Feichi turned his head confusedly to look at Chi Feichi. "Master, are we ignoring that request for help?"
"Of course we'll help. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll be helpful."
Chi Feichi said as he started replying to the email.
[Haido Art Museum, please search the restrooms floor by floor. No reward needed.]
"They are at Haido Art Museum?" Feichi was puzzled.
How does Master know yet again?
"One of them should be there," Chi Feichi stood up and picked up Feichi. "Let's go eat."
While Chi Feichi left the hospital to eat, more than ten police cars sped through the streets and stopped in front of the Haido Art Museum, surrounding the entrance.
The duty staff of the art museum stepped forward in confusion. "Officers..."
"Control everyone inside," Megure Juzo got out of the car, looking serious. "Everyone be careful. Takagi and Sato might still be in the hands of the criminal. We don't know if the criminal has accomplices, but we must ensure their safety!"
"Yes!"
The large group of police officers responded in unison, their momentum imposing.
"Hey—"
Before the duty staff could say anything, he was held by two officers from left and right and taken aside.
All the police officers rushed in aggressively, divided into several teams in an orderly manner, and began checking floor by floor.
In a restroom on one of the floors, a man asked confusedly, "Um... Officer, did you hear a commotion outside?"
"Uh, yeah, seems like there are sirens too..." Sato Miwako felt a bad premonition.
The next second, a police officer quietly rolled into the door, raised his gun in alert, observed for a moment, then quietly made a hand gesture. Immediately, officers quietly entered one by one, checking each stall.
Sato Miwako saw a face peeking sneakily from a stall. Upon seeing her, he froze, then roared immediately, "Found them! Over here!"
"Report! Officer Sato and the criminal have been found!"
"Officer Sato is not in danger, but she is handcuffed to the criminal in a toilet stall! Location is the men's restroom on the fifth floor!"
"What? Miwako was imprisoned by the criminal?"
"What? Miwako is imprisoned in the men's restroom?"
"Damn it! What did that guy want to do to Miwako?"
Hearing the voices from the police walkie-talkie, the entire Haido Art Museum building boiled over. Police officers surged towards the fifth floor, roars echoing endlessly.
Before Sato Miwako could react, her handcuffs were unlocked by colleagues, and she was shielded aside.
Within a minute, the restroom was crowded with police officers. Sato Miwako was squeezed into a corner, and there were still many people waiting outside the door to squeeze in.
"Bastard! How dare you imprison an officer!"
"You bastard, what did you do to Miwako?"
Facing faces full of ferocity, Higashida huddled in the corner of the restroom. He suspected these policemen were going to eat him alive... but he didn't do anything!
Until Megure Juzo arrived, the group of policemen made way.
"Sato, are you okay?" Megure Juzo stepped forward, his face serious. "Don't worry. Attacking and imprisoning a police officer is something none of us can tolerate!"
"N-No..." Sato Miwako broke a sweat and quickly explained everything: chasing the criminal here, accidentally handcuffing herself and the criminal to the toilet pipe, hearing the criminal claim he wasn't the murderer, hiding here with the criminal, and asking Takagi Wataru to investigate the truth.
The restroom was packed inside and out with police officers, but at this moment, they all fell silent simultaneously.
"That's how it is," Sato Miwako secretly observed Inspector Megure. His face was very ugly, which made her panic. "If we go back to the MPD, Takagi will have to write a report, and the process of reopening the investigation will take a long time. Mr. Higashida won't make his flight and won't be able to attend his daughter's wedding..."
"Are we that untrustworthy?!"
Megure Juzo activated his Lion's Roar, shouting with spittle flying, "Do you know how worried everyone was about you? If we hadn't received news from July, we would still be looking for you everywhere! Everyone hasn't even had time to eat dinner tonight! Or is it that in your eyes, we are people devoid of human feelings?!"
Sato Miwako lowered her head, dodging the rain of saliva. "S-Sorry..."
Megure Juzo felt much better after venting. "Alright, where is Takagi? Sato, can you contact him now?"
Only then did the other officers remember that Takagi Wataru seemed to have been forgotten by them.
"That guy Takagi is really hateful, actually hiding this from us with Officer Sato and making us worry so much!"
"Report, Takagi's phone is turned off. Can't contact him!"
"Inspector Megure, please rest assured, we will definitely catch him!"
Half an hour later, police cars and traffic patrol cars sped through Tokyo, loudspeakers broadcasting roars full of vigor.
"Takagi, stop hiding, Sato has been caught! You can't escape anymore, advising you to surrender to the MPD immediately! Takagi, stop hiding, Sato has been caught..."
On a certain road section, Vodka was driving and watched a police car overtake them quickly while blaring its loudspeaker. "Big Brother, the police seem to be catching some escaped criminal. Tokyo isn't peaceful tonight."
Gin was silent for a while. "Go back and rest."
In a small alley in Beika, Takagi Wataru was hiding sneakily with the Detective Boys, watching police cars roar past one after another, feeling panicked inside.
"I didn't expect Officer Sato to be caught already..." Mitsuhiko was a bit dazed by the scale of the operation.
"Officer Takagi will be in big trouble when caught!" Genta shivered at the thought.
Takagi Wataru leaned desperately against the wall looking at the sky. It's over. Now that Officer Sato has been caught, if he goes back without clearing up the case, Sato will definitely be unhappy. If he doesn't go back, he becomes a lone resister. The ending won't just be miserable; it will be very, very miserable.
And with such a commotion, by tomorrow, when mentioning 'Takagi', the public will probably think he is some vicious wanted criminal on the run...
"So what do we do now?" Ayumi was worried. "There are so many police cars outside, we can't get out at all. How can we investigate the case?"
"Don't worry, I've already called for backup," Conan peeked out secretly at the street corner. Seeing a red Lexus SC, a smile rose on his lips. "Here!"
A moment later, the car stopped at the alley entrance, blocking the view into the alley.
Feichi poked his head out of Chi Feichi's collar, looking at Takagi Wataru who was wearing a hat and sunglasses like a criminal, then at the pitch-black alley and the group of children hiding sneakily in the shadows, falling into contemplation.
It suspected whether Master was really 'being helpful'.
They came over after eating and watching the commotion at the Haido Art Museum. At that time, Sato Miwako was surrounded by a group of policemen and escorted into a car, with Megure Juzo following and complaining all the way. The beautiful officer looked desperate, her head covered in spittle; it couldn't be more miserable.
It couldn't quite imagine Takagi Wataru's fate after being caught...
"Brother Chi!"
The three children saw Chi Feichi in the driver's seat and immediately became happy.
"So you are the backup Conan mentioned! Feichi is here too!"
"Finally we can ride in a car to investigate the case instead of walking. Awesome!"
"Please," Conan corrected. "Finding a car is to avoid the police's sight. If we walk directly on the road, it's very likely we'll be discovered."
Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichi. "The Professor seems to be participating in an important event tomorrow and is probably resting, so we can only trouble you."
"It's fine," Chi Feichi looked at Takagi Wataru. "Officer Takagi, are you sure you don't want to surrender?"
