As time went by, one after another reports made Uehara Katsumi's face gradually turn a bit ugly.
If Sato and his colleagues have found three of the 12 bombs so far, which can be explained as the prisoners only released these bombs, then the fact that Sayuri Matsumoto has not been found yet is enough to make him feel uneasy.
Conan, who had previously believed that Sayuri Matsumoto should be put in the hospital by the prisoners, also had a solemn expression, completely forgetting to continue pretending to be the expression a child should have on such an occasion.
if……
If Sayuri-sensei is really not in the hospital...
Conan's face became extremely solemn when he thought that his former teacher was probably dead.
Oh shit!
Katsuki Uehara cursed secretly and stood by the window of the conference room, closing his eyes and thinking about all the clues he had obtained in the past few days, motionless.
Judging from the provocative letters sent by the prisoner to the Metropolitan Police one after another, he was very confident in his plan, and could even be said to be arrogant. He was arrogant that even if he did this, the police would not be able to rescue the person.
In other words, it is very likely that the three discovered bombs were deliberately placed here by the prisoners and discovered?
Or does he actually have another purpose for kidnapping Sayuri Matsumoto?
Possibilities appeared in Uehara Katsuki's mind along with the fact that Sato and others did not discover Sayuri Matsumoto, constantly impacting his nerves——
Until, two gunshots were fired!
Bang bang!
The clear sound of firing made Katsuki Uehara, who was still deep in thought, suddenly open his eyes. He glanced at the walkie-talkie in his hand for the first time, and then immediately turned his eyes to the big screen in the conference room——
Rescue emergency center.
Facing the crowd who were excited because of the discovery of the bomb, after giving priority to the patients who were unable to take care of themselves, Miwako Sato decisively pulled out her revolver and fired two shots into the air!
The loud gunshots made the crowd who were anxious to escape first, and the crowd who attacked the police officers suddenly fell silent.
"Didn't I make it clear enough before?! The aisles and corridors outside are being evacuated in an orderly manner. Now you are attacking the police and running out in an disorderly manner. In the end, it will only cause serious stampedes and pushing accidents. In serious cases, it may even lead to
Others die!"
After firing, Miwako Sato shouted angrily, her sharp eyes accompanied by the revolver in her hand. Anger appeared on the faces of dozens of people who had just taken the lead in making a fuss about going out first.
"you--"
"Shut up!"
The extremely powerful Miwako Sato glanced at the leading man in the crowd and became even more powerful: "If you want to file a complaint against me, you can do so after you get out safely. The Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department is conducting a search of the Violent Crime Section 3 Department. Miwako Sato is being investigated by the police department.
"
The aura he had cultivated over the years was fully unleashed, and with two bullets he was able to subdue the restless crowd. His beautiful figure clearly fell into the eyes of several people in the conference room.
Mouri Kogoro nodded with great certainty, feeling in his heart that his future life was terrifying.
Megure Thirteen looked at the figure on the screen and paused while clicking on the walkie-talkie: "Uehara-kun."
"Yes, police department."
"Go to the emergency center and suppress the anger of those people. It's more than enough. Also, reprimand Sato and make a scene so that you can write a report later."
"Ok, I see."
Uehara Katsumi, who instantly understood what Megure Thirteen meant, nodded.
He is familiar with singing red and white faces.
"Sato! What are you doing?! Who asked you to shoot!"
When Katsuki Uehara, who had a serious look on his face and rushed to the emergency center, pretending to be his boss, he took the lead in front of the crowd who had just suppressed their uneasiness.
"I'm really sorry, everyone. Criminal Zuotou is too worried about your safety..."
A very standard apology process, which ended with Katsumi Hara pulling Miwako Sato, who quickly cooperated, to bow.
"Why are you here? Aren't you following the Megure Police Department to take charge of the overall situation?" Miwako Sato, who pulled the man aside after apologizing, put away the gun in front of him.
"You have already fired. In order to make your report better when you return, the Mu Mu Police Department came here to help you pave the way for your escape and build a step."
