping malls.

It can be said that once the murderer hides in there, no one will be able to find him for a while.

As we all know, in the Conan world, whether it is a commercial street or a main road, there are very few surveillance devices.

Tachibana Seiji immediately decided not to chase the murderer who had run away - the monk could run away, but the temple could not, and he naturally knew the identity of the murderer.

The Assassin in the Pupil. This is one of Conan's earlier classic theatrical versions. Especially at the beginning, the murderer's repeated attacks on the police also caused many casualties in the Metropolitan Police Department, which has always been safe.

As soon as he thought of this, Tachibana Shizuka turned the steering wheel sharply, and the black Range Rover, which was originally driving in the opposite direction, turned around smoothly and quickly returned to the telephone booth.

"Lan, come down and help!" Tachibana Shizuka called out to Xiaolan in the back seat, then parked the car on the side of the road.

Xiaolan hurriedly got out of the back seat and came to the side of the fallen man.

The incident happened suddenly. Although there were few people on the road due to the heavy rain, there were still people going out on rainy days.

These people had already surrounded the fallen man, but that was all. Everyone stared at the man on the ground with different expressions, but no one tried to help him.

Until the arrival of Tachibana Shizuka and Ran.

Because it is Beika Town, Lin Longma always has a first aid kit in his car. This first aid kit is not prepared for others, but for Lin Longma himself.

If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Although Tachibana Shizuka treats people sincerely and never speaks harshly, there is no guarantee that these Japanese people will not draw their guns because of a word.

It's normal to always have a first aid kit in the car, but I didn't expect to use it on this man.

Pulling back the man's clothing, Tachibana Shizuka noticed three gunshot wounds. The location didn't matter; with such close-range, hasty shooting, an inexperienced shooter could simply aim for the torso.

There is no medical skill in Tachibana Shizuka's skill pack, so he cannot perform thoracotomy or abdominal surgery in the heavy rain.

However, it is still possible to provide some emergency treatment to men based on some self-taught knowledge, such as reducing the amount of bleeding, or maintaining the man's life through first aid techniques.

Fortunately, some of the onlookers had already called the police and the emergency number, so Tachibana Shizuka only needed to wait for the police and doctors to take over.

Because the area is located in the downtown area, there was not much traffic on the road, so both the police and the ambulance arrived very promptly. The police came directly from the Metropolitan Police Department, which allowed them to recognize the man with gunshot wounds on the ground at a glance.

"Officer Nara!" The responding detective was shocked upon seeing this, and then hurried to maintain order at the scene and clear a clear path for the ambulance.

After two ambulance workers lifted Officer Nara onto a stretcher, the detective who arrived later recognized Shizuji Tachibana.

"Tachibana-san and Mori-san?"

"Yes, it's us." Tachibana Seiji took the umbrella from Sonoko's hand, nodded in thanks, and replied to the detective.

They are old acquaintances of the Metropolitan Police Department, especially the First Investigation Division. Basically all the detectives in the First Investigation Division know Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan.

No matter who it is, they often go to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the cases they encounter are either murders, arson, or poisonings. Anyone would be familiar to the detectives in the First Investigation Division.

While Tachibana Shizuka and Ran were busy giving first aid to Officer Nara, Sonoko stood by and held an umbrella for them.

Conan, unable to help, just stood in the car and stared at the scene, wondering what he was thinking.

"Mr. Tachibana, regarding the criminals who attacked Officer Nara," the detective had just started talking when Tachibana Shizuka took over.

“I’m sorry, I just tried to chase the gangster, but he ran through the alley into the commercial street. There were too many people inside, so I couldn’t chase him and couldn’t get in.

If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed here to rescue Officer Nara. Maybe I could have increased the chances of his survival."

Tachibana Shizuka was indeed sincere when he said this. He was suddenly filled with passion and subconsciously drove after him.

In fact, if the murderer had run a few more steps forward, Tachibana Shizuka would have just hit him with his car. By then, whether the murderer was dead or alive or paralyzed, it would not be the fault of Tachibana Shizuka for being cruel.

To put it bluntly, if he wasn't afraid of Tachibana Shizuka, would he have hit him with his car?

It's better to stay where you are and get shot than to be paralyzed.

But when Tachibana Shizuka calmed down, he realized that chasing the murderer was the least cost-effective option for him.

Officer Nara lost consciousness after being shot, but he didn't die immediately. His chances of survival were slim, but what if he could be saved?
No matter what, we saved the life of a responsible criminal police officer, didn't we?

This is also due to Shizuka Tachibana's own preconceived notion - in the original work, Officer Nara was indeed dead, so after seeing the scene that just happened, Shizuka Tachibana subconsciously regarded Officer Nara as having died in the line of duty.

That's why he rushed back to rescue Officer Nara after calming down.

However, this kind of self-blame was extremely obvious in the eyes of the patrol police.

This detective and Tachibana Shizuka were the kind of people who were familiar to each other but had never said hello. He knew this person but had never spoken to him.

He knew that many detectives in the 3rd department had a good relationship with Tachibana Shizuka, but he didn't know why his colleagues had such a good relationship with a high school student.

It is obvious that Tachibana Shizuka is not the kind of younger brother like Kudo Shinichi.
