Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 166 Warm reminder
"Drug smuggler?!" Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.

Officer Sato nodded and said, "That's right. We originally wanted to catch him directly in Tokyo after the arrest warrant was issued, but this cunning guy seemed to have heard something and escaped in advance. So we could only ambush him in his hometown of Kansai, and then we caught him."

After finishing speaking, Officer Sato turned to look at Makino and said softly, "Counselor Makino, after what just happened, is it really okay for you to appear in such a public place?"

Officer Takagi also looked at Makino, his eyes full of worry.

In order to avoid any accidents and to prevent the rampant spread of public opinion, the assassination was eventually concealed by Counselor Makino and the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But the assassination did happen in reality.

Although the two killers have died, they have not yet found out the person behind the scenes who ordered them to do so!

In this case, if the person behind the scenes strikes again...

Before the two of them could think about it, Makino chuckled and said, "Don't worry, that method won't work on me. Besides, isn't Mr. Maori right next to me? With the famous detective here, those guys won't be able to succeed~"

Maori Kogoro looked at Makino beside him with mixed emotions: "Makino..."

I didn’t expect Officer Makino to trust me so much!

Good! In that case, even if it means risking my reputation as a famous detective, I will never let anything happen to Officer Makino!

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro's eyes immediately became much sharper: "Don't worry! With me, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, here, there will be no problems! !"

Hearing this, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi looked at Kogoro Mori, nodded, and temporarily dropped the topic.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Makino and Maori Kogoro left.

The smuggler Chizo Ogura looked at Makino's back with flickering eyes.

He wanted to ask the two police officers escorting him to buy him a hot drink, and then try to escape by pouring the hot drink on them.

But if he heard correctly, the two police officers escorting him seemed to call the young man "Counselor".

Although he didn't know what specific position this was, judging from the respectful attitude of the two police officers escorting him towards the young man, the young man's identity and status were probably very high!
If he could find a way to hold this "counselor" hostage...

Although he felt that the young man looked familiar and he seemed to have seen him somewhere, it didn't matter at all at this point.

Thinking of this, an evil smile flashed across Chizo Ogura's mouth.

……

Shortly after.

While drinking the coffee in the cup, Makino observed Kogoro Mori opposite him with his peripheral vision.

Ever since the conversation just now, Kogoro Mouri has been constantly turning his head to observe the passengers around him, apparently helping him observe whether there are any "suspicious people" nearby.

Xiaolan also noticed something strange about Kogoro Mouri, but neither of them cared.

Compared to approaching the pretty female flight attendant, this actually saved her a lot of trouble.

Two seconds later, Makino looked at the nervous Maori Kogoro and said, "Mr. Maori, don't be so nervous. After the failure of the last operation, I don't think they will do something similar again in the short term."

Maori Kogoro shook his head and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me! As a famous detective, I will ensure your safety!"

Hearing this, Makino felt helpless but also a little moved.

In any case, Kogoro Mori was indeed helping in his own way.

At this moment, Makino and his companions suddenly noticed that something seemed to have happened on Officer Takagi's side.

A female flight attendant was saying something to Officer Takagi and the others with a nervous look on her face.

After a moment, Officer Takagi quickly walked over to Makino and explained the current situation in a low voice.

After hearing what Officer Takagi said, the expressions of Kogoro Mori and others immediately became extremely solemn.

According to the attendant just now, a passenger seemed to have found a backpack containing a bomb in the restroom of the rear carriage, and the sound of the bomb's timing could be faintly heard from inside.

Under everyone's gaze, Makino looked at Officer Takagi and said slowly, "This should have been done by the drug dealer's accomplice. He wanted to take the opportunity to divert your attention."

"Divert attention?" Officer Takagi frowned.

"Well, the bomb should be fake. His purpose in doing this is to divert your and Officer Sato's attention." Makino nodded.

After finishing speaking, Makino stood up and said, "Takagi, go back to your seats and watch over the drug dealer with Officer Sato. I'll go check out the bomb."

Officer Takagi looked at Makino worriedly and said, "Yes... uh, that... Counselor, why don't I go check the bomb, and you and Officer Sato..."

