Chapter 389 Return of the Hero

On the coast, the police set up a cordon, a small team of firefighters were on standby, and medical staff and ambulances were ready at all times.

In the sea, several speedboats cut through the waves, facing the sea breeze, galloping back and forth on the sea surface to search.

Even outside the cordon, reporters with long guns and short guns have gathered. This situation is no less than the scene of a major case.

And all of this is due to the huge influence of Maori Kogoro and the reputation of Eri Kisaki as the "Queen of Law".

There is no doubt that this is not only an ordinary rescue operation, but also a topical national news.

Maori Kogoro's family of three is nervously looking forward to it on the beach. At this moment, there are no tourists or related personnel here except them.

The police officer on the beach is not an ordinary person, but Maori Kogoro's old friend, Megure Jusan.

Well, Maori Kogoro and Conan have each activated their own skills and networks, otherwise they would not cause such a big battle just by reputation.

Unfortunately, the strength of the First Investigation Division is still somewhat unsatisfactory. If it were the Second Investigation Division, there might be a few more police helicopters on the sea at this moment.

Of course, it’s not that there are none, but the dispatch order and execution of the First Investigation Division are relatively average. After such a while, the helicopter is still on the way.

"Brother Maori..."

Officer Megure looked at the sea with a solemn look in his eyes, pulled the brim of his hat, and didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was very clear.

And the police officers on the side also consciously or unconsciously looked at Maori Kogoro next to Officer Megure.

Maori Kogoro had a serious face and hugged Xiaolan. Others could not see his sadness or joy, but they could all replace his role.

Facing the sea breeze, his thin shirt rustled, and his eyes swept over the sea again and again. If it weren’t for Xiaolan here, he would have joined the search and rescue personnel long ago.

Although they have been separated for more than ten years, Maori Kogoro still did not forget his responsibilities as a husband and father at this critical moment.

"Eri, please don't be in trouble. Xiaolan is still waiting for you."

"Mom...Mom..."

Xiaolan wiped her tears helplessly, sobbing, and her voice was hoarse.

She never thought that she would hear such bad news as soon as she turned around.

Conan clenched his fists and his heart was in his throat.

He also couldn't think that such a thing would happen under the care of Shimizu Koji.

It can only be said that things are unpredictable.

Time passed by, the sea was turbulent, the climate was unpredictable, and soon, the clouds gathered, and the sky darkened instantly.

There is no doubt that this will make the search and rescue operation more difficult.

The faces of the people on the shore also became ugly, Xiaolan felt more desperate, and Maori Kogoro said nothing, but couldn't help sighing and becoming depressed.

A strong emotional fluctuation appeared in his heart for a long time, and his eyes were soaked.

There were no criminals or suspects, just the endless sea. How could people not feel despair?

Just as everyone was looking at Officer Megure helplessly and ordering to suspend the rescue operation, a strong noise suddenly broke out in the crowd outside the cordon.

Everyone turned around after hearing the sound, curious, confused, serious, dull, each with their own mood.

But the next moment, the shouts from the crowd made their faces change.

"Is it Lawyer Hime!?"

"It's Lawyer Hime!!"

The reporters swarmed in, each more excited than Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan, because they didn't expect that they could get the first-hand explosive news while being separated from the cordon.

After a moment of shock, Officer Megure quickly ordered the police to help clear the way. Several people hurriedly ran outside the cordon, and they had no time to think about what was going on.

Xiaolan was so excited that she almost pulled Maori Kogoro into a split.

Soon, they saw Shimizu Koji and Kisaki Eri, who were surrounded by guns and flashlights.

Shimizu Koji was also a little confused at this moment. What was going on?

He was still holding someone...

Although Kisaki Eri was breathing in the sea with him, she still didn't have much strength to move on her own until now. Shimizu Koji wanted to send her to the hospital for a check-up. He saw the blue and red lights of the ambulance flashing from a distance, so he walked over with Kisaki Eri in his arms.

But he didn't know who shouted at him, and he was surrounded by people before he even got there.

Kisaki Eri hugged Shimizu Koji's neck, and was even more surprised and embarrassed.

This didn't give her a chance to react, and she was surrounded by the crowd in an instant.

"Hurry, put me down."

"Is it okay?"

Shimizu Koji asked in a low voice, and he also saw Maori Kogoro and Inspector Megure and others walking in the crowd.

He thought for a moment and roughly understood the whole story.

"Sir! Sir! How did you save Lawyer Fei?"

"Lawyer Fei, what is your relationship with the young man next to you?!"

…

…

People like reporters are either human or dogs.

Under normal circumstances, Shimizu Koji would not mind these gossiping reporters, but now, with a murderous cold look, the nosy reporter was frightened and his face turned pale, and he stepped back repeatedly.

And then, he was hugged away by the rushing Officer Megure, and a large number of black-clad police officers also hurried over to take over the scene.

But inevitably, the photo of Shimizu Koji holding the beautiful Kisaki Eri out of the water will most likely be on the front page of major news tomorrow.

Kisaki Eri struggled to stand on the ground with the help of Shimizu Koji. Her face was a little pale due to the sea water, and therefore, the blush on her face was also very clear.

Because after getting ashore, Shimizu Koji also specially came to "pass the air" and blatantly tested her bottom line. She did not refuse, and she was surrounded by this group of people before she had time to say anything.

"Mom!"

Xiaolan cried and rushed over with tears in her eyes.

Eri Kisaki was a little shy and embarrassed at first, but when Xiaolan called out "Mom", she instantly felt distressed and her mother's tenderness.

"Xiaolan!"

"Don't cry, Xiaolan, Mom is fine, Mom is fine."

"Mom--woo!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other, and Eri Kisaki stood up without relying on Shimizu Koji's support. Shimizu Koji was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. He smiled faintly.

"Uncle Maori, Conan, Inspector Megure."

Nodding and greeting each other, no one chose to disturb the touching moment of mother and daughter reuniting after the disaster.

Even Maori Kogoro, the father and husband, did not.

Shimizu Koji didn't say much. He touched Conan's head and explained softly: "I was just walking nearby and saw Aunt Eri being swept away by the sea, so I rushed over to save her."

"After that, we were sent to the other side of the coast by the sea and rested for a while in a reef cave..."

Shimizu Koji told the abridged version of the story. He said it simply, but everyone present could understand the danger behind these plain words.

Mouri Kogoro listened with a solemn face. Unconsciously, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it silently.

This was also the first time he smoked after waking up from solving the case. The long-lost nicotine smell made people feel relaxed.

He glanced at Kisaki Eri who was hugging Xiaolan tightly, and did not choose to go forward.

He looked at Shimizu Koji deeply again, and for a while his heart was even more mixed, but no one knew it.

"Thank you, Koji"

"Nothing, it should be done."

"Brother Shimizu, good job!"

"Inspector Megure is too kind..."
