Chapter 142 Kogoro Mouri looks completely bewildered.
Inside the Metropolitan Police Department...
Inspector Megure was quite busy at the moment.
I watched as the police officers sat in front of their computers deleting comments.
The reason is simple: the Yasukuni Shrine incident has been leaked.
Although the authorities tried their best to cover it up and reported that the explosion was caused by a gas leak, they could not stop the various rumors circulating online.
[Shocking! The Yasukuni Shrine, where is it? I will end its life!]
Japanese people all go to Nishini: Hehe, so happy.
Five-star general MacArthur: No need to discuss it, actually I just dropped another Little Boy on Japan.
Ultraman Taro: Actually, it was our Land of Light who did it.
Belial the Evil: Lung Mist Taro, this is the same thing I did as Mother of Ultra!
Pfft...
One of the police officers laughed out loud when he saw the comments.
Inspector Megure immediately glared at him.
If we laugh now, we'll truly lose our future.
Didi...
Just then, Inspector Megure's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and felt a surge of excitement... Could it be that his friend Kudo was coming back...?
A few minutes later...
"In short, that's how it is... We must protect them as soon as possible, Inspector Megure."
After saying that, the phone clicked off.
Inspector Megure's expression immediately turned serious... He ordered Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato to provide protection.
He himself will go to his brother Mori's hospital room.
...........
At that moment, Takagi Wataru of the First Investigation Division was about to stop Yamamoto Ryu, who was preparing to catch his wife in the act of adultery. "Detective Ryu, please do not go out. This is not good for our police protection."
"Actually, it's nothing." Detective Long waved his hand and chuckled. "Maybe it's a criminal I deduced and arrested who's sending out threatening letters."
"Or maybe a competitor is spreading rumors that are affecting my business..." He placed his hand on the car door handle. "If you're really worried..."
The car door was slightly opened.
Boom...
The massive burst of flames instantly blasted Takagi Wataru away.
Meanwhile... Miwako Sato had just arrived at Shoji Nishio's company in a police car.
After showing my police ID, I took the elevator upstairs.
"what!!!!"
I had just gotten upstairs when I heard screams.
Officer Sato's expression instantly turned serious, and he raised his pistol and ran over.
Upon seeing what appeared to be sniper fire in Nishio Shoji's room, with a bullet lodged in his forehead, Officer Sato felt a surge of anger.
What do these people think human life is?!
.......
In the hospital...
The hospital room where Kogoro Mouri is located.
"Uh...where am I?" Takagi Wataru opened his eyes, looking at the white ceiling, feeling a little groggy. "Hey, Inspector Megure, Inspector Sato, Mr. Mori, and Ms. Mori, Conan, what are you all doing here? Where's Detective Ryu?"
"Detective Ryu, he's been blown up..." Inspector Megure sighed.
Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru's expression shifted from confusion to disappointment, followed by self-reproach, "If only I had..."
"Don't blame yourself too much." Inspector Megure took a deep breath, his expression serious. "It was my carelessness; I didn't figure out the true strength of that terrorist organization and only sent you..."
He was indeed quite careless.
It was obvious that Kudo spoke in a terrified voice when he made the call.
He didn't even consider that even Kudo, who was fond of the aura of death, was terrified. What kind of terrorist organization was it?
"I'm glad you're alright..." Kogoro Mouri lay on the hospital bed, his leg in a sling, his expression somewhat gloomy. "Ran, Conan, you two go out first..."
He knew that if Ran and Conan were there, Inspector Megure would have some things he couldn't say.
Conan understood what was going on, silently dropped a bugging device, and walked out.
After the two left, Inspector Megure took a deep breath. "You roughly know what happened, right..."
Kogoro Mouri looked bewildered. "I know, but why me? I didn't go anywhere!"
He learned from Inspector Megure that he was being targeted by a terrorist organization.
But the key point is that he has been staying quietly in his hospital room these past few days, reading Yoko Okino's magazines.
Then suddenly he's told that he's about to be attacked?
"The specific reason... I don't know either." Inspector Megure sighed. "It's still because we didn't do a good job. Just now, Detective Ryu's residence was blown up, and his family members were all killed..."
“Shoji Nishio was shot beyond recognition when we arrived... His parents’ bodies were also killed in the villa at the same time.”
"And all of this happened in just one hour, so fast...it was impossible to stop."
“Most importantly…” Inspector Megure said with some guilt.
"What's wrong? Tell me!" Kogoro Mouri seemed to have forgotten that smoking was not allowed here, so he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"The higher-ups won't allow us to continue the investigation..." Inspector Megure sighed, "and they won't send backup..."
"How could this be?" Takagi Wataru gasped for breath upon hearing the news. "What about Mr. Mori?"
Sato Miwako's eyes also revealed disappointment, "Actually, this was somewhat expected..."
Their vows before the cherry blossoms remained unchanged... but some people in the upper echelons have changed.
"That organization's power is beyond our imagination..." Inspector Megure sighed helplessly. "I will protect Brother Mori in my personal capacity."
Even though he might be forced to resign, he will protect his brothers no matter what.
It can truly be said, 'Brother, your achievements are well-deserved!'
"I want to go too," Sato Miwako said, making up her mind.
"Me too," Takagi Wataru said, raising his hand.
"Phew, you don't need to." Inspector Megure took a deep breath. "Now, this place has nothing to do with you. Takagi, once you're healed, go back to the police station immediately. Don't worry about this. Sato, the same goes for you."
"But..."
"No buts." Inspector Megure's expression was serious and unusually earnest.
Miwako Sato is still young... and she's the daughter of a former colleague. It's truly a pity that she's ruining her future or even her life here.
Takagi Wataru is an honest man, suitable as a good subordinate... He's naturally kind, and his future looks bright.
Meanwhile, Conan, who was eavesdropping outside the ward, clenched his fists tightly.
After hearing these things, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He's not a wolf with a baby face, he just has a baby face...
I never imagined that organization could even influence high-ranking Japanese officials.
What kind of organization is it...?
Of the three objectives, two have already been achieved; now it's Uncle Mori's turn...
If, if something really happens...
Conan's pupils drooped.
