Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 150 Unknown Forces
In the thirteenth house of Mu Mu.

"Finally, I have a day of peace."

Megure Juzo was filled with emotion, thinking back to how, ever since Mori became famous, cases in Tokyo had been popping up one after another.

Although he had his younger brother Mori as a tool for solving cases, there were too many cases, and he was overwhelmed by the task of writing reports every day.

Come to think of it, today seems to be the only day off I've had in the last few months, and it's really been a comfortable day.

It's been a long time since I've had a proper dinner at home.

"What a delicious dinner, Midori!" Inspector Megure looked at his wife with deep affection.

She has had a tough time all these years, especially this year, it has been so painful, and I don’t know when it will end.

Fortunately, nothing much happened today. Tokyo was quiet all day, with no murders reported, and even the most frequent hawking activity, Beika, was quiet.

If we have to name a case, it would only be the one involving Kaito Kid from Nakamori's side, who foreshadowed the theft of the Ekoda Jewel.

But just because it's not a murder case doesn't mean it's none of his business, and he wouldn't bother getting involved.

"You should eat a proper dinner at home once in a while. Look at you, you've lost weight." Green touched Thirteen's round belly, feeling a little sorry for him.

Well.
"Actually, the bento boxes you bring me every day, Xiao Lü, taste just like the ones I make at home."

"Eating at home and eating out are two completely different things." Megure chuckled and continued, "How many dishes are in a bento box, and how many dishes are in a home-cooked meal?"

"Speaking of which, I wonder when you'll eat at home again. What's wrong with Tokyo these past two years? Cases are happening more and more frequently."

Look how much the property prices in Mihua have dropped. Do you think Mihua has bad feng shui, or is it cursed?

Megure waved his hand: "Don't worry too much about superstitions. Most of the cases in Beika are just accidents. Besides, both Mori and Kudo are in Beika, so even if there are cases, they can be solved quickly."

Megure Midori rolled her eyes. She thought it was because Beika had so many detectives that so many murder cases had occurred. Didn't she see that Kogoro Mouri died wherever he went?
A while ago, Inspector Megure even fainted from exhaustion due to having too many cases.

The issue now isn't whether the cases can be solved, but rather that there are too many cases. Even if they could be solved immediately, they would only appear at a minimum frequency of one per day.

The case was solved quickly, but the subsequent statements and case organization were very troublesome, especially the coordination with the judicial department. Writing the materials alone could exhaust Megure.

Knowing that his wife was concerned about him, Inspector Megure stopped explaining and said with a smile, "I'm free today, I'll watch TV with you."

Megure Midori smiled and nodded.

Jingle bell bell~
Megure's smile vanished instantly. At this moment, the phone call was obviously from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Although she loved her husband, who was a policeman, she understood him but still had some complaints, though she mostly kept them to herself.

After all, it was her own choice, and the two of them got together because of Inspector Megure's identity as a police officer.

"I'll take this call." Inspector Megure gave an awkward smile and sighed. Being a police inspector is great, but the work is just too tiring.

"Hey!!"

Hearing the resentful tone in the voice on the phone, Shinichi Kudo was completely bewildered.

"It's me, Inspector Megure."

Megure didn't want to talk. It didn't matter who it was. What mattered was that his rare rest had been disturbed. He had just said he was fine, and now trouble had arisen.

And the fact that the other party is Shinichi Kudo makes it even more annoying.

Making a phone call at this hour must mean something has happened, you jinx!
"Inspector Megure, are you still there?" There was still no response from the other end, which made Shinichi Kudo a little anxious. It was already eight o'clock, and he was afraid that if he continued to delay, Kaito Kid would make his move ahead of time.

Moreover, he didn't know whether the effects of Lao Bai Gan were permanent or temporary.

If it's permanent, then everyone's happy. But if it's temporary, he doesn't even know when he'll revert back to his old self.

"Shinichi, where have you been all this time? I haven't seen you for months. Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is there another case?" Inspector Megure asked with difficulty, silently praying for Buddha's blessing.

