Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 178 Exposure Risk
Since the two systems don't get along, he certainly can't let the other side off easily. He has to say a few words, otherwise he won't be able to explain it to Matsumoto Kiyonaga when he gets back.

Furthermore, he was also somewhat interested in the mysterious organization that the police were investigating.

Having more information can help the Metropolitan Police Department solve cases, and at the very least, it can broaden their horizons.

And this is in Tokyo, so we might run into this mysterious organization again next time.

He had heard that the police mostly dealt with extremely vicious terrorist organizations, whose arrogance and behavior were horrifying. He used to think the police were just bragging, but now that the billion-yen case had come up, he was starting to believe it.

Judging from what they said, this wasn't the organization they were looking for personally taking action, but rather directing it remotely.

Kazami Yuya shook his head firmly, "That won't do. The person behind this is extremely well hidden and has a huge influence. They could have spies everywhere. I'm afraid I can't help with this."

However, we will contact Superintendent General Hakuba later; this matter will not have any adverse effect on Inspector Megure's political career.

While the statement that "their eyes and ears are everywhere" sounds nice, Inspector Megure clearly understood the underlying meaning.

The other party suspects that there are spies behind the Metropolitan Police Department.

Inspector Megure didn't like hearing this. His initial smugness vanished, and he prepared to argue with the other party with a serious expression.

Just then, the chubby police officer next to him handed him a cell phone and whispered in Inspector Megure's ear, "It's Chief Oda's call."

Toshiro Odagiri, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, is the superior of Inspector Megure's superior.

When he made the call at that moment, Inspector Megure already had a guess.

"Minister, it's me, Inspector Megure."

Yes, the public security police are right in front of me. Please give me instructions.

Correct.

I see"

After hanging up the phone, Inspector Megure waved to the police behind him to put their guns away. The conversation was brief; Odagiri Toshiro on the other end told him to hand over the case to the Public Security Bureau.

With his superiors' endorsement, Megure was happy that he didn't need to worry about his hair.

As for the situation of the mysterious organization, if he couldn't find out, so be it; Inspector Megure wasn't someone who didn't know his place.

Red and blue lights flash alternately.

Police officers patrolled the surroundings one by one.

Although the order was given to hand the case over to the police, it was not said that they could not investigate.

Out of curiosity, Inspector Megure still checked the warehouse area, not ruling out the possibility that Akemi Miyano had hidden one billion yen nearby.

After receiving Inspector Megure's approval, Kazami Yuya left. The Public Security Bureau doesn't have a habit of covering up, and with Miyano Akemi secured, nothing else matters.

However, he still drove off in Miyano Akemi's car.

First, there was no means of transportation; second, the car might have contained some important clues.

Akemi Miyano is still in a coma. Take everything you need with you so you don't have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up your car later.

after this.

Natsukawa and Megure entered the warehouse together.

Kogoro Mouri was shouting and yelling, and he didn't know what was wrong with Conan.

However, Yuri probably won't do anything to him, so Natsukawa isn't worried.

"Inspector Megure!" Conan, who had just been woken up by Kogoro Mouri pinching his philtrum, ignored the pain and rushed to Inspector Megure to ask, "Where's Akemi? Has she already been taken back by you?"

Conan's tone was full of anticipation, much like Anya's longing for peanuts.

Inspector Megure shook his head and then observed the warehouse.

The warehouse was unremarkable, no different from any other ordinary warehouse, and there was nothing noteworthy about it. The police did not find 1 billion yen inside the warehouse.

Conan turned to look at Natsukawa and asked curiously, "Uncle Natsukawa, can you tell me?"

I need help urgently!!!
"You brat, you still haven't learned your lesson? Do you even know how dangerous it is to face a robber face-to-face!"

Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the forehead and then twisted it hard.

The pain doubled!
"Ouch!" Conan stumbled and fell into Natsukawa's arms. Then, seeing that his uncle was about to punch him again, he quickly covered his head and ran away from the warehouse.

It's okay. If I can't ask Uncle Natsukawa, I can ask Officer Takagi. I haven't gotten my pocket phone back yet either.

Xia Chuan casually retrieved the tracking device attached to Conan, turned around and smiled, "Uncle Mori, don't be too angry. Although Conan was a bit reckless, we found Miyano Akemi entirely thanks to him. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have any direction to investigate by now."

“Indeed.” Inspector Megure nodded. “But we still need to be careful. After all, it’s too dangerous. If something happens to Conan, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Inspector Megure, having gotten the better deal, then started discussing with Kogoro Mouri how to deal with Conan.

"Since we're worried about Conan running around, why not prepare more homework for him, like practice questions? That way he can learn useful knowledge and also keep him from running around."

If Conan's parents knew what Uncle Mori did, they would definitely thank you.

"That seems to be the case."

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and nodded. "Natsukawa, that's a good idea. I'll get started on it when we get back."

That's right, Conan is so stubborn, he must not have enough homework. Kogoro Mouri decides to have Ran take Conan to buy a few pounds of homework when he gets back.

