Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 452 Nightmare Entanglement

Toru Amuro.

Since his last meeting with Conan, Shuichi Akai, Heiji Hattori, and others, he had asked Kuroda Hyoue for leave and rested for quite some time before returning to his post.

Although he was supposed to be resting, it seems he never really got a proper rest.

He was plagued by nightmares, and every time he dreamed, he would see Qi Ming's figure.

Qi Ming had become his nightmare, Amuro Tooru was certain of that.

Only during his rest period, when he deliberately suppressed his thoughts about Qi Ming, did he feel a little better.

However, he never expected that the nightmare would reappear before him.

"I'm asking you a question, aren't you going to apologize for swearing?"

Seeing that Amuro Tooru was no longer speaking, Qi Ming waved his hand in front of his eyes.

In the past, he would have definitely thought Amuro Tooru was cheating.

Seeing that Amuro Tooru was still looking dazed, Qi Ming sighed.

"If you don't apologize, this will put me in a difficult position."

Qi Ming's words rang in Amuro Tooru's ears, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind instantly dissipated.

Hating Qi Ming is one thing, but he still has to put on a smiling face at this moment, because if he really makes things difficult for Qi Ming, then today might be dangerous.

Whether for themselves or for the innocent citizens here.

...Although there must be some innocent people among them, right?

No, but only the law can punish them.

"Feel sorry."

Amuro Tooru took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said to Qi Ming.

Seeing Amuro Tooru's amiable demeanor, Qi Ming also spoke in a very kind manner.

"You admit your mistakes and correct them. It seems that although you are a bit bad, you are still a pretty good police officer."

"..."

Amuro Tooru gritted his teeth, his anger rising as he heard Qi Ming's words.

Qi Ming took a sip of coffee and looked at the person next to Amuro Tooru who was also dressed in gray.

Who is this young man next to you?

When Qi Ming suddenly called out his name, the young man glanced at Amuro Tooru and, seeing that the latter did not speak, hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Hello sir, I am Keigo Yamada, a subordinate of the superior."

Although he didn't quite understand the relationship between his superior and the man in front of him.

But since the other party has revealed the identity of their superior, it seems they must be one of their own.

"A valuable asset indeed, not bad at all. With your superior as a companion, he's sure to have a bright future."

"Thank you."

Amuro Tooru clenched his fist again.

What is this? A direct provocation?

Don't you have any idea what happened to your former comrades?!

After taking a few deep breaths, Amuro Tooru downed the bourbon that the waiter had brought to the table.

"Let the alcohol temporarily numb my raging anger," Amuro Tooru asked Qi Ming.

"...What are you doing here?"

"I came here to have fun, of course. What are you doing here?"

Seeing Qi Ming's beaming smile, Amuro Tooru really wanted to kill someone.

"It's none of your business..."

Snapped--

A heavy sound suddenly came from beneath their feet.

Amuro Tooru looked down and saw a pistol lying on the ground.

Qi Ming glanced at the gun on the ground and said apologetically to Amuro Tooru.

"Hehe, you know what I do, so it's normal for me to carry a gun with me, right?"

"..."

Amuro Toru clenched his teeth.

A threat, a blatant threat, and the worst part is that I have absolutely no way to deal with this person.

"Task."

"A mission? What kind of mission?"

"..."

Amuro Tooru hesitated for only a moment before another muffled thud came from the ground.

Although he was reluctant to look down, he still caught a glimpse of the cuboid on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

"Sorry, but as I just said, you know what I do, so it's not unusual for me to carry a bomb with me, is it?"

Amuro Tooru felt that he should temporarily stop thinking about it.

He just answered Qi Ming's questions verbally.

"We received information from our informant that the owner of this casino is preparing to make a deal with an arms dealer we have been tracking for a long time."

"The rest of our team are waiting outside, and I'll send them out as soon as the time is right."

"You should have said that earlier."

Qi Ming patted Amuro Tooru on the shoulder and laughed, then asked the waiter to refill his glass of wine.

"Cough cough."

Suddenly, a coughing sound came from beside him. Qi Ming turned around and found a little girl staring at him with some dissatisfaction.

"Just say hello, it's time to go."

Ai Haibara's tone became noticeably colder as her temper flared up.

Normally, she definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative to end their conversation.

But at least today, she didn't really want anyone unrelated to her and Qi Ming around.

"Immediately, the last sentence, after that I'm done talking to him."

Qi Ming ruffled Ai Haibara's hair and spoke to Tooru Amuro.

"I just happened to run into you today, so I'd like to talk to you about something."

"I've recently come to terms with things. I'm not going to hold a grudge about what you did to me before. Let's call it even from today onwards. You live your life, and I'll live mine. What do you think?"

However, Qi Ming's rare sincere remark was interpreted as sarcasm by Amuro Tooru.

What do you mean by "they're targeting you"?

They are righteous police officers, and you are an evil thug. Isn't it right for us to deal with you?

Besides, has any of their operations against you ever succeeded?

In the end, they were the ones who suffered the most heavy losses!

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm being very sincere."

Qi Ming sighed.

"You should have seen Shinichi Kudo last time, right? He doesn't want to deal with me anymore, and I guess Heiji Hattori does too. They've all made peace with me. I was thinking, how about we all make some sushi and wipe the slate clean?"

Shinichi Kudo, Heiji Hattori?

Amuro Tooru's eyes widened upon hearing Qi Ming's words.

What happened to the Avengers? How could these two just back out and become traitors?

No, Qi Ming must have said that on purpose to provoke him.

"...You killed so many of my men and did so many things in the country I love. How could I possibly let you get away with this?"

Although he didn't want to provoke Qi Ming, the numbing effect of the alcohol had worn off, and Amuro Tooru could no longer suppress his anger, coldly saying...

Regardless of the difference in strength, he said those words simply out of his own conviction.

Even if he gets beaten to death in the next second, he still has to say that.

"..."

Seeing Amuro Tooru like this, Qi Ming looked directly into Amuro Tooru's eyes and then patted him on the shoulder.

“That’s great.”

"By the way, is the Metropolitan Police Department repaired yet? It's been so long that I haven't been paying attention."

Amuro Tooru's expression froze, and he replied through gritted teeth.

Are you still insulting me?

"How could I insult you by simply asking you a question?"

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at Amuro Tooru, and without waiting for a reply, he quickly searched his mind and got the answer.

"Oh, I've already found it. It's good that it's fixed."

"Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm leaving."

Despite saying this, Qi Ming was about to get up when he leaned close to Amuro Tooru's ear and whispered something.

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' I used to keep you around to trigger plot developments and have some fun, but that's no longer necessary."

"In other words, if we meet as enemies next time, you might be done for, like a rat's tail juice."

Qi Ming patted Amuro Tooru on the shoulder again, and led Ai Haibara to get up and walk out of the bar.