Katsuki Uehara spread his hands, indicating that this was an order from above.
"I can't help it. There are too many people. If we don't stop them in time, it will easily lead to adverse consequences." Miwako Sato, who was holding her forehead and shaking her head, sighed helplessly: "But this method can only work for a while. Now they are just because they were shot."
The sound frightened me and I temporarily quieted down.”
"I know, but the bomb can't be defused quickly." Glancing at the members of the explosive ordnance disposal squad wearing explosion-proof suits who were studying and discussing how to defuse bombs in the room door that was opened not far away, Katsuki Uehara pursed his lips and looked solemn.
"Don't worry, they will succeed." Miwa Sato put her hand on the man's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"That's not what I'm worried about. It's Sayuri Matsumoto who hasn't been found yet."
Katsuki Uehara shook his head: "The opponent is obviously confident in his own methods, so he actually arranges things according to what is written in the notice letter.
"That kind of people--"
Just as he was talking, the walkie-talkie that Uehara Katsumi had in his pocket rang again——
"The police department and the hospital database center found a bomb! But Miss Matsumoto was not found."
"The police department and case management department found the bomb, but Miss Matsumoto was also not found!"
"Police Department..."
Through the walkie-talkie, the number of bombs reported to Memu Thirteen one after another instantly reached 5. Counting the previous 3 bombs, the total number has soared to 8.
What they have in common is that they have not found the kidnapped Sayuri Matsumoto.
"Okay, pay attention to safety. Be careful to block the signals in the relevant frequency bands first to prevent prisoners from using remote control technology to jump over the wall and detonate in advance."
After the sizzling sound of the electric microphone flowed through, the voice of Megure Thirteen immediately came out from the intercom, followed closely by Mouri Kogoro's exclamation as if the reflex arc had been delayed for a century: "Conan that stinky
Where is the boy?! Didn’t you tell him to stop running around?! Where has he gone?!"
The harsh decibels directly caused Katsuki Uehara and Miwako Sato to turn down the volume of the walkie-talkies at the same time.
"It doesn't look like this Maori detective is suitable for raising children."
"I remember that his daughter Mao Lilan was indeed quite independent."
Recalling that a mere high school student in Maorilan took over the financial power of the family, Katsumi Uehara felt that it was lucky that this seedling did not grow crooked.
"It hurts!"
While they were chatting, a cry of pain suddenly came from not far away.
The two of them looked around and happened to see Conan squeezed out of the crowd and accidentally bumped into the little girl at the corner——
The bouquet of lilies in the girl's arms that was used to visit sick people and send them off was instantly scattered all over the floor.
"Whose kid is this! Why are you cutting in line?"
"I'm sorry, auntie, I didn't mean it, I was-"
Conan, who originally planned to come out to test the new possibility in his mind, was stunned when he saw the white lilies on the soles of the girl's feet.
——?!
lily?!
For just a moment, Katsuki Uehara felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and something suddenly clicked!
I see, I know where Sayuri Matsumoto is!
Conan, who came to his senses instantly, immediately gritted his teeth and ran back without even looking in the direction of the police:
If I'm not wrong, if this idea is right...
"It looks like there's still a second half to this game."
After coming back to his senses, Uehara Katsumi also turned around and ran away after saying a word, but the direction he ran was completely different from Conan——
The emergency center is on the second floor of the emergency building. Uehara Katsumi jumped directly onto the balcony on the second floor and jumped down!
"Uehara!"
"I'm fine."
After landing, Katsumi Uehara rolled over to relieve his force. With his back to Miwako Sato, who stuck her head out from the balcony, she waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, then turned around and ran outside under the gaze of everyone.
"I probably know where Sayuri Matsumoto is."
Conan, who jogged all the way back to the conference room, didn't have time to catch his breath. He raised his wrist and turned on the sight of the anesthesia gun on his watch. He leaned against the door frame and accurately shot Kogoro Mori in the neck!
