Chapter 65 Why are all the cell phone numbers disconnected?
"Hmph! You think I can't handle it?" Gin was so angry that he laughed when he heard the other party's tone, which implied that he was closer to the fat pig than to himself. With his own fat pig's personality, how could he not know?
"Illegal activities, my foot! She gets so scared she trembles when I teach her how to fire a gun, but she's incredibly fast at disassembling them. She learns things that aren't illegal quite well, but when it comes to illegal activities, she's so nervous she's practically broken and can't keep going."
o( ̄ヘ ̄o#) With that kind of spineless attitude, if she weren't his own sister, he would have shot her long ago. Knowing her as he does, even if he hadn't seen her for a few years, she probably wouldn't be any better. What decent things could she possibly do?
Not to mention stealing luxury goods worth nearly 10 billion yen, equivalent to over 100 million RMB. Although he thought so, he subconsciously asked sarcastically, "Would she be short of money?"
If she could learn to curb those women's extravagant spending habits, the sun would probably rise in the west. Since joining the organization and earning more and more, I've been giving her a monthly allowance of 500,000 RMB (converted to the Chinese currency).
She never once spent all her money and asked for more. After turning 19, she didn't spend a single penny and saved it all in the bank... Is the Chinese people's ingrained habit of saving money inherited through genes? I never taught her to save money, yet she has had this habit since she was little!
"Well! We have some things we have to do, and we can't do without financial support." Matsuda deliberately gave this ambiguous reply, but in his heart, he thought that although he didn't believe the junior would do anything illegal, he was a little hesitant...
Even if he could sense the other person's emotions, he knew they were siblings and understood each other's personalities. Moreover, if he said what he did today, his lie would be exposed when he contacted the younger schoolgirl from that period.
If we encounter this situation in another instance and something similar happens that required communication today, he won't believe anything I or Hagi say unless we bring him into the game as well...
Bring him into the game? This dangerous guy would be too dangerous for the Japanese public! We can't bring him to justice right now, so why not put him in the game first and make him a dangerous element for the game organizers?
Moreover, this would also prevent the possibility that something might have happened to him in 2015, leading to a possible death or disappearance, which the junior schoolmate was worried about. However, although he thought this method was good, he still needed to discuss it with the junior schoolmate, since he was her brother and neither he nor Hagi could make the decision for her...
Thinking of this, Matsuda could only continue, "However, these things are a secret between us. I will discuss with her sometime whether to tell you or not. In short, we will see her decision when we meet again, and even if you contact her now, she will not tell you the answer."
After all, the current junior high school students are still completely unaware of what the future holds! Matsuda thought to himself quietly.
"Hmph!" Hearing him say that, Gin, despite not believing that the fat pig could keep anything a secret from him, still said, "There are bombs on the roof, the connecting bridge, and some floors that must be destroyed."
Even without a remote detonation, it will explode in another 9 minutes. I hope you're as agile as you were on the Shinkansen today and can escape in time. Otherwise, regardless of whether Fatty Piglet is really here or not, you'll all be caught up in this giant firework..."
"Then you don't need to worry. We have other safe passages. Not to mention nine minutes, three minutes will be enough." After hearing his agreement, Matsuda didn't even wait for Gin to finish his flirtatious talk before saying it succinctly.
After hanging up the phone and returning the earring-shaped phone to Conan, she crossed the bridge connecting Building B back to Building A, but upon looking around, she realized...
I didn't see the little boy at all, but I did see the mother and child who had been there earlier appear safely in the crowd.
It seems they were lucky enough to find another way downstairs after leaving the elevator, before the explosion! Several children also ran out of the B building entrance and surrounded a chubby elderly man…
He remembered that in the banquet hall, these children and the elderly man seemed to be with the little boy. How did they end up in Building B? And without any adults with them? How could they let a few children evacuate alone during a dangerous evacuation?
The thought flashed through Matsuda's mind. Time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to think it through. Seeing that Conan wasn't there, he had no choice but to return the earring and phone, and he didn't have time to wait there.
After confirming his disguise, he quickly walked to Ran Mouri's side and whispered, "Ran-san, do you know where that little boy who was with you went?"
"He's probably waiting in Professor Agasa's car! I just saw him run towards Professor Agasa's car." Although Ran Mouri had been comforting her father, who was still panicked and terrified from almost losing her, she also habitually took care of Conan, who liked to run around.
So when they saw Conan run to Professor Agasa's car and not come back, they assumed he was a little scared of the messy scene and went to wait in the car. They had no idea that Conan was actually going to the trunk of Professor Agasa's car to get a skateboard, and then ran to Building B.
Upon hearing her reply, Matsuda, with his long legs, quickly walked to the yellow Beetle in the direction Ran Mouri pointed. After looking down and seeing that no one was inside, he realized that time was of the essence and he didn't have time to waste searching for someone to return the phone.
I decided that if I could find a working phone next time, I would try to return the earring-shaped phone to the little boy. Then I quickly and discreetly walked towards the entrance of Building B.
