The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Bang bang bang!

Flames shot out and smoke billowed everywhere.

Right now, this small warehouse is just like a scene from a gunfight movie, with sparks flying and bullets whizzing around!

Click click click!

The eyeglasses presenter's gun was out of bullets.

His gun is a Tokarev TT33 with a magazine capacity of 8+1 rounds.

He had already fired several shots in the room on the fourth floor to create a fake scene, and the shark had just used one more. There weren't many bullets left in the gun, and after firing several more, he finally ran out of ammo.

He was devastated to discover that none of the shots he had fired had hit the woman in black!

Fortunately, the woman in black didn't hit him!

My ability to dodge bullets is terrifyingly powerful?!

Chapter 88 Are murderers this insane these days?

When faced with a desperate situation, eyewear presenter Takashi Matsuo displayed a strong will to survive.

His face was ferocious, and with a roar, he lunged at the woman in black!

When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!

The woman was clearly young and lacked courage; startled by her own words, she actually stepped aside!

Matsuo Takashi was overjoyed, banged open the warehouse door, and started running wildly in the corridor.

He ran while yelling, "Help! Help me!"

He was still clutching the pistol in his hand, thinking that when the woman caught up, he would turn around and smash her to death!

The gunshots of the two men exchanging fire, the banging on the door, and Matsuo Takashi's cries for help finally alerted the other staff members in the building.

Someone pushed open the door to check the situation and saw Takashi Matsuo running past with a ferocious expression and a gun in his hand.

Everyone was shocked!

What is this thing?

Are you filming here?

Wait a minute, this person is clearly the host, Takashi Matsuo, and I've never heard of him switching careers to become an actor.

And that gun... doesn't look like a prop.

After escaping down half the corridor, Matsuo Takashi finally snapped out of his adrenaline-fueled frenzy and realized the foolish thing he had done.

"It's over..."

In despair, Takashi Matsuo glanced back and saw that the woman in black was indeed gone, while in the corridor were television station staff members with shocked and horrified expressions.

Some bastards even carried cameras and recorded their own images at that moment.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

A flurry of footsteps sounded, followed by a large group of people rushing down from upstairs.

It was Kogoro Mouri, Conan, Ran, Naoto Hayashi, and other staff members who were broadcasting live.

The time allotted between the two segments of the mystery show was only four minutes, so as time was running out, everyone was frantically looking for the bespectacled host, Takashi Matsuo.

Then, a loud gunshot rang out, and Kogoro Mouri, without hesitation, rushed towards the source of the gunfire.

The staff in charge of filming were keenly aware that this was definitely a breaking news event!

Immediately switch to live streaming mode, grab your camera and run after them!

Takashi Matsuo and Kogoro Mouri meet at the top of the stairs.

The two looked at each other.

"I..." Matsuo Takashi instinctively raised his hand, wanting to say that there were no bullets in the gun.

Kogoro Mouri was startled and rushed forward to grab the gun-wielding arm, then executed a swift over-the-shoulder throw!

Boom!

Takashi Matsuo spun in the air before crashing heavily onto the concrete ground.

He felt like all the bones in his body were about to break, and he almost choked on a mouthful of blood.

Kogoro Mouri kicked away his pistol and pinned him to the ground.

The cameraman captured Kogoro Mouri's heroic capture in its entirety and broadcast it nationwide via live stream.

The show's ratings skyrocketed in no time!

What kind of TV show would have the host run out and shoot a crime midway through the show, only to be caught on the spot by a guest detective?

That's absolutely outrageous!

If it weren't for the fact that the person arrested was the host, viewers might have thought it was a carefully crafted script!

However, the director of the Japanese television station was overjoyed.

This deluge of traffic put him in a very real bind.

As for the arrested host, Takashi Matsuo... he was already a somewhat washed-up employee; if he quits, there are plenty of other jobs out there.

Kogoro Mouri, having subdued the assailant, immediately shouted, "Ran! Call the police!"

Naoto Lin immediately handed her the phone, and Xiaolan dialed the police.

On the other side, Conan frowned and stared at the culprit.

Another guy running around with a weapon...

Regardless of what crime this guy committed, his behavior alone is hard to understand.

but……

He had witnessed it himself several times.

From the strange man in the mountain villa to the little monk in the mud temple, and now to this bespectacled TV host...

Is this a new trend in how murderers commit crimes?

They've all stopped pretending and are showing up in a frenzied, unrestrained frenzy, howling. Are they mentally unstable? Or has something unexpected happened?

Kogoro Mouri is quite reliable in times like these.

He first directed the staff who were watching to help subdue the perpetrator, then went to check the warehouse where the shooting occurred, and searched for the real crime scene downstairs, where he discovered the body of producer Michihiko Suwa on the fourth floor.

The police arrived quickly, and it was Inspector Megure again.

Megure was completely numb. He felt that this Mori guy was quite powerful today. He had just killed a department head of a big company this morning, and then he went to the TV station to cause trouble for a producer.

Is it because it was quiet all day yesterday, so they're making up for it with double the effort today?

Do you have to be this dedicated?!

