For just a moment, the dazzling firelight illuminated the despair between the woman's brows——
The noisy water rose into the sky, and the roaring sound echoed in the ears.
A heavy downpour of water mixed with glass bricks fell from the sky, instantly splashing wet her clothes.
Broken tunnels, collapsed buildings;
Rapid water, bursting waves.
Wet hair was messy and stuck to the woman's cheeks. Miwako Sato stood there in a daze, her lips trembling and trembling for a long time. The headset in her hand fell weakly along with the heart in her chest.
The beautiful manjushuahua blooms on the depressed Huangquan Hiiraslope, and a red meteor faintly flashes across the clear night sky——
"Mom, look! A star has fallen!"
The night in Tokyo is bustling yet lonely.
The happy family activities caused many children on the balcony to look up and see the bright star marks after the shooting stars -
"If a star falls, will it hit someone? Mom."
The beautiful woman with a hairpin caressed the child's head, smiled and shook her head: "No, Yongta, because that's not a star."
"Not a star? What is that?"
"They are the tears of a warrior."
"Then mom, what is a warrior?"
"Somewhere in this world, there are people who have been fighting. A lonely soul who does not believe in God."
The immature children stood on tiptoes as if they didn't understand, and put their hands on the balcony railing.
Just when I was about to raise my head and continue to follow the trail of tears, I saw a brother on a skateboard dodging left and right in a very cool way on the road downstairs. His lightning-fast speed gradually slowed down as he moved around -
—
hateful!
Conan jumped off the skateboard, picked it up and ran towards the destination. He gritted his teeth and said: He used too much power to go from the office to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the skateboard did not store enough power during the day.
That explosion just now...
The explosion just now...
Uehara Criminal...
Although he was not familiar with this man named Uehara Katsumi, after realizing that this man had extremely keen insight and execution ability, he consciously reduced his performance in front of him to avoid being exposed to his true identity.
But honestly speaking, this policeman was indeed the policeman he had come into contact with over the years, and he was the most impressive policeman in the entire Metropolitan Police Department.
The investment in the Suzuki family's undersea sightseeing tunnel project was so huge. Even if Katsumi Uehara was not killed at a close range, the burst of water and glass fragments would definitely kill him——
Even if he still has a trace of consciousness left at this time.
Because they are underwater, it is difficult for the police to find people.
Thinking of this, Conan, who raised his hand to adjust the function of his tracking glasses while running, sped up even faster.
"Where's the positioning?! Where's the positioning on the explosion-proof suit?! Where's the positioning on the buttons of Uehara's suit?!"
Eucalyptus discovery site.
With his temples on both sides of his head pulsing, Mumu Shisan's roar was full of pain, his eyes widened, and he growled and asked the technical team.
"Police Department, the impact of the explosion was very strong. The positioning signal... was interrupted three seconds after the explosion. We can only lock the area before the signal disappeared-"
"Lock it if you can! Activate No. 2 and 3 rescue plans! Go and save people!"
"The search and rescue department has been dispatched, and the police department, we are still waiting for news from them."
"..."
Memu Shisan, who couldn't help but pant after the roar, took several deep breaths in succession, and then suppressed the grief that surged into his heart.
Having worked in the industry for more than 20 years and working his way up from the front line, one of the most gratifying things for him now is to see his younger generation thrive under his command——
Miwako Sato was like this, and Rensaburo Shiratori was like this too.
Uehara Katsumi's performance these days has even surprised Megure Thirteen.
But now, this surprise has disappeared.
The ending shouldn't have been like this.
His eyes fell on the motionless figure sitting on the ground with his head lowered and his hands on his knees not far away - the wet hair had not been dried by the towel, and there were still some water droplets on the ends of the hair.
The silent shadow was stretched infinitely under the moonlight, and her expression at the moment could not be seen clearly in the haze.
Mumu Shisan hesitated for a long time, then sighed and walked over.
"Sato..."
"Police department, I want to be alone for a while, is that okay?"
"...Okay, I understand. I just want to say that there is still hope for Uehara to survive."
Mumu Shisan nodded, lifted the hem of his windbreaker and squatted next to his subordinates: "The technical team said that the positioning signal disappeared three seconds after the explosion, which means that he was not in the core area of the explosion."
"..."
Seeing that Miwako Sato was still sitting on the ground motionless, Megure Thirteen opened her mouth, and the thousands of words in her heart only turned into a gentle pat on her shoulder.
"Police Department."
Just when Megure Thirteen stood up and was about to leave, Sato Miwako, who lowered her head, spoke.
"I'm here, Sato."
"You said that I am really an ominous person..."
Tears streaked down the corners of the woman's eyes filled with sadness. The wind kicked up dust and debris from the ground and slapped her face, making her collar rustle.
"Don't be stupid, kid."
According to his age, Megure Shisan, who could definitely be Sato Miwako's father, knelt down again and squatted in front of her: "Uehara is a policeman, and your father, and Shiratori who is still lying in the ward, and three years ago
Jinpei-kun Matsuda is even like all the police officers who have been injured and died in the line of duty over the years.
