Chapter 91 Cointreau Chapter · Excitement
Not to mention that Edogawa Conan's brain crashed, even the forum that was always updated quickly was silent for a while, and then exploded instantly.
[So handsome, so handsome, so handsome, so handsome, so handsome! ! I performed a pants flying on the spot, the double guns are so handsome, and the combination with the cat brother is also so handsome! ! ! ]
[Fuck! ! Please handcuff me too, save me, save me, handcuff me, Officer Wuwu! ! ! ]
[When I rushed in to save the washing machine, I was so handsome, okay? I was so nervous in the last second, and the next second, a handsome savior came down from the sky and subdued the robber in an instant. Wuwuwu brought him in and wanted to marry him on the spot]
[Organized Crime Countermeasures Department? Hey, why is the screen blurry? Oh, I licked it myself, so it’s okay.]
[Back to top: The Organized Crime Countermeasures Department actually has a lot of work. For example, Section 2 is responsible for international crime incidents, Sections 3 and 4 are responsible for gangs, the Organized Crime Special Investigation Team is responsible for cases like forgery of credit cards and travel vouchers, and the General Affairs Office is the Drug Countermeasures Office, which is mainly responsible for cases related to illegal drugs. So Black Heart Honey is actually a drug-hunting police officer]
[Then why did he hide the gun in the banquet hall before? Isn’t it normal for police officers to be equipped with guns? ]
[I guess he was investigating something secretly. Drug arrest police have high requirements for confidentiality. Aren’t there often news reports about drug gangs they have cracked down on seeking revenge and involving their families? I guess that’s why Shuugo has to disguise himself when he is out there, and pretend that he doesn’t know his friends and family...]
[However, he will reveal the information under special circumstances such as when he needs to comfort hostages. Afterwards, he will probably explain the situation to the rescued hostages and have them sign a confidentiality agreement or something]
[Ahh! Did he go to Asari that night to investigate a case? Wasn’t there still a mystery about the candy in the case of the little girl? Maybe he went to inquire about the details of the case]
[Wow... I feel sad when I mention that case. But I don’t feel like they are investigating a case. After all, that case happened a while ago, and he went there so late. Maybe they are acquaintances? Before, I thought that the intimate gesture of helping to wipe my eyes when we just met was very strange, but now I think it might be a foreshadowing (?)]
[Knock, drug arrest/drug police...silently put on their pants and sit down obediently]
[Thank you for your hard work (put on your pants and sit down obediently.jpg)]
In the shocked eyes of everyone, Kasugawa Shugo knocked the leader unconscious with the butt of his gun before turning his head to meet their eyes. The serious expression on his face receded, and those round eyes curved into a gentle arc again, "Are you all okay?"
His subordinates wanted to focus on their abdomens that had just been kicked by the struggling leader, but then they thought of something and stopped their actions abruptly.
The old wound on the abdomen seems...
"Haru, Mr. Kasugawa...?" Suzuki Sonoko's face was still full of tears. She looked at the man in front of her in a daze, and she stuttered when she spoke, "You...you are not the one, the author of the online article..."
"Sorry, sorry, I have been lying to you before." When asked this question, the police officer shook his head helplessly. He endured the pain in his abdomen and arms and smiled, "Because of the special profession, confidentiality is required, so please don't tell anyone about what happened just now... I guess you will have to sign a confidentiality agreement after this."
"No, that's not what I meant!" the girl explained anxiously, "I don't blame Mr. Kasugawa, I'm just a little shocked... Thank you for saving us."
Kasugawa Shugo, who is always good at socializing, is not used to accepting other people's thanks. He responded vaguely and subconsciously looked at Megure Jusan. The fat police officer also looked serious.
"Thank you." He stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, and then seemed to remember something, "I also helped with the kidnapping case that time."
The video that Officer Megure received before was sent by Officer Takeda Daiji from the General Affairs Department who often contacts the Metropolitan Police Department. The other party only said that his junior happened to be hospitalized in the hospital and helped to dismantle the bomb and found the video.
Takeda Daiji only called him "Shugo", and only mentioned it once in the whole conversation. After that, he was busy with the serial murder case and the poisoning case in the banquet hall. Megure Jusan completely forgot about this name. When the man introduced himself, he only felt that it sounded familiar. He was always called "Mr. Kasugagawa", and the name Shugo was rarely mentioned.
So this experienced police officer only realized now that Kasugagawa Shugo was the junior.
"Hospital?" Maori Kogoro asked. Although he was not involved in the case, he did hear the other party mention it a few times because of his profession and his identity as a former colleague of Inspector Megure.
