The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1396 Can't Perform the Leap of Faith? A Fake Assassin!

Everyone stared at the two people in front of them with suspicion.

However, the scenario of not being able to watch without paying did not occur.

Fujino simply changed into D's clothes, then put on a helmet and hood, instantly disguising himself as the other person.

Then, he coughed lightly, changing his voice as well:

"You guys, come with me to the restaurant!"

"Understand?"

"understand……"

Everyone nodded, immediately understanding Fujino's plan.

It wasn't some strange intention after all, but a scheme...

It was my own dirty thoughts that were the problem!

After a brief discussion, the group pretended to be threatened and followed the others to the restaurant.

In fact, the word "fear" was practically written all over their faces.

All I can say is that this group of people are truly skilled actors.

That's true, in a place like Mikasa, you really can't get by without some acting skills...

They're probably used to being frequented by gangs of thieves.

…………

Inside the restaurant, the bearded man from before was holding a pistol, while next to him stood a fully armed guy with a submachine gun.

They watched the group of people present with great interest.

He seemed to be enjoying the angry stares from everyone present.
At that moment, Fujino pushed a group of people in.

Guided by the gun barrels, a group of chefs obediently blended into the crowd.

The bearded man frowned at this moment, then picked up his walkie-talkie and called out, "CAT F CAT C, how are you doing?"

There was no reply from the other end of the walkie-talkie, only a long silence.

Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Are you calling your companion?"

"I'm sorry, I've already taken care of them."

"Nani?"

Upon hearing this, the bearded man frowned.

Clearly, no one expected such an unexpected event to occur.

He took a deep breath, as if he were making a decision.

The invading airship was carried out by a team of seven.

The two people who went to the airship's cockpit are now missing, as are the two people who went to the sky observation deck.

So, only the three of them remained, one of whom was the commander.

This situation is now extremely dangerous.

Before the battle even began, the losses had already exceeded half.

He thought quickly, glanced at the two people beside him, and then looked at everyone else present.

"CAT D, you stay here and keep an eye on them."

"learn……"

"Let's go and meet that woman."

The bearded man pondered for a moment before making his decision and leading the people beside him to the Sky Observation Deck.

In the room, only Fujino remained, holding a gun to suppress the situation.

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara was contacting Conan: "Hey, Edogawa, how's it going on your end?"

"I just hid those few..."

"Do you see Fujino? He's not with me."

"He went to stop those guys."

"What?! These people have already broken in..."

"I don't know, wait for me, I'll go check it out."

"Two people went to the Sky Observation Deck, and there seems to be someone there taking care of them..."

Ai Haibara was whispering to herself while holding her detective badge, hiding behind Professor Agasa's large frame. But before she could finish speaking, a woman with shoulder-length curly hair snatched the badge from her.

He then sneered, "Trying to play petty tricks here!"

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and realized that the waiter was actually one of the group.

The woman was clearly very unhappy to discover that Ai Haibara had been behaving dishonestly.

I raised my hand, wanting to teach her a lesson.

Just as he raised his hand, a gunshot rang out in the restaurant.

"boom!"

"Ah ah!"

A groan of pain rang out.

The bullet pierced her arm, splattering blood everywhere.

The screams belonged to the waitress.

As for the person who fired the shot, it was a member of the Red Siamese Cat, codenamed D.

For a moment, everyone looked quite puzzled.

No, you guys had a falling out, didn't you?
Before they could react, another pretty waitress with a ponytail rushed forward, kicked the woman to the ground, pinned her down, held her arms, and pulled out a handkerchief to press against her face.

She struggled for a while, whimpering, and then her whole body began to tremble slightly, as if she wanted to release but couldn't.

Finally, she was drugged and passed out.

Then, Kaito Kuroba, disguised as a pretty waitress, began to grope her body.

Then he pulled a pistol from his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect these waiters to all be imposters..."

As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at Suzuki Jirokichi: "Uncle Suzuki, your security is really quite good."

"You little brat... Kidd!"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi immediately recognized the person in front of him, and then revealed a resentful and displeased expression.

To this, Kaito Kuroba merely pursed his lips: "So, now's not the time for infighting, is it..."

"Shouldn't you have called the police and reported this immediately?"

As he spoke, he stroked his chin again: "However, given the current situation, these people have all been dealt with, so there's no need to continue."

As he spoke, he called out to Fujino, who was not far away, "Am I right?"

"Yes, it's almost resolved, and the bomb has been defused."

Fujino took off his helmet and mask. "However, I'm not quite sure about the situation upstairs."

"I just don't know if that person can take care of those two guys."

Kaito Kuroba looked puzzled upon hearing this: "She's not one of yours?"

"She's not one of my people..."

Fujino, somewhat speechless, retorted, feeling that the kid was really overthinking things.

My people? How come I don't know them?

The crowd was stunned when they saw the terrorist remove his hood and realize it was someone they knew.

No, how did you become a terrorist?

However, after thinking about it for a moment, they immediately realized that Fujino had dealt with the terrorist and then impersonated him.

Everyone was quite relieved.

After all, the real terrorists who just pointed guns at us were quite frightening.

...On the other side, the Sky Observation Deck.

The bearded man and his younger brother arrived here.

It's just a phased operation.

My brother had just arrived here in the elevator when a woman jumped out with two submachine guns, entered the elevator, pinned him to the ground, and smashed him on the head with a gun butt, leaving him unconscious.

Just as I finished doing all that, the bearded man appeared from behind with a submachine gun.

In an instant, as if sensing something, her eyes lit up, and she rolled to the side, dodging several bullets, before taking cover behind the bulletproof glass cabinet used to house the Sky Lady.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up two submachine guns and began blindly firing at the bearded man who was climbing up the ladder from the door, suppressing him relentlessly.

