Chereads / Conan: I'm Really a Good Person / Chapter 131 - As Expected of Me

Chapter 131 - As Expected of Me

Team one is checking the surveillance and guarding the perimeter to break the code, team two is guarding the perimeter and ready to open the door at the same time as team one, and team three and four are standing by outside to prepare an exit route.

Though almost never used.

Teams five and six were among the bar patrons, spread out to protect the patrons, ready to evacuate the innocent in the event of an accident.

They have a lot of experience.

Though they only have a lot of experience in the field of "First time in a formal operation, I'm nervous! And they don't even know they have experience.

Team seven and eight...

Team 22 is deep in the enemy, hard to pretend to be a master of love, has attracted enough attention, many staff passing by are casting a gawking gaze.

Team 25 is on standby to snipe from 500 meters away from the bar, and after Ichijō Mirai's rigorous scrutiny, he realizes that the sniper hasn't done any automatic replenishment of observers, stealing of bullets, or headshots.

He was very pleased.

Team 26 has successfully arrived at the convenience store behind the bar, and is slowly making their way to the 30th lap.

Team 28 is holding down the fort in the police file room.

Team 29 is on pins and needles at the bar, and the conversation with the young women is getting into adult topics that the blondes can't handle.

The blonde was a bit overwhelmed by the conversation. 'You're a pretty blonde, you've got a nice nose, and you'd look cute in a blindfold...right?' and 'I'm more fun to play with'.

Ichijō Mirai is holding the eye mask in his hand.

Ichijō Mirai had no way to deal with the blond classmate who did not forget to fish while performing an important task. He could only sigh repeatedly, indicating that he was helpless, and temporarily cut off the communication channel, considerately leaving a private space for his classmate.

In the headset, team 26 somewhat impatient voice rang out, "I've already made thirty turns, what do you want me to buy at the convenience store?"

Matsuda Jinpei was a bit skeptical, "Kujō-san who never holds a grudge?"

That was a signal.

Ichijō Mirai immediately spoke up and ordered Teams one and two, "Open the mechanism."

"Someone reported the incident on the first floor to the dear chief. They're in the office."

It's about Kenji Hagiwara hitting on 'ma'am' on the first floor.

The person who reported it is the person who the 'madam' has taken into her own hands, but is still the chief's confidant.

The reason for the report was to find out if and how soon the chief was going to leave, whether he was going to take her with him, or not, but leave the bar to his beloved.

Ichijō Mirai also dispersed the neighborhood when he went to report on the test, which was a good time to attack, even for a novice.

Ichijō Mirai, sensibly refraining from thinking about the experience of having to spend two filings for a rookie, replied to Matsuda Jinpei, "You've already done thirty rounds, so you should be familiar with the location of most of the items in the convenience store, right?"

"Get the sugar."

He said in a deep voice, "I didn't get the bomb, so we'll just have to have some fun with the sugar."

Sugar makes bombs.

Matsuda Jinpei: "?"

"It's the third shelf on your right," Ichijō Mirai thoughtfully advised, "and then turn right into the household goods section and pick up some laundry detergent."

"Buy one cigarette and ten tin cans of candy."

Matsuda Jinpei: "??"

"Then wait at the door for a minute."

Ichijō Mirai smiles at a passing coffee shop attendant, drops his eyes and continues to command, "Stand still and a coffee shop attendant will come to you with a dessert that a friend has ordered for you, with sniper bullets in the dessert bag."

And add, "Ten."

Matsuda Jinpei: "???"

"Uh, well," Ichijō Mirai anticipates, and answers leniently, "I'm sure you'll do as you're told."

He cut the comms and spoke to Morofushi Hiromitsu, "Stand by, in six minutes, someone will be fleeing through the back alley, shoot him in the thigh and disable him."

Wait a few more seconds, call the other teams near the bar, tell them to prepare their evacuation and retreat routes, then call Team one and two, "Report."

Hashimoto Yūhito of Team one is looking at the surveillance.

There are some special places that can't be seen from the surveillance room, such as the office where the chief is having a casual conversation with his inner circle, but he can see the corridor outside the office for early warning.

At this point, he immediately reported: "The corridor is empty."

"Former guards have entered the lounge and are smoking out the window."

Report back, "Team two in sight."

Team two is still crouching.

It's a time-consuming method, but it doesn't make a lot of noise, and it's the weakest infiltration the cadets have ever made, so it's quite suitable for novice babies.

They lined up one by one, cautiously mushroomed to the door, strained their ears to hear what was going on in the office, but the soundproofing was too good to hear anything, so they gave up and reported back to Ichijō Mirai, "We've arrived at the target location."

"We've arrived at the target location." And with detailed instructions that even a novice baby can take harmlessly, "Wait three minutes."

"The chief will come out first. No. 1 take him, but don't kill him. Put a gun to his head and threaten his men."

"Two minutes."

"One minute."

"Appeared."

With Ichijō Mirai's voice, the office, which had been quiet to the point of silence, suddenly stirred, and the door to the office slammed open, and a suited man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties stepped out with a sullen look on his face.

He was still a bit angry, "You..."

The reprimanding words overlapped with Ichijō Mirai's soft-spoken voice, "Do it."

In a few moments, No. 1 had gotten into the habit of following orders, and without thinking, he lunged straight at the man in the suit, covering his mouth and twisting his neck in the process, then reacting to the fact that he was met with very little resistance this time, and was not patrolling the guards, he let go immediately.

No. 2 drew his gun, pointed it at the two men on the ground, and said in a quiet voice, as if he'd been prepared, "Stop and put your hands up."

He stared earnestly at the chief's men in accordance with Ichijō Mirai's calm 'draw your gun, say stop and raise your hands, and look at your men' command.

The men who had their heads hanging down and their eyes lowered: "...?!"

