Because the man had just spoken for him, Conan had been watching him out of the corner of his eye. The moment he saw the man fall to the ground, he slipped out of Chu Ming's arms and said, "Brother Chu Ming, call the police and I'll go after him."
Before Chu Ming could react, Conan disappeared.
When Conan came back, Chu Ming was already squatting next to the police officer.
The police officer stretched out his hand with great effort and placed it firmly on his left heart.
Conan wondered: "Is this some kind of death message?"
Chu Ming stretched out his hand and imitated it: "The left side of my heart hurts, uh... could it be Sato??"
Conan almost slipped and fell into the water: "You have only been following Uncle Maori for a few days, and you have already learned the essence???"
Chapter 255: Him?
Because a policeman was killed in the street, the matter was extremely bad, and all the media gathered in front of the Metropolitan Police Department like sharks smelling blood, waiting for the police to solve the case.
Inspector Megure frowned and with a heavy face he invited Chu Ming and Conan, who came to take the statement, to come in.
"Most of the witnesses only glanced at the murderer and were unable to provide much information. Brother Chu Ming, you were also at the scene. Did you see any details?"
Chu Ming picked up a pen from the table and scribbled on the paper: "We only saw the back of the man, the gray raincoat and the gray umbrella. He held the umbrella in his right hand and fired the gun with his left hand. He must be left-handed. And from the look on the officer's face when he fell, he seemed to know the murderer. Here, this is the back view I drew."
Inspector Megure was overjoyed. He took the paper and said sincerely, "Brother Chu Ming, thank you so much. You really helped me a lot. I'll - eh?"
Looking at the black mass on the paper that was barely recognizable as a human figure, Inspector Megure's mouth twitched.
This painting skill is worse than Sato's...
Seeing that Officer Megure didn't say anything for a while, Chu Ming came over and pointed to the corresponding part on the paper: "This is an umbrella, this is a foot, and this hand is holding a gun..."
Officer Megure quickly stopped Chu Ming: "Hahaha, thank you, brother Chu Ming, I'll have someone check it out right away, hahaha, I'll take the paper first, if there are no other clues you guys can leave first, we've been busy lately."
Looking at Inspector Megure who turned against him as soon as he got the clue, Chu Ming curled his lips and left with Conan.
However, before he could even leave, he saw Takagi running in, "Officer Megure, this is bad, this is bad. I just received news that Officer Shibayo Ichiro was found dead in the parking lot of his apartment, also holding a police manual in his hand—"
Upon hearing this, Officer Megure's eyes became serious, and he gently pushed Chu Ming and Conan, who had not yet had time to leave, out the door: "Okay, what happens next cannot be known to irrelevant people, you two should go back quickly."
Conan was not convinced: "How can I be an irrelevant person? I am an eyewitness."
Officer Megure patted his head and said, "But now the record of your statements has ended. It's time for adults. Go back with your brother Chu Ming."
Then he walked into the room without looking back and closed the door.
Chu Ming looked at Conan who was in a bad mood and comforted him: "It's okay, let's go to the office to find the uncle. Officer Megure ignored us, so he should communicate with the uncle~"
Conan's eyes lit up and he urged again and again: "Hurry, hurry, let's go back to find uncle."
When Conan returned to the office and told Kogoro Mouri about the matter, Mouri Kogoro's expression suddenly became serious. He hurriedly called Inspector Megure, but was also perfunctorily answered by him.
"No, he won't tell me either." Maori Kogoro spread his hands helplessly and put down the phone in his hand, "Including Officer Shiratori, he won't say anything either."
"There is another way." Chu Ming pointed at the invitation on Maori Kogoro's desk, "Officer Shiratori's sister is having a wedding celebration this afternoon, so there must be many officers there. Why don't we pick a weak target and ask them?"
"Soft persimmon?" Maori Kogoro and Conan exchanged a sinister look and nodded, "I understand."
*************
"The 15th floor of Beika Sun Plaza..." He muttered to himself as he followed Kogoro Mouri upstairs.
At the wedding, Kyosuke Fudo failed to kill Officer Sato successfully. Although he couldn't get in touch with the magnetic field, Chu Ming remembered that before Xiaolan fell into a coma, she saw Officer Sato falling down covered in blood, not knowing whether he was dead or alive because of her. She should have had a lot of emotional value, right?
