In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 245 The Hospital Amidst Many Disasters

Chapter 245 The Hospital Amidst Many Disasters

The farce did not cause much chaos.

Hilarious! In Beika Town, Tokyo, where such incidents are rampant, even if someone openly bombs the Tokyo Tower, as long as they're not within the firing range, they won't even blink. That's what you call the mental fortitude of Beika Town residents.

Anyone, even an ordinary person, can quickly come up with a complicated way to escape punishment after committing a crime of passion. If they hadn't been unlucky enough to run into Conan, they might have actually managed to get away with it.

So it was just the police cooperating with detectives to catch the robbers, no big deal.

"It's all thanks to you, Brother Akutagawa. Otherwise, with a traitor like you in the Metropolitan Police Department, all our operations would have been leaked in advance, and we wouldn't have been able to catch them at all."

Inspector Megure looked deeply moved.

Although he knew that there were many corrupt police officers and undercover agents in the system, especially among the grassroots police officers who entered the system through non-civil service examinations, he was still surprised to find that it was one of his trusted subordinates.

Of course, it's also possible that undercover agents work very hard to gain trust, and losing one of the truly hard-working people would be a real loss.

After saying that, Inspector Megure pulled Akutagawa Hiko aside, looked around to make sure no one was there or any surveillance equipment, and then hesitantly said, "Akutagawa, Conan and—you know—Ai, right? That thing they're carrying is a bit dangerous—"

Inspector Megure suggested that they confiscate the weapon as a formality, but it would be best not to let the two children possess such a dangerous self-defense weapon, or at least not let others know that they had one, otherwise it would be difficult for them.

Being a detective is one thing, but everyone knows that this line of work is prone to offending people, and it's only natural to be a little dangerous. Plus, with the cooperative relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department, getting a certificate is a piece of cake.

Children lack self-control. While Inspector Megure could trust his two clever detective assistants, he couldn't resist the fact that others didn't.

Akutagawa Hiko understood Inspector Megure's predicament. The two companies had already shown great sincerity, and the money could be returned during the interrogation. Conan's watch was out of the question, but too many people had seen Ai's stun gun.

However, based on Akutagawa's understanding of Ai's backpack, the stun gun might actually be one of the safest items, on par with tranquilizer darts and batons.

"You understand us better, brother."

Keep the stun gun close to your body. After all, Akutagawa Hiko trusts and understands them so much. If he loses it, wouldn't that just cause more trouble?

Just as Akutagawa Hiko left the group of police officers and the reporters who had somehow appeared at the hospital, he was stopped by three real children with proud faces seeking praise.

Knowing what the three men meant, and that they had indeed made an outstanding contribution—the police hadn't caught a single robber, but they had subdued one—they certainly deserved high praise.

As for whether these few people will get too cocky and cause some ridiculous trouble—

But Conan is there to back them up, and compared to some beasts, these three kids are a bit of a troublemaker, and some of their actions are enough to make your blood pressure soar, but they're not bad at heart, otherwise Conan wouldn't be able to hang out with them.

The three were so flattered that they walked in unison.

After all, praise depends on who is giving it. If Akutagawa Hiko, the famous detective who is renowned in Tokyo, praised them, wouldn't that mean they could also become very good detectives?

This is much more fulfilling than learning a few obscure characters, solving some arithmetic problems, memorizing a text, and then being praised by the teacher as a genius.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you praise them like that, they'll get carried away!"

It's clear that Conan, having spent so much time with his three friends, understands their true nature very well, and he's pretty much guessed what the topics for the next few days will be about.

Anyway, he'll definitely be bragging about it everywhere.

Ai tidied her slightly disheveled black hair, which had been blown by the wind from above. She didn't care at all about her stun gun being confiscated; she had a multi-functional upgraded version. So what if the basic one was confiscated?

Hearing Conan's words, Ai Haibara's lips curled up slightly, and she retorted calmly, "Our Sherlock Holmes from the Heisei era also seems to get carried away quite often. Could it be that he's really a child too?"

Akutagawa nodded. If it weren't for his slightly arrogant and conceited personality, he wouldn't have gone to chase after Vodka alone. There were so many policemen at the scene; he didn't even think to call one.

Given his influence at the time, and the fact that he had just helped the police solve the case, this shouldn't have been difficult.

However, considering Gin's fighting prowess, it might turn into Gin single-handedly suppressing all the police, leaving at most one vodka who would be silenced by Gin.

Could it be that Shinichi Kudo charging in alone is the optimal solution?!

Conan shut his mouth in annoyance after being told that. He was indeed immature back then, but he has grown up after experiencing so many things. Can you please stop bringing up his dark history?

After returning home, Akutagawa Hiko lay on the soft, warm body of his dog, which had grown to the size of a Snorlax, while petting the cat and directing Bourbon, whose wingspan was already as long as an arm and was developing into a Gintoki, to perform fancy flights.

However, before he could even open the reputation shop and start his daily quest for the Divine Tree Fruit, he received a call from Inspector Megure.

"What?! Something else has happened?!"

After hanging up the phone, Akutagawa Hiko fell into deep thought. Was Beika Hospital being plagued by too many misfortunes lately? It hadn't been long before another murder occurred.

Neither the victim nor the perpetrator in this case are good people; it's a dog-eat-dog situation. Akutagawa Hiko originally didn't want to get involved, hoping that both of them would die together, which would be considered doing a service to the people.

The problem is that Kogoro Mouri suffered terribly in this case. Not only was he knocked unconscious with a stick, but he was also given sleeping pills every day and was framed as a murderer, becoming part of the murderer's alibi.

Most importantly, Conan's use of tranquilizer darts to drug Kogoro Mouri and solve cases led Kogoro to believe that Conan had some kind of second personality, so that he might commit murder in a dazed state, which Kogoro thought was possible.

Conan bears secondary responsibility for this.

Moreover, since Inspector Megure has already called and asked them to come over, they certainly can't turn a blind eye to it.

Amidst the roar of motorcycles, Akutagawa Hiko arrived once again at Beika General Hospital, which he had visited earlier that day.

The hospital was brightly lit. Inspector Megure, looking exhausted, stood at the entrance. Upon seeing Akutagawa Hiko, he greeted him with great joy, as if he had seen a savior.

He was highly praised by his superior for uncovering his subordinate's spy, so how could he not be happy to see Akutagawa Hiko?
