Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 159 Aftermath
After hearing Xiaolan's extremely vivid description, Conan and Maori Kogoro turned to look at Makino again, their eyes full of confusion.

Eyes glowing?

Xiaolan doesn't look like she's joking, does she?
Seeing her father and Conan looking confused, Xiaolan rubbed her eyes again, looked into Makino's eyes, and frowned slightly.

That light has... disappeared?

From the expressions of my father and the others, it can be seen that they did not seem to see the light in Brother Makino's eyes.

That’s right, how can human eyes glow?
It turned out that I had seen it wrong.

Maybe it’s because I spent too much time looking at the lights in the studio today…

Thinking of this, Xiaolan blushed and lowered her head and said, "Sorry, maybe I saw it wrong, but I always feel that the feeling you give people now seems to be different from before..."

Makino looked at Xiaolan, smiled and shook his head: "No need to apologize, maybe you are not wrong~"

After saying this, Makino also fell into deep thought.

He had already retracted his energy long after he dealt with Chianti and the others. Logically, Xiaolan should not have seen his "eyes shining" nor should she have noticed that his "aura" was different from before.

Could it be that because Xiaolan's physique and martial arts qualities are relatively strong, she can sense his remaining energy?
Or was it her intuition and luck that were far beyond ordinary people?

After all, judging from the puzzled expressions of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, they didn't see any "light" at all, nor did they notice any "difference in momentum" between themselves and before.

After hearing Makino's answer, Kogoro Mouri and Conan on the side just thought that Makino was just responding to Xiaolan and not wanting her to feel embarrassed.

Xiaolan frowned again and blinked in confusion.

……

same moment.

A Porsche 356A was driving near the Dongdu Ring Road.

After seeing a large number of police cars driving towards the park, Vodka started the car and left the vicinity of the park.

While driving, Vodka kept glancing at Gin beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Ever since he put down the walkie-talkie, Gin has remained silent and hasn't said a word.

Vodka really wanted to ask his elder brother what to do next, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to speak.

This was not the first time he had seen his elder brother angry. Especially in recent times, he felt that his elder brother seemed to be always wandering between "failure" and "anger".

But this seems to be the first time that the eldest brother has been silent for so long.

Just when Vodka was hesitating whether to ask, Belmode in the back seat took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and said, "Gin, are you planning to escape like this?"

Vodka: "?!!"

After hearing what Belmode said, Vodka's heart instantly rose to his throat.

Vermouth?!
It would be fine at other times, but don't you realize that Big Brother is not in a good mood right now? !
After hearing what Vermouth said, Gin looked up and glanced at Vermouth coldly in the rearview mirror without saying anything.

Vermouth didn't care about Gin's cold look at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Chianti and the others should have been caught by that police officer. What if the police find clues related to the organization from those two people?"

After two seconds of silence, Gin turned his eyes away from the rearview mirror and said slowly: "Don't worry about it. The police can't find any clues related to the organization from them."

"Since you said so, let's not talk about it anymore, but...what are you going to do next?" Vermouth looked at Gin curiously.

Hearing this, Vodka on the side also glanced at Gin, as if waiting for his brother's decision.

This plan can be said to be a complete failure.

Not only did they fail to eliminate the police officer, but they also lost two capable snipers, Chianti and Cohen.

Judging from the impact alone, this time the negative impact on the organization is even greater than the recent defection of "Yuan Jiaming".

After all, Chianti and Cohen are considered excellent snipers in the organization.

After losing them, their "combat effectiveness" dropped visibly.

After a moment of silence, Gin turned his head and looked out the window, his voice sounding a little cold: "Go back to the base, and contact Kiel first after everything is over."

"Okay, okay." Vodka nodded immediately.

After hearing Gin's decision, Vermouth turned his head to look out the window and stopped talking.

However, a hint of ambiguous smile flashed across her eyes.

