Returning to Tokyo, Chi Feichi still wore Shiratori Ninzaburo's face. He tied up Seiran Hoshi and put her in a courier delivery box. To prevent her from waking up early, he covered her face with a handkerchief soaked in ether. He drove to the vicinity of the back door of the National Police Agency, avoiding surveillance cameras, and placed the box next to the bushes.
It's unclear if this world is peculiar, but the number of surveillance cameras is much lower than in his previous life. Even around the National Police Agency, there are many blind spots and areas without surveillance...
Although handing Scorpion over to private bounties would yield more money, the trading partners are unknown, the trading duration is unknown, and the risks are relatively higher.
Who knows what kind of people they are? Will they try to kill him after the transaction is completed?
Furthermore, high private bounties are not necessarily enemies; they could likely be big traps.
For example, he could let Kaito Kuroba issue a high private bounty for him. If he gets caught someday, he could have Kaito Kuroba receive him as the bounty issuer.
If Kaito Kuroba is a ruthless person, they could also join hands to kill the person who caught him...
He is not short of money and does not need money urgently; it is still more trouble-free to send her to the National Police Agency.
After arriving at a hidden place, Chi Feichi changed cars, borrowed the driver's license and face of the 'new car' owner, changed his disguise, went home to put the trophy gun in the bathroom ceiling, and then went to the airport as fast as possible to take a flight directly to Osaka.
Two hours later, the plane landed in Osaka.
Three hours later, Chi Feichi was a guest at Hattori Heiji's house and incidentally sent an email to the previous contact email address of the National Police Agency.
[You have an expedited courier delivery, please sign for it next to the bushes at the back door of the National Police Agency]
Two minutes later, a group of police officers rushed out of the back door of the National Police Agency and found the large cardboard box next to the bushes.
The cardboard box also had printed paper taped to it, but this time the words were:
[Contains live evil pet, beware of water and fire, beware of injury, violent opening prohibited]
The leader, Jinbara Noboru, immediately looked serious. He observed the surroundings of the cardboard box, and after confirming that it had not been moved and the things inside had not escaped, he nodded and said, "Open the box!"
Beside him, Kazami Yuya secretly explained the situation to the other side of the headset, turned his head to see Jinbara Noboru so solemn, and had black lines on his head.
Although it was something sent by that 'July', likely a wanted criminal, and needed to be careful, a group of Public Security police officers surrounding a courier box, looking serious and cautious, was like...
Opening a package with a sense of ritual?
The drawing style is very strange.
Jinbara Noboru explained to Kazami Yuya while his subordinates were opening the package, "We found that whatever July sent, there were hints on the printed paper. Documents were documents, live couriers referred to people. The courier sent this time is labeled 'live evil pet' and also includes a reminder of 'beware of injury', indicating that it is a very dangerous criminal!"
Kazami Yuya nodded, then asked, "Why evil pet? Does pet represent anything?"
Jinbara Noboru was stunned, how would he know this?
"Ahem, this..."
The courier box was opened, revealing Seiran Hoshi inside, tied up and covered with a white handkerchief, and a large piece of printed paper——
[I, Seiran Hoshi, Scorpion]
Jinbara Noboru looked like an 'experienced person', "This is also July's usual style, he will clearly indicate on the printed paper inside the cardboard box what person or thing was sent."
Originally he didn't need to tell Kazami Yuya, but this guy seemed to have contacted Zero's people, so he must take it seriously and perform well.
A Public Security officer picked up the white handkerchief and sniffed it lightly, quickly held his breath, and checked for breathing, "It's ether, the other party has fainted."
"Seems like it's really a very dangerous wanted criminal..." Jinbara Noboru said to Kazami Yuya, turned his head and saw the 'Scorpion' label, his expression changed slightly, "Scorpion? July caught Scorpion?"
"Should be correct," Kazami Yuya repeated the words from the headset, "Just received news that people from the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department discovered Scorpion in the country. Just last night, Scorpion shot and killed a person. Currently, the Metropolitan Police Department hasn't released the news yet..."
"Send the person to the Metropolitan Police Department for identification!" Jinbara Noboru commanded his subordinates, "Fortunately we were prepared. Under the pretext of adjusting business operations, we had the courier manufacturer create a digital code combining date and location on the cardboard box. Looking at the code on the cardboard box, this box was produced in the last two days and assigned to the Cheetah Courier packaging center in Edogawa Ward. Immediately retrieve the surveillance footage near the Cheetah Courier packaging center in Edogawa Ward for the past two days. To minimize trouble sending the person over, July must have used a vehicle like a car. He would think of avoiding surveillance near the National Police Agency, but would never think that we had the courier packaging center increase surveillance!"
A young Public Security officer had a sudden idea, "Mr. Jinbara, we can actually let those courier services watch their own cardboard boxes. That way, if July steals a cardboard box, we can get the news immediately..."
Jinbara Noboru looked at this subordinate with a strange gaze. He suspected that the current Public Security police assessment was not as strict as before, "Without the opportunity to steal a courier cardboard box, he can use other cardboard boxes, or not use one at all. Our goal is not to prevent July from stealing cardboard boxes. Theft cases are not under our jurisdiction, and the value of the cardboard box does not constitute a crime. We just need to find out July's identity."