"Ah, yes. At that time, the kidnapping gang had planted a bomb in the hospital, and Mr. Kasugawa was hospitalized. He not only dismantled the bomb immediately, but also identified the suspect through the hospital's surveillance."
"Amazing!" Takagi Wataru said with emotion.
"But, is Mr. Kasugawa's injury okay? If so, you just finished your hospitalization..." Ran Mouri's worried eyes fell on the man's neck. The bandage there was soaked with sweat, and because of the action just now, it was a little loose, and a fierce wound could be vaguely seen.
"It's okay, it's almost done." Kasugawa Shugo lied skillfully, and then changed the subject, "My companions are dealing with the robbers in the exhibition hall... Officer Megure, I may need to trouble you to transfer the hostages later."
"This is what we should do." Sato Miwako was looking for weapons that could be used on the robbers, but her eyes were filled with worry after she answered, "But..."
"I suspect a bomb has been installed in the cabin." He interrupted the other party's unfinished words. For a moment, everyone widened their eyes because of the implied meaning of this sentence, only Edogawa Conan frowned.
"We speculate that the USB flash drive contains evidence of Matsuo Kazushi's involvement in drug trafficking." The chestnut-haired man explained, "and Mr. Narimi Nakamichi hid the USB flash drive on the cruise ship. In order to destroy the evidence, Matsuo Kazushi probably wanted to let the ship and the things inside sink to the bottom of the sea together."
"What? Wait... Isn't Mr. Matsuo the victim this time? He..." The police officer present was stunned by this series of information. He hurriedly stopped and asked, "Why do you say..."
"Because of the gems." Edogawa Conan showed a happy smile after completing the reasoning. He stretched out his hand and gestured a square box, "Remember when they stole the gems, they took away the exhibition box together. There was such a heavy table under the exhibition box. Wouldn't it be very troublesome to move it together with this?"
"Besides, if they are here for gems, aren't the gems pinned on everyone's chests also gems? There is also a Livia Star in it, which is worth several times more than other gems."
"Yeah..." Takagi Shigeru recalled their actions and frowned, "If that's the case, their goal is not gems at all."
"The drugs they are really targeting are hidden in the secret compartment under the box. I checked it when I cleaned the exhibition hall yesterday, but I didn't open it, so I can't be sure what drug it is..." Kasugawa Shugo sighed and said seriously, "I initially suspected it was a new type of hallucinogen."
"So they wanted to take the box away as well. In fact, they were using the excuse of robbing gems to cover up their illegal drug trading... Also, when Mr. Suemitsu said he wanted to go together..."
"That woman asked for Matsuo Kazushi's opinion first, right?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Okiya Subaru continued calmly, "Because at that time, she subconsciously looked at Matsuo Kazushi who was the hostage, and then agreed."
"Yes, so I think there must be a connection between them!" The little boy added the last sentence, "I left with them as a hostage because I knew the ship would explode, and I wanted to leave safely this way." I
just don't know what role Suemitsu Sosuke played in it.
"Yes, everyone's electronic equipment is unusable not because of the signal jammer, but because it was tampered with during the inspection before boarding the ship..." Kasugawa Shugo frowned, "Can we still contact the rescue?"
"I..."
"Sure!" The boy's voice came with a smile. He stood next to the unconscious robber, holding a mobile phone with a lit screen in his hand, and smiled, "Look, this uncle has a mobile phone."
Ah, it's really stupid, why didn't I think they also had a communicator just now, I could have sent a distress message earlier when I knocked down that man in the corridor before.
Kasugawa Shugo silently covered his face and made a note to himself in his heart, "If there is a bomb, they should be willing to cooperate with the operation. I will go to find other robbers and passengers in the cabin and the bomb, and try to dismantle it before the explosion. The USB flash drive..."
"I'll go with you." Okiya Subaru said seriously, and Maori Kogoro also agreed.
"I..."
"You just stay here!" Maori Ran was interrupted by Maori Kogoro before she could finish her words. He straightened his collar and showed a rare serious expression, "Leave it to me."
"Dad..."
When the door was pushed open from the outside, the group who had been seriously arranging the next action looked outside vigilantly. It was not a robber who came, but a girl wearing a hood.
"It's been resolved over there."
Haibara Ai, who was sent by Kuroba Kaito to report the news, looked at the group of people inside and was relieved to see that no one was seriously injured.
"Why are you here?" Edogawa Conan asked subconsciously, his face full of surprise.
"I met them in the corridor, and they brought me here together." Haibara Ai looked up and down at the boy in front of her, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It seems that you are quite lucky, big detective."
Hey, hey, why are you still like this?
He twitched his eyes, and when he turned around, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko had already followed Inspector Megure and the other two to the exhibition hall.
