Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Sato Miwako was seething with anger, but she patiently explained.

If it weren't for the pressure from public opinion, she would have loved to slap Cao Yu twice for resisting arrest before forcibly taking him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.

"What? We have to put handcuffs on them too?"

Cao Yu continued to fabricate stories, his eyes wide with an innocent expression, his voice penetrating so clearly that everyone could hear him.

This statement only fueled the uproar among the onlookers.

"Cao Yu is not a criminal and cannot be handcuffed."

"Does this mean the police can do whatever they want? The police have no right to take Cao Yu away."

"You're cowardly and incompetent when it comes to catching criminals, but full of enthusiasm when it comes to framing innocent people. Tomorrow... no, today I'll put you on the front page of the newspaper and let you face the judgment of the public!"

"..."

The scene became increasingly chaotic, with several police officers being knocked down by angry onlookers.

Megure Juzo was already drenched in sweat as he looked at the scene before him!

The region under his jurisdiction had the highest crime rate in the island nation, with murders occurring almost daily, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the higher-ups.

If he further inflames public anger, his political career may be over.

"You're deliberately misinterpreting..."

"Officer Sato, calm down, let me handle this!"

Seeing that Sato Miwako was about to lose her temper, Inspector Megure quickly interrupted her and then looked at Cao Yu.

"Here's the thing, we need to understand some details of the mall robbery and we need your cooperation in making a statement. It's not that we suspect you of intentional homicide."

··Requesting 0 flowers····

A leader is a leader; they know how to assess the situation and act accordingly.

But Cao Yu had his own life motto: "Never enter officialdom in life, never go to hell in death!"

No one can take him to the Metropolitan Police Department unless he volunteers.

What if I refuse?

"This……"

Inspector Megure was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer Cao Yu's question.

Although we could forcibly take him away, we couldn't defy the public's anger!

Moreover, Cao Yu is among the most dangerous criminals on the island nation's criminal list, bar none. It's just that no conclusive evidence has been found yet, which is why he's been able to escape justice.

If provoked, no one knows what will happen next.

However, as an inspector in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure also has to maintain the authority of the police force.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma and couldn't make a decision, Eri Kisaki stepped out from the crowd.

"Officer Megure!"

"Oh, it's Attorney Fei. What can I do for you?"

As Eri Kisaki walked towards him, Inspector Megure felt as if he had seen a savior.

The wife of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, an undefeated queen of the legal profession, will surely be able to come up with a solution that satisfies both sides.

"I was one of the hostages in the shopping mall robbery and witnessed the incident firsthand. I believe that Mr. Cao Yu's handling of the case was neither illegal nor irregular."

"When in danger, everyone has the right to take legitimate self-defense measures."

"Of course, after all, this is a case involving several lives, and I understand that the police need to take statements. But as you can see, taking Cao Yu away now is not a good option."

"If Inspector Megure trusts me, please have Mr. Cao leave his contact information so that the police can schedule a time to come and take his statement."

Eri Kisaki offered her own advice.

"Well, that's it!"

Inspector Megure couldn't think of a better solution for the time being, and at the same time, he didn't want to offend Eri Kisaki, so he had no choice but to nod and accept her suggestion.

Cao Yu, eager to have more interaction with Fei Yingli, readily exchanged his contact information.

Seeing that the police had compromised, the onlookers quieted down.

"Damn it, are we just going to let him go like that?"

Sato Miwako stared at Cao Yu's departing figure, gritting her teeth and stomping her feet in anger.

"What else? Officer Sato, patiently gather evidence, and I believe that one day we will bring him to justice."

Inspector Megure patted Miwako Sato on the shoulder and sighed helplessly.

Chapter 64 The Aura of a Ruthless Bandit

Shopping mall, parking lot!

"Attorney Fei, thank you so much. Otherwise, I'd be in a police car right now."

Before parting, Cao Yu smiled and thanked Fei Yingli, still maintaining the proper etiquette.

In fact, Cao Yu had already come up with a plan when he was stopped by Sato Miwako.

If public opinion is useless and the police forcibly take him back to the Metropolitan Police Department, then I'm really sorry. Since the Metropolitan Police Department building has been bombed once, what's wrong with doing it again?

On the surface, Eri Kisaki saved Cao Yu, but in reality, she saved the police.