"He didn't show up during the last protection task, which shows he minds exposing his identity," Kazami Yuya reminded, "Don't go overboard."
Jinbara Noboru had Scorpion taken away and led people to check the surveillance video.
Being prepared, efficiency was naturally not low.
A group of Public Security officers quickly locked onto Shiratori Ninzaburo's face and found his police file.
Through inquiries with the Metropolitan Police Department, it was confirmed that Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly voluntarily joined the police dispatch, estimating that the purpose was to arrest Scorpion.
Very suspicious, and very regrettable...
After further investigation, a group of Public Security officers confirmed that Shiratori Ninzaburo was indeed on vacation and hadn't returned to Tokyo at all.
The abandoned car was also found, but it seemed to have been randomly 'borrowed', and traces inside the car were cleaned completely.
The investigation was terminated again, but what they could be sure of was——July knows disguise technique!
Kazami Yuya secretly reported again by phone. This July has ability, is careful and cautious, and knows disguise technique, must be taken seriously.
The voice from the headset analyzed, "July seems not to mind us investigating him. His attitude is that he doesn't want us to find out, but it doesn't matter if it's found out..."
Kazami Yuya: "..."
Forgive him for not understanding this kind of thought, it's too awkward!
"Let Jinbara Noboru contact the other party. I want to meet him. You can state Zero's identity."
"You go personally?"
"Yes, he can choose to disguise himself. I have an important high-bounty task to discuss with him. I will go alone. Just tell him that."
"I understand."
Kazami Yuya responded earnestly and conveyed it to Jinbara Noboru.
Jinbara Noboru immediately sent an email: [July, our superior wants to meet you]
Ding~ The email reply was quick:
[No time]
[It's a member of Zero, you should know what Zero represents in Japan, right? We are very sincere]
[Won't meet]
[You can meet after disguise, just wanted to meet and talk about an important high-bounty task, he will go alone]
[No interest]
A set of three refusals made Jinbara Noboru choke repeatedly.
Kazami Yuya watched from the side and relayed it to the other side of the headset, "...That's it, the other party is very wary of us."
"Are you tracking?"
"Tracking, but the other party used Noah's transit website when sending emails, unable to lock the location."
"Then take it slow, give me his email address."
"Yes!"
...
Osaka.
Chi Feichi emptied and logged out of the mailbox, logged in to his external email account, and then put away the phone.
Public Security has already found out that he disguised as Shiratori Ninzaburo, which is not surprising to him, but the action was a bit faster than he imagined. They probably made some preparations early.
The request for a meeting shows that the other party does not yet know his true identity, and the importance attached to him has increased again.
As for the important high-bounty task involving Zero, it is definitely a very troublesome high-risk task...
Won't meet, absolutely won't meet!
Hattori Heiji returned from the phone call and explained the situation to Chi Feichi, "Neither Conan nor Mr. Maori's phones can get through. They should have gone to a place with poor signal, but rest assured, Kaito Kid has never hurt anyone, and Conan will definitely be able to see through him."
Chi Feichi stood up, "Thank you for taking care of Feichi, and thank you for your hospitality. I have already booked a plane ticket, so I'll go back to Tokyo first."
"It's nothing, you also helped treat my injury!" Hattori Heiji grinned, "Went to the hospital for examination and the bones had no problem at all, the ankle swelling went down much faster, I can walk around now, it's really magical. But don't you plan to play in Osaka for a few more days?"
"No." Chi Feichi refused.
Hattori Heiji knew that Chi Feichi was not a chatty person, and did not mind Chi Feichi's attitude, "Okay, when you come next time, the injury on my foot should be healed, then I'll take you to enjoy the scenery of Osaka, and then take you to taste Osaka's delicacies! Of course, I won't lose in the competition next time!"
Hattori Heiji was very qualified as a host, directly found a police car to send Chi Feichi to the airport, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Chi Feichi didn't care much about others' eyes. Taking a police car was also an experience. Got off the car and entered the airport, checked in live animal transport for Feichi, and returned to Tokyo.
On that day, Conan and his group discovered that the castle gate was pried open, went into a state of full alert, gingerly explored, but until they finished the exploration and returned at night, they didn't find Scorpion.
Kaito Kuroba disguised as Kudo Shinichi and met Mao Lilan, dispelled Mao Lilan's doubts about Conan, and helped Conan for a while.
White pigeons flew into the night sky in line, the person who was surrounded by pigeons before was gone.
Mao Lilan went downstairs, only saw the pigeons going away and Conan standing downstairs.
Kaito Kuroba used the cover of night, flashed into the alley and left.
At the end of the alley, a black shadow stood in the shadow cast by the wall, "Using gorgeous scenes to attract the audience's attention, while reducing his own presence, using the blind spots of vision under the surrounding environment to escape, in order to achieve amazing magic effects... Very wonderful transformation into a bird."
Kaito Kuroba's steps paused vigilantly, then suddenly laughed, continued to walk forward.
"If you learn magic, you will definitely become an excellent magician. There is a technique in simple magic performances. Two people hide in a box, showing their heads and feet respectively, to perform some waist-cutting magic..."
"On the contrary, there is also magic that makes one person look like two people, usually using acting to mislead, then making the scene become complicated or chaotic."
