Chapter 29
"Huh? I used a police arrest technique?"
Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at his own and Date Kou's almost identical suppression methods, and at the two robbers on the ground who looked exactly the same, he finally realized.
Idahang identified the faces of the two robbers.
"They were so arrogant that I thought they were thieves and murderers who had recently moved to the area. But they turned out to be two habitual robbers."
Ida Ko handcuffed them, then called a nearby patrol officer on duty to take them away, and then he finally turned his attention to Hoshikawa and Ming.
"The grappling technique you just used is the police grappling technique taught in the police academy. However, this technique focuses on suppressing and arresting criminals. It emphasizes the use of skills to defeat the enemy with one blow, but it will not cause any real harm to the person. Instead, it needs to be used with handcuffs to play the greatest effect. So generally speaking, although non-police personnel are not prohibited from learning it, most ordinary people will not choose to learn it."
Date Kou looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki curiously, with a tone of admiration in his voice, and asked with a smile:
"Although I already know that you have practiced fighting before, but you can use police grappling techniques so well. The person who taught you must also be a policeman, right?"
Xingchuan and Ming were also stunned for a moment.
He just wanted to show off in front of Date Kou, and then the most appropriate way to deal with the situation at that time automatically came to his mind.
As for what moves he was using, Xingchuan and Ming didn't really pay much attention.
However, after Date Kou's reminder, Hoshikawa Kazuaki indeed found the clips of himself learning the grappling technique in his memory. He recalled:
"Ah, what Ida said is right. The person who taught me is indeed a very good policeman. His name is Nishihara Tadahiko, and he has always taken good care of me."
Date Hang suddenly realized:
"So it's Nishihara, that's not surprising. I remember he told me a few years ago that he met an interesting kid, it seems he was talking about you."
"Huh? Brother Ida and Officer Nishihara know each other?" Hoshikawa Kazuaki looked at him with a surprised expression.
"Ah, we both work at the Metropolitan Police Department. We worked together for a while before."
Ida Ko said something vaguely without further explanation. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something:
"By the way, since you two know each other, if I don't have time to pick you up after get off work, let him take you home."
Xingchuan and Ming's smile froze, and they said weakly:
"But Brother Ida, you just saw that my skills are actually pretty good. I don't know if that person hiding in the dark will attack me again. Even if he dares, I will beat him back in a few moves. So there's really no need to arrange for someone to pick you up."
However, Date Kou remained unmoved and said:
"Yeah, but what I saw was that someone was out of breath after just a few movements, and almost fell to the ground with the robber."
"Well... it's just that I haven't done it in a long time, so I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
"Yeah, that's right. Let's talk about it after you are completely used to it."
"...Hey! Don't treat me like a child!"
"But you are a minor."
“…”
After Toru Amuro got off work from the cafe, Furuya Rei's work had just begun.
He opened the work mailbox of the Public Security Bureau, and as expected, Kazami Yuya had sent him the details of the case that happened in the tower apartment a few days ago. The level of detail was far beyond the information of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division.
Having already entered the Furuya Zero state, he immediately began to analyze the possibility of whether the case was related to Hoshikawa Kazuaki or the Black Organization.
In fact, as early as when Hoshikawa Kazuaki proposed to return to the cafe to resume work, Amuro Toru had already immediately investigated his life experience from childhood to adulthood.
A gifted boy who grew up in a children's welfare home, with a gentle personality and outstanding talents, and a clear and true past experience. No matter how you look at it, this is just an ordinary gifted high school student, and he has nothing to do with any suspicious people.
However, Toru Amuro keenly noticed from Conan's casual complaint that the hooded man in black who alerted the young detective and the FBI had appeared downstairs of Hoshikawa and Ming's apartment.
At the same time, Xingchuan and Ming became the targets of poisoning by a hidden and arrogant criminal.
Could this be a coincidence?
Toru Amuro never believed in coincidences. He would only use the most covert actions to collect the most powerful evidence and infer the truth from countless confusing clues.
The blue-purple eyes flashed with wisdom and quickly scanned the computer screen.
After a while, Toru Amuro raised his head from the countless documents and videos, his brows slightly wrinkled, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the mobile phone that he used to contact the organization and made a call.
At the same time, the aura around him instantly became suppressed and cold, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cunning arc, and his eyes were instantly filled with a dark and sharp light.
"Bermode, I'm sure you, who are well-informed, already know about Baifu's visit to Japan."
"Well, Baifu? If I remember correctly, the reason why he returned to Japan this time seems to be related to you, Bourbon."
Bermode's voice was casual and lazy, and coupled with the sound of splashing water on the other end of the phone, it was enough to make people imagine.
However, Toru Amuro was not only unmoved, but he was even able to extract key information from the other party's words.
