Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

Money, money, money—money again.

Is this guy obsessed with money?

Fūya Rei's face darkened.

His skin was already darker than most people's, and now it looked even darker.

Yuya Kazami, who was standing next to Rei Furuya, was accustomed to this situation. He simply pulled the general manager aside to persuade him - under normal circumstances, the Japanese public security has the power to conduct security inspections.

But unfortunately, the Emperor's Cup can be held at the Tokyo National Stadium. Is the power of security inspection a little insufficient?

Unlike Rei Furuya, who changed his career halfway and was transferred to the front line of Zero Group for promotion.

Kazami Yuya knew how terrible the reputation of the Japanese Public Security Bureau was in the outside world————

Ordinary civilians simply called them secret police, and those who wanted to use a more unpleasant name simply called them spies. It can be said that if the prosecutors of the Ministry of Public Security had not been able to find some ground in Tokyo, they might have been directly kicked out and had to seek revenge from their superiors.

Moreover, it is not just civilians who keep their distance from Japanese police, but even dislike them.

Even the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department had an extremely bad attitude towards the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Shiratori Jinzaburo was very unhappy with them before. If they were not there to take the blame for the Criminal Department, there would probably be a fight on the spot.

"Hey……"

Fūya Rei shook his head and leaned on the railing nearby.

He knew this matter was difficult to handle, and Kazami Yuya estimated that at best he could convince the general manager to conduct a certain degree of inspection of the backstage of the Tokyo National Stadium during rehearsal time.

"Hey, did you hear? The prosecutor is back!"

"Oh... Is that the prosecutor who took down the Red Devil Group? They asked him to stay out of the spotlight, but now that the Kanto Alliance has calmed down after being manipulated by the urban legend, they've transferred him back?"

Two Japanese public security officers who were stopped outside were chatting, which attracted the attention of Rei Furuya.

Furuya Rei moved closer and asked.

"Which prosecutor are you talking about? A prosecutor from the Ministry of Public Security, right?"

There were several different emotions in his voice.

After hearing what Fūya Rei said, the two police officers looked at each other and then spoke in unison.

"Yes, of course it's the prosecutor from the Ministry of Public Security! She's the ace prosecutor of the Ministry of Public Security, just as well-known as Prosecutor Kujo Reiko, who can go against Tokyo's undefeated lawyer, Eri Kisaki—"

"Prosecutor Kusakabe!"

Prosecutor Kusakabe, also known as Kusakabe Makoto.

Furuya Rei subconsciously turned around and sighed again. He finally understood why a prosecutor could destroy an entire violent organization. It would not be surprising if it was Kusakabe Makoto.

Because Kusakabe Makoto is a restless prosecutor of the Ministry of Public Security.

Normally, prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security would prosecute whoever the Japanese Public Security Bureau told them to prosecute, but Makoto Kusakabe insisted on making his own judgments and investigations, and even secretly developed his own informants.

The reason why the Akagi Group was defeated by Kusakabe Makoto was probably because Kusakabe Makoto sent his own informants into the Akagi Group as undercover agents.

Furuya Rei knows quite a bit about Kusakabe Makoto's informant——

Because, Kusakabe Makoto's informant was later captured and brought out by him personally, and then... died in the interrogation room.

At least the public statement was that he died in the interrogation room.

"What a troubled time."

Fūya Rei felt a bit of a headache.

Why did Kusakabe Makoto return to Tokyo at this time? I guess there will be another uproar over Yan Shuangying's matter. I don't know what will become of Beika Town next...

Meanwhile, at the station in Beika-cho.

A meticulously dressed man in a suit stepped off the train.

If Furuya Rei were here, he would definitely be able to recognize this man's true identity at a glance——

The ace prosecutor of the Ministry of Public Security, Makoto Kusakabe.

(Kusakabe Makoto, the boss of the movie "Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer", is good at using the legendary ninjutsu "Tenkai Zhenxing", because he actually made a satellite fall and hit the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.)

"Xiaolan, hurry up, hurry up!"

The girl's voice sounded not far away.

Makoto Kusakabe turned his head and looked at the situation over there.

I saw a brown-haired girl wearing a headband urging a girl with a peculiar hairstyle. They both looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, probably high school students.

Behind the two girls, an elementary school student in a blue suit was looking at them speechlessly.

Next to the elementary school student is Tokyo's famous detective, [Sleeping Kogoro] Mouri Kogoro.

Two men, one big and one small, carrying suitcases and backpacks, followed the two girls.

"So, Sonoko, where are we going?"

Mao Lilan said with some complaints.

As soon as the sun rose today, Suzuki Sonoko called excitedly and said something about a magician's gathering.

Seriously, it’s obvious that Sonoko can’t do magic at all?

"Hey, you didn't know that there's going to be a handsome guy participating in this magician's gathering!"

