Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"Really? I used to see interviews with him in the newspaper all the time."

"..."

At this moment, Officer Takagi quickly spoke up, "That's not how it is! He just helped us solve a case involving wheelchairs not long ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Sato beside him whispered, "Takagi?"

"Oops! Sorry, I let it slip..."

Officer Takagi then realized that Kudo seemed to have said on the phone that they shouldn't mention him to anyone.

However, the next moment, Officer Takagi glanced around.

Aside from Detective Mori and Tatsuno, it was their fellow police officers.

Kudo, these... they shouldn't be considered outsiders, right?

At this moment, Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked in confusion, "Megure, what's going on?"

"This is to respect his wishes, which is why we concealed the fact that he was involved in the case," Inspector Megure said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes, and he turned his head without changing his expression and said, "I see."

"Huh? This guy is quite humble~" Officer Yamamura remarked, looking at Inspector Megure.

"I don't know why, but he's become unusually low-key lately. He used to love showing off," Inspector Megure remarked.

A strange light flashed in Matsumoto's eyes again, but he did not speak again.

Ryūno glanced at Manager Matsumoto out of the corner of his eye, then turned to look at Officer Takagi, Inspector Megure, and the others, and smiled slightly.

"Kudo, I can vouch for Inspector Megure and the others—they really did cover up your involvement in the case!"

Chapter 331 De Tomaso Sports Car

After Shinichi Kudo finished speaking, Inspector Megure coughed lightly and turned to look at Officer Yamato across from him.

"Mori, Tatsuno, I called you here today because Inspector Yamato has found a male suspect."

At this point, Inspector Megure nodded to Officer Yamato, signaling him to share the information he had.

Just as Officer Yamato was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

After apologizing to everyone, Officer Yamato answered the phone.

"It's me... um, and then... what?! I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Officer Yamato excitedly looked at everyone and shouted, "I have great news! The male suspect is very likely to show up in Beika!"

"What?!" Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise.

The next moment, Officer Yamato walked to the whiteboard in front of the conference room, leaning on his cane.

A photo was posted on the whiteboard.

“Minoru Fukase, 27 years old. Last year, one of the victims, Shuhei Jinno, was seriously stabbed by this man. He has been wanted by us since last year and is a fugitive!”

"I've already sent my men to monitor his girlfriend, 'Risa Yoshii,' and I just learned that she's come to Beika from Nagano..."

After hearing the information, Manager Matsumoto asked, "What was the motive of this man named Fukase for stabbing Jinno?"

"It's said that he harbored resentment because Jinno asked him to put out his cigarette while he was queuing at the tropical amusement park," Officer Yamato replied.

Ryūno nodded quietly. In the world of Detective Conan, this hurtful reason was barely acceptable.

After thinking for two seconds, Officer Matsumoto nodded and said, "Alright! Inspector Megure, you take your men and Officer Yamato and the others and head there. Let's bring this guy named Fukase back first!"

--"yes!"

……

On a moving police car

Officer Takagi and Officer Sato sat in the driver's and passenger's seats, respectively.

Longye sat in the back row.

Halfway through the drive, Officer Takagi glanced at Ryuno in the rearview mirror, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed in surprise, "By the way, Ryuno, aren't you a high school student? Don't you have classes today?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Sato, who was standing nearby, also realized what was happening and turned to look at Ryuno with concern: "Yes, because of us, you didn't even attend class today..."

If Officer Takagi hadn't spoken up, she would have almost forgotten that Ryūno was still a high school student.

"It's alright, I already asked Xiaolan to ask the teacher for leave for me. Besides, I already learned all the high school material in junior high," Longye said casually.

"What?" X2

Takagi and Sato turned to look at Tatsuno in surprise, the sudden Versailles speech instantly disrupting their thoughts.

"Officer Takagi, watch out ahead." Ryuno glanced at Officer Takagi, who had turned around, then at the streetlights in the distance, and winked.

After a moment of surprise, Officer Takagi immediately turned around and quickly adjusted the steering wheel, preventing an accident from occurring.

Soon after, the group arrived at their destination – the BEIKA shopping mall.

