Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1283 "Lovers" Parting Ways

The footage of the parachute opening was clearly transmitted to the cabinet meeting room via a remote camera.

The officials were both amazed and relieved. Although they didn't know why the explosion had suddenly occurred, the fact that the parachute had opened meant that the disintegrating return capsule could land safely and would not crash into the Metropolitan Police Department building.

The NAZU command post was also relieved; if the return capsule had actually crashed in Tokyo, it might have caused diplomatic problems.

The person in charge ordered that the new crash site be calculated immediately so that people could be sent to retrieve it later.

The explosives detonated, naturally destroying the drone as well.

The screen on the remote control in the hands of the three little devils suddenly turned into static, then the screen went dark and began flashing the "NO SIGNAL" message.

"Huh?" Mitsuhiko exclaimed in surprise.

Ayumi shook the remote control, somewhat puzzled, and said, "The screen suddenly went black."

Yuan Tai was sweating profusely: "Did we crash into it?"

The three children looked at Curaçao and asked in confusion, "Didn't they say they installed an automatic avoidance system?"

Curaçao feigned confusion, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's out of power? You guys have been playing all day and haven't had a chance to charge it."

The three little ones were greatly disappointed. They hadn't even seen the return capsule flying in the air yet, so how could it have run out of power?

Shiho Miyano let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed her shoulders, and muttered, "Looks like it was a success."

At that moment, Fumiichi Haba walked over with a look of surprise on his face. Behind him was a green screen, which had just been used to composite the image of the helipad.

He had witnessed the entire incident. Although the three little ones were unaware, he understood it all—the drone hadn't lost signal due to a lack of power. As for the real reason…

Forget it, it's not good for these people to delve too deeply; they don't look like police officers.

However, he still had a question in his mind and couldn't help but ask: "Who exactly are you people?"

When he suddenly appeared in front of him, if Amuro Tooru hadn't contacted him beforehand, he would have thought that his identity had been exposed and that the police had sent people to arrest him.

Shiho Miyano glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "We...should be considered assistants to a famous detective, right?"

"Huh?" Haba Fumiichi was a little confused. Assistants... he'd only ever heard of assistants in the Public Security Bureau, not detectives...

Legend has it that there is a mysterious base that trains detectives, teaching them all sorts of knowledge—popular, obscure, shady, and strange skills.

Furthermore, detectives often conduct illegal investigations themselves; do they really need assistants? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing.

Metropolitan Police Department, rooftop helipad.

Amuro Tooru was communicating with someone, and after a moment he replied, "Understood."

He hung up the call and turned to look at Yuya and Conan: "It was a success."

Yuya and Conan breathed a long sigh of relief. That's great.

If they fail, they need to escape from here as soon as possible.

At that moment, several police officers appeared on the tarmac; they were there to arrest Makoto Kusakabe.

Makoto Kusakabe offered no resistance, obediently extending his hands to be handcuffed. Before leaving, he suddenly looked at Tooru Amuro: "Haba... he..."

Amuro Tooru hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Yuya.

Yu understood what he meant, dialed Shiho Miyano's video call, and told her to have Fumiichi Haba answer the call.

The scene shifts, and Shiho Miyano points her phone at Fumiichi Haba, allowing him to have a video call with Makoto Kusakabe.

“Hababa…” Makoto Kusakabe stared blankly at that familiar face, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Mr. Kusakabe, we are still of one mind," said Haba Fumiichi solemnly.

Kusakabe Makoto smiled with satisfaction: "Ah, yes."

The police officer didn't say much, only saying, "Let's go."

They then took Makoto Kusakabe away.

Suddenly, a figure rushed towards Yuya and the others.

They looked up and were surprised to find that it was Tachibana Kagami, with Kazami Yuya following behind.

"Numi!" Tachibana Kyoko gasped for breath, staring blankly at Haneba Nijisanichi on the screen, her eyes trembling. "I can't believe... you're still alive!"

Kazami Yuya was equally shocked. He swallowed hard and looked at Amuro Tooru, saying, "You really are... a terrifying person."

Amuro Tooru remained expressionless and offered no explanation.

Tachibana Mirror murmured, "I never imagined you were also an assistant... and an assistant to a public security prosecutor at that!"

It seems that Tachibana Kyoko already knows the truth about Haneba Fumiichi's "death".

Yuya looked at Tachibana and said, "Attorney Tachibana, you're an assistant too, right? Like Inspector Kazami's..."

Tachibana Kyoko didn't deny it, which was tantamount to admitting it. She looked at Yuya and slowly said, "You once asked me why I hired Nisanichi..."

Four years ago, Yuba Nizoichi lost his legal practice qualification and was blacklisted and placed under surveillance by the public security police.

The police were asked to hire Tachibana Mirror and report on his whereabouts regularly.

However, during the time they worked together, Tachibana Kyoko found herself gradually falling in love with him.

In fact, Haba Nissanichi also had the same feelings for Tachibana Kyoko, but because of the theft, he had to go into hiding and keep his feelings for her to himself.

The incident occurred a year ago due to the illegal intrusion into NAZU.

Tachibana Mirror was tasked with getting the suspect convicted, so she began gathering intelligence and information.

Unexpectedly, Futaba suddenly appeared at the game company frequented by the suspect and was arrested by the police on charges of theft.

Tachibana Kyoko desperately begged the Public Security Police—perhaps Kazami Yuya—to save Haba Futaka, but he committed suicide in the detention center.

She thus began to resent the public security police, closed her agency, and became Kazami Yuya's "assistant" while waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

The opportunity finally arrived—the incident where Kogoro Mouri was accused of committing a bombing.

Kazami Yuya asked Tachibana Kyoko to defend Kogoro Mouri's innocence.

She didn't know why the police were doing this, but since it was their request, she would let Kogoro Mouri convict her!

So she betrayed Kazami Yuya and tried every means to convict Mouri Kogoro—which is why she behaved so strangely during the time she was preparing the materials and evidence.

However, before her plan could be officially launched, the IOT terrorist attack occurred, and the police therefore merged the bombing case and the terrorist attack into a single case for investigation.

Kogoro Mouri was acquitted, and her revenge plan failed.

To her even greater surprise, Haba Futaka was not dead, but was protected by the Public Security Police, whom she considered her enemy, and was alive and well.