Does anyone give you KPIs that are designed to kill you?

Today is only halfway over, are you going to work overtime again tonight?

Please, Mori, take a break. I want to get some sleep.

I always feel that the most dangerous person in Beika Town isn't the criminals, but you, Mori-kun...

Inspector Megure sighed inwardly and asked the murderer, "Why did you kill the producer?"

Matsuo Takashi had recovered from the back throw, and upon hearing the inspector's questioning, he immediately erupted in anger: "That bastard! It was agreed that I would continue to host this program, but he actually wanted to fire me! Bastard! I have to kill him! Kill him!"

Inspector Megure wiped the sweat from his brow and asked, "Then why... did you shout for help in the hallway after you killed him?"

Matsuo Takashi was furious, roaring, "That bastard actually hired an assassin! A female assassin! A female assassin in black! She almost killed me! Luckily I escaped... You useless cops, go and catch that assassin!"

Upon hearing that there was a female assassin, Inspector Megure was immediately startled, recalling a female assassin named Tachibana Maya who had escaped from the police!

That person already has several lives in their hands and is wanted by the police. Could it be her again this time?!

That's incredibly arrogant.

On the other side, Conan was also startled. The female assassin, dressed in black, immediately triggered his sensitive nerves.

"Could they be members of the Black Organization?! But they don't usually take orders for sharks, do they?"

However, he immediately ran over, looked up at Takashi Matsuo, and asked, "Mr. Matsuo, what exactly is that female assassin like?"

Matsuo Takashi gritted his teeth and said, "She was wearing a black bodysuit, had long black hair, and a great figure... I couldn't see her face clearly, but she had a gun in her hand and fired several shots at me."

Inspector Megure immediately arranged for a search.

Conan was also extremely nervous and followed behind in the search.

However, after all that searching, the police only found bullet marks left by Takashi Matsuo in the warehouse where the "gunfight" took place, while the other female assassin left no trace at all.

It was as if this person didn't exist at all.

Of course. The prop gun that Lin Zhiren's Moonlight Clone got was just a plastic thing. When the trigger was pulled, there was a loud gunshot and a flash of light, but no bullets.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes obvious that it is a fake.

But in the heat of a gunfight, who would dare bet that the other side's gun is unloaded?

Upon hearing the report, Inspector Megure frowned, suspecting that the murderer was lying.

Matsuo Takashi was utterly terrified: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That woman was clearly exchanging fire with me... how could she not have any bullet marks?! You bunch of useless cops, search carefully! Search carefully! There must be bullet marks left behind!"

Inspector Megure ignored him and questioned the staff who were unloading the equipment, even checking the surveillance cameras on each floor.

There was absolutely no trace of the so-called "female assassin in black".

Clearly, it was Matsuo Takashi who was lying.

Inspector Megure, his face grim, led the criminal away, completely ignoring his desperate cries of "There's another female assassin in black!"

Chapter 89 Moriya Teiji in Trouble

Before leaving, Inspector Megure, thinking about his recently increased workload, decided to give his younger brother some advice.

He adjusted his hat and said kindly to Kogoro Mouri, "Brother Mouri, you've solved quite a few cases lately."

"Hahaha, it's alright, it's alright." Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head and started laughing awkwardly. He also felt that his recent behavior had been outrageous.

Inspector Megure tentatively asked, "Such intense crime solving must be exhausting, right? Do you have any plans to go somewhere for a vacation? Give yourself a break and rest."

Kogoro Mouri didn't feel tired, but he certainly wouldn't resist eating, drinking, and having fun. He just hadn't decided where to go yet.

Suddenly, Naoto Hayashi's phone rang, and when he answered it, he heard Sonoko's loud voice.

"Hey, I just saw Uncle Mori on TV! He was doing a live broadcast of the detective catching an armed murderer, it was so cool! Oh yeah, I also saw you and Ran, you were both on TV! Damn it, I wasn't there!"

Naoto Hayashi exchanged a few polite words with a smile, then heard Sonoko abruptly change the subject, saying, "By the way, Naoto-nii, my family has a ski villa in Nagano Prefecture. We have a holiday in a few days, and I'd like to invite Ran to go skiing together. Are you and Uncle Mori free? Come join us!"

Huh?

Is there really such a good thing?

The case came knocking on our door?

Can you even combine soul-collecting with a trip?

Naoto Hayashi immediately agreed.

Ran is happy, Kogoro Mouri is happy, and Inspector Megure is happy too.

Only Conan was somewhat annoyed.

Why do I have to bring that bastard Naoto Hayashi along again? Damn it!

However, he suddenly remembered something and quickly caught up with Inspector Megure, using Kogoro's name to begin questioning him.

"You're asking about the aftermath of the theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot? Well, the culprit hasn't been found yet. We've mobilized a large number of police officers to search and have also monitored the underground black market, but unfortunately, we still haven't found any clues."

"If I make any discoveries, I will inform Brother Mori immediately."

Inspector Megure answers every question, even those that should be answered by the public.

However, Mori is obviously not an outsider; he's practically one of us, so there's no need to hide it.
