Chapter 594 Ambush
Because the cause of death could not be seen, and the suicide note was confirmed to be written by Haga Kyosuke himself, the case could only be closed in this way. The details of the previous arson case also matched what was written in the suicide note, so Inspector Megure closed the case as suicide.
Even though Conan didn't want to believe it, all the details shown were just as he saw it, and he couldn't reveal the existence of the organization, so he could only watch Inspector Megure withdraw his team.
Of course, he actually wanted to call out to Officer Megure, but was stopped by Chu Ming.
"You can't expose his identity, and you can't produce any evidence. Stopping Officer Megure will only alert the enemy."
Chu Ming's calm voice was like a bucket of cold water to Conan at this moment, pouring from head to toe. He controlled his eyes that wanted to look at Zhu Xingda and asked Chu Ming in a low voice, his voice even a little hoarse: "So are we just going to watch him leave now?"
"What else?" Chu Ming asked him, "Do you still want to follow me?"
Conan paused. This time, both Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were here, so he couldn't bet whether there were other accomplices of the organization here.
He clenched his fists, somewhat unwillingly: "Why would the people from that organization come here? Why would they want to kill the people from the Shitara family? Could it be that the organization knew that I wanted to find out the email address of their boss? If that was the case, they should have come to kill me, not Yuga Kyosuke..."
Chu Ming quickly put the blame on the innocent people: "You were taken away by a member of the organization called Belmode before. You said that she let you go because she knew your mother. Is it possible that it was her this time? She might have been keeping an eye on you, on the one hand to protect you, and on the other hand to prevent the information of that organization from being leaked, so..."
Conan was suddenly startled. He realized that Chu Ming's guess made sense. Since Vermouth had let him off the hook because he had saved her before and she also knew that he had heard the boss's email, she was unwilling to hurt him, but she would not feel pressured to do anything to other people...
"It's all my fault... Maybe it's because of me that Mr. Yuga..." He felt a little guilty, and then looked at Chu Ming with some worry, "Brother Chu Ming, you should be careful during this period, just in case..."
"I'm fine. Are you still not confident in my skills?" Chu Ming patted Conan's head and diverted his gaze towards Akai Shuichi. "Let's go. Uncle is waiting anxiously."
Originally, Shitara Renki was going to arrange accommodation for Mouri Kogoro at night, but after this series of events, they felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so Mouri Kogoro took them away and said goodbye.
On the other side, Akai Shuichi saw that Mori Kogoro and the others had left, so he didn't want to stay any longer and said goodbye as well.
The direction he walked was exactly opposite to that of Chu Ming and the others. After all, he had seen Conan's occasional gaze on him, and he knew that if this guy saw him on the road, he might follow him for tracking down him, so it would be better for him to take a detour.
While driving, he used a special potion to wipe off the makeup on his face and began to think about what happened today.
At the fire scene, when he saw the cigarette butt, he knew it was not an accident, but he was unable to pinpoint who did it. The same was true for the subsequent poisoning case. Although it was clear that it was not suicide, the clues left behind were not enough to identify the murderer.
But in the end, in his suicide note, Kyosuke Haga took all the blame on himself, but Shuichi Akai still concluded that he had an accomplice.
However, he did not say it out loud. After all, he was following Conan to investigate the organization's email address. In this situation, the musician with absolute pitch is already dead, and he doesn't know whether Conan has found out from him. But it is very likely that he has not been able to find out. Since it has been confirmed that Chu Ming is not a suspect, after a few more days of investigation, he plans to arrange for people to sneak in and dismantle the wiretaps and cameras.
As he was thinking, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and he suddenly turned the steering wheel. The front of the car suddenly tilted, and a bullet shattered the window and shot into the back of the passenger seat.
Someone is ambushed!
Shuichi Akai's gaze suddenly shot towards the mountain in front of him. With his excellent eyesight, he could vaguely see a crowd of people over there. He took out his pistol, fired a few shots in that direction, then took the opportunity to step on the accelerator and steer the wheel to drive back.
Going out today was purely accidental, so he didn't drive his modified Chevrolet, but an ordinary coupe. If he drove forward, he didn't know what traps they had set up in front of him. It would be terrible if they buried a bomb. It would be better to turn back and take another road.
At this moment, he was trying his best to avoid the bullets so that he could move forward. If he was hit by the wheel and stopped and was surrounded by people, it would be difficult for him to leave today.
But just as he was about to rush out, a bullet flew over and hit his wheel accurately.
With a violent jolt, Shuichi Akai tried his best to hold the steering wheel to prevent the vehicle from overturning due to a sudden tire blowout. At the same time, he held the car door and rolled out the moment the door opened. He took the opportunity to hide behind a tree and hid in the blind spot of bullets. He slightly tilted his head and saw a tall figure in a windbreaker and waist-length silver hair high on the side.
It's gin.
Shuichi Akai frowned. He didn't leave anything in the car this time, only some weapons on him. Now even Gin came over, it seemed that someone had informed the organization of his whereabouts.
Just now, there was a familiar figure standing next to Gin, who seemed to be a servant of the Shitara family. His disguise could be seen, and he could also notify Gin. It seemed that this person had a high status. I just don't know when such a person appeared in the organization.
Originally, he suspected Chu Ming first, but he saw with his own eyes that Chu Ming left in Mouri Kogoro's car. The person who appeared next to Gin at this time could not possibly be him.
Akai Shuichi's heart sank. He clenched the gun in his hand, turned around and fired a few shots in the direction of Gin, then turned around and ran into the mountains.
There is no time to think too much now. Since the car has been destroyed, it is too difficult to escape from the organization's encirclement on foot. I can only rely on the terrain here to see if I can get away.
Originally, the place chosen by the organization was the best ambush location, but Akai Shuichi was too cautious and turned back before he was surrounded. In addition, he forced a section of the road open, and now there happened to be deep mountains and dense forests next to them, which caused great inconvenience to the siege.
Gin looked at the direction where Akai Shuichi fled but did not chase him. Instead, he took out a map and circled a few points on it: "Set up an ambush in these places. Since I chose this place, I can naturally consider the possibility of rats entering the hole. This mountain has only these few exits. I want this place to become Akai Shuichi's grave."
