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

“…Who the hell is this guy?! Why is his style completely different from Beika Town’s…!”

Conan whispered in his mind, alarm bells ringing.

He almost subconsciously associated the other person's black clothes with a member of the Black Organization.

The silver-haired man in black who had knocked him out with a club at a corner of the tropical paradise seemed to have this kind of temperament...

Then he saw Nara Hikaru pull the trigger.

"No, no! Don't kill anyone!"

The Death God Elementary School Student didn't bother to disguise himself, and subconsciously pushed the door open and walked in, exclaiming to stop Nara Hikaru.

However, the bullet had already burst out of the chamber, tearing through the air and roaring towards the target!

boom!

Gunshots instantly rang out from the third floor of Lianhe Building.

The police officers at the Dadujian Police Station, which was right next to the Lianhe Building, were startled.

They subconsciously walked out of the police station, looked up at the Dadujian Newspaper Office on the third floor of the Lianhe Building, then looked at each other. Although they were nervous, they still took out the pistols at their waists and went up the stairs.

Because the police officers from the Dadujian Police Station remembered that some children had told them that there was a kidnapper at the Dadujian newspaper.

Before, they didn't take it seriously and watched those children enter the third floor of Lianhe Building to investigate some evidence. Now there are gunshots upstairs, they can't pretend nothing happened. No matter how dangerous it is, they have to go up and check the situation!

If possible... it would be best to rescue those children who are in danger due to their negligence!

At this moment, Haibara Ai, who had been staring at Nara Hikaru in the Otoman newspaper office, breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the bullet was fired at the silver fox's head, but it flew at a tricky angle and brushed against the silver fox's hair.

Although Silver Fox's hat was blown off, even some of her golden hair was taken away, it did not cause any substantial harm to Silver Fox, let alone kill the black-clad kidnapper and banknote counterfeiter.

"Ah, is my head there? Is my head there?!"

Silver Fox only heard a gunshot, then felt a chill on his head, and immediately screamed and touched his head.

Her clothes were already soaked, all over, drenched in cold sweat.

Looking at the frightened female criminal who had completely lost her nerve, Nara Mitsuru turned off the safety of his pistol and threw it aside. Then, he squatted down and took out the 100-yen coin.

"Ma'am, it looks like you won this game. This hundred yen is yours."

"Besides that, I have to say you're lucky... If you had pulled the trigger, regardless of whether the gun went off or the bullet hit anyone, I would have made you see your own brains."

There was actually a hint of regret in his voice.

In fact, Nara Mitsuru did feel regretful.

This kidnapping gang did not seem to be extremely vicious, but this woman actually planned to order the child to be attacked, which was beyond his tolerance. So he planned to force this woman to go insane and shoot.

In this way, he can use the other party's use of deadly force as a pretext for self-defense and kill directly.

Unfortunately, this woman did not have such courage.

She was stupid and created troubles that she could not solve, but it was precisely because of this stupidity that she had not yet reached the point where she had to pay the inevitable heavy price.

"Of all the criminals I've ever met in Beika Town, you are the most cowardly one."

Nara Mitsuru then stood up and looked at the door that was pushed open.

As if in response to Nara Hikaru's action, two police officers from the Owatama Police Station appeared at the door. They nervously pointed their guns at the only adult inside who looked like he had stood up freely.

That is Nara Hikaru, who is dressed in black and wearing sunglasses and doesn't look like a good person at first glance.

"Don't move! You have no way to escape, just surrender!"

Listening to the warning from the police officer of Owatama Police Station, Nara Hikaru shook his head and sighed again.

"You always arrive at the scene after everything is over. It's too slow and too meaningless."

"By doing this, what can you protect?"

Police officer from Dadujian Police Station:?

You sound like some veteran in this field. Isn't it rude to be like this on a first meeting?

Chapter 4 He is not a human, he is a ghost!

It was a full ten minutes later that Inspector Megure arrived at the crime scene with officers from the third investigation department.

After seeing the crowd gathered outside the Lianhe Building, he asked about the situation and found out that someone had fired a gun.

So, Inspector Megure hurriedly led many police officers to the third floor of the Renhe Building to see the specific situation.

If there was another robbery and shooting case in Beika Town, that would be... although it's quite common recently...

However, it is better not to file a report if possible. After all, it will deduct performance points and damage the reputation of the police.

Although, Inspector Megure himself knows that the reputation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is actually almost a joke...

