Chapter 487 The Busy Metropolitan Police Department
Chapter 487 The Busy Metropolitan Police Department
After climbing the stairs, everyone successfully passed through security and entered the Metropolitan Police Department lobby.
Qi Ming looked around curiously.
He couldn't see any changes in the internal structure either.
After all, in his mind, the Metropolitan Police Department was either a ruin or littered with corpses.
"Inspector Megure, I've met with Mr. Mori and the others. They've all arrived. What's the plan now?"
“You’ve come at the perfect time. Here, hand your phone to the officer at the reception desk, and I’ll talk to him.”
"no problem."
He handed his phone to the police officer at the reception desk, and after the officer gave him a long chat, he led everyone to the elevator.
"Comrade, do you know what happened?"
As they boarded the elevator, Qi Ming asked the police officer curiously.
Upon hearing the term "comrade," the police officer was momentarily bewildered, but shook his head after a moment.
"I'm sorry, sir, we're in different departments, and I don't know why the inspector wants to see you."
However, perhaps to relieve his boredom, the officer later revealed his guess.
"But I think the inspector is looking for you guys to help them investigate a recent violent incident... haha, although I don't know exactly which one it is."
"Life has become a bit turbulent. Robberies and shootings have increased a hundredfold overnight. It's getting worse every day."
Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement.
Although the TV screen at home is filled with horse racing and pictures of his mother, he still watches the news from time to time.
There have indeed been many crimes during this period.
"Didn't they say they were cracking down on organized crime before? How come things have changed now?"
Qi Ming asked curiously, completely forgetting that he was the culprit who caused all the gangs in the country to have no meat to eat.
"Well, that's hard to say, sorry."
The officer smiled and brushed the question off.
Ding-dong-
The elevator arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department. The steel plates on both sides had just been opened, and the corridor in front of us was already crowded with people.
"I'm coming. Be careful not to disturb the crime scene."
"Another bank robbed? These robbers are so arrogant!"
The police officers in the corridor almost all had their phones pressed to their ears, talking to their colleagues at the scene; it was as lively as a vegetable market.
"Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me! Let us get off first, everyone, please be patient!"
The officer shouted, and the other officers stopped what they were doing and made way for him.
Passing through the office area, it was equally bustling, with people typing on keyboards and making phone calls.
Kogoro Mouri used to be a policeman, but he had never seen such a busy scene before.
"Alright, the inspector is inside now, so I won't disturb him any longer."
The police officer led Qi Ming and the others to a conference room and smiled as he prepared to leave.
"Hey comrade, do you know which floor the Ministry of Public Security is on?"
Qi Ming had a sudden thought and stopped the police officer to ask.
"Excuse me, sir, why are you asking this question?"
"Ah, I have an old friend who works in the police force. I'd like to go up and see him later."
"I see... The Ministry of Public Security is on the 16th floor."
After a moment's hesitation, the police officer answered Qi Ming's question.
These are all people Inspector Megure invited, meaning they are partners of justice.
It's just answering a question, nothing serious.
Why did you ask him that question?
"You don't mean you want to take care of Bourbon here, do you?"
Vermouth frowned, took a few steps closer to Qi Ming, and whispered.
Vermouth felt that this man would actually do something like openly killing their people in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Upon hearing this, Qi Ming did not reply, but silently took a step back and moved a few meters away from Vermouth.
"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please stay away from me? I have a girlfriend."
"..."
Vermouth suddenly felt like slapping herself twice.
Although she wanted to smoke for someone else, she couldn't.
And what is the title for "elder sister"?
Although she has always disliked her current state.
But this is something only she can say; she won't accept it if others say she's old!
dong dong——
After knocking on the door and waiting for Inspector Megure's voice to come from inside, Qi Ming opened the door and led everyone inside.
"Brother Qi Ming, Brother Mao Li, you've arrived?"
With a smile, Inspector Megure stood up from his seat and addressed the crowd.
There was more than just Inspector Megure in the conference room.
Takagi Wataru, Shiratori Ninzaburo, Sato Miwako, and other elite police officers were also here.
Inspector Megure turned to look at Vermouth and nodded in greeting.
He also knew that this person was Qi Ming's friend. Although he didn't know why Qi Ming brought her here, he must have his reasons.
A moment later, Inspector Megure looked at Shinichi Kudo, and after a brief moment of distraction, he smiled and greeted him.
"Kuroba-kun, you're here too?"
"..."
Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, Shinichi Kudo had the same thought as Kaito Kuroba had before.
Damn it, he became a stand-in.
"Inspector Megure, it's me, Shinichi Kudo."
"……Yeah?"
"Inspector Megure, have you encountered a complicated case this time?"
Sensing that the two seemed to be planning to exchange pleasantries, Qi Ming immediately stepped forward to interrupt them.
Seeing this, Inspector Megure also realized that now was not the time for idle chatter.
His expression turned serious, and he looked at the group and said earnestly.
"We hope you will keep the details of this case confidential from others, because this incident is just too cruel."
"This is even worse than the case at the Beika City Hall last time!"
Shinichi Kudo and Kogoro Mouri nodded solemnly, and Qi Ming also became somewhat interested when he saw Inspector Megure's appearance.
Of course, there's only one point.
After all, he doesn't enjoy solving puzzles.
"System, let me see the replay."
Qi Ming immediately thought to himself.
The system responded the next second.
There is no recap of this event; please explore the specific gameplay yourself, Host.
"Ok?"
Qi Ming frowned; this was the first time he had ever heard the system respond in this way.
Can't understand.
"Translate into human language."
This means that the case the host is currently encountering is not in the script library, but is an event created by an NPC outside the script.
Now I understand.
"Please sit down, everyone. I'll show you a video."
Inspector Megure spoke to Qi Ming and the others, signaling the officers guarding the door to turn off the lights. Then, he looked at Wataru Takagi and pointed to the computer on the other's desk.
The latter nodded, picked up the remote control on the table, pressed the button, and tapped the keyboard.
The lights went out, the curtain fell, and the video began to play.
