"What? You're saying we can't move out before dawn? What do you mean by that?" Kogoro Mouri roared angrily into the phone.
After racking their brains for a long time without finding a solution, Kogoro Mouri and Conan realized they still couldn't get to the villa, so they had no choice but to go to the police station at the foot of the mountain to report the incident.
"Don't be impulsive, Mori-kun." After understanding the specific situation, Inspector Megure advised while flipping through the documents, "Climbing up the mountain at night is too dangerous."
"Even flying a helicopter at low altitude in the mountains at night is very dangerous!"
"Why don't we try calling that villa?" Kogoro Mouri suddenly had a brilliant idea, grasping at a straw.
"Uh!" Inspector Megure looked troubled. "We've tried calling many times, but we can't get through."
"You'd better just wait patiently down the mountain." Although Inspector Megure was also anxious, he couldn't let his subordinates risk their lives!
"Speaking of which, why did Xiaolan go to that magic party alone?"
"Damn it! How was I supposed to know!" Kogoro Mouri got angry when he learned that the police couldn't do anything either. He cursed and was about to hang up the phone to think of another way.
"Uncle, wait!" Conan was pacing anxiously beside him when his eyes suddenly narrowed as if he had thought of something. He quickly stopped Kogoro Mouri from hanging up the phone.
"Hello, is this Inspector Megure?" Conan asked seriously.
"Oh, it's Conan! Is there some new discovery?" Upon hearing Conan's voice, Inspector Megure's tense face instantly relaxed, revealing a friendly smile.
In his eyes, this strange little brat named Conan has the potential to become his new little brother.
"Well, Inspector Megure, Ran and Sonoko went to the party together," Conan said thoughtfully, his head bowed.
Behind this statement lies a painful experience he had after shrinking.
After countless painful lessons, he finally understood a cruel truth: no matter how hard these detectives tried to help the police solve cases, they would be ruthlessly abandoned once something was involved that concerned the police's own interests.
Sure enough, when Conan mentioned the name "Sonoko," Megure's voice on the other end of the phone became noticeably more urgent.
"The garden? Which garden?" Inspector Megure quickly pressed for an answer.
“Sonoko Suzuki’s Sonoko!” Conan answered calmly, his tone tinged with indifference.
After confirming Sonoko's identity, Inspector Megure's expression immediately turned grim.
"Conan, the police helicopter will be here soon. You and Mori, try to see if you can get into that villa!"
Inspector Megure knew very well that if something happened to Sonoko at the villa, and the Suzuki Group found out that the police had received the alert long ago but had not taken action, then the police would be in big trouble, and he himself would definitely be in deep trouble.
Faced with such a pressing situation, any danger is no longer important; we must act immediately.
After all, for these kinds of incidents, the police don't seek merit, they just want to avoid mistakes.
Conan listened quietly to Megure's furious roar at his subordinates on the other end of the phone, urging them to hurry to the villa to provide reinforcements.
Finally, she silently bit her lip and hung up the phone without saying anything.
As Conan walked out of the police station, he gazed at the villa in the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Yuzuki Kusunoki! Thank you for letting me understand some of the truths about this society!"
...
Is it really that great to be rich and powerful?
Oh, Sonoko has something to tell you.
Having money and power is considered extraordinary.
After Phantom Thief Kid flew away, everyone realized they had lost contact with the outside world and could only go back to their rooms to rest and wait until dawn.
Yuzuru stayed on the bed with the chattering Sonoko and Ran for a while, chatting away.
"Ah, what's that noise? It's so noisy." Sonoko was thinking about how to get Yuzuru to stay when she heard the commotion outside.
On the other side, Xiao Lan peeked out from under the covers, her face flushed. She held down the large hand that was making a fuss under the covers and asked in confusion, "It sounds like a helicopter?"
"The police must have arrived." Yu Shengnan sat up from the covers with satisfaction.
Pulling back the curtains, I saw several police helicopters already flying over the villa's backyard, braving the night's wind and snow.
After saying a few words to the two girls who were lying shyly under the covers in bed, Yu Sheng Nan pushed open the door and went out.
At this moment, the others also heard the noise and came to the villa entrance.
Once the helicopter came to a stop, Inspector Megure was seen taking the lead and quickly getting off the first helicopter.
Meanwhile, Conan and Kogoro Mouri watched helplessly as the helicopter didn't stop at the suspension bridge but flew directly to the villa.
"It's Mr. Yuzuru!" Inspector Megure immediately spotted Yuzuru Nanami, who stood out among the crowd at the villa entrance.
"Inspector Megure, thank you for your help." Yuzuru nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After exchanging pleasantries with Yuzuru and confirming that Sonoko was safe and sound, Inspector Megure patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that his life was coming to an end.
...
"What? Phantom Thief Kid!" Inspector Megure's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He frowned, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "This can't be... Phantom Thief Kid only steals things and never hurts anyone, how could he suddenly kill someone?"
However, when his gaze fell upon the photos in the hands of others and the traces left at the crime scene, Inspector Megure was also perplexed.
Faced with the complex situation before him, Inspector Megure was also unable to make sense of it.
