I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 660 Team Assembles (1st Update)
The sun was shining brightly, and the streets of Tokyo were bustling with traffic, yet orderly. Yumi Miyamoto drove her white traffic police patrol car slowly along a familiar route.

In the passenger seat, Miike Naoko carefully observed the road conditions.

The atmosphere inside the car was completely different from a few days ago, filled with a sense of peace after surviving a disaster and... a touch of languor.

Miyamoto Yumi gripped the steering wheel, let out a long, satisfied sigh, and exclaimed sincerely, "Niaozi, how come we never realized before how wonderful it is to be able to patrol peacefully like this!"

Upon hearing this, Miike Naeko nodded vigorously in deep agreement, her twin tails swaying gently with the movement: "Yes, yes... Miyamoto-senpai, you're absolutely right!"

"Compared to the life-or-death races of the past few nights, where you had to fight off criminals, cling to a speeding plane, or parachute from 10,000 meters... dealing with traffic violations and managing traffic flow like this is so easy and safe!"

"At least... at least I don't have to worry about dying at any moment." Her voice still carried a trace of lingering fear.

While keeping an eye on the red light ahead, Yumi Miyamoto continued to sigh, her gaze somewhat unfocused, as if she were back in that terrifying night: "To be honest, what happened a few nights ago... looking back now, it's like having a bizarre, incredibly exciting, and absolutely terrifying nightmare. It's all so unreal."

Naeko Miike hugged her clipboard and whispered in agreement, "Yeah, it's really unbelievable! To be honest, in my whole life, no, even in my past life, I never thought that I... I, Naeko Miike, would do something so crazy!"

Her heart races whenever she thinks about it.

Yumi Miyamoto nodded in agreement, saying, "Right, right! We were definitely drunk back then, and our minds weren't clear!"

"Otherwise, there's no way to explain why we would follow Shiraishi-kun and Miwako to do that kind of thing!"

She now only feels that she was courageous back then.

Miike Naeko nodded vigorously again, expressing her deep agreement with Miyamoto Yumi's conclusion.

That adrenaline rush is enough in one go.

The patrol time passed quickly, and it was time for the scheduled rest period.

Yumi Miyamoto parked her car in front of a convenience store, and the two of them got out, bought a cup of hot coffee, and leaned against the car to enjoy a rare moment of leisure.

With the warm sunshine on their bodies, holding a hot coffee in their hands, and looking at the peaceful yet bustling street scene before them, both of them felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

With nothing to do, Yumi Miyamoto took out her phone and subconsciously entered keywords into the search engine, hoping to see if there were any news reports about that night.

Miike Naeko also curiously came over.

However, after searching through the social sections of major news websites, and even international news, no reports could be found related to "private plane explosion", "abnormal air conditions near Haneda Airport", or "multiple people jumping out of the plane".

It was as if the plane explosion and the dozens of casualties had never happened.

However, a few posts appeared sporadically on some local forums and social media. The posters claimed with certainty that they had been kidnapped a few nights ago, then rescued by a mysterious person, and finally survived a terrifying group skydive.

However, the comments section below was almost unanimously filled with mockery and disbelief:
"Have you been reading too many novels?"

"Keep making things up, this story is quite original."

"Skydiving? A group jump? Do you think this is a movie called 'Fast and Furious'?"

"I guess he's still dreaming, or he's desperate for fame."

"Instead of bragging, you should go lay bricks."

Looking at these posts, Yumi Miyamoto took a sip of coffee and sighed with a complicated tone, "It seems... the news has been completely suppressed by the higher-ups again. Not a ripple."

Miike Naeko nodded, looking at the mocked "survivor" posts, her feelings were somewhat complicated: "Yeah... if we hadn't experienced it ourselves, hadn't seen it with our own eyes... seeing these posts, we would probably think that someone was talking nonsense and wouldn't believe it at all, right?"

Yumi Miyamoto paused for a moment, took another sip of coffee, gazed at the clear sky in the distance, and slowly said, "Actually... this isn't so bad. At least for us, there won't be any follow-up troubles or investigations, right? Let's just pretend... it was all a dream."

Miike Naeko thought about it carefully and agreed that this made sense.

They were just ordinary traffic police officers; it was best to stay away from that level of storm. Peace and tranquility were more important than anything else.

The two women smiled at each other, finished their coffees, buried the secret of that night deep in their hearts, and returned to their patrol car to continue their ordinary yet "happy" daily work.

----------------

The atmosphere in the hotel room was slightly somber yet filled with a hint of eager excitement.

Emi Shiraishi, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, Miwako Sato, and Conan are gathered together, discussing their next course of action.

Miwako Sato took the initiative to contact E Shiraishi, making it clear that after careful consideration, she could not stand idly by while that huge criminal gang was operating, and requested to continue participating in the investigation.

Her eyes were more determined than last night, clearly indicating that she had overcome some of her fear.

As for Conan, Shiraishi E only mentioned it briefly later, but he insisted on participating in the operation.

After all, he's just a kid with nothing to do at home, so of course he doesn't want to miss out on such a big case.

If he doesn't join in the fun, is he still Shinichi Kudo?
Ran and Sonoko were clearly delighted and reassured to see that their reliable detective, Miwako Sato, was also involved. However, they showed obvious concern about Conan's involvement.

Ran bent down, looking at Conan with concern: "Conan, this is really dangerous. Is it really okay to bring a small child along? What if something happens?"

