Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 106 Rescue
It didn't take long for Otaki Goro to take several policemen to transport Numabuchi Kiichiro down from the attic.

At this moment, Xiao Ai, who saw this former member of the organization with her own eyes, no longer had the feeling of fear before, but stared straight at the other party's face, watching him being escorted out by the police.

It's just that when Kiichiro Numabuchi was about to reach the door, a sudden change occurred. He staggered and fell into the garbage pile on the side. When Goro Otaki urged him to get up, his hands were already covered with rust. Spotted kitchen knife.

In the next second, like a hungry cheetah, he pounced on Xiaolan who was blocking the door with all his strength, and the surrounding policemen never thought that the other party would survive such a desperate situation. With such explosive power, he was helpless for a while.

At the critical moment when Conan rushed to Xiaolan and planned to block the knife with his body, Kiichiro Numabuchi, who was about to succeed, let out a heart-piercing roar, and then there was the sound of metal falling to the ground .

I saw that Ishino, who had been protecting the two daughters just now, had appeared beside Kiichiro Numabuchi at this moment, and his big hand was like a pair of iron tongs, firmly grasping the opponent's hands at this moment.

Conan, who realized that he hadn't been stabbed, opened his eyes, but saw that the opponent's hands that were holding the kitchen knife were crossing together from the wrist joints in a strange shape, and even the handcuffs on both sides were pinched by Ishino's fingers. out of shape.

Just as everyone looked at Kiichiro Numabuchi, whose face was distorted by the severe pain, and breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that his sudden outburst just now had been stopped, Ishino asked directly in a harsh tone: "Quickly, what is it?" Who locked you here?! The person who can use handcuffs, is the other party a policeman?!"

Hearing the key information in Ishino's question, Conan, who was still in shock, also noticed another handcuff cut off on the other's wrist, and suddenly realized something.

He immediately took out a piece of printing paper from his pocket, carefully identified the characters in the old photo on the paper with the faint light, and had a bad guess, which was directly confirmed by the answer of Kiichiro Numabuchi over his hunch.

"Don't! Don't kill me! I'll tell you everything!" Numabuchi Kiichiro felt the threat of death from the man who snapped his wrist, and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes, "It's the policeman wearing glasses! Coach Ye's son! He has come to avenge his father!"

"It's Police Officer Sakata!" Conan was shocked when he heard this, and then he handed the printing paper in his hand to Officer Otaki and said eagerly, "In this old photo, Tejiji Inaba and Officer Sakata look very similar, they should be father and son relation."

What he said stunned everyone present, and Ishino pushed Numabuchi Kiichiro to the nearby policeman, and asked Conan who was a little panicked: "Do you know where Officer Sakata is now?"

"Oops! He should have gone to the Goji Mansion with Hattori!" Conan was so anxious that he forgot to change the name of his good brother when asked by Ishino.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone's minds were still focused on the amazing fact that the real murderer was actually the policeman Yusuke Sakata, and they didn't pay attention to the omissions in Conan's words.

"He has a gun in his hand, Hattori-kun and Councilor Koji are in danger!" Hearing Conan's answer, Ishino left the sentence and rushed out of the house, heading towards his car at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that the other party disappeared into the rain in a blink of an eye, Conan, who wanted to go with the other party, knew that he could not catch up with the other party, so he could only urge Officer Otaki to catch up with him to support Ishino.

Since there is still a vicious criminal like Kiichiro Numabuchi who needs to be escorted here, it is impossible for police officer Otaki to rush to support without leaving the prisoner, so he had to contact the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters urgently to report what he knows here.

When Police Officer Otaki escorted Numabuchi Kiichiro to the police car and asked the police officer in charge to go back to the police station first, he and another police car took the Mori family and two little girls to the Goji Mansion, Ishino had already driven several kilometers away from the park, and was on his way to Hattori's location at full speed.

Although he knew that Hattori Heiji discovered the real culprit at the last moment and prevented the killing of Councilor Koji, but Ishino vaguely remembered that the high school student detective seemed to be shot and almost burned to death in this incident.

Naturally, Ishino didn't want this young man who was particularly enthusiastic about him to have an accident because of his intervention, so he didn't plan to pin his hopes on the other party's protagonist halo, but planned to rush to the scene as soon as possible to resolve the crisis himself.

……

Three or ten minutes later, Ishino came to the courtyard wall of the Township Councilor's mansion according to the map. Before he got out of the car, he heard several gunshots from inside the courtyard wall.

Time was running out, Shi Ye didn't choose to knock on the door, but went directly over the wall into the courtyard, and quickly ran to a building with a faint fire.

When he rushed into the warehouse that was burning violently due to being shot by a gasoline drum, Hattori Heiji was leaning against a pillar, holding his belly and gasping for breath, while Sakata Yusuke on the other side was holding his injured knee and couldn't move.

Seeing someone rushing into the fire scene, Hattori Heiji suddenly looked up, and found that the person who came was actually Ishino. He just wanted to ask aloud, but he gasped because he pulled the wound.

"Don't talk, be careful that the wound will deteriorate and you will lose your life!" Seeing this, Ishino sternly stopped Hattori's movements, turned to look at Sakata Yusuke with a guilty face and asked, "I advise you not to think about dying like this, You don't want to be a coward who dared to act like those who were killed by you!"

After finishing speaking, Ishino didn't care about the other party's response, and walked directly in front of Sakata Yusuke and squatted down with his back facing him, and instructed in a commanding tone: "Climb on my back if you don't break your hand."

Sakata Yusuke, who originally had the idea of ​​committing suicide, was speechless by Ishino's harsh rhetoric, but he really did not have the idea of ​​suicide, and obediently followed the instructions and tried his best to climb onto the opponent's back.

Ishino stood up effortlessly, then went to Hattori Heiji and squatted down again, hugged each other in the posture of a princess, and took the two out of the warehouse together in a way that did not affect the wound as much as possible, and returned to the house In front of the main hall of the mansion.

The congressman's secretary in the room had just hung up the phone call from the police when he saw a strange man kick open the door, holding a person in front of him, carrying a person behind his back, and walked in as if no one else was there.

The secretary was about to ask who the other party was, but when he took a closer look, he found that the other party was holding Heiji Hattori who had visited before, and he seemed to be bleeding, so he was also taken aback, and quickly let the sofa out.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji had the upper hand compared to the pain in the wound, and the feeling of being hugged by the princess was more dominant. It wasn't until Ishino laid him flat on the sofa that he and the others in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
