Chapter 3635 3650 [Accomplice]
After summarizing the messages from his subordinates, Amuro Tooru suddenly sighed.
If everything went according to Jiang Xia's plan, then both Hirukawa and Asanaga would now be alive and in the hands of the police.
But……
"I had Inoue follow Hirukawa, who detonated the sewer, and then I had Yamanaka with video equipment to follow Inoue from a distance, filming any suspicious persons and any abnormal situations that might occur."
"As a result, Inoue alerted Asanaga, who wanted to silence Hirukawa. So Asanaga did not follow the original plan to hide far away and detonate the bomb by the river, but instead risked staying nearby to spy—because of this, he discovered Enatsu and the others who were quietly approaching Hirukawa, and detonated the bomb prematurely, leading to Hirukawa's death."
"And Yamanaka filmed Asanaga's actions, which became evidence to arrest him... If I hadn't kept this in mind, we might not have been able to catch either of them."
They lost, but it seems they didn't lose completely.
In any case, at least we didn't come away empty-handed.
"Let's call it a day," he ordered wearily, about to hang up, when he suddenly remembered something. "Wait, contact the newspaper and tell them..."
Amuro Tooru lowered his voice and began to whisper among himself as he plotted with his subordinates.
...
On the other side.
Inside a bar that has not yet opened for business.
A phantom thief is also plotting with his all-powerful old man.
Terai Kinosuke pressed the switch on the pool table, and soon, a scaled-down model of a museum slowly rose to the tabletop, appearing before Kid's eyes along with the roads and vegetation surrounding the museum.
This is also why Kidd only climbed the sewers and didn't explore other places in detail—Grandpa Terai would collect these readily available materials for his reference.
After looking at the model for a while and then typing on his laptop, Kidd gradually got an idea.
“I’ve found the entry point.” He looked at the half-person-high model in front of him and smiled smugly. “The rest is how to get this ‘Blue Miracle’—speaking of which, Grandpa Terai, you should have heard of the miracle of ‘Ocean Walk’, right?”
Terai Kinosuke didn't know what he was up to, but seeing the young master's arrogant smile reminded him of the handsome old man, so he smiled along and said in agreement, "Of course I've heard of him."
Kidd picked up a pen and started scribbling on the paper: "In that case, let's create an even more magical miracle than walking on the ocean!"
Before he finished speaking, his draft was already complete.
Terai Kinosuke tilted his head to look at the draft, suddenly realized, and exclaimed in surprise, "You want to..."
“That’s right!” Kidd moved his nimble hands. “Sleight of hand is the foundation of magic, and this performance is no exception—Grandpa Terai, how long will it take to prepare the props this time?”
Terai Kinosuke estimated, "It should be ready before Friday."
“Then let’s set it for Saturday.” Kidd started typing on the computer, and he couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about the magic trick he was about to perform. “Making that bespectacled kid lose his glasses shouldn’t be a problem. It would be even better if Jiang Xia could be scared off too.”
Terai Kinosuke: "Eka doesn't seem to wear glasses."
“…” Kidd changed his mind, “Then let him be so startled he drops his baton!”
Soon, he pressed enter, and an anonymous email was forwarded through countless nodes and quietly dropped into the mailboxes of various publishing houses.
"Kidd's Announcement!!"
Amidst a series of heinous crimes—murder, robbery, explosions, and more—a theft case suddenly emerges, seeming somewhat out of place. But the entire newspaper office erupts in a frenzy: "Quick! Send out the news urgently!"
...
Day 2.
Fresh newspapers were delivered to each household.
In one of the unremarkable apartments, an unremarkable bomber returned home with breakfast, casually pulled out several different newspapers from the mailbox, and then sat down at the dining table to examine them.
The headline is a letter, with a slightly smaller section in the upper left corner reviewing Suzuki Jirokichi's challenge to Kid to steal something, while below is Kid's response:
I accept your invitation.
The decision has been made to take action this Saturday at 8 PM.
Please allow me to scout ahead the night before.
—Kaito Kid.
P.S.: I will walk there, as the name "Wonder of the Sea" suggests.
"Walk there? What do you mean? I remember that old man Suzuki put the gem in the spire at the very top of the museum. Does Kidd intend to walk there from mid-air?"
Startled, the bomber suddenly realized something was wrong and slammed the newspaper back onto the table: "Who wants to read about this lousy thief! A petty thief is actually taking the lead in the bombing case, what are those reporters doing?! Humph, I'll blow up all these newspaper offices sooner or later."
While cursing and swearing, the bomber was about to scroll past the headline to browse the news. But just then, he noticed that a message had been inserted in the lower right corner of the headline page.
At first glance, the word "explosion" caught my eye.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the newspaper and began to read.
Good news, the bombing is making headlines.
The bad news is that it wasn't him who planted the bomb; it was another bomber.
"..."
A deathly silence fell, then after a moment, the bomber gave a dismissive snort.
"It's not that I can't make headlines, it's just that I'm worried that making things too big before the official start will expose me prematurely and affect my final plans."
He comforted himself, "Anyway, from the time the bridge was blown up until now, my purpose has only been to test the bomb. As for making headlines, it doesn't matter whether I make the headlines or not, I don't care—after all, my headlines aren't here now, but in the near future."
He imagined the sensation he would cause when he carried out his plan, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, his gloomy mood improving somewhat.
In this good mood, he sipped the newspaper and turned to page 2.
Sure enough, this page contained detailed information about the series of bombings mentioned in the headline—if Kidd hadn't suddenly sent that pre-announcement letter, this news would probably have been the original headline.
He was about to take a closer look to see how his peers managed to get onto the front page. However, at first glance, the bomber spotted a familiar keyword—"dump."
Bomber: "..."
If I remember correctly, not long ago, he seized an opportunity and, taking advantage of a hairdresser murder case involving a clothes hanger, stuffed bombs into various garbage bags, preparing to give the police a surprise... Could this guy who made the headlines be copying him?
With a hint of murderous intent, the bomber began to read carefully from the beginning.
Upon seeing this, a look of astonishment crossed his face, which was quickly followed by anger and rage, and a murderous aura erupted from him!
—This news report not only covered yesterday's series of bombings, but also brought up the recent case of the hairdresser with a clothes hanger and made a comparison!
