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

Upon hearing Gin's words, everyone's gaze immediately turned towards Vermouth.

"I'm asking if you've misunderstood something?"

Vermouth spread her hands and explained helplessly:

"Our organization's boss has changed, and the internal structure has changed too. Why would I call the police?"

Gin sneered upon hearing this.

Things have changed now, but there's no guarantee that someone won't bring up things from the past.

"..."

Vermouth always felt that she couldn't communicate with Gin.

This loyal dog is truly loyal to whoever he works for.

Just as the alarm bells were getting closer and closer and the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Qi Ming stepped forward and said with a serious expression.

"Gentlemen, I roughly know who the police are looking for."

"Oh?"

Chianti and Cohen looked at Qi Ming with some surprise.

Thinking about the people Qi Ming had killed in the organization today, the two of them also realized the extent of Qi Ming's methods.

As expected of the current boss, he found out who the undercover agent was so easily!

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Qi Ming coughed twice and then said:

"The police are most likely... people I brought in."

"..."

"……what?"

For a moment, everyone's minds were a little confused.

What's this?

The new boss sold out the organization on the very first day of its release?

Gin glanced at the gun in his hand, a look of confusion on his face.

The traitor was actually the leader?

So, did he ultimately accept the idea that a subject had no choice but to die if the ruler commanded him to?

Or has the mandate of heaven changed, and the minister must kill the ruler and overthrow him?

Fortunately, Qi Ming explained what he and Carlson had done that afternoon, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, should we retreat or fight them?"

Chianti excitedly told Qi Ming, taking out the pistol hidden in his trouser leg.

It's estimated that everyone standing here, except for Ai Haibara, could have a few lumps of iron on their bodies.

"Why are you leaving? We're here to eat, after all."

Qi Ming walked to the side of the road and looked at the corner not far away.

"Let's put the gun away and wait for the police to come. Actually, I'm quite curious how they found me."

After all, the police came looking for him right after he robbed a bank today, and Qi Ming had a strong feeling that they were there to find him.

Although he didn't reveal himself, it's important to know that there are now some awakened androids here.

Who knows, there might be someone within the police force who knows about you through some kind of device?

About several tens of seconds later, two police cars with flashing red and blue lights drove up from the corner and slowly came to a stop.

Looking through the car's windshield, one could see Takagi Wataru and Megure Juzo sitting inside.

Upon seeing the group of men in black standing in the parking lot, especially Qi Ming standing in front of them, Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi got out of the car and walked straight toward them.

Gin and the others unconsciously put their hands in their pockets, ready to use American-style iaido at Qi Ming's command.

"Brother Qi Ming, I didn't expect to see you here too!"

The expected questioning did not come; Inspector Megure simply spoke to Qi Ming in a relaxed tone.

"……Um?"

Qi Ming looked at Inspector Megure with a blank expression and asked:

"Inspector Megure, you didn't come to see me because of what happened this afternoon?"

What happened this afternoon?

Inspector Megure was taken aback, but quickly realized that Qi Ming was referring to the bank robbery that afternoon.

"Mr. Qi Ming, why do you say that... Oh, I see."

Inspector Megure looked down at Ai Haibara and smiled:

"Young lady, you were at the bank back then, weren't you? You're such a smart young lady."

"Ok?"

"what?"

Qi Ming and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat confused about what Inspector Megure was talking about.

Inspector Megure didn't pay much attention to their expressions. He smiled and continued:

"But you need to be more careful next time, after all, those robbers are psychopathic bad guys."

After the bank robbery in the afternoon, Inspector Megure returned to the police station and, based on Aikawa's description and the surveillance footage, he had a pretty good understanding of what had happened.

Based on that video, experts from their police station speculated:

That clown-like robber in the red suit was not only psychologically disturbed, but he also probably suffered from childhood trauma, which is why he let Ai Haibara and the other children go.

Judging from the conversation at the time, Ai Haibara's calm expression and tone clearly indicated that she had discerned this through some method.

After all, if this girl were truly ignorant and fearless, she would have stepped forward when the first group of robbers were doing their thing.

"I see, so that's how it is?"

At this moment, Qi Ming really wished that his intelligence was lower.

He thinks so much precisely because he's so intelligent; it's really a problem.

"...So, Inspector Megure, what brings you here?"

Inspector Megure raised his phone.

"I just received a report that a murder had occurred here, so I came over."

"..."

Gin and the others quietly withdrew their hands from their pockets, and then looked at Qi Ming's back with different expressions.

Gin: I see. So, was the boss saying that just now to test their loyalty?

Vodka: Got it, it was a misunderstanding.

Chianti: Looks like I can't be a cop anymore, it's no fun.

Vermouth: I have a feeling this guy is trying to embarrass me, but she has no proof.

Kaito Kuroba: I want to escape.

Ai Haibara: Idiot.

Upon hearing what Inspector Megure said, Qi Ming frowned, looked around, and then pointed to the restaurant ahead.

"The murder you're talking about, it wouldn't happen in that restaurant, would it?"

"Yes."

"..."

Qi Ming, who had just praised Vermouth for picking such a good location, couldn't help but want to praise her again.

They really know how to pick a place; someone died as soon as they arrived.

"By the way, who are these people over here... Eh, Kudo?!"

Inspector Megure glanced at Gin and the others behind Qi Ming, his gaze landing on Kaito Kuroba, and he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

"……Feel sorry."

Kaito Kuroba suddenly felt like he was living in Shinichi Kudo's shadow.

Why does everyone have to say that when they see him?

Kaito Kuroba wondered if he should find a way to make his identity known so that he wouldn't be mistaken for someone else again.

"Officer, I am not Shinichi Kudo."

"Is that so? But you really do look alike with Kudo."

Upon hearing Kaito Kuroba's denial, Inspector Megure couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world, that there were two people who looked so alike.

Shinichi Kudo...

Upon hearing this name, Vodka couldn't help but approach Gin once again and say:

"Brother, why does it feel like Shinichi Kudo isn't dead when I hear what this policeman is saying?"

"..."

Gin glanced at Vodka but didn't say anything, but Inspector Megure's explanation also aroused his doubts.

Seeing that Gin's expression had become somewhat subtle, Vermouth immediately prepared to change the subject.

But just then, three people suddenly walked out of the restaurant in front of them.

"Hey, Inspector Megure, you guys are here?"

"Oh, it's you Mori guys."

When Inspector Megure looked back, he saw Kogoro Mouri, Conan Mouri, and Ran Mouri walking out of the restaurant.

Qi Ming's eyes were slightly unfocused.

With Conan around, it would be perfectly reasonable for a murder to occur.

"Inspector Megure, the dead person shouldn't be the cook, right?"

"No, I heard it's a guest."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the chef didn't die.

"Inspector Megure, why don't we go along and take a look? Maybe we can be of some help."

"Oh! With Brother Qi Ming there, this case will probably be much easier!"
