Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Suzuki Museum

Following Secretary Nishino's arrival with a group of Suzuki family armed forces to the rescue, the Osaka Prefectural Police also arrived at the scene at a speed far exceeding that of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat and pursuers behind them, the zoo staff were filled with despair and surrendered without resistance.

When Tequila saw that the arrogant, burly man, Hungry Wolf, was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, she went up and kicked him twice as a reward for his previous arrogant behavior.

At that moment, Inspector Goro Otaki, the Osaka Prefectural Police officer in charge after counting the number of criminals and their weapons, stepped forward, saluted Suzuki Shiro and the other two, and respectfully said,

"President Suzuki, I am truly sorry. This was an oversight by the Osaka Prefectural Police, which allowed the criminals to assault you."

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing,"

Shiro Suzuki, still maintaining his "good guy" demeanor, said with a smile,

"Officer Otaki arrived very quickly. If it weren't for Officer Otaki leading the team, I would have been in real danger."

Inspector Ōtaki felt even more ashamed when he heard Shiro Suzuki praising him so highly.

When he arrived, the Suzuki family's armed forces had basically wiped out the people, so he didn't have to exert much effort.

Goro Otaki scratched his head, remembering the instructions given to him by Chief Hattori Heizo earlier, and quickly reiterated his stance.

"President Suzuki, our police only arrived in a hurry after your side had already launched a counterattack in self-defense."

"Look..."

As he spoke, Goro Otaki, the short and stocky man, winked vigorously at Shiro Suzuki, which looked quite comical.

Shiro Suzuki glanced at Masato Nishino, then smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's be lenient. Everyone's struggling to make a living."

"this......."

Goro Otaki didn't know what to say.

The head of the Suzuki Group seems a bit too weak-willed. They've practically put a gun to his head, and he's still...

boom--

The sudden gunshot startled Goro Otaki.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the burly man who was leading the group of thugs had been shot in the head and was lying in a pool of blood.

"what happened!"

Secretary Nishino Masato angrily rebuked the security captain beside him, who appeared to be the leader.

Why did you shoot?!

"I'm sorry, President, Secretary Nishino, my gun accidentally went off!"

The security captain saluted Suzuki Shiro and Nishino's secretary, which looked like an apology, but there was no remorse in it.

After being startled, Goro Otaki could hardly believe what was going on when he saw the scene before him.

He quickly stood up and shouted loudly,

"Self-defense! Self-defense!"

"When President Suzuki's legitimate armed forces were protecting him, they had no choice but to kill the leader of the criminals for President Suzuki's safety!"

"Self-defense! Absolutely self-defense!"

Goro Otaki's words were so resolute and convincing.

Well, at least the Osaka Prefectural Police who came along believed it.

Agave's lips twitched.

How could he have ever thought that Gin's father-in-law was such a nice guy?

This old guy and Gin seem like a really good match...

Kogoro Mouri immediately turned his head away and looked into the distance.

What just happened? He has no idea!

"Thank you for your understanding, Officer Otaki,"

Shiro Suzuki smiled and nodded at Goro Otaki, then turned to the security captain with a slightly reproachful look.

"Really, Kobayashi-san, how could you be so careless?"

"I've told you so many times, you must be steady and reliable in your work. How can I trust you and entrust you with important responsibilities if you act like this?"

"Yes!"

Captain Kobayashi saluted again and shouted loudly.

"I will definitely pay attention from now on!"

"Um,"

Shiro Suzuki nodded in satisfaction.

"It won't happen again."

Having said that, he turned to look at Otaki Goro.

"Officer Otaki, please give my regards to Chief Hattori."

"Okay, okay,"

Goro Otaki nodded repeatedly.

"I will definitely bring it."

After saying this, Goro Otaki, having obtained Shiro Suzuki's consent, quickly led his men to collect the bodies and escorted the thugs away.

The important thing is to go back and report to Headmaster Hattori as soon as possible.

After the outsiders left, Shiro Suzuki turned to look at Tequila and Kogoro Mouri.

"Mr. Ryu, Mr. Mori, we really owe you both a lot this time."

"Otherwise, if I fell into the hands of these people, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Hahaha, of course, of course, hahaha..."

Kogoro Mouri started laughing exaggeratedly again, and once again performed a special skill that only he and Sonoko Suzuki knew.

Agave scratched its head, quite modestly.

"No, no, I was just trying to protect myself. President Suzuki, you don't need to take it to heart."

"Eh—I understand, I understand,"

Shiro Suzuki smiled and nodded.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Even a strongman like Mr. Mori resorted to exaggerated gestures to ease the atmosphere, while Mr. Dragon completely distanced himself from the matter of saving people, not mentioning it at all.

But how could he not see what the two of them were doing!

When Secretary Nishino and the others left, the two resolutely chose to stay and face dozens of armed thugs. What courage and composure that is!

As the saying goes, a skilled strategist achieves victory without making a great feat.

It seems unrealistic to compensate the two with money; Mr. Dragon and Mr. Mori might not be willing to accept it.

Let's discuss the compensation matter in due course...

Suzuki Shiro thought to himself.

He glanced at Secretary Nishino again, and Nishino Masato instantly understood.

President Suzuki is indicating that he must satisfy the other party in a subtle and gradual way...

I understand, and I will definitely share the burden with the president...

"In that case,"

Suzuki Shiro smiled and spoke again, making another suggestive gesture as if holding a wine glass.

"It's getting late, and you two must be tired from what just happened."

"Why don't we..."

Tequila and Kogoro Mouri were overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Secretary Nishino also instructed the Suzuki Group's security team to begin an orderly withdrawal.

On the way, he also arranged a top-level... well, formal venue for Suzuki Shiro.

He also instructed several captains of the security team to go and look for Miss Suzuki.

If the other party has already attacked the president, they might just turn on Sonoko too.

After finishing all that, Secretary Nishino drove his car over on the way...

Shiro Suzuki beckoned Tequila and Kogoro Mouri to get in the car, and the group was about to set off.

At that moment, a black, unassuming Mazda drove into the Suzuki Museum.

Seeing Shiro Suzuki's actions, Sonoko, who was by the window, was somewhat surprised and hurriedly shouted.

"dad--"