He was lucky this time. Even though he had calculated the return time to include the possibility that he might have to wait for the elevator to be used by other people or that he might be delayed on other floors, he unexpectedly encountered no problems that would hinder his trip.
Upon reaching the first floor, he found an elevator waiting. The elevator moved smoothly without any other users around, allowing him to reach the floor containing the connecting bridge as quickly as possible…
.
Just when Matsuda's bad luck finally ended and everything was going smoothly, Hagiwara, who had left the washroom a few minutes earlier to meet Matsuda, also encountered an unexpected development. First, while he was looking for Matsuda in other places around the banquet hall...
To his surprise, he found a basket full of cell phones on the desk in what appeared to be an assistant's office. This was a welcome surprise for him, as his phone had been running out of battery and he was behind on his bill.
After experiencing several dungeons, he was able to persuade Feng Xing Shou to collect luxury goods worth nearly 10 billion. Naturally, he let himself go a lot. Now, seeing these phones, he didn't restrain himself from being reckless like Matsuda did with the discipline of a policeman.
Without the slightest hesitation, I quickly picked out a phone from the basket that didn't require fingerprint unlocking and casually glanced at the fingerprints on the screen under the light of the small desk lamp.
He actually guessed the phone's password, and while carrying the basket of phones out, he continued searching for Kojinpei, and skillfully dialed the phone number of his squad leader, Date Wataru. Kojinpei had already told him that his squad leader had been transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department's Major Crimes Investigation Division.
The bombs here are too dangerous, and the boss that Brother Feng works for seems even more dangerous. I should send a message to my squad leader before evacuating. No matter how dangerous or powerful, as a police officer, I can't leave someone who threatens the safety of the people unattended.
As for the fact that he was still alive being exposed to the class president? For Hagiwara, contacting his family was a very difficult and agonizing decision. He cared about them so much that he didn't want to miss a single day, which is why he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind to contact his parents and sister.
Contacting friends I've known since police academy, with whom I've been through so much together, doesn't create any psychological barriers. They're friends with shared aspirations, and even after seven years apart, when it comes to serious matters, the sadness and heartache of past separations don't seem so important anymore...
After all, it was anticipated that if the police sent firefighters to put out the fire without knowing that there were bombs all over the building, and the firefighters were killed or injured by the bombs, this kind of thing could happen.
There was no way to contact reliable people without a cell phone, but now that there is a cell phone, worrying about all sorts of messy things has led to this result. Not to mention the class monitor, even he himself can't forgive himself...
Thinking this, he didn't expect that the number being broadcast was not in service. What happened? Did the class monitor change his phone? Xiao Zhenping didn't say anything! Does getting married mean changing phone numbers and starting all over again?
Tsk! Oh well, if I can't get through to the squad leader, I'll just contact Komobushi! I heard from Kojinpei that he worked at the Metropolitan Police Department and later transferred to the Ministry of Public Security. He knows people on both sides, so he's quite suitable for handling dangerous situations like this.
So he dialed Morofushi Kagemitsu's cell phone again, and the message "number not in service" came through again, causing even the usually calm Morofushi to break into a half-moon-shaped glare. But then he remembered that Kojinpei had told him that Morofushi's job had been transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department to the Public Security Bureau.
He also experienced that shortly after Xiao Jiang Gu was taken away by the Ministry of Public Security, the photos they took together were deleted under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Security personnel, and he signed some confidential documents. It is speculated that he may have changed his phone number because he had to change his old contact method due to some kind of work arranged by the Public Security.
Although Hagiwara was promoted to squad leader due to her superb skills, extensive knowledge, and strong interpersonal skills, she had not actually been officially employed by the □□ handling team for very long; she had only been employed for less than two months before being rescued by Fuu-chan.
I don't know many of the police officers from other departments who are capable of handling such serious cases. I know many of my colleagues, but I don't know their current positions or whether they are capable of handling this matter.
With no other option, he tried contacting Kofuruya, hoping that his job wouldn't require him to have his contact information turned off like Komorofushi's. Fortunately, he seemed to have good luck this time and got through smoothly.
As always, Furuya was impatient; the phone rang and someone answered immediately! While inwardly mocking Furuya's impatience, Hagiwara suppressed his excitement at finally getting in touch with an old friend and said into the phone in his usual warm and gentle tone, "Furuya, it's been a long time!"
"...Who are you?" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Bourbon-san, who was currently working diligently with his intelligence expertise, almost dropped his phone. However, he had already worked with Vermouth before and witnessed her incredible voice-changing skills.
Even though the voice on the phone sounded exactly like Hagiwara's, given that he was certain his best friend had died, he simply couldn't believe it was Hagiwara himself. It must be some malicious person skilled in voice changing impersonating him. o( ̄ヘ ̄o#)
However, he shouldn't be a member of the organization. Given the organization's style, if they could find out the surname Furuya, they must have thoroughly investigated his background and knew that he was an undercover agent for the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
They wouldn't give him any chance to react; they would simply capture him, interrogate him, or kill him. They would never test him in this way, just like when his Scottish identity was exposed. Once exposed, he faced a relentless pursuit until...