Maori Kogoro on the side also said: "Yes, Makino, why don't I go with Takagi, just in case the bomb is specifically for..."

Although neither of them finished their words, Makino and the others understood what they meant.

Makino shook his head and said, "No need. Even if the bomb is real, I can defuse it on the spot. Besides, this is most likely just a plot by the drug dealer's accomplices."

At this point, Makino turned to look at Maori Kogoro and said, "Mr. Maori, please help Takagi and the others keep an eye on the drug dealer. Don't let him leave his seat before I come back."

Seeing how serious Makino was, Officer Takagi and Kogoro Mori stopped talking and nodded to accept Makino's arrangement.

Ten seconds later, Makino was led by the flight attendant to the bathroom in the rear compartment.

The moment he saw the backpack with the words "Explosive bomb inside, do not touch" on it, Makino laughed and shook his head.

The next moment, under the horrified gazes of the flight attendants and the surrounding passengers, Makino directly unzipped his backpack and took out the alarm clock inside: "Okay, don't worry, everyone, it looks like this is just someone's prank~"

After seeing the alarm clock in Makino's hand, the flight attendants and passengers surrounding him breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they couldn't help but start to curse and complain about the nasty guy who had pulled this prank.

Just as the flight attendant was about to thank Makino and ask what to do next, he suddenly discovered that Makino and the backpack in the bathroom had disappeared.

……

same moment.

Sato looked at Takagi beside him, frowned and said, "Takagi, why don't I go and take a look!"

Gao Mu glanced at the drug dealer beside him, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and said, "Officer Sato, please check your phone first."

Seeing this, Sato immediately glanced at the drug dealer next to him, immediately understood what Officer Takagi meant, and quickly took out his cell phone.

Before Officer Takagi finished editing the text message, three men of different heights suddenly passed by Officer Takagi and his friends. When Ogura Chizo saw one of the men, his eyes lit up instantly.

At this moment, a voice mixed with a hint of laughter suddenly sounded: "It seems to be you~"

After hearing this familiar voice, Officers Sato and Takagi immediately turned around and looked behind them.

--"boom!"

As the two men looked at him in surprise, Makino suddenly knocked out one of the men in a sky blue shirt and put him on the empty seat next to him.

After noticing the commotion here, Kogoro Mori and others in the front seat immediately rushed over.

As drug dealer Chizo Ogura looked at him in shock, Makino smiled and said, "Okay, your accomplice has been arrested, so don't have any more tricks. Just come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us."

Chizo Ogura: “!!!”

Not long after, Sato and Takagi found two knives, one real and one fake, as well as a bag of plasma and two almost identical newspapers on the man who was knocked unconscious by Makino.

It was not until this moment that everyone finally understood what had happened and why Makino was so sure that the bomb was fake.

The bomb was probably set by an accomplice of the drug dealer who was knocked unconscious by Makino.

His purpose was to divert their attention and thus convey a message to Chizo Ogura through the headlines in the newspapers.

At this moment, Officer Takagi asked in confusion: "Counselor, if this man wanted to help Chizo Ogura escape, then why did he prepare two knives, one real and one fake?"

Officer Sato added: "Yes, and there are these two almost identical newspapers..."

Hearing this, Makino looked at Ogura Chizo and chuckled, "Mr. Ogura, can't you really guess why your 'accomplice' brought these extra things?"

After thinking for a moment, Chizo Ogura turned his head stiffly and looked at his unconscious accomplice, his eyes full of fear and anger.

Having lived in this "circle" for such a long time, he naturally understood what Makino wanted to express.

At this time, Conan on the side also said: "Because this uncle's accomplice actually didn't want to help him escape, but just wanted to take the opportunity to kill him."

After hearing Conan's words, Officer Sato and others turned to look at Chizo Ogura with serious expressions.

At present, it seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense.

After noticing Chizo Ogura's expression, Makino spoke again: "Mr. Ogura, you should have understood it completely, right? Except for us police officers, no one wants to save your life now. Even if you can escape from us, you will not have a good ending."