"He was just doing what he was supposed to do as a police officer."
"But...but..." Miwako Sato raised her head with tears in her eyes, and the sobs in her throat made it impossible for her to even utter a complete sentence.
"Uehara is a soldier, and so are you. Everyone who puts on this police uniform and fights against evil is a soldier."
Mumu Shisan patted the junior in front of him on the back, his eyes full of sadness, but his tone remained firm: "Soldiers will bleed and die. This is inevitable.
"Today he is doing this, and the day after tomorrow it may be me, or even the day after tomorrow it may be you who will bear this responsibility.
"It's even possible that in some corner that we don't know about, there are unknown undercover agents who have been shot dead, and there are colleagues who have sacrificed their lives at the posts they held fast to."
Megure Thirteen took off the orange bowler hat that he had never taken off during working hours for so many years, revealing the scar on his head: "Did you see it Zuotou, if it hadn't been treated in time, I might have been in my twenties as early as
Has been dead for many years.
"So, don't give up until everything is settled. As long as the body is not found, there is still hope for his survival."
Megure Thirteen, who also understood that this possibility was extremely low, put on his hat again under the gaze of Miwako Sato, and his tone remained firm: "As long as there is still a possibility, even if the possibility is only one in ten million, as a police officer
We just can’t give up.”
"..."
"Have a good rest, I'll go check out the results from the search and rescue team."
Megure Shisan, who understood that Miwako Sato would eventually have to get out of this kind of thing, stood up silently. The next second, a child holding a skateboard suddenly fell down from the barbed wire fence on the side. The sudden movement immediately attracted the police.
attention.
"Memu Police Department! At ten o'clock in the southeast! The rescue ship with the B2 mark is 35° to the left and 100 meters ahead!"
"quick!
!I saw Uehara Criminal!
"
Human life is more important than the sky. Conan, who rushed there in a hurry, did not care whether he was exposed or not. He kept adjusting the tracking glasses that had a similar effect to a microscope and shouted loudly!
He had used this trick before to help Katsumi Uehara chase someone in the mall. He thought it was just a tracking skill, but now it has become a life-saving magic weapon that can determine Katsumi Uehara's location.
On the lens, Katsuki Uehara of Flesh Mold Lake has obviously exhausted his last bit of consciousness. The instinct to survive and the muscle memory of swimming underwater are still no match for the injuries and the fire of life parasitic on the tattered clothes.
Tottering.
"What did you say?!"
Megure Thirteen and Sato Miwako both stared at the anxious Conan.
"Hurry up, Memu Police Department! It's too late!"
!”
"B2! B2! Go forward 100 meters at a 35° angle to the left! Check the position of Katsumi Uehara!
quick!
!”
Instinctively, Mumu Shisan directly picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered sternly——
"B2! B2! This is B2! Found Uehara Criminal! Found Uehara Criminal!
"Repeat, we found Uehara Criminal! Rescue work is underway! The accompanying doctors are in place!"
Miwako Sato, whose eyes were originally dark, stood up from the ground as if she had been shot, and the light of hope emerged in her heart again.
Uehara?!
Three minutes later, a message came from the intercom that made everyone nervous——
"B2 is returning! Uehara's vital signs are rapidly declining! Emergency rescue is ineffective! He needs surgery!"
"Police cars clear the way! Clear all roads to the police hospital! Contact the best doctors immediately and prepare resources for rescue!"
On the side, the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department, Deputy Director of Police Toshio Morohoshi, who also heard the news, ordered in a solemn voice: "Hurry up!"
Before he finished speaking, Suzuki Shiro, who was comforting his eldest daughter who was in shock after being rescued, heard the words and immediately expressed his attitude: "Morohoshi, I'm afraid the police hospital is not enough to support Uehara Criminal's surgery. The matter between the hospital and the doctor still remains.
Leave it to me."
After saying this, without waiting for a reply from Morohoshi Toshio, Suzuki Shirou directly dialed the number——
“I need an operating room, a team of the best doctors in the world, and top doctors who can perform advanced surgeries now.
"I want to snatch people from the hands of death."
Looking at Uehara Katsumi who had been rescued from the flesh mold lake, Suzuki Shiro's tone became more urgent: "Quick!"
"Uehara!"
"How is he, Uehara?!"
"Uehara!"
People from the three departments swarmed up and surrounded the accompanying doctor. They talked to each other and asked noisy questions.
"Fortunately, Uehara Criminal probably grabbed the explosion-proof jacket and put it in front of him before the bomb exploded, which acted as a certain resistance and buffer;
"Furthermore, I don't know why there is a small square iron box in the breast pocket of Uehara's criminal suit. After the power of the fragments that passed through the explosion-proof suit was greatly reduced, many of them poked into this empty box, leaving his heart without a trace.
was detonated.
"However, despite this, his situation is still very pessimistic."
When the accompanying doctor took out the small square iron box that had been twisted to the point of being unseemly and filled with various small glass fragments, Sato Miwako recognized what it was at a glance——
It's an iron box that Katsumi Uehara often uses to pack chewing gum.
