Chapter 521 Lupin III
"Ok?"
"Ahem, I mean, he got injured and didn't even tell me. Sigh, he really doesn't consider me a friend."
The police officer smiled reassuringly.
"I think Mr. Furuya is probably doing this for your own good, so I hope you don't worry about him too much."
Although that's what they said, there was one thing the police officer didn't say.
Because Amuro Tooru suffered prolonged electric shocks, his nerves were permanently damaged.
However, doctors have not yet diagnosed what kind of problems this injury will cause Amuro Tooru.
After all, the human brain is very sophisticated.
Qi Ming nodded.
He has now forgotten that he knew he was the culprit behind Amuro Tooru's hospitalization.
No, it has nothing to do with him. It was clearly the people at the zoo who did it.
"That makes sense. Then I won't bother you any longer. I wish you all the best in your work."
"Haha, then I'll take your kind words, sir."
With his old friend not at the Metropolitan Police Department, Qi Ming had no reason to stay there, so he turned and walked towards the elevator.
Ding-dong-
The elevator arrived, and the doors slowly opened. Qi Ming was about to enter when he saw a familiar figure step out.
No, although they were familiar with each other, it seemed that the two had never met before.
It was none other than Kazami Yu, the top courtier under Amuro Toru!
bang-
Their eyes met, and Kazami Yuya lost his grip on the documents he was holding and they fell to the ground.
Ma, Madeira!
Why, why is this man here?!
Although they both work for the Metropolitan Police Department, they are, after all, two separate departments from the Criminal Investigation Department.
Kazami Yuya is unaware of the matter concerning the judge.
In addition, Kazami Yuya had just returned from the hospital where Amuro Tooru was, so he didn't have time to watch the news.
The two faced each other across the distance, neither of them uttering a word.
After a long while, Qi Ming glared at Kazami Yuya.
"...Are you coming out or not? If you're not coming out, don't block the elevator."
"Ah, oh."
Upon hearing Qi Ming speak, Kazami Yuya trembled and hurriedly stepped out of the elevator with his head down.
Kazami Yuya only breathed a sigh of relief after the elevator doors closed.
He suddenly felt quite ashamed.
Amuro Tooru's affairs are his affairs, and Amuro Tooru's enemies are his enemies.
But what did he just do that made him bow down to his enemy?
Kazami Yuya stood still, then slapped himself on the right cheek.
Immediately afterwards, Kazami Yuya reflexively pulled out his phone and called Amuro Tooru.
"Kazami, I told you I'm fine. I just need to recover for a while."
The call was quickly connected, and Amuro Tooru's extremely weak, bubbly voice came from the other end.
"No, Mr. Furuya! I have something to report to you!"
"what happened?"
"It's Madeira! Madeira just appeared at our Ministry of Public Security!"
"..."
After saying this, Kazami Yuya did not receive a reply from the other end of the phone for a long time.
"Mr. Furuya, what's wrong?"
Kazami Yuya asked somewhat strangely, but then he heard a clanging sound and the alarm of some kind of instrument.
What's wrong? What's that sound?
"Mr. Fangtani! Mr. Fangtani!"
Kazami Yuya kept calling out Amuro Tooru's voice, and finally received a response after a minute.
However, he did not receive a response from Amuro Tooru.
It's the doctors and nurses who are involved.
"Doctor! The patient has fainted, he's having epilepsy and is foaming at the mouth!"
"Get him to the emergency room immediately!"
Doctors and nurses now understand one of the consequences of this permanent nerve damage—
I faint at the mere mention of Madeira.
Similarly, one would probably faint upon hearing the name Qi Ming.
……
Dr. A Li's house.
The screen is showing a news report about a notorious thief.
"How powerful do you think Lupin III really is? Is he more powerful than Kaito Kid?"
"Hmm, it should be Lupin III, right?"
"I think it should be Kaito Kid who is more powerful, since no one knows what Kaito Kid looks like."
The three children discussed it with great interest, and after a while they turned to look at Qi Ming.
"Brother Qi Ming, who do you think is more powerful, Phantom Thief Kid or Lupin III?"
Qi Ming took a bite of his apple and said casually.
"They're about the same level, since their names are the same length."
"Brother Qi Ming, how can you judge who is more powerful based on the length of their name?"
"What do you know? The shorter the name, the stronger the person."
The children were clearly dissatisfied with Qi Ming's answer, and Ayumi turned to the girl next to Qi Ming and asked again.
"Ai, who do you think is stronger between the two of them?"
Across the sofa, Shinichi Kudo watched Qi Ming chatting naturally with the children and quietly nudged Professor Agasa's shoulder.
"Doctor, it's fine if a few kids come over to play, but why is Qi Ming here too?"
Professor Agasa scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Well, Mr. Qi Ming is here as a guest, so I can't possibly kick him out."
"..."
Shinichi Kudo thought Professor Agasa's explanation was quite reasonable.
But there was something else that made him feel even stranger.
Shinichi Kudo's gaze then drifted to the brown-haired little girl next to Qi Ming.
Ai Haibara.
No, why can this thing shrink back down after it gets bigger?
What, is it because you have so many of those panaceas that you can save anyone, big or small?
Or does this woman actually have some kind of mental illness and feel comfortable being a child?
"Your timing for coming back is quite perfect; you've stumbled upon a major event so quickly."
Qi Ming stretched and looked at the content on the laptop screens in the children's hands. He then looked at Haibara and smiled sadly.
Today marks five days since that escape room adventure, and Shiho Miyano returned to Japan yesterday.
As for why she has transformed back into Ai Haibara's form, it's quite thoughtful of her to spend more time with the children in this form.
"Lupin III?"
"Yeah, these guys are interesting."
Qi Ming smiled and waved to Shinichi Kudo, who was spying on them from the other side.
"Detective, come here."
"Ah, yes, yes, what can I do for you?"
Qi Ming's sudden shout made Shinichi Kudo tense up, and he immediately withdrew his previous thoughts, his tone becoming more attentive.
What the heck? Did they hear what I was thinking just now?
Fortunately, upon hearing what Qi Ming said next, Shinichi Kudo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you met this Lu Ban III, or this guy called Zuo You Men?"
Qi Ming asked curiously.
After all, the timeline of this world has been messed up, and Conan's life has been completely ruined.
Shinichi Kudo shook his head.
"No, although I've always known about him, he's been active abroad for many years, so I don't really have any connection with him."
"But since he's in Japan this time, I'd like to go and see what he's capable of."
