Chapter 3416 3428 [Is this a real gun?]
Conan never expected that while he carefully avoided Jiang Xia, when he turned around, Kogoro Mouri had caused a big mess.
...It's probably too late to make Jiang Xia lose his memory now. The weak fake elementary school student thought for a moment and had to give up for the time being.
"However, if my guess is correct, then by tomorrow night, the cruise ship used for Halloween might be safer.
"Jiang Xia will be trapped on the ship. Even if he finds something wrong during the journey, he won't be able to get involved in what's happening on the other side... Think about it this way, instead of letting Jiang Xia wander around randomly tomorrow night, it would be better to reveal the Halloween incident directly. This will also prevent him from being too sensitive and running into the organization's gun when tracking down the abnormality.
"So, Uncle Maori actually did a good thing by accident."
Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Kogoro Mouri with mixed feelings.
At this moment, the basement door opened and a young man wearing an assault police uniform and a white helmet walked in.
The other kids from the Junior Detective League were surprised to see him. After a moment, Yoshida Ayumi whispered to her friends, "Is this the older brother we met at the shrine gate just now?"
Kojima Genta nodded. "That stingy brother! He wouldn't even let us touch his gun."
"Keep your voice down!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya glanced back at Jiang Xia quietly, lowering his already low voice even further. "That gun looks so realistic, it must be a very valuable prop. He's worried that we might break it, so he doesn't let us play with it. It's actually normal."
Nearby, the other people at the party obviously recognized the man dressed as a commando police officer. "Kamen Rider" waved and greeted him: "Honda, you're finally here! What made you so late?"
"This outfit took too much time to put together," the "Assault Policeman" said with an embarrassed smile. "It looks simple, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to put on."
Hearing this, Kamen Rider looked at his clothes with a puzzled look on his face. "Why are you wearing the uniform of the Assault Police? I remember your favorite character, it seems to be Kamen Rider."
The "Commando Policeman" pointed at him helplessly. "Aren't you, a veteran Kamen Rider, already at the party? I don't want to wear the same clothes as you—and it gets boring when you wear the same clothes all the time. I like to change things up once in a while."
"Oh, I see." "Kamen Rider" scratched his head and stopped worrying about this little thing.
He remembered something and gestured to the "assault police" towards Jiang Xia and the others: "These are Chuanghua's guests."
"A rare unfamiliar face." The assault policeman looked at Jiang Xia for a few times and frowned slightly. "Have I seen you somewhere before? You look a little familiar."
"Haha, I'd be surprised if he doesn't look familiar!" Kamen Rider laughed heartily at his companion's slowness. "That's Jiang Xia, the famous detective who's always on the news! Didn't we pass by his crime scene during our last team-building trip?"
"?!" The "Assault Policeman"'s memory returned, and his expression suddenly changed. After a second, he hurriedly adjusted his expression, "So, that's how it is."
Jiang Xia nodded politely at him: "Hello."
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko looked at Jiang Xia, then at the "assault policeman", and tilted her head in confusion: Jiang Xia was handing out business cards everywhere just now, why didn't he give one to this person now?
"Come to think of it, this guy's attitude towards Jiang Xia is a bit strange... Although I don't quite understand it, I can be sure that this isn't admiration or kindness!" Suzuki Sonoko realized it belatedly, touched her chin, and her mind was full of pink imagination:
"Could it be that he has a crush on Chuang Hua, and now, suddenly seeing an outstanding person of the opposite sex like Jiang Xia, who is of similar age, appear at Chuang Hua's party, he is jealous?"
A high school girl looked at her friend, then at the "Commando Police," and happily unfolded her little drama in her mind.
Next to him, "Kamen Rider" was completely oblivious to all this. After introducing the members of the fan club, he introduced the "Assault Police" to Jiang Xia:
"This is Honda, a member of our fan club. Although he's only been a member for six months, he's already a very active member, never missing out on any activities! He's a major contributor to our club."
Maori Kogoro took a sip of beer and looked at the strangely dressed fake policeman curiously. Suddenly, he stared at the waist of the "assault policeman" and frowned: "Your gun, can't it be a real gun?"
"How could that be!" The "Assault Policeman" quickly waved his hands. He pulled out his gun and waved it at everyone. "Look, it's just a model gun."
Kamen Rider nodded in agreement and explained to the guests, "Honda is a student in the Faculty of Engineering at Jonan University. He's very good at handicrafts and knows a lot about firearms. It would be strange if the model he made didn't look like a real gun."
Kogoro Mouri glanced at Jiang Xia beside him, then looked at Conan at his feet. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He took the model gun, fiddled with it, and sighed, "Both the weight and the texture are so realistic. You're quite talented."
"Of course. When my hobby meets my profession, I must strive for perfection." The "Commando Policeman" laughed. "But don't worry, the bullets in here are all blanks, and the muzzles are sealed. They are absolutely safe!"
Maori Kogoro looked into the muzzle of the gun: "Indeed..."
Conan was stunned: "?" It's really sealed?
He had just thought that this "assault policeman" was strange, and thought that the other party would do something with this real gun disguised as a fake gun... But now it seems that he was overthinking it?
"Jiang Xia, Yuanzi!"
A voice came from the side. Saotome Souka was standing by the bustling banquet table, holding a glass of wine. She waved at them, "What are you doing standing at the door? Come over here and chat."
Suzuki Sonoko came to her senses, smiled, and moved closer.
She was just about to ask indirectly whether her previous guess was correct, but at this moment, the basement door suddenly slammed open - someone pushed the door open and rushed in.
The big commotion attracted the attention of everyone present.
A bunch of questioning glances were cast at the sudden intruder.
——He was a young man with shoulder-length hair and unkempt appearance. After breaking into the basement, he climbed over the stair railing, jumped down, and landed steadily on the ground.
Everyone at the banquet heaved a sigh of relief when they saw it was him: "Mishima? Why were you banging on the door for no reason?"
Katsuji Mishima ignored these acquaintances. He snorted coldly, suddenly pulled out a pistol from his pocket, and pointed the gun at the "assault police".