"What happened? Who fired the gun? Was it that person again..."

"What are you doing? Playing hide and seek?"

The chubby police captain looked in surprise at the officers from the Dadujian Police Station who were searching inside the Dadujian Newspaper Office on the third floor of Lianhe Building, with several big question marks visibly floating on his face.

When the police officers from Owatama Police Station heard Inspector Megure's voice, they turned around and looked at Inspector Megure.

As soon as they saw the ID that Inspector Megure showed, the guys from the police station stood at attention and said with some lack of confidence.

"The person who fired the gun just disappeared..."

"Gone?!"

Inspector Megure's voice instantly rose an octave.

No, buddy, how could a living person disappear?

So you're searching here like you're playing hide-and-seek, looking for the person who shot Tama?

The reason why the reputation of our Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is so damaged is because of your invalid search!

He was bombarded with thoughts in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

Because Inspector Megure knew that the investigation department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters actually had similar capabilities.

The good-for-nothings in the Investigation Division are even worse than the officers in the Dadujian Police Station...

At least the police officers from Dadujian Police Station would look everywhere, but the useless ones from the search department would not even look for anything, and would definitely miss some particularly obvious clues. The most outrageous thing was that one time, those useless ones didn't even see any obvious bloodstains on the wall!

"Yes... yes, the person who fired the shot was a man in black wearing sunglasses. He was standing right here just now..."

"But we just blinked and he disappeared..."

Officers from the police station added what they knew.

Suddenly, Officer Takagi, who was following Inspector Megure on patrol, came to his senses and said in surprise.

"Ah, could it be that urban legend of a half-human, half-ghost?"

"I remember he would take action against criminals at night. Could it be that the person who took down the kidnapping gang that Detective Kudo mentioned this time is the true embodiment of that urban legend?"

"…What urban legend? It doesn't exist!"

Inspector Megure turned around and glared at Takagi Wataru, and Takagi Wataru immediately fell silent.

How could such a thing come out of the mouth of a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division?

At least you can't say it during working hours. Can't you go to the izakaya after work?

However, since it was done by that dark urban legend again this time, there's a high probability that they won't be caught...

He sighed, knowing that he would probably have to write another investigation report of thousands or even tens of thousands of words for this.

Despite this, Inspector Megure did not feel much resentment in his heart.

At least the half-human, half-ghost urban legend always does things cleanly, and no innocent people are injured or killed.

This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

"Never mind, at least the kidnapper was caught... Huh? Aren't you the Silver Fox?!"

Inspector Megure sighed and turned to look at the criminals who were handcuffed and sitting on the ground.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Isn’t the woman in the movie who was trembling with fear and whose makeup was smudged by tears the Silver Fox?

The famous pirated printing thief wanted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was unexpectedly caught here!

Humph, what a country bumpkin thief, he doesn’t know that Beika Town is protected by our brave third-level search police officers!

Watching Inspector Megure cleaning up the mess left by the man in black.

The Death God Elementary School Student was still somewhat confused and puzzled at this moment.

He originally thought that the woman in black was a member of the Black Organization, but it didn't seem like that since she was scared like this.

The man in black who shot and subdued the woman in black might also be a member of the Black Organization, but according to Officer Takagi, he was some kind of urban legend of a "half-human, half-ghost"... Really, what is going on?

What kind of half-human, half-ghost thing? What kind of urban legend? Should something like that appear in Beika Town?

Conan felt that something was wrong out of ten points.

The style of this scary man in black seems to be wrong!

he muttered under his breath.

"Damn it, what's this urban legend that only I don't know about?"

"Even Inspector Megure and Officer Takagi know this urban legend, so why wouldn't I know about it?"

Ai Haibara, who was standing next to Conan, glanced at the shrunken great detective.

Although she didn't know much about this urban legend, she was not as ignorant as Kudo Shinichi.

The terrifying man in black with two guns comes from the urban legend of Beika Town, "Half-human, Half-ghost, the best gunsman".

He has killed or seriously injured many criminals who appeared in Beika Town, and even several peripheral members of the organization died at his hands. He can be called the Dark Knight of Beika Town.

Of course, she was also surprised to meet this mysterious person who only appeared in legends here.

However, given the nature of Beika Town where there are cases and mysterious people, it is not surprising. Haibara Ai feels that she is unlikely to encounter this living Beika Town urban legend again.
