I'm writing a fictional immortality script in Detective Conan.

Chapter 144 The Golden Support: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

"Sniper attack! Everyone find cover and lie down!"

Having already sensed something was amiss, Kuromon Haruya loudly reminded everyone, and led Conan, who still wanted to keep chasing, to a tree.

He can cover for Conan's mischief within the organization, so no matter what Conan does, there won't be any problems. But he's not as considerate of opposing forces across the world.

We must take good care of the precious time we have.

A few meters behind the statue, Chianti instinctively turned his back before realizing he hadn't brought a weapon; the emptiness behind him stirred a wave of irritation.

"Tch, that damned bastard! This time, no matter what the boss says, I'm going to use his exploded brains to wash my shoes!"

Cohen put away his phone and nodded in agreement slowly: "This is a provocation. I've already told the boss."

"First it was Scrooge, now it's Fox. They're even marking their territory by peeing at the base entrance! Is Rum just sitting around doing nothing...?"

"Gin and Vermouth are both in Japan. They're finished."

After a few seconds of pause, Cohen turned to his right, where the reflection of Haruya Kuromon was seen in his specially made sunglasses: "And, Butbel is very strong."

"..." Chianti glanced at her colleague, who looked somewhat weak and was playing with a child, but remained silent.

The only point of convergence that could simultaneously focus on her and the right side of the thug's lung lobe was the commercial building a few hundred meters away from the shrine. Today the weather was clear and the visibility was good, making it a good time to set up a sniper position.

With that in mind, she and Cohen always moved close to cover during their operations—the grove of trees behind them was an example.

However, the increased difficulty of sniping also means an increase in the difficulty of counter-reconnaissance.

Locking onto a target from a high-rise building is on a completely different level of difficulty than locking onto a sniper position on the ground! Currently, only Gin and Korn in the organization are capable of instantly countering a sniper attack.

Butber not only detected the attack in advance, but he could even accurately analyze the enemy's target. The best way to avoid a long-range attack is to move continuously and irregularly until you reach the sniper's blind spot, but just now, Butber only slightly grabbed her wrist.

A guy who can do that is either incredibly strong or has some special abilities in "that area".

Come to think of it, Butber's actions just now seemed a bit familiar...

Just as I was losing the energy to recall the past, Cohen's voice rang out: "I remember, it was him at Kyoto Station on the Shinkansen."

......

Two blocks away from the shrine, in the driver's seat of a white Mazda RX7.

"What?! You said you saw Cohen and Chianti at the scene of the manhunt!" Furuya Rei held the phone to his ear, tightened the key, and prepared to leave.

This operation was a joint operation between the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department, and his subordinate, Yutaka Kazami, was one of the people in charge of the operation on behalf of the Public Security Bureau.

"Absolutely right, Mr. Furuya!"

Kazami Yuya, holding binoculars, aimed them at the Mori group hiding behind the obstacles, observing and excitedly describing: "One is a white-haired, weathered, and thin German man who always wears sunglasses; the other is a mixed-race woman with a mushroom haircut and a red swallowtail butterfly tattoo on her left eye. Just like the sketch of the figures you described earlier!"

"Because the criminals requested a change of transaction location at the last minute, our police force had not yet been deployed. During their escape, it was Chianti, Cohen, and Kogoro Mouri and his group who helped subdue them."

"Kogoro Mouri? Kazami, are you sure about their relationship?"

For months, Rei Furuya had heard of the rising star, the "Sleeping Detective." But why was this man, this senior officer once hailed as a "genius detective" by Instructor Onizuka, connected to the organization?

"Yes! I'll go find out the details right away."

Temporarily silencing communication with Kazami, Furuya Rei gripped the steering wheel tightly.

In order to investigate Butbel's identity, he used his privileges to request detailed files about the incident a few days after the vicious kidnapping incident in Izu.

The first suspect is definitely Haruya Kurome from Vienna, who has been in contact with people for unknown reasons. He is a photographer by profession and has been away from the public eye for a period of time.

But looking back now, tracking targets, gathering information, and taking photos to collect evidence are all part of a detective's job. And after Gin issued the assignment, the number of murders involving Kogoro Mouri suddenly increased. He was a policeman back then; perhaps he was connected to the higher-ups in the Public Security Bureau who betrayed Kagemitsu...

No, Rei Furuya! We must never let our emotions lead us astray without sufficient evidence!

With a "smack!" he slapped himself across the face, then rubbed his face wearily, forcing himself to calm down.

Just then, a dark shadow flashed past the car window.

A black Maserati 3500GT was weaving nimbly through traffic, its speed just barely exceeding the speed limit for that section of road. But what attracted him to this ultra-luxurious classic car wasn't its glamorous exterior, but rather—

That's the car Scotland—no, the one Scottish has been driving lately!

Without even a moment to think, Furuya Rei, like a magnetic pole being drawn in, instinctively started his car and followed closely behind the Maserati.

The report sounded again, and Kazami turned on the radio, his tone hesitant:

"Eh... Mr. Furuya, I just learned about this from my subordinates. According to them, Kogoro Mouri and his four companions got together because they were lucky in each other's fortunes."

"Five people?"

"Ah yes! Just after the crisis was temporarily averted, we discovered two other people who were with us while we were confirming the identities of the witnesses."

Kazami turned around and subtly stared at the group of people describing the incident: "One of them is Kuromon Yōya, whom you recently asked me to investigate the files, and another one seems to be his friend. During the shrine visit, they and Chianti were in the same round, and all four of them had to keep the bells silent and drew bad luck lots. The same result was drawn by Kogoro Mouri in the next batch."

Five consecutive ominous signs are no coincidence. Using signatures as a code word suggests another form of coded communication, though its specific meaning remains to be explored.

After informing Kazami of his deductions, Furuya Rei steadily followed at a distance from the three Maseratis, providing the addresses of some of the intersections ahead:

"Try to arrange manpower to set up checkpoints at these locations under the guise of tracking down the sniper, and find a way to stop the target vehicle."

"No problem, we happen to be near the location you described!"

As the green light turned on, Kazami straightened his back and made a promise to his superior while flooring the accelerator, speeding towards the building that Conan had deduced as the location of the suspected criminal.

'Under the guise of arresting the fox, I'll also take control of two groups of organized crime figures. Three birds with one stone! I, Kazami Yu, am truly the best assistant in the Public Safety Agency!'

When he snapped out of his reverie, what came into view was the rear of a dark luxury car that had suddenly turned and cut in just two meters away.

Kazami Yuya: !!!
