Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 35

Makoto Asai quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "My name is Makoto Asai, and I am the doctor on the island."

Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise, "To become a doctor at such a young age, Ms. Asai is truly remarkable."

"No, no, Inspector Megure, you're too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries and briefly registering Asai Makoto's information, Inspector Megure stood up.

"Thank you very much, Brother Xinggong. Perhaps we can find some clues by following this letter."

Hoshimiya Yu nodded, then casually asked, "Inspector, how's the investigation at the crime scene going?"

"Don't mention it."

Megure shook his round head, looking sullen.

“There was a fire last night, and the villagers were running around everywhere. The crime scene was completely destroyed, and there are no useful clues at all.”

"It turns out there was also a fire."

Xing Gongyu exclaimed in surprise, "I was so tired from playing yesterday that I didn't even notice."

"Brother Xinggong, you're quite the ladies' man! Youth is truly wonderful..."

Looking at Ran and the other girl who were so close to Hoshimiya Yu, Inspector Megure suddenly smiled knowingly and said with a hint of envy, "Does Brother Mori know this?"

"Uh……"

Hoshimiya Yu reacted instantly, and Ran and Asai Makoto's pretty faces also turned bright red.

I never expected that Inspector Megure would have such an unserious side.

That's true, there aren't many middle-aged men in Japan who aren't lecherous.

But doesn't Inspector Megure have a young and beautiful wife at home?

I vaguely remember Hoshimiya Yu; her name is Megure Midori.

Megure Midori was more than ten years younger than Megure Juzo, and was in the prime of his life.

I wonder if Inspector Megure's current physical condition is sufficient to satisfy the other party.

Judging from the somewhat envious look in his eyes just now, it probably won't work.

Author's note on the product launch~~

I received a notification from my editor this afternoon that the book would be available for purchase tomorrow, only to find that it already had 100,000 words.

If I think about it carefully, this is the third time I've written a review for a book that's been published.

There are so many things I want to say, but when they come to my lips, I suddenly feel there's no need to.

In the end, it all boils down to one word—"clumsy".

This book's performance is nowhere near as good as the previous one; it's a complete disaster. It doesn't even have 800 favorites yet.

It'll be available tomorrow, and I bet it'll drop in price again... Orz

Cough cough, but no matter what, I will finish writing it properly.

Writing a Detective Conan fanfic is a bit of an obsession of mine. Even if it means being a complete slacker, I'll still persevere and finish it. (Just like my first million-word Oregairu fanfic, which relied almost entirely on perfect attendance records~)

Of course, if possible, we would appreciate it if you could support us with an initial order.

There won't be any extra chapters, just two chapters. Consider it a small fee for my hard work on these 100,000 words, something to give me some peace of mind.

After it's listed, the pace can be a little faster, but the most exciting part is still something else... those who know, know.

So we'll be creating a group later, and the content in the group will be considered extra updates!

PS: Currently, only Kujou Hitomi is available; Asai Makoto should be coming soon.

PS2: I guarantee it won't be abandoned, and it won't be less than 150 million words. Bosses who love Detective Conan can rest assured! (If the results are good... well, as long as the results are decent, the word count will definitely be higher, because the initial estimate was over 200 million words~)

049 Great Merit

Thinking that the sexy mature woman Megure might be sexually unsatisfied, Hoshimiya Yu felt her pants move slightly.

Looking at Megure Juzo's somewhat lewd smile, Hoshimiya Yu secretly decided to discuss Megure Midori with him again when the opportunity arose.

We can't leave such a beautiful mature woman to stay alone in her boudoir!

It wasn't that he was that aroused; it's just that Xiao Xiaoyu had just lost her virginity and was at the peak of her desire. Plus, she had been teased for a long time last night but hadn't actually gotten to have any...

Some smaller heads are simply out of control of the larger head.

Taking a deep breath and pulling her thoughts back, Hoshimiya Yu said, "Inspector, I was going to tell you about some things I've investigated, but it seems you're not very interested."

The three of them didn't actually do anything last night, but it was only a matter of time, so Hoshiguma Yu simply stopped explaining.

The most urgent task is to first resolve the situation on Moonshadow Island, and then bring Asai Makoto back to Tokyo.

It's fine to just let it go like this; it seems that Inspector Megure and his team of detectives probably don't really intend to track down the culprit.

They don't have the ability to investigate.

But Hoshiguma Yu couldn't shake the feeling of unease about leaving the drug dealers on Moonshadow Island alone.

And then there's that disgusting woman, Reiko Kuroiwa.

Hoshimiya Yu already had a plan in mind, but she wasn't sure if Inspector Megure would cooperate.

If the other party is actually a serious police officer, it might backfire and you won't be happy.

Judging from the way Inspector Megure acted in front of him, this old hand wasn't as rigid as he seemed.

With that in mind, Hoshimiya Yu felt confident, and could also do Inspector Megure a favor.

A police inspector's favor might come in handy sometime.

Upon hearing Hoshimiya Yu's words, Inspector Megure immediately perked up.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave. He quickly invited Xing Gongyu to sit down and asked, "Brother Xing Gong, have you already discovered the murderer's trail?"

During the Shinkansen bombing incident, Inspector Megure witnessed Hoshimiya Hagumi's abilities.