"Conan, and Ai, come here quickly." Mao Lilan turned around and shouted, "And Kirito, you..."
Asuka Kiri was originally still considering whether to stay and help, but both his vision and touch were tiring. He looked at the girls' eyes with strong concerns, and finally followed.
"Before you take any action, Mr. Kasugawa." Seeing the few people walking away, Okiya Subaru looked at the man who finally put his hand to cover his abdomen, and said, "Treat the wound first, especially the abdomen."
Kasugawa Shugo gave him a somewhat awkward smile, "Sorry."
This apology actually blocked Okiya Subaru's next words in his throat. Okiya Subaru rarely felt choked and didn't know what to say. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look at the man, "No, you don't need to apologize to me... I'll go first."
"Be careful."
Okiya Subaru and Maori Kogoro searched the robber's body for the gun and walked out the door first.
"Rebandage the wound on your arm."
The man who had been silent since Kasugawa Shugo came in suddenly spoke up. His long, thick eyelashes drooped, hiding the look in his eyes. He took off his coat, picked up the dagger from the knocked-out robber next to him, and cut his coat into strips.
"Atari..."
The police officer who had just stood tall and proud now shrank his neck and whispered the man's name.
He didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes, which were always bright, dimmed, and he bit his lips as if he regretted calling out the other person's name directly in such a situation.
Guilt, worry, reluctance, nostalgia, and the relief of seeing the other person survive the robbery brewed into a dark and slightly bitter honey wine.
That's what those eyes told Conan Edogawa.
The man who was called sighed. The bullet just grazed his skin, but luckily it didn't penetrate his arm or injure his blood vessels. He reached out to unbutton Kasugawa Shugo's shirt and took off his uniform. The man was wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt underneath, as if to make it easier to treat the wound.
Without water or the conditions to treat the wound, he could only take off the cloth strips that were tied randomly before.
"Brother Asari, there is a medical kit here." The little boy who did not leave with the others spoke at this time. He took out the small medical kit he found in the corner of the room. The man's address to Tsukiyama Asari made him react instantly, "There is alcohol in it."
"Thank you, Conan."
He first cleaned the wound with alcohol, and then used the dry and soft inner fabric to wrap the wound again. He
did not intend to let the other party help him treat the wound on his abdomen. While Tsukiyama Asari was treating his arm, he used his other hand to lift the hem of his clothes, revealing his bloody abdomen.
The wound was just pulled a little, not torn, so the situation was not bad.
Thinking of this, when Kasugawa Shugo was about to reach out for another bottle of alcohol not far away, someone took the bottle before him.
"Let me help you."
The boy whispered. He wiped the blood off with alcohol and saw countless old scars behind the scar. Some of the scars were still very obvious, while others were so faint that they were almost invisible.
Edogawa Conan suddenly felt a little guilty for having doubted the other party like that.
He has done so much for the public. He pretended to be a stranger when he met Tsukiyama Asari before. He went to dismantle the bomb alone after noticing something wrong in the hospital. He went to the banquet hall to investigate secretly without even recovering his wounds. He might even die in a corner that never sees the sun, and even his body cannot be found. He
was misunderstood by himself, just like he tried hard to save the people in the exhibition hall, but was blamed and questioned.
The immature little detective was already very depressed because of what happened just now, and now he brought his emotions into the other party's, and was instantly swallowed by the overwhelming guilt.
"You're jealous, right? This is a man's medal." Kasugawa Shugo spoke at this moment. He smiled and rubbed the hair of Edogawa Conan, who was obviously in a bad mood. He tried to make his tone light and cheerful. "It looks scary, but it doesn't hurt at all."
"Really?" Tsukiyama Asari's slightly cold voice came from the side. Kasugawa Shugo was startled and smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry - it really doesn't hurt. I'm completely fine."
Officer Haru lied subconsciously, pulled his neck into his collar, and shook his injured arm to prove that he was really fine. "It's a minor injury. It doesn't affect the activity at all..."
Before he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head by the other party.
Conan Edogawa felt a scalp ache subconsciously. As a person who had been led by Tsukiyama Asari for seven years, he had received many slaps from his brother after doing dangerous things.
How could this man be so strong? It hurts so much.
Seeing the interaction between the two, the boy's originally depressed mood improved a little. There was no gauze or other things in the medical kit, so he could only use the cloth strips of Tsukiyama Asari's coat to bandage.
