Conan: Live in the Maori Detective Agency at the beginning

At this time, the lights came on brightly, dispelling the darkness around.

Xingchen heard footsteps and turned around, only to see Sato Miwako running over first, and behind her, Mao Li Ran was supporting Suzuki Sonoko and slowly walking down the stairs.

Huihara Ai followed closely behind, and when her eyes fell on the safe and sound Xingchen, the tension in her heart finally relaxed.

"Are you okay, Xiaochen? You're not hurt." Mao Lilan asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Xingchen shook his head slightly and replied with a smile: "No, thanks to Officer Megure for coming in time."

"Great, Inspector. That's how you knew Xiaochen was here." They had found Suzuki Sonoko on the eighth floor before, but did not find any trace of Xingchen.

Conan noticed the scattered stones in the corridor and he quickly deduced that these stones might be clues left by Xingchen, so they followed the stones all the way here.

"It's nothing. I was just led here naturally, thanks to those stones." Officer Megure looked at Xingchen approvingly and said.

Xingchen noticed Officer Megure's gaze and felt a little confused.

With this look in his eyes, did I do something good?

"Inspector, are you okay?" Miwako Sato asked when she saw the blood on Officer Megure's cheek.

"It's okay, it's just that the old wound from the past has opened." Officer Megure put his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly, "It's because I didn't deal with the past well that it remained."

"I was so scared that Xiaochen suddenly didn't catch up." Suzuki Sonoko said with lingering fear.

"Ahaha, I just accidentally fell and was caught up by that gangster." Xingchen explained, touching his head embarrassedly.

"I'm glad everything is okay, but is the wound on Officer Megure's head really not serious?" said Mouri Ran worriedly.

Conan looked at Inspector Megure and muttered to himself that it should be very important. Judging from Inspector Megure's tone, he felt that he was just holding on.

Next, Kogoro Mori and others also rushed over.

Takagi Shigeru handcuffed the criminal and took him away, while Officer Megure was carried away by medical staff.

Just as Conan expected, Inspector Megure was indeed holding on.

"Things have come to an end." Haibara Ai stood aside with her hands behind her back, watching the scene in front of her and said lightly.

"Chen, you can't really be caught up." According to Conan's understanding, even if Xingchen was caught up, there are ten thousand ways to kill the criminals.

After all, the criminals were not holding any hot weapons, or they had any special identities.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Xingchen looked around and didn't see anyone else eavesdropping on their conversation, so he immediately explained, "I wanted to attract the criminal over, then activate the bracelet and punch him in the stomach. I can only say that Officer Megure saved him."

"...Good guy." Conan knew that Xingchen would never suffer any loss in this kind of thing.

"What are the stones you left behind for?" Conan asked puzzledly. If they were not to show them the way, what were those stones used for?

"Huh, what stone?" Xingchen asked in confusion without reacting.

"It's the stones you left on the road that made me worry about you so much." Huibara Ai said speechlessly with her hands on her hips looking at Xingchen.

"Oh, you mean the stone I used to trip the criminals." Xingchen finally reacted and said, stroking his head, "No wonder Officer Megure was able to find us so quickly."

"What a pity that I didn't give this scumbag a punch." Xingchen said indignantly.

"..." Conan smiled and said nothing.

"We're leaving, everyone." Mao Lilan walked over and said.

"It looks like it's going to rain outside." Suzuki Sonoko said, looking out the window.

"Or, let's eat here before leaving." Xingchen touched his rumbling stomach, blinked and looked at them to remind them.

"Yeah, it seems we didn't have dinner." Kogoro Mouri said, touching his chin.

"There seems to be a barbecue restaurant upstairs. Let's go there to eat," suggested Mao Lilan.

"Okay." Suzuki Sonoko agreed.

"Set off."

......

The next day, afternoon.

Xingchen, Conan, Maori Ran and others were picked up by Maori Kogoro as soon as they got out of school.

On the way, they also bought a bouquet of flowers and planned to visit the injured Inspector Megure.

Green Terrace Police Hospital.

"It's Inspector Matsumoto. Are you here to visit Inspector Megure as well?" Kogoro Mouri met Kiyonaga Matsumoto in the hospital corridor. He actually met Kiyonaga Matsumoto here.

"I have nothing to do, so I came to see Megure." Matsumoto Kiyonaga said, holding a basket of fruit in his hand.

"By the way, can you tell us about the secret inside Inspector Megure's hat that you mentioned last time?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously.

"Of course, this is not a secret," said Matsumoto Kiyonaga. "In fact, what is hidden under his hat is a scar."

"What, that's an old wound from a past case." Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.

"Yes, Megure wears that hat wherever he goes just to cover up the scar on his head," Matsumoto Kiyonaga confirmed.

"But for a detective, getting injured while on duty is like a medal. He doesn't need to hide it at all." Kogoro Mouri asked puzzledly.

"That scar has been there for 20 years." Matsumoto Kiyonaga recalled, "I remember that was when Megure had just become a detective. You should have heard of it."

"It's a case of a man repeatedly hitting high school girls with his car and fleeing."

"Oh, hi. Of course I've heard of it." Kogoro Mouri had indeed heard of this case, and it was also this case that he recalled before.

It’s just that at that time, Kogoro Mori had not yet become a detective. He only became a detective thirteen years ago, so he probably had just been in high school not long ago twenty years ago.

"The suspect's motive for the crime was to be threatened by bad high school girls." Matsumoto Kiyonaga paused and spoke slowly: "He usually targeted these high school girls when they were alone and then drove his car to hit them."

"This is a very bad practice. At that time, a kind of custom-made uniform was very popular among bad girl groups. It was a way of deliberately lengthening the pleated skirt."

"So these girls became his targets. At first, he would run away after hitting someone. But after hitting them one after another, he would not stop until he killed the victim."

"So, we police officers can only warn nearby high school girls not to wear such skirts outside again."

"It is true that no such tragedy has ever happened again."

"At this time, a high school girl said she was willing to take charge of luring the criminals out, and said she was doing this to avenge her dead friend."

"We naturally tried to stop her, but the girl was very disgusted with the police and ignored our attempts to stop her."

"We had no choice but to send Megure to protect the student's safety."

"But the suspect was already mad with rage and wanted to kill both her and Megure."

"Fortunately, Megure remembered the license plate number of the car and was able to arrest the suspect."

"But the price was too high. Megure was lucky to have only a wound on his head. But the high school girl suffered serious injuries to her head and body."

"When we arrived at the scene, we saw her lying on the ground covered in blood." Matsumoto Kiyonaga slowly finished the story.

"Then if Inspector Megure doesn't take off his hat it means..." Kogoro Mouri had some guesses in his heart. He didn't expect it to be such a heavy story.

"You're right." Matsumoto Kiyonaga seemed to know what Mori Kogoro said and nodded in response.
