Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

"...Most of them are new, and I'm worried. After all, I can't be sure whether Shitara Shigekichi is sincere in exposing them, or whether anyone has discovered them."

"If an accident really happens, I can at least provide a safety net. Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be able to cope with it."

There was no way for Fūya Ling to argue with this old acquaintance who had followed him all the way, so he just explained a few words and continued to observe the situation on the platform.

He did not forget to raise his wrist, pull open his sleeve, and check the time display.

[16:53].

The three buses that arrive at Muromachi Hospital around 5 pm are expected to arrive at 4:53, 4:58, and 5:03, which could be earlier or later.

However, the first bus arrived on time, but the 70-year-old man was obviously not there, so he probably had to wait for two more buses.

buzzing————

The roar of the locomotive sounded at this moment.

The commander and deputy commander of the Japanese public security in this operation turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction of the locomotive sound, and their eyebrows frowned at the same time.

Is this Tama modified motorcycle speeding?

Are these young people so crazy nowadays that they actually drive at high speed on the roads of Beika Town in broad daylight? Aren't they afraid of being hung with wires?

Ide Teruhito still has some impression of him.

At first, a group of bikers were running rampant in Beika Town, and then the citizens of Beika Town spontaneously hung sharp wires on both sides of the road they often drove on. Then the bikers accelerated————

The wire was cut off at the end, leaving only the body riding the motorcycle forward.

"Ministry of Transportation? There's a black modified motorcycle speeding and violating traffic rules on Muromachi Hospital Road. Could you please send the nearby patrol chief to handle this?"

"What? Five miles short of the speed limit, just under the speed limit? Seriously? Is there something wrong with your speedometer? It looks to me like I was speeding."

Ide Teruhito had already picked up the communicator and directly paged the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Traffic Headquarters.

The black motorcycle turned and drove into the parking lot of Muromachi Hospital, disappearing from Iide Teruhito's sight, so that he could only let go of the communicator in disappointment and give up his previous idea.

“…At this time?”

Furuya Rei whispered.

He learned from Inspector Megure about the murder case on the Hokutosei No. 3 train and suspected that Yan Shuangying had returned to Tokyo on the Hokutosei No. 3 train.

So before this operation, he sent a message to Yan Shuangying's assistant asking if Yan Shuangying had returned, and also explained the situation about Mihua Construction Company.

If Yan Shuangying really returned to Beika Town, it would not be surprising that he would appear in Muromachi Hospital now, but he still couldn't be sure.

There is no other reason.

There have been many Yan Shuangying imitators in Beika Town recently. Although most of them died suddenly while gambling on bullets, there are still a few who are really capable.

It's possible that some imitator of Yan Shuangying just happened to come to Muromachi Hospital at this time.

"There's no second bus..."

Iide Teruhito frowned and spoke beside Furuya Rei.

"If the third bus hasn't arrived yet, then something has happened. Should we investigate the situation of the third bus in advance?"

Chapter 226 Are you Kyogoku Makoto? (3/5)

The bus to Muromachi Hospital is about to arrive at the station, and the radio in the car has started playing a reminder tone.

The passengers inside the bus stood up and prepared to get off.

"Yuanzi, wake up. We're at the hospital. Didn't you say you wanted to come over for a checkup?"

Kyogoku Makoto, who was sitting in the back seat of the bus, gently patted the shoulder of Suzuki Sonoko next to him. Suzuki Sonoko, who had been dozing off after sitting on the bus for a while, suddenly woke up. She turned her head left and right and became confused.

"Are...are we here?"

Suzuki Sonoko got up in a daze. She yawned and subconsciously walked towards the back door of the bus.

However, just as she was about to get off the bus, she suddenly looked at the empty seat not far away with some confusion, then turned around and asked Kyogoku Makoto who was walking behind her.

"I remember the old man up ahead said he was getting off at Muromachi Hospital too. Has he gotten off yet?"

----elder?

A hint of doubt flashed across Kyogoku Makoto's eyes, and then he remembered what happened when he got on the bus just now.

Suzuki Sonoko was not sitting in this seat originally, but in another single seat. However, when she saw the old man coming up with the bag and there were no empty seats next to him, she gave up her seat to the old man. She only sat here and dozed off at the next stop.

The old man chatted with Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing holding the handrail, and mentioned getting off at Muromachi Hospital. However, he actually got off in a hurry at the previous stop and did not even get to the Muromachi Hospital stop.

"The old man got off at the previous stop. Maybe he had something else to do along the way."

He didn't care much about it. After all, they were just passers-by, and it was impossible for him to stop the person and ask him questions before letting him go. Even if the bus was indeed a vehicle of the transportation company under the Suzuki Group, they would not do such a thing.

After hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko did not ask any more questions, but just got out of the car through the back door in a daze.

Kyogoku Makoto followed him down, but he stopped for a moment and looked at the people in suits who hurriedly got on the car to inquire about the situation, and then he caught up with Suzuki Sonoko's pace.

Tick, tick, tick.