"There's no murder case, but..."

He was only acquainted with Inspector Megure at the Metropolitan Police Department. This matter was handled by Inspector Nakamori of the Second Division, but because of the nightmarish mixed doubles match last time, Shinichi Kudo did not have a good impression of Inspector Nakamori, so he decided to give the credit for capturing Kaito Kid to Inspector Megure.

Inspector Megure is a very tolerant person; the saying "a prime minister's belly can hold a boat" is not just a saying. He calls everyone "brother" and everyone is a friendly older brother. Who wouldn't like such a kind older brother? The key is that he listens to advice.

Inspector Nakamori is different. I heard that he doesn't like others getting involved in his cases, and the last time was still fresh in his mind.

"But what? Missing, robbery, or theft?"

Inspector Megure was a little annoyed. He said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't bother me while I'm enjoying my sweet time. I finally got a day off, and now you're showing up at this hour. I don't even want to be an inspector anymore."

"It's a case involving Phantom Thief Kid."

"Kaito Kid is under the jurisdiction of Section 2. If you have any information to report, you should contact Inspector Nakamori, right?"

Inspector Megure rubbed his eyes, gave his wife a reassuring look, indicating that everything was fine. At most, he would just need to put in a good word for Shinichi Kudo to get involved in the Kaito Kid case.

"Inspector Megure, you should know about the Brilliant Flower incident, right?" Shinichi Kudo said solemnly, "An unknown force was involved in that case. Although no body was left, I heard that a lot of bloodstains were left at the scene."

Therefore, I believe that the case of Kaito Kid does not only belong to Section 2, but also requires a joint investigation by Section 1.

"That group might reappear this time. They're heavily armed thugs, and they even have helicopters for transportation. That's definitely a huge illegal armed force."

Dressed in black, Conan suspected that the group was in cahoots with the tall, short, fat, and thin duo who had drugged him!

Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then realized that Kudo's words made some sense.

“Unknown forces.” Inspector Megure nodded solemnly. “I understand. I’ll gather people immediately. Are you there?”

"I'm on my way to the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure. See you later."

Megure Juzo left the house in a disheveled state under his wife's resentful gaze.

It looks like today will be another day where I'm full of energy.

Natsukawa was unaware that Conan had reverted to Shinichi Kudo, nor that Joel was bringing Anya to Ekoda to join the fan club.

The area beneath the Ekoda Clock Tower was packed with fans of Kaito Kid. Some were holding banners, some were wearing headscarves, and some vendors were even selling Kaito Kid merchandise on the spot.

Three helicopters hovered overhead; this was Officer Nakamori's reliance tonight.

The clock tower's jewel is embedded in the hands of the clock. To obtain the jewel, one must work at high altitude. The helicopter is very close to the clock tower, at which point Kaito Kid's hang glider will be interfered with.

Unable to approach from the air, the other party can only choose to come to the clock position from inside the clock tower, which greatly increases the possibility of capture.

A fallen angel is just a mortal, and as long as he is a mortal, Nakamori Ginzo is confident he can arrest him.

Xia Chuan walked through the crowd and quickly spotted the anti-fan Nakamori Aoko; the sign that said "Defeated Kid" couldn't be more obvious.

Thankfully, this isn't Mikado, otherwise Nakamori Aoko might have been choked by Kid's die-hard fans.

He glanced at it twice and then stopped paying attention; he was mainly looking for Koizumi Akako.

I wonder if I'll be able to see Koizumi Akako's performance today. It was a real shame I missed it on Valentine's Day, since the scale of that show was truly impressive!
It should be possible. If I make things a little more difficult for Kaito, given Koizumi Akako's personality, she'll definitely help him.

After searching around, Natsukawa couldn't find Koizumi Akako. Checking the time, he realized there was still an hour until the scheduled time, so he had no choice but to give up.

Oh well, it's the same if I don't tease Kaito.
