Chapter 244 Four Unparalleled Strengths
A short while later, the son of the old man in bed number two in the middle pushed open the door of the ward and walked in: "Dad, I've come to see you. How's your back?"
The old man, who had just been envious of Kogoro Mouri for having such a large group of people visiting him, suddenly became happy: "It's Yoshio! What a rare guest."
However, compared to her son, whom she had looked at for so many years and somewhat disliked, her adorable, clingy, and sunny granddaughter was more to the old lady's liking.
"By the way, where's Xiao Gong?"
Yoshio's expression tightened, alerting Conan and Ai. They exchanged a glance, dealing with the unruly child while carefully observing the somewhat flustered middle-aged man.
"Oh, Xiao Gong—she—she went to the swimming pool with her friends and couldn't come over—"
The old man didn't notice anything amiss, he just sighed and shook his head, jokingly saying, "I'm really pitiful, I have to be hospitalized for two weeks for just a twisted back. I haven't seen my lovely granddaughter in so long."
Liangfu clearly didn't want to discuss this further, so he changed the subject, asking, "Dad, have you finished eating today?"
The old man scratched his head awkwardly; clearly, he hadn't taken his medicine on time today.
Liangfu, on the contrary, let out a strange sigh of relief: "That won't do. You also have diabetes, so you have to take your medication on time."
The nervous man didn't notice that three pairs of eyes were watching him as he drugged the woman.
Conan and Ai's expressions tightened, but Akutagawa Hiko stopped them in time. After all, if he remembered correctly, the robbery gang not only had an undercover agent in the police, but there was also a listening device under Kogoro Mouri's hospital bed.
If it weren't for Conan, this would have been a meticulously planned operation with virtually no chance of failure, since the police officers involved were definitely not the elite of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
When faced with Akutagawa's sign language telling them not to act rashly, Ai Haibara instantly calmed down. Although Conan was anxious, he knew that trusting his reliable teammates' decisions was absolutely the right thing to do.
"Uncle Mori, since you're free, I'll take the kids out to play."
Kogoro Mouri, who was looking forward to admiring Yoko Okino's surroundings, was having a headache from the noise of the children. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Take them away. The hospital is not a place for children."
Having found a place where they wouldn't be disturbed, Akutagawa Hiko said with a serious expression, "The signal in that ward just now was off. I suspect there are listening devices inside, which is why I stopped you."
The three mischievous kids looked puzzled, then suddenly became excited: "Could it be that some big case is about to happen?!"
Akutagawa Hiko, wanting to get rid of the few kids who might be a hindrance, casually assigned them a task: "Go to the hospital and look for any suspicious people who might be hiding their faces and don't seem like good people. Don't make a fuss, we'll contact them using our badges."
The three real children simultaneously saluted Akutagawa Hiko: "Mission accomplished!!"
After the bystanders left, Akutagawa Hiko began to explain the whole story to the two of them.
A little over a week ago, a robbery occurred. The robbers robbed the bank where Ryofu worked. During the police chase, a minor car accident happened.
All the other robbers escaped, leaving only Akabane, the driver who was trapped underneath the overturned vehicle, uncaptured.
The police thought they could use Akabane to lure out all of his accomplices.
Unexpectedly, those robbers were also a ruthless group. They had no intention of rescuing their accomplice who was guarding their intelligence, and were even worried that Akabane would not be able to withstand the interrogation, so they prepared to kill him so that there would be no way to prove anything.
They first kidnapped Yoshio's daughter, Yumiko, and then forced Yoshio to personally send Akabane to his death.
After hearing these explanations, the two instantly understood, their faces filled with indignation.
"What should we do now?"
After considering it for a moment, Akutagawa Hiko decided that Ai's appearance was the most deceptive. She could pretend to be Yumiko's friend to make the female robber lower her guard, so that they could go to the entertainment facilities on the opposite rooftop to rescue her.
As for the person monitoring Yoshio, Conan can deal with him. When the robber hands Yoshio the gun disguised as a puff, a sneak attack with a tranquilizer dart from behind will take care of him.
As for the undercover agent in the police force, Akutagawa Hiko would have to handle it himself. After all, Inspector Megure might not believe what others said, and it wouldn't be good if he were subdued by the police.
The remaining one is not a threat once the hostage is rescued. With their lineup, even if he has firearms, he is not a threat.
After assigning tasks, Akutagawa Hiko dialed Inspector Megure's private number: "Hello, is this Inspector Megure? I have some leads on the robbery case you've been working on lately. Don't make a fuss. Bring all the police officers you brought with you to the lobby."
Upon receiving Akutagawa Hiko's call, Inspector Megure was overjoyed. This likely meant that the matter they had been working on for a week was about to be resolved—that was the reputation of a great detective!
Faced with Takagi Wataru's question, Inspector Megure was about to explain when he suddenly remembered Akutagawa Hiko's instructions. Knowing he couldn't afford to make a mistake, he stopped explaining and said, "Takagi, gather all of us in the lobby!"
Although Takagi Wataru didn't understand why, he still saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"
Akutagawa carefully observed all the police officers until his communicator rang.
First, Ai Haibara said, "I've arrived here. There is indeed a woman here with a girl named Yumiko, and she's carrying binoculars that she keeps looking in the direction of the hospital."
Then it was Conan's turn: "The box you mentioned has already been given to Mr. Yoshio, and it seems to be used as a threat now."
Akutagawa Hiko nodded: "Let's do it."
Faced with Akutagawa Hiko charging straight at them, all the police officers remained motionless, their faces showing astonishment, except for the undercover agent, who instinctively turned and ran, only to be pinned down by Akutagawa Hiko.
"This is assaulting a police officer! Assaulting a police officer! Inspector Megure, come quick, save me!"
He was pleasantly surprised to see his colleagues gather around, but he was soon horrified to discover that they were looking at him with the same eyes that they were eyeing his performance, and that he was the one they were surrounding!
The sky over the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has darkened!
Just then, a large, obese man tried to sneak away, but was tackled from behind by three mischievous children.
In the hallway, Conan pushed up his reflective glasses and lowered his hand. To Yoshio's horrified expression, the kidnapper was unconscious.
Ai used a stun gun to subdue the female robber, squatted down, and said calmly, "Miss robber, your plan has completely failed."
Thus, the team fight was won, and a quadra kill was achieved.