The suspect, Minoru Fukase, is currently in this shopping mall, along with his girlfriend, Risa Yoshii.

According to intelligence, she is most likely waiting for Minoru Fukase here.

"Alright, we'll proceed as planned and spread out to monitor them," Inspector Megure instructed softly.

Everyone nodded slightly and walked to their chosen spots.

Not long after, Minoru Fukase appeared at the entrance of the mall, and his girlfriend saw him and excitedly waved to him.

After waving goodbye to his girlfriend, Minoru Fukase took the escalator and slowly made his way to the fifth floor where she was.

Inspector Megure was about to give the order to take action, but there was a woman wearing glasses not far in front of the man.

To avoid any accidents, Inspector Megure planned to wait until he reached his girlfriend's side before giving the order to take action.

Longye stared at the bespectacled woman in front of the man for a few seconds, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Seeing that Fukase Minoru was almost beside his girlfriend, and the woman in front of him was now some distance away, Inspector Megure whispered into the microphone, "Okay, now. Arrest him."

Upon hearing the instructions, all the officers responded in hushed tones.

Only one officer with a crooked mouth shouted into the microphone, "Understood!!"

Upon seeing Officer Yamamura speak so loudly, Officer Chiba immediately widened his eyes in alarm.

But before Officer Chiba could stop Officer Yamamura, he had already taken off running toward the suspect.

He tripped and fell to the ground while running, and accidentally threw his police ID at the suspect's feet.

Suspect Minoru Fukase glanced at the police ID on the ground and his expression instantly changed.

He glanced around, then jogged a few steps and used a knife to hold a bespectacled woman a short distance away hostage.

"Don't come any closer!!! If you take another step, I'll kill this woman!!"

After saying that, he took the hostage and turned to leave the mall via the escalator.

Because he had a hostage, Inspector Megure and the others could only watch helplessly as the man boarded the escalator.

While threatening the surrounding police not to approach, Fukase Minoru carefully looked around to make sure there were no police nearby.

Just as he was about to take the escalator down to the third floor, Ryūno jumped directly from the fourth floor and landed accurately behind Fukase Minoru.

Then, Longye grabbed his arm with his left hand and squeezed it tightly.

--"ah!!"

With a cry of pain from Fukase Minoru, the knife slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

The next moment, Longye gently pulled with his left hand and then punched the man in the abdomen with his right fist.

--"boom!"

After a muffled thud, the suspect collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding police rushed forward and handcuffed the man.

The next moment, the suspect's girlfriend screamed and rushed over.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, she ran while pulling a fruit knife from her bag.

"Get away from Aren right now!!!"

Seeing this, Officer Yui immediately spoke up to persuade her: "Miss Risa, calm down. It won't help even if you do this now. Just throw the knife aside."

"No, I don't want to! Let my boyfriend go!"

After saying that, Yoshii Risa closed her eyes and charged forward, wildly swinging her sword.

Tatsuno happened to be standing on her "path to her goal".

Seeing this, the police officers all looked terrified and tried to stop them.

Officers Takagi and Megure, who were closest to him, rushed towards Ryuno to shield him from the blow.

However, due to the distance, everyone could already imagine the scene of Tatsuno being stabbed.

—"Bang!"

--"Snapped!"

The imagined scene did not come to pass.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Longye easily knocked the knife out of the woman's hand and slapped her across the face, knocking her to the ground.

"Quickly, subdue her!" Although still immersed in Ryūno's skills, Inspector Megure immediately issued the correct order.

Upon hearing this, the officers immediately snapped out of their daze, rushed to the suspect's girlfriend, and subdued her.

Seeing that the scene was completely under control, Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief and turned to smile, "Ryuno, this time we really owe you a lot! If it weren't for you... um? Brother Ryuno?"

At this moment, Inspector Megure realized that Tatsuno was gone.

The bespectacled woman who was previously taken hostage has also disappeared.

Next to a yellow sports car.

Longye walked straight up behind the woman wearing glasses and chuckled, "Wow~ a De Tomaso sports car~ You managed to buy such a rare sports car?"
