I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 267 Inspector Nakamori in the Emergency Room

As night deepened, many things had happened in Hakodate City during the day.

However, everything revolves around a crucial juncture.

That was the secret treasure left behind by Keizaburo Tokie, the first head of the Tokie Zaibatsu. Various forces gathered in Hakodate City, and even clashed several times, risking everything, with the goal of taking the secret treasure left behind by Keizaburo Tokie.

However, the most injured party in this conflict was not any of the other factions.

Instead, it was a girl who should have had no connection to this incident.

"What on earth is going on...?"

Nakamori Aoko stood outside the hospital's emergency room, her voice choked with emotion.

In the morning, Conan and a famous detective from Kansai were investigating the whereabouts of the Pentagram Treasure when they were chased by a group of yakuza members in a high-speed car chase and nearly lost their lives. However, they followed the guidance left by Kaito Kid.

The police eventually focused their investigation on Takuzo Fukie, the third-generation head of the Fukie Zaibatsu.

However, the officers at the Hakodate Police Headquarters didn't dare to arrest this local tyrant of Hakodate City.
Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo volunteered and persuaded Inspector Megure to join Inspector Nishimura Kyohei of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters in the arrest operation. However, during the operation...

Ginzo Nakamori noticed the reflection of a sniper scope in the distance and, disregarding the danger to his life, pushed Takuzo Axe away, but was shot himself.

Ultimately, this led to Takuzo Axe escaping police capture in the chaos, while Ginzo Nakamori himself was seriously injured and rushed to the hospital's emergency room for treatment. Aoko Nakamori had received the information and flew to Hakodate City, and had just arrived outside the emergency room.

"Don't cry, Aoko, everything will be alright."

Nakamori Ginzo's wife, Nakamori Aoko, patted her daughter's back, hoping this would make Nakamori Aoko feel a little better. As one of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office's renowned prosecutors...

Aoko Nakamori's reasoning and investigative abilities surpass, if not surpass, those of Ginzo Nakamori.

In fact, Nakamori Aoko almost caused Kaito Kid to crash and burn on her first attempt. For Kaito Kid, Nakamori Aoko was obviously a more troublesome opponent than Nakamori Ginzo, but this is not the center of the story.

She didn't come to be an enemy of Kaito Kid; she was simply visiting Nakamori Ginzo with her daughter.

Seeing the scene before him,
Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, Superintendent General Hakuba wanted Ginzo Nakamori to immediately return to Tokyo and resume his duties. However, this matter was far more complicated, and the Hokkaido Police Headquarters requested that officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department assist in the investigation.

Superintendent General Hakuba then agreed to allow Ginzo Nakamori to represent the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in assisting Kyohei Nishimura in arresting Takuzo Onoe.

Now that this has happened, Superintendent General Hakuba's face will probably turn as black as the bottom of a pot when he finds out.

At this point, Superintendent General Hakuba is unlikely to continue pursuing the responsibility of Ginzo Nakamori for bringing a group of investigators from the Second Investigation Division to Tokyo, as Nakamori was injured on the job and has not yet been brought back from the brink of death.

It's impossible to hold Nakamori Ginzo's superiors responsible, since Chaki Shintaro's ward is right next door.

Next, the Second Investigation Division truly put him, a complete novice in the First Investigation Division who specialized in criminal cases, in full charge. Fortunately, his task was to assist the Hokkaido Police Headquarters in arresting Takuzo Onoe.

Instead of catching the Phantom Thief Kid who stole the famous sword from the Fuezai Group,

Inspector Megure, however, felt that he should be capable of handling the task.

"Oh, Mori, I really need your help this time."

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh again, turning to look at Kogoro Mouri beside him.

The nationally renowned, sleeping detective nodded solemnly at this moment. ———— Kogoro Mouri could not possibly stand idly by while Ginzo Nakamori was shot right under his nose.

Moreover, the entire city of Hakodate is gradually descending into chaos.
Even if it's just because of his friendship with Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mouri has to help him out.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has now left the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
In fact, Kogoro Mouri assisted the police in arrest operations on several occasions after leaving his job.

He even went undercover several times.
Assisting the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in arresting Takuzo Onoe was just a routine matter for him.

"By the way, Mori-kun, what are you going to say to Ran?"

Inspector Megure then brought up Ran Mouri's matter.
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched.
He didn't have any good ideas about his daughter either, and he had originally planned to persuade Xiaolan to fly back home.

After all, the victory celebration in Hakodate City is now canceled, and the tour has been cancelled due to the investigation of Shinjo Isao and the death of Maki Juri.
Staying in Hakodate City will bring you nothing but danger.

However, after hearing that he was going to stay in Hakodate to assist the police investigation, Xiaolan said that she would also stay here until he finished his work, and then the three of them would go back together happily.

"There's nothing I can do... I can't persuade her either, and neither can Eri."

"Sigh, they're all such a worry."

Kogoro Mouri sighed and said,

His conversation with Inspector Megure was overheard by the officers on duty outside the emergency room.

In fact, the real identity of this police officer on duty is none other than Phantom Thief Kid.

Kaito Kuroba never expected that this everyday moment would reveal a piece of information to Ginzo Nakamori.

I tried to save my father-in-law's job, but it ended up sending him to the ICU for emergency treatment.

Whenever he thought of this, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted.
He never imagined things would develop in this direction.

It must be admitted that he does bear some responsibility for this.
If he had noticed Brian D. Mencang's appearance earlier and taken out his sniper rifle in time, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Kaito Kuroba watched Aoko crying before his eyes.
He gradually clenched his fist.

If his initial intention in staying in Hakodate was simply to resolve the incident in the same way his father, Kuroba Toichi, did, now his goal is to bring Brian and the entire group of mercenaries Brian brought with him to justice.

As a phantom thief, this might sound a bit ridiculous.

But this is indeed Kaito Kuroba's true inner thought.
Now, his father, Kuroba Toichi, is still tracking down the whereabouts of the dead merchant, Monkura. After confirming the situation of Nakamori Ginzo and Aoko here, it's time for him to go and help.

"Inspector Nishimura Kyōhei has already set off to investigate the underground yakuza situation in Hakodate City."

“We will investigate the situation of the companies under the Tokie Zaibatsu. If Tokie Takuzo had the idea of ​​fleeing Hakodate City after obtaining the treasure, then he would definitely transfer assets, and it would be impossible for him not to leave any traces.”

Kogoro Mouri analyzed,

He turned and left with Inspector Megure, but then suddenly remembered something and was about to turn back to say a few words to the officer on duty when he discovered that the officer had disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, Kogoro Mouri felt a chill run down his spine.
What... what happened? How could a perfectly healthy person just disappear like that?!
