Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 3794 3808 [Case Closed]

“We…” Upon hearing Miwako Sato’s question, the officers of the First Investigation Division all froze.

“We are tracking you and this evil curly-haired guy, and we are ready to sabotage all your intimate moments”... Of course, such a truth cannot be said.

But how should I say that?
The group of stalkers looked at each other nervously and took a step back.

This retreat revealed Officer Shiratori in the crowd.

It had to be the commander of the defense line, Miwako Sato. The policeman glanced disdainfully at his guilty-looking subordinates, then said with unusual composure, "We're here to arrest drug dealers."

"Oh!" The officers suddenly realized: they had almost forgotten that today's surveillance was a side job, catching drug dealers was their main job, not the other way around!

"..." Officer Sato looked at this one, then at that one, quite suspicious, feeling that his colleagues were acting strangely today.

However, being surrounded by the atmosphere of work gradually brought her back to her senses from the shock and surprise she had just experienced.

The diligent policeman immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, Yagura Masaki! That drug dealer is getting away!"

……

Lakeside.

Yagura Maki was running frantically with her head down when she suddenly heard the sound of those deadly high heels hitting the ground behind her disappear with a thud.

He initially thought the sound of fireworks was masking his footsteps, but after the fireworks ended, the clattering high heels still hadn't caught up.

"What's going on?" Yagura Maki asked, turning around in confusion amidst his busy schedule.

Then, in the afterglow of the fireworks, he saw a man and a woman chasing him embracing each other affectionately, as romantic as an 8 PM soap opera.

What are those two doing...?

Looking at the two guys, and recalling the coachman in the audience who suddenly pulled out a box of rings for him, Yagura Maki felt a chill and pinched his arm hard: "Am I still dreaming? Is that why I had such a strange dream?"

But that's not right. He never dreams about love and romance. His dreams are only about money, lots and lots of money!
"Never mind, whatever these two are suddenly acting strangely, this is actually a good thing for me."

After a brief period of confusion, a rational drug dealer decided to abandon his research on the group of people with love-struck minds.

Although others caught up with him from behind, the distance had increased, and he was sure he could jump into the lake before being caught.

Full of confidence, Yagura Machi strode towards the shimmering lake surface...

Then, while crossing the bushes, he was suddenly tripped by a box in the shadows and flew out with the person inside the box.

With a thud, Yagura Maki crashed into the railing by the lake, bounced back to the ground, and fell dazed and confused.

He struggled to open his eyes and was shocked to see a figure rising from the bushes. Yagura Maki exclaimed in surprise: There was an ambush?! These cops are too cunning!!

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

After the initial shock, Yagura Maki looked at the person who had stood up and recalled what had just happened, but suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

—The guy in the bushes doesn't seem to be lying in ambush here at all. Instead, he's crouching here furtively, dismantling a box in front of him.

And inside that box that he had knocked away... there was a person inside!

"So they were human traffickers or corpse handlers!"

Yagura Maki snorted and angrily cursed, "This amusement park is such a big place, why do you have to make things difficult for me and hide in this corner to break the law? -- You dare to block my way, you just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the "staff member" he had berated lifted the brim of his hat and looked over with a sullen expression.

The intense pressure caused Yagura Maki's voice to catch in his throat, and his attempt to turn and jump into the water instantly froze.

He stared in astonishment at the guy who emerged from the bushes—for some reason, he felt that this fellow criminal transporting the corpse was more annoyed, more irritable, and more determined to "get away with this" than himself.

...Have you run into a tough opponent?
As he was pondering this to himself, suddenly, a flash appeared before his eyes. The outlaw thug opposite him approached him with terrifying speed.

Then, without saying a word, "thump!" she punched him.

"..."

Yagura Maki couldn't even last one round; clutching his stomach, he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Then, with a kick of his legs, he passed out cleanly and decisively.

"Yakura Mochi..."

Amuro Tooru, of course, recognized the face that was wanted by the police. He kicked the person aside with disdain, let out a long sigh, and then looked at the thing that had been knocked out of the box.

—Just now, as soon as he opened the lid, Jiangxia's box was knocked away.

Amuro Tooru didn't have time to pay attention to the guy who suddenly appeared. He hurriedly tried to catch him, but upon closer inspection, he realized that what fell out of the box was not Jiang Xia at all, but the informant who had disappeared with Jiang Xia from that aquarium!

"..."

This sudden discovery left Amuro Tooru stunned, and countless speculations flashed through his mind in a flash.

...But the current situation is clearly not the perfect time to slowly deduce and verify the reasoning: the drug dealer who suddenly started cursing at him, and the police who were rumbling in from behind like a tank formation, forced Amuro Tooru to interrupt his thoughts and quickly figure out what to do now.

Without hesitating for long, he punched the drug dealer unconscious, quickly sent a message to Kazami Yuya telling him to go and rescue his informant, then put his phone in a waterproof bag, turned around, and jumped into the lake with a splash.

Even if he hadn't done anything to warrant arrest, his sudden appearance in this way at this time and place would definitely make him a key witness in the case. He didn't want to be forced to deal with the Metropolitan Police Department as a member of the organization.

Compared to that, it's safer to slip away while things are in chaos.

Amidst the splashing water, a discreet figure swam swiftly away, skimming the shadows along the shore.

The water was a bit cool at night, but that wasn't a problem for a strong and healthy undercover agent. It was just that the scene of him swimming in the water while the police searched the shore gave Amuro Tooru a bit of a sense of déjà vu.

A moment later, he suddenly remembered: wasn't this the scene where he and Ireland were hiding from the police in the water?

Toru Amuro: "..."

That damned Uzo! My predicament today must have been his doing.

"But what exactly is he here for today?"

As Amuro Tooru pondered this, he swam along the lake to a corner of the amusement park.

The shore was higher than the lake surface, and he was looking for a suitable place to get ashore when a friendly hand suddenly reached down from above.

"Boss?" Jiang Xia seemed a little surprised. "Why are you swimming in the lake so late at night? Come on up, the water is too cold."

Toru Amuro: "...?"