"Especially the spokesperson named [Doi Takeshu]!"

(Doi Takeki, also known as Kaito Kid, appeared in TV series 132-134, "The Magic Lover Murder Case," which connects to the theatrical version of "Detective Conan: Magician of the Silver Wing.")

Although Suzuki Sonoko had only chatted with Doi Takeshu on the Internet.

She said that she had never even seen a photo of Doi Takeshu, but now she was completely obsessed with her.

"Hehe, I have a feeling that he's definitely a handsome guy!"

"Maybe I can find a boyfriend! Xiaolan, just go with me! You already have a kudo, you can't just stand by and watch me without a boyfriend, right?"

...Doi Takeshu? Who is he? I've never heard of him. Is he also a magician?

Conan looked dead in the eyes and shook his head.

Anyway, he had never heard of him. He must be some third-rate magician, or simply a magic enthusiast...

His eyes suddenly fell on the man in a suit not far away.

And Kusakabe Makoto was looking at the Shinigami Elementary School student.

For some reason, he had a sinister feeling when he saw the elementary school student.

...It must be an illusion.

What can a primary school student do?

Conan and his friends went to a gathering of magician enthusiasts, while Kusakabe Makoto took a car back to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

The two sides passed each other and headed for their respective destinations.

Chapter 65: Indiscriminate Coercion in the Arena

Regarding the fact that Public Security Ministry prosecutor Makoto Kusakabe has arrived in Tokyo.

Nara Hikaru was unaware of this.

He only knew that Edogawa Conan was worried that it would be dangerous for Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki to go out together, so he and Kogoro Mouri went to the magic lovers' party where Kaito Kid was participating.

This is the prelude to the theatrical version of "Magician of the Silver Wing", and the strange thing is that Nara Hikaru did not find anything related to the plot of Magician of the Silver Wing. Instead, he found out about the art museum exhibition that the Suzuki Foundation was going to hold.

The secret treasures of the Romanov dynasty that were supposed to be exhibited at the Suzuki Museum of Art in Osaka have now been moved to the Suzuki Foundation's newly opened art museum in Beika-cho - and no notice has been received from Kaito Kid yet.

The content of another theatrical version of "The Magician of the End of the Century" seems to be about to unfold.

The famous Phantom Thief Kid Kuroba Kaito will be shot down by a killer using a sniper rifle while stealing the royal treasure of the Romanov dynasty. The killer known as "Scoop" is likely to have arrived in Beika Town.

All of this seemed to have caused a chain reaction of changes due to his actions in Beika Town.

However, Nara Hikaru has no regrets about this.

He has never been a person who follows the rules and sits there waiting for death. Now that he has the opportunity to change everything he knows, he must give it a try. After all, this time is different from any other time in the past——

"Hey, have you heard? The director of the Nichijo TV broadcast for the Emperor's Cup soccer match at the Tokyo National Stadium received a death threat and a criminal notice. They're demanding 10 billion yen, or they'll blow up the stadium on match day!"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu scrolled through the messages on the computer and spoke to Hikaru Nara who was packing up his equipment and preparing to leave.

Upon hearing these words, Nara Mitsuru's hand that was packing his equipment suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at the news that Nanatsuki Koshimizu was talking about—

He was not interested in sports events, and as for the so-called Emperor's Cup football competition, he had never paid attention to any related news. Therefore, he was not aware of the coercion incident at the Tokyo National Stadium.

Nara Hikaru's gaze fell on the news and paused for a moment.

He was wondering if this incident was related to the Black Organization, because it seemed to be a case that appeared in the original work, known as the 57,000 Hostage Threat Case or the Arena Indiscriminate Coercion Incident.

The so-called 57,000 hostages are nothing more than a cover for the bandits.

There were only two or three real gangsters, and their only weapons were pistols. They were simply using their familiarity with the National Arena to create a commotion by firing shots in order to extort money from the police. It was all a lot of noise but little action.

but----

"After I send Asai Narimi and the others off, I'll go check out the scene."

"If you want to investigate on your own, go ahead, but I don't want to have to rescue you later."

Nara Hikaru said finally.

He picked up the gun bag and pushed open the door of the safe house.

The early morning sunlight shone into the safe house, but immediately disappeared from inside the safe house.

The roar of a motorcycle came from outside, gradually moving away and disappearing.

“…Ah, that’s indeed a problem.”

Koshimizu Nanatsuki rested her chin on her hand and muttered to herself.

What this world lacks the least is famous detectives.

There are many famous detectives who fight against various criminal organizations and prevent various criminal activities, but that is not the home ground of high school detectives, even though Nanatsuki Koshimizu has already left the age group of high school detectives.

It would be risky for her to investigate alone to deal with the Black Organization member who Nara Hikaru mentioned was more dangerous.