……

Not long after, inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

Due to the assassination, the recording of the afternoon program came to an end.

Most of the staff of Nichimi TV were taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Inspector Megure for investigation and questioning. Kogoro Mori and others also followed Makino and the others to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After briefly questioning the staff of Nichimi Television, Inspector Megure asked everyone to leave at the signal of Makino and Chief Officer Odagiri.

Inside the Criminal Department Director's office.

After listening to the reports from Inspector Megure and Manager Matsumoto, Minister Odagiri asked the two to leave the office.

At this time, only Minister Odagiri and Makino were left in the office.

Seeing that Makino's expression and condition were almost exactly the same as before, Minister Odagiri sighed silently.

Even though something like that just happened, this kid can still be so calm.

After looking at Makino helplessly, Minister Odagiri shook his head and said, "Matsumoto and his team can't find any information about the two killers. It's as if they are 'invisible people'. It seems that your guess is correct. These two people should be members of that 'mysterious organization'.

Although there is no evidence, I suspect that they attacked you because of the case that happened in Beihu Hotel before! The two murderers you shot and injured at that time are likely to be members of this organization!"

Hearing this, Makino nodded.

As expected of Minister Odagiri, he was able to make a rough guess even without any evidence and knowing very little about the brewery.

If Inspector Megure had this level of ability, he would have been promoted to Superintendent long ago, right?
Seeing Makino nod, Minister Odagiri continued, "Their actions were obviously based on the knowledge that you accepted the interview with Nichimi TV. But the people who knew about this, in addition to the staff of Nichimi TV, also included... those people above."

At this point, Minister Odagiri's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Since they were able to set up a sniper position in advance on a high-rise building near the park and opened fire shortly after the recording of the program began, it means that the criminal knew for sure that Makino would be recording the program in the park.

Therefore, he initially suspected that there were accomplices of that organization among the employees of Nichimi TV, and the most likely suspects were the producer who proposed the "plan" and the senior leaders of Nichimi TV.

However, according to the investigation just now by Matsumoto and Megure, it seems that quite a few employees know that Makino and others will be recording a program in the park in the afternoon.

In the absence of evidence, it is difficult to narrow the scope of the investigation.

not to mention……

Although they didn't want to think about it, the people who knew that Makino was going to participate in the interview included not only the staff of Nichimi TV, but also the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department who recommended Makino to participate in the program. They might also know information about the recording location of the program. In addition, they did not find any useful clues from the two assassins. This assassination case seemed to have fallen into a "quagmire" before it was even solved.

Thinking of this, Minister Odagiri's expression became extremely serious: "From these three incidents, this mysterious organization is not only extremely large, but also they hardly leave any evidence every time they act.

Judging from the previous situation, those guys in the Security Bureau must know more detailed information. Makino, what are you going to do next? "

"..."

ten minutes later.

As soon as Makino walked out of the office, Kogoro Mori and others surrounded him.

"So Officer Makino, who are those two killers...?"

"Brother Makino, this matter..."

After briefly answering the questions of Maori Kogoro and the others, Makino looked down at the time and chuckled, "It's so late now, you must be hungry too, right? Mr. Maori, didn't you say we should have a drink together after the interview?"

"That's right! Officer Makino, I must have a few drinks with you tonight~" When he heard about drinking, Kogoro Mori immediately put the assassination matter behind him and accepted Makino's proposal with a smile.

"Dad?!" Xiaolan glared at Maori Kogoro angrily.
"Xiaolan, this is an agreement between us men! Besides, I think Officer Makino should be hungry. By the way, Officer Makino, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight?" Kogoro Mouri invited with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Conan on the side sighed helplessly.

This thing just happened, why do both Officer Makino and this unreliable uncle act as if nothing happened?
and……

According to his investigation and Officer Makino's explanation just now, if nothing unexpected happens, it was those guys who assassinated Officer Makino!

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Makino with a serious expression.

