Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"By the way, haven't you and Mori made up yet?"

Eri Kisaki snorted: "I won't go back unless that guy sincerely apologizes to me. You know what kind of person he is. I'd rather live alone."

Inspector Megure said with a forced smile, "You know Mori's personality; he's always been stubborn. You're such a successful lawyer, his career is so much better than his, he must feel some pressure. You've been holding onto that incident, haven't you? His actions back then..."

He meant well, of course, but Eri was preoccupied with Miyazaki Yu's safety and didn't want to listen to this fat police officer's rambling any longer.

"Okay, okay, why are you so long-winded? Honestly, I have something urgent to do right now, and I've explained everything. I need to go to the hospital now."

As she spoke, she quickly left the bank in her high heels, leaving Inspector Megure drenched in sweat.

Looking around, the policewoman had already calmed the girls down. The children were also coaxed into smiling through their tears, happily eating the candy the policewoman had given them.

"Well done! Looks like we can wrap up soon today."

Just then, a scream suddenly rang out.

"what happened?"

The surrounding police officers were taken aback and quickly gathered around.

But then they saw a tall, capable policewoman staring at something on the ground, her eyes filled with horror.

"What happened? Miwako?" Inspector Megure hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, his fat belly jiggle and jiggled.

Policewoman Sato Miwako, who was in shock, finally snapped out of her daze.

"Inspector Megure, look at this..."

Following the policewoman's gaze, Inspector Megure also saw the scene before him and was equally astonished.

As far as the eye could see, there were three Toklev pistols.

This gun has a high muzzle velocity, large muzzle energy, and a small caliber, resulting in extremely strong penetrating power. It can easily penetrate cars and thin brick walls, and can also easily penetrate police bulletproof vests. The latch spring on the side of the gun is the gun's signature feature.

But at this very moment, these three deadly weapons were broken in two and lay on the ground.

He wrapped the broken gun in a handkerchief, picked up one half of the wreckage, and after examining it, he too showed a look of horror.

"This was caused by being split in two by a sharp weapon. But all firearms are made of steel, so what kind of sharp weapon could split them in two so easily?"

Even using a chainsaw blade for cutting wood wouldn't produce such a clean and smooth cut. It's like cutting wood with a sharp knife, but because the wood itself is very hard...

Even with great force, it is difficult to cut wood neatly.

This is similar to cutting fruit with a fruit knife; because the two fruits have a significant difference in hardness, a clean and smooth cut can be achieved.

Suddenly, Eri Kisaki's words came to mind.

"Could it really have been done by that young man? This is simply unbelievable!"

Thinking of this, he quickly gave the order.

"Miwako, quickly go and pull up the bank's surveillance footage!"

It was only then that Miwako Sato realized what was happening, and she hurriedly ran off to negotiate with the bank staff.

Soon enough, the video footage was found.

A dozen or so police officers were gathered around the video camera. Although they already knew the outcome, they were still on tenterhooks when they saw Miyazaki Yu emerge from behind the pillar.

Especially when they heard Miyazaki Yu shout "Attack!", everyone was still sweating bullets for him.

But in the next instant, everyone's vision blurred, and when they saw Miyazaki Yu's figure again, the gun had already fallen to the ground.

The three thugs had already collapsed to the ground.

When they took the criminals away, they also felt something was strange. The criminals were clearly not injured, but they were kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

It was as if they had been frightened by something.

"Slow down the video!"

Takagi Wataru, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and adjusted the video back to before Miyazaki Yu made his move, and then turned on slow motion. Now the video speed was only one-eighth of the original.

Only then did everyone see the other party's actions clearly.

After Eri threw the bamboo knife, he moved with incredible speed, rolled to the side of the leader of the thugs, and used the leader's body to block the view of the other two.

At this moment, he had already caught the bamboo knife and swung it out. Then, using the powerful momentum, he slid out in front of the leader and swung it upwards, creating the illusion of a fleeting moment.

Because from beginning to end, he only made one sword strike, but this sword strike was divided into two parts, and his movements were skillful and fluid, having taken all factors into account.

The distance of the slide and the angle of the strike both made this attack domineering, swift, and flawless!

Chapter Fifteen: After the Hero Saves the Beauty

"This is... this is unbelievable! He actually used a bamboo sword to cut the gun in half, and that was after he was shot! How is that possible!"

Miwako Sato's voice broke the silence around her.

"Although I can't believe it, the facts are right in front of me. When I heard Eri Kisaki recount what happened, I thought that the boy had knocked the gun away with his bamboo sword, which made the thug surrender. But now it seems that's not the case."

