Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Chapter 753 This is no joke

This was the first time that Inspector Juzo had come to a room with a sign that read "Criminal General Affairs Section, Reform Preparation Room."

"Inspector Megure. This is Inspector Sametani's desk." Inspector Shiratori Nisaburo, who entered the room first, pointed to a desk with a laptop and documents cluttered on it.

Megure walked deeper into the room while looking at the data rack that took up more than half of the room.

"'Reform Preparation Room'?... I didn't even know there was such a department even though we are in the Criminal Department." Megure said.

"Yeah." The man sitting in the director's seat at the back of the room said, "After all, this is a place where useless police officers eat and wait to die."

"Who is he?" Megure asked.

Shiratori replied, "It's Chief Inspector Suga."

Megure explained to Suga: "I am Megure from the First Investigation Division. Inspector Sametani used to work in the First Investigation Division..."

"He was kicked out recently," Suga replied in a cold tone.

"Kicked out? He is obviously a very good detective." Megure murmured softly as if talking to himself.

On the other side, Shiratori came to Sametani's desk and shouted while operating his laptop: "Inspector."

"This is the last file he accessed." Shiratori looked at Megure.

Megure came to Sametani's desk and carefully looked at the computer screen. The screen showed a report on the avalanche accident that occurred on Mount Miho in Nagano Prefecture ten months ago.

"The snow accident that happened in Nagano..." Megure frowned.

Why do detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department check documents on accidents that occurred outside their jurisdiction?

At the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kogoro is being questioned by Shiratori about Sametani's actions before he was murdered. He recalls what he said on the phone on Friday: "By the way, Crocodile said he was going to Nagano."

"That's right." Shiratori nodded in agreement with Kogoro.

Shiratori said, "But after checking with the Nagano Prefectural Police, I learned that Inspector Sametani did not go."

"What did you say?!" Kogoro widened his eyes in surprise.

At this time, Takagi and Sato came over: "Inspector Shiratori. We investigated the motorcycle that was suspected to be the victim's property, but we were unable to track it because it was stolen."

Conan heard Takagi's report from a distance away from everyone, and discovered the figure of Public Security Police Officer Yuya Kazami in the very open corridor on the second floor.

Kazami noticed Conan's gaze, hurriedly took out his cell phone, put it to his ear, and turned his eyes to the side.

Although he tried to conceal it at first, the fact that he was monitoring Conan and the others was still exposed.

Why are the police here?

Is it because the victim in this case is a policeman?

After glaring at Kazami who was pretending to make a phone call, Conan walked towards where Shiratori and the others were.

"Anyway, I'm going to search the headquarters soon, and you guys--" Shiratori looked at Sato and Takagi and asked.

Sato put his hand on his chest and answered, "We are going to go to Nagano Prefecture. Even if Inspector Sametani didn't go to the prefectural police station, we might be able to find witnesses."

"I understand. Then please report all the information you have found about Nagano to the investigation headquarters one by one." said Shiratori.

"Yes!" Sato and Takagi saluted in unison.

At this time, "I'll go too." Kogoro took a step forward.

"Mr. Maori, ordinary citizens are not allowed to participate in police cross-border searches." Sato said gently.

"My good friend was killed!" Kogoro approached Sato and roared.

"And I was once at the crime scene. Although I only caught a glimpse, I still saw the criminal. Come to think of it, the criminal might come to kill me in order to prevent what I might know from being leaked out!" This time, Kogoro approached Shiratori and argued.

"Dad!" Lan on the side reminded.

"You have no other choice but to take me away!" Kogoro's rebuttal also made sense.

He is a good friend of the victim, Sametani, and also an eyewitness to the criminal. He may hold the key to solving this case.

"That makes sense..." Takagi blinked.

"Then you're welcome to join us and assist in the investigation..." Sato and Takagi were about to welcome Kogoro to join.

"Then I want to go too! I saw the criminal! Conan ran over and grabbed Kogoro's leg, and at the same time, secretly attached the bug to Kogoro's belt.

"Don't follow me!" Kogoro turned and looked at Conan.

"This is no joke!"

After saying that, Kogoro walked towards the gate with Takagi and Sato.

"Then I'll take my leave now..." Shiratori also returned to the floor where the Investigation Section 1 was located.

Only Ran and Conan were left at the entrance.

"Ah, Conan." Ran opened her shoulder bag and took out two tickets. "These are tickets for a football match... What should I do with these?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan!" Conan, who wanted to go to Nagano, clasped his hands together and replied apologetically.

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko took the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo and arrived at the Sakudaira station in about eighty minutes, and ran out of the ticket gate.

After passing a huge mechanical clock, there was an observation deck in front. The children ran all the way there and finally stopped in front of the fence. The view in front of them suddenly became clear.

“Wa ...

As far as the eye can see, the Yatsugatake mountains, covered in snow, undulate under the clear sky, and are breathtakingly beautiful.

"Doctor~!" The children waved to Professor Agasa who came out of the station earlier and stood next to the loop.

When Dr. Agasa saw the children, he waved and responded, "Oh!" Just then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over.

"……senior?"

Dr. Agasa turned around when he heard the voice and saw his junior from college, Ochi Yutaka, standing there: "Ah, it's Ochi-kun!"

"Agasa-senpai, long time no see."

Facing Ochi who waved at him with a gentle smile, Dr. Agasa looked up at the observatory and said, "Those are the children who came with me."

"Hello!" the children greeted loudly.

"Hello! I am Ochi from the observatory." Ochi also put his hands to his mouth and responded loudly.

At this moment, the phone in Dr. Agasa's pocket suddenly vibrated: "Oh, excuse me for a moment."

Dr. Agasa took out his cell phone and checked the screen, and found that it was Shinichi calling. Haibara, who was standing a little distance away from Dr. Agasa who was on the phone, was attracted by the clock set up in front of the station.

A couple was laughing and joking as they pulled the bell rope of a bell called "The Bell of Happiness", and the sound of the bell echoed clearly.

The clang, clang sound of the bells also reached Huiyuan's ears.

"Got it. I'll go straight to the observatory. Thanks. Bye."

Conan, who was standing at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, had just hung up the phone when Ran, who was sitting on a chair nearby, stood up and walked over: "Are you really going to Nagano?"

"Yes, that's right. Going alone——"

“No!” Lan stopped him decisively: “Besides, I’m worried about my dad and can’t concentrate on enjoying the football game. Wouldn’t the tickets be wasted… ah, got it!”

Lan, who was originally feeling very regretful, suddenly thought of something and her expression brightened. Suzuki Sonoko was sitting in front of the dressing table in her room putting on makeup when she suddenly received a call from Lan.

"What, a football game?!"

Lan explained that she couldn't go and hoped that Sonoko could go on her behalf.

"No, I have a movie date with Zhen today." Sonoko refused.

Then Lan further persuaded: "You can watch the movie anytime, but you can only watch the football game today."

"But...will Zhen be interested in football?" asked Sonoko.

"Sonoko, I'm sure you'll be interested. The heroes in Spirits are super cool." Ran said.

"Is it the Spirits team's game?!" When she heard the name Spirits, Sonoko's heart wavered slightly.

The hero refers to Hero Akagi, a player of the Tokyo Spirits team. He is indeed the type that Sonoko likes very much.

"By the way, if you scream excitedly at the hero, Kyogoku-san might get jealous and ignite the flames of jealousy!"

Hearing Lan say this, Sonoko stood up suddenly.

The flames of jealousy——?!

Sonoko instantly imagined herself and Zhen watching a football match.
