Conan: Top succubus, crazy CP

Chapter 996 I will protect everyone

This trust came a little unexpectedly.

Even Yumi Miyamoto herself couldn't explain why she felt such a sense of security towards a boy she had known for less than an hour, as if "he would hold up the sky if it fell."

It's... just a woman's intuition.

Or perhaps it was Hanyu Kusunoki's calmness and mystery that transcended her age that gave her this confidence.

After hearing Yumi Miyamoto's heartfelt request, Hanyu Kusunoki put away the joking look on his face and became serious.

He looked at the genuine worry and pleading in Yumi Miyamoto's eyes and nodded seriously: "Sister Yumi, don't worry, Officer Sato is a respectable and good police officer, and also a very good... friend. I will do my best to ensure her safety."

Such a good officer Sato deserves to be well protected.

Hearing Hanyu Kusunoki's solemn promise, Miyamoto Yumi showed a relieved and happy smile on her face, as if a burden had been lifted from her mind.

She took a step back, stood in front of the blue and white police car, straightened her back, playfully put her legs together, raised her hand, and gave Hanyu Kusunoki a standard, clean and neat police salute.

"Then...I'll leave it to you, Hanyu-san!"

Unlike Sato Miwako, who prefers casual clothes and pursues convenience of movement, Miyamoto Yumi is now wearing a standard summer female police uniform - neat epaulettes, eye-catching traffic armbands on the cuffs, a fitted dark blue hip-hugging skirt, a black leather belt outlining her waistline, and a pair of shiny black low-heeled leather boots on her feet.

Her straight, black hair was neatly tied under her police cap and draped over her shoulders.

The night wind blew up a few strands of her disobedient hair.

The moment she saluted, she looked dashing, capable and heroic. Against the backdrop of the patrol car's red and blue alternating flashing lights, she had a unique charm that was a mixture of feminine gentleness and the toughness of the police profession.

The handsomeness value is maxed out!

This is one of the three most beautiful policewomen in the Metropolitan Police Department. Putting aside her eccentric and funny side in private, this is the true professional style of Yumi Miyamoto, the ace of the Traffic Division.

Hanyu Kusunoki looked at Yumi Miyamoto, whose style suddenly changed from a funny girl to a cool policewoman, and a hint of undisguised admiration flashed in her eyes.

He nodded slightly, as a response to this solemn entrustment.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Miyamoto Yumi put down her hand, her smile bright and dazzling again. She waved her hand and said cheerfully, "Then I'll go on patrol first. When this is over, let Miwako treat you to a big meal! It has to be a big meal! Goodbye, Hanyu~"

After saying that, she opened the car door and picked up Miike Naoko, who was still waiting obediently with a look of "Who am I and where am I?". The blue patrol car emitted a slight engine sound and merged into the early morning traffic.

Hanyu Kusunoki watched the patrol car leave, smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the red Mazda that was waiting for him.

......

inside the car.

Sato Miwako looked at him curiously as he got in. As she started the car, she asked, "What did Yumi say to you in such a mysterious way just now? Did she say anything strange again?"

She knew her best friend's character too well.

Hanyu Kusunoki opened the car door and got in the back seat, fastening her seatbelt. Her usual lazy smile returned to her face. "Nothing. Sister Yumi just told me to protect Officer Sato. She also asked me to treat me to a nice meal after the mission was accomplished."

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she snorted in dissatisfaction: "This Yumi... is really nosy. It should be me who protects you."

She looked through the rearview mirror at Hanyu Nan and Xiao Ai with a determined look: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch that bastard and protect everyone's safety!"

This is her duty and belief as a police officer.

......

However, reality is often harsh.

The police's all-out search lasted throughout the second half of the night, and they turned almost every possible area upside down, but still found nothing. The other party seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no valuable clues.

The early morning sun shone through the mist, dispelling the chill of the night, but it could not dispel the haze that shrouded the police.

There are only five hours left before the explosion as predicted by the criminals.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.

In a breakfast shop that opened early, Takagi Wataru, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, was eating breakfast mechanically with the three little ones and Conan, who were equally exhausted.

Their group also spent almost the entire night without sleeping, running around to various possible locations, but the result was equally in vain.

"Haa——" Genta yawned loudly, his head nodding and almost falling into the miso soup in front of him.

"I'm so sleepy..." Ayumi rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Mitsuhiko tried to stay awake, but his eyelids were twitching.

Even Conan couldn't help but yawn with his hand covering his mouth. His eyes were bloodshot behind the lenses. Although he was energetic, his body was not the same as before. Staying up all night still made him feel very tired.

However, there are exceptions.

At another table, Xiao Ai was sitting quietly with a cup of warm milk in front of her, drinking it in small sips.

In her other hand, she still held the copy of the notice, her icy blue eyes scanning every word on it intently, without a trace of fatigue on her face, as if staying up all night last night was just a common occurrence for her.

Scientists, especially those trained in the high-pressure environment of the former organization, are, to some extent, energy monsters.

The need for sleep is much lower than that of ordinary people.

Besides, if she really can't bear it anymore, she still has a trick up her sleeve.

The loli who was drinking milk reached out her hand silently without changing her expression, and very naturally took out the horse talisman from the pocket of Hanyu Kusunoki's coat next to her, and slowly cast a "purification + rejuvenation spell" on herself.

Well, it’s getting exciting. Full health is revived in one second, the blue bar and health bar are instantly restored, and all DEBUFFs are cleared.

If science is not enough, there is nothing wrong with using metaphysics to make up for it.

Takagi Shigeru looked enviously at Hanyu Kusunoki who was whispering something with Sato Miwako, then looked at the group of little kids stumbling around on his side, and felt a little jealous.

He also wanted to fight alongside Officer Sato, analyze clues together, and show off his intelligence as a detective...

However, even the first meaning of the code was cracked by Xiao Ai. His mind was like a mess and he couldn't make any sense of it. Instead, he had to ask these children to help him keep an eye out for suspicious situations.

Alas...what a gap.

The gap between people is sometimes greater than that between people and dogs.

Another person who was completely devastated by Ai's inhuman IQ, quietly squatted in the corner and tried to piece together his shattered self-esteem.
