Chapter 3542 3554 [I'm used to it]
Conan parted ways with the two high school girls and turned to go downstairs.
Standing on the escalator, Conan sighed, recalling the police officer figurine Sonoko had chosen: "If I remember correctly, at the Kamen Rider party a few days before the full moon, one of the Kamen Rider police captains turned out to be the murderer. And now Sonoko suddenly wants to buy this kind of thing..."
Is this really just a simple coincidence?
...The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.
Leaving the shopping mall and standing in the cold autumn wind, Conan looked around, wanting to wander aimlessly and try his luck to see if he could stumble upon anything.
However, after walking only a few meters, he suddenly felt a tight grip on the back of his collar, and a hand lifted him up from behind.
"What are you doing running around like that, you brat!" Kogoro Mouri's voice came from behind:
"Xiao Lan just messaged me saying you came out looking for me. Humph, I knew you weren't so obedient. Sure enough, you were planning to run around by yourself again—have you forgotten about how you and Xiao Lan were kidnapped a few days ago? Honestly, you're both more troublesome than the other."
Conan, whose patrol plan was abruptly cut short before it even began: "..."
It's that annoying old man again!
He struggled to his feet, straightening his disheveled collar: "I just suddenly needed to use the restroom, I..."
"Let's go to a restaurant." Kogoro Mouri grabbed him again and snorted coldly, "With me watching you, don't even think about running around today."
Conan: "..."
He struggled for a long time, but failed miserably. In the end, he could only follow Kogoro Mouri dejectedly to the pasta shop in the shopping mall next door.
...
The two walked hand in hand across the traffic light. Just as they were about to turn right, a phone booth next to them opened, and a stylishly dressed woman stepped out.
The woman walked away down the street with her back to them. Kogoro Mouri saw her back and exclaimed in surprise, "What a great figure! And she's wearing a miniskirt in this cold weather, how adorable!"
Conan was speechless. Suddenly, he noticed something and pointed to a pen in the phone booth: "This must have been dropped by that lady."
"Oh?" Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up, and he clicked his tongue. "This is terrible! What if it's something important? We have to return it to her right away!"
As he spoke, he moved with almost imperceptible speed, swooshing open the door, picking up the pen, and rushing towards that beautiful figure. Then, to Conan's astonishment, which had only just returned to his senses, he raised his hand and put it on the woman's shoulder.
...
Upstairs in the building diagonally opposite.
Gin was waiting for his two embarrassing colleagues to come upstairs while standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window, observing his surroundings through the specially made glass.
Looking down, he suddenly saw a child dressed in familiar clothes, and a middle-aged man holding the child's hand.
Although he couldn't see the face clearly, two names quickly came to mind—the child who often appeared around Uzo, and the useless detective who used to be a policeman.
Gin: "..." No wonder Vodka reacted that way, having to report even to take an elevator... It seems he also saw Uzo's people nearby.
That said, this seemingly useless detective is surprisingly quick. It seems there are no truly ordinary people around Uzo…
Just as he lit a cigarette and casually glanced at the scene of the disturbance downstairs, the fashionable woman who had been holding onto Kogoro Mouri suddenly grabbed him from behind, and then swept her high heels across the ground—with a bang, Kogoro Mouri flew through the air like a broken sack and crashed heavily to the ground.
At the same time, a large group of tall and burly policemen suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the alley, in the van on the street, and under the garbage bags on the side, rushing towards Kogoro Mouri, who was being held down by the fashionable woman, and piling him down like a human pyramid.
Gin: "..."
He turned around, drew his gun, and pointed it at the guy sitting at the table innocently flipping through the menu: "You should know the organization's rules."
"You mean keep it low-key and secret?" Jiang Xia sensed the strong smell of alcohol and the murderous aura, glanced up at him, closed the recipe in her hand, and said in a good mood:
"What does it have to do with us law-abiding citizens dining in a sushi restaurant when the police are arresting criminals on the next street? — You must remember that many times, the police are our friends and helpers, not our enemies."
He sighed as he spoke: "And ultimately, there are more cases where there are more people. You chose such a densely populated location, so if something happens, are you going to blame me?"
Gin sneered: "If you hadn't tampered with things, how would you have known there were cops arresting criminals downstairs?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Jiang Xia fiddled with the menu beside him and said logically, "I guessed."
Before Gin could speak, the door was pushed and pulled open, and Vodka and a waiter walked in.
Looking up, they saw Gin pointing a gun at them. The two of them, used to it, turned around and closed the door. Vodka even felt a bit nostalgic for this kind of atmosphere and excitedly said, "Big brother, I'm here!"
—Could you, because of this reunion, accidentally pull the trigger in your excitement and accidentally kill that evil thing, so that I can return to your side?
Vodka stared longingly at the solid leg. However, Gin ignored him, merely snorted coldly, and temporarily put away his gun.
The other person in the room responded to Vodka's greeting warmly, patting the seat next to him: "You're here, come and sit down."
Vodka: "..." Who's talking to you!
He was about to sit down diagonally opposite Jiangxia as usual, but when he looked up, he saw that Vermouth was already sitting there.
After a moment of silence, Vodka looked at the rectangular dining table and realized that the only remaining table was actually next to Uzo.
Vodka: "..."
...
downstairs.
Amidst a wave of fear, Conan watched helplessly as a large group of people engulfed Kogoro Mouri.
He was briefly shocked, but quickly recovered and breathed a sigh of relief—the ones who attacked Kogoro Mouri… well, or rather, punished Kogoro Mouri, were not that group of terrifying men in black, but rather a series of familiar faces.
"Brother Mori?"
Inspector Megure, who rushed over, paused for a moment, looking at the suspicious person whose knitted hat and scarf had been pulled off, and asked in confusion, "How is it you?!"
"Isn't that what I should be asking?!" Kogoro Mouri was pinned to the ground, wincing in pain. "I... I just wanted to return a pen..."
He waved his pen and looked at the fashionable woman with blonde hair, wearing a pink down jacket, a mini skirt, and beautiful red boots. He saw the woman raise her hand, grab her own long hair, and then forcefully pull out her beautiful long hair.
Mouri Kogoro: "?!"
