…
[University Student [6]: Sometimes I really feel that no. 2's cheat is basically letting him know all the answers for every case.
Doctor [9]: True
Artist [11]: I don't think it should be that convenient. Even my own special ability has a lot of limitation and I don't believe that no. 2's special abilities have no limitation whatsoever!
Journalist [12]: No. 11, just tell me if you're jealous of his ability and want to have the same ability.
Megumi Aiko [4]: While the information is plenty, how am I supposed to tell Inspector Megure about it? You can't really expect me to suddenly say that I know the culprit's appearance, right? The last time I relayed no. 1's information, I used the excuse that a public security officer helped me to analyze the case. Now? I don't even know what excuse I can possibly give!
Public Security Officer [5]: Your informant is giving you information?
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: You can even say that an undercover agents that you know is telling you information (dog head.jpg)
Megumi Aiko [4]: … no. 7, that's utterly unreliable. No. 5's suggestion is better, but I really need to make up stories about how I can possibly have an informant in the first place.
Journalist [12]: You can say it's from your past~. Anyway, just make up some stories and no one will suspect you much. After all, it's not like your circle of friends are only the police officers. You can also develop some 'informants' on your own.
Public Security Officer [5]: No. 12 is right. Learn to be more proactive on your own, Megumi.
…
Megumi Aiko looked at the chat and in the end she could only sigh as she took out her phone to pretend that she was chatting with someone.
No. 5 is right.
She also has other 'friends' and so on.
Besides, if she really needed to develop an information who's truly here at this time, she could just ask for help from others.
"Megumi?" Matsuda Jinpei saw that she had stopped walking and he called out.
"One of my informants is here and he saw the perpetrator appearance," Megumi Aiko said while raising her head and looking at Matsuda Jinpei. "Do you want to chase after him or leave it to the others?"
"While I do want to beat up that b*stard, but I'm not an expert at chasing someone with only written description." Matsuda Jinpei is quite realistic in this matter. "Let's just defuse more bombs."
"Ah, which place hadn't been checked yet?"
"Let's see…"
…
While Matsuda Jinpei and Megumi Aiko were heading to check other places, Kayama Ichiro looked at Inspector Megure and the bomb disposal team who had arrived and realized that it seemed that Mouri Ran was not the main target of this operation.
At least, it seemed that they were quite safe right now.
"Can we leave now?" Kayama Ichiro asked as he didn't want to get involved further. With No. 5 in the group, he was sure that the perpetrator should have been targeted somewhere one way or another.
To be honest, it would be safer if no. 1 was also here or no. 8 was willing to help, but neither of the two bubbled up.
He knew that No. 1 was overseas right now and asking for his help would be impossible.
As for no. 8… it seemed that he said something about the FBI agents being so angry with him and his injuries hadn't recovered yet or something. He couldn't get out of their supervision for the time being and it was not convenient for him to appear.
Only no. 5 is reliable enough.
As for the others… Uh, Kayama Ichiro really couldn't trust their professional ability.
No. 3 is a crybaby despite the high skills that he claimed to have, no. 4 is so useless when one thought that her reasoning ability couldn't even compare to Conan, and then there was also no. 7 who needed physiological counseling from no. 9 or no. 5 repeatedly.
The others' identities are just ordinary people, so it's impossible for them to get involved.
"Alright, you two can lea…"
"Inspector Megure, there's a note underneath!" The police officer quickly read it aloud, "From now on, please don't let me see anyone leave this amusement park, otherwise I cannot guarantee the safety of every visitor."
"Damn it!!" Inspector Megure clenched his fists angrily.
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko instinctively gripped Ran Mouri's hand, and Ran frowned worriedly.
Kayama Ichiro looked at the sky and thought about Conan who was accompanying Mouri Kogoro at the water area of the amusement park.
Has Conan started investigating too?
And at this moment, Conan was trying about finding Mouri Ran on his own.
Because Mouri Kogoro was too happy drinking and watching sexy women who were playing in the water and he was so embarrassed to stay beside the other party.
But a child walking around was really not good.
At this moment, Conan saw two familiar people coming over, which were Megumi Aiko and Matsuda Jinpei.
Unlike the dark grey suit that she usually wore or her uniform, Megumi Aiko was wearing a yellow denim overalls with a white shirt, looking more like a college student who skipped class to go on a date with her boyfriend at the amusement park.
Coupled with her youthful face, it was indeed an apt description.
Moreover, Matsuda Jinpei himself was also dressed up but still wearing his iconic black jacket and long trousers.
The two of them were walking arm in arm and those who saw them would think about how good looking this pair is. One sweet looking woman and one tough guy.
…Though, if they were to know Megumi Aiko's temper and strength, they might want to change their evaluation.
Conan shook his head.
He hadn't heard the two of them being together, so he came closer and upon seeing that Megumi Aiko had also noticed him, he started his performance, "What a coincidence! Isn't this Megumi Aiko O…"
Before the word 'officer' could leave his lips, Megumi Aiko had already rushed over and covered his mouth with unbelievable speed. He stared wide eyed at Megumi Aiko, who was baring her teeth and shushing him, and cautiously nodded.
Seeing Conan's cooperation, Megumi Aiko breathed a sigh of relief and released her hand.
She really didn't want to do this, but No. 5 kept on reminding them to keep their performance to the fullest whenever possible. So she tried to do this and performed well.
"Why are you alone, Conan? Where's Mr. Mouri and the others?"
Although Megumi Aiko already knew where everyone was, she still had to go through the motions of asking questions.
"Uncle went to the water park. Ran Neechan, Sonoko Neechan, Eisuke Nii, and Kayama Nii went to the themed cafe in zone 3," Conan replied earnestly.
Megumi Aiko nodded in understanding. But before she could continue with her performance, Matsuda Jinpei had already interrupted, "How long are you going to talk with Conan? His sister should be worried for him right now since the others have just left the cafe."
Megumi Aiko: "..." She just wanted to try acting but Matsuda Jinpei had to destroy her performance instantly.
"Ah? Did you see them, Matsuda Nii?"
"Not me but Inspector Megure and the others. Kid, go and find them now," Matsuda Jinpei said as he pushed Conan slightly from the back.
Inspector Megure and the others?
Conan's mind went blank and then he took off running, completely panicking.