"It was nothing, but Xiaolan was quite frightened by the robbers and had to cancel the dinner we had arranged. I'm really sorry."

Eri looked apologetic.

According to Ran Mouri's character in the original story, she is only afraid of ghosts and spirits, and doesn't care about anything else.

She was deliberately feigning trembling, simply because she didn't want Eri and Cao Yu to get too close. "417"

Cao Yu saw through her little scheme, but didn't point it out.

There are plenty of opportunities, so let's take it slow!

“Those robbers were indeed vicious. You should go home with Xiaolan first. We can reschedule the dinner another day when we have time.”

"Alright, it's settled then, goodbye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After watching Eri and the others leave, Cao Yu, Akemi Miyano, and Vermouth also got into the car.

"Attorney Fei is exceptionally attractive; she's beautiful, kind-hearted, shrewd, and capable. Some people are probably itching to get her."

Vermouth gripped the steering wheel, making sarcastic remarks.

"Speak your mind. I'm not a stallion who drools at the sight of a female."

"Tsk tsk tsk, was I talking about you?"

"boring!"

Cao Yu rolled his eyes at Vermouth, then looked out the car window and suddenly remembered the system notification sound when he was stopped by Sato Miwako.

I was in a hurry to get away at the time and didn't check, but I happen to have some free time now.

"Could it be a hallucination, or is there no change at all?!"

Cao Yu opened the data panel and checked it, but found nothing unusual. Even the shopping mall was not open, so it was clear that no new achievements had been unlocked.

Just as he was about to quit in disappointment, he glimpsed a small red dot at the bottom.

Upon clicking, I found a notification that I had obtained a new outfit.

"What the heck? Are they cosplaying? And with a new outfit..."

Cao Yu secretly complained as he checked the specific information.

"Once a bandit, always a bandit; never a hero."

"To become a top-notch bandit, one needs a unique temperament. System special reward: Ferocious and menacing!"

"Fierce and menacing: This outfit enhances one's aura, allowing one to inspire fear in those around them even without doing anything."

It doesn't improve combat power or attributes, making it a useless item.

Since it was a free gift from the system, Cao Yu, adhering to the principle that it's a fool not to take advantage of a bargain, naturally chose to dress up.

Chicken ribs may have no meat, but they're still nice to suck on.

"Dressing up successful!"

"P.S.: Young man, keep going down the path of a notorious bandit. As long as you commit enough sensational crimes, you won't have to worry about being hunted down by multiple countries. Don't give up halfway, even the great system has its pride!"

This……

Cao Yu did not feel any changes in his body, but he was speechless about the system.

Why do I keep thinking he'll just drop out halfway through?

Pooh!

This damn system, what right do you have to save face!

Cao Yu cursed under his breath as he closed the data panel, then turned around and met Miyano Akemi's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"It seems like you've made up a character."

Akemi Miyano quickly lowered her head and moved to the side to keep a certain distance from Cao Yu.

"Oh? I'm not a god, I can't just change like that."

Cao Yu didn't take it seriously!

"I'm not talking about your appearance, but your aura. It's suddenly become oppressive, as if you're someone who doesn't want to be near you, keeping people at arm's length."

Akemi Miyano hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

A sense of oppression?

Cao Yu immediately realized that it was the effect of dressing up as a fierce and menacing figure.

But in his mind, people like Gin and Vodka, dressed in all black, wearing big sunglasses and never smiling, could be seen as bad guys just by standing there. That's what you call intimidating!

Besides, he's not a ghost or god, so it's not quite appropriate to describe him as someone who shouldn't approach!

In movies and TV dramas, corpse-transporters only chant "The dead are on their way, the living must stay away" when delivering goods at night...

"Hurry up!"

Vermouth glanced at the rearview mirror, suddenly reminded the two of something, and slammed on the gas, accelerating.

In the traffic behind, a black Hummer simultaneously accelerated.

Even with Belmod flooring the accelerator, he still couldn't shake off the Hummer following behind. The two vehicles showed off their skills in traffic, staging a scene of speed and passion.

"You little rascal, I'll teach you a lesson..."

laugh--

Before Cao Yu could finish speaking, Vermouth suddenly braked, and Cao Yu, caught off guard, slammed his nose on the back of the seat in front of him.

It hurts!

Although the system's various skills protect me from injury, they can't prevent me from feeling pain!
