Chapter Twelve: The Powerful PMC, Everything Legal and Compliant!
Therefore, at this moment.
Whether it was Conan, Ran, or Dr. Agasa, they all looked at Li Ze with a hint of shock.
After all.
They were just ordinary people, with a clear distinction between justice and evil.
Regarding, gunfights.
They couldn’t accept it.
On the other side.
Li Ze had the assault team put down their weapons and temporarily hand them over to the Metropolitan Police Department before he spoke to explain.
“Detective Mouri, don't be nervous.”
“Since I dared to call the police directly, I naturally have an explanation.”
“Let me give you a brief introduction first. These armed personnel are PMC, security members I hired specifically from the US with money.”
“And they have legal entry and gun possession permits. They also have unlimited right to self-defense when I am in danger.”
“And, this point.”
“Has also been approved by the Metropolitan Police Department.”
“Natasha, bring the documents!”
Li Ze, a smile on his lips.
At this time, Natasha had naturally prepared the documents in advance.
Hearing Li Ze’s words, she directly handed them to Detective Mouri.
Looking at the documents in his hands, Detective Mouri’s face gradually brightened.
Well, good!
Although there had been a gunfight, it wasn’t an unmanageable situation.
However.
After he finished reading the documents, especially when he saw the signature at the bottom, which was actually the superior officer of his direct superior, his superior.
From the Criminal Division, the Chief Inspector, Oda Kire Minaya!
This…
He, relaxed.
But he still said to Li Ze: “Little brother Li Ze, this is a serious matter. I need to make a phone call to confirm.”
“No problem, you can use my home’s phone.” Li Ze nodded: “Natasha, take Detective Mouri to make the call.”
Natasha, directly stood up.
Smiling, she led Detective Mouri towards the study on the second floor.
And, inside the living room.
Although the place was full of bullet holes and corpses, with scarlet blood flowing everywhere.
However.
Everyone’s expressions had improved.
Although they didn’t understand what PMC was, they could still sense something from Detective Mouri’s attitude.
“Li Ze-kun.” Dr. Agasa suddenly spoke: “What is PMC?”
Ran Mouri was also curious.
She knew it was an abbreviation, but what it actually stood for, she was genuinely curious.
Although she was still a bit afraid in her heart, from Detective Mouri’s attitude, she could tell that her classmate was still a good person.
That was enough!
As for, the dead.
Although the scene was indeed bloody, she had seen quite a few corpses while following Conan Edogawa every day.
Therefore, over time.
She didn’t really think it was anything.
Li Ze didn’t intend to hide it either.
However.
Just as he was about to explain, Conan, who was being held by Ran’s hand, pushed up his reflective glasses and said in a serious tone.
“PMC stands for Private Military Company!”
“It’s a special type of private company in the US that mainly provides logistics, intelligence, and even combat services to the military. They also sell some intelligence, eavesdropping, and counter-surveillance equipment, and provide some special security services to individuals.”
“The most famous PMC company is Blackwater in the US.”
Uh.
Following Conan’s words, Dr. Agasa, Ran Mouri, and everyone else present all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Noticing this, Conan instantly panicked.
His eyes rolled, and he quickly made an awkward explanation.
“I also learned about it from listening to Shinichi-nii chat, so I have a little bit of understanding.”
“Being able to shoot is cool.”
“Hahaha…”
Conan, cold sweat dripping.
Dr. Agasa, upon hearing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only, Ran.
She couldn’t help but cross her arms, and she couldn’t help but complain: “That Shinichi, what kind of things does he teach kids!”
“But Li Ze-kun, you actually hired a PMC. Are you in danger?”
Hearing this, Conan became serious as well.
Yes.
Under normal circumstances, even if it was for safety reasons, it would be enough to hire a few bodyguards.
Even the Suzuki family wasn’t this exaggerated.
And, regarding this.
Li Ze shook his head with a smile, and he couldn’t help but speak with a hint of helplessness.
“This is a long story!”
“But what this little brother said is not wrong.”
“The PMC company I hired, although its hard power is not as good as Blackwater, it is on the friendly cooperation list of the US Department of Defense.”
“As for, why I hired a PMC!”
“This has to do with Segawa Takatoshi.”
“Ran, do you remember yesterday, when you participated in the karate competition?”
“The case that I participated in with Shinichi, Segawa Takatoshi was arrested for murder and imprisoned, and his Segawa Foundation is extremely large.”
“Such a good opportunity, I wouldn’t miss it.”
“Under my arrangement, I obtained a lot of benefits.”
“This benefit is too great!”
“So great that certain hyenas couldn’t help but want to snatch it from my hands.”
“And these guys who died, are the black gloves of those forces, of course, their surface identities should be some gangsters, right.”
“However, fortunately.”
“I had sensed something was wrong beforehand and directly contacted the PMC company. As for legal entry permits, legal gun possession, self-defense rights, etc., these were naturally handled by the PMC company.”
“I’m not that capable!”
After speaking.
He, shrugged.
Just as he said before, he pushed everything onto the PMC. He was just a rootless nouveau riche.
Conan, was stunned for a moment.
He never imagined that the truth would be like this.
The Segawa Foundation!
Although Li Ze didn’t say who those hyenas were, Conan was not a real fool.
He might be naive, but he still understood this kind of thing.
Therefore.
He, remained silent!
He couldn’t help it.
Perhaps he could solve small cases by reasoning.
But, this matter.
It was beyond his scope of handling!
This made him feel a lump in his throat, and he stood there with a gloomy face.
Dr. Agasa, did not speak.
Involving such a big matter, he was not qualified to intervene.
As for, Ran.
She simply didn’t understand, even what Li Ze was saying, she was lost in a fog.
Therefore.
She just nodded blankly, actually understanding nothing.
And, at this moment.
Detective Mouri also walked down from the second floor, looked at Li Ze with deep eyes, and then spoke calmly.
“Alright!”
“I’ve already requested permission from Chief Inspector Oda Kire. These PMC members are all legal entrants, their gun permits are all compliant, and their actions tonight are also in accordance with self-defense.”
“These suspects who entered the private residence with weapons, take the living ones away and interrogate them thoroughly.”
“As for the corpses, clean them up and send them to the morgue.”
“As for little brother Li Ze, you must be careful from now on.”
“There’s not much I can do. Try to go out less often for the next period of time.”
“Disband!”
