At 2:00 p.m., the Metropolitan Police Department received an email from the robbers, specifically requesting Takuma Amai to pick up a USB flash drive from a designated location and publish the data in the USB flash drive to the entire Internet.
Once this is done, the robbers will release all the hostages.
It is worth mentioning that the robbers only specifically required that Takuma Tenjo be included, but did not restrict how many people he could bring.
At 2:10 pm, Takuma Tenjo was ready to go.
"Officer Tianjing, please allow me to bring a team to follow you." said Ginzo Nakamori.
Tenjiu Takuma laughed heartily, "Hahaha, no need, Nakamori, I can do it alone."
Shinji Moroboshi made a sullen face and said sarcastically, "Of course, the Tianjing police officer is a hero who can defeat a hundred enemies at once. Why would he need the help of ordinary policemen like us?"
Takuma Amagi didn't care about his ridicule, bent her arms, and showed off her biceps, "Of course~ I'm very powerful."
He patted Shinji Moroboshi's shoulder and said, "But, Shinji is really nostalgic. I haven't seen you so gloomy in a long time. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Let's go listen to rock music together when I come back~ I heard there's a new rock band, and the lead singer is super hot~"
After saying that, he laughed, with that familiar frivolous taste.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest in your hands. Goodbye everyone!" Takuma Amai bowed, stood up and was about to leave.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his clothes. It was Mizuo Sosuke, who had always been very cold to him. "Do you really have to go?"
Conan has been following Mizuo Sosuke since he was a child, and he has never seen such an expression on the face of this famous novelist.
Mizuo Sosuke has always been proud, confident, and admired by people around him, like a little prince living in a palace made of gold. But at this moment, his face is paler and more fragile than ever before, and his eyes and eyebrows are full of pleading, like a dying man praying for the favor of God.
"Really, you've grown up, Sosuke." Takuma Amai rubbed his head. "Just wait here for me to come back, and I'll make you apple pie." He pried open the fingers of Mizuo Sosuke that were grabbing the hem of his clothes.
Mizuo Sosuke dropped his hands weakly, his body swaying, but he finally held on to the table and stood straight.
The people around them were confused. Why did it seem like Takuma Amagi and Mr. Mizuo had a story together? Was it that they developed a mutual sympathy for each other during the past two days?
Takuma Amari strode away, but when he passed by Miyazaki Ren, he paused for a moment. He looked at her greedily, moved his fingers as if he wanted to give her a hug, and opened his mouth, perhaps wanting to say goodbye, but in the end, he did nothing and said nothing, and just left.
At 2:30 p.m., an order was issued from the Cabinet, and the thugs hired by the senior executives began to act.
At 2:40 p.m., Takuma Amai arrived at his destination and, under the guidance of the robbers, took out the USB flash drive containing the criminal evidence of many high-ranking officials.
At 2:45 pm, Takuma Amai, who was about to drive away, was attacked by a large number of unidentified armed men and was forced to return to the villa.
At 15:00, Takuma Aoi fired the last bullet in his gun barrel. At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department received a threatening letter that if they sent a team to rescue Takuma Aoi, a place with a large flow of people in Tokyo would be blown up. The three families received a warning from the cabinet that if they cooperated in rescuing Takuma Aoi, the corresponding government policy resources would be cancelled.
At 15:05, after Mizuo Sosuke's reasoning, Furuya Rei and Conan and others set out to search for and dismantle the possible bomb buried. The three families of Yu gathered a secret rescue team.
At 15:20, the rescue team reported that the road to the destination was destroyed and they could not move forward. Rei Furuya, Conan and others finally found the place where the bomb was buried - Teitan High School.
At 15:25, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda rushed to Teitan High School and began to defuse the bomb. In the basement of a villa, the bombs on the collars of Suzuki Sonoko and the other two suddenly fell off, and the Metropolitan Police Department received a call from the hostages saying they were safe.
In the meeting room of the Metropolitan Police Department, Mizuo Sosuke suddenly burst into tears. He hugged Miyazaki Ren tightly, resting his head on her shoulder, and muttered to himself, "He's gone, he's gone again, he's really gone..."
The policemen in the conference room were in a panic and at a loss as they watched Mizuo Sosuke suddenly and inexplicably break down.
Miyazaki Ren waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you, just continue with your work." No one noticed at this moment that his face was as pale as paper, and it seemed that he had used up all his strength to say this.