No. 3 similarly draws his gun and repeats earnestly, "Get in there!"

He pushes the raised hand into the office, reaches for the chief's arm, drags him into the office as well, and reports, "Done!"

No. 4 enters, heads straight for the office, rustily enters the password on the computer, searches for a few seconds, finds a piece of software and opens it, "Taking over surveillance and elevators."

No. 5 closes the door. 

He didn't enter the door, he closed the door directly outside, closed the door and went to the elevator entrance to standby, "Have arrived at the target location."

The report was accompanied by the office door being slammed open and thrown shut.

The henchman came out in a panic, glanced at the elevator and ran away, and there were panicked voices in the office, "Report, Kujō-san, the henchman has escaped!"

The panic lasted less than a minute.

The sound of a sniper's rifle rang out, and the world went silent for a beat.

Then there was a sudden outburst of panicked screams.

From bar patrons, from the crowds in the streets, from the people of Tokyo.

In the midst of the panic, Ichijō Mirai said nonchalantly, "Well, I knew you wouldn't be able to handle it, and I've put another student in charge of it."

He ordered No. 4, "Take control of the elevator to the first floor, wait ten seconds, and then take control of the elevator back."

How could anyone take the elevator in this time of panic?

But No. 4 did as he was told.

Twenty seconds later, the elevator came down from the first floor with a crisp beep, and three people came out.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was carrying a large bag, Furuya Rei, who helped carry some things, and Kenji Hagiwara, who smelled of perfume.

Matsuda Jinpei has a blank face, Furuya Rei has a happy face, and Kenji Hagiwara has a lipstick mark on his collar.

Their brows are all twitching a bit, and they look like they want to hit someone for a second.

Student No. 5 greeted them, repeating, "We'll work with you to make the explosives."

"Morofushi-san is already on the run, don't worry, it's just some desperate media chasing after him."

"Don't worry, Morofushi-san isn't wearing a blindfold."

It's just that he's in a mess, he hid his sniper rifle and got caught up in the stairwell by the media, so he had to do a parkour run up the stairs.

"Really, really, really, please don't worry, the chase scene isn't broadcast in real time, it's not official, it's a cameraman from a small TV station, and there's still three minutes left before the emergency news starts."

"By then, Morofushi-san will have successfully left."

"The news will only show the video."

These words were repeated by student No. 5.

Furuya Rei, who was specifically named and asked to be reassured:"..."

He tried to ignore some of the repeated whippings, "...Kujō-san, weren't you sniping as well?"

You're not being chased?

No. 5 relayed, "Unfortunately, I had to leave for a few moments, and I'm sorry to have missed the important event of parkouring on the news, I'm very sorry."

That's a bit shameless.

Furuya Rei immediately realized the truth: Ichijō Mirai had predicted that he would run away in a mess and leave behind a precious image, and so he died as a friend.

Even No. 5, who was repeating the story, was silent for a moment before continuing, "The police had already surrounded the bar, and Wataru, who was leading the way, retreated first."

"I had the good fortune to know a TV news director, an announcer, a guide, and ordered... requested them to rush to the news, and in one minute they would break through the police cordon for an emergency broadcast."

"Make the bomb bigger, make the scene more sensational, there are no outsiders now, as long as the chief is blown up, there will be no evidence against him, and we will be the heroes who fought hard to avenge the death of the criminal who accidentally detonated the bomb and nearly died!"

Others: "..."

"Of course it's a joke, we're police academy students," Student No. 5 relayed, "I overheard when I was stepping on the spot yesterday that this chief has a source in the police, if he falls into the hands of the police, he might..."

"Although he has destroyed countless families, killed three or four people with his own hands, and one of the deceased's wife had just gotten pregnant."

Paraphrasing, student No. 5 furrowed his brow, broke off for a moment, visibly uncomfortable, and then mentally shook, "But the police sergeant who rushed to the scene was Inspector Inuo."

"He is a brave and selfless officer of justice."

"Anyone could have had an unnatural relationship with this chief, but not Inspector Inuo, he will deal with this chief justly."

No. 5's spirits rose, "Now make the bomb."

"This chief has a secret room in his office on the first floor, it contains a variety of illegal drugs, many of which... After last night's operation, he temporarily locked the secret room, and it will take a year to open it through the normal channels... If we want to capture all of them, we have to blow it up..."

"Blow up."

And then sweetly commanded, "There are certain blonde students who don't want to be in the news, and I sympathize with the resistance of certain brown-skinned students, so we can retreat."

"There are two teams waiting in the alley, one is confronting the police and one is guarding the back door, you can leave after you make the bomb, get in your car and retreat immediately."

"Remember to check your cash bag...sorry about the visualization...thought I was robbing a bank."

"Of course, I didn't rob a bank."

Everyone: "..."

Ichijō Mirai definitely hadn't robbed a bank, Furuya Rei believed that, but, "You..."

He couldn't help it, "Couldn't you just say it to us through the headset?"

Why do you need someone to relay it!

"I think that being paraphrased by No. 5," No. 5 paraphrased honestly, "would lower some of the hate value I'm pulling in."

"Shouldn't that reduce it a little?"

Thank you, no.

After paraphrasing, No. 5 pointed to himself with some pride, "Kujō-san was talking about me."

He didn't know what he was proud of, but he was proud to hear Ichijō Mirai seemingly recognize his own words.

He added, "The press is coming."

"Let's get moving. Inspector Inuo is a righteous and selfless Chief Inspector, but he's a little too stiff to blow up the secret room, so let's do it."

The righteous Inspector Inuo would have taken the money for himself.

Ichijō Mirai encourages, "Go for it."

"So, unlike the night raid on the dormitory, this time you all had a lot of fun, didn't you? Especially Morofushi-san."

"Not bad."
