Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 128 I need help
"I don't want to owe you much."

The sea breeze on the deck swept over the woman's temples, and her short hair fluttered wantonly on her forehead.The cold moonlight mottled on her body, illuminating the corners of her upturned lips;
Under the torn burgundy skirt, her fair skin was alluring against the starlight.

Looking at each other with unclear meanings, Miwako Sato tilted her head slightly, and frowned: "After all, who can guarantee that you won't make a big fuss about this favor?"

"You can rest assured about this." The man with his arms bent and leaning against the railing of the deck chuckled, and the tail of the pony tied behind his head was swaying in the wind: "I have never liked to be difficult for others."

"Then... put it another way, taking advantage of others' danger?"

"You may have some serious prejudice against me." Uehara Katsumi curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied: "Or you are looking at me with colored glasses, which is discrimination."

"uh-huh."

Miwako Sato, who snorted twice, paced to the railing, put her hands against the railing, leaned her upper body slightly forward and leaned over the cruise ship, looking at the endless sea level under the starry sky, she turned her head noncommittally and said, "I'm not discriminatory." .Instead, I'm helping you understand yourself better."

"So I have to thank you well?"

"You're welcome."

"I went back and asked my aunt when she was free to play mahjong."

"..."

Miwako Sato's eyes became sharp instantly, and she walked three steps in two, stepped forward and grabbed the man's tie, looked up at him slightly and warned, "We agreed last time, the relationship between the two of us You can't ask her to make things wrong."

"I could swear to God I've never done that."

Katsumi Uehara raised his right hand, raised his eyebrows with three fingers and said seriously: "I just want to play mahjong with my aunt. Auntie is very lucky. I can win a lot of money by following her."

Miwako Sato didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.The man who didn't know what the guilt was was looking at him without fear, sparks were faintly visible between the eyes -

"what!!!"

A shrill scream suddenly sounded, interrupting the sharp atmosphere between the two of them in an instant.

"Kidd! Kidd stole my gems!!!"

The wife of the head of the contemporary Suzuki family, in the [-]th anniversary celebration of the Suzuki Foundation, the clever Tomoko Suzuki thought of making a large number of "heirlooms" and distributed them to the guests to achieve the purpose of confusing real ones. The empty gemstone base, the expression no longer looks graceful and luxurious——

"It should be to take advantage of the turmoil just now. When the police were busy maintaining order at the scene, they took care of you, Mrs. Suzuki."

Seeing Tomoko Suzuki's reaction, the police present didn't know who the real product of [Dark Night Star] was.Ginzo Nakamori, who has fought against Kidd for many years, immediately deduced the turmoil in the main venue based on this result.

That is definitely Kidd's handwriting, and it is also in line with Kidd's consistent style.

only……

Thinking of this, Ginzo Nakamori immediately turned his attention to the big star Chris Binyard who was explaining something to Megu Shisan.

As a member of the first section in charge of homicide, Mumu Shisan was supposed to be simply invited to the banquet tonight, but now Chris Binyard, a world-renowned star, was almost murdered to death in Japan ...

"Police department, the scene has been cleaned up. What Ms. Chris said is not wrong. Someone really wanted to kill her. We found a residual bullet at the scene. Judging from the traces, we preliminarily judged that the murderer used this bullet to kill her." A crystal chandelier."

Takagi She and Chiba Kazunobu, who never expected to come to the cruise ship to participate in the rich dinner for the first time in their lives and have to work overtime, told Memoshisan about their discovery.

"Collect it and bring it back when the cruise ship docks to see if you can find anything." After listening to the report, Mu Mu Shisan felt a little headache.

Did Lesson [-] make a mistake in judgment?

Didn't Kidd say not to kill people?
"Police, I feel something is wrong. Could it be that someone wants to use Kidd's name to kill someone and blame him?"

Shiratori Ren Saburo, who came back from learning about the situation from Nakamori in the second lesson, frowned: "Considering that the notice letter left by Kidd has already been exposed by major newspapers, everyone knows that he will be on this page today." A cruise ship, the possibility is not impossible."

"However, apart from the employees of the Suzuki Foundation, the people who can board this cruise ship today are all high-ranking people in Japanese society. Will these people have such a big hatred against Chris Binyard?
"Taking a step back, this is the Suzuki family's cruise ship. It's a bit too bold to kill someone and set the blame on their [-]th anniversary celebration."

Mu Mu Thirteen shook his head after pondering for a moment, still thinking that it was more likely that Kidd would do it himself: "Miss Chris, may I ask if you have offended anyone before? Some kind of deep hatred."