"'This time back to Japan'? Does he need to come back to Japan often?"
"You are always so sharp, Bourbon. But these little clever tricks are useless against that lunatic. He came back this time for your matter, am I right?"
However, Amuro Toru was not frightened by Vermouth's pretentiousness. Instead, he chuckled and retorted:
"But the information I got was that Baifu was one of the researchers who knew Shirley best, and he came to assist me in completing the task of recovering Shirley."
Vermouth immediately gave a charming and sweet laugh and said jokingly:
"You really can't hide anything from me. I wanted to scare you once, but it's a pity. Finally, I found a member of the organization who clearly dislikes you after just one meeting. I really want to see the two of you fighting."
"Hate me? Why? I'm not that familiar with him, am I?"
Toru Amuro's voice sounded innocent, but his nerves suddenly tensed up because of Bermode's words.
I only heard Vermouth mockingly in a lazy tone:
"I heard that you two once worked together on a mission a few years ago, but immediately afterwards, Baifu always kept a distance from you. For that cold and taciturn guy, this is already a sign that he really dislikes you. How come you, the person involved, don't know about it? Did you accidentally expose your sinister and cunning nature in front of him without knowing it?"
Vermode on the opposite side was smiling with a gloating look on his face, but Toru Amuro secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that I have been deliberately avoiding any interactions with Baifu. In the eyes of others, does it seem that Baifu is actively distancing himself from me?
This couldn't be better.
However, facing Vermode, Toru Amuro certainly did not explain so much, but continued to say along with the other party's words:
"Ah, you found me. Well, actually I came to you this time because I really need to know something about Baifu from you. After all, we are temporary partners. However, not only can I not find him, I can't even get his contact information."
"Of course you can't ask. Any information about Baifu is confidential even among the official members of the organization. Even if you form a partner with him, you can only wait for him to contact you. But in my opinion, the probability of him coming to you is... hehe..."
After hearing this, Toru Amuro felt relieved, but he became even more curious about why the Momofuku Club was so mysterious.
In order to cooperate with Jingguang's plan, he had to deliberately avoid dealing with Baifu. But the situation is different now, so the plan must be changed.
Since we were forced to become temporary partners, it would be better for me to have more information so that I can better respond when we meet in the future.
"So, Bermode, do you know any other information about Baifu?"
"That's a coincidence. I just know some irrelevant news. But Bourbon, why should I tell you?"
Facing Vermode's temptation, Amuro Toru hesitated for a moment, and then compromised helplessly:
"Well, how about this... How about I take care of your boring task of inviting new members to join the organization?"
Belmode was immediately amused, and he stopped laughing after a long while, and said with emotion:
"As expected of you, Bourbon. You want to send me off with just one mission. You really don't want to suffer any loss. But who made me in a good mood today? I'll tell you an interesting news. It's not that Baifu needs to come back to Japan often, but it's more that he needs to leave Japan occasionally to do things. After all, he is a very low-key and mysterious "special" researcher."
Amuro Toru noticed that when Vermouth spoke of Baifu, there was some indescribable complex emotion in his tone. He asked tentatively:
"So what's so special about him? If he's a researcher, why does he always appear in the action team?"
"Ah, who knows." Bermode answered absentmindedly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice. "Do you have anything else to ask?"
Amuro Toru glanced at the computer screen on the table, which had been lit, and finally asked the question he wanted to know most today:
"One last question. Since Baifu is a researcher, is he good at using poison?"
Whether a person will rely on his mastery of poisons to poison others at will is directly related to the person's character and bottom line, and also to whether Amuro Toru and Morobushi Kagemitsu's long-term plan can be successfully implemented.
Amuro Toru's mood at this moment was far less calm than his voice. Faced with this seemingly simple but also very complicated answer, his palms even began to sweat slightly.
"Poison? What a pity. I'm afraid he doesn't have the brains to do that. After all, even though he's a lousy researcher, he's still just a poor lunatic."
Vermode had no idea of the complexity of Amuro Toru's inner thoughts, but suddenly remembered something from the past and sighed meaningfully.
After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro received an email from Bermode. In the email, Toru Amuro agreed to complete the task of inviting new people.
Although it is called an invitation, according to the organization's style of doing things, they will definitely not use any legitimate means.
But if the person responsible for the invitation is Toru Amuro, then there is a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.
Besides, who says that if you exchange information for helping with a mission, then the mission is definitely just a reward?
Bourbon is known for his cunningness in the organization, so perhaps this so-called reward is part of his "sinister and cunning" plan?
Toru Amuro looked at the words "Network hacker 'Sparrow', identity confirmed" of the mission target, and glanced at the picture of the "murder notice" on the computer screen again, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