"Officer, when I was escorting the criminal into the police car, his body was trembling involuntarily. He was obviously greatly shocked. Judging from the video, the force generated when the bamboo knife hit the pistol was absolutely terrifying."

This caused the perpetrators to tremble, rendering them incapable of continuing their crimes.

Inspector Megure nodded.

"Takagi's account seems to confirm the truth. What a terrifying sword strike! The power of that strike was beyond imagination. If that sword had struck a human body instead of a pistol..."

Although he didn't continue speaking, the police officers present all felt a chill run down their spines. If such terrifying power were to fall on a person, there would only be one outcome: being crushed to pieces!

If steel cannot withstand it, then flesh and blood will certainly be even less able to.

"I never imagined that such a master swordsman would still exist in this day and age!"

Even Inspector Megure couldn't help but show his amazement.

One policeman, who had practiced swordsmanship, was so shocked that he blushed.

"That's it, this must be Inspector Megure. He really is a master swordsman, it has to be! I never thought the legend was true."

Inoue, what's wrong with you?

Seeing his colleague like this, Takagi Wataru hurriedly asked.

"This is steel-cutting! This is the legendary skill of steel-cutting!"

"Steel-cutting?"

Seeing that no one understood what he meant, the police officer became anxious.

"This is a legend that has been passed down from ancient times. It is a unique skill that only great swordsmen in those legends can master. It is possible to cut through steel with a bamboo sword. Only the legendary skill of cutting steel can achieve this!"

However, even in legends, it's a real sword cutting a real sword; I've never heard of a bamboo sword cutting through steel!

Inspector Megure rubbed his stubble-covered chin with his hand.

"A technique that only a great swordsman can master?"

Although his official position was only that of a police inspector, it was a position within the Metropolitan Police Department, which is essentially the central police force in Japan, while local police forces are generally stationed at police stations.

The difference is similar to the difference between officials in the capital and local officials in ancient times.

Therefore, Inspector Megure knows some secrets that others don't.

There are some powerful experts in this world, but most of these experts secretly serve the highest levels of government or even the royal family.

Moreover, they were all extremely arrogant, always keeping to themselves and disdaining to get involved in trivial matters.

Even high-ranking government officials have no right to order them around.

Their relationship with the government is more of a cooperative one.

The power of these people is truly terrifying.

As the old saying goes, "Confucians use their writings to disrupt the law, and knights-errant use their martial arts to break the law."

This is not just empty talk, but a real thing. Just like those superheroes in Marvel, why are they so difficult to manage? It's because their power is just too strong.

People with power become uncontrollable or dislike being controlled.

These people possess considerable fighting power, and the government cannot simply ignore them.

So a tacit understanding was formed later on.

They can provide necessary assistance to the government, and the government tries its best not to restrict their actions, provided that they abide by the law.

Moreover, in order to maintain control, the government naturally tries its best to downplay the presence of these people.

As a result, many powerful figures in ancient legends are now regarded as mythical figures, merely fictional creations of the ancients, rather than actual beings.

He once accompanied Osaka Prefectural Police Chief, Superintendent Hattori Heizo, on a highly secret operation.

It was on that occasion that he had the opportunity to experience a power beyond that of ordinary people, and only then did he begin to re-evaluate the world.

Now, I'm seeing a similar power in a young man.

Although the opponent's strength is still somewhat immature, the opponent is too young!

This is a promising talent; if you can cultivate a good relationship with him, he can definitely be of great use at crucial moments.

After all, murders have been rampant in this city ever since those detectives became active.

I mentally complained a bit.

"Everyone must keep this matter quiet. This young man is clearly a rare genius in swordsmanship. Keeping things from him is a way of protecting him. Do you all understand?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly, especially Inoue, who nodded vigorously.

For him, it was an immense honor to meet such a person in his lifetime, and he still felt a deep sense of awe, so he had no objections.

Inside the hospital, Miyazaki Yu slowly opened her eyes and saw a snow-white ceiling.

All I could smell was the odor of disinfectant, but my nose quickly got used to it and even found it somewhat familiar.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder muscles.

Then I remembered that I had taken the bullets myself and even pulled off a one-for-three trade.

I've never been this reckless in my entire past life. I've always been a law-abiding citizen, but now that I'm in this 'Detective Conan' world, I'm acting like this.

He really wanted to shout, "I'm super brave!"

At that time, he was naturally not afraid. Anyone would feel fear when faced with a dark gun barrel pointed at them for the first time.