From now on, Conan's daily routine will consist of eating, going to school, doing homework, and sleeping, leading a fulfilling and happy elementary school life. Filling in more knowledge will definitely be helpful in the future.

Unaware that he had been preordained, Conan arrived at the door to question Takagi. Takagi, without hiding anything, told Conan the entire case.

Conan's expression turned extremely grim upon learning that Akemi Miyano had been taken away by the police.

He still remembered what Akemi Miyano said: "Your situation cannot be known by others, otherwise you will be captured and dissected for research."

Conan was unfamiliar with the police's interrogation methods and felt uneasy.

It wasn't that I was worried about Miyano Akemi's safety; the Public Security Bureau is, after all, a respectable force. My main concern was that she might reveal her shrunken state to the Public Security Bureau, which posed a risk of exposure.

"Probably not," Conan muttered to himself, somewhat uncertainly. "And even if someone did tell, the police probably wouldn't do anything to me, right?"

The police are a bit scary, which makes Conan uneasy.

Take that man named Yuri we just met, for example. You can tell from the fact that he took Miyano Akemi's pistol and watch that he's well-trained and incredibly strong.

Is this the quality of the police?
The Metropolitan Police Department is no match for them at all.

No, Aunt Joel is an exception.

But how many officers with the same level of force as Aunt Joel can the Metropolitan Police Department have?

"Should we ask Hattori for help? His father is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. I wonder if he can get in touch with the Public Security Bureau."

"Forget it, let's see if Dad knows any high-ranking officials in the police force."

In that instant, Conan thought of many things. In the end, he managed to suppress his nervousness for the time being.

In the end, he decided to sit and wait for his fate.

No, to be precise, it's waiting for things to develop.

I can't easily ask my dad for help, since the other party has been telling me to leave Japan. If I ask for help now, my dad might just kidnap me and take me abroad.

Conan decided to trust Akemi Miyano this time. Although he had little contact with her, his strong intuition told him that she would not easily expose him.

"Oh, right!" Conan suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't told Inspector Megure yet.

He was so focused on Miyano Akemi's condition when he first woke up that he forgot about the embezzled funds from the case—one billion yen!

"Officer Megure!"

Conan jogged into the warehouse. "I know where Miyano Akemi's ten billion yen is."

Akemi Miyano had told him about the location of the 1 billion yen during their previous conversation.

When Tequila failed to show up for the transaction as agreed, she told Conan the location of the ten billion yen she had hidden, so that Conan could promptly notify the police to recover the ten billion yen should something happen to her.

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where is it? Take me there right away!"

"In the parking lot of Beika Hotel, there is a white sedan with license plate number Shinjuku AY512."

Inspector Megure waved his hand and dismissed the team—heading to the Beika Grand Hotel.

Once the money was found, they stopped interfering in the police case.

Watching Inspector Megure leave, Natsukawa shook his head inwardly.

To Inspector Megure's dismay, he will never get that money back.

However, it's not a big problem; Kazami Yuya has already taken the blame for the police.

Clearly, the police thought that capturing Miyano Akemi and obtaining the money was just a matter of time. They never imagined that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Natsukawa had already seen through Miyano Akemi's plan and transferred the 1 billion yen ahead of schedule.

The ten suitcases are currently inside GTR. Once the case is closed, Natsukawa plans to send them to Shirakage Pharmaceuticals.

This thing is quite troublesome for him to keep; he should take it back to Gin as soon as possible.

As for Akemi Miyano...

He told Yuri in the letter to keep the details of the case a secret.

Based on Kazami Yuya's previous conversation with Inspector Megure, it can be confirmed that the other party will not reveal that Miyano Akemi is still alive.

The only loophole is that Inspector Megure and Inspector Takagi know the truth.

As for the police at the scene, they only knew that a case had occurred, whether it was a search for 1 billion yen, and had no idea what had happened to Akemi Miyano.

Natsukawa wasn't worried that Inspector Megure and Takagi would leak the information.

These two have absolutely no connection to the brewery, and given that he prepared the body beforehand and filmed Tequila stuffing Miyano Akemi into a cement bucket and throwing it into Tokyo Bay, Gin's side probably won't investigate further.

Even if an investigation is conducted, Takagi and Megure are important figures in the world of Detective Conan, and it's unlikely that anything would happen to them easily.

Conan couldn't keep up with Inspector Megure's pace.

Firstly, the fact that the police came to Tokyo Bay in such a high-profile manner means that Tequila must have been discovered, and the other party could not possibly reappear; otherwise, they would be no different from idiots.
Secondly, ten billion yen was not his target. The important Akemi Miyano had already been taken away, and ten billion yen could not provide him with clues about the Black Organization.
Third, Kogoro Mouri had already pulled him out, preventing him from sneaking around and following the police.

Fourth, there is one more thing he needs to do, which is particularly urgent and requires Dr. Agasa's help.

However, it seems Uncle Mori won't let him off the hook tonight; he might have to wait until tomorrow.

"Natsukawa, are you going home?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

"Never mind, I'm just in Tokyo Bay, I'm going to go fishing." Natsukawa walked to his GTR and took out his fishing gear.
