Chapter 554 The Attacking Side Blocking the Door

"Officer Zenigata, go to the vault now, immediately, or we might run out of time."

Ai Haibara, with her hands behind her back, looked up at Koichi Zenigata and said calmly.

Zenigata Yukiichi unconsciously straightened his posture a little.

Even though there was only a little girl standing in front of him, he could still feel the aura of a veteran detective emanating from her.

"Okay, no problem, yes sir."

Ai Haibara rolled her eyes at Koichi Zenigata, then turned and walked towards the door.

"It's Ma'am."

"……Feel sorry."

Shinichi Kudo looked at the scene before him with some confusion, feeling as if he didn't belong there.

It's not just Shinichi Kudo; it seems like Officer Takagi and Officer Sato are the same. They don't seem to have the same style as these people.

Shinichi Kudo hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Yusaku Kudo's ear and asked.

"Dad, I feel like something's off. And what was wrong with you just now? Why did you raise your hand and fire the gun and then say that you'd taken out the sniper over there?"

"And have you been busy rushing to finish your manuscript lately? You don't answer my calls."

Looking at the intense curiosity in his son's eyes, Kudo Yusaku pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I will tell you these things, but not now."

"Also, Shinichi, you stay here. This is not something you can get involved in."

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about."

Yusaku Kudo patted Shinichi Kudo heavily on the shoulder and said seriously.

“I know your personality, but at least in this situation, as you can see, it’s very dangerous, and as your father, I can’t let you take this kind of risk.”

"……All right."

Kudo Yusaku glanced at the raised white sheet covering the ground again and said something.

"And don't stay in the lobby, go upstairs later."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

This was the first time Shinichi Kudo had ever seen his father with such an expression. Thinking of Ran Mouri, he stopped insisting, though his expression inevitably showed some resentment.

Upon hearing Yusaku Kudo's words, Ai Haibara turned around and glanced at her father speechlessly.

Shouldn't a father let his son take such a risk?

So you're saying this to imply that it's perfectly safe for the organization to have the original Shinichi Kudo, who turned into a child, deal with them?

"It's okay, Shinichi, Mom will protect you."

A gentle voice came from behind Shinichi Kudo, and Shinichi Kudo's expression froze.

He recognized that voice all too well.

That's my mother's voice!

"Mom, you're here too..."

Shinichi Kudo turned around, but before he could say anything, he was startled by a large face that almost touched his nose, causing him to choke.

Before me was a rather square face, wearing sunglasses, with rugged features.

"Vodka?!"

Shinichi Kudo stumbled backward, tripping and falling to the ground.

"Hehe, it really scared me! What a funny reaction, hahaha!"

The vodka in front of him was clearly very pleased with Shinichi Kudo's reaction after he had pranked him.

She held her belly with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, making a delicate gesture with her fingers, laughing so hard she was practically shaking with mirth.

"..."

The tense atmosphere was somewhat dispelled by the sight of the burly man with a delicate voice.

Of course, the people gathered around were also scattered.

It's a bit disgusting.

However, once the burly man stopped laughing and removed his disguise to reveal a pretty face, the crowd immediately surrounded him again.

It's a bit too much.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Shinichi Kudo awkwardly pushed himself up from the ground.

"Hehe, Shinichi, listen to your dad and stay here. Mom will protect you! It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so let's have a chat."

……

As soon as everyone left the Metropolitan Police Department, no one was sniped again.

However, looking at the chaotic scene and the ground stained red, even veteran officers Koichi Zenigata and Juzo Megure couldn't help but turn their heads away.

But something seems off.

Why is there only blood but no corpse?

Perhaps because he had thought of this, Zenigata Koichi suddenly turned around and looked towards the gate.

Sure enough, the bodies of his comrades who had been sniped in front of the door had all disappeared.

"Officer Zenigata, look over there, isn't that... uh, the detective who was the first one to be sniped?"

Inspector Megure stared in a certain direction, dumbfounded, and patted Koichi Zenigata on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, the latter turned to look at the place that Inspector Megure was pointing to.

At the corner of the alley, a head with dyed yellow hair kept peeking out.

"...It seems so."

Koichi Zenigata thought he had seen everything, but he had never seen anything like this before.

As his eyes darted around, he spotted the dead men again from behind various cover.

Both Koichi Zenigata and the Metropolitan Police Department officers who also noticed this scene had the same thought in their minds.

Am I really not dreaming right now?

"Has the sniper been taken care of?"

They noticed that the people who came out of the Metropolitan Police Department were not shot, and those who had been hiding also cautiously came out.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were not sniped again.

However, the attacking side's preparations naturally wouldn't just involve sending snipers.

"It's been confirmed that these people will be resurrected in front of the Metropolitan Police Department building after they die."

"Also, it seems that if we die, we will be resurrected in a nearby location."

"OK, continue intercepting."

The two men on either side of the Metropolitan Police Department, who had been observing the direction of the Metropolitan Police Department, exchanged a glance.

With a flash, the two men were transformed from their original black attire into a full-body black armor set.

Then, the two men, each carrying a Gatling gun, walked over with heavy steps.

"Let's go now. I'll drive first, and everyone just follow behind me."

For the moment, Shinichi Zenigata cleared his mind and walked down the steps to the car in a daze.

However, just as his hand touched the doorknob, a sound like a machine turning rang out, and a barrage of bullets shot out towards both sides of the street.

"Inspector Zenigata, watch out!"

Upon seeing the two armed men approaching, Kudo Yusaku shouted loudly.

However, the speed of sound is still no match for the speed of the bullet, and Shinichi Zenigata had no time to dodge!

If it were anyone else, the person standing in front of the car would probably be riddled with bullets on the spot.

However, Koichi Zenigata is clearly not an ordinary person; he possesses some comedic traits.

呲味——

The bullet first hit the car tire. Noticing the abnormality, Zenigata Koichi looked to the left and right with a drastic change in expression, and then suddenly retreated.

"There are machine gunners outside! Everyone, go back inside and take cover!"

Shinichi Zenigata shouted a reminder to everyone.

Ai Haibara, seeing this, originally intended to go up and rescue them.

However, he saw that Zenigata Koichi was twisting his body comically like a snake and retreating continuously.

Despite the dense barrage of bullets, not a single one hit him, leaving Ai Haibara dumbfounded.

Unsteady and unsteady, Yukichi Zenigata retreated up the steps and successfully made his way back into the Metropolitan Police Department.