Ogura Chizo was silent for two seconds, closed his eyes and said: "I understand, I will tell you everything I know..."

Seeing this, Sato and Takagi immediately looked at Makino, with admiration and gratitude in their eyes.

If Counselor Makino hadn't discovered it in advance and knocked out the drug dealer's accomplice...

If Chizo Ogura, whom they were responsible for escorting, escaped or died, the two of them would definitely be severely punished, with the worst possible punishment being a pay cut or suspension, or even direct dismissal.

Makino glanced at Sato and Takagi, chuckled and patted their shoulders: "Once you get clues about drug sales and transportation from them, you two will have made a great contribution. Maybe you will be promoted soon~"

Sato and Takagi looked at each other in confusion and touched the back of their heads embarrassedly.

Kogoro Mori, who was standing by, guessed something. He looked at Takagi and Sato with envy, and secretly sighed that it would have been great if he had a boss like Makino when he was in office.

……

After the train arrived at the station, Makino said goodbye to Kogoro Mori and Sato and others, and took a taxi to leave Beika Station.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Makino saw the Haibara sisters coming back from shopping.

After seeing Makino, Huihara Yuki immediately came forward with Xiao Ai to say hello: "Mr. Makino, I don't think I have seen you these days. It's been a long time since we had a meal together. It just so happens that I bought enough ingredients today. How about trying the new dish I learned?"

Hearing this, Makino smiled and nodded, accepting Huihara Yuki's proposal.

He had originally planned to talk to the Haibara sisters after dinner. This was perfect because he didn't have to think about what to eat in the evening.

A few minutes later, at Makino's house.

Haibara Yuki was cooking in the kitchen, while Makino and Haibara Ai were watching TV on the sofa.

Looking at the sad-looking Huihara Ai, Makino laughed and said, "Looking at your expression, could it be that your sister has decided to let you go to school?"

After hearing the word "school", Huibara Ai nodded silently, and the light in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.

Seeing this, Makino smiled and shook his head, changing the subject: "How is the drug research going?"

Huihara Ai said slowly: "It went smoothly... By the way, the 'white dry' you mentioned earlier does seem to have a certain effect on cells. Maybe we can use this phenomenon to make a temporary 'antidote'."

"Really? Then there is some significance for you to go to elementary school~" Makino nodded silently.

"What do you mean?" Huibara Ai frowned.

Makino blinked and chuckled, "Have you forgotten that Kudo is also in elementary school?"

Hearing this, Huiyuan Ai's eyes lit up and she instantly understood what Makino meant: "Wait, you mean... let him be the experimenter?"

A strange light flashed in Makino's eyes: "Of course, whether it is to test the drug you are researching or the antidote for APTX, we need a brave guinea pig who is willing to step forward, right?
You don't need to reveal your identity. Once you have achieved certain results, I can just find a reason to give him the medicine. You can go to school while you observe his physical condition and adverse reactions after taking the medicine."

Hearing this, Huiyuan Ai narrowed her eyes and looked at Makino: "Isn't he your neighbor's son? Aren't you afraid that something will happen to him?"

Makino narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, if someone else tried the drug, something might go wrong. But he shouldn't~"

"Oh, really? Lord Makino, you really have a bad heart~" Haibara Ai smiled with narrowed eyes.

"No, no, how can I compare to you, Master Haibara~"

"..."

At this point, Makino and the others have completely clarified Conan's identity and status as a "guinea pig".

The next second, Makino asked the question he wanted to ask today: "Ai, Vermouth's body and appearance have not changed in all these years. But her situation is different from yours. She 'stopped growing', while you 'became smaller'."

After hearing this familiar name, Huihara Ai's expression became noticeably more serious: "She... Although I don't know the details, I think her physical condition has nothing to do with APTX-4869. In addition to this drug, the organization seems to have been conducting other experiments and research since many years ago, but I have only heard about it and don't know the details."

After finishing speaking, Huiyuan Ai turned to look at Makino and frowned, "Wait, why did you suddenly mention her? You didn't meet her, did you?"
