Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Ferris Wheel Disaster (Part 2)
There are two types of police vehicles on the island: secret mission police cars and special police cars. Special police cars are painted with specific police paint and lettering in accordance with regulations, making them recognizable at a glance. Secret mission police cars, also known as undercover police cars, look no different from ordinary private cars without any modifications or paint. They are generally used to perform tasks that police do not want to be noticed. Only when they are in a hurry or chasing suspects and fugitives will they temporarily add police lights to show their identity.
What was rushing towards the Ferris wheel at this moment was obviously a row of undercover police cars, and there was not a single special car with the Metropolitan Police Department livery.
This is very intriguing.
Saionji Tamon glanced at Atobe Keigo who was talking on the phone with Sonoko, took two steps back calmly, took out his cell phone in an unnoticed corner, and typed and sent an email with his fingers at a rapid speed.
Saionji: [Did anything unusual happen near the Touto Aquarium and the Tokyo Bay Bridge today and last night? I saw sniper marks on the bridge, and there are a lot of police cars at the aquarium now, but they don't seem to be from the Metropolitan Police Department.]
Someone was probably always in front of their electronic device and replied in less than a few seconds.
Fushimi: [Tokyo Bay Bridge? You've asked the right person. There was a burglary at the National Police Agency building last night. They say some confidential information was stolen. The culprit hasn't been apprehended. They say he drove onto the Tokyo Bay Bridge and jumped out of his car to escape.]
Yuyin blinked as she looked at the content of the message. Just as she was about to ask for more specific information, she received a second supplement.
Fushimi: [Regarding the Touto Aquarium... I checked online and it seems the police are arresting a fugitive there today. Yes, the one who stole confidential information last night.]
Yuyin raised an eyebrow. Fushimi's so-called online investigation, besides using Scepter 4's higher level of authority, was essentially hacking. She closed her phone and put it back, thinking: It seems the criminal is in the aquarium, maybe even still there...
She turned sideways and looked at the Beilun entrance which had just been cleared.
Right here at the Ferris wheel.
At this moment, Atobe Keigo had finished talking to Sonoko and turned back to Tamane, waving, "Tamane, let's go. I've already made an appointment with Suzuki to get on the Ferris wheel, the North Wheel."
After denouncing Suzuki Sonoko, he was still able to continue with his confession plan, which made Atobe in a good mood, with a bright smile visible to the naked eye on his face.
Seeing his happy look, Yuyin felt very reluctant, but she had to harden her heart and interrupt him: "Keigo, wait a minute." She quickly grabbed Atobe's hand, turned around and walked quickly out of the queue, explaining, "I just received news that there might be danger at the aquarium. We need to move immediately."
After taking a few steps, Atobe was still confused and anxious. After listening to Yuyin's explanation, he suddenly understood and asked, "Are they those people from last time? What do you need me to do?"
Yuyin just remembered that because the matter involved confidentiality, she had not yet explained to Jibe that Lin Chengren and others were subsequently arrested and handed over to the Special Branch. No wonder he thought that there were still people in the gang at large.
She shook her head and said, "They're not the same kidnappers from last time, and they're not targeting us. We're probably just innocent bystanders."
Hearing that it was someone else's fault and had nothing to do with him, Atobe's face looked a little strange for a moment. He had finally planned a confession, but it was aborted before it even began due to external factors. He felt a little bad, but he knew what was important and knew that this was not the time to be willful and make demands. He nodded and changed the subject neatly, asking, "So what do we do next?"
The two of them were walking against the crowd and were about to walk quickly past the queue when a few men in suits came from the side. Yuyin glanced at them and saw a young woman surrounded by several men. Although it was just a glance, Yuyin noticed that this woman dressed as a white-collar worker was not only beautiful, but also had eyes of a rare different color. She immediately remembered the person mentioned by the waiter at the dart stall before.
The positions of the several people were even more particular. It was obvious that they were escorting and guarding a suspect, not to mention the strong police temperament of the men in suits.
Yuyin understood. This seemed to be the suspect Fushimi had mentioned, and the police who had come to arrest her. But if they had already apprehended him, why were they taking him to the Ferris wheel? Could it be that the suspect had hidden the lost confidential information on the Ferris wheel?
Yuyin thought about it and shook her head. It shouldn't be like that. If that was the case, the police should have stopped the Ferris wheel from running completely and sent a large number of people to search it instead of just sending a few people.
It seemed the situation was much more complicated than she had expected.
These thoughts only flashed through her mind before Yuyin replied to Atobe, "I'll take you to a safer place first and then see what the situation is."
The people who dare to steal public security secrets or the organization behind them must be very powerful. Would such a gang allow their own people to fall into the hands of the public security and do nothing?
impossible.
With just a quick glance, Yuyin guessed the public security arrangement. She thought that a few people took the woman onto the Ferris wheel to achieve their goal, while the main force stayed under and near the Ferris wheel, waiting to defend against enemies who came to rob her.
