Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 177 The Powerful Japanese Public Security

The setting sun cast its rays on the walls of the abandoned warehouse, creating a patchwork of orange-red light and shadow.

The warehouse was dilapidated, with peeling and crumbling exterior walls and a rusty, fully open door.

The warehouse was somewhat dark, with only a few rays of light filtering through the small windows illuminated by the sunset.

From here, you can vaguely see the ruins of the warehouse and the scattered debris on the ground. The walls are covered with graffiti, including several human figures, making the whole scene appear even more desolate and dilapidated.

As the sun gradually set, the sky darkened, and the warehouse fell into a desolate silence. The roads outside the warehouse were deserted, while the engines of semi-trailer trucks roared along the outer streets, creating a stark contrast.

At this moment, there are two groups of people facing off inside and outside the abandoned warehouse.

Leaving aside the three people at the warehouse entrance, the atmosphere inside the warehouse was becoming increasingly tense, with Yuri and Miyano Akemi wary of each other's subtle movements.

"suspects?"

Conan muttered to himself, feeling that something was off about what the other person was saying.

If they were criminals, they certainly wouldn't call Miyano Akemi a "suspect." The only people who would call Miyano Akemi a suspect are probably the police.

but!

Is this guy a policeman?

impossible!

This guy has a baby face and is clearly not a college graduate yet. Only criminals hire people regardless of age; you can't become a police officer just because you're a young high school student.

Moreover, he had seen all the police officers around Inspector Megure, but he didn't recognize this guy in front of him.

Yuri saw extreme distrust and disdain in Conan's eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable.

This face is the only sore spot in his life.

She is cute and looks young.

The problem is that his job and his face don't match at all; they're even somewhat incongruous.
When interrogating a prisoner, the prisoner usually mocks him.

Although he would ruthlessly torture me afterward, it was still very painful.

The prisoner suffered physical harm, but he was also tormented mentally!

"I'm not some high school student!" Yuri glared at Conan, took out his ID and waved it: "I'm a public security police officer, and I'm arresting you on charges of planning and carrying out robbery, murder, possession of firearms, and joining an illegal organization."

You have the right to remain silent now, and even if you do speak, I won't listen.

Yuri gave a concise explanation, then showed the handcuffs on the back of his badge and continued, "Are you going to put them on yourself or should I help you?"

Miyano Akemi was just a weak woman, and Yuri wasn't worried at all, even though the other party had a gun.

Police have always been incredibly powerful in handling cases because their opponents are all professional criminals, none of whom are worthy of pity.

He vowed that if Miyano Akemi made any move, he would first break her left hand holding the gun.

For some, a gun is fast and accurate within seven steps, but for him, that doesn't apply.

Besides, who doesn't have a gun?

"public security?"

Conan muttered to himself, his heart finally settling down. At least they weren't criminals.

and many more!

As he came to his senses, he suddenly realized a very important problem!
He seemed to be unfamiliar with the police, or even completely unaware of them. If Miyano Akemi were arrested by the police, wouldn't he be unable to see her if he wanted to?

Akemi Miyano was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department. He could meet her through his two identities, Uncle Mori or his real name. But when he got to the Public Security Bureau, who could he contact?

He doesn't know anyone in the Japanese police!
"No, the crimes committed by Akemi should be handled by the Metropolitan Police Department. The Public Security Bureau is responsible for external national security, while internal affairs should be handled by the local police. The Public Security Bureau has no right to do this!"
Furthermore, Officer Takagi is right at the door; to arrest someone, you need Officer Takagi's permission.

"Hehe, this kid knows quite a lot."

However, since you said that the Public Security Bureau is responsible for national security, I am now certain that Akemi Miyano has joined an organization or group that endangers national security.

The police have the right to detain and interrogate him.

"Where's the evidence! Robbing a bank has already threatened national security?" Conan felt he could still put up a fight; he figured the other party wouldn't talk to a child about the Black Organization.

However, this shows that the Japanese police seem to have also discovered Gin and his group, and judging from his demeanor today, he is clearly after Miyano Akemi.

He must have received some information to dare to come alone.

Perhaps there are police officers among the black-clad organization.

But if that's the case, why haven't we wiped this organization out yet?
Is it that agave?
The reason I thought of tequila is because the other party hasn't shown up yet, which is very strange.

