Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

Vodka, who was in front, was still a little confused. "Brother...that woman came by?"

Gin snorted and crossed his legs. "That's quite likely. The teeth marks on the chewing gum were damaged, and the fingerprints in the car were probably wiped off as well."

"We'll have someone take it back later and test its blood type using saliva. It's a pity that the organization's DNA testing technology hasn't been fully developed yet."

"But that doesn't matter. If the test shows that she has type O blood, then it can be basically confirmed that it is Shirley."

Vodka was surprised. "I didn't expect that woman to actually dare to come looking for us. She's really bold."

“Then let’s give her a chance.” Gin took out his phone again and called Pisco. “It’s a temporary mission. Besides the assassination target, keep an eye on Sherry for me. She might be going there later.”

After saying that, he edited an email and sent it to Vermouth.

The content was almost identical to what was said on the phone.

Gin stared at the seat in front of him with a cold smile. "Come on, Sherry, this time I'll send you straight to hell."

...

Conan and Ai Haibara also finished exchanging information at this time.

The little girl's expression turned serious. "Edogawa, you'll have to go to the Beika City Hotel by yourself from now on."

Conan asked in confusion, "Why?"

Ai Haibara looked out the window. "Gin probably doesn't think the bugging device was planted by a child. In his opinion, the only person who can recognize his car and has the core power to bug it is me."

"Instead of plunging headlong into the encirclement that the other side has set up specifically for me, I might as well head back now."

Conan thought about it and felt there was no problem with it, but a little idea was still popping into his head: "Since we suspect that the other party might be setting up an ambush against you, can't we just call the police and have them come and arrest them?"

Ai Haibara glanced at him. "Then tell me, who do you think will believe you? Or are you planning to call the police as Shinichi Kudo?"

"Let me warn you first, if anything goes wrong doing this, Gin might just equate this kid who's playing hide-and-seek with Shinichi Kudo."

"After all... the person who installed the bugging device had the same blood type as Shinichi Kudo, and Shinichi Kudo even called the police."

Conan remained silent.

Given Gin's quick thinking just now, he couldn't possibly say something like "100% capture" right now.

Hmm...we'll discuss it later.

-

I'm a bit tired from all the running around, but I finally managed to finish today's update. I'll do a small update over the next two or three days once I'm done with these busy days.

Chapter 116 Memorial Service

The idea of ​​calling the police directly under the identity of Shinichi Kudo has been temporarily shelved.

However, the intention to report the crime under a different identity has not disappeared.

While adjusting the voice changer, Conan said, "I just don't know who their target is. Anyway, as long as they go against the organization, that's all that matters."

“Protecting the people they want to kill might yield some clues.”

After thinking for a moment, Ai Haibara finally spoke.

She pulled her scarf down a little. "If I'm not mistaken, their target this time should be Shigehiko Tomonokuchi."

“Shigehiko Tobuchi?” Conan thought for a moment and then remembered, his expression becoming even more shocked. “That congressman who was first embroiled in a public opinion storm for accepting bribes, and then proposed an amendment that promoted Inspector Higashino to Assistant Inspector?!”

Conan quickly made the connection, "Oh...so the police realized that Representative Tonguchi might have been assassinated, which is why they had the First Investigation Division intervene and sent Inspector Higashino to provide close protection?"

He stopped adjusting the voice changer completely. "Gin said the target would appear at 6 p.m. sharp... We just need to confirm with Inspector Higashino the time of Congressman Tonguchi's arrival to determine whether the organization's target is him or not."

"Since Officer Higashino will go, I don't need to call the police. I can just talk to him directly."

As he spoke, Conan shook his head again. "Never mind, whether I speak or you speak, he might overturn his previous judgment and reconsider that I am not a child."

"Besides, they don't have many people, and the police inspector alone can't completely control the situation. I think it would be better if I called Inspector Megure."

Conan continued talking to himself, adjusted his voice changer, and immediately called Inspector Megure.

Although Inspector Megure knew that someone wanted to assassinate Shigehiko Tobuchi, Conan now provided the exact time and location. Considering Shigehiko Tobuchi's personal influence, he chose to dispatch the police immediately.

After witnessing Conan arrange everything properly, Ai Haibara got out of the car and prepared to go home.

Before leaving, she advised, "Gin has already seen you in your current state, so it's best not to let him see you again."

Conan chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry, he wouldn't think that a little kid could do so much and pose a threat to him."

But Ai Haibara scoffed dismissively, "You're still underestimating Gin even now. Your arrogance will kill you sooner or later."