I think from the perspective of the police, it is safe to be on the Ferris wheel, and the danger mainly comes from outside the Ferris wheel and after getting off the Ferris wheel.
But in Yuyin's opinion, such a guess is too narrow. Not to mention others, there are at least three ways for her to snatch the woman or information on the Ferris wheel. Yuyin doesn't believe that others can't do it, so the public security will definitely pay a heavy price for their underestimation of the enemy.
And she had to get Atobe to a safe place before they started making trouble.

Interestingly, Yuyin was behind the police and saw Conan chasing after him and shouting "Wait" but was a step too slow. She couldn't help but sigh that this famous detective had such a wide range of business that he even had to interfere when the police were catching suspects.
However, she took Atobe away earlier, and she noticed Conan, but he didn't see her.
The two held hands and went against the flow of people all the way to the parking lot outside the aquarium. There were very few people here at this time, and the Atobe family's special car had been waiting here.
Behind them is the brightly lit amusement park. The highlight of the park at night, the water-colored light show, has begun. Accompanied by music, colorful lights are reflected in the sky above the park, like a rainbow.
Atobe raised his head and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but mourn for three seconds for his distant confession. If Yuyin hadn't said that there was an imminent threat, even in a dimly lit place like a parking lot, Atobe would have had a vague urge to confess at all costs.
Then, quite suddenly, everything in front of my eyes became pitch black.
All the lights in the amusement park area, which was originally brightly lit, were suddenly extinguished, leaving only the lights at the aquarium, which was running on a separate power supply.
"Is there a power outage?" Atobe asked in confusion.
"It must be a man-made power outage. The other party has started to take action." Yuyin tilted her head and listened carefully. The air flow in the wind brought her new news. She felt something approaching from the distant sky.
A shikigami with the ability to fly? No, the ones dispatched here are the public security, and they should be enemies without special abilities. So the only thing that can approach the Ferris wheel from the air is a helicopter.
In recent days, Yuyin has also taken Atobe's private plane several times and is not unfamiliar with it, but for an organization that would run to the National Police Agency building to steal secrets, would it be possible that it would only use an ordinary private helicopter?
"Keigo, you stay here first. If anything goes wrong, have the driver drive you away."
Yuyin thought about it and was still worried, so she wanted to go back and check. There were a large number of tourists in the park, and if the other party used highly lethal weapons, it would be difficult to completely avoid casualties.
"The jade amulet I gave you can protect against most damage. If you encounter an accident that you can't handle, immediately tear up the warning spell I gave you or call me."
Atobe nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety."
This is the advantage of having a good friend as your employer. If something happens, you can just tell her and she can take some time off to leave temporarily, instead of having to follow the protected person around all the time.
Yuyin reorganized the matter in her mind and made sure that this was not a ploy to divert her away from Atobe. She also took multiple measures to ensure Atobe's safety, ensuring that he would not be completely unable to protect himself while she was away.

Yuyin turned around and ran quickly towards the Ferris wheel.
However, no matter how fast she ran, she was still unable to catch up. Before she reached her destination, she heard a loud commotion over there.
A hovering object, suspected to be an armed helicopter, launched a fierce fire attack on the middle part of the Ferris wheel. In the pitch-black night sky, one could see bursts of sparks, which were the light caused by the friction of bullets and the explosion of gunpowder. Buildings and metal fragments were constantly shot down from above and hit the ground. The people who were originally queuing below could not help but shout in fear and fled in all directions.
Not good! Those guys in the helicopter are crazy!
Yuyin immediately accelerated, trying to avoid the crowd rushing out to escape, while thinking of a solution.
She has the means to directly attack helicopters in mid-air, but the park is full of people. If the helicopter falls vertically and causes an explosion, the casualties will not be much less than the collapse of the Ferris wheel.
Yuyin was hesitant to use the talisman, clutching it in her hand but not daring to use it freely. She couldn't help but curse the public security officers in her heart for being useless. They knew the enemy was acting recklessly, but they didn't even call for air support when they came to the Ferris wheel to carry out the mission. Now, they were being strangled in the vital area, unable to fight back at all. If they weren't useless, who was?
Now she could only wait until the surrounding tourists were evacuated, and then she would find a way to shoot down the helicopter in an empty place.
However, since the power supply in the park was cut off, there was only light at the aquarium in the darkness, which created a great obstacle for the tourists here to escape. Yuyin even suspected that a stampede might have occurred.
She thought for a moment, took out another talisman, and chanted a spell with her fingers, then summoned a burst of light, letting them fall on the extinguished street lights to guide people on the way again.
But she did not light up the area near the Ferris wheel. Firstly, she wanted to keep her identity secret, and secondly, she was worried that the group of people on the helicopter would kill people in a frenzied manner to keep the secret, and would shoot at anyone who saw them.
The light spots merged into the street lights, as if they were lit up again. The people who were fleeing did not notice the difference and thought that the emergency power had been restored. They ran faster while feeling grateful and following the clear road conditions.