They either don't speak at all, or once they do, they're almost always absolutely certain of success.

This case has had a very negative impact, as it involves drugs and a family annihilation case from twelve years ago. He had been having a headache about it for a long time.

Now that the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight, he can't help but be anxious.

The more anxious Inspector Megure became, the more composed Hoshimiya Yu remained.

He coughed twice and cleared his throat. "Inspector Megure, my throat is dry after talking so much."

Inspector Megure glared at the officer standing to the side.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you know to go pour tea for Brother Xinggong?"

"Hey!" The officer snapped to attention and immediately turned to go outside to make tea.

"Add two more drinks, there are three of us here."

Upon hearing Hoshimiya Yu's words, the junior officer instinctively looked at Inspector Megure.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Can't you understand what Brother Xinggong is saying?"

Megure Juzo reprimanded her with a stern face, but when he looked at Hoshimiya Hare, he put on a kind and smiling face.

"Brother Xinggong, you flatter me. My men are just ignorant."

"No, no, it's Inspector Megure's excellent teaching that's to blame."

"Haha, not at all, not at all."

No one dislikes having subordinates who blindly follow their orders. Inspector Megure was quite satisfied with the junior officer's reaction, but he couldn't admit it out loud.

After chatting for a while, once the young police officer had walked away, Xing Gongyu said, "Lan, go and lock the door from the inside."

Xiaolan nodded and went to lock the door.

Inspector Megure looked puzzled, but did not stop them.

"Brother Xinggong, what is this...?"

"Inspector Megure, what I'm about to say is not something that should be heard by others."

Hoshino Yu smiled faintly, "Especially the detectives under your command."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately became serious, indicating that what was about to happen was quite unusual.

Seeing that Inspector Megure was ready, Hoshimiya Yu didn't waste any time and simply said, "Inspector Megure, according to my investigation, drug trafficking still exists on Tsukikage Island."

"What? Shouldn't Aso Keiji have died..."

Drug trafficking is no small matter, and Japan is a country that prohibits drugs and guns.

Apart from the neighboring Eastern dragon, few countries in the world have stronger regulations on this matter than Japan.

"Memu Police Department, don't panic."

Xing Gongyu interrupted, "This should just be a small private transaction, not a major group case. If handled well, all three murder cases can be credited to you."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up; he suddenly felt that Hoshimiya Yu was even more attractive than the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

There was nothing he could do; ever since that case years ago, he had lost interest in women.

It was from that time that Inspector Megure transformed from a burly, muscular man into a power-hungry, obese police inspector.

"Brother Xinggong, please tell me in detail. I will reward you handsomely afterward."

Megure looked at Hoshimiya Yu with a serious expression, "As long as it's true, you can make any request you want, and I will definitely fulfill it as long as I can do it."

What Hoshimiya Yu wanted to hear was that Inspector Megure's words: dealing with shrewd people is so easy.

He nodded in satisfaction and said slowly, "The one still engaged in drug dealing is the current village chief's secretary and Kawashima Hideo, a strong candidate for the next village chief and one of the three deceased."

“I haven’t been able to get any concrete evidence, but I guarantee that if we search the village chief’s secretary’s house and Kawashima Hideo’s house, we will definitely find drugs that haven’t been sold yet.”

After letting Inspector Megure digest this for a while, Hoshimiya Yu continued, "Now the village chief Kuroiwa also knows about this, but it's uncertain whether he was involved. But it doesn't matter anyway, since he's had a dirty past."

"All three victims were involved in drug trafficking, including Hideo Kawashima, who was currently conducting a drug transaction. Therefore, drugs are clearly the key to this case."

Hoshino lowered her voice, "So the murderer must be a member of the drug traffickers. This series of murders happened because of a dispute over the spoils."

"what?!"

The unexpected turn of events left Inspector Megure completely bewildered.

He had absolutely no idea how Hoshiguma Yu had come to this conclusion.

Ran and Makoto Asai also looked at Hoshimiya Yu curiously, wondering what he was up to.

Hoshimiya Yu crossed her arms in front of her face, striking the same pose as Commander Ikari, and asked in return, "Does Inspector Megure think otherwise?"

"Yes... I think so..."

Megure Juzo instinctively echoed Hoshimiya Yu's words.

"Inspector Megure, be confident, you absolutely must."

Xing Gongyu smiled and said softly, "Otherwise, how would you earn merit? How would you catch the murderer? And crack an international drug trafficking case that has lasted for more than ten years?"

"I see!"

Megure slammed his fist into his palm, as if struck by a sudden awakening.

I've been dealing with Shinichi Kudo a lot lately, and I've gotten myself all tangled up in the situation.

Thinking they really wanted to find out the truth, they forgot all the methods they were best at.

After being enlightened by Hoshimiya Yu, Inspector Megure knew exactly what to do without needing to be taught anything else.

Having served as an inspector in the Criminal Investigation Division for so many years, this wasn't the first time he'd used this tactic.

Moreover, this time they had drug leads provided by Hoshino Yu, making the operation even simpler.

050 The beginning of ambition

Once evidence is found and the person is arrested, whether the prisoner confesses or not, and what crime they confess to, is entirely up to the criminal police.

As a police officer, especially a criminal investigator, one must have a sense of justice to some extent.