"Officer, if you mean the enemies who want me to die, that's too much. After all, the place I used to stay was called Hollywood."

Belmode, who perfectly played the role of the victim, had an ugly face: "This is why I quit the showbiz so early. I blocked the way of too many people."

"Is that so..."

Mu Mushisan thought: "Phantom Thief Kidd has been active for many years, but the difference is that the Phantom Thief Kidd eight years ago often traveled all over the world.

"May I ask, Ms. Chris, have you accidentally seen the true face of Kaitou Kidd, and said it unintentionally in the recent period of time.

"Although you didn't realize it yourself, Kaitou Kidd noticed this, so he took this opportunity to create an accident and kill you."

There is only one reason Mu Mu Thirteen can think of to make Kidd, who does not kill anyone, break the precept—that is, Chris Binyard accidentally smashed Kidd's real body, and had recently met with Kidd. Others have talked about Kidd's real body.

"..."

Kuroba Kaito, who looked like Xiaolan, quietly mingled not far from the police team, and he heard all the speculations clearly with his excellent hearing.

By now, he could already make it clear that he was indeed framed by someone.

He hadn't even touched the genuine [Dark Night Star] on Tomoko Suzuki's body, and the plan was completely destroyed by this mysterious spoiler hiding in the dark before it even started.

As a result, with the theft of [Dark Night and Stars], the blame placed on Kidd by the people behind the scenes cannot be shaken off for a while.

Unless he can find evidence that Kidd really had nothing to do with this—

"This is completely unreasonable. I have not participated in any public activities since I announced my retirement, and I have been keeping healthy at home in private."

Chris Binyard obviously didn't understand the speculation of Megushisan: "Tonight's [-]th anniversary celebration of Suzuki's family is my first public appearance after my retirement. I haven't mentioned anyone other than Suzuki's family at all. .

"It can't be said that Kaito Kidd is actually someone from Suzuki's family, right?"

"What about in private?"

Shiratori Ren Sanlang pondered for a moment, and said, "I mean the private gathering that you attended in private?"

"What you say..."

Chris Binyard pondered for a moment: "More than a month ago, I attended a private gathering, which was a magic club founded in memory of the late magician Kuroba Robouichi."

——? !

Kuroba Kaito on the side was still thinking in his heart which blind person was planning to frame him. After hearing this sentence, his body froze suddenly, and his pupils shrank in shock!

"Magic Club?"

"Yes, my mother once studied with Mr. Kuroba Pirates. Although I didn't have a good relationship with her, I was more interested in magic because I often watched her practice and perform at home when I was young."

Kuroba Kaito, who quickly regained his composure, turned sideways slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, his eyes fell on Chris Binyard, who was recalling the magic club list.

This woman's mother... is father's student?
Wait a minute, do you mean? !

Kaito suddenly thought of a possible Kuroba and his heart sank.

"Megure Police Department, although I don't know if it would be a bit abrupt to say this, but I really need help now."

Chris Binyard looked sad, and the weakness between his brows was almost heartbreaking: "If it is true as you speculate, wouldn't Kidd come to kill me? Can I apply to the Tokyo police for help?" Am I protected?
"I will cooperate with you and provide a list of all the people I have been in contact with and talked about in the recent period."

"Of course, we will protect you, Ms. Chris." When it comes to human life, Mu Mu Shisan has a serious face: "However, we have to go back to the meeting to discuss the specific protection plan."

"I don't know much about Tokyo police officers. May I ask, is the most powerful policeman in your Metropolitan Police Department the same Mr. Uehara I saw on the news?"

Chris Binyard pointed to Katsumi Uehara, who was talking to Miwako Sato on the deck in the distance, and his tone was full of expectation: "Can I apply for his protection? The news said he was a Super police, I think with such a police around to protect me for a period of time, then I will definitely feel safe.

"If not, what about Miss Sato? And Mr. Shiratori?

"To be invited to the banquet by the Suzuki Foundation, you must all have extraordinary skills. Can I apply to be protected by you?"

The weak blond girl blinked her eyes, her brows were full of hope, and Memu Shisan and Shiratori Ren Saburo didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sorry, I just, I—I need help, But—

"I shouldn't have interfered with your work, sorry."

Chris Binyard, who reacted like an afterthought, hastily apologized. He was a little stumbling in Japanese, and there was even a language barrier at one point, and he switched back to English, looking extremely sincere.
