Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island
Chapter 18 The Kamen Rider Who Passed By
I'm Shinichi Kudo, an elementary school detective. While walking home from school with my childhood friend Ran Mouri, we discovered that our classmate Sonoko Suzuki had been kidnapped by a group of men in black. Ran and I followed them in a taxi, finally finding Sonoko in an abandoned factory. Just as Ran and I finally untied the ropes binding Sonoko's hands, we didn't notice the accomplices of the men in black quietly approaching.
I was punched to the ground by the man in black, while Xiaolan used self-defense skills she learned from her father, a former policeman, to smash a brick into the man in black's shin.
One of the men in black fell to the ground in pain, but they outnumbered us, so we could only try to buy some time for Sonoko to run out and call the police.
Suzuki-kun, you have to escape!
……
"Why didn't you do this sooner?" Sonoko Suzuki choked back tears as she recounted the events to Kazumitsu Akihara, who commented on the situation after hearing it. Behind him, two men in black wielding steel pipes had already been brought to the ground, unconscious. He had ultimately used Kazemaru's attack skill, making the best use of it.
—There was no moon tonight, and under the flickering neon lights in the distance, the man before her seemed to acquire an almost mystical aura. Sonoko Suzuki wondered if she was seeing things, or if her eyes were blurred with tears—whatever the reason. Otherwise, how could she have seen the man's figure split in two, swiftly and silently striking down two men in black like a streak of light? It was just like… just like Kamen Rider!
"Don't cry. This is all your fault, Kudo. If he had called the police instead of rushing in to save you when he arrived at the factory, none of this would have happened." Akihara handed a tissue to Sonoko, who still seemed to be in a daze. The eleven or twelve-year-old girl tried hard to hold back her sobs.
"Then, can you call the police for me?"
Akihara fell silent, subtly tucking his phone deeper into his pocket. Normally, he'd be happy to do that; he wouldn't have to lift a finger and could even boost his public image. But he was currently portrayed as a wanted criminal! Calling the police to increase his chances of making a sale?
"Let's go, you lead the way, we'll go rescue them." Behind the mask, Akihara Kazumitsu looked like he was about to die a heroic death.
"Huh? But you just said..."
"The situation is urgent, young lady. The kidnappers have taken you hostage for ransom, so they won't hurt you. But if it were those two, they might not be so forgiving," Akihara Kazumitsu said seriously.
"Okay, okay..." Sonoko Suzuki was swayed. "But there are so many of them, and I saw some of them had knives... Won't it be dangerous for you to go alone?"
Indeed. Akihara Kazuhiro stopped in his tracks. If he continued like this, the points he had just gained would be used up again. No, he had to think of a way. Now that he was a member of the Black Organization, he had to make good use of this benefit. Call for reinforcements!
—And so, Morofushi Kagemitsu was stopped again as soon as he stepped out the door.
"Hello, hello, you're also a codename member, right? My codename is Su Dai, what's your name?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang:...
He looked warily at the man opposite him, then looked down at the timid little girl the man was holding hands with. As if remembering something, his eyes instantly turned cold.
"You can call me Scotch, Scotch whisky. What can I do for you?"
“There’s an urgent mission that needs your help,” Akihara replied familiarly.
After Akihara briefly described the situation, Morofushi Kagemitsu remained vigilant. "Why are you being so kind? And why did you come to me?"
"Scotland...you don't want Gin to find out that you sneaked into our private room just now, do you?" Without answering Morofushi Kagemitsu's question, Akihara revealed a villainous smile, which worked particularly well on Yazui Masahiko's face.
Sonoko Suzuki: ...This old man is scary!
"Don't worry, as long as you help me with this, I won't investigate your motives. On the contrary, I'll consider it an obligation to you, how about that?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu gritted his teeth inwardly, but then met Suzuki Sonoko's expectant gaze. He remained silent for a moment, perhaps thinking of his childhood friend, Tomomori Yuri, before finally replying, "...Okay."
……
Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri were tied back to back. Their hands were bound behind their backs with duct tape, and their mouths were also taped shut. Shinichi, mentally estimating the time, tried to cut the tape binding Ran's hands with a nail he'd found while being knocked to the ground. Finally, he succeeded in cutting the tape and slipping the nail into Ran's hand.
Just then, from where they couldn't see, came the slightly anxious voices of the men in black.
"Why haven't those two brought back the Suzuki Group's young lady yet?" the leader of the group asked.
"Did something happen on the way?" This was the voice of the man in black who had been hit in the shin by Ran's brick. There's a Japanese slang term, "Benkei's sore spot," which means that even someone as powerful as Benkei has a spot that hurts so much he cries when kicked—his shinbone is "Benkei's sore spot." Ran's attack was indeed effective; Shinichi Kudo clearly saw tears welling up in the man's eyes when he fell…
"Should we retreat first?" someone suggested, starting to back out.