He didn't think those guys would just give up after the assassination failed.

Now that Officer Makino has entered their sight, they will definitely carry out similar assassination operations!

……

Two hours later.

At the organization's base in Haido Town.

Gin and the other two looked at the wine glasses in their hands, thinking while waiting for Gil to arrive.

After calming down, he carefully recalled and analyzed the whole incident, and always felt that something was wrong.

At first, he suspected that there was a traitor in the group, and that Officer Makino knew about the "assassination" in advance, so the operation failed and Chianti and the other man were caught.

Apart from the three of them who had been in the car, only Kiel knew the specific content of the operation.

Vodka and Vermouth were always in his sight, so he had no time or opportunity to spread the assassination plan.

Moreover, although he had a lot of opinions about Vodka and Vermouth, he also knew that the possibility of these two people betraying the organization was extremely low.

Therefore, Kiel naturally became his main suspect.

Could it be that... that guy has reached a cooperation with the Metropolitan Police Department?
However, after carefully thinking about the situation at the time, Gin felt that the possibility of this guess was very low.

Chianti and Cohen never contacted him, which shows that nothing went as planned before they started shooting.

That police officer must have been in the park at the time.

After all, if he wasn't there, Chianti and the others would have definitely noticed something was wrong and reported it to him directly.

According to subsequent investigations, Chianti and his men did fire shots, and one of the shots accurately hit the TV station's camera.

This at least proves that the police officer was indeed in the park at that time.

But what's strange is that since they had already opened fire, why was Officer Makino okay?

Moreover, if Kiel was really a traitor, she would not have called him to report it at that time.

He remembered that what Kil said on the phone was "the target suddenly disappeared."

——“Click”

Just then, there was a crisp sound of a door opening, and Kiel opened the door and walked into the room.

After seeing Gil, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her, and the suspicion in Gin's eyes instantly faded a lot.

Since Kiel still dared to come, it meant that the possibility that she was a traitor was very low.

If she really had reached a cooperation with the Metropolitan Police Department, or even Officer Makino, she would have escaped by now and would not have obeyed his orders and gathered at the base.

Even so, Gin still looked at Gil with suspicion and asked coldly: "What happened at that time?"

Hearing this, Kiel frowned and said, "The interview started smoothly, and everything went according to plan. After I led the policeman to the designated shooting location, Chianti and his men opened fire directly, but..."

"But what?"

"The policeman didn't seem to be shot, and he even disappeared from my sight..." When he said this, Kil's eyes were full of surprise and confusion.

Just when she thought Makino had been shot, she discovered that Makino had completely disappeared.

The next time she saw Makino, he had just dealt with Chianti and Cohen and returned to the park unharmed.

To be honest, she had no idea what was going on.

After listening to Kiel's explanation, the expressions of Gin and the others also became extremely interesting.

What Kil described was basically the same as what they knew. There seemed to be no problem with the plan at the time, and Chianti and the other man had indeed opened fire.

Because this matter sounded so ridiculous, there was once again less suspicion in Gin's eyes when he looked at Gil.

As long as Kiel was in his right mind, he would not tell such an outrageous lie.

This also indirectly proves the reliability of what Kil said.

Judging from the intelligence and information currently known, there seems to be no "problems" with either Kiel, Chianti or Cohen, and the assassination plan seems to be going very smoothly.

But...suddenly disappeared?
With Chianti and Cohen's strength, since they have already fired, there is no way they will miss!
If what Kiel said was true, then that policeman not only dodged the sniper's bullet, but also locked onto Chianti and the others' position through the bullet's trajectory, and then went over and killed them both? !

This……

After a long silence, Gin looked down at the empty wine glass, and a hint of shock appeared on his usually cold face.

At this point, it seems likely that the problem lies with the officer.

If I remember correctly, that guy seemed to have dodged his bullet last time.

The only difference is that last time it was a pistol, and this time... it's a sniper rifle!
