Chapter 2645-2657 [Correct Usage of Uzo] Ask for monthly votes ()

One minute ago.

Hashimoto Maya and Vodka looked at the approaching police side by side, and suddenly, Hashimoto Maya came up with an idea.

Before the leading Inspector Megure could speak, Hashimoto Maya stepped forward and greeted them, then said solemnly, "Inspector, you're just in time. I have something to talk to you about."

Inspector Megure was startled, and after a careful look, he quickly recognized the person who spoke to him with his excellent brother recognition ability: "Brother Yamada, and... Brother Hashimoto? What a coincidence, you are also watching this magic show! I heard from Brother Jiang Xia that you were busy with other things before, but I didn't expect that today..."

"Ahem!" Halfway through the greetings, Officer Sato next to him cleared his throat, unable to bear it any longer.

"Oh." Inspector Megure came back to his senses and looked at Hashimoto Maya again, "What did you say just now?"

"This..." Hashimoto Maya seemed a little nervous. He looked around, then like an ordinary citizen who had encountered a dangerous situation, he lowered his voice and leaned forward to ask for help, "I suspect that the audience member in seat 2, row 17, section B, is carrying a dangerous weapon!"

Vodka, who was eavesdropping, said: "..." Section B, row 17, seat 2... Isn't that your neighbor? What a good trick to divert trouble. You are indeed a subordinate of Uzo, and you have no regrets when doing evil.

While criticizing this hateful subordinate of Uzo in a low voice, Vodka pressed the send button and used the disguised email address to urge his trading partner to take the opportunity to leave through the other channel.

Unlike Vodka who knew the situation, Inspector Megure had already heard from Kudo Shinichi that there was an illegal transaction here. Now when he heard the report from Hashimoto Maya, he immediately connected the two things together.

"Dangerous weapon?" Inspector Megure looked at the audience from a distance, his expression becoming serious. "What kind of weapon is it?"

Hashimoto Maya: “…” How would I know? I’m just guessing. But after all, the person in front of you is the FBI. It must be very uncomfortable for them to go out without bringing something with them.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said vaguely, "I just feel that the bulge in his clothes is not right. It looks a bit... a bit like a pistol! But maybe I am seeing things. Maybe it is just a wallet or something."

"That's a possibility, but we can't be careless." Inspector Megure said, "I'll take someone over to take a look."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and led his subordinates to the location mentioned by Hashimoto Maya.

The police passed by the two men, and when they were far away, the two outlaws looked at each other and fell silent.

Hashimoto Maya: “…” Jiang Xia’s reputation is really useful. She was just known as a “colleague in the detective agency” and was let off so easily.

Vodka: "..." As expected of Uzo's subordinate, he really knows how to take advantage of him. By the way, Hashimoto Maya doesn't seem to know that Jiang Xia is Uzo, and he feels guilty for taking advantage of Jiang Xia's reputation... Ha, I really look forward to the day when he learns the truth

The two had complicated thoughts, but now was obviously not the time to stop and think. Soon they were wary of each other, went their separate ways, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

…

The two Black Organization cadres slipped through the net easily, but the net infiltrated by Uzo's forces was ruthlessly closed in at this time, trapping an innocent FBI chief who was passing by.

James faced the police's questioning: "..."

"Inspector Megure." James had met him once before when he rescued Shuichi Akai from the police station. He kept smiling and tried hard to awaken the inspector's memory. "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Do you know me?" Inspector Megure was startled, and took a closer look. Finally, he saw the foreign face hidden in the dim light: "It's you."

James: "Yes, yes, look at this..."

"That's right." Inspector Megure looked at him with a condemning look on his face. "I've told you so many times that you guys are on tourist visas and can't go out with guns. Come back to the police station and deal with it. There are too many people here, you can't stay any longer."

James: “…”

Soon, an old man with white hair and beard left the stage sadly under the escort of the police and the surprised gaze of the audience.

On the stage, Akai Shuichi glanced over here and sighed secretly: "..." In today's operation, they did not intend to contact Uzo directly, but just wanted to try to understand Uzo's background from the field of magic, and then find out his true identity and traces of his activities in society, so James went out with a gun, but now...

"Is this a coincidence, or another long-planned trap?" After several days, Shuichi Akai once again felt the fatigue of not knowing where to start. It seemed that the other party was always one step ahead of them and could always cut off their plans.

"But on the other hand, only if he cares about the magic world can Uzo react so quickly... maybe this proves that our idea is correct?" Akai Shuichi withdrew his gaze from his haggard boss and looked at Xinghe Tongmai, "We can't let James' sacrifice go to waste. If this is the case, then we need to catch this clue and investigate it thoroughly."

…

Shuichi Akai watched his boss leave mercilessly.

In the audience, Conan looked at the stranger being taken away, was stunned for a moment, and then realized that something was wrong.

Conan: "..." This person doesn't look like Hashimoto Maya, Inspector, who are you arresting? ?

"Wait, judging from the hair color, this seems to be the guy sitting next to Hashimoto Maya?"

After discovering this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, if there really was an illegal transaction just now, it would be the same to arrest him - after all, according to Huibara, the people in that organization are very keen on confidentiality and secrecy. If Hashimoto Maya really belongs to the Black Organization, then even if the police catch him, they may not be able to pry his mouth open. In this case, it is better to start from the side and capture the transaction partner."

Things seemed to be moving in a better direction by accident.

"I really want to follow him and listen to what this person who was taken away has to say." Conan sighed in his heart, "But Hashimoto Maya actually took the opportunity to slip away. If I make a fuss about going to the police station now, I'm afraid it will attract their attention... Forget it, I'll be patient for now, and then use Kudo Shinichi's voice to call Inspector Megure to ask."

…

Water escape is the last act of today's magic show.

The performance ended with a dramatic “escape”. After the curtain call, the magician and his assistant led the people on the stage backstage and returned to the lounge.

Jiang Xia also followed with Conan. Seeing him, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and surrounded him. They whispered awkwardly: "Do you think we just... did something bad with good intentions?"
