I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

For a moment, Shinichi didn't know what to say about Officer Megure's blind trust.

After all, we are all old acquaintances who have worked together for several years.

What's more, because of Officer Megure's original decision, he still holds the title of honorary consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, and has a fixed salary every month, which can be regarded as using money to do things.

The incident took place in a jewelry store on the fourth floor of Mihua Mall.

A very brave robber broke in alone with a gun, intending to steal jewelry.

Then a braver jewelry store employee pressed the alarm button in an attempt to scare off the robbers, and was shot in the leg.

Then, several mall security guards who were braver than these two discovered the situation and blocked the door of the jewelry store directly outside.

Ever since, a simple jewelry store robbery was forced to turn into an incident where the robbers kidnapped the entire jewelry store at gunpoint.

"...This is the situation now. The robber requested to speak to us."

The Chiba police officer who arrived early reported the collected information.

"Are there any injured? This is a problem."

Inspector Mumu frowned.

Generally speaking, the police usually delay this kind of hijacking incident to think about the best solution.

But now there is an additional injured person in the jewelry store. Although he was only shot in the leg, if not treated in time, his life may be in danger due to excessive blood loss.

If this case is not solved properly, the police department will be in trouble.

"By the way, these are the security guards who discovered the situation and blocked the robbers."

After Police Officer Chiba finished speaking, he introduced the few strong men following him.

"Thank you for your help."

Facing them, Officer Megure saluted seriously and said thank you.

Although he made the situation worse, his starting point was good and he couldn't say anything more to accuse him.

"What should we do now? Shinichi."

Sonoko, who had been excited all the way, arrived at the scene and felt much more at ease. He pulled Shinichi's clothes a little nervously.

She just likes fun, not the kind of terrorist who loves danger.

"What else can we do? Of course we need to start the routine negotiation process."

Shinichi spread his hands, looking like there was nothing I could do.

If no one was around, there might be something he could do.

But now there were so many police officers and onlookers, and in full view of the crowd, we had no choice but to watch.

Anyway, there is only one robber. With the abilities of Officer Memu and the others, they can still solve it... right?

Little did Shinichi know that Officer Megure had given up thinking at this time.

"Brother Kudo, what do you think we should do now?"

Are you in such a hurry to get off work?

Shinichi glanced at the fat police officer in front of him speechlessly.

"Anyway, let's talk to the robber first.".

Chapter 20 Hostility from the Flower of the Metropolitan Police (1/4)

　　In a jewelry store on the third floor of Mihua Mall, a man wearing a blue rider uniform and a blue helmet, who looked like a starved delivery boy, was pacing back and forth in the store with a pistol.

He didn't want to end up in this situation. He usually only dared to rob banks and the like, and hijacking a jewelry store was completely unexpected.

But now it is impossible to get off the tiger!

In front of him, the staff of the jewelry store and a few unlucky customers who happened to be in the store skillfully gathered in the corner, holding their heads and squatting in defense.

Those who live in Mihua City have seen a lot of this kind of scene, and some have even experienced it personally.

It can only be said that there is no difficulty in cooperating with the robbers.

Some people even secretly pressed the record button on their mobile phones, intending to record the sound of the incident so that they could later sell it to the media to make a fortune.

Living on the mountain and living in Mihua, some people have gradually developed this unique way of making extra money.

Between them, there was a man who was half-leaning against the wall and had undergone emergency treatment. His legs were tied with cloth strips, but blood was still seeping out.

He was the jewelry store employee who bravely pressed the alarm button.

Finally, the robber stopped wandering and came to the injured person. After looking at the injured person for a while, he found that the injured person was still holding on, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was bad enough that it turned into a kidnapping case, but if it turned into a murder case, he might as well just go out and turn himself in.

By the way, how about surrendering?

As soon as this thought appeared, it lingered in his heart, but he did not notice that a figure suddenly stood up among the hostages behind him.

……

At the same time, outside the jewelry store that was only separated from him by an iron gate, Officer Megure had received the latest information from the capable Takagi.

"The robber entered the jewelry store with a gun at 35:[-]. He shot a jewelry store employee and prepared to leave. However, the mall security guard pulled down the jewelry store's gate outside, and the robber has been hiding in the store since then."

hide?Wasn't he locked up in the store?

