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

That's why Officer Mu was so happy.

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly, but then sighed.

"That guy was indeed very troublesome. I saw him trying to kill a female security guard, so I took action and knocked him down. He was very strong, so I guessed that he was no ordinary person. Now it seems that my judgment was correct."

However, based on the information we have now, this so-called research institution also has significant problems. It is equipped with a considerable number of armed personnel, and the female security guard I rescued also took the opportunity to escape. All of this indicates that this research institution also has serious issues.

Inspector Megure was certainly aware of this as well.

"On the surface, this so-called pharmaceutical research institute was very well hidden, but now it has been exposed. However, the people who built this place obviously made thorough preparations. With the fire so big, by the time it is brought under control, I'm afraid everything of value will have been burned to ashes."

"Pharmaceutical facilities?"

Upon hearing this keyword, Conan's ears perked up, and he immediately thought of the Black Organization that used drugs to turn him into a child.

He thought to himself, "This pharmaceutical facility might be the secret base of those black-clad organizations. They're using it as a cover while secretly carrying out illegal activities, such as researching banned drugs here!"

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth inwardly.

"I never expected to discover their whereabouts at a time like this. The attackers are obviously enemies of that organization. Is it a gang fight? Perhaps it is, only on a larger and more brutal scale. I hope that some clues can be preserved here."

At this moment, both Officer Takagi and Officer Sato ran over to give a report.

"Inspector Megure, the fire department has arrived and the fire started immediately. The search is complete. Those armed men were clearly prepared. After discovering the police's actions, they left and withdrew without engaging in a direct confrontation with us. However, we were unable to capture them, and they escaped."

Officer Takagi reported the incident with a look of resentment on his face.

Inspector Megure comforted them, "There's nothing we can do about it. From what we can see now, these people are internationally wanted mercenaries, powerful forces capable of confronting regular armies head-on. You can't stop them. Even if you did, with our police firepower, you would only suffer heavy losses."

After I got back, I immediately applied to the military for their assistance in finding the whereabouts of these mercenaries.

This was the best arrangement under the current circumstances, and both Officer Takagi and Miwako Sato could only nod in agreement.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu suddenly spoke up: "Inspector Megure, tonight's capture of Kevin was entirely thanks to your police force. I've never been involved before. I hope you'll remember that."

Chapter 181 The Miyano Sisters' Waiting (3rd Update!)

"Why, Miyazaki-kun? I was actually thinking of applying for an award for you."

Miyazaki Yu sighed and said, "Inspector Megure, if it were just me, I would receive a commendation and a large reward, which would naturally be best if I didn't."

But judging from tonight's events, the attackers belong to a large organization, and even this research institute is probably of extraordinary origin. If I take credit for this and get commended by the police, my troubles will be endless.

Of course I'm not afraid. These people are no match for me.

However, I can't ignore the people around me. If they find me difficult to deal with, they might turn against those around me. I don't want anything to happen to the people I care about.

"Xiaoyu..."

Hearing Miyazaki Yu's words, Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat.

"Was he willing to forgo the credit for the sake of those around him? Xiaoyu is so thoughtful."

Ran felt a surge of emotion and couldn't help but compare Miyazaki Yu and Kudo Shinichi. If Kudo Shinichi were in this situation, what would he do?

He probably wouldn't want any reward; he's never liked rewards. He simply enjoys the feeling of solving cases.

However, he rarely abandons the pursuit of cases and the truth for the safety of those around him. Although he is very upright and admirable, as a girl, the scales in her heart cannot help but continue to tip towards Miyazaki Yu.

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will only mention these things in internal reports and will not publicize them. You can rest assured about that. And you should also have faith in the police. We will definitely continue to investigate."

Miyazaki Yu also smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

The fire trucks finally arrived and began to fight the fire. However, the research institute stored a lot of chemical materials, which were extremely difficult to extinguish once they caught fire. The fire brigade mobilized more than a dozen fire trucks, and with the help of nearby fire hydrants, they finally managed to suppress the flames. The fire was not extinguished until late at night.

Once it was confirmed that there would be no reignition, police officers began searching for any remaining traces. However, as expected, the fire was simply too large, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

Miyazaki Yu said apologetically to Ran, "I'm so sorry, Ran. We came out to have fun, but I never expected this to happen."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "It's okay. I've encountered many things like this since I was a child."

Seeing the girl's nonchalant attitude, Miyazaki felt a pang of heartache.

There are many ugly things in this world that he can't stop, but he hopes that these dark things will just rot in the shadows, and that a girl like Xiaolan, who is like an angel, will never have to see them.

This is all Shinichi Kudo's fault! Cases happen wherever he goes. He's definitely possessed by the Grim Reaper!

But things are different now. With her own protector, Xiaolan's world might be a little better, at least she won't encounter any danger anymore.

It was already late, and Ran hadn't finished eating yet, so he took Ran and Conan, who was always following him around, home and then personally cooked a sumptuous dinner.

Rena had already fallen asleep after being comforted by her mother, but when she smelled the aroma of food, she got up and insisted on going over to eat with Conan, which made Conan very annoyed.

However, his attention was more focused on what had happened today. His intuition told him that this matter was far-reaching and that there might be a chance to find out more about it later.

Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story. At this moment, in a newly renovated dojo, the Miyano sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Miyazaki Yu has a deep affection for this place, and has decorated it very exquisitely. Moreover, the refrigerator in the house is also stocked with a lot of food.

