Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

It was at this moment that Qi Ming also saw Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi by the police car outside.

There were also acquaintances.

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, the officers holding guns instantly tensed up.

"Put down your guns! Put them down now!"

Inspector Megure gestured to the police officers to put down their guns, then looked at Qi Ming and said:

"You can make any requests you have, but please don't get agitated!"

Inspector Megure was a seasoned veteran, and he knew that he absolutely could not confront such a ruthless bandit at this moment.

However, Inspector Megure felt a little doubtful.

I remember the person who called the police earlier said that a group of people wearing coats were robbing a bank, but now it seems that the people in coats are obviously hostages.

Immediately dispelling his doubts, Inspector Megure gave Takagi Wataru a look.

Takagi Wataru understood, turned his back, leaned into the police car, took out a walkie-talkie, and gave the order:

"Currently, we can confirm there is only one robber. Judging from the angle, we should be able to snipe him. You..."

While Takagi Wataru was still communicating with his teammates, Qi Ming spoke in his high-pitched voice, now altered by the voice changer:

"Just a heads up, if you contact a sniper, I'll kill this guy right away. And if any of you secretly take a gun, I'll kill him too."

As he spoke, Qi Ming took the gun and jabbed it hard into the robber's temple.

The robber's expression remained quite stiff.

Having roamed the underworld for so many years, he's always been the one being threatened with hostages. When did it become his turn to be threatened?!

We're in the same industry, so why do you act superior to me?

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, the robber suddenly felt a surge of anger and immediately shouted loudly at the police:

"No, officers, please don't send in snipers! I don't want to die!"

There was no other way; the situation forced me to just curse in my heart.

"..."

Takagi Wataru paused slightly in his hand holding the walkie-talkie, then turned to look at Qi Ming with a look of surprise and doubt.

isn't it?

How could anyone hear them when they were so far apart?

Inspector Megure's expression hardened, and he turned to Wataru Takagi, saying:

"This person must be an experienced one; he must have encountered similar situations before."

"Let's temporarily abandon the sniper deployment and try to communicate with him."

Takagi Wataru nodded, said "Operation canceled" into the walkie-talkie, and took a few steps forward.

"Don't worry, we won't use snipers. Calm down. Um... do you think we should talk about something?"

Takagi Wataru carefully chose his words, his throat bobbing involuntarily.

"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"

"Um...did you eat today?"

"..."

Megure Juzo rolled his eyes at Takagi Wataru.

What exactly are you talking about in this serious atmosphere?

Takagi Wataru scratched his head sheepishly.

He had never encountered a situation like this before.

Besides, he's really not good at calming down prisoners...

Megure sighed helplessly. They couldn't get in touch with their negotiation experts, and none of the police officers here seemed to be good at handling this kind of situation.

Just as the veteran officer Megure decided to go up and have a chat with Qi Ming, a voice rang out from among the officers behind him.

"Inspector Megure, how about I go up and talk to him?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure turned around. Before he could speak, Wataru Takagi exclaimed in surprise first.

"Hey Dr. Kazato, what are you doing here?"

The man named Kazeto held up the bag full of vegetables and meat and laughed:

"I came out to buy groceries and happened to see the commotion here. I never expected that something like this would happen."

Inspector Megure asked Wataru Takagi with some confusion:

"Takagi, who is this person?"

"Ah, Kyosuke Kazato, Inspector Shiratori's psychotherapist. Besides that, he seems to have treated quite a few of the guys in the police station."

"That's it."

A hint of joy flashed in Inspector Megure's eyes as he patted Kyosuke Kazato's shoulder heavily.

"Brother Kazeto, you've come at just the right time!"

While a psychologist might not be the best fit for the role of a negotiation expert, Kyosuke Kazato has dealt with many police officers and is therefore capable of handling such situations.

After listening to Inspector Megure's explanation of the current situation, Kyosuke Kazato took a deep breath, looked at Qi Ming, and stepped forward a few paces.

"Excuse me, sir, how about we talk?"

"Okay, what can we talk about?"

Qi Ming knew they were stalling for time to do something else, but he was also stalling for time to wait for Carlsberg to finish loading the money.

Qi Ming felt a strange sense of nostalgia for the current situation.

I remember when he was just a nobody, even robbing a bank was so simple and unpretentious.

"My name is Kazato Kyosuke. May I ask what your name is, sir?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a policeman. On the contrary, I've been arrested by the police before. We can be the same kind of people."

Kyosuke Kazato said to Qi Ming with a smile.

He first introduced himself, and then used the same distance to close the distance, a trick that always works.

"Arthur."

Qi Ming said.

Kyosuke Kazato nodded, and exclaimed in admiration:

"Okay, Arthur, nice name. I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, but please calm down. I'm here to help you."

"Tsk."

Qi Ming disliked these formulaic conversations and spoke directly.

“If you’re just here to tell me this, then forget it. I know you’re a psychiatrist, but I, Arthur, don’t need anyone’s salvation.”

Qi Ming's words directly revealed Kazeto Kyosuke's true identity.

There's no other reason than that his eyes are his ruler.

Kyosuke Kazato frowned.

Anyone who has watched television knows that in this situation, the person who steps forward to speak is either a police officer or a negotiation expert.

This robber is a bit unusual; how did he figure out my identity?

"...May I ask, Arthur, how did you know my identity?"

"I could see it right away."

"Arthur has a really good eye."

Kyosuke Kazato gave Inspector Megure a wink.

The name Arthur is definitely a pseudonym; even if Kyosuke Kazato didn't say it, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi, along with the other police officers, would know it.

Based on the information Qi Ming has provided, this person knows him, so there is a very high probability that he received treatment from him.

Hmm... It's a shame that a patient I treated has now become a bank robber. It feels like it might damage my reputation if word got out.

Megure nodded to Kyosuke Kazato and immediately made a phone call to the hospital to investigate the patients who had been treated by Kyosuke Kazato.

Kyosuke Kazato looked at Qi Ming again; it seemed he was going to have to ask him a different question now.

"I'm sorry, Arthur, I lied to you just now."

Kyosuke Kazato first bowed in apology, then naturally addressed Qi Ming:

"Arthur, have you encountered some difficulties that force you to resort to such extreme measures to make money?"

Qi Ming shook his head.

"No, I have no difficulties."

Although Qi Ming's voice was altered by the voice changer, Kazato Kyosuke still managed to tell from his tone that what Qi Ming said was true.

Kyosuke Kazedo's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is rather strange. Everyone has a purpose in doing anything, even if they are mentally ill.

"Then why did you do such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming replied quite naturally:

"I did it because I thought it would be fun."

"..."

Futo Kyousuke's body trembled slightly.

His eyes met Qi Ming's gaze behind the mask, and Kazato Kyosuke fell silent and said nothing more.

Seeing that Kyosuke Kazato had stopped communicating with Qi Ming, Inspector Megure leaned close to the latter's ear and whispered:

"What's wrong, Kazeto?"

Kyosuke Kazato shook his head and said in a deep voice:

“Inspector Megure, this person has gone beyond the category of antisocial personality disorder; he is a pure psychopath.”

"If I were to make a suggestion, my proposal would be to shoot them on the spot."