At 3:40 p.m., a video began to sweep across Japan and gradually spread from Japan to the world. Media from all over the world reported on this incident, and the Japanese political arena was ignited by this fire.
The protagonist of the video is Takuma Amagi, who is performing an ancient ritual - seppuku.
He was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. He was kneeling with his back straight, like an ancient warrior.
"The sinner, Takuma Tenkai, will use his blood to apologize for trampling on the law today and speak out to expose the filth! I report that many officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including Daigo Shindo and Hirohito Shimamoto, colluded with the actual controller of the Karasuma Group, Renya Karasuma, to engage in corruption and bribery, □□, and engaged in the sale of human drugs, guns, etc., persecuting the Japanese people. The evidence of the crime is in the second half of the video, please watch it together."
He held the sharp blade in both hands, and the next second he stabbed it into his abdomen, cutting from left to right. His white shirt was instantly stained with blood. But his face was still as calm as a calm lake, without any trace of pain.
"Today, I wish to end all injustice with my blood."
He held the knife in his belly and moved it from bottom to top, all the way to his heart.
"Bang——" After a loud explosion, debris flew everywhere. There was a calm smile on his face, and behind him was a sea of fire.
The solitary moon hanging high in the sky was consumed in the sea of fire.
.......
As the most famous policeman in Japan, Takuma Aoi's life story was thoroughly known by the public as early as when he first appeared on the screen. Because of his handsome face and brilliant resume, his fan base is huge, comparable to that of an idol star.
He died in such a spectacular way when he was still in his prime, just to expose the darkness that he could not bear. The emotions of the masses were quickly ignited. Demonstrations broke out in many places. Unlike the small-scale protests in the previous two days, the number of people demonstrating this time was huge.
Thousands of people surrounded the Ministry of the Interior's office. The public was outraged. The police in the Metropolitan Police Department had become fed up with the officials of the Ministry of the Interior after days of scuffles. They were only trying to maintain order and avoid stampedes.
The majestic government office was spray-painted by the crowd, making it look particularly ridiculous.
It was a rare occasion that Shindo Daigo and Shimamoto Hirohito did not confront each other. They sat slumped on the sofa, listening to the insults outside. They knew that their political careers were over.
In a villa of the Black Organization, as soon as the video came out, Karasuma Renya knew that he was in trouble. Although he was very old, he was so angry that he fainted on the ground and is still in a coma.
Bermode stood by his bed with her arms folded across her chest. Her smile was unbridled, but her eyes were as cold as ice in the Arctic. She stared indifferently at the old man lying on the bed like a dead tree, laughing in her heart. It seemed that the feeling of being stabbed by the back of the knife in her hand must be really uncomfortable.
There was silence in the conference room. Takuma Amai had a high reputation in the Metropolitan Police Department. He liked to promote younger generations, and many police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department had been taken care of by him. Although he was sometimes a little eccentric and liked to be attentive to beautiful ladies, most of the time, he was a responsible police officer.
He is upright, brave, dedicated to the people, and never accepts bribes for personal gain.
His death was like a thunderbolt, shocking the whole of Japan. But the people in the Metropolitan Police Department didn't feel any sense of reality. Didn't they clearly say that they would wait for him to come back? Why did they wait for this? How could such a strong and unyielding Tianjing police officer, Masaru, die like this?
Mizuo Sosuke was weak and had fainted, either from overwork or excessive emotions. He was sent to the hospital and is now being cared for by his assistant Sera Akira.
Date Kou and Megure Juzo were communicating with the rescued hostages. Surprisingly, no one was hurt. In the eyes of the children, they were just out for an outing. Only a few adults knew the truth of the matter.
The bomb collars that Suzuki Sonoko and others were forced to wear were also fake and were not bombs at all.
Shinji Moroboshi and Ginzo Nakamori from the Second Investigation Section were taken away for investigation because of their close relationship with Takuma Akai. When Miyazaki Ren was promoted, Takuma Akai was no longer in the Second Investigation Section and was not familiar with him, so he was released after a few questions.
Miyazaki Ren's face was as pale as gold paper. The three aliases were working very hard in his mind, which was really exhausting. Although one of the aliases has been permanently offline and the other is temporarily offline, his nerves are still clamoring for a rest, but now is not the time to relax. There are still many things waiting for him to finish.
He first called Rum.
"Congratulations, Mr. Rum! You have taken a big step towards that position!" Miyazaki Ren flattered, "What happened with Campari must have been within Mr. Rum's expectations!
When Rum heard this, he was hooked. "Yes, everything is as I expected."
