Detective Little Bros Are All Kind of Freakish

At the director's instruction, one of the cameramen pointed the camera at Camera Position 13.

On the screen wall of the broadcast van, an image of another criminal was displayed.

The assailant's name was Hiruta, a cameraman for Nihon TV Station. He was wearing a brown jacket, a white knitted hat, and black trousers, and was standing at the camera position next to the stadium.

"Is that the guy?"

Juzo Megure stared intently at Hiruta on the screen, rubbing his chin. "But this guy is an employee of the TV station, how could he threaten the TV station?"

"No one can understand the world of criminals."

Fujino was also watching Hiruta on the screen.

"That's true..."

Juzo Megure nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way Fujino, how exactly did you figure out that this guy was another thug?"

"Fujino- kun just watched the entire videotape of this match at 16x speed."

Sato Miwako was standing nearby, explained, "He noticed that every time this person filmed the criminal, he would unusually and immediately move the camera away, so he realized that this person was the criminal's accomplice."

"So that's how it is, is it to prevent accomplices from revealing their subconscious behavior?"

Juzo Megure rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

However, he quickly recovered and asked Sato Miwako, "Wait, what did you just say?"

Sato Miwako: "This thug always turns his head inexplicably..."

Juzo Megure: "The previous sentence."

"Fujino- kun watched the videotape of the match at 16x speed, that's really impressive."

"How many?!"

"Sixteen times."

Seeing Juzo Megure's horrified expression, Sato Miwako wasn't surprised. She simply remarked, "I couldn't see those images clearly at all, but Fujino- kun was able to see them clearly and even found the cameraman."

"Sixteen times?!"

Juzo Megure looked at Fujino in surprise, "Fujino- kun, how did you do that?"

Fujino smiled and said, "It's probably a combination of hard work and a little bit of talent."

Well, all of this was due to his tireless efforts, plus a little bit of spoiler.

"Are you working hard?"

Upon Juzo Megure nodded blankly.

As for talent...

I think so.

After all, his detective buddies are all pretty weirdos.

He thought Kudo was already weird enough...

As for Fujino- kun... it seems reasonable for him to be even more perverted.

Having figured out some things, Juzo Megure became more insightful, as if he had discovered some unknown new continent in his little brother.

Conan, who ultimately didn't have his glasses, was somewhat speechless.

All that effort was just due to talent, right?

Even at 16x speed, how come he can't see anything clearly?

Conan pursed his lips, feeling a little sour.

"Beep beep beep!"

Just then, a telephone rang.

Everyone turned around and saw the director holding a phone, looking flustered. "The criminals are calling!"

"Don't panic!"

Juzo Megure steadied the director, "You answer the phone first, so we can confirm that Hiruta is the other criminal."

"I see."

The director swallowed hard, picked up the phone with trembling hands, and answered, "Moshi moshi, this is Director Jinzi."

But there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

All eyes were focused on Hiruta on the screen.

At the same time, on the screen, everyone saw that the man named Hiruta took out a handkerchief from his pocket and was opening his mouth to say something.

Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "You didn't call the police, did you?!"

Director Jinzi quickly explained, "I didn't have my phone with me, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, the voice on the other end of the phone interrupted him, "I don't want to hear your explanation. Listen carefully, during the first half break, you must put the money I demanded at Exit 18, otherwise, I will randomly shoot. Don't get it wrong!"

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Conan looked away and rubbed his chin. "So it was a handkerchief?"

"Looks like this is the guy."

Juzo Megure looked away from the screen, took out his walkie-talkie, and was about to contact all the plainclothes police officers. "Now that we know the location of the criminals, we can start the operation!"

"But Inspector Megure!"

At this moment, Conan, who had snapped out of his thoughts, suddenly interrupted, "The culprit is currently located right next to the court. That area is very open, and if many people approach, he will definitely notice them. Then, the athletes on the court will be in danger."

"That's right."

Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, rarely spoke up, "Moreover, judging from what the thug just said, he should already know that the police have arrived at the scene."

"That's true."

Juzo Megure nodded upon hearing this, and pondered, "If we deploy a large number of people, he will probably discover us immediately... Deploying snipers to target the cameraman will definitely cause a disturbance, which will make things difficult."

"How about I go instead?"

Fujino glanced around at everyone and said, "I'm relatively young, so they probably won't think I'm a police officer."

"No."

Without hesitation, Juzo Megure refused, saying, "The suspect has a gun. Fujino, while your skills are undeniable, this kind of criminal..."

"The criminals are about to make their move. If the police catch one of them during the transaction, the other criminal will definitely do something unpredictable."

Fujino interrupted firmly, "Besides, I'm wearing a trench coat. If it's a safety issue, I can wear a bulletproof vest. The other party shouldn't easily notice that. Right now, there's no other way."

Well, actually he didn't really want to deal with the criminals.

His main objective was the bulletproof vest.

He already has six handguns, but he doesn't have a single bulletproof vest.

Actually, bulletproof vests weren't really necessary for him.

All you need is Bulletproof Suit.

However, it's inevitable that you might encounter a shooting incident in the future.

If someone were to shoot you in the chest and then be perfectly fine and still alive and kicking, that would be a bit too absurd.

Having a bulletproof vest makes it easier to fool people.

"But..."

Juzo Megure hesitated.

Although he was very familiar with Fujino's fighting ability.

Dealing with two or three big men doesn't seem to be a problem.

But this task is far too difficult for an ordinary 'high school student'.

There's a real risk of losing your life.

He didn't want to lose a resourceful and insightful younger brother.

"I think Fujino's method is feasible."

At this moment, Sato Miwako suddenly spoke up, then turned to Juzo Megure and said, "As for safety, Inspector Megure, don't worry. I will act with him and do everything I can to protect his safety."

Upon Juzo Megure fell into deep thought.

He was somewhat aware of Sato Miwako's abilities.

She's very strong... Every criminal she subdues has to spend some time in the hospital.

As for Fujino, although he made a decent number of moves.

But the record still stands.

If the two of them went out together, it's estimated that more than a dozen burly men wouldn't be able to get close to them.

They all belong to the kind of existence that dances on the edge of a knife...

If it were the two of them, it might actually work!

After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and earnestly instructed Sato Miwako, "I'm entrusting Fujino to you, Sato!"
