After much deliberation, Makoto Sakaki decided to wait until Hattori Heiji returned to Tokyo before letting him keep an eye on Kus Larenzo.
"With Brother Hattori's ability, it is not difficult to keep a close eye on Kus Larenzo. Even if the opponent is as strong as Bourbon, Brother Hattori can complete the task."
Sakaki Makoto still trusts Hattori Heiji. After all, his father is Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Prefecture. In previous contacts, his reasoning and adaptability have been proven to be no weaker than Bourbon.
"So what should we do next?"
Hiroki asked:
"Now that the Black Organization knows that Akai Tsutomu has appeared, they will definitely quickly formulate a plan and search for Akai Tsutomu's whereabouts. How can we lure Rum out?"
"Well, the Black Organization currently only knows that Akai Tsutomu has appeared, but they don't know where he is hiding, so their next step should be to send out subordinates to plant spies in Tokyo to look for Akai Tsutomu."
Sakaki Makoto pondered and said:
"We must take advantage of this period to find a suitable place to kill Rum."
"Where is the best place to start?"
Conan was confused:
"Tokyo is so big and there are so many people. How can it be so easy to kill Rum quietly?"
"If you want to kill Rum, you have to find him in a place where he can't escape."
Sakaki Makoto smoked a cigarette while frowning and thinking:
"This place can't be too open, otherwise the members of the Black Organization will act together and look after each other, making it hard to find an opportunity to attack. We don't have many people, so we can't confront the Black Organization head-on. We need to avoid their edge and strike when Rum is alone."
Conan and the others looked at each other, helpless.
How easy is it to leave Rum alone?
Rum is an old fox. He has been with the Boss for such a long time that he is extremely cautious in doing things. He is like a turtle in his daily life. He lets Gin execute all the plans made by the organization, and he hides behind and observes secretly. He will only intervene when the situation develops beyond his expectations.
This kind of enemy is the most difficult to deal with, and the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole may not work on him.
Even if Sakaki Makoto used Akai Tsumugi's identity to successfully get him to take action personally, there was no guarantee that he would have the chance to do so.
unless....
"Unless the other person smells the aroma of meat."
Sakaki narrowed his eyes and said:
"A hungry wolf will never attack easily. Only when it is sure that its prey has exposed a flaw and can be captured in one fell swoop will it show its fangs, pounce on it, and bite the opponent's throat!"
"So we must choose a location carefully. It should be like a Colosseum. Once you enter, no one can leave. Only the winner can survive! Force Rum to duel with us!"
"Are you talking about Tokyo Tower?"
Conan asked quickly:
"If we were really at Tokyo Tower, we could make it like the Colosseum by blocking the entrances and exits."
"no."
Sakaki Makoto immediately shook his head and denied Conan's statement:
"Although Tokyo Tower is independent of the world, the ones who blocked the entrance must be members of the Black Organization, not us!"
"If we choose to attack there, even if we kill Rum, we won't be able to escape!"
"My favorite place is a means of transportation, such as a cruise ship, an airplane or... a Shinkansen train!"
“No for cruise ships.”
Kidd said without hesitation:
"I'm afraid of fish, and the cruise ship is too far from the shore, so the hang glider may not work well. Moreover, according to the points you just mentioned, the cruise ship is a real confined space. Whether it can return to the shore is decided by the Black Organization. If the operation does not go smoothly, we will be in danger... I think the plane is good. No matter where the plane is, I have the confidence to take you back to the ground."
“Aren’t airplanes more dangerous?”
Miss Miyano retorted:
"Your hang glider can only carry one person at best, and we all have to participate in this operation. If the situation gets out of control, who will you take to escape?"
"Besides, the space on an airplane is narrow. Even if it's a large passenger plane, it only takes two minutes to get from the front to the back. How can Rum be left alone? That's a den of wolves! If we start on the plane, we'll definitely die!"
"It seems that there is only one left..."
Sakaki Makoto smiled:
"To be honest, I think the Shinkansen train is the best place to do it."
"First of all, the Shinkansen train has 18 to 20 carriages, each of which is blocked by an iron door. It can barely be regarded as an independent closed space, stretching in a straight line from front to back, and the front and rear cannot be seen from each other."
"If we can lead Gin, Vermouth and the others to the rear carriage and let Rum stay in the front carriage, then no matter what we do, Gin and the others won't be able to come to our aid immediately, and we'll have plenty of time to act."
"Secondly..."
"The Shinkansen train runs at an extremely high speed, stopping at a platform every 20 minutes on average. This is an uncontrollable factor. Once any problem occurs on the train, the station staff will immediately seek help from the police. The Black Organization cannot confront the police head-on. If they see the situation is not good, they will definitely choose to retreat. This is the guarantee of our survival!"
The Black Organization can block cruise ships and airplanes, but cannot block the Shinkansen trains.
After all, once a train starts moving, it must be controlled by the station. No matter what the Black Organization does, the train will definitely pass through other platforms. By then...
Isn't there a lot of room for maneuver?
At least compared to airplanes and cruise ships that are out of reach, trains are not only safe, but can also provide Sakaki Makoto and others with a good opportunity to take action and an excellent space to escape.
"The most important thing is that we can use Maori Kogoro to naturally lead Rum and the others onto the train."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"Bourbon has been monitoring Maori Kogoro under the orders of Rum, and I chose Bourbon as a witness to Akai Tsuchimure's appearance so that the Black Organization would believe that Bourbon was being targeted by Akai Tsuchimure."
"In this way, the Black Organization will certainly use Bourbon to lure Akai Mumu into action, but they can't guess that this is also our strategy to lure soldiers... He who fishes will always be caught."
"What if the Black Organization directly dispatches Apache helicopter gunships to bomb the train?"
Conan shrank his neck and said:
"They are definitely capable of doing this. If they do, we will be dead..."
"Why did the Black Organization send out an armed helicopter before confirming that Akai Tsutomu was on the train?"
Sakaki Makoto waved his hand and said:
"You worry too much. The Boss has always been low-key. The bombing of a train by an armed helicopter is enough to make headlines in various countries. Let alone the impact of this incident, how can the Black Organization ensure that Akai Mumu will be killed in the bombing? If Akai Mumu didn't get on the train at all, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity? And there is also Bourbon's safety. Rum has to take it into consideration!"
