When Heiji returned, Yukiko and Ran were already home, eagerly waiting for his rice balls.
"Chris hasn't come back yet?"
"Sister Chris went out in the morning and hasn't returned. She probably went to play with friends."
Kazuha took the things from Heiji's hands.
"Kazuha, let me eat a bit first." Sonoko chased after Kazuha.
"I'll go help too."
Ran followed into the kitchen.
"Yukiko, do you know where Kudo went?"
Dinner would take a while, so Heiji decided to chat with Yukiko. To divert Conan's attention, he might need Yukiko and Yusaku Kudo's help.
"Shinichi, I've broken off relations with him." Yukiko huffed coldly.
Heiji almost put the water cup on his nose, dumbfounded.
"I called him yesterday and asked why he let Ran come to New York alone. He replied: Mom, this is between me and Ran, you don't need to interfere. Shinichi actually doesn't want me anymore. Hmph, in a fit of anger, I broke off relations with him."
Yukiko said resentfully.
Heiji was speechless, drinking water cautiously, afraid Yukiko would suddenly say something else to make him spit water.
"Heiji, I heard you are a very amazing detective. Are you better than Shinichi?"
"Uh, probably."
The next moment, Yukiko's demeanor changed instantly.
"Heiji, although you saved me, I won't compromise just because you saved me. Shinichi's reasoning ability is definitely stronger than yours."
Heiji was speechless: Yukiko's attitude changes really fast.
"Big Sister Yukiko, although Kudo is amazing, Heiji is definitely stronger than him."
Sonoko couldn't help in the kitchen and came out just in time to hear Yukiko's words, instantly feeling unconvinced.
"Oh my, Sonoko came out to speak for Heiji. But Shinichi's reasoning ability really is stronger than Heiji's."
Yukiko looked confident.
"Not at all. In Japan, Heiji's fame is much greater than Kudo's. Besides, that reasoning maniac even left Ran behind, ran off who knows where. What right does he have to compare with my Heiji?"
Sonoko sat next to Heiji, hugging his arm tightly, looking proud.
"Damn it, I'm so angry at that guy Shinichi."
On the topic of Ran, Yukiko had no solution either, so she could only vent her anger on Shinichi Kudo.
"Heiji is the best."
Heiji smiled slightly and pulled Sonoko into his arms.
"It seems the eyes of the masses are sharp."
Shrugging slightly, as if mocking Yukiko.
"Heiji, don't be smug. I'll find a time to go back to Japan and teach that brat Shinichi a good lesson."
Yukiko was as proud as a swan.
Hearing this, a smile curled on Heiji's lips, flashing away: She took the bait. Next, just let Yukiko know Conan's identity. After this plan, I should be able to gain Conan's trust completely.
Kazuha and Ran brought out the cooked dinner.
Eight o'clock!
After the girls showered, bored, the four of them played mahjong.
"Kazuha, Sonoko, I'm going out for a walk."
"Heiji, I want juice."
Heiji nodded and walked out directly.
The area around the Mayor's Office Building was already brightly lit, with police officers armed with live ammunition everywhere, and helicopters flying in the sky.
Michael sat quietly in the new office, feeling very unhappy: "Mr. Sasaki Kuran, must I stay put?"
Sasaki Kuran glanced at Michael, his expression cold: "Mr. Mayor, the Night Baron plays with all the police in our country, even making the world-famous phantom thief 1412, who gives headaches to police worldwide, repeatedly play into his hands. His disguise skills and abilities are very strong. If he appears in a crowded place, Mr. Mayor's safety cannot be guaranteed."
"You mean he'll use a sniper?"
Sasaki Kuran shook his head: "The Night Baron has appeared so many times, yet not a single officer has been injured. This time, I'm afraid the Mayor provoked him."
"Hmph, provoked him?"
A look of disdain appeared in Michael's eyes. He was a native American and looked down on these Easterners from the bottom of his heart.
"But if he throws a bomb here, I can only wait to die?"
Sasaki Kuran glanced at Michael, a look of disdain revealed in his sharp hawk-like eyes: "If that's the case, it means the police Mr. Mayor raises are just a bunch of trash."
Five meters around the entire Mayor's Office Building, layers of human walls were set up for protection, guarded by various high-tech devices. Every nearby location had large metal detectors to prevent rocket launchers.
"You guys go out first, I need to handle some things."
Sasaki Kuran and Walker walked out.
"Bro, why help him?"
"Finding someone in New York is fastest through this mayor. If he helps with all his might, Sherry can't hide at all."
Sherry!
Clearly, these two people were none other than Gin and Vodka, who had come from Tokyo.
On a nearby building, Heiji observed the situation with night vision goggles.
"Surrounded by people on all sides, wearing unique anti-counterfeit devices on their hands. Five helicopters spiraling in front, strong beams illuminating several nearby avenues. Hundreds of officers patrolling in groups of three, thirty officers encircling the building. Tsk tsk, airtight."
A sharp light flashed in Heiji's eyes, constantly visualizing the nearby building conditions and routes in his mind.
"Eh, an expert has come."
He suddenly realized that even ordinary high-level killers couldn't penetrate this deployment.
"Such a rigorous deployment, yet leaving a breach?"
A cold sneer rose on Heiji's lips: This kind of trap isn't just a trap.
Whir whir~!!!
A helicopter flew overhead, its beam shining over.
"Zone B secure."
Heiji's figure was no longer on the roof.
"Vodka, guard the door later. Knock out anyone who enters."
Gin stood at the door, looking coldly at the street ahead.
Vodka nodded.
Gin turned and walked into the building.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am broadcasting live from the Mayor's Office Building. Today at 6:30 PM, the Night Baron, who has appeared before, appeared again. This time not to stop something, but to kill Mayor Michael. Clearly, yesterday's pursuit has angered this mysterious person."
At this time, a piece of paper was handed to the host.
"Latest news, it turns out this Night Baron is actually a grand thief, very famous in Japan. Most shockingly, he has even played the world-famous jewel thief Phantom Thief 1412 twice. Moreover, according to the Japanese police description, although the Night Baron steals things, he has never hurt anyone. So, everyone suspects whether the Night Baron before us is fake, because he wants to kill a federal official, New York Mayor Michael."
The four women playing mahjong at home watched this news while playing.
In a nearby building, a tall woman dressed in tight black clothes stood leisurely by the window, holding an M95 sniper rifle.
"Gin really knows how to find trouble. Instead of finding Sherry, he wants me to kill people."