The Japanese Public Security Police officer glanced at Kyogoku Makoto and Suzuki Sonoko who were walking away, feeling a little confused.

He felt that the high school girl who had just passed by seemed to be the second daughter of the Suzuki Group who had appeared in the news a week ago. However, a celebrity of such a level should not take such a cheap means of transportation as the bus to travel, right?

"Excuse me, have you ever seen this person?"

The Japanese public security officers who served as partners did not notice the real existence of Suzuki Sonoko and Kyogoku.

He took out his ID from his suit and showed it to the bus driver. When the bus driver saw the secret police's ID, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The reputation of Japanese police can be said to be hated by people all over the country.

If the Japanese police had not produced an extra photo of the old man this time, the bus driver would have thought that the Japanese police wanted to take him back to boost their performance. After all, don't the Japanese police use the same memory recovery technique when they arrest and interrogate people?

"This old man...seems like he got off at the last stop?"

The bus driver said with some stammering.

He tapped his finger on the screen and called up the surveillance footage installed by the transportation company at the front and rear doors of the bus. It clearly showed Shitara Shigekichi hurriedly getting off the bus at the previous stop.

Suddenly, the Japanese police officer frowned and called up the image of Qianmen at the same time.

Although there were only surveillance cameras at the front and rear doors, and not inside the car, when Shitara Shigekichi showed signs of panic, several men in suits who looked unremarkable got on the car from the front door.

It was likely because these people got on the bus that Shitara Shigekichi got off early. In other words—

"Have the people at Beihua Construction Company already known that Shitara Shigekichi is going to reveal the inside story?"

The Japanese public security member frowned. He turned around, picked up the communicator, and whispered to Fūya Rei.

"Commander, the informant's presence has most likely been discovered by the people from that company. They sent people on the bus to look for him, so the informant got off at the previous stop, but the people from that company got off at this stop."

"I'm transferring the images of those suspicious individuals to my laptop now. I'll ask those in other directions to take action."

————Shitara Shigekichi got off at the previous stop because he saw people from the Beika Construction Company.

Didn't the people at Beihua Construction see Shitara Shigekichi? Isn't a seventy-year-old man conspicuous enough? Or did they not get off at the previous stop because they had other things to do?

Fūya Rei's gaze fell on the surveillance footage displayed on the laptop screen.

Afterwards, he asked the deputy commander to help watch, while he picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair and put it on. He gave up the idea of ​​continuing to observe in the cafe and decided to go to the scene to see the specific situation in person.

At this moment, Furuya Rei's gaze suddenly fell on the two people who stood out from the crowd——

"Suzuki Sonoko and her bodyguard? Why is Suzuki Sonoko here?"

Zero's executor's expression changed, and he thought of a possibility.

Wouldn't the people from Beihua Construction Company be so desperate that they send someone to kidnap Suzuki Sonoko and directly threaten the Suzuki Group?

------

"...So, Sonoko, don't play video games all night long anymore."

"I know. You're annoying. My family won't let me go out to play these past few days. What else can I do besides playing video games?"

Suzuki Sonoko walked towards the main building of Muromachi Hospital in a somewhat depressed mood.

Her family had already made an appointment with the doctor, and now she just had to get there on time. In her opinion, it was just a minor cold, and going to the hospital was an overreaction.

Kyogoku, who was walking behind, felt a little helpless.

Although the director and his wife of the Suzuki Group said that this was for Sonoko's own good, if they really said that, Sonoko would probably be even more unhappy. It would be better to say nothing at this time...

His gaze suddenly turned and fell on the person approaching this side.

————Is it someone with ulterior motives who is trying to attack Sonoko again?

boom!

Suzuki Sonoko heard some strange noises.

She turned around and looked behind her in confusion. Her originally confused mind due to a cold was suddenly awakened by the shock, because Kyogoku Makoto was actually fighting with others at this time!

Moreover, she had seen the person who fought with Kyogoku Makoto!

"Who are you? With such skills, I should have heard of you, right?"

Kyogoku Shin asked.

Meanwhile, the man in black, who had taken away Kyogoku's strength, asked in a confirming tone.

"Are you Kyogoku Makoto?"

Chapter 227 Seventy Years of Accumulation (4/5)

Should we say that this is worthy of being the ceiling of hand-to-hand combat in this world view?

Kyogoku Makoto's strength is quite terrifying, and judging from the way his body is exerting force, it seems that he has not yet used his full strength, and his skills are relatively lacking - but, compared to him.

The half-human, half-ghost urban legend narrowed his eyes and made a preliminary judgment.

If it were a simple hand-to-hand combat, he probably wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand against Kyogoku Makoto.

However, there is a high wall between bare hands and armed. If he uses skills and equipment to make up for the lack of hard numbers, it is not impossible for him to defeat Kyogoku Makoto in a real confrontation.

"You know me? No, that's not surprising... Who are you anyway? And why are you near the garden?"

Hearing Yan Shuangying's question, Kyogoku was a little surprised, but he knew that sometimes one should talk less and do more.
