…
"What? The public security will take over the case?" Conan saw a few police officers come to Inspector Megure and he asked in confusion. "Why?"
"I don't know." Megumi Aiko's face was dark. "This is not the first time these public security police took over our case. It might be because this case involved something dangerous or related to the case they're investigating, so they took over."
Conan frowned, feeling extremely unwilling.
The next moment, Professor Agasa's call came, telling him that Ai saw Gin in Beika Cho and he quickly took his skateboard and rushed out without hesitation.
Megumi Aiko pursed her lips.
[Megumi Aiko [4]: Conan has left. I don't know what kind of message he received, but he left very quickly.
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: Perhaps about Gin. He's in Beika Cho not long ago and had completed his mission. Ah, it's time to fight with the people under no. 3… I'll let the lower ranked members to fight first and tell me when it's time for our appearance, no. 3.
Drug Dealer [3]: You mean for our drama… But how do you plan to ensure that Conan will be present at that time?
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I reported this case to my superior, but they told me to follow through the mission and see what I can do. They'll handle the clean up afterwards.
As for the signal… no. 5 said that once there's a firework, that's the signal.
Drug Dealer [3]: Huh, alright then.
Member of the Organization [10]: I'm going to find Vermouth and ask her to help me disguise myself.
Kami Shita [6]: Isn't it useless for you to disguise yourself because no. 1 can always find you almost instantly?
Member of the Organization [10]: I shouldn't have known such confidential information in my current identity. Besides, I don't even know who no. 1 is in the organization.
Kami Shita [6]: True enough…]
…
Either way, Conan found the dead body in Beika Cho and from the bullet marks on the ground, he guessed that it should be Gin.
So he called the police and waited for them to arrive.
But at the same time, he was unconvinced and felt as if all the clues would be cut off again.
It was infuriating.
…
"Gin, that policewoman named Kami Shita is a bit troublesome." Vermouth frowned when she received the message that a member of the organization was caught because this woman managed to find out that the face was fake.
"What do you want?" Gin was answering the call from Vermouth after finishing his mission.
"Kill her." Vermouth's eyes flashed with killing intent.
If it was not because she knew that Sake often played around and could not be Kami Shita nor helping her, she would have suspected that this woman is actually Sake. But Sake would not be so bored to play the game of detecting her disguise out of nowhere.
And it was to help the police officers…
Sake would not be so idle.
This meant that there was at least another person in this world who could detect disguise almost instantly.
They didn't need such an opponent.
And this is someone who was directly opposite of her, which was very troublesome.
"Don't order me around, Vermouth." Gin sneered and hung up the call, which meant refusal. He didn't want to appear brazenly in front of the police officers.
It was too troublesome.
Vermouth clicked her tongue and sent a message to someone else. Since Gin wouldn't do it, she will let someone else do it. Anyway, Gin is not the only available person.
…
The crime scene was sealed and Conan was frantically looking for evidence. But there was none and Gin was certainly extremely careful.
He would not leave any mark that could be directly associated with the organization.
It was really frustrating.
"Anyway, this is a murder case and I'm not from the first investigation division, so I'll go back first." Kami Shita stretched her hand.
"Yes. Thank you for your help today, Shita." Megumi Aiko patted Kami Shita's shoulder.
They both knew that it was time for Kami Shita's final appearance.
To be honest, there was that the righteous had to play the villain and the villain had to play the righteous in front of the main characters.
But Kami Shita has long appeared as a lazy police officer.
Turning her into an undercover agent or even someone evil is too difficult.
So they decided to let her be the unfortunate victim who was targeted because of her ability. Anyway, her ability was really strong and no. 1 had said that Vermouth was once dissatisfied with him.
If it's not because no. 1 has some status, he might not have been able to survive for such a long time.
"Hey, Conan, do you want me to take you back?" Kami Shita crouched down and intentionally messed up the boy's hair.
"No!" Conan immediately refused and moved towards the other side. He still wanted to try finding clues again.
Even if he knew that the chance was slim, he would never give up!
"Eh, up to you, then."
Kami Shita then walked out and took a taxi. Her car was still in the Metropolitan Police Department and she didn't have any interest in going back and taking it.
Besides, she didn't want to die in her car.
Hehe.
Swish! The car sped up towards the distance and finally reached the destination. Kami Shita has a good family and didn't live in the dormitory. Though, her place was far away from her workplace.
When she got in, Kami Shita was startled when she saw a stranger standing there.
"No. 7?"
No. 7 nodded. "Let's start."
The moment Kami Shita nodded, no. 7 started attacking without mercy.
This was their agreement.
Last time, no. 3 was designated as the serial killer but didn't actually kill anyone. Because no. 1 had helped him to set up the scene.
After all, there would be many people dying and no. 3 has never truly killed anyone.
So they chose to turn a blind eye on no. 1 blatant frame up.
It was what the mission required anyway.
As long as people believed the serial killer was the one who did it, it's enough. There was no need for No. 3 to take action personally.
But this time will be different.
No. 7 has killed many people in this game. Just because of the game's realism, it was really hard for them to truly think that they were only playing games and not really living a second life.
Besides, they had to trick the police officer and Conan up close this time.
The mission requirement can be both strict or lax. But it specifically mentioned that they have to play in front of the main characters. So as much as they didn't want to, they still had to put on a realistic act.
Swish!
The knife slashed through Kami Shita's shoulder as she escaped and quickly pressed the emergency button of her phone.
"Who are you?" Kami Shita asked with a panicked voice, not having the time to care whether the call was connected or not.
No. 7 naturally didn't answer and proceeded with the next attack.
Swish! Slash!
"Urgh."