After meeting up with Sonoko, they took the elevator to the main venue. While signing autographs, they ran into Eri Hime, who came to the celebration as a friend of the girl.
Chu Ming was holding orange juice and following Conan behind Kogoro Mouri, but he couldn't see Officer Takagi.
Instead, Officer Shiratori came over with someone, "Mr. Maori, let me introduce you, this is my attending physician, he is a well-known psychiatrist at Beihua Hospital, Fuuto."
Maori Kogoro also smiled and introduced the people around him: "I am Maori Kogoro, this is my wife Eri and my daughter Xiaolan, and this is my daughter's friend Chu Ming."
Xiang Xiang suddenly found Conan still standing on the ground, and quickly pointed at Conan and said casually: "This is Conan who lives in my house."
"Hello, Brother Fuuto, nice to see you again~" Conan started acting cute again.
Fenghu Kyosuke looked a little surprised: "It's you, the kid who followed Dr. Watanabe last time. Are you feeling better now?"
Conan gave an awkward but polite smile: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, uncle."
After chatting for a while, Maori Kogoro saw Officer Takagi coming in from the side door and quickly squeezed over: "Officer Takagi, wait for me, wait for me. Officer Megure doesn't want to talk, so just tell me the progress of the case quietly..."
Takagi stopped helplessly: "No, Mr. Maori, Officer Megure has told us not to--"
Maori Kogoro grabbed his collar and said with a ferocious look, "Huh?"
Chu Ming followed behind and watched the show. Wow, you were timid in front of Inspector Megure, but you punched hard in front of Takagi. You are worthy of being like this.
Conan also joined in bullying the honest man: "Officer Takagi, I heard that you like Officer Sato? You don't want Officer Sato to know that you have a crush on her, do you?"
Maori Kogoro tilted his head. His mind was working quickly at this time. His eyes became increasingly sinister. He quickly replied, "Oh? This is something new. Okay, then I will help you convey your feelings?"
Just as he was about to call Officer Sato over, Takagi's face flushed and he pressed down on Maori Kogoro's shoulder: "Wait!!! I said, I said, isn't that enough???"
Takagi whispered in Maori Kogoro's ear: "In fact, the two dead police officers were holding their police manuals, so they guessed that this might refer to the upper echelons..."
"Okay, Mr. Maori, please don't ask about what happens next. You should know: NEED NOT TO KNOW."
Officer Shiratori came over and rescued Takagi who was surrounded, and interrupted Kogoro Mori's questioning.
Facing Chu Ming's curious eyes, Maori Kogoro explained in a deep voice: "This is a code word in the police world, which means there is no need to know. Generally, this is only used when it involves high-ranking police officers or even when it is enough to subvert the entire police system..."
Hmm??? Senior police officers???
It’s just Fudo Kyosuke, and a high-ranking official???
Chapter 256 Absolutely Not
While they were discussing, Conan suddenly sneezed twice in succession.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ming looked at the group of people chatting animatedly in the back, including Xiaolan and Fei Yingli, and understood instantly, "Thinking first, scolding second, catching a cold third. If you suddenly sneeze twice, it means someone is scolding you~~"
Conan was not convinced: "Brother Chu Ming, your singing is really bad, and did you sing it the wrong way? Xiaolan must have been thinking about me just now. Why would she scold me?"
"Heh." Chu Ming just sneered and let him experience it himself, then took him to Xiaolan and asked casually, "Xiaolan, what were you laughing at just now? Why were you so happy?"
"I was talking about some sweet words my father said to my mother before. My mother also said that men with smooth talk are the most unreliable..." Xiaolan tapped her chin as she recalled.
Feiying added coldly, "Yeah, especially the detective who used to love sweet talk to trick you into going out to play!!"
Xiaolan blushed: "Oh, Mom, stop talking, I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, you guys play first."
Not long after Xiaolan left, the lights in the entire hall suddenly went out.
"power cut?"
Relying on his night vision, Chu Ming avoided the obstacles around him and came to the window: "It shouldn't be a power outage. The lights downstairs and upstairs are still on. Only our floor has a power outage."
Officer Megure decisively asked Chiba to go to the distribution room to check the situation, and then asked everyone not to panic and stay where they were.
