Conan: Another Famous Detective

Even though there were already speculations, Kuroda Hei couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard Director Hakuba admit it himself.

The information revealed by Director Baima's seemingly plain reply is not simple.

At that time, Curacao's fall into the water was not expected by any of the pursuers at the time. It was a complete accident.

Kuroda is absolutely sure of this.

So, Director Baima claimed that someone from the police found Curacao in advance. When and how did he find it?

First of all, it can be ruled out that Curacao was found by the police who were searching nearby. Police officers were also nearby at that time. Even if the police who searched found Curacao, it would be difficult to hide it from themselves.

Not to mention that the person who took Curacao away also prepared a non-police vehicle to take Curacao away. This was definitely not something that the police who were searching at the time could do.

So the question is, if it was not the police officers who were searching at the time, but other Metropolitan Police officers, how could they quickly find Curacao who fell into the water?

Their police and the police on scene should be the first to grasp the movements in Curacao... Wait!

An idea flashed in Kurodabei's mind!

He thought of the mysterious group of people who notified the police and cooperated with the police to besiege Curacao!

In his previous judgment, the other party was not an official and notified and assisted the police only because Curacao falling into the hands of the police was an acceptable outcome for them, and they were unable or unintentional to control Curacao.

But now it seems there is another explanation.

What if they are actually from the Metropolitan Police Department, but are not affiliated with the same department as the Search Section 1 that they were notified of? In other words, notifying the police is for them to control Curacao.

Because they are also members of the police, if Curacao falls into the hands of the police, it falls into their hands.

If they need it, they can easily ask for Kura with just a simple handover with the Search Section 1.

Because those people are likely to be directly subordinate to the power of the White Horse Director in front of him!

As for why they were able to find Curacao so quickly, there seems to be a reasonable explanation.

I'm afraid that the police dispatched at that time were not the only people Kuroda saw. Among the pursuers on the surface, there were also Director Hakuba's spies cooperating.

Therefore, they could immediately learn where Curacao fell into the water, and immediately arranged for personnel on standby to launch a search in the water to find traces of Curacao as quickly as possible.

But if the inference is correct, then it undoubtedly means that Director Bai Ma's actions were premeditated, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange manpower nearby in advance.

This possibility currently seems quite high!

This also explains why the "alarm people" appeared nearby, because they followed Curacao all the way to the hospital!

"Don't get me wrong." Director Hakuba seemed to have read Kuroda's thoughts and said calmly: "In fact, I did not arrange to find Curacao in advance. When I received the report from my subordinates, I was quite surprised."

"Huh?" Kuroda's expression moved slightly and he couldn't help but look at Director Hakuba.

Director Baima smiled slightly helplessly: "According to the report below, they happened to find Curaçao soaked in the water nearby and seemed to have lost consciousness."

"They originally thought it was an ordinary drowning person, so they immediately went to rescue him. After rescuing the person, they recognized Curacao's identity."

Kurodabei raised his eyebrows slightly: "In that case, why not just hand over Curacao to other colleagues who were still searching nearby at the time?"

Director Baima explained: "It was because they considered that the previous noise was loud enough, and it would be too conspicuous if they directly handed over Curacao to the nearby police officers who were searching."

"They also know the value of Curacao and do not want that organization to notice Curacao's whereabouts."

"Is that so?" Kuroda Bingwei looked thoughtful. In the end, he chose to believe what Director Hakuba said.

Since the director was willing to tell him the news that Curacao had fallen into their hands, he expressed his hope for cooperation in this matter.

Since even this most basic information has been revealed, there is no need to lie to myself in these details.

To put it bluntly, I am not worthy of the police chief doing this.

Moreover, if Director Baima has really arranged someone in advance, and in his inference, the "caller" and the red BMW that appeared later are also the director's people.

Then there was no need for them to call the police at that time. Instead, they should have informed their peripheral companions to secretly control Curacao.

Therefore, Kuroda believes that although Director Hakuba may have something to hide, he probably did not lie about the process of finding Curacao.

Of course, Kuroda would just listen to the reason why he did not notify nearby colleagues because he was afraid of being noticed by the black organization, and would not take it seriously.

Maybe there are real considerations in this regard, but more importantly, I am afraid that I still want to control Curacao in my own hands.

Director Baima is also very interested in that organization.

With all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, Kuroda asked after careful consideration: "So what does the director plan to do with Curacao?"

Director Baima chuckled: "After all, she is a suspect who sneaked into the police station, and she will naturally be handed over to the police in the end."

Hearing this, Kuroda didn't feel much joy in his heart. If the matter was really that simple, he wouldn't have called him here specially.

As expected, Director Baima changed the topic: "However, Curacao suffered a violent impact on the back of her head after falling into the water. According to the doctor's diagnosis, her memory may have been affected to a certain extent."

Kuroda raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Director Baima said helplessly: "After she woke up, she seemed to have really lost her memory. She is currently being arranged to be treated in a secret place. I'm afraid it's not convenient to move around at will now."

"So, I'm afraid I have to wait until Curaçao regains his memory before he can be accepted by the police."

Hearing this, Kuroda cursed the old fox in his heart.

Director Baima said so much, but he was actually expressing one meaning - people will pay you back, but we also get a share of the pie.

What makes Kuroda Bingwei even more depressed is that he seems to have no reason to refuse.

The Metropolitan Police Department also made great efforts to arrest Curacao at the beginning. In the end, they finally caught him, but due to a moment of negligence, the suspect escaped control and was finally caught by the Metropolitan Police Department.

If that's the case, then it's okay. Kuroda can report it to the police department and it's not difficult to get a document to apply for handover. But if this matter is endorsed by Director Hakuba, it will be different.

With the status of Director White Horse, even if Curacao is really detained forcefully, even if he comes to apply for documents, it may not be effective.

Now the other party has promised to hand over Curacao, but it only needs to temporarily control Curacao for a period of time. It has already given enough face. If it refuses again, it will seem a bit ignorant.

So, Kuroda nodded slightly: "Of course, my subordinates have no objection to the director's decision."
