Chapter 122 The first layer of disguise has fallen off, Mr. Police
Before Xiu Nian's senior brothers could figure out how to protect their junior brother, Xiu Nian knew that there was no hope of getting away with it. So he stepped forward himself. Like the other criminals in the Detective Conan world, he wanted revenge but did not want to go to jail. So he chose this method. In addition to replicating the old monk's outrageous deeds, he also considered escaping legal punishment.
He had considered calling the police, but two years had passed and there was no evidence left. He even knelt down and begged Zhongnian to turn himself in so that Zhongnian could see the truth.
The old monk is over seventy years old, and it's unknown how much longer he has to live, yet he continues to evade justice due to a lack of evidence.
When he came to his senses, the old monk was already dead, and he had no other choice.
However, there is some truth to the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist. If one explains everything now, the sentence will certainly be lighter than if one stubbornly resists to the end.
"Chūnen is my real brother, no doubt about it. He and Master's granddaughter are deeply in love and are even planning to elope. But Master, in order to marry Miss Kikuno off to the heir of the great temple, actually—actually—"
Before being taken away, Xiu Nian looked at Akutagawa Hiko with a carefree expression and said with some emotion, "If only, two years ago—sigh."
Everyone understands what Xiu Nianwei meant. If Akutagawa Hiko had come here two years ago, or if another outstanding detective had come here, things might not have turned out this way.
However, Akutagawa Hiko did not respond.
Let alone two years ago, even if this had happened a year ago, when he had already traveled through time, he wouldn't have bothered to get involved.
Of all the people involved, the most tragic was Miss Kikuno. She not only lost her lover who eloped with her, but also her grandfather. If it weren't for her fiancé's genuine love for her, the tragedy would have been utterly devastating.
However, the heir to that great temple has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work; I swear by Akutagawa Hiko, who has watched so many episodes of Detective Conan.
Miss Kikuno has already fallen for him.
One cannot hang oneself on one tree, nor be bound by a dead person for one's entire life; that would be truly pathetic.
The group was picked up by police cars. If they were ordinary members of the organization, they would probably be worried about being silenced by a sudden bullet.
However, Amuro Tooru is different.
He's a codenamed cadre. Theoretically speaking, apart from that person, all codenamed cadres are of equal rank. Even Rum and Vodka are equals.
Actual practice is one thing, but what you say is another.
In theory, to silence a codenamed cadre, one must first report to that superior, then conduct an investigation, and finally present the investigation results to that superior before taking action.
Of course, if Gin or other executives favored by the BOSS discover concrete evidence and catch an undercover agent, they can act first and report later.
Amuro Tooru is currently analyzing Akutagawa Hikaru's performance just now, since he joined the detective agency mainly for Akutagawa Hikaru and Conan.
He had observed Conan's behavior and found him to be smarter and more clever than the average child. He rarely made a fuss, had a good relationship with Akutagawa Hikaru, and was very close to Ran.
However, given Miss Lan's personality, it is indeed easy for children to like her.
Mr. Mori is not at all as wise as described in the newspapers. It may be related to his state of mind. Some people do become like two different people after entering a certain state, but it is not a case of schizophrenia.
Unfortunately, it's a pity I didn't get to see this senior police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department solving cases.
As for the second young lady of the Suzuki Group over there, aside from being a bit infatuated, there's not much to say about her. She seems to have a crush on Akutagawa Hiko, who's sitting in the back seat giving Conan a lecture on his laptop.
I don't know if my nominal boss has figured it out or not.
After all, some people have very high IQs, but their EQs are basically negative.
Yes, Amuro Tooru has basically confirmed that Akutagawa Hiko is a detective with a high IQ and strong abilities. From the moment he discovered the body, Amuro Tooru, who was constantly observing under the guise of an apprentice, noticed that Akutagawa Hiko was glancing at the monk Shunen from time to time.
It's like having a god's-eye view.
If one hadn't witnessed Xiu Nian committing the crime firsthand, her ability to pinpoint the culprit at a glance would have been truly terrifying.
However, he was quite certain that Akutagawa Hiko did not witness Hideaki's crime.
He encountered Hideaki last night, and when he returned to his room, he realized that Akutagawa Hiko hadn't gone out. Around the same time that Kogoro Mouri got up in the middle of the night and was startled by Ran Mouri, Akutagawa Hiko was also in the room.
Having been an undercover agent for so long, he had long since developed the habit of being vigilant at the slightest sign of trouble.
If he hadn't been more vigilant, he would have died a violent death like his contemporaries.
Thinking of his close friends, Amuro Tooru felt a moment of sadness, but only for a moment.
Although he may reminisce about the past, he will not dwell on it. His past experiences will become an extension of the path he walks. At this stage, he still wants to focus on destroying the organization.
Just then, Amuro Tooru heard Akutagawa Hiko speak louder, making it clear to him.
He's currently sitting in the passenger seat, assisting with driving, but the officer next to him is clearly a bit nervous; perhaps not assisting is the best form of assistance.
"Boss, what are you guys talking about?"
Seeing that Amuro Tooru had taken the bait, Akutagawa Hiko pointed to his phone screen: "It's Kaito Kid."
Amuro Tooru frowned, clearly disliking this disruptive force, but compared to other crimes like murder and drug trafficking...
Criminals involved in smuggling and other similar activities are at most subject to police scrutiny and reprimands, but this is not enough for him to deliberately target them.
Akutagawa explained, "Kaito Kid always returns what he steals, doesn't he? He's finally revealed what he's looking for."
Amuro Tooru also became interested, but he hadn't upgraded to the latest smartphone yet, and he didn't have his laptop with him, so he could only listen to Akutagawa Hiko talk.
"It's a legendary gem that can grant immortality, but Kaito Kid probably just thinks it's a legendary gem."
Only someone worthy of being called an international phantom thief.
Amuro Tooru looked puzzled; he had never heard of this before.
Akutagawa Hiko stated that he had never heard of it, and that this world was a product of the fusion of the two worlds, no longer a simple world of Detective Conan, and that magic also existed in reality.
Perhaps the legend of Pandora is true.
However, getting involved with things like immortality or rejuvenation will certainly come at a high price.
Akutagawa Hiko, who believed that a steady and methodical approach could lead to immortality and eternal life, naturally looked down on it, but he was still curious.
Conan glanced at Amuro Tooru, then at Akutagawa Hiko, recalling the plan they had discussed with Kaito Kid. So,
There's only one truth: Akutagawa Hiko suspects that Amuro Tooru is a member of the Black Organization!
