Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 550 Taking hostages
Xia Chuan nodded to Yoel and continued, "I just asked the prison guards, and they inexplicably fell asleep about forty minutes ago."

If you were checking on the commercial prisoners on the seventeenth floor, why didn't you wake up those lazy, sleeping guards? And even if the guards are lazy, they won't all be asleep; at least one person will be on duty. You should know that.

"How should I know? I just couldn't bear to wake them up."

"Didn't you notice that the door to Thomas Sindora's room was open? I just checked, his room is near the outside. Where are the commercial criminals you're looking at kept?"
After you left, the loudspeaker immediately went off. The prison guards woke up at that time. Apart from me and Joel, no one else went in or out of the seventeenth floor.

Even when we went in and out, we were always with the prison guards, and the escape was only discovered at that time, so we have a clear alibi!

"."

Kitano Yuji didn't speak; he couldn't explain it.

"There is a police department in Daqi!"

Inspector Megure's expression had turned serious, and Takagi, who had worked with him for a long time, immediately understood what he meant.

Perhaps what the sleeping detective just said was deduction, but what Xia Chuan said was witnessed by a prison guard.

Da Qizhong was also speechless, and the matter was basically settled.

Conan pursed his lips, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Isn't Xia Chuan stealing his thunder?

Just as Inspector Megure was about to wave for Takagi to come forward and arrest the person, the sleeping Kogoro Mouri spoke again.

"Even without the evidence provided by Xia Chuan, you still have no way to escape."

You've probably forgotten, haven't you? In the elevator, when I said I was going to pinch your cheek, you instinctively backed away and made a very obvious movement as if you wanted to pull out a gun.

Conan paused for a moment, seemingly wanting to see how the other party would refute him.

However, it does not.

"If you don't have any problems, why don't we just have a little argument then?"

The appearance of Phantom Thief Kid was purely coincidental. If he hadn't shown up, you probably would have already pulled out a gun and started shooting at us, right?

Conan clicked his tongue a few times in a provocative manner, seemingly responding to his earlier taunts.

Kitano Yuuji remained expressionless. During Mouri Kogoro's deduction, he had observed his surroundings countless times.

At this point, it seems there is no other way but to run away.

Even after removing his disguise, he remained a police inspector in the Metropolitan Police Department.

But so what?
He had absolutely no way of explaining Xia Chuan's question; it was a vicious cycle!
There were dozens of police officers at the scene, it was a rooftop, and there was also Joel glaring at him! Each of these three situations was potentially fatal, but he happened to encounter them all!
Damn!

"Inspector Daqi, I'm sorry!"

Takagi strode over, rolled up his sleeves, and was clearly about to slap his face.

However, how could that be possible!
Kitano Yuujin pretended to raise his hand to indicate that he was at Takagi's mercy, but just as Takagi reached for his face, he grabbed his wrist and hooked his leg behind his knee.

In a flash, his right leg suddenly lost its strength, and when he came to his senses, Takagi found himself captured by his opponent.

A thick arm was tightly gripping his throat, and a cold pistol was pressed against his temple.

"Step back!" Kitano Yuuhito said expressionlessly.

Before Takagi took action, he had already considered countless methods, and it was clear that this method of taking hostages was the most useful for the police.

"Inspector Daqi, stop being so stubborn!"

Inspector Megure, with a stern face, was annoyed that Takagi had been caught off guard and directly apprehended.

We must send him to Instructor Joel for special training later.

However, this just proves that there is indeed a problem with Inspector Daqi, namely the police officer who let Thomas Sindora go!
"Da Qi!"

Inspector Nakamori was utterly astonished. Suspicion was one thing, but when it was confirmed that the other party was indeed the one who released Thomas Cindora, as Natsukawa had claimed, he still found it hard to believe. Just two weeks ago, they had been drinking together!
Xia Chuan calmly watched this scene. Although he was drenched in sweat, he had actually anticipated Kitano Yujin's behavior.

As for why not stop it?

If you stop them, how can you find an opportunity to kill them?
He had already decided on a future for the other person long before they became a code name member.

"Inspector Nakamori, I remember the helicopter for tomorrow has been approved and is parked on the nearby helipad. I'm giving you five minutes to have him come and pick me up, otherwise this officer in my care might not see the sun tomorrow."

"This"

"Nakamori, what are you waiting for!"

Megure was extremely anxious. If someone escapes, they can be caught again, but that's a living, breathing human life!

Joel frowned, head bowed, and remained silent. Only her clenched fists and the slight tremor of dust beneath her feet proved that she was still angry.

"Trying to kill someone in front of me? Impossible!" Conan muttered, exchanging a glance with Natsukawa, and silently searching for a blind spot.

Everyone's attention was focused on Inspector Daiki and the kidnapped Takagi; no one noticed that Conan had stolen a piece of an air conditioner unit.

"Hello~"

"here!"

Conan found a tricky angle, from which Takagi could just see him waving, while Kitano Yuujin's view was conveniently blocked by Takagi's hair.

"what?"

Takagi's mouth opened and closed silently.

His coordination with Conan is still not good enough; he can't understand what Conan means immediately.

Xia Chuan didn't know what to say at this moment, and just watched quietly, because he was also one of Kitano Yujin's targets.

It's a good thing that Conan has found an opportunity.

but
"They should be back by now, right?"

Without moving his head, Xia Chuan looked upwards.

"Sorry, I forgot to leave a notice. I'm not feeling well tomorrow, so we'll reschedule for the day after tomorrow."

Kidd's relaxed and carefree voice came from above, and then Kitano Yujin felt a gust of wind suddenly blow from behind him.

He looked up subconsciously.

"call out--"

A white card was fired from the playing card gun.

The white card cast a white shadow across the dark night sky.

Before Kitano Yuujin could even see the figure of Phantom Thief Kid clearly, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, and the hand that was gripping the pistol involuntarily lost its strength.

"It's now!"

Conan didn't expect Kaito Kid to appear here, but if he didn't act now, when would he?

The power-enhancing shoes kicked the air conditioner unit's remains with force. After a loud clang, the remains turned into a white light and headed towards Kitano Yuujin.

Hearing the sound, Kitano Yuujin turned around and saw the flying afterimage. He immediately grabbed Takagi by the neck and lifted him up, trying to use him as a cushion.

Oops!

Conan never expected Kitano Yuuji to have such a quick reaction, but the arrow had already been released.
Takagi stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a sound, struggling desperately, but due to Kitano Yujin's special technique, he couldn't find any point where he could apply pressure.

However, just as Takagi was in despair, a fist came flying with a strong wind, its speed even greater than the wreckage, and his eyes couldn't even keep up with its trajectory.