Suddenly, a mournful scream rang out.
"It's Sister Xiaolan!" Conan immediately ran towards the bathroom. Chu Ming had already come to the corner when the lights went out.
Xiaolan's emotional value before she fell into a coma was directly displayed on the system panel. It was probably too difficult for such a kind girl to accept that she almost killed Officer Sato because she took the flashlight.
When everyone reached the bathroom sink, the lights had been restored. Maori Kogoro found the two people lying on the ground and quickly sent them to Beika Hospital.
*************
Chu Ming saw Lafitte slacking off from a distance and wanted to scare him. However, Lafitte, who was slacking off and playing games in the duty room, saw the unconscious Xiaolan being taken down from the stretcher and stood up immediately: "What happened to Xiaolan?"
"She was probably shocked and fainted. She—"
Before Chu Ming could finish his words, Lafitte had already changed into his white coat: "I'll go take a look!!"
Then he planned to run to Xiaolan's room.
"Doctor Watanabe! I'm looking for you!" A nurse ran over breathlessly, "The police officer just sent here is bleeding heavily, and the bullet is less than half an inch away from his heart. Among the doctors in the hospital who can perform surgery in time, only your hands are the steadiest. Please see--"
Lafitte waved his hands unhappily: "I'm just a brain surgeon who also does surgery. Shouldn't this kind of major surgery be done by the dean? Besides, I don't have time right now. A friend of mine was just sent in, and I need to go see him—"
Chu Ming grabbed him and said something with a hint of meaning: "Do your job well. This is an excellent police officer, and he is also a police beauty of the Metropolitan Police Department. If you save him, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department will thank you."
After hearing Chu Ming's suggestive words, Lafitte's eyes moved slightly: "Okay, then I'll go see the police officer, you go and help me keep an eye on Xiaolan first."
Chu Ming gently pushed open the door of the ward. Now everyone was gathered in front of Officer Sato's emergency room. Since Xiaolan was not in any danger of life, only Sonoko was guarding here.
Seeing Chu Ming, Yuanzi no longer even had the mood to act like a fangirl. She just gestured for Chu Ming to sit wherever he wanted.
As soon as Chu Ming sat down, Xiaolan's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Xiaolan, you're awake! You scared me to death, wuwuwu--" As soon as he saw Xiaolan wake up, Sonoko immediately revived and hugged Xiaolan tightly.
"Uh - who... are you?" Xiaolan's pure eyes were full of confusion, and she looked at the two people as if she was looking at two strangers.
"Xiaolan, wuwuwu, don't scare me, wuwuwu, I am Sonozi, wuwuwu, I am your best friend QAQ" Sonozi grabbed Xiaolan's hand, tears were about to fall.
Xiaolan apologized: "I'm sorry, but I don't know you..."
Sonoko was struck by lightning and quickly sent people to find Maori Kogoro and others. After Conan and others rushed into the ward, Conan asked Xiaolan in a trembling voice: "Sister Xiaolan, don't you remember me?"
Xiaolan was full of confusion and bewilderment: "Kid, who are you?"
The hair on Conan's head drooped down: "I, I'm Conan..."
The people around introduced themselves one after another, but Xiaolan didn't remember anyone.
Lafitte performed beyond his ability and completed the operation accurately, then hurried to Xiaolan's ward.
"Xiaolan doesn't remember anything?" Lafitte's face was full of surprise, but Chu Ming dared to use his 5.3 eyes to testify that a trace of calculation just flashed across the eyes of this thief.
He wouldn't want to take advantage of Xiaolan's amnesia...
Alas--
"This should be reverse amnesia. It's just that after being stimulated, it's easy to forget some things, but basic common sense is still remembered."
"Witnessing Officer Sato being shot must have been a big shock to Xiaolan..." Kogoro Mouri sighed softly.
"But Sister Xiaolan doesn't seem to be such a fragile person..." Conan didn't dare to refute loudly, "Will she lose her memory just by seeing the murderer committing a crime?"
"Flashlight." Chu Ming reminded Conan: "The door of the locker under the sink is open. It is very likely that after the lights went out, Xiaolan saw the light in the locker and took it out to illuminate it. Maybe Officer Sato was really because of this beam of light..."
Chu Ming didn't finish his words, but Conan already understood.