Even if you're late, you should have arrived by now.

One billion yen is no small sum, and the Black Organization would definitely be interested in it, but it hasn't shown up yet. He suspects that the so-called tequila is actually a spy planted in the Black Organization by the Public Security Bureau.

Those despicable police officers!
What exactly are they doing?

If he had dealt with the Black Organization a few months earlier, he wouldn't be in this state now.

While it's nice to sometimes take a bath with Ran, if he hadn't shrunk, he might have been able to take a bath together now, after confessing his feelings at Dorobiga Amusement Park that day.

After calculating, I still lost money.

Conan was not only confused but also angry, as the Public Security Bureau was completely disregarding the safety of the people.

He never considered that the reason he shrunk was entirely due to his love of joining in the fun and his detective's sixth sense.
If he hadn't insisted on following Gin and Vodka, none of what happened afterward would have occurred.

"Little friend, I don't think I need to explain so much to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuri suddenly made his move, moving lightly to stand in front of Miyano Akemi. Taking advantage of the fact that she was still watching the show, he quickly snatched the pistol from her hand.

Then, with a "click," the heavy steel bracelets were already on Miyano Akemi's hands.

By the time Akemi Miyano realized what was happening, it was too late. Feeling the coldness on her wrist, her heart was just as cold.

hateful!

Conan didn't care about anything else; all he wanted to do was wait for Inspector Megure to arrive.

So he set up the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun and aimed it at Yuri, ready to fire.

"Hey, little kid, what are you doing?"

With a whoosh, the bangs on Conan's forehead were blown by the wind. Conan felt a blur before his eyes, and his arm felt light. The watch that was hanging on his wrist had disappeared.

He's still in the same position as before, crouching and aiming, looking a bit like a fool.

"It has a scope, is this the switch?"

Yuri fiddled with his watch, trying to figure out how it was used.

When Conan looked up at his watch, he sensed a hint of danger.

This toy looks a bit dangerous.

How could a child play with such a dangerous thing? Confiscate it!
Pressing the timeline switch, at an angle Yuri didn't notice, a translucent needle shot out.

call out--

"Ah, ah, me."

Conan felt dizzy, experiencing for the first time the true state of Uncle Mori when he was unconscious. The tranquilizer dart in his arm turned to dust, but the anesthetic inside had already been injected into his hand.

His steps were unsteady, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Why is this child so timid?"

Yuri didn't quite understand what was going on, so he tossed the watch aside, thinking that Conan must have fainted from fright.

It's normal for a child to be timid.

It's better if he's in a coma, at least it'll save us from too many problems.

Without waiting for Miyano Akemi to say anything, he delivered a karate chop to the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.

There's another problem outside that he needs to deal with.

However, judging from what just happened, it seems that Akemi Miyano did not come here to see Agave, or rather, Agave did not come.

Instead, it was Natsukawa and Conan, and someone else—who knows Natsukawa and is guarding the front door.

They call themselves police officers, but what kind of police officer lets a little kid keep watch? If word got out, people would laugh their heads off.

If they're from the Black Organization, then Tequila didn't show up. So who's this guy guarding the door for?
No, Conan just mentioned that the other person's name was Officer Takagi.

Honestly, I really wish his name was Officer Takagi?

He had only heard of a very impressive professor named Dr. Agasa, so it was quite normal for his full name to be Officer Takagi.

If it were a police officer, it would be wrong to let ordinary people roam freely, but letting children keep watch would be extremely disgraceful for the police.

"Kazami, ask if the man in the dark gray suit is from the Metropolitan Police Department."

Yuri has no intention of meeting with Natsukawa.

My sister's contact name for me is "Ministry of Foreign Affairs diplomat." If Xia Chuan finds out my true identity, it's the same as my sister finding out, which won't do.

Kazami Yuya was taken aback.

His eyes suddenly locked onto the cherry blossom emblem on Takagi's chest. He hadn't noticed it before, but Yuri reminded him that the other man had the Metropolitan Police Department's cherry blossom pattern pinned to his chest.

There are also revolvers.

So he wasn't part of the Black Organization after all!
What's going on? You made him misunderstand for so long.

Are you a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department?

Kazami Yuya also showed his identification, "I am a public security police officer, and I am on duty."

