The immense force caused the Little dark silhouette's outstretched arm to snap back to his chest, and the tremendous kinetic energy propelled his body backward. He then crashed heavily onto the wall on the opposite side.
"Hehe, it seems you've outsmarted yourself," Senichi mocked as he watched Senzo Ogura, who was still catching his breath after a narrow escape. "You thought you could lure us away, but it turns out they were genuinely prepared to eliminate you. The funny thing is, you even helped stage your own suicide. I wonder how that feels?"
"....."
Clearly unnerved by Senichi's taunts, Senzo Ogura remained silent for a moment before hoarsely asking, "Who are you?"
"One of the officers escorting you," Senichi replied with a smile. "You're quite an important figure, and your arrest is likely making your organization nervous. They might attempt something during your transport. So, I volunteered to come along. Now that this is settled, I think it's time you tell us who's behind you."
"Oh, don't worry. I'll tell you everything," Senzo Ogura said with a sinister smile. "As a token of gratitude for the surprise they brought me."
After apprehending the Little dark silhouette and escorting both him and Senzo Ogura back to their seats, Sato Miwako also returned to her seat after resolving the prank.
Seeing the two of them escorting an unfamiliar man to the vicinity of their seats, she couldn't help but express her surprise, "Officer Senichi and Officer Takagi... who is this?"
Senichi patted the Little dark silhouette on the back with a smile and said, "Ah, this guy is Akira Akashi, another big fish we've caught."
"And Senzo Ogura is willing to tell us who's the leader of the drug operation," Takagi added, smiling along.
"You mean he's willing to reveal who the leader of the drug operation is!?" Sato Miwako exclaimed in disbelief after hearing Takagi's words.
"This time, thanks to Officer Senichi, the situation turned out much better than expected," Takagi admitted, still feeling a bit shaken. If Senichi hadn't accompanied them on this mission, things might have taken a very different turn.
Later, Takagi vividly recounted the events that had transpired to Sato Miwako.
"It seems Officer Senichi predicted this situation quite accurately," Sato Miwako remarked with relief. "Thank goodness for that, or we could have been in real trouble."
"Yeah, it's easy to talk about salary deductions, but we might have even lost our jobs..." Takagi added, nodding in agreement.
At that moment, Conan approached and noticed the stranger sitting in Takagi's seat with his hands covered. He hesitated and asked, "Officer Senichi... what happened?"
"That's right, it's all settled," Senichi stood up with a smirk. "We've apprehended the culprit. By the way, did you solve your puzzle?"
"....."
Hearing Senichi's words, Conan's dead-fish eyes seemed even more lifeless.
Ugh!
I just figured out the key based on your hint, and you've already wrapped everything up?
What's the point of playing now!
The taste of defeat wasn't pleasant, but Conan had grown somewhat accustomed to it.
So, Conan quickly adjusted his mindset and leaned in close to Senichi's seat, whispering, "It's the newspaper, right? The code in the newspaper."
Conan held up a newspaper with the front-page headline announcing the arrest of his idol, "World Cup Hero Arrested."
"The English abbreviation for 'World Cup' is 'w·c,' which fits perfectly with 'w·c' in the message that was passed to Senzo Ogura," Conan explained. "So, officer Senichi, you must have noticed the information conveyed to Senzo Ogura when his accomplice you arrested passed by him, which is why you said 'everything is under control.'"
"That's right, exactly," Senichi shrugged. "While I initially thought his accomplice wanted to help him escape, it turns out he was planning to eliminate him."
Conan became even more frustrated after hearing Senichi's explanation. In this case, his defeat was in the realm of deduction, something he had prided himself on. But when compared to Senichi...
Ouch, that hurts oRz...
But in reality, Senichi had cheated. He could discover the communication between the two because he had prior knowledge that Senzo Ogura's accomplices were planning something on the train, so he kept a close watch on Senzo Ogura.
When the disturbance occurred, the actions of those three pedestrians naturally drew Senichi's attention. Even though the eye contact and subtle movements between the two were discreet, they couldn't escape Senichi, who had been closely monitoring Senzo Ogura from behind.
However, Conan was unaware of these details. So, after Senichi confirmed the answer on his end, he went back with a downcast expression.
Senichi, on the other hand, was in high spirits as he opened the panel and began checking the rewards for this mission.
[Criminal's 'Suicide' on train]
[Completion Rating: Perfect]
[Congratulations, the host has acquired an item: Portable Oxygen Generator]
[Evaluation: Successfully prevented Senzo Ogura's death, leading to the capture of the drug lord and his subordinates without any resistance, thereby disrupting the drug distribution channel and further altering the course of destiny.
By preventing this tragedy and changing its course for the better, you have gained favor from fate!]
[Portable Oxygen Generator: A small, lightweight, nose-plug-style mini oxygen generator. Once activated and placed in the nostrils, it can generate the required oxygen, ensuring sufficient oxygen supply in oxygen-deficient environments.]
[Note: Are you still troubled by not being able to swim? Worried about falling into a river and drowning? Afraid of oxygen-deficient environments?
You deserve to own this portable oxygen generator, suitable for any oxygen-deficient environment. No more worrying about oxygen deficiency, Mom!]
Overall, Senichi was quite satisfied with this item. As an officer, he needed to be prepared for various unexpected situations. With this portable oxygen generator, he had essentially ensured that he wouldn't drown or die from lack of oxygen, which could happen for various reasons in Conan's world, such as drowning or avalanches are common occurrences in the Conan universe.
In summary, this item might not be needed in everyday situations, but when it's needed, it becomes a lifesaving tool in a crisis.
For weapons that specialized in a particular area, although they couldn't compare to items like nerve-enhancing agents in terms of power, Senichi adopted a "more is better" attitude. After all, the more of these items he had, the harder it would be to kill him.
With his safety factor increased once again, his survival level +1~
In a good mood, Senichi, along with Takagi and Sato Miwako, escorted the two criminals to Tokyo.
