Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Worrying about the country's future and questioning the Metropolitan Police Department's capabilities have now become standard rhetoric for Beika citizens, and Shiratori and his team are somewhat immune to it: "Sorry, Mr. Ishitani, we only have reasonable suspicions, and we are currently preparing to collect evidence to help you clear your name."

Masahiko Ishitani sneered: "That sounds nice, what do you mean by helping me clear my name? It's clearly just to avoid being investigated yourself, and you're just having someone else investigate you."

Shiratori didn't explain much. He waved his hand, and his men immediately began inspecting the shop.

However, seeing Ishitani Masahiko's furious expression, Shiratori felt somewhat uncertain.

Because Masahiko Ishitani's behavior from the moment we met until now has been too perfect.

The main problem is that Masahiko Ishitani's excuse of never leaving the store is easily exposed and logically too weak.

Although Shiratori said that the fact that the bomb didn't hit anyone might be due to good luck, the actual situation and the on-site investigation, including Mitsuhiko's stolen camera, all indicate that the perpetrator was likely in the vicinity of the crime scene beforehand.

Of course, this could also be a smokescreen deliberately set up by the criminal to distance himself from the case.

Or perhaps Masahiko Ishitani had accomplices.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department typically encounters only a handful of prisoners with this kind of mental fortitude each year.

Although the proportion of "high-quality prisoners" has recently increased in the vicinity of Beika Town.

However, most prisoners panic when the police come to their door with evidence, or they kneel on the ground to repent.

Just as Shiratori Ninzaburo and his men were halfway through the search, he received an unexpected phone call.

It was Inspector Megure calling, saying that Nuku had deduced who the culprit was. Inspector Megure also told Shiratori the possible locations of the culprit and the subsequent operation plan before hurriedly hanging up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from the phone receiver, Shiratori Ninzaburo was somewhat incredulous.

Did he lose again this time?

That's impossible. We clearly arranged so many people to investigate along the way, and even used the power of the family to give the investigation the green light all the way.

How could I possibly lose to that brat Wen Shui and Shu?

Most importantly, Shiratori still can't understand how Numizu came up with the idea that the criminal wanted to rob the post office.

Just then, Shiratori received another call from his subordinates, informing him that another explosion had occurred at the scene of the phone booth bombing.

Kazuki Onami was injured by the bomb and is currently being taken to the nearest hospital, Beika. It's said that Miwako Sato's car was also damaged in the blast.

After hanging up the phone, Shiratori frowned as he looked at the clown dolls on the shelf.

This seems to be a bit troublesome.

Of course, Shiratori wasn't worried about being defeated by Wen Shui in this case. He wasn't a brat like Shinichi Kudo, so losing once or twice wouldn't matter.

Born into a wealthy and powerful family, he learned a lesson from a young age: no matter how much you win in the past, you could lose everything if you lose just once.

Shiratori Ninzaburo was worried about Wen Shui being injured by the bomb.

Previously, Sato Miwako had been in a depressed state for a long time because her new recruit "Matsuda Jinpei," whom she had only been training for a few days, was killed by a bomb while defusing a bomb during an operation.

Matsuda Jinpei had only known Miwako for less than a week.

Even Shiratori Ninzaburo had to admit that, compared to Nukumizu, Matsuda Jinpei's position in Sato Miwako's heart was far inferior.

Shiratori Ninzaburo was genuinely worried that if Nukumi died in front of Miwako, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Of course, Shiratori Ninzaburo was also very worried about Wen Shuiping coming out of the hospital unharmed.

From the perspective of a love rival, Kazuki Nukumizu, who has been through the "bomb incident," possesses an almost unshakeable power in front of Miwako Sato.

Because I understand Miwako Sato's personality very well.

Even Shiratori Ninzaburo, a young master from a wealthy family, felt somewhat helpless.

Masahiko Ishitani, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally found an opportunity to make a sarcastic remark: "It seems that our excellent detective has gone in the wrong direction."

Shiratori's expression turned even uglier.

However, his good upbringing allowed him to suppress his anger and smile, saying, "That's inevitable, uncle. Reality is different from what's shown in TV dramas. Detectives actually find the murderer through luck and tedious investigations."

Masahiko Ishitani snorted coldly.

Shiratori: "Harada, Toshio, we have a new mission. Let's not disturb Mr. Ishitani Masahiko's business."

The two detectives whose names were called put down the cardboard boxes they were holding.

Shiratori said to Mr. Ishitani with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ishitani, we have to rush to the next location to handle a case. We'll have to ask you to tidy up the mess here. And please keep our secret."

Masahiko Ishitani waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly: "I know, I know... get out of my sight right now."

Shiratori Ninzaburo and his men came out of the shop.

Then he told his subordinates and the detectives guarding outside to prevent Ishitani from escaping, the information he had just received from Inspector Megure.

According to Wen Shui's speculation, the perpetrator planted the bomb simply to attract the police's attention and make them mistake him for an extreme sports fan, but his real purpose was to rob a post office far from the celebration parade site.

