Criminal: Then let me ask you, am I a human being?

Although he wasn't carrying a backpack with bulletproof plates, Jonah still fearlessly pulled out his P90 and rushed out the moment the elevator doors opened.

Jonah had already observed this when he entered the building. Although there were many cameras installed on the first floor, according to Secretary Tokiwa Mio's previous introduction, these cameras were not turned on because the building was not yet officially in operation.

In other words, Jonah could have rushed out and fired a burst at Gin's car, damaging it and rendering it immobile, then reloaded and fired another burst at him!

Based on Dave's description of the P90's penetrating power, Jonah didn't believe that an old car could withstand his barrage of fire.

With practiced ease, Jonah donned the balaclava and pulled Conan Edogawa behind him as he ran out the door. The moment the electric door opened, Jonah performed a tactical roll behind a pillar at the building entrance, concealing himself and scanning the street in front of the building with his gun.

Unfortunately, taking the elevator down from the 75th floor was too slow. Jonah could only see the black silhouette of the Porsche driving away in the distance. Looking down at the P90 in his hand, Jonah gave up on trying to fire at that distance.

It's a pity I didn't bring the VSS with me, but my backpack doesn't have enough space. It would be very inconvenient to bring all the weapons with me.

"Damn it, so close!"

Conan Edogawa, who had fallen behind, also saw Gin's departing Porsche. A deep sense of regret and disappointment flashed in his eyes, making Jonah, who was standing next to him, feel that he seemed to be in even more pain than the last time when he was about to confess to Ran Mouri but suddenly shrunk.

"But why did Gin and the others suddenly come to the Twin Towers?"

"I don't know. Aren't they assassins? Or is there someone they're here to kill, and they've come to scout ahead?"

"What you said is possible; it seems we need to find a way to investigate!"

Seeing Conan Edogawa turn around and run back to investigate the situation, Jonah stood there for a moment, thought for a moment, and then took out the new cell phone that Dave had given him.

"Hey Jonathan, what brings you to me at this hour?"

"Are you busy?" Jonah paused for a moment, then asked instinctively when he heard Dave's voice and someone else's painful groans on the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, my injury is almost healed. I just took on a small task to stretch my muscles, and that's it."

With a crisp snap, the wailing on the other end of the phone vanished instantly, leaving only Dave's hearty laughter.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"I've found traces of the organizers; it's Gin and Vodka."

"Where!"

"I didn't follow them over to the newly built twin towers in Nishitama City, but they looked like they were investigating something."

"Nishitama City? I understand, I'll be right there. Where should we meet?"

"I can't, I'm leaving soon."

"Huh? Why? Why don't you stay and we investigate together? I'll find you a place to rest tonight. Or do you have something important to do tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Hahaha, so you have to go to school? Hahahaha, Jonathan, I always thought you were the kind of kid who wouldn't joke around, hahahaha... Seriously?"

"Um."

"...Well, okay, it's always good to enjoy learning."

For a moment, Dave was at a loss for words. Although he knew Jonah was a child and had friends and family on the surface, otherwise he wouldn't have said he wanted to protect others.

But Dave really couldn't imagine Jonah, that brutal young soldier who would shoot a gun or fight with a knife at the drop of a hat, sitting in a classroom answering a question like 3×3=?

Wait a minute, my good brother would never do something so spineless. Could he be bullying a teacher at school?

Dave nodded in satisfaction as he pictured the teacher calling Jonah to the front of the class to answer a question, Jonah throwing a pencil at him and slamming it into the blackboard, and the teacher crouching down in fear.

If Dave knew that Jonah not only didn't bully classmates and teachers, but was also a model student at school, and that aside from his somewhat aloof appearance (his dull and unsmiling demeanor) which made his classmates and teachers somewhat intimidated, Jonah's hidden popularity at school was incredibly high, Dave would probably be shocked to his core.

"Alright then, I'll go investigate myself later, and I'll contact you as soon as I find anything."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After hanging up the phone, Jonah suddenly felt a little happy. Before he met Dave, it would have been very difficult to carry out an investigation like this during school days. It's true that having a reliable comrade makes all the difference.

Back in the banquet hall on the 75th floor, Jonah watched Conan Edogawa running around, pretending to be an innocent child asking all sorts of questions. Instead of interfering with Conan's investigation, Jonah went to Ai Haibara, who was still standing by the window.

"Haibara, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. What's wrong? Are you worried I might be upset?"

Blinking, Ai Haibara gave a faint smile and reached out to tidy up Jonah's hair, which had been messed up by wearing a wig.

"Although I am still very afraid of the organization, and I can't help but tremble when I hear news about them, and my mind becomes dull, I am not the same as before."

"I also want to change myself. Hiding won't solve anything. I have to be strong so that I can live up to you, to the professor, and to all the people who support and protect me, like Kudo."

"Yes, I know Haibara has always been a very strong and capable person!"

Looking intently at Ai Haibara, Jonah slowly nodded: "Don't worry, I'll protect you!"

"Yes, I believe you, Jonah."

......

"Damn it, I haven't found any valuable information here. If it weren't for you, Jonathan, giving me this information, I'd be grabbing a gun and going after someone right now."

"Feel sorry."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to blame you. The people in that organization are like rats, they're masters of hiding. It's always been very difficult to catch them red-handed. I'm just angry about this. By the way, how was your school day? What did you learn?"

"I didn't go to school today; I came to the Metropolitan Police Department because of something."

"...Jonathan, you're not going to bring a gun into the Metropolitan Police Department, are you?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel once again that my good brother is really to my liking."

Dave's remark was somewhat strange, but Jonah did feel that he was quite lucky. Because of Gin's appearance, Jonah had been on high alert these past few days. This time, he was suddenly called from school to the Metropolitan Police Department. It was only when he went through security that he realized he hadn't hidden the handgun in Professor Agasa's car.

Fortunately, when the Metropolitan Police Department officers saw the Glock 19 that had been found, they just glanced at it and smiled as they returned it to Jonah.

After all, most of the people in the Metropolitan Police Department knew Jonah and that he often carried an electric tranquilizer gun and a dagger.

If it were anyone else, bringing such a dangerous item into the Metropolitan Police Department would definitely be unacceptable, but since Jonah brought it, everyone thought there was no problem.

After all, in their eyes, Jonah had been a good kid who hadn't been involved in any assaults for almost half a month, so what was wrong with him carrying a few toys?

With so many criminals in Beika City, it's really dangerous not to have anything for self-defense!
