Shogi matches, especially professional matches like celebrity battles, have strict regulations on the duration of the match for both sides.
The limit for each round of a celebrity battle is 6 hours at the same time, that is, the total of both sides is 12 hours. Theoretically, they can only play one round a day, and if one side runs out of time, they will automatically lose.
This is also the meaning of "End of Time" marked in the battle book of "The First No-Go Player". He is warning Ikue that he will only let Miyamoto Yumi live until the end of the game.
But Yujie couldn't just let go. Being forced to stay at the competition site for six hours without action was no different from letting Yumi Miyamoto die. So Yujie planned to use another rule of the shogi game——
"Long exam."
In the broadcast room, Conan looked at the increasingly anxious situation on the screen and said categorically, "Brother Qingshui must lose this game, otherwise he will end the title match with 4:2. He is stalling for time! I'm afraid Brother Qingshui will still be there in the seventh game.
Long exams will be used to run out of game time.”
"Long test?" Masumi Sera, who grew up abroad, heard this for the first time, "What is this?"
The person who explained it to her was Okiya Subaru, who seemed to be omnipotent and omniscient: "Nagaka is a term for thinking for a long time in shogi competitions. Players can apply for a long examination from the organizer and continue the game before the game time runs out.
Yes. Chess players usually use this right after completing the layout, but with the development of chess, long exams are becoming less and less common."
Subaru Okiya pushed his glasses gently with one finger, and the lenses immediately flashed with a wise silver light: "I agree with the little detective's point of view. Teacher Shimizu is stalling for time, but we don't know the specific reason."
"Perhaps it's because of Officer Miyamoto." Kuroda Hei's sudden voice attracted many eyes to him, and everyone looked at the policeman who had remained silent since he arrived at the meeting.
Sera Marie narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Kuroda Hei with a look in her eyes and some inexplicable emotions.
Kuroda Hei didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his villainous appearance. He raised his cell phone and said, "I just received a police notification that Officer Yumi Miyamoto of the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Department is missing."
"Ah..." Shiliang Zhenzun was shocked, "No wonder Brother Yuxian wants to delay time. Did he receive a threatening text message from the prisoner!!"
Everyone was in the industry who often came into contact with crime and made quick judgments. The criminal strictly warned Yu Jiang not to call the police, but he didn't expect that the police already knew about it without Yu Jiang doing anything.
Okiya Subaru immediately said: "We can't waste the time Mr. Shimizu gained by delaying the game. We must take action before he chooses to take the long test in the last game."
"Of course!" Conan shouted.
Sera Masumi was the first to raise her hand: "I must participate in this matter, I don't want to leave us behind!"
She managed to tie herself and her mother onto the pirate ship before Kuroda Biewei said, "try to reduce the number of people involved so as not to alert the enemy."
As for why Mary can also participate——
Elena's child successfully blocked Conan's unfinished words by saying, "Conan can do it, why can't I?"
Forget it, the Young Detective Team's involvement in the case took more than a day or two anyway, and Elena herself was not an ordinary child, so Conan had to reluctantly acquiesce.
With Bourbon providing intelligence support from outside and secret investigation from the police inside, plus some small tricks he set up for Yumi Miyamoto, Yujie is not worried about her safety.
He changed his previous strategy of quickly ending the duel. He had to think carefully about every move, which made him suffer from headaches.
When the sixth game finally ended, Sheng Youli wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with lingering fear: "The decisive game won't take so long, right?"
In response, Yu Jiang nodded quietly and said nothing.
Sheng Youli: "..."
Are you polite please??
The seventh game really confirmed his ominous premonition. Not long after the start, Yu Jiang put his chess game away and calmly announced: "I am applying for the long-term examination."
Sheng Youli felt that his vision went dark and he almost lost his breath.
"you you you……"
The junior who could make him faint stood up neatly, bowed humbly to him, and then turned around gracefully without any hesitation.
"Hey! Haneda Rokukan! Where are you going?!" The staff hurried behind him, but they could only watch as Yujiang got into a black car and drove away.
After hearing this, Yasuharu Haneda closed her eyes with a calm expression: "There is a destiny in life, so there is no risk in what you do."
"Ah, what did you say?"
"Don't worry, Dan will come back before time runs out. If not..."
That means something worse and more urgent than winning the Seven Crowns must have happened.
The situation that was almost similar to that of seventeen years ago made Haneda Ichiyo a little worried, but looking at her husband's expression, she didn't say anything after all.
"Tokyo."
In the car, Yu Jiang calmly said to William, "Go to Meiji Shrine."
In addition to the provocative words on the piece of paper he tore up, it also read: "One of the seven shrines was attacked by thieves. The treasures in the palace were looted in just one day. Even the daughter of the god who was hidden in the well was stolen."
Taken away]
The seven shrines correspond to seven title battles, the daughter of the shrine corresponds to Miyamoto Yumi, the title station that can loot all the treasures in one day corresponds to the celebrity battle, and the only shrine that sounds similar to the celebrity is Meiji Shrine.
William Drake glanced at Yu Jiang through the rearview mirror and said tentatively: "After receiving your summons, I immediately contacted Beiye. Actions over there should have started, but there is no news yet. Why don't you
Leave this matter to Fino? The research class should have many ways to get Miss Miyamoto's position."
He didn't understand that Yu Jiang had to go around in a big circle to contact Bourbon even though he was leaving excellent resources unused. In William's opinion, intelligence personnel like Bourbon were the least trustworthy.
Yu Jiang raised his eyes and looked at him for a long time, then said: "You are quite good like this, at least you are much better than that bastard Kaios."
William silently typed a question mark.
Seeing that he was really confused, Yu Jiang simply leaned forward and approached the driver's seat: "You already know Kitano, why don't you think about it more deeply?"
Kitano Kazuki is an undercover agent who "defected" in the organization, and his apparent identity is affiliated with the police system. Then he contacted Bourbon... Yujiang has basically published the reference answer, but unfortunately William, a fool, didn't react at all.
Yu Jiang is actually quite looking forward to what Renye Karasuma's expression will be when he learns the news.
The organization you worked so hard to build is about to be turned into a hornet's nest by undercover agents. Look, look!
Meiji Shrine——
Unsurprisingly, Ikue met Subaru Okiya and the people behind him here.