The submachine gun bullets were dense and roundsed up both sides of the door, turning them into sieves. If it weren't for the wall cover on both sides of the door, the enemy would probably have been riddled with bullets as well.

However, despite being a blind shot, not a single bullet hit the center of the door.

She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "Those airbags are behind the door. If they break, it'll be terrible. If I rush over, I could easily break them."

"There isn't a single piece of cover along the way. If we show our heads, we'll probably be riddled with bullets by the enemy."

"The restaurant and lounge are downstairs, and the elevator to the upper floors is right next to it. It's easy for innocent people to get hurt if they're not careful..."

"Damn it, this is really troublesome."

Just as her mind was racing, she was thinking rapidly.

The bearded man's gunshots suddenly stopped.

Instead, she heard a voice that sounded a bit cheeky and irritating.

"So, this is your style?"

"Imposter Miss?"

"Why are you using two submachine guns to go on a rampage?"

"What fine tradition?"

She peeked out and saw a man in a white robe with a bat mask on his face, pulling a long beard, slowly walking towards her.

She frowned, picked up two submachine guns, and stood up: "Why are you everywhere?"

"I should be the one saying that."

Xiao Hei tossed the bearded man aside, picked up the submachine gun from the ground and put it away, then looked at the other man and examined him carefully.

She was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, maybe even thirties. Xiao Hei thought that the age of women in the world of science fiction was the hardest thing to guess.

I'd guess it could be an older woman in her forties, fifties, or even sixties.

Well, after all, there's the precedent set by Aunt Vermouth.

This older woman had short black hair, and perhaps to improve visibility, the hair that had been covering half of her face was lifted up, giving her a cold and aloof appearance, which was quite a contrast to the way she had been fighting with two submachine guns earlier.

Xiao Hei withdrew his gaze and said helplessly, "I was the one who spotted this group first, okay?"

She didn't say much, but simply asked calmly, "So, are there any left that slipped through the net?"

Xiao Hei thought for a moment: "The detective took care of the people in the kitchen who were pretending to be their people and then took care of the woman who had infiltrated the passengers. I took care of the two in the control room, you took care of the two, and the remaining two are here."

"If we're talking about those who slipped through the net, it should be those four guys whose whereabouts are unknown, their inside man, and the mastermind behind this whole thing."

"Those four people are probably already off trying to steal the Buddha statue or something, but given the current situation, they won't be able to..."

"Looks like I'll have to work overtime after this to deal with those four guys."

As Xiao Hei spoke, he calmly continued, "As for those few inside agents, we'll leave them to that detective to handle."

"You really know a lot." She narrowed her eyes as she listened to these words. "It seems you've also obtained the information..."

"Same here." Xiao Hei chuckled. "But I'm quite curious, what are you doing on this airship all of a sudden?"

"For the virus."

She didn't say much, but explained, "Once the virus spreads, it will benefit no one. In fact, these guys are planning to use it to carry out terrorist attacks..."

"Then you can rest assured." Xiao Hei said casually, "Their viruses are all fake. As for those in the laboratory, they were destroyed along with the explosion long ago."

"How did you know?"

"Because I was there watching at the time."

"..."

She paused for a moment, unsure of what to say.

But that makes perfect sense.

No, can't you just treat it as killing them all?

It was going to be a false alarm, wasn't it...?

She had mixed feelings, and felt like she had been tricked.

Xiao Hei, however, noticed the key point at this moment: "However, you guys are really lacking in talent. You actually sent only you for this kind of thing."

"I can handle this on my own."

She said this calmly, and was then retorted by Xiao Hei: "You're stuck here with this bearded man and can't get out?"

“I’m waiting for that detective,” she explained. “With his abilities, it won’t be difficult for him to deal with these people. I just need to wait for him to finish and then come to my aid.”

Xiao Hei couldn't help but tease, "You really trust him, huh?"

She scoffed, "Even a famous detective is better than someone like you who doesn't know his origins but likes to pry into other people's affairs and play tricks on them, isn't he?"

"Alright, alright, let's get out of here."

Xiao Hei waved his hand, interrupting, "We're all in the same group. It's fine to use Wushuang when you're killing people, but to actually show off in public... don't tell me you don't have a plan to leave?"

"Of course."

"Oh, that's alright then. I was thinking of giving you a ride."

Xiao Hei walked slowly towards the elevator, picked up the submachine gun that was scattered next to the unconscious guy inside the elevator, and finally turned around to look at her: "By the way, um, would you mind giving me your submachine gun?"

"...?"

…………

The imposter lady hid a parachute inside the airship.

After taking a parachute pack from under the gangway, she hurried to the top of the airship.

Fujino naturally followed.

To be honest, he was quite curious about this group of people.

Every little bit helps to get more information out of them.

After thinking for a moment, he asked in confusion, "So, why are you still using a parachute? Isn't it the sea below?"

"...?"

Under her equally questioning gaze, Fujino continued, "You just jump straight down from here and tumble into the sea."

"..." She glanced down at the sea: "Won't I die?"

"can you?"

"..."

"They will definitely die."

She glanced at the guy next to her as if he were an idiot.

I just felt that this guy's thought process was a bit abnormal.

Airships nowadays fly at altitudes of several hundred to several thousand meters. Jumping from such a height and crashing into the sea is no different from crashing into concrete, right?
Jumping down would be pure suicide.

This time, it was Fujino's turn to be puzzled.

So, this person wouldn't even consider a leap of faith?
This isn't right...

In the end, Fujino's suspicions boiled down to one question: "You're not a fake assassin, are you?"

"what?"

"True assassins always jump directly."

After saying that, Xiao Hei took two steps forward and jumped down, intending to show this assassin who didn't even know how to do a Leap of Faith a thing or two.