There was unconcealable happiness in his voice. Ever since returning to Japan, Rum had been restricted in every way. He knew it was due to the suppression from Karasuma Renya. Now seeing Karasuma Renya in trouble and Campari, who had once mocked him, rebelling and committing suicide, he was naturally in a good mood.
Miyazaki changed his tone to one of worry. "Mr. Rum is indeed very intelligent, but I am worried that the gentleman will harm you. His power has been weakened after this incident. How can he, who is old and frail and complacent, compare with you who is young, strong and intelligent? I am afraid that he will attack you soon. Please be careful, Mr. Rum."
Rum enjoyed his subordinates' care very much. He learned from the secret source that the gentleman was so angry with Campari that he needed emergency treatment. He was full of confidence and said, "Don't worry, I have everything under control."
Then Miyazaki Ren flattered him for a long time before ending the call.
After hanging up the phone, Miyazaki Renya cunningly cut out the beginning and end of the conversation between him and Rum, and only intercepted the middle part of the phone recording where he asked whether Rum had expected the Campari incident, and then Rum answered in the affirmative, and sent it to Karasuma Renya together with the apology email.
Although he had laid the groundwork many times before and repeatedly told Karasuma Renya that Campari was unreliable, Karasuma Renya would definitely be very angry and would take his anger out on others now that the matter had become so serious. Given his relationship with Amagi Takuma, he would most likely be the target of the anger, so he had to find someone to take the blame first, and Rum was the best person to take the blame.
In the email, he first confessed with tears that he did not discover Campari's conspiracy in advance, and then mentioned that he had begun to make amends, such as guiding online comments. Finally, he said that he suspected that Rum had intervened in this incident because Rum's deputy Bourbon had been in the Metropolitan Police Department for a long time.
Rum and Campari had a phone call before. Although they had a quarrel, they might have been secretly plotting something. Rum was so cunning!
Sure enough, after Karasuma Renya woke up and saw the email, all his anger was directed at Rum. Compared to the people who just waited for his orders, Brandy who took the initiative to clean up and solve problems seemed so precious, especially with the traitor Rum as a backdrop.
"Vermode, inform Gin to secretly deal with Rum and don't alert anyone else." Karasuma Renya leaned on the bed, saying breathlessly.
When Vermouth heard this order, she was in a happy mood. It seemed as if there was a wreath of pink flowers around her. She could hardly hide the smile on her face. Finally, she relied on her years of acting skills to pretend to be respectful and said, "I will follow your instructions."
.....
In the Poirot Café, Rei Furuya and Conan were sitting together eating.
Conan held his chin with one hand and rolled up the spaghetti with a fork with the other hand, looking worried. "Something is wrong. Something is wrong with this case. I seem to have overlooked something."
Seeing such a reliable senior leave in this way, Furuya Rei had mixed feelings. He ate his food mechanically, "What did I overlook? Mr. Aoi's reasoning ability? I only heard that he was good at fighting and shooting, but I didn't expect that he was also good at reasoning. He even took into account Mr. Mizuo's reaction."
"Yes, that's it!" Conan slapped the table excitedly, "Mr. Tianjing seems to know Sosuke very well, and Sosuke's reasoning ability is far more than what he showed in the Metropolitan Police Department. There must be something between them."
He put down the cutlery and was about to rush out, but the next second, his collar was grabbed by Furuya Rei.
"Eat first. Teacher Mizuo is still lying in the hospital. Are you going to rush up and ask him?" As an adult, Furuya Rei is not like Conan who only has reasoning in his eyes. He can personally feel the sadness of Mizuo Sosuke. He is sure that even if Mizuo Sosuke has a relationship with Amari Takuma, he must not be involved in this case.
If that's the case, why bother running over to someone and asking for clues or the truth when they're feeling sad?
"Hehe." Conan smiled sheepishly, then sat down obediently to continue eating. He also realized that it was not a good idea for him to behave like this.
"Ding-ling-ling" As the wind chimes rang, Kenji Hagiwara, Jinpei Matsuda and Ren Miyazaki pushed the door open and walked in.
It was lunchtime, and the Café Polo was almost full.
"Oh, Conan and Mr. Amuro are here too. Do you mind sharing a table?" Kenji Hagiwara waved and greeted them.
Conan looked at the three people and felt a little flustered. After all, he had been exposed by them before. Fūya Ling nodded and said, "No problem, please take a seat."
The five of them sat together.
