Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 267 Where did this monster come from? !
Outside the Shinta City Police Station, the sun is about to set.

Nao Takiguchi confessed on the spot and admitted to the crime she had committed, so the case was quickly closed.

Unlike when they came, Xiaolan and the Junior Detective Team were obviously in a very low mood, even a little dispirited.

Although they often encounter murders, the victims and criminals in most cases do not have much interaction with them, and they may not even know each other, so their emotions naturally do not fluctuate too much.

But this time it's different.

Before the incident happened, Xiaolan and her friends were warmly entertained by the Takiguchi couple and had a pleasant time.

The Takiguchi couple naturally left a very good impression on them.

But now, the goodwill and beautiful impression in everyone's hearts have been completely destroyed with the emergence of this case.

No wonder Mitsuhiko had previously expressed the feeling that “the adult world is so scary”.

Not long after, Makino walked to the front of the car and helped Ayako open the passenger door.

After Ayako got in the car, Makino turned to look at Xiaolan and the others and said, "We are going back to Mihua. Do you want to go back with us?"

Without waiting for Xiaolan to speak, the "yacht consultant" Noguchi Ikki, who had been waiting for Makino and others outside the police station, took the initiative to speak and took on the task of sending everyone back to Beihua.

Conan also got into Noguchi Ikki's car with the help of Ayumi and the other two.

Seeing this, Xiaolan was no longer polite. She nodded, thanked him, and got into Makino's car.

Soon after, on the highway leading to Beika Town.

After noticing that Xiaolan's mood did not seem to have improved, Ayako reached out and touched Makino's arm, signaling to Makino with her eyes.

Makino glanced at Xiaolan in the rearview mirror and said, "Xiaolan, are you still thinking about the case just now?"

Xiaolan nodded and said in a low voice: "Well, at lunch, Miss Nayang and her husband were getting along so well, like a perfect couple..."

Makino did not directly answer Xiaolan's "question", but asked back: "Xiaolan, why do you think Ms. Nao just admitted her crime directly?"

Xiaolan looked up at Makino, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Isn't it because you, Brother Makino, found evidence that she committed the crime?"

Makino shook his head. "Evidence? I did ask Officer Nagai to investigate the swimming pool at her home, but in the final analysis, this cannot be evidence."

Hearing this, not only did Xiaolan show a look of confusion on her face, but even Ayako beside her turned her head curiously to look at Makino.

Under the gaze of the two, Makino explained: "Ms. Nao could think of such a method of committing a crime, so how could she keep the water in the swimming pool waiting for the police to send someone to test it?

Moreover, even if she didn’t clean the pool, there was no guarantee that the police would be able to find any evidence from it. In other words, as long as she didn’t admit what she had done, she would probably be able to get through the police investigation without incident.”

Hearing this, Xiaolan frowned slightly.

Brother Makino is right. Since the police haven't found anything from the swimming pool, this cannot be considered as evidence.

Makino looked up at Xiaolan in the rearview mirror and continued, "Ms. Nao took the initiative to admit it, not only because of her 'guilty conscience', but also because of a more important reason...

Xiaolan, your mother is a lawyer. How do you think this case will be judged in court?

Hearing this, Ayako immediately understood something and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiaolan suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Makino in shock.

Both of them understood what Makino meant by these words.

This case is different from ordinary murder cases. The victim, Mr. Takiguchi, was not "directly killed" by Ms. Nao.

Even if the evidence in the swimming pool was discovered, Ms. Nao could use methods such as "silence" or "she did this to regain her husband's confidence" to minimize her guilt.

If she hires a good lawyer...

Thinking of this, Xiaolan's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind - 'It's better not to let Conan and those kids know about this.'

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a simple sentence like “The adult world is really scary.”

Noticing that the atmosphere seemed a little depressing, Makino continued, "Of course, it is not ruled out that Miss Nao will publicly admit her crime in court, sincerely regret it and atone for it. By the way, why didn't I see Mr. Maori today?"

--"ah!!!"

As soon as Makino finished speaking, Xiaolan screamed instantly. In order to avoid affecting Makino's driving, she quickly covered her mouth.