"What about those two brats?" When the other person shifted the topic to himself and Ran, Shinichi Kudo had a bad feeling.
"Just tie him up here, we can't just let him go."
"No, no, I mean, have they already seen our faces...?"
At this point, the group stopped talking. Shinichi Kudo had a bad feeling, and Ran sped up the tape-cutting process.
The footsteps were approaching them, like the approaching death knell.
Just then, Shinichi Kudo suddenly heard rustling noises coming from the factory gate. It sounded like people were whispering, but the distance made it hard to hear clearly. Who was it? Were they reinforcements Sonoko had called, or were they their accomplices who had gone out to chase Sonoko? Soon, Shinichi Kudo knew the answer, because—
"FBI, open the door!!" The door was suddenly kicked open, and a burly man carrying a physics-themed sword stood in the doorway, followed by a young man who was obviously also shocked by his companion's actions, and a little girl peeking out from the doorway.
Before the people inside could react, the burly man brandished a steel pipe and charged at the man in black who was walking towards Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri. The steel pipe whistled through the air, startling the man into dodging.
Just then, Shinichi Kudo, who had just untied the ropes, quickly got up and kicked a flattened iron can that had been lying on the ground. The can spun several times in the air and hit the man in black in the cheek, catching him off guard and causing him to be hit by a steel pipe.
The other men in black also came to their senses. On one side was a burly man with a fierce face, and on the other side were a young man who didn't seem to pose much of a threat and the young lady of the Suzuki Group. After a moment of deliberation, they grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the door.
Zhu Fujingguang's gaze was deep, his muscles tense. He gripped the steel pipe that Su Dai had just forced on him. A black-clad man at the front was wildly swinging his iron rod at him, but he slightly dodged the attack and, before the man could retract his strike, slammed the end of the pipe into his shoulder. The man let out a muffled groan and instinctively tried to protect his shoulder. Zhu Fujingguang followed up with a flying kick, leaving the man sprawled on the ground, unable to move.
Immediately, another thug attacked, and he struck the man's chin violently with a steel pipe, causing him to lose his balance instantly. Then, he swung the pipe back and stabbed another man in black, who was lunging at him with a knife, in the abdomen. In the blink of an eye, three men in black were lying on the ground. The others around him realized the situation was dire and began to consider retreating.
Akihara Kazumitsu silently reached out to cover the eyes of the two children on his side. What followed was a one-sided beating, too brutal for the children to watch. He didn't notice that one of them was staring intently at Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had single-handedly taken down six or seven men in black, while the other had already frowned and fixed his gaze on him.
Finally, the dust settled, and the last man in black lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Sonoko Suzuki looked around and, finding that there seemed to be no danger, eagerly called Ran's name and ran towards the two children.
"Waaaa, Ran, I'm so sorry. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have been caught. They didn't hurt you, did they?" Sonoko Suzuki grabbed Ran Mouri's shoulders, tears welling up again.
"Alright, alright, Sonoko, don't cry. We're alright now." Ran Mouri hugged Sonoko Suzuki's trembling body and comforted her softly.
At this moment, the clueless Shinichi Kudo looked up at Kazuhiro Akihara and asked in a tone completely different from his Conan days, sounding like a child pretending to be an adult, "Uncle, what do you do for a living?"
With a smile, Akihara Kazumitsu replied in a coaxing tone, "Uncle is just a Kamen Rider passing by."
Kudo Shinichi:......
"Oh, right, I met this uncle when I went out to find the police. He's the one who helped me get rid of those two men in black who were chasing us, and he even got his partner to come and rescue us!" Sonoko Suzuki finally calmed down and introduced Akihara Kazumitsu and Morofushi Kagemitsu to her two friends.
Ran Mouri looked at the two of them with admiration, especially Morofushi Kagemitsu. "Wow... Big brother's fighting skills are amazing!"
The system chuckled twice in Akihara Kazuhiro's mind. "Did you hear that? They call you uncle, and Morofushi Kagemitsu-nii-nii (older brother)."
Akihara remained unfazed: "They're calling for Yazuki Masahiko. What does that have to do with me, Akihara Kazumitsu?"
Shinichi Kudo, who had been interrupted, looked very annoyed. "Uncle, this face isn't yours, is it?" he blurted out, throwing out a bombshell.
Akihara showed no surprise at being exposed and continued to look at him with a smile: "What are you talking about, little brother? Although I... Uncle said I am Kamen Rider, it doesn't mean that this face is fake."
“Although your disguise seems flawless, there are noticeable inconsistencies when you move. Also, your wrists and ankles are unusually thin. Based on this, I deduce that you're faking this appearance.” The young detective smiled confidently. “Am I right, sir?”
Akihara Kazumitsu clapped for him, but spoke in a clear, youthful voice. He could finally stop straining his voice; it was exhausting. "Excellent, little detective. Congratulations on getting it right! Clap clap..." His tone remained the same, as if he were coaxing a child.
Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly looked at Akihara as if he had finally figured something out. Akihara returned the gesture with a smile.
Shinichi Kudo was clearly not satisfied with this answer. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Sonoko Suzuki's excited voice. "Could it be that your true identities are..."
What she didn't realize was that the atmosphere suddenly became tense as soon as she uttered those words.
"Plainclothes police!" the two girls said in unison.
The atmosphere didn't change because of those four words. The young detective remained vigilant, and Morofushi Kagemitsu tensed up because he had been accidentally guessed correctly.
Oh dear, so intuitive beings can be quite terrifying sometimes.
He neither confirmed nor denied Sonoko and the others' answers, but simply smiled and said to the three elementary school students, "Alright, little ones, today's adventure is over. It's time to go home."
"Oh, but..."
"Our brothers are going to hand the bad guys over to the police officers. You guys will be disturbing their work if you're here." Akihara ruffled Kudo Shinichi's hair, thinking to himself that it was worth it. Kudo looked up at him in disbelief.
“Okay…” Sonoko said reluctantly.
"Thank you both so much for your help today." Polite Ran pulled Sonoko's hand and bowed to the two of them. Even the reluctant Shinichi Kudo was forced to bow to them by his childhood friend.
"It's alright, it's alright. Do you need a ride?" At this point, Akihara Kazuhiro suddenly remembered that they had both been drinking that evening. Ah, undercover police officers have criminal immunity, so drunk driving shouldn't be... um... a big problem, right?
"No need, don't worry, we can manage on our own." Sonoko waved to the two of them, and then the three children left the factory hand in hand—the difference being that Ran and Sonoko were holding hands, while Ran was pulling on Kudo, who kept looking back—and disappeared from their sight.
Akihara sighed, looking at Shinichi Kudo's current state, he could foresee why he'd get hit by a steel pipe later on. Thinking he's the protagonist and won't die, this kid's really reckless!
……
Together they tied up the men in black, then anonymously called the police. Akihara Kazumitsu and Morofushi Kagemitsu walked one after the other on the streets of Shinjuku.
"Is your goal really just to save those two children?" Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly asked, still not believing that the guys in the organization would be so kind.
Akihara, who was secretly overjoyed as he counted the points that had arrived in his account, kept a straight face. "Guess?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu hadn't expected him to answer the questions honestly anyway. He glanced up at the moonless sky, estimated the time in his mind, and planned to investigate this Su Dai when he got back. But unexpectedly, the person walking in front of him suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.
"how……"
Before Morifushi Kagemitsu could speak, the other man looked up and removed his mask. Like someone who had been diving for a long time returning to the surface, he let out a long breath. In the neon lights, the young man's face could be seen flickering in and out of the night.
"It's nothing, it's just really stuffy wearing this thing." Qiu Yuan casually waved his hand, causing the system to retract the mask and shoulder pads, and his whole body suddenly shrank back to its original size as if by magic.
"Scotch, let's reintroduce ourselves. I'm Su Dai." The young man's seemingly harmless face broke into a friendly smile, which, under the current lighting, only appeared eerie. "You were watching me the whole time at the bar, weren't you?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu did not answer; his face was grim, and his hand had already touched the handle of his gun.
While marveling at how well Morofushi Kagemitsu, disguised as a member of the Black Party, was behaving, he continued, "Relax, relax. I'm very grateful for your help tonight, but I'll need you to keep this a secret from the organization. As a reward—"
He suddenly changed his tone, as if reciting a script. "Arrest techniques are based on the traditional Japanese samurai code. They are a set of skills developed to arrest and control suspects and criminals caught in the act. The key is to suppress the other party without harming them while ensuring your own safety."
“You know what, Scotland, your fighting style is too formal.” His mischievous smile widened. He stepped forward and patted Morofushi Kagemitsu on the shoulder, whose body suddenly stiffened. “Be more careful next time.”
……
When the police, who arrived late after receiving the report, reached the scene, they found several men in black neatly tied up against the wall. As they were being escorted away, the men in black cried, knelt, and confessed, saying they had been blinded by money and had tried to kidnap Sonoko Suzuki, the heiress of the Suzuki Group, but were beaten to a pulp by two righteous men who appeared out of nowhere. They repeatedly promised they would never do it again.
When asked about their identities, the men in black said that the lighting was dim and they couldn't see very clearly. One of them was a young man with a slight beard wearing a hoodie, and the other was a burly man with a fierce face who didn't look like a good person.
"Ah, I remember now!" one of the men in black suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "They shouted 'FBI, open the door!' when they came in!"
The police officers in charge of the questioning exchanged glances and secretly blamed the FBI for the incident.
Shuichi Akai, who was still planning to join the organization, sneezed a thousand miles away.