After saying that, Ai Haibara left without lingering and walked away along the path she had come from.

The snow has started to fall heavily.

A cold wind swept through the streets, stirring up a wave of silent thoughts.

"Shinichi, why don't you not go either? The police will be there to protect that Senator Tunkou anyway. There are too many people around, and the organization might just abandon the operation."

Dr. Agasa, who had been keeping quiet in the driver's seat the whole time, finally spoke up.

Conan snapped out of his daze and shook his head. "No, I still need to go."

He climbed back into the passenger seat and sat down. "If the organization's target really is Congressman Tunkou, then it means that the organization chose to plan the assassination even though they knew there were police officers around him."

"Increasing the number of police officers is unlikely to deter them from carrying out their plan; it might even encourage them to begin their operation sooner."

Conan fastened his seatbelt. "It's better to keep an eye on them in person to perform well. It's been so long since we finally found their trail, there's no way I'm going to give up."

He comforted him, "Doctor, drive. I'll be careful after we get there. Ai Haibara was right; I shouldn't have subconsciously underestimated Gin and his gang."

Conan looked ahead and murmured, "Then this time it's my turn to ambush you."

...

the other side.

Higashino Ning is on the phone with Inspector Megure.

The other party said that a mysterious person had just called, saying that someone would assassinate Shigehiko Tonoguchi at the Beika City Hotel at 6 pm.

Megure Juzo meant that he would bring more people to support him immediately, and let Higashino Ning stabilize the situation first.

Conan has indeed run into Gin.

There are only 20 minutes left until 6 o'clock. According to the itinerary, we can arrive at our destination at 6 o'clock.

"What did Inspector Megure say?"

Seeing that Higashino Ning had finished his call, Takagi Wataru, who was in the back seat, immediately asked what was going on.

Higashino Ning didn't hide anything, saying, "He said a mysterious person called the police, and someone was going to assassinate Senator Tunkou at the hotel later."

Takagi Wataru: "???"

He glanced at Shigehiko Tobuguchi, who was sitting in the boss's seat, and looked embarrassed.

Good grief, the person in question is right here. You should at least try to avoid people!

Perhaps having come to terms with many things, Shigehiko Tobuchi joked with interest, "It's alright, I was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, so the pressure isn't too great."

Takagi Wataru thought to himself, "You really have a lot of nerves."

He smiled sheepishly, "Please make sure you don't leave the vicinity of me and Officer Higashino later. We will do our best to ensure your safety."

Shigehiko Tobu smiled but didn't say anything more, and Ning Higashino didn't respond either, so the car fell silent again.

A short while later, the car came to a smooth stop.

Just like the day before yesterday at the Metropolitan Police Department, there were many reporters and flashes of light.

Higashino Ning got out of the car first, and Toguchi Shigehiko didn't put on airs and followed him out.

His current mindset is quite simple, just four words: You kill me.

Whether you get shot in the head by a sniper bullet as you get out of the car, or are suddenly shot to death by assassins while walking on the red carpet, it doesn't matter.

Come on, come on!

Although he really wanted to live when he was struggling with Higashino Ning in the morning, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, he felt that his chances of surviving were extremely slim.

That organization has far too many ways to kill him; there's no escaping it.

Since that's the case, it's better to die with some dignity.

Put away that fearful look and walk the last stretch of your life as a high-ranking, spirited politician.

This way, all his hard work over the years will not have been in vain.

As Shigehiko Toguchi walked down the red carpet, he adjusted his cufflinks, displaying a confident smile to the cameras of various television stations.

A good politician knows how to craft questions when facing a group of reporters.

He glanced casually at something and spoke.

"That's right, pushing through the amendment is what I most want to accomplish right now."

"All is well so far. Please wait patiently. The small ripples I've created will surely become a sweeping wave across Japan in the near future!"

He then randomly picked a direction and pulled Higashino Ning, who was behind him, to his side.

"That's a good question. I do have a connection with this Officer Higashino. We're close friends despite our age difference, and it's a shame we didn't meet sooner!"

"What's wrong with choosing such an outstanding police officer as a pilot candidate for the amendment?"

"I not only believe, but I am certain that Inspector Higashino will not disappoint everyone present!"

"He is a pearl whose dust has been wiped away; his brilliance can no longer be concealed. He..."

Shigehiko Toguchi was in high spirits today.

Higashino Ning stood to the side, exclaiming that he couldn't take it anymore.

Can you please stop praising me?!

They asked you and you just keep praising them, it's so embarrassing!