Under the puzzled gazes of Makino and Ayako, Xiaolan blushed and said, "Well, that... Too many things happened today... Dad might still be sleeping on the beach..."

Makino, Ayako: “?”

Makino glanced at the highway exit in front of him called "Yika-cho" and silently mourned for Kogoro Mori for half a second in his heart.

Coincidentally, Xiaolan's cell phone suddenly rang at this moment.

After seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, Xiaolan answered the call with a blushing face.

The moment the phone was picked up, a roar reached the ears of everyone in the car:

——"Xiaolan! Where are you now?!!"

"..."

On the other side, in the middle of the Ginza intersection.

Four bodyguards in black uniforms surrounded a small booth, watching the people around them vigilantly.

On the booth was the jeweled shoes, the bait that Jiro Suzuki used to catch Kaito Kid.

In addition to the four bodyguards around the platform, there were dozens of bodyguards and police officers wearing the same black uniforms scattered among the crowd.

In addition, there were two Metropolitan Police Department helicopters with searchlights flying above the intersection, circling back and forth.

After Sonoko briefly greeted Kyogoku Makoto and Uncle Suzuki Jirokichi, she enthusiastically took Kyogoku Makoto to an excellent "viewing spot" near the booth.

Kyogoku Makoto looked at Sonoko beside him and said, "Sonoko, do you really want to meet that... Kaito Kidd?"

Yuanzi smiled and nodded, "Of course! This is the closest place to the platform, we will be able to see him soon. At such a close distance, maybe we can even see his face clearly~"

Kyogoku Makoto: "..."

Kyogoku Makoto looked at the smile on Sonoko's face, clenched his fists silently, turned his head to look at the booth beside him, and an inexplicable gleam flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Sonoko pulled Kyogoku Makoto's arm and chuckled, "Ah Zhen, you probably haven't seen Kaito Kid yet, right? Don't you want to see him in person~"

Kyogoku Makoto tried hard to control the expression on his face and said calmly: "Well, I can't wait..."

Hearing what Kyogoku Makoto said, Sonoko crossed her arms, smiled and nodded: "I told you~ No one can refuse to see Kaito Kid in person~ But Makoto, why did you change into a karate uniform specifically?"

"..."

At the same time, in the crowd, after finishing the final deployment with his assistant Father Terai, Kuroba Kaito sneaked into the crowd, observing the situation in secret while quietly waiting for the time to come.

After carefully checking the deployment of the police and Suzuki Jirokichi's personal bodyguards and the security measures on site, Kuroba Kaito turned his attention to Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko in the center of the booth.

"Huh~ It seems that Officer Makino didn't lie to me. He really didn't come~"

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito suddenly discovered that there was a wheat-skinned man wearing a karate uniform standing next to Suzuki Sonoko.

This man with special attire immediately caught the attention of Kuroba Kaito.

For some reason, the moment he saw this man, he inexplicably remembered what Makino said to him last night:

——"Although I won't be there tomorrow, but... there's a high possibility that Kyogoku will be there~"

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito frowned and thought to himself: "Could this strange guy in a karate uniform be the Kyogoku mentioned by Officer Makino?"

The next moment, he looked down at the time, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

The time for the challenge proposed by consultant Suzuki is almost up, and there is no point in thinking about it now.

No matter who this Kyogoku is, no one can stop him as long as Officer Makino is not around!

After a moment, Kuroba Kaito slowly walked to the front of the crowd and pressed the button in his pocket.

A few seconds after the button was pressed, the crowd roared like a tinderbox:

"Everyone, look to the sky!"

"Kid is here! He's in the sky!"

"Lord Kidd!!"

"..."

Amidst voices mixed with "excitement" and "thrill", everyone present looked up at the sky.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, several thick white smoke suddenly burst out from around "Kaito Kidd" in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the white smoke surrounding "Kaito Kidd" exploded instantly, completely covering "Kaito Kidd" in the air.

Just as everyone was turning their heads to look for the disappeared Kaito Kid, Kaito Kid suddenly jumped onto the booth.

