"Inspector Megure, since there's nothing else, I'll take these children home!"
"Hmm... alright, but later, I'll need to trouble you all to spare some time to come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a detailed statement," Inspector Megure nodded, adding.
Although the case had been solved, necessary procedures, such as taking statements, could not be omitted.
It was indeed getting late, and Hanyu Nan wasn't interested in making a trip to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for this; he'd wait until another day when he had time.
"Ayumi, it's time for us to go," Hanyu Nan turned and said to the three little ones behind him.
"Okay!" Ayumi responded obediently.
Ayumi and the others lined up neatly and followed Hanyu Nan out of the building.
"Conan, aren't you coming home with us?" Ayumi asked, looking at Conan, who was still running around everywhere.
"No need, you guys go back first. I'll be back later tonight," Conan's mind was completely focused on the case, completely ignoring Ayumi's call.
Hanyu Nan didn't mind; Conan wasn't like the other children, he couldn't die no matter what he did.
After dropping off the three members of the Detective Boys one by one, Hanyu Nan exchanged a few pleasantries with their parents, then activated the Snake Talisman again and returned to the previous building.
Ignoring the crowd of Police and reporters downstairs, Yuusheng Nan walked directly to the corner of the staircase and retrieved the maple leaf gold coins he had made invisible with the Snake Talisman.
Standing downstairs, he watched Conan run around, searching for clues for a while. Unfortunately, the real culprit was standing right there, watching the show.
Shaking his head, Hanyu Nan carried the maple leaf gold coins home. As he left, Hanyu Nan spread his hand, and three clusters of pure spiritual energy flew directly into his palm.
"Ding, gained 30 points of spiritual energy."
A cool breeze blew, and Conan, who had been running around, suddenly stopped.
"Was someone here just now? Why do I feel like someone was watching me?"
He looked around, but found no trace. Conan could only dismiss it as his own illusion.
Tsk, he really has a Shinigami constitution, he can even sense the Snake Talisman's invisibility... Mouri Detective Agency.
Ran hummed a tune as she tidied up the messy dining table. Beside her, Kogoro Mouri leisurely drank his sake, ignoring Ran's scolding and nagging, and boredom flipped through TV channels.
"According to the latest news from this station, the three fleeing Italian robbers have fallen to their deaths from a building. Currently, the Police are still conducting an in-depth investigation into the specific cause of death. In addition, the stolen maple leaf gold coins have been successfully recovered with the assistance of enthusiastic citizens... Now, let's look at the live footage..."
"Hey, Ran, isn't that Yuusheng!" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it really is Nan, and Conan and Ayumi and the other children." Hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Ran quickly wiped the water from her hands and hurried to the television.
On the screen, Hanyu Nan was facing the camera, smiling as he recounted the story of Police-civilian cooperation, returning lost property, and how they found the lost items together.
In a bedroom at the Suzuki Estate, Sonoko lay on the bed, swinging her pale legs, her eyes fixed on Hanyu Nan on the TV, her face filled with infatuation.
"Wow, Nan is too handsome! Ahhh! Why didn't I go treasure hunting with Nan today!" Sonoko screamed excitedly, regretting it so much that she kicked her legs.
With that, Sonoko punched the teddy bear pillow next to her.
A certain villa in Country M.
Wow, isn't this little Shinichi's "arch-nemesis"! I heard this person has been lingering around Ran lately, which has made little Shinichi so anxious that he even went to his dad for help with an investigation.
A young woman with an angelic face but a girlish heart was leisurely practicing yoga.
When she saw Hanyu Nan on the TV news, she suddenly remembered the distress message her shrunken son had sent a few days ago. The person he wanted investigated was none other than this Hanyu Nan!
"Oh dear, Ran is the daughter-in-law I've chosen! Little Shinichi only knows how to bury himself in cases. If this continues, Ran will be lost to him sooner or later! No choice, in that case, I'll have to personally intervene and help you sort it out!"
The lively and somewhat childish woman tilted her head playfully. As the thought struck her, she eagerly pulled out her phone to book a flight.
A high-end apartment in Beika City.
"Oh, so this is the boy who's been appearing around Ran lately. He's quite handsome."
A light-skinned woman with a bun, brown hair, and blue eyes looked up after hearing the news, then resumed working on her current commission.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Inspector Megure listened to his subordinate's report with a grave expression.
"So you still haven't determined what kind of attack caused the three to fall to their deaths?"
"The forensic report stated that the fatal injuries of the three were from falling from a height. As for the chest injuries, the forensic doctor's result was..." At this point, Miwako Sato, who was reporting, frowned.
"What is it?" Inspector Megure asked, looking at Miwako Sato who had stopped speaking.
"The forensic report stated that the injuries were caused by being struck by a speeding car."
Bang!
Inspector Megure slammed his hand on the table: "What is the forensics department doing? Where is there a speeding car in a building?"
Seeing their usually easygoing boss so angry, the subordinates all trembled, not daring to speak.
"Inspector Megure, the Italian authorities called to inquire about the three robbers, and also... the maple leaf gold coins," Takagi Wataru rushed in and said. Noticing his boss's furious expression, he quickly Ran and sat next to Miwako.
"Three robbers died inexplicably, and we still have no leads. Even 8888 maple leaf gold coins are missing. How am I supposed to report this to my superiors now?"
Inspector Megure was also anxious and frustrated. The number of maple leaf gold coins didn't match, Italy kept asking for updates, and now the people were dead, with no way to verify their claims. The other party would surely say they were hidden.
Involving a foreign case, the superiors had been paying close attention, and his current pressure was immense.
"Investigate, thoroughly investigate! I don't care how the three robbers died, or what weapon caused it. I just need to know who the culprit is, and what organization they belong to!" Inspector Megure, full of rage, gave his orders.
"Yes!"
However, these Police officers were also completely at a loss, not knowing where to start. There were no traces in reality, no one had witnessed the culprit, and they couldn't even determine whether the other party was organized or an individual... The mastermind, at this moment, had already returned to his cozy villa, lying comfortably in bed, ready for a sweet dream.
