Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 79 The Policewoman's Concern

"It's okay, it's okay, but I'm not used to it." Tachibana Shizuka said as if he thought of something, and then subconsciously pushed Conan's big head away:
"Look what I said."

"What?" Conan was a little confused and didn't know what Tachibana Shizuka was talking about.

"I told you that you are a plague god. Today I have to suffer with you." Tachibana Shizuka's disgust was evident in his words. Wasn't it Conan who invited this mentally ill Kiichiro Numabuchi?

"."

Conan's eyes were dull, he had never seen anyone like Tachibana Shizuka!

Brother, you finally escaped death, and the first thing you say when you see me is to express your disgust towards me?

No, are you okay?
Tachibana Shizuka's outrageous remarks made Conan wonder if he had a brain injury. Just when Conan was shocked and speechless, the other people in the club rushed over and examined Tachibana Shizuka from head to toe.

It's okay. Apart from some sweat and a pale face, Tachibana Seiji's body is intact and has no wounds.

Only then did everyone relax.

The "exhausted" Tachibana Shizuka was put back under the tree and settled down. Two burly club coaches stood beside him, in the name of giving Tachibana Shizuka a sense of security.

Tachibana Shizuka nonchalantly withdrew his gaze from the scene. With so many people rushing in at once, the footprints at the scene had been completely destroyed. Not to mention the Metropolitan Police Department's incompetent forensics officers, even if all they had were trace examination experts, it would still be useless.

It was only then that Conan finally had the chance to get close to Tachibana Shizuka again, and facing his disdainful gaze, he asked:

"So what's going on with Ju Gege? Why does the murderer have a gun?"

Shizuka Tachibana knew that what Conan was asking was not why Kiichiro Numabuchi had a gun in his hand, but why Kiichiro Numabuchi had a gun in his hand but couldn't use it when chasing them.

Considering that Kiichiro Numabuchi had been chasing Tachibana Shizu for quite some time, any normal murderer would have used a gun if they had one. Why did Kiichiro Numabuchi have to drag him into the woods before using it?

Compared to the flat road outside, the conditions for using a pistol in the woods are undoubtedly worse.

Conan was confused, Conan didn't understand, Conan was curious.

Tachibana Shizuka knew that if he couldn't answer Conan's question perfectly at this time, it would definitely plant a seed of doubt in this boy's heart.

Fortunately, Tachibana Shizuka has his own unique way of dealing with it.

"How the hell should I know?" Tachibana Shizuka gave Conan a pair of eyes and said, "Do you know how scared I was when that guy took out the gun?

Moreover, this guy's movement speed in the woods is even faster than on the ground. Could he be some wild man from the mountains?"

That's right, Tachibana Shizuka's response was to simply say, "I don't know." Considering his current weakness, this statement was surprisingly credible in Conan's eyes.

The reason why Conan was able to trust Tachibana Shizuka so easily was also thanks to Kiichiro Numabuchi's "neurosis". It was known that Kiichiro Numabuchi would kill people wearing black clothes for no reason, and was targeting another high school student wearing black clothes who he had never met.

Then no matter what unreasonable actions this guy takes, they all seem reasonable to him.

You can never use conventional logic to judge the behavior of a psychopath - their behavior always has its own logic.

Looking at Tachibana Shizuka's pale cheek, Conan pondered for a long time, and finally said solemnly: "Tachibana Gege, thank you."

"That's all right, as long as we're safe." After the scene in the woods finally became harmonious, the police from the Metropolitan Police Department finally arrived and stopped outside the woods with a lot of noise.

With the sound of a car door closing, Tachibana Shizuka's good brother, Inspector Megure, rushed to the scene with his old acquaintance, Inspector Sato, and a group of men from the First Investigation Section.

Officer Sato's emotions were more open than Officer Megure's. The moment he saw Tachibana Shizuka, he rushed up and wanted to repeat the actions of the people in the club just now.

"Alright, alright, Officer Sato, don't worry! They've already stripped me naked and checked me over.

Aside from being a little frightened, he was unharmed.”

Tachibana Shizuka barely managed to hold onto her clothes from Sato Miwako's hands, preventing her from stripping her clothes in broad daylight. However, Tachibana Shizuka felt the deep concern from Sato Miwako.

If you say they are not familiar with each other, then they are actually quite familiar with each other. After all, they see each other every now and then. Apart from Xiaolan's family and friends, the brothers and sisters from the Metropolitan Police Department are the ones they see the most.

But if you say we are familiar with each other, apart from seeing each other after various events, there are not many opportunities to meet at other times.

Miwako Sato has endless overtime work to do, and Shizuka Tachibana also has his own series of plans to fulfill.

To be honest, Tachibana Shizuka was really touched that someone was so concerned about him in this situation.

At this moment, Inspector Megure also came to Tachibana Shizuka. Seeing that Tachibana Shizuka was still lively and energetic except for his slightly pale face, he nodded with satisfaction.

My younger brother is lucky and has a long life. That's good, that's very good.

Inspector Megure patted Sato Miwako's shoulder and then asked Tachibana Shizuka, "So, brother Tachibana, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Shizuka spat with an ugly expression: "Don't mention Officer Megure, I've met a psychopath."

Then Tachibana Shizuka told Inspector Megure what he and Conan had just experienced, including how he saw someone committing a crime at a bus stop while walking on the street, and then the person started chasing him closely.

Then, based on Conan's analysis, he threw Conan away and led the murderer into the woods alone. In the end, when the murderer pulled out a gun, he snatched the gun and killed him.

Tachibana Shizuka described a thrilling story in a calm tone, and his good deeds made all the detectives present look at him with approval.

What does it mean to be brave and selfless? Isn't that what Tachibana Shizuka is all about?
This young man named Tachibana Shizuka can definitely be regarded as a moral role model for high school students in the entire Beika Town and even in Tokyo.

Just as Tachibana Shizuka and Conan were explaining the situation one after another, the police officer sent by Inspector Megure to investigate the identity of the deceased and the murderer at the bus stop got a clue.

“The identities of the murderer and the deceased have been found out.

The murderer, Kiichiro Numabuchi, was born in the Kansai region and grew up in the forests of Gunma Prefecture. He is currently unemployed.

It's worth mentioning that this time, the victim, like you, Tachibana-kun, has no connection to Kiichirō Numabuchi. It seems like a random crime.

Or, as you and Conan analyzed, Numabuchi Kiichiro simply wanted to kill the person wearing black clothes."

The latest clues from the police investigation department made Tachibana Shizuka "confused", but Conan seemed to be thinking about something.