Shinichi listened to Takagi's report and complained secretly.

During the lunch hour, there were very few staff or customers in the jewelry store, and the total number of hostages in the store was less than ten.

But even so, it is still unrealistic to take coercive measures. Picking up the loudspeaker, Officer Megure prepared to talk to the robbers first.

"Officer Megure, wait a moment."

Shinichi raised his eyebrows and suddenly stopped him.

"What's the matter? Brother Kudo, there is still an injured person inside. Time waits for no one."

The police officer asked in confusion.

He didn't think Shinichi was a person who would put other people's lives in danger, but the situation was urgent, so his tone was still a bit serious.

"Don't worry, I just think there is no need to negotiate."

Glancing into the jewelry store through the gate, Shinichi explained with a smile.

Although he didn't see it, he could still hear the dull collision of human bodies with the ground, as well as people's cheers.

"Huh? Why..."

Of course, Officer Megure's hearing was not as good as Shinichi's. Just when he was about to continue asking something, he found that the gate of the jewelry store behind him was slowly opening.

Standing at the door was a handsome and capable woman with short hair.

Behind her, the boy who was starving to death had been pinned to the ground by the enthusiastic hostages. Even his helmet was taken off, revealing an ordinary passerby's face.

"I-I can't breathe!"

Seeing that the robber was about to be crushed to death by the hostages, police officer Chiba and others immediately rushed into the jewelry store and rescued him.

By the way, he also received a pair of silver bracelets as a gift.

"Are you...Officer Sato?"

Officer Megure shouted in surprise when he saw the woman surrounded by hostages thanking her.

Standing in front of him was Miwako Sato, a subordinate who was sent to Scotland Yard for training three years ago and was known as the flower of the Neon Metropolitan Police Department.

Although he received the news that Miwako Sato was about to resume her job, Megure did not expect to meet her here, which made him almost not believe his eyes.

"Long time no see, Memu Police Department!"

After getting rid of the enthusiastic crowd, the woman who called herself Sato Miwako came over and saluted her boss.

"I didn't expect that Officer Sato would already be arresting criminals as soon as you came back. It seems we should work harder!"

A case was solved so quickly, and Officer Megure was very excited.

Even Takagi, Chiba and other people from the Metropolitan Police Department were affected by their emotions, and they even showed admiration for Sato Miwako.

"Are you the high school detective known as the savior of the neon police, Kudo Shinichi?"

It's rare to encounter a case but don't need to take action on your own. Shinichi, who was watching a show and was excited, was suddenly approached by Sato Miwako.

"I'm Kudo Shinichi, but I'm not really a detective. I just helped Officer Megure with some help. That title was just written by some newspapers."

Shinichi answered honestly.

He considers himself not a detective, and strictly speaking, he is only Officer Megure's savior. At most, including Takagi and the others, he is not that capable, nor is he in the mood to save the entire Sakura Country police. .

"Whether it's true or not, with me in the Metropolitan Police Department, I will let others know that the police are also capable of solving cases on their own, without the help of a high school student!"

Sato Miwako looked at Shinichi in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze, wondering how this boy, who seemed to have nothing special except for being handsome, helped the police solve so many cases in the three years since she left.

Of course nothing was found.

Without waiting for Shinichi's reaction, she got into the police car with the robber and personally escorted him to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Even if she has not been formally reinstated, as a direct witness and solver of this case, she is also obliged to assist the police in completing detailed records of this case.

When his subordinates spoke like this, the boss, Officer Megure, could only smile at Shinichi and then retreated.

"What! How can that woman talk like this!"

Sonoko stood beside Shinichi and defended him.

She had obviously helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve so many troubles, but a mere newcomer actually said such a thing, which made the stubborn young lady very dissatisfied.

"What does it matter? If I can have less trouble in the future, then I have to thank her."

Shinichi was noncommittal about this.

He could tell that this policewoman did have some abilities, at least much better than Takagi and the others.

If the Metropolitan Police Department could ask for less help from him in the future, he would be able to laugh out of his dreams.

Naturally, there won't be much reaction to Miwako Sato's words.

"Okay, didn't you say you wanted to buy some limited-edition clothing? Why don't you hurry up?"
