Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 674 The charge is suspected obstruction of police investigation!
Without a second thought, Conan already knew that the kidnapper who was lying in wait inside the door had been kicked away by him, and the sound he had just heard was the sound of the kidnapper hitting the wall.

Xia Chuan peeked inside, then turned and gave Conan a strange look.

"Hmm, what does that expression mean?"

Conan, unaware of what was going on, approached the door and no one stopped him.

But when he tried to enter the room, he was stopped by the other police officers who kept him outside, allowing only Xia Chuan and Yuri to enter.

"Natsukawa, what's going on? Why is Yuri and your Public Security Bureau here too? Does Shinmei Nittaro's novel threaten national security?"

They watched TV together that evening and became quite familiar with each other, so Kogoro Mouri immediately asked a question.

Yuri did not answer, but went straight to the bed.

Xia Chuan shrugged helplessly: "This matter involves a secret, and the Public Security Bureau's confidentiality procedures are stricter than those of the Metropolitan Police Department. Mr. Mori, please don't ask about this anymore."

Conan was about to use his size advantage to enter the room when he was immediately grabbed by the police officer on guard at the door: "Kid, last time you sneaked out, I was punished for several days. Don't even think about it this time!"

"I'm so sorry!"

Conan's deadpan eyes nearly popped out, but he was helpless and could only wait sourly at the door.

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived late.

Because Kazami Yuya below had already been knocked unconscious, the police guarding the elevator above assumed it was Yuri's doing and did not stop others from coming up.

"Brother Mori, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Given Kogoro Mouri's personality, he would never obediently stay at the door; who knows what kind of strange wind is blowing today.

However, he didn't pay any attention and went straight into the room.

"Sorry, please wait at the entrance!" the police officer said curtly.

"???"

After decades as a police officer, this was the first time Inspector Megure had been stopped at the entrance of a crime scene.

"Who are you? I am Inspector Megure Juzo of the Third Division of the First Investigative Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. We received a report that we suspect a kidnapping has occurred here. Please move aside."

His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, clearly indicating that he was somewhat angry.

Inspector Megure flashed his badge and raised his hand to push the other man's arm away, but the arm was like an iron pipe, standing straight across the doorway, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

"Inspector Megure, them..."

"Hey, Mori, don't say anything yet!"

Inspector Megure waved his hand to signal Mori to shut up. His already bad mood suddenly turned sour, and his face turned red and his neck thickened.

"Takagi, arrest him and take him back for questioning. The charge is obstructing a police investigation!"

He could accept Kogoro Mouri entering the crime scene, since the other party respected the Metropolitan Police Department, would call the police immediately, and would help solve the case.

But now, things have gotten out of hand. He didn't even investigate the fact that someone entered the room before the police, yet the other party dared to stop him at the door. This is truly like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu or building a trap in front of Lu Ban!
"Sorry, you don't have that right!"

The police officers grabbed Officer Takagi's wrists and handcuffed his hands.

Officer Takagi was startled. In the blink of an eye, the handcuffs were on him. His technique was incredibly skilled!

He quickly pulled out his keys and unlocked his handcuffs. Before he could do anything else, he heard Xia Chuan's voice.

"Inspector Megure, you've come too?"

"Natsukawa?" Inspector Megure peered inside, looking puzzled. "Weren't you at the hospital? What are you doing here?"

The doctor said Xia Chuan would be hospitalized for two days, so how could he be here? Also, does Xia Chuan's presence inside mean he knows the gatekeeper in black?

Was it his order for the other person to guard the gate? Is he from the IRS?

But even if they are from the IRS, isn't this a bit too arrogant? They are the police, the real law enforcement agency!
The series of questions fueled Inspector Megure's anger, and he looked at Natsukawa with a hostile expression.

He couldn't help but complain, "Brother Natsukawa, what exactly happened? Did your National Tax Agency arrest and investigate Shinmei Nittaro for kidnapping?"

What is this?

Xia Chuan smiled helplessly, walked out of the room, and began to explain to the others.

"The police have run into a tricky case, and the person in charge is Joel's brother, so I came to help."

"what!?"

Inspector Megure, with his beady eyes, pointed at the public security police and then at Natsukawa: "I remember Instructor Joel saying that her brother works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How did he suddenly get involved with the public security police?"

"Shh, this is what we say to outsiders. After all, the Public Security Bureau is easily targeted by powerful terrorists, so Joel hasn't said anything. Inspector Megure, don't tell anyone, or I won't be able to explain it to Joel."

"Understood." Inspector Megure wasn't ignorant; he naturally knew how dangerous the criminals the police faced were. They were all troublemakers who could endanger national security and were prone to retaliating against entire families.

"But then again, what's the story behind this case? Does it involve national security?"

"Yes and no."

Xia Chuan paused for a few seconds before continuing, "It's just that there's a case that's somewhat similar to the plot of a novel that Mr. Niina Nittaro published a month ago, so I came here."

"Unfortunately."

"What are you shaking your head for? Tell me what's going on!" Kogoro Mouri was full of questions: "Is the kidnapper a suspect in the police investigation?"

Natsukawa and Yuri have been in the room for a while now, but there hasn't been a sound. It's possible that the kidnappers left beforehand. They should have let Kogoro Mouri in!
"And what about my father? How is he?"

Shinmei Kaori asked anxiously.

Her father was inside, but she was stuck outside the door; it was an agonizing feeling.

coming!

Xia Chuan's eyes narrowed, but his expression remained perfectly normal: "When we went in just now, your father was already on his deathbed. We didn't even get a chance to speak with him before he died!"

"what?"

Shinmei Kaori's pupils contracted sharply, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what expression to wear.

"Damn kidnappers, how could they do such a thing!" Kogoro Mouri stepped forward to comfort him, while also angrily scolding him, "Brother Natsukawa, have the kidnappers escaped? Tell me your clues, I, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, will definitely bring them to justice!"

Xia Chuan shook his head with a wry smile: "Actually, there are no kidnappers. It was all a joke by Mr. Shinmei Nittaro. Mrs. Shinmei and the attending physician are still inside. Miss Shinmei, go in and see your father one last time."

He gently patted the other person's shoulder, as if to comfort them.

Shinmei Kaori nodded blankly, then walked into the room.

Xia Chuan did not follow her inside, but stood at the door.

"Inspector Megure, I heard about what happened tonight. It's really too much trouble for you. Anya can be a bit unreliable sometimes."

"No way, you're a good friend of our Metropolitan Police Department no matter what, this is nothing."

That's what they say, but Inspector Megure was definitely not happy.
