Chapter 972 Accept the Challenge

In the original plot, the prisoner this time was just one step ahead of Mouri Kogoro and the others, but this time Xu Yue explained the problem in advance and naturally allowed Mouri Kogoro and Dr. Ogawa to come to the murderer at the same time.

"Yuta!"

"stop!"

Looking at their son and the middle-aged man behind him who had already raised the knife, both Mouri Kogoro and Dr. Ogawa couldn't help shouting.

Just because of their appearance, the murderer obviously became more anxious and directly raised the butcher knife in his hand.

With Conan and Xiaolan following behind, they reached the top of the river bank. Looking at what was happening on the lawn below, Xu Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Originally, in the original work, Conan happened to find a football and kicked it, knocking away the opponent's knife, but this time it seemed that it was too late.

He also said that he wanted Conan to show off his skills in front of Xiaolan and himself.

But it doesn't matter, the previous factors are enough.

While thinking of this, Xu Yue casually pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger without even taking aim.

Bang~

The blade hit by the bullet directly shook the middle-aged man's hand away, then bounced away and fell to the ground.

At this time, everyone nearby screamed in terror at the sound of gunfire.

Japan is also a country with very strict gun control.

Xiaolan and Conan, who were following Xu Yue, were also surprised.

Especially Conan, from such a long distance, the opponent could use a pistol to shoot, and he was able to accurately hit the target with such a small blade and knock the weapon away!

Judging from his casual expression and nonchalant look, he is definitely no ordinary policeman with his shooting skills!

The huge gunshots frightened Yongta, and the prisoner who was originally moved by Yongta and gave up the plan, but was finally forgiven, no longer dared to move.

He was pointed at by a gun!

If you move again, you will die, okay!

In this situation,

In addition to the direct use of a gun, the prisoner was also arrested by the police.

But somewhat surprisingly, Dr. Ogawa and Yuta still chose to forgive him!

After obtaining the victim's forgiveness, there is no doubt that the sentence can be reduced.

"Brother Sato, you have done something good again this time."

There were shootings and kidnappings with knives. There was no doubt that it was Officer Memu's turn to take action. After briefly understanding the situation at the scene, he came to Xu Yue with a look of emotion on his face.

"No, it's just a coincidence."

Xu Yue was still smiling when facing Officer Mumu, and after Officer Mumu looked at Xu Yue and Xiaolan, he also showed a look of realization on his face.

"Well, I won't disturb you anymore. Just have the transcript of the scene. Nothing will happen without you."

As he finished speaking, he pressed the brim of his hat and waved to leave, as if he didn't want to disturb the two of them.

Xiaolan, who seemed to understand, couldn't help but blush, and Conan, who was being carried by Xu Yue, went crazy, and seemed to want to get down with all his teeth and claws.

"Hey, are you jealous?"

It's a pity that Conan's image of claws and teeth was frozen into a popsicle by Xu Yue's faint words, and then he felt Xiaolan's murderous gaze behind him.

It's over, it's over!

"How can a little brat imitate an adult? Even if your brother Shinichi asks you to protect Xiaolan, it's not like this."

Then Xu Yue's words made Xiaolan and Conan look stunned at the same time.

"Shinichi? What's wrong with Shinichi? Do you know him?"

Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, he is a famous detective after all. He has helped us a lot in the police community. We are good friends. We just met two days ago. It seems that we are working on a big and highly confidential case recently."

Xu Yue talked nonsense seriously.

"A big case with high confidentiality?"

"Yeah, so I can't even make phone calls during this period, but I'll probably call you as soon as the case is over."

Xu Yue and Xiaolan were chatting casually there, causing Conan, who was being carried by him, to have a wry smile on his face.

Xiaolan could indeed find a way to fool him and get through it, but it would probably be difficult for a policeman whose reasoning ability was not as good as her own.

However, after hearing that Xu Yue agreed to Xiaolan's invitation and went to the Maori Office as a guest, Conan's heart was moved.

It seems there is still a chance!

…

"I'm back."

After going out for a while on the pretext of playing football, Conan returned to the Mori Office.

Looking at Officer Sato who was chatting and laughing with Xiaolan over there, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but I should be able to hide it! After all, he has no actual evidence!

For a moment, he inexplicably thought of what the other party said to him.

'It is not necessary to provide clear evidence for everything. At the beginning, you only need to doubt and find the problem, and then move in this direction...'

It is true to say that, but now I give you a practical evidence that I am not Shinichi, which will definitely dispel your doubts!

Jingle bell bell~

The phone rang. Xiaolan apologized to Xu Yue and got up to answer it. Then she was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Shinichi's call!

Originally, even if Xu Yue helped smooth things over, she was still doubting Conan, but now, it seemed that she was too neurotic and overthinking.

Conan is obviously a little kid who likes reasoning, right? It seems normal that Shinichi's relative has this kind of hobby.

After Xiaolan started chatting with Dr. Ali on the phone, Xu Yue appeared behind Conan again, suddenly grabbed him from the sofa, and then said into his ear

"Who are you asking for help? Let me think about it. It's Dr. Ali, right? It's probably some kind of voice-changing tool. But it's incredible. They can develop a pill that makes people smaller and they can also develop such a convenient voice-changing tool. Qi, he is really a capable doctor..."

Those playful words and the warm breath in his ears made Conan's hair stand on end.

No, you still doubt me? !

"Ahaha~ Brother Sato is really good at joking. Where is the medicine that can turn you into a child?"

Conan shamelessly acted cute, and then tried to fool him.

Anyway, you have no evidence, so I just don’t admit it!

Now that Xiaolan has just had a phone call with 'Xinyi', it's useless even if you tell her the truth.

"Oh, then I think Miss Xiaolan is very cute. It doesn't matter to you that I'm going to chase her."

Xu Yue's words made Conan stunned, but he still chose to believe in the relationship between the two.

We have only known each other for a few days, but you actually want to challenge our childhood sweetheart of more than ten years...

"But Sister Xiaolan already has someone she likes."

"It's okay. I'm not married. I'll show you my skills today..."

Then Xu Yue put Conan down with a smile that made Conan feel scared.

"Xiaolan, please continue to make phone calls and let me use your kitchen..."

…

"...That's what happened. If the man in black knew that I was not dead, the lives of those who knew about it would be in danger."

In the room, Conan knelt down in front of Xu Yue and poured out everything that happened like spitting beans. Then he raised his head and stared at Xu Yue who was sitting cross-legged in front of him with his pitiful big eyes. He looked aggrieved. of.

"Oh, is there such an organization? Their methods make me feel a little familiar."

Xu Yue frowned and said, seeming to be recalling something.

Conan also had an expression on his face, and then asked

"Really? But with their methods, they shouldn't leave any traces. They are always very careful in everything they do, but if you are the one, you might find something. Where and when?"

"Well, it's not a case I have experienced. I just said that the modus operandi is somewhat similar to some of the backlogged case files I have. Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to check it for you. You can stay here with peace of mind."

Xu Yue pressed Conan's little head, making him sit down again a little depressed.

"It's useless. Ordinary police officers may not be able to do anything with them. They may alert others and compromise the safety of your colleagues."

"Eh? Didn't I tell you?"

Xu Yue looked at Conan's depressed look and couldn't help but smile.

"Let me introduce myself again, Sato Yue, the head of the Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department and the top person in charge of anti-terrorism and anti-assassination work."

Conan: (⊙﹏⊙)!
