Nearing 2 a.m., there were fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the street.
Occasionally, some middle-aged office workers would walk out of the pub arm in arm, shouting "let's go to the next one" or something like that...
Most shops are closed, including some in the red-light district, which stop operating at 2 a.m.
“Ha~”
Conan yawned loudly and rubbed his sore eyes.
Ever since his body became smaller, it seemed as if his body had returned to its childhood and he started to feel sleepy at 9 o'clock.
No wonder Mao Lilan was worried about him.
"Just take a nap if you're tired. It's not certain whether we can catch Kiichiro Numabuchi."
Glancing at him, Sakaki Makoto said calmly.
If Kiichiro Numabuchi really escaped...
He had no choice but to return to Tokyo.
There was no way out. The support given to him by the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters was far less than that given by the Metropolitan Police Department, and they even somewhat excluded him.
If you're in Tokyo...
I'm afraid Kiichiro Numabuchi has been caught long ago.
"I'm not sleepy."
Conan lied with his eyes open, slapped his face hard, and forced himself to cheer up.
Success or failure depends on this move, how can he fall asleep at this critical moment?
From time to time, there was a sound of electric current coming from the intercom.
Except for the occasional passing car, the surroundings are very quiet, as if...
The whole city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep from the hustle and bustle.
2am to 4am is the quietest time of the day.
After 4 o'clock, some restaurants have to get up early to prepare ingredients, press the start button of the city, and get the gears turning again.
Day after day, week after week.
Hiss...hiss...click!
"Notify all police officers, notify all police officers..."
Everyone perked up and looked at the intercom.
"We just received a report from the township councillor. Thirty minutes ago, his private car was stolen by Kiichiro Numabuchi. The license plate number is Osaka 3144, with yellow letters on a black background. It is a Nissan compact hatchback. I will repeat it again..."
"The vehicle that the fugitive Kiichiro Numabuchi was riding in was a Nissan compact hatchback with the license plate number Osaka 3144!"
clue!
Hattori Heiji was so excited that he almost jumped up.
This is the decisive clue!
Car model, license plate number...
Knowing this, Kiichiro Numabuchi will definitely not be able to escape far!
"Inspector Otaki, please!"
Nodding, Otaki Goro's face tense, he gripped the steering wheel tightly and said:
"Hold on tight!"
squeak!
After the teeth-grinding sound of rubber friction, the Toyota Crown special police car that Makoto Sakaki and others were riding in suddenly accelerated. With a strong sense of push on the back, the speedometer kept soaring...
70, 75, 80!
They were totally speeding!
But Goro Otaki seemed not to have seen the 40 speed limit sign on the roadside. He downshifted to 4, increased the torque, stepped on the accelerator pedal deeply, and fully opened the throttle!
Because it was late at night...
There were few vehicles on the street, so Otaki Goro could show off his driving skills to his heart's content.
As the speed increased rapidly, the police car plunged into the darkness like a swordfish swimming in a rapid stream.
If there weren't so many people in the car...
I'm afraid it's about to take off.
.................
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead, Kiichiro Numabuchi clenched the steering wheel with red eyes, trying his best to control the speed of the car to avoid arousing the suspicion of the traffic police.
He was so nervous that his heart rate reached 180 beats per minute, and his stomach felt as if someone was grabbing it, causing severe pain.
Just 10 minutes more...10 minutes!
At the speed of the car, he was approaching the edge of Osaka Prefecture. He would be able to escape from Osaka Prefecture in 10 minutes at most.
As hope draws nearer...
Kiichiro Numabuchi's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and the cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes. He didn't dare to slack off at all.
Sudden!
A strong light came from the rearview mirror, and Yao could hardly open his eyes.
Late at night, I met a car with my high beam on...
Who the hell is so lacking in public morality!
He was so angry that he cursed in his heart.
Maybe I heard his scolding...
The car behind turned off its high beam, and the light intensity dropped sharply.
Numabuchi Kiichiro breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked up at the other person, but...
Just this one glance frightened him so much that his heart stopped beating for a moment!
police car!
"Vehicles ahead please pull over, we need to conduct a routine inspection."
Otaki Goro grabbed the intercom and started shouting.
He recognized the license plate by the high beam, but did not call out Kiichiro Numabuchi's name directly, as that would alert the enemy.
At the same time, on the other side, Hattori Heiji had reported their location to other police officers.
Now...
I'm afraid that all the police officers in Osaka Prefecture are flocking to Nishiyodogawa Ward.
this,
It's a hunting operation!
The hunters began to close the circle, and the prey they were targeting...
The space for movement will be reduced little by little, just like a frog in boiling water, and you will be trapped in a desperate situation.
Numabuchi Kiichiro...
I won't just sit there and wait for death.
He quickened his pace.
How could Otaki Goro just watch him escape?
A chase...
here we go.
In times of panic, human potential is endless.
Even though Kiichiro Numabuchi didn't have a driver's license, he showed driving skills that were comparable to Goro Otaki's.
Turn, accelerate, accelerate!
Although there is no magical skill like turning the drainage ditch, but....