Tsukiyama Asari also observed the movements on the other side through the forum comics. In
the comics, Kuroba Kaito solved the robbers inside very cleanly and neatly, and did not forget to put on a magic show of the thief Kid at the same time,
[Kid-sama————————! ! Knock... I put on the pants I just took off again, Officer Kasugawa, you've worked hard (fasten your pants and sit down obediently.jpg)]
[Huh? I didn't trip over my pants when I came in today (stunned.jpg) What's wrong with sweetheart honey? No one rushed]
[Maybe it's because this profession is really... Woohoo I'm crying again, I just went to look up all the places about Shugo: 1. Kogiri mentioned that her other brother taught her how to open the lock 2. When recalling the bomb case that Kogiri encountered, a group photo appeared on Asari's phone screen, and the face of the other person was cut off 3. Asari said in the ambulance that it was 'they' who took care of Kogiri together.
They have such a close relationship, but when Conan met them seven years ago, he didn't know there was such a person. He was like a ghost, cutting off contact with all friends and relatives. Even when they met, they would carefully pretend not to know each other, and every time they came back, they were covered in wounds.
...That's right, compared to calling him hubby, I would subconsciously say thank you for your hard work first, while Wuwu is very respectful...When I think about the hostages just now, it feels not worth it, as they risked their lives to save people like this...]
[I am really going to burst into tears when I see the expression on his face with the wound...It's the kind of look that is filled with anger, but also extremely sad. All the emotions turned into a sigh, and he just lowered his head and silently treated the wound. The last interaction was obviously very warm and lively, but it made me almost cry]
[The brief warmth stolen in the flames of war and gunpowder will disappear in the next second with the man's departure. Even though she knows that she will never see him again, she still pretends to say goodbye as if nothing happened. It is even possible that this will be the last time they see each other. [
Who stabbed me in the back... How serious can an injury be to cause someone to be hospitalized? After discovering a bomb in the hospital, I went there immediately to help the Investigation Division investigate a case that obviously had nothing to do with me. After that, I worked as a waiter in a banquet hall and came to the cruise ship... The wound on my abdomen was obviously a knife wound. The wound opened again just after I was discharged from the hospital. Why is there also a wound on my neck... How dangerous was the location of this wound at the time? I almost died directly.]
[Insert a topic that is a bit out of place, so was it Xiao Wu who helped hide the gun before? DBQ is a bit amused, that is, reuniting with the brother who disappeared for a long time, and being asked to help hide the "dangerous items"
Xiao Wu: .... This is a family member who can be handcuffed.]
Conan Edogawa also thought of this question at the same time, and the doubt that had been making him scratch his head finally had a breakthrough, "Mr. Kasugagawa, you were carrying a gun in the banquet hall before, right? Later, when you pretended to fall in the banquet hall, you handed the gun to Brother Xiao Wu."
"Bingo——" Kasugawa Shugo snapped his fingers, "I was so scared that day, I was almost handcuffed and taken back to the police station as a suspect... It would be so embarrassing if my seniors knew about it."
The man showed a distressed expression, then he stood up and moved his limbs, "Let's go... We're leaving, you go back to the exhibition hall obediently."
Although he said so, Edogawa Conan certainly couldn't leave. They walked out while making excuses, and finally had no choice but to let the little detective go with them.
"I don't know if I can catch up..." After reaching the corridor, Kasugawa Shugo frowned and rubbed the back of his neck.
The bomb, finding the passengers and the remaining robbers, and finding the USB flash drive, all three of these are very important. The second task has already been taken care of by Kogoro Mori and Subaru Okiya. After Inspector Megure and his team stabilize the situation, Takagi Wataru will also come to help, as well as Kuroba Kaito.
So all he has to do now is to deal with the bomb and the USB flash drive.
"Go find the bomb." Get rid of the bomb first. Kasugawa Shugo made a "tsk" sound, paused, and turned back to the lounge in the surprised eyes of the two.
"Mr. Kasugawa?"
"I almost didn't expect that, instead of looking for bombs randomly, it would be better to... ask these guys directly!" Kasugawa Shugo pointed his thumb at the people lying on the ground and smiled brightly, "There is still water here, wait a minute, I'll splash them to wake them up first."
A minute later, Edogawa Conan was dragged in by Tsukiyama Chao, watching the man tie up the team leader and throw him to the wall, pour all the water in the pool, and pour it on his face. After he regained consciousness, he raised his leg and stepped on half of the man's shoulder, then half bent over and gently tapped the team leader's face with the gun in his hand, "I'm going to ask you something, if you don't answer properly..."
The man's voice was full of threats.
Quickly recalling the scene when that person pretended to be mysterious and tried to scare him, the guilt and respect that had just risen in Edogawa Conan's heart instantly extinguished.
This guy...how come he looks even more evil than the scoundrel drug dealer in front of him.
It feels like it's not unfair to be a candidate for Cointreau!
The author has something to say:
Thank you for reading
Kasugawa Shugo: What are you looking for? Just ask! I've learned how to interrogate people.