Takagi:.
After a standoff, how did they become allies?
Just a moment ago they were at loggerheads and ready to shoot, but now they're showing their identification.

Takagi, lacking assertiveness, turned her attention to Natsukawa, who was an "ordinary person."

The meaning is clear: strategist, give me an idea.

"Are you police officers going to get involved in cases handled by the Metropolitan Police Department?" Xia Chuan asked.

"No, we received a tip from an informant that there were transactions here that could harm national interests, so we came here."

Now that we have investigated and confirmed that it did happen, we are ready to take over the case.

We have taken Akemi Miyano away. Once we find out the whereabouts of the 1 billion yen, we will submit the information to the First Investigation Division in an official letter.

Besides that, this case ends here. We will also be taking the bodies of the other three robbers and all the information we have already gathered.

Kazami Yuya's words completely baffled Takagi Miki; how was he supposed to respond?

He's just a lowly patrol officer; it's pointless to talk to him about this.

Just then, police sirens sounded, and Takagi Wataru, as if grasping at a lifeline, beamed with joy: "You should contact Inspector Megure directly about this matter; my position prevents me from giving an answer."

Through the earpiece, Yuri said, "You deal with them. I'll take Miyano Akemi away first. Tequila probably won't come. Come back as soon as you're done."

"I see."

As soon as Yuri left, sirens wailed throughout Zone 4.

It really proves the saying: the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is mediocre at solving cases, but excels at cleaning up messes.

When Inspector Megure arrived at the scene, he was dumbfounded as he looked at the three people facing off.

"Brother Natsukawa, where are Takagi and Miyano Akemi?"

Takagi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I think it's still inside, right?"

He said uncertainly, "Conan just went in too."

"What?! How could you let a child come into contact with dangerous criminals?!" Inspector Megure's eyes flashed with anger, furious at his child's lack of self-control.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri rushed into the warehouse in a few steps.

Although Conan is annoying, he is, after all, the other party's nominal guardian. He has taken money from the other party's mother. It's okay to fight him occasionally, but when it comes to a real crisis, he still cares about the other party's life or death.

Inspector Megure waved his hand, signaling to Miwako Sato beside him to follow.

Only after Sato Miwako led her people into the warehouse did he notice the man confronting Takagi.

The man was dressed in a suit and tie, with a straight back and an air of righteousness about him. He looked more like a policeman than Takagi, except that his clothes were a bit shabby, covered in rust, the source of which was unknown.

"Who is this?"

Kazami Yuya nodded in acknowledgment: "Next, Kazami Yuya, Public Security Police!"

After saying that, he took out his ID again.

Inspector Megure's eyes immediately narrowed, scanning the other person back and forth.

The relationship between the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau has never been friendly.

No, whether it's the headquarters police, the prefectural police, or the county police, their relationship with the public security bureau is not very good.

Because the police are notoriously domineering, using national security as a pretext, they have stolen a lot of their business.

Will the police get involved in this 1 billion yen robbery?
Takagi noticed Inspector Megure's confusion and stepped forward to explain.

"So, the billion-yen robbery involves national security?" Inspector Megure asked.

"Yes, there are people behind this case. Miyano Akemi is just a pawn of the other side. That group is the target of our public security bureau. Our public security bureau needs to take over this case."

After Kazami Yuya finished speaking, noticing the other person's unpleasant expression, he immediately added:

"But don't worry, we'll find out where the 1 billion yen is. Then the money will be handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department. We just want the people; we don't care about credit or anything like that."

The Black Organization is a terrorist organization hidden in the shadows, so the police will naturally not expose it or hold any press conferences.

The best course of action in this case is to treat it as a regular robbery, return the money, and treat the robbers as if they had killed each other.

The sky had completely darkened, and Kazami Yu couldn't see Inspector Megure's expression, but he felt that this approach was appropriate and the other party should be satisfied.

After all, the Metropolitan Police Department usually relies on outside help to solve cases, so this case can be seen as the Metropolitan Police Department asking the Public Security Police for outside help, which is theoretically no different from the detectives solving cases before.

Inspector Megure was secretly pleased that he could slack off, but he remained outwardly calm and said, "I need to know the information about the person behind this case, otherwise it will be difficult to write the report, and I won't be able to explain it to my superiors."