Sonoko, hands on her hips, expressed her doubt: "Yeah, kid! We'll probably be too busy taking care of ourselves to look after you!"

Even Miwako Sato expressed her concerns, saying, "Conan-kun, we appreciate your intentions, but shouldn't you stay home and wait for news about something so dangerous?"

Conan immediately put on his signature innocent yet confident expression, patting his chest and assuring everyone, "It's okay! I don't need you to take care of me! I can take care of myself!!"

He thought to himself: Worried I'll hold you back? I'm more worried you guys will hold us back!

Seeing this, Shiraishi E smiled and stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, Conan is indeed very smart and quick-witted. He can often notice details that we overlook."

"How about this, we won't let him participate directly in the operation, but he can serve as our little strategist, offering advice and ideas, right?"

These words were met with approval from the three girls.

Keeping Conan away from immediate danger and providing him only with intellectual support seems like a feasible plan.

They finally nodded, agreeing to Conan's right to "listen in".

As soon as Conan got permission, he eagerly jumped to the low table in the center of the room, took out his notebook and pen, and urged impatiently, "Come on, let's not waste any time! Quickly tell me everything that happened yesterday, from beginning to end, in detail!! Don't miss any details!"

Shiraishi cleared her throat, preparing to begin her narration, when suddenly—

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang abruptly.

The room fell silent, everyone exchanging bewildered glances. Shiraishi E frowned, somewhat surprised: "Strange? Everyone's already here, why are there more people?"

Sato Miwako seemed to have thought of something, a look of understanding and anticipation flashing across her face. She quickly said, "Wait a moment... It might be a friend I called. I'll go open the door."

She walked quickly to the door, checked through the peephole, and then opened it. Standing outside was Yumi Miyamoto, whose expression seemed somewhat awkward and unnatural.

Sato Miwako proudly pulled her in and announced to everyone in the room, "Look! Yumi will be participating in this operation again!"

Yumi Miyamoto hadn't expected so many people to be in the room, especially seeing Ran and Sonoko there. She became even more embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly, and she explained with a dazed look in her eyes, "Um... everyone, please don't misunderstand! I... I'm not the kind of person who gives up halfway! If I don't finish something, I feel really, really uncomfortable, and I'll keep thinking about it! So... so I came back!"

Of course, this is only part of the reason; it's mostly an excuse. In fact, after experiencing a life-or-death adventure, she went out for a drink last night as usual to calm her nerves, but suddenly found that the ice-cold beer in her hand had become tasteless, completely lacking the usual refreshing feeling, and instead only tasted incredibly bitter.

Going to bars, drinking, and hooking up with rich guys... things she used to find endless fun suddenly felt incredibly empty and boring.

She thought about how she had lived for more than twenty years and seemed to have been drifting through life in a daze, hardly doing anything truly meaningful or memorable.

After thinking it over and tossing and turning all night, she finally made a crazy decision—she was going to pull off a big heist!
Continue following Emi Shiraishi and Miwako Sato to fight that terrible criminal organization!

That way, when she's old and sitting in a rocking chair reminiscing about the past, she'll at least have something to be proud of, something that makes her feel excited, to say, proving that her life wasn't so empty and boring!

Shiraishi E looked at Miyamoto Yumi, who had returned, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He was naturally happy to have another familiar and capable person in the team, and said with a smile, "Welcome back to the team!!"

Ran and Sonoko were also very happy to see that Yumi Miyamoto did not back down, and thought she was very brave. They clapped and cheered her on, saying, "Well done, Yumi-nee!"

This warm welcome made Yumi Miyamoto feel wonderful and even more certain that she had made the right choice... even though this choice might very well lead to her untimely death in the future.

"Alright, alright, quiet down." Shiraishi E called out a few times, clapped her hands, and was about to start explaining what happened yesterday to the impatient Conan.

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang again!
Sato Miwako stood up again, a "I knew it" smile on her face, and said to everyone, "It seems that another friend of ours has arrived as well."

She went over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Miike Naeko, who had also changed into casual clothes and looked somewhat shy and hesitant.

Miike Naeko was initially a little embarrassed to speak, but when her gaze fell on Miyamoto Yumi, who was already standing in the room, her eyes widened and she felt a deep sense of "betrayal".

She pouted and complained softly, "Yumi-senpai! How could you be so shameless? You kept saying 'It's too dangerous, I'm not going, I'm going home to sleep,' but you secretly came here!!"

Miyamoto Yumi was caught off guard and laughed awkwardly a few times, trying to save face: "Oh dear... people can change their minds... is it wrong for me to change my mind at the last minute?... You came anyway, didn't you?"

Miike Naeko blushed immediately. She was too embarrassed to say that she had been tormented by her last-minute defection the day before and hadn't slept well all night.

Her conscience and sense of responsibility prevented her from truly standing idly by, so she finally mustered the courage to ask Sato Miwako for her address and come over.

Shiraishi E laughed and smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, it's good that everyone's here! This shows we're all like-minded partners! Miao, come on in!!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi were even happier. They never expected that the two traffic police officers were not the kind of people who would choose an easy life, as they had initially imagined. Instead, they were girls full of courage and a sense of justice!
The team is growing stronger!
"Alright, alright!!" Conan, who had been interrupted repeatedly, finally lost his temper and jumped up and down, urging, "Is everyone here? Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what happened! What exactly happened?! Start from the beginning!!"

His detective spirit was burning brightly, and he could hardly contain himself.