Because it was uncertain when the perpetrators would arrive.

Inspector Megure has already led a group of men disguised as post office staff to stake out the scene.

The remaining people were assigned to search for the mail truck parked in a secluded corner of Beika Town. Shiratori and his group were also tasked with finding the mail truck.

Harada was somewhat indignant: "That kid, Wenshui and Shu, are you just guessing? How much cash could a post office possibly have? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to rob it?"

“You wouldn’t believe it,” another officer said. “The post office handles a large sum of cash the day before the 5th and 10th of every month.”

Harada: "How do you know so much?"

"There's a post office right downstairs from my apartment..."

Shiratori interrupted the discussion: "Stop talking nonsense and split up quickly. Report to me immediately if you spot any suspicious targets. If we want to get revenge, we have to catch those robbers before that Wen Shui kid does."

"Yes, mission accomplished!"

The detectives got into their cars and took down the police lights that were originally on the roof.

Because the gang of criminals may still be holding post office staff hostage, and if they are discovered, it could make the rescue more difficult.

.

Let's rewind to when Wen Shui was lifted onto the patrol car.

Warm water was placed on the back seat. After being shaken by the shockwave of the bomb, he felt that his internal organs were somewhat dislocated and his mind was dizzy.

The young police officer who carried him into the car also sat in the back seat.

After the car door closed, the patrol car sped toward the nearby hospital at a speed that would not affect the victims in the back seat as much as possible.

But not long after driving off, Wen Shui regretted it.

I forgot to tell Sato Miwako the results of the case investigation. Although Conan was also investigating the case, Wen Shui was still a little worried that his appearance would cause the timeline to go wrong, preventing the gang of thugs from robbing the post office.

He couldn't let those thugs escape overseas; that would make it too difficult to find them later. He had to catch them in Beika Town.

I almost got blown up by those bastards' bomb under the car today, so how could Wen Shui let them off so easily?

If it's just robbery, the sentence shouldn't be too long.

After the verdict is handed down, he will try to find Vermouth to "do justice for the people" and eliminate those bastards who are affecting the safety of Mika from the world.

At this moment, the young detective named Sasaki, who was sitting next to him, asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you need me to press on your wound?"

Detective Sasaki probably thought that before the warm water was poured, Sato Miwako had already given him first aid, and that there were no visible wounds under his clothes.

Wen Shui shook her head: "I have no wounds."

Detective Sasaki paused for a moment, then his expression became even more sympathetic.

The most common injury in an explosion is being pierced by shrapnel, but the most serious injury is actually being unable to stand up even without any wounds.

Because it's very likely that internal organs have been injured.

Even if they survive the subsequent treatment and rescue, they will suffer from the most sequelae.

Detective Sasaki: "I see. Then try not to move around too much. If you feel sleepy, you can call your family."

Wen Shui didn't explain much, but instead took out her phone to tell Sato Miwako the result of her reasoning.

However, he experiences chest pain when speaking, so he has opted for the less convenient method of sending text messages.

This scene led Detective Sasaki to believe that Nuku was making his final arrangements, or perhaps confessing his feelings to the girl he liked before he died...

To respect the victim's privacy, Detective Sasaki turned his face away, looking at the scenery rushing past the window.

Even the detective driving the car couldn't help but sigh.

Wenshui quickly edited the reasoning behind the case and prepared to send it to Sato Miwako.

However, after clicking several times, it kept showing "Send failed".

He then noticed that the information icon in the upper right corner of the screen was missing. After checking, it seemed that he couldn't make phone calls either.

I removed the battery and restarted the phone with warm water, only to find that the screen went black and the phone wouldn't turn on.

Could it have been damaged during the explosion?

Wen Shui had no choice but to look at the police officer next to her: "Um, my phone is broken, could I borrow it for a moment?"

Detective Sasaki: "Okay, do you need me to help you type it in?"

"No need, I can do it myself."

Wen Shui smiled, but after taking the phone, he realized that he hadn't memorized Sato Miwako's number. In fact, the only number Wen Shui could remember was the secret number he used to contact Haibara Ai.

But that was carried so that it would be convenient to communicate with each other in the event of a surprise attack by the Black Organization.

Wen Shui scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Um... do you have Sato Miwako's phone number?"

"You want to confess your feelings to Officer Sato... uh, no, I mean send him a text message?" Officer Sasaki looked surprised.

Wen Shui nodded: "Yes."

Sasaki was even more shocked: "Huh, aren't you the victim that Sato-senpai picked up on the roadside?"

Chapter 199 Kissing, then being cornered by Xiaolan in the hospital room

"Yes, Miwako and I are old friends."

While enduring the aftereffects of her concussion, Wen Shui forced a smile, but inwardly she couldn't help but grumble.

Doesn't my image have even a hint of the tender-hearted tough guy who risks his life to remove a bomb from a car in order to protect the car of a close female friend he cares about, and gets injured in the process?

However, Wen Shui thought about it again and realized that it was normal for the young detective named Sasaki to be shocked.
