Chapter 8 A Great Insult to the Japanese Police
Arriving at the art museum, Ning Tanikawa pulled Xiao Ai away while she was carefully examining the motorcycle. Although Xiao Ai wanted to see if it was her Harley, she was dragged into the art museum by Ning Tanikawa.

"Looking at the child's appearance, he must have been forced here by an adult."

Conan looked at Tanikawa Ning and Ai, and complained in his heart.

On the side, Xiaolan was talking to Director Ochiai.

"Yes, the previous boss had to sell the art museum to Mr. Manaka because his company went bankrupt." The owner said to Xiaolan.

Xiao Ai tugged at Tanigawa's sleeve.

"Didn't you say you bought the collection? Why did the owner say he sold it to Mr. Manaka?"

"Guess?" Tanigawa smiled meaningfully and turned to look at the works in the art museum.

Xiao Ai sniffed.

I won’t guess, I’m not interested in knowing at all!

Ai followed Tanigawa and wandered aimlessly in the art museum until the soles of her feet were sore, but Tanigawa still had no intention of leaving.

"When exactly are you going to transfer to?" Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask.

He kept pulling her hand and turning her around, and she couldn't even take a break.

"It's coming soon."

Tanigawa squatted down and touched Ai's head, but Ai didn't even think of hiding.

"what!"

Tanigawa and Xiao Ai looked up at the same time, looking towards a room inside the art gallery. Before Xiao Ai could react, Tanigawa picked her up and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

"what happened?"

Tanigawa put Ai down and asked Ran, who looked frightened.

"Boss Manaka was killed."

Ai looked at Conan who was staring at the corpse in front of her and thinking, "Is this the shrunk Kudo Shinichi? It's really weird that a child is not afraid of the corpse at all."

Then she took a step back and hugged Tanigawa's thighs, trembling with fear.

"Brother, I'm so scared."

"Okay, don't be afraid, your brother is here." Tanigawa held Ai and patted her back gently.

The evil scientist of the criminal organization was trembling with fear and hid in Tanigawa's arms for comfort.

After the police arrived, Ai hid in Tanigawa's arms and watched Conan jumping around to deceive the police, snatch evidence, and run around everywhere. She felt terrible.

"This stupid detective, is he so obviously afraid that others won't be suspicious?"

"Officer Megure, we found the armor in the closet in Mr. Kubota's room."

Two policemen brought the blood-stained armor. Tanigawa stared at the armor and touched his chin.

This armor seems to be of great collection value.

"There are two pieces of irrefutable evidence: this blood-stained armor and the note left by the victim before his death..."

While the police and Conan were investigating the murderer, Tanigawa quietly left the scene holding Ai.

"Xiao Ai, let's go back first."

"Um, is it okay?" Xiao Ai said in surprise.

"Of course, the police didn't stop us when we went out." Tanigawa said as a matter of course.

Xiao Ai looked at the police who didn't pay any attention to them, feeling a little confused.

Although he and Tanigawa had no suspicion, the police didn't take them seriously enough.

Tanigawa carried a large cloth bag and walked out of the art museum with Ai in his hand.

It was so easy to step out of the police cordon, Xiao Ai felt it was unreal. The Japanese police were too...

"By the way, what's in this cloth bag of yours?" Xiao Ai asked.

Tanigawa shook the cloth bag on his back, and there was a metallic collision sound coming from inside.

"A work of art." "A murder just happened in this art gallery, and you took the work of art away to reduce their burden. You are such a good person." Xiao Ai couldn't help but say.

There is a surveillance camera at the door. It's too brazen of you to carry such things out so blatantly.

"How can you say such sarcastic words at such a young age?" Tanigawa touched Ai's hair with dissatisfaction, causing her fluffy hair to flatten down.

Xiao Ai clenched her fists.

Haha! This blatant behavior, Tanigawa might get along well with those perverts in the organization!

"If you hide the things today, the police may arrest you and take you to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow."

"()Hi~ I was already a frequent visitor to the police station when I was in the United States, but I still feel that the Metropolitan Police Department in Japan feels more like home."

Seeing that Tanigawa was as unafraid of boiling water as a dead pig, Xiao Ai felt helpless.

She had originally thought that this guy was a good person. She was really deceived by his kind appearance.

Moreover, what Xiao Ai is most worried about is that her identity will be exposed.

Although Tanigawa said that he had helped her to complete the household registration, who knows if the police would find it unusual.

"Let's go, let's hide my collection first."

Tanigawa put the helmet on Ai's head and then carried her onto the motorcycle.

Xiao Ai feels that she has a connection with criminals in this life. She had been living in a criminal organization when she was a child. After she finally escaped, she was "hostage" by another criminal.

"Tanigawa, is this motorcycle from your collection?"

"What? The wind is too strong and I can't hear you." Tanigawa continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Ai angrily hit Tanigawa's back with her helmeted head.

This Harley motorcycle is definitely the one of mine that was collected by that little thief Tanigawa!
"You thief!"

"Then you are the thief's sister."

"I'm not your sister."

"Look, you're being arrogant again."

How can you tell that I am arrogant?
Xiao Ai felt like her chest was about to swell out of anger. Is the word "tsundere" the only one you know? !

"Hold me tight and I'll take you to experience speed and passion!"

Tanigawa was speeding through the streets of Tokyo on his motorcycle.

In the art gallery, Conan and his friends are still looking for the murderer.

"What a horrible bloodstain. A good work of art has become waste." Kogoro Mouri said regretfully as he stared at the armor.

"No, this is just a replica used for decoration. The replica was used to commit the crime, so the original was not damaged." Director Ochiai said.

"Really? Then where is the original?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"The original is of course..."

"Director, it's bad. The original painting can't be found!"

"What!?" Director Ochiai anxiously grabbed the man's shoulders.

Conan, who was originally thinking, was also disrupted.

A murder just happened here, and there are so many police officers on the scene, but some people still dare to take advantage of the situation to rob. They are so bold.

Inspector Megure was also extremely angry.

Although the Japanese police's performance seemed poor to outsiders, it was too arrogant for anyone to take away the things in front of them.

"We must catch that guy and let him know the consequences of defying us!"

"Hi!"

Then, a group of people gathered in front of the surveillance camera and watched Tanigawa blatantly leave the art museum carrying a cloth bag on his back. When he was at the door, he even had the leisure to talk and laugh with a little girl.