"I want black pepper steak pasta. What do you want, Xiao Zhenping and Miyazaki?" Hagiwara Kenji asked while looking at the menu.
Matsuda Jinpei said weakly, "I want the black pepper steak pasta too."
But after waiting for no reply from Miyazaki Ren for a long time, Matsuda Jinpei pushed his friend's shoulder and said, "Miyazaki, Miyazaki?"
Miyazaki Ren seemed to have just reacted, "Huh?"
"What would you like to eat?" Matsuda Jinpei asked again.
"All right."
"Then let's do the same as me, black pepper steak pasta."
"Um."
"Ms. Enomoto, order three portions of black pepper steak pasta." Hagiwara Kenji said to Azusa Enomoto beside him.
Azusa Enomoto put away the menu, "Okay, please wait."
At this time, Matsuda Jinpei was looking at Miyazaki Ren suspiciously, "Miyazaki, you are not right. You have been silent from just now until now. Is it because of Mr. Tianjing's matter?"
Because of his extreme behavior, Takuma Aoi has been stripped of his police title, so people like Matsuda Jinpei call him "Mr. Aoi".
"It's okay, I'm just tired." Miyazaki Ren shook his head. He picked up the water cup, tilted his head back and took a sip. Maybe he drank too quickly, he started coughing violently.
“Ahem…”
Hagihara Kenji massaged Miyazaki Ren's back, "Drink slowly, there's no rush."
"Hmm." Miyazaki Ren covered her mouth with her hands to prevent saliva from flying around due to coughing.
"Blood! Brother Miyazaki, you are coughing up blood!" The sharp-eyed Conan shouted when he saw the bright red color between Miyazaki Ren's fingers.
The next second, Miyazaki Ren's head fell heavily on the table and he passed out.
"Zero, do you have a car? Take Miyazaki to the hospital!" Jinpei Matsuda called out Furuya Rei's real name in panic.
Everyone present was an acquaintance, and their attention was focused on Miyazaki Ren, so no one noticed.
With the help of the superb technology of the driving god Kenji Hagihara, they soon arrived at the Beika City Hospital and Miyazaki Ren was sent for rescue.
.....
The doctor in a white coat pushed up his glasses and asked, "Who is Miyazaki Ren's family member?"
Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji looked at each other in bewilderment. "We are his friends. We have the same thing to say as I do."
The doctor paused and said, "It would be best if his relatives come."
Matsuda Jinpei scratched his hair in annoyance. "Miyazaki's family? I've never heard him talk about it. Hagi, Amuro, have you heard him talk about it?"
Hagiwara Kenji and Furuya Rei looked at each other and shook their heads.
The doctor sighed, "The patient's condition is not optimistic. According to the examination data, this time the vomiting of blood was caused by overwork, mental tension, and excessive emotions. But these are not big problems, and they will be fine after nursing. The problem is this."
The doctor pointed to several high-indicators on the test sheet and said, "These indicators are far higher than normal data. I hope to do further examinations after he wakes up."
"Doctor, what do these indicators relate to?" Jinpei Matsuda asked with a trembling voice.
Even doctors who are used to seeing life and death still feel uncomfortable every time they face such a situation. He said tactfully, "It is usually related to cancer, but it is not necessarily related. The specifics will have to wait until further examinations to tell."
The three returned to the ward with heavy hearts.
Miyazaki Ren lives in a double ward. Coincidentally, his neighbor is Mizuo Sosuke. At this time, Mizuo Sosuke has woken up and is leaning on the bed eating an apple. Conan next to him is acting coquettishly and cutely, trying to get some information.
"Oh, Sosuke-nii really likes to eat apples. Where is Sosuke-nii from?"
Mizuo Sosuke sneered, "Heh, little brat."
"Brother Sosuke, just tell me, I really want to know." Conan used the cute and flirtatious trick.
Mizuo Sosuke remained unmoved and turned his head to the side. Sera Akira beside him stopped him from pestering, "Okay Conan, don't disturb Mr. Mizuo. Mr. Mizuo needs to rest. Aren't you a member of the Junior Detective Corps? Why don't you go check it out yourself?"
Conan looked at Mizuo Sosuke desperately, but seeing that he still didn't want to pay any attention to him, he could only give up the idea of asking around.
Fūya Rei and the other two were in a state of confusion. They stared closely at their friend on the bed. He was always cunning, but now he was lying lifeless on the bed. Only the beating numbers on the electrocardiogram monitor next to him proved that he was still alive.
