Chapter 203: The Dark Pursuer (2)
When he returned home that night, Hua Lantian sent a message to Officer Megure asking if he could go the next day as well, as maybe he could be of some help.
Inspector Megure was very excited when he heard the news, and he immediately said that he would definitely let him attend tomorrow's meeting and become a member of the joint investigation team. Others might not know this, but Inspector Megure could pat his chest and guarantee that Hua Lantian was also a very powerful detective, no less than Brother Maori...
Hua Lantian thanked Inspector Megure, and then sent a message to his team group about a meeting tomorrow night, hoping that everyone would be prepared. As he expected, everyone was doing a great job and had not gone to bed yet. It seemed that they were working hard...!
As for why he had to go to the joint investigation meeting tomorrow, Hua Lantian planned to see if the Irish disguised Matsumoto Kiyoshi looked like him, and then think about whether to turn this guy into a so-called tainted witness.
After all, his fighting skills are still very good, and his brain power is not inferior either. He is short of people here. Someone who has personal feelings in the organization and can finally find his conscience and save Conan should be okay.
The next day arrived quickly. Hua Lantian said hello to Ayako and told her not to travel too far these days to avoid being targeted by a serial killer. Especially since he had something to do today and was coming home late, Ayako said she might just rest at home. Hua Lantian agreed, as he had secretly renovated the Hua residence to make it very safe.
"Good morning, uncle! I heard you were coming yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be the first person I met today...!"
Hua Lantian stood at the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, looking a little surprised at the unusually serious Mouri Kogoro walking towards him with his family. He didn't expect to run into them as soon as he arrived.
"Oh my, isn't this Lan Tian? Why are you here at the Metropolitan Police Department today? Are you also attending the joint investigation meeting...?"
Maori Kogoro greeted him, then looked at Hua Lantian strangely and said jokingly. Conan, who was beside his right leg, also stared at Hua Lantian with dead eyes.
Hua Lantian smiled back at Conan, then pretended to be puzzled and said:
"I don't know either. Inspector Megure called me, which is great. I also want to investigate some things about this incident...!"
After hearing Hua Lantian's answer, Maori Kogoro felt that there was no problem. He also recognized Hua Lantian's strength. Besides, he couldn't possibly ask Inspector Megure to bring Hua Lantian along.
After straightening his collar and moistening his throat, Maori Kogoro solemnly called the remaining three people to follow him into the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, it was where he used to work, so at least they should be more serious when entering...
Following the instructions, the group came to the meeting room upstairs where the joint investigation meeting was held. Before they entered, they heard people inside chattering about something. Maori Kogoro asked Xiaolan and Conan to sit outside and wait, and he led Hua Lantian in. Little did he know that Conan had played a trick on him and installed a bug.
Hua Lantian sometimes had to complain that no one had installed jammers or anything like that in the conference room to prevent eavesdropping. What if it was a particularly important meeting that couldn't be leaked? But there was nothing to think about it. After all, they had two undercover agents come in and listen to the meeting openly...
“Ah wow…! Mr. Mori is here…!!!”
