Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Inspector Megure shouted, "Fakase, don't resist! Put down your weapons!"

"Back off!"

Minoru Fukase increased the pressure in his hand.

Everyone stared intently at the blade less than half a millimeter from the woman's neck, and had no choice but to take a few steps back.

Unlike the others, Conan upstairs noticed a bulge at the woman's ankle.

Furthermore, through the magnifying function of the glasses, he astutely noticed that no blood was flowing from the woman's injured and slashed neck!

So suspicious!

Conan was initially wondering if the woman was an undercover police officer, but the unusual appearance around her neck made him abandon that idea.

He was cut by a knife, but there was no bleeding, which immediately reminded Conan of Kid's disguise technique.

This suggests that the woman may have also been in disguise!

But no matter what, he will not stand idly by.

Conan quickly descended the escalator on the other side, looking for a suitable opportunity to make his move.

At the same time, Minoru Fukase made another move.

He dragged the woman away slowly down the escalator.

His girlfriend, Risa Yoshii, seemed unsurprised, following closely behind Minoru Fukase.

When Minoru Fukase went downstairs, he made sure that Risa Yoshii walked in front of him.

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, who were waiting below the elevator, were also hesitant to act, and could only watch helplessly as the three continued to go downstairs.

When the three of them reached the middle of the escalator, Conan seized the opportunity, used his soccer belt to shoot a soccer ball, and then activated his power-enhancing shoes to kick it out.

The next second, the lightning-fast soccer ball struck Minoru Fukase squarely on the head, the impact sending him tumbling down the escalator and crashing heavily onto the ground floor.

Kitagawa Taki, watching from upstairs, was speechless. With that kick from Conan, poor Fukase Minoru would definitely get a concussion.

He watched the whole thing from the sidelines, because the woman was actually Vermouth in disguise.

She pretended to be taken hostage probably to verify whether Minoru Fukase was the murderer.

As Minoru Fukase was thrown to the ground unconscious, a group of police officers rushed forward and quickly subdued him.

Vermouth then took advantage of the chaos and quietly left.

But it wasn't that no one noticed her. Conan ignored Minoru Fukase and secretly followed the suspicious Vermouth.

He thought he was cautious enough, and since he looked like a child, he wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Little did he know that Vermouth, who already knew his true identity, had discovered this little tail.

Vermouth walked calmly and slowly toward the underground parking garage without making a sound.

Conan followed Vermouth all the way, and when Vermouth turned into a corner, his pace quickened.

But when he turned the corner, he suddenly realized that Vermouth had disappeared!

Conan looked around, but there wasn't a soul in the huge underground parking garage.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Little brother, are you looking for me?"

Conan was startled and quickly turned around, only to see the woman looking at him with a mocking expression.

He forced a smile and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm looking for my mom and dad!"

At this point, Conan still wanted to use his identity as a child to get away with it.

Vermouth's lips curled up slightly. "Little brother, were you the one who kicked that soccer ball just now?"

Conan's pupils contracted, his heart raced, but he suddenly noticed that the woman's ankles were no longer swollen.

Just then, a miniature pistol appeared in front of Conan.

"It seems you've already figured it out." Vermouth's expression turned cold.

Conan instantly broke out in a cold sweat. How could this woman have such strong insight?

"Get in the car!" Vermouth gestured slightly, indicating that Conan should get into the yellow sedan not far away.

Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that the woman did not make a move immediately.

As long as he's not some indiscriminate killer.

He still has a chance.

He hadn't used his tranquilizer watch today, and if he could take advantage of the woman's inattention, he had a good chance of successfully launching a sneak attack.

However, before that, he needed to extract as much information as possible from the woman.

Conan obediently got into the car. He stopped pretending to be a little kid; after all, the woman had seen through him, and there was no point in continuing.

"Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Vermouth's gun was still pointed at Conan.

For the sake of Fujimine Yukiko, she'll teach him a lesson for her friend today.

Chapter 470 Curiosity Killed the Cat

"Edogawa Conan is a detective." Conan said solemnly.

Vermouth chuckled, "You're not that big of a person, but you've got quite the nerve."

"Who exactly are you?"

Conan subtly moved his hand to the tranquilizer watch.

It's important to know that Japan has a ban on guns.

The woman in front of me not only had a gun, but she was also disguised; she was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Don't move around!"

Vermouth was watching Conan's every move, and she also knew about Conan's tranquilizer watch.

"As for who I am, little brother, hasn't anyone taught you..." Vermouth's tone instantly turned cold, "Did curiosity kill the cat?"

The reason why Shinichi Kudo became Conan Edogawa is simply because his curiosity is too strong.

"The truth always needs to be revealed, even if it comes at a dangerous price!" Conan's eyes were piercing, and his tone was deep.

"But can you bear... this danger?"

Vermouth brandished the gun in her hand, the meaning of which was obvious.

Conan remained noncommittal, but he didn't think the woman would fire a gun.

If a woman wanted to fire a gun, she could have done so already.

"It seems you're quite confident," Vermouth said coldly. "Did you think I wouldn't harm a child?"

Vermouth originally only wanted to scare Conan a little, to teach him a lesson and not be so stubborn in the future.

Not everyone will be fooled by his childlike appearance.

But after seeing Conan's confident and fearless demeanor, Vermouth changed her mind.

boom! ! !

The gunshots were particularly loud in the quiet underground parking garage.

Conan's eyes widened suddenly; the woman's sudden firing of the gun caught him completely off guard.

The deafening gunshot made Conan's eardrums ache; he had even heard the sound of a bullet whizzing past his ear.

In an instant, Conan once again experienced the fear of death.

The last time was when Gin knocked me unconscious and forced me to drink poison.

"get off!"

The woman's voice came to my ears again.

Conan snapped out of his daze, gave the woman a deep look, and then got out of the car.

The car sped away.

Conan stood rooted to the spot, his face ashen.

The feeling of being completely out of control made him very uncomfortable.

Who exactly is this woman?

Conan subconsciously touched his ear; he wasn't injured. Clearly, the woman just wanted to warn him.

……

the other side.

On the police car.

You've got it wrong!

After learning the reason why the police arrested Minoru Fukase, Risa Yoshii loudly defended him.

"How could A-Ren be a serial killer?"

Inspector Megure said with a grim face, "Ms. Yoshii, this is not something you can decide just by talking."

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Fukase Minoru, who was still unconscious, and said, "Inspector Megure, Fukase Minoru is indeed very likely not the real culprit."

"Oh?"

Several police officers looked at Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki said, "From my observation, Fukase Minoru's right hand seems to be injured. If he was injured before the murder, then he is very likely not a serial killer."

Upon hearing Kitagawa Taki's words, Yoshii Risa grasped at a lifeline and excitedly said, "That's right, Minoru's right hand has been injured for quite some time, and he still can't fully lift it!"

She added, "You can check it out all you want, everything I said is true!"

Although Minoru Fukase is a wanted criminal, the crimes he committed are far less serious than serial killings.