This incredible "performance" instantly ignited people's enthusiasm.

For a moment, everyone present shouted Kidd's name.

The four bodyguards around the booth were also shocked by this sudden scene. They stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to do.

The next second, the reporters and photographers on the scene who reacted first immediately ran to the booth, trying to get the interview opportunity first.

Seeing this scene, Kuroba Kaito put his hands in his pockets, smiled and squatted down in advance, as if he wanted to accept interviews from several reporters in front of the bodyguards around him.

Before the reporters and cameramen could run up, Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast, and the hair on the back of his neck instantly stood up.

The next moment, he quickly looked to the side and saw that the man in karate uniform had run not far from him.

Under Kuroba Kaito's astonished gaze, the man in karate uniform jumped up and kicked directly at him.

Kuroba Kaito: “?!!”

He quickly jumped up to avoid the flying kick.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the man in the karate uniform suddenly turned in the air and kicked him hard with his other leg.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Kuroba Kaito actually felt that he heard the so-called "sound of breaking through the air".

Before his brain could fully react, his body took action first, and he desperately did a backflip to avoid the combo.

After landing on the booth again, Kuroba Kaito's head and palms were covered in cold sweat.

The subconscious in his mind told him that if he was hit by the kick just now, he might...

After seeing this sudden scene, everyone at the scene fell into silence.

At this moment, an extremely excited voice suddenly sounded: "Come on, Ah Zhen! Keep going!!!"

After hearing Sonoko's voice, Kyogoku Makoto's eyelids twitched as he just landed. After trying to calm down his emotions, he stared at Kaito Kid on the booth again and assumed a karate stance.

Kuroba Kaito: “????”

At this moment, he was almost certain that the guy in front of him wearing a karate uniform was the "Kyogoku" mentioned by Officer Makino before.

Judging from what Suzuki Sonoko shouted before, this guy’s full name is most likely “Kyogoku Makoto”.

Before Kuroba Kaito could think about it, Kyogoku Makoto rushed forward and punched him directly again.

Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito quickly threw out the smoke bomb in his pocket, then stuffed the two pairs of shoes on the stage into his arms, ready to escape.

--"boom!"

--"Bang!!"

The next second, two voices, one small and one large, rang out instantly.

The booth was immediately enveloped by thick smoke, and no one could see what was going on inside the smoke.

Two seconds later, as the smoke dissipated, everyone finally saw the situation near the booth.

The Kaito Kidd, who was originally wearing a white suit, has disappeared, and the only person left is Kyogoku Makoto, who is covering his mouth and nose and looking around.

However, at this moment, no one cared about the Kaito Kidd who had disappeared, but stared in amazement at the wooden exhibition stand that seemed to have been smashed by Kyogoku Makoto's bare hands, and fell into silence.

At the same time, Kuroba Kaito, who had finally blended into the crowd, turned his head and took a quick look behind him.

When he discovered that the huge wooden booth had been smashed into "pieces" by Kyogoku Makoto, his eyes trembled slightly and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"This, this guy... If this punch hits me, maybe... No! I will definitely die! Damn it! Where did this monster come from?! Did this guy learn fighting from Officer Makino?! "

At this moment, a strange loud noise suddenly sounded at the scene, and the intersection was suddenly surrounded by huge nets on all sides, as if it had turned into a huge "ring".

Soon after, Suzuki Jirokichi's voice rang out from the loudspeaker: "Hahahahaha! Kaito Kidd, I've made every possible preparation this time! Even if you try to escape with a hot air balloon, you'll be locked onto by the helicopter in the sky!"

At this point, Suzuki Jirokichi glanced at Kyogoku Makoto on the screen and continued, "The boy next to the booth, I remember your name is Kyogoku Makoto, right? Although you didn't catch the thief directly, you did a very good job! But next..."

Before Suzuki Jirokichi could finish his words, Kyogoku Makoto, who was still beside the booth, suddenly rushed in one direction.

Following closely, there was a voice that made Kuroba Kaito shudder: "The man in black with a hat, if you are not Kaito Kidd, please don't move!"
