Chapter 160: The first notice after 3 years, the beginning of the 1200 million hostage incident
The sudden explosion stunned everyone present.
In just a moment, Shiratori Renzaburo's car was mercilessly engulfed by the raging flames, and thick smoke billowed up like a tumbling evil dragon.
"Yuya!" Miyano Shiho's face turned pale as paper in an instant and she rushed out without hesitation.
Conan, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru also reacted and followed closely.
A few people went around to the other side of the car and were shocked to see Shiratori Renzaburo pressing Youya under him, protecting him tightly with his body. His back was already stained with blood and was pierced with a large number of explosion fragments.
"Shiratori Police Department!"
"Yuya!"
"I'm fine." Youye shook his head, which was buzzing from the explosion, and struggled to push away Shiratori Renzaburo, shouting anxiously, "Brother Shiratori, how are you?"
Shiratori Renzaburo struggled to open his eyes. Although his words were a little blurry and difficult to hear clearly, Youya still understood what he meant: "It's okay, I don't think I'll die."
Just when Youya threw him down, he felt a strong sense of crisis, and subconsciously turned over to protect Youya under him. Then there was a deafening explosion.
"Mio, call an ambulance quickly." Yuya looked at Miyano Shiho and said anxiously.
Miyano Shiho gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said lightly: "It has been called."
Yuya was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled with relief: "That's good, we seem to have a good understanding?"
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips and said in a cold voice: "Officer Sato, Officer Takagi, please move them to a safe place immediately. The burning car is prone to secondary explosions."
···
Yuya leaned against the corner, quietly watching Miyano Shiho who kept checking his wounds, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a moment, Miyano Shiho breathed a sigh of relief: "No serious wounds or subcutaneous bleeding were found. It should be just some superficial injuries. But we still have to go to the hospital for a check-up later, just in case there is any damage to the internal organs."
"I'm fine," Yuya smiled, "I can feel it in my own body."
Miyano Shiho stared into Yuya's eyes sharply without saying a word.
Facing such a piercing gaze, You couldn't help but get a little flustered, and turned his head away awkwardly and said, "I know..."
Seeing this, Miyano Shiho nodded with satisfaction.
"Why did you rush out just now?" Miyano Shiho asked, almost scaring her to death, and there was still a hint of fear in her voice.
God knows how scared she was when she saw the explosion that this man would disappear into his own world.
Youya was silent for a moment and said, "It's just a sudden premonition. I feel that if Brother Shiratori gets on the car, his life will be in danger."
At this time, Sato Miwako walked over with a grim face, holding a piece of paper tightly in her hand.
"Yuya-kun, this was found in Inspector Shiratori's car, take a look." She said in a low voice.
Yuya was stunned for a moment, then took the paper and took a look. It wasn't burned too badly, so the general content was still recognizable, so he read it word by word:
“I’m a major league hitter
The overtime is about to begin
The competition will officially start at noon tomorrow and end at 3 pm
Even if you find someone to stop me, it's just a waste of effort
I will eventually win.
If you want to stop this game, just come to me.
Wait till you policemen come stepping on the bloodstained base
I will be waiting for you at the end of the day at the steel plate."
"What is this?!" Yuya's pupils suddenly constricted and he looked at Sato Miwako in shock.
Sato Miwako nodded affirmatively, her face extremely serious: "It must be that person, he has made a move again."
Youya was a little dazed. The timeline of the scientific world was chaotic and complicated. He had long lost track of the passage of time. It turned out that three years had passed since then?
"What did you say? Inspector Shiratori's car was bombed, and he was almost involved?" Inspector Megure received a call from Sato Miwako and slammed the table in shock, "How is he now?"
"The injury is not serious, and Yuya stopped him in time from getting on the car, otherwise..." Sato Miwako briefly recounted what happened, and then repeated the words on the paper.
Inspector Megure said seriously, "Just now, a document with the same content as what you read was faxed to all police substations within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department through an unknown number, causing an uproar."
"Everyone is worried that this might be the work of the same bomber who did it seven years ago and three years ago."
Miwako Sato said coldly, "There is no doubt that this was done by the same person. Please tell Officer Matsumoto immediately that the criminal is definitely the guy from three years ago. The police only released the first half of the notice at the time. Apart from that person, it is impossible for anyone to write such similar and mysterious words."
···
The Metropolitan Police Department acted quickly and all police stations received instructions.
A large number of patrol cars were driving on the road. When they saw a vehicle parked on the roadside, they would get out to check, hoping to discover the hidden bomb as soon as possible.
After finishing her report, Miwako Sato drove on the road to investigate.
"Hey, why is that bomb criminal targeting the police so much?" Conan's voice suddenly sounded in the back seat.
Miwako Sato turned around in surprise and looked at him: "Conan? When did you get on the car?" Why does this little brat always come up secretly?
Conan looked stern and urged, "Tell me quickly." Why did Youya look so unhappy when he saw the notice letter?
Miwako Sato was silent for a moment, and then began to tell the story.
“Seven years ago, there was a bombing involving two perpetrators, who had planted the bomb in an apartment building in the city.
They demanded 1 billion dollars and if anyone in the apartment got out, they would detonate the bomb.
Although one of them was successfully removed, the other one caused some trouble. The police had no choice but to agree to the criminal's request.
After receiving the message, the criminal used a remote control to stop the bomb timer.
But 30 minutes later, the criminal suddenly called and asked why the bomb timer was still ticking?
The criminal probably had a misunderstanding after seeing the rebroadcast of the case on TV.
The police thought this was a good opportunity to catch the criminal, so they adopted a delaying tactic and successfully locked onto his location and captured him.
However, the fleeing prisoner was hit and killed by a truck while crossing the road."
Conan was a little puzzled: "But how did the police know there was a second criminal?"
Seven years ago, he was still in elementary school and did not have a very deep impression of this case.
Miwako Sato continued, "That's because the bomb timer that had stopped started counting down again. There was no time to move, and the bomb exploded quickly."
"Several police officers from the bomb squad were killed on the spot."
"Although the prisoner's residence was quickly found, the other prisoner was not found, and the neighbors only knew that there were two people living there."
"I'm afraid it was another criminal who thought the police deliberately spread false news on TV to deceive his companions and killed him."
Conan was silent.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "So, what is the relationship between Brother Yuye and these two criminals? Or, what is his relationship with the bombing case?"
Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "That was three years ago..."