Both of them were very hungry, so Akemi Miyano went straight to the kitchen and cooked several dishes. The two sisters ate and drank their fill, and this time they truly recovered.

"I never imagined that so many things would happen in just one day. It's unbelievable."

Shiho Miyano sighed. Just a day ago, she was working for the Black Organization. Although she was worried and anxious, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Because of Shuichi Akai, the older sister was suspected by the organization and suffered a lot of difficulties.

All of this left the girl feeling very conflicted, unsure of what to do. The two sisters cared for and worried about each other, like two ends of a barbell; the loss of either one would cause the other to lose balance and be the heaviest blow to the other.

So in the end, the two could only grit their teeth and carefully maintain their fragile balance.

However, the world is too unpredictable. In a short period of time, the research institute vanished, and the Black Organization suffered a heavy blow.

"You're right. Even now, I still find it hard to believe that we've actually escaped the organization's sight at the same time. Ah, the air of freedom is truly intoxicating."

The tremor that Akemi Miyano felt today was greater than that she had felt in the previous ten years or so.

Even now, things haven't completely calmed down.

"I never imagined that there would be such a person in this world. Those vicious mercenaries are all very powerful characters, but in his hands, they are as weak and powerless as fragile babies. It really makes one curious about what kind of person he is."

The best thing about the two of them is Miyazaki Hayao.

Just when the sisters were at their most desperate, he appeared before them like a god descending to earth, tearing away all the darkness, leaving the two women unable to calm down for a long time.

Over the next few days, the two women stayed there, but Miyazaki Yu did not show up, which made them both anxious.

The Black Organization must be searching for the sisters right now, and they dare not leave this place, as they risk being discovered if they go outside.

Fortunately, the food supplies here were plentiful, which prevented the two from going hungry. However, Miyazaki Yu's continued absence made the two women even more uneasy.

"What exactly does this person mean? He told us to hide here, but he won't show himself. What does he want to do?"

Hearing her sister's complaints, Miyano Akemi also sighed.

"Zhibao, don't worry, there's plenty of food here, we won't go hungry for now. Let's wait a while longer, and if he still doesn't show up, I'll go to his house. We know where he lives."

After hearing her sister's comforting words, Shiho Miyano finally relaxed.

"Sister is right. Humph, we know where he lives anyway. We can just go to his house. He talks a good game but then just abandons us. When I see this guy, I'm going to make him give me an explanation."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"It seems I was careless and upset you two. But I haven't been idle these past few days; I've done quite a bit, especially something that concerns your lives."

Chapter 182 An Absolutely Safe Place

"It's you?"

The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person who came was Miyazaki Yu.

"You bastard, why did you dump us here and then just leave us like this? Do you know how scared we've been these past few days?!"

Shiho Miyano's personality is calm yet tinged with arrogance, but when she vents her dissatisfaction, she does so with a coquettish tone, like an angry girlfriend complaining about her late boyfriend.

After saying that, the girl immediately realized that her tone was too strange, like she was being coquettish. Her pretty face flushed red and she immediately stopped talking.

Miyazaki Yu smiled dismissively.

"I'm so sorry, I had no choice. I promised you sisters that I would find you a completely safe place to live. Although this place is very secluded, it can't be called a completely safe place."

I'm referring to another place, of course, but it's a very desolate place. I've hired a construction team, and they're working hard to build it, but it will still take some time before it's truly habitable.

After hearing Miyazaki Yu's explanation, the two sisters were finally relieved.

Shiho Miyano became curious: "Given your abilities, you shouldn't be lying to us, but what exactly is this absolutely safe place you're talking about?"

Miyazaki Yu curled the corners of her lips and uttered three words.

"The Sword Masters' Gathering!"

Then he began to explain what exactly this so-called absolutely safe place was.

After hearing his explanation, the two sisters finally understood.

"I see. The absolutely safe place you mentioned is the exclusive territory that the Sword Master Association has allocated to you. It really is an absolutely safe place."

Both sisters were intelligent and quickly understood the reason.

Although he didn't know about the existence of the Sword Masters Association before, he could tell from Miyazaki Hayao's description just how powerful the Sword Masters Association was.

This is almost an organization that transcends the world, a terrifying entity that has existed for thousands of years.

Even the government is very wary of the Sword Masters Association. A series of government actions show that the reason why the government grants the Sword Masters Association so many privileges is to restrict these sword masters.

Instead, the gentlest method was used!

Your pursuit is sword practice, so I will provide you with convenience. You like to be undisturbed, which is also fine. Then the government will designate a special area as your territory.

The ultimate goal is to keep these powerful swordsmen in one place, preferably never to come out again.

Apart from the government and the Kendo Association's top officials, very few people actually know the location of the Sword Masters' headquarters.

Moreover, unless someone is completely out of their mind, no one would easily provoke such a group of incredibly powerful individuals.

The government also wanted the existence of the Sword Masters to be as little known as possible. Nominally, that area was designated as a military restricted zone, so apart from members of the Sword Masters, basically no one would enter or leave.

From this perspective, that area is not only extremely secluded, but also protected by powerful military forces and the government, making it arguably the most perfect hiding place.

"That's great, sister! If we're there, we can hide from the organization's pursuit. As long as things calm down completely, we can start a new life!"

The thought of having the opportunity to start a completely new life made the two of them unable to hold back their tears any longer, and they began to hug each other and cry.

Crying is often just an emotional release, not a sign of weakness.
