Chapter 2610 2622 [New Safe Island]
Before she could say more, the bald man hung up the phone with a click.
Then he looked at his son, smiled, and stuffed a heavy puff box into his hand: "Take it, don't delay any longer. There will be a nurse making rounds at 3:30 pm, and your mission is to kill that guy before the round begins - how about it, it's simple, right?"
“It’s so simple…” Guankou’s son was about to say something rude, but he swallowed it back when he saw the other party’s ferocious face. He begged, “I’m not you. Let alone killing people with a gun. This is the first time I’ve seen a gun in real life. I can’t help you kill your accomplices who fell into the hands of the police… I really can’t do such a thing!”
"Shut up! Do you want to attract those cops?" The bald man snorted coldly and poked his chest fiercely with his cell phone. "When the time comes, just hold the pistol against him like this, then pull the trigger and shoot all the bullets - at such a close distance, you can hit a pig, so don't tell me nonsense like 'I can't aim' when the time comes."
Then he looked at his watch and said, "Okay, there's still some time before the action starts. Go wash your face and calm down. If you still don't dare..."
When Yoshio Sekiguchi heard his words, his eyes lit up: So forget it?
The bald man smiled sinisterly: "Then think about your daughter. One of her and that guy must die today."
Sekiguchi Yoshio: "..."
After a brief stalemate, the middle-aged man with elderly parents and young children left with heavy steps, holding the box of puffs.
The bald man stayed in the stairwell.
Soon, his accomplice's voice came through his headset: "Is this guy really reliable? I'm really worried that he will faint in front of Akabane with a gun, which will expose our presence."
The bald man sneered: "It doesn't matter, if this guy doesn't dare, I still have plan B.
"There's a new patient in Akabane's ward, he's a mental patient, and today a few kids are visiting him - if Sekiguchi can't do anything, we can threaten that Yamada guy and make him do it.
The accomplice on the phone's eyes lit up when he heard this, and thought this plan was brilliant: "The mentally ill man was stimulated and accidentally killed his fellow patient - the police can easily close the case with this conclusion, and we can also easily make Akabane shut up in front of the police forever... Great, let's do it!"
…
“A-choo!”
Vodka slipped out of the ward and rubbed his nose, looking around suspiciously: "I always feel that there are bastards who want to plot against me again... Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. The best policy is to find a safe place to stay first."
At this moment, he looked up inadvertently and saw a few people walking around the corner in front.
"Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi, and the guy who was in charge of protecting me yesterday with Takagi... uh, what's the name of this honest-looking guy? I think his last name is Kamikawa?" Vodka found a few familiar faces and thought, "With so many policemen here, if someone suddenly attacks me and I run over here, they should be able to stop me."
After briefly assessing the available mobile resources around him, Vodka did not alarm the other party and continued walking towards the next safe island that might come in handy.
…
In order to allow their benefactor to watch the concert comfortably, the three children from the Junior Detective Team ran to the nurse to borrow a portable stool.
They were carrying stools and were about to return to the ward when they suddenly felt something was missing.
"Wait." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya turned his head sharply, his eyes sharp, "Where did Conan go again?"
The other two kids: “!”
They looked around and were about to condemn this cunning partner who once again refused to play with them. However, at this moment, a familiar figure ran over and waved his hand: "Sorry, sorry, I just went to the bathroom."
Kojima Genta looked at Conan's hands and said disdainfully: "Have you washed your hands?"
Conan's eyes twitched: "..." You really know how to miss the point...
"Well, aren't we going to deliver a stool to Mr. Yamada?" He thought of the vodka that had left his sight, and urged the children worriedly, "Let's go quickly, don't waste time."
…
When a few kids went looking for vodka.
On the other side, in the hospital bathroom, a police inspector who had actually gone to the toilet was concentrating on washing his hands.
Inspector Megure turned off the faucet, wiped his hands and asked several subordinates behind him: "Have you confirmed all the information?"
Officer Takagi nodded. "The tire marks left by the bank robbers are exactly the same as the car registered by Akabane."
Akabane was the car accident patient who lived in the same ward as Vodka. On the day the bank was robbed, although the police failed to stop the robbers at the crime scene, they also caught up with them in time afterwards.
During the chase, the robbers fled in panic and unfortunately got into a car accident after being startled by a passing motorcycle.
The other robbers abandoned their cars and fled, but Akabane lost consciousness on the spot due to the severe damage. His accomplices probably thought he was dead, so they ignored him and fled alone.
After briefly introducing the situation, Officer Takagi remembered something and couldn't help but smile: "What a coincidence, there is a Mr. 'Yamada Taro' living in Akabane's ward."
The honest-looking police officer next to him was startled: "In yesterday's kidnapping case, the detective assistant we were responsible for protecting was called Yamada Taro, right?"
"That's right." Officer Takagi, "But they are probably not the same person. Who would move back and forth in the same hospital? I guess they just happen to have the same name."
The honest policeman thought: "Is that so..."
Inspector Megure also thought it was quite a coincidence, but he had a lot of cases recently and a lot of things to deal with. He had no time to pay attention to this fun, so he said to Officer Takagi:
"I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department first. You guys continue to be in charge of surveillance. Once Akabane recovers to the point where he can be questioned, take him back immediately. Also, don't let anyone know about this - otherwise, if his accomplices learn of this and come to silence him, things will be troublesome."
Officer Takagi: "Okay, police department."
Inspector Megure wiped his hands, turned and walked towards the door.
At this moment, a person who was huddled in a corner washing his hands raised his head and fixed his eyes on his back.
Yoshio Sekiguchi looked at the man called "Inspector" and felt extremely conflicted.
——He really didn't know what to do now, so helplessly, he instinctively followed the kidnapper's words and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
The biting chill of the cold water on his skin not only failed to help him make up his mind to kill, but instead made his mind calmer.
"Even if I really killed my father's fellow patient and helped those robbers to silence him... would those guys let my daughter go?"
