Chapter 161: What did Youya do wrong?
Sato Miwako showed a look of nostalgia.
The year after the bombing, that is, six years ago, the General Administration suddenly received a fax with a big Arabic numeral '6' written on it, and there was no further follow-up.
Five years ago, I received another fax with '5' written on it.
Four years ago it was '4'.
Since nothing happened every time the faxes were sent, everyone thought it was a prank.
But there was only one person who didn't think so, and that was Jinpei Matsuda, who was suddenly transferred to the First Investigation Division three years ago.
"At first I thought he was transferred here because he made some mistake. Later I thought, maybe he was transferred here voluntarily just because of the bombing seven years ago?" Sato Miwako smiled self-deprecatingly.
"7 years ago?" Conan was stunned. He was still in elementary school at that time, so he had no impression of the case.
"And on November 3, three years ago, the Metropolitan Police Department received another fax, but this time the fax was no longer in Arabic numerals, but a notice letter."
We are the Knights of the Round Table
Stupid and cunning policemen, take note
At noon and 14: today
We will sacrifice our comrades' heads
As a firework to ignite the celebration
If you have the guts, come and stop us.
We will leave seat 72 vacant.
We look forward to welcoming you.”
Conan's eyes widened slightly: "Isn't this the same style as this preview letter?"
Sato Miwako nodded slightly: "That's right, that's why I said that this bombing was definitely committed by the same person three years ago."
Conan was silent for a moment: "What happened next?"
"later?"
Sato Miwako sighed.
As soon as Jinpei Matsuda heard the warning letter, he knew where the bomb was installed.
"At the same time, Yuya-kun, who was taking a statement at the Metropolitan Police Department, also guessed the location with him."
Conan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What? Yuya...brother is taking a statement at the Metropolitan Police Department? What did he do wrong?"
At the Beihua Hospital, Youya, who had just finished his check-up and was leaving, sneezed loudly.
Miyano Shiho asked with concern: "Are you catching a cold?"
Youya touched his nose and said, "No, I guess someone is thinking about me."
Miyano Shiho was silent for a moment, looked at him with contempt, then turned her face away and stopped talking.
Sato Miwako almost couldn't hold back her laughter and quickly explained, "Of course not, he was taking notes on the case he just solved."
Conan was a little surprised. How could he not know? So he asked, "What case?"
Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment: "Then I don't remember clearly. I didn't have much contact with him at that time. But it seems to be a murder case? It was solved by Yuya-kun.
He was only 14 years old at the time, and it seemed like he solved the case very easily, though of course, not as fast as it is now."
Conan was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? Yuya was helping the police solve cases when he was only 14 years old? How come he didn't know?
Conan thought about it carefully. What was he doing when he was 14 years old? He seemed to be obsessed with mystery novels and playing around with Mao Lilan and getting into trouble?
He immediately lowered his head in silence. No wonder he could never beat Youya. It turned out that this guy had already been ahead of him.
Of course Conan didn't know that at that time Yuya was taking on cases everywhere to get reward points.
However, at that time, Kudo Shinichi had not yet shown the physique of the god of death, so his aimless fraud was not very efficient.
In addition, he still had to go to school, so it was very hard for him to accumulate reward points. It was not like now, where he would definitely encounter a case whenever he went out with Conan.
It was mentioned in Chapter 17 that before Kudo Shinichi became Conan, Yuya always asked the police to conceal his existence after solving the case, so not many people knew that Yuya had been helping the police solve cases a long time ago, including Conan.
"Officer Sato, please continue telling us about the bombing." Conan said, holding his aching chest. This guy actually hid it from him for so long.
Miwako Sato nodded and continued: "But Yuya is even better than Officer Matsuda. He even deduced the location of another bomb on the spot..."
At that time, You also pointed to a line of words on the notice and said, "The prisoner wrote on the notice, 'The heads of comrades will be used as fireworks to light the celebration.' The Knights of the Round Table existed in medieval Europe. At that time, the knights' helmets were engraved with a cross pattern. The only building marked with a cross on the map is the hospital. He also wants to blow up the hospital!"
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Yuya in surprise. He originally looked down on a junior high school student who pretended to be a detective, but he had to admit that he now looked at Yuya with new eyes. He figured out the two locations where the bombs were installed just by seeing the notice letter.
The locations of the two bombs were known, and Inspector Megure immediately ordered his men to go to the scene in two groups.
However, the notice did not give any specific clues as to which hospital it was. Finding a bomb among so many hospitals is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yuya only remembered that it was a hospital in Beika Town, but there were countless hospitals of all sizes in Beika Town, and he had no idea which one it was.
In addition, the end of the notice said "We are waiting for you at seat 72", which was the only code that could be deciphered, which meant that the first bomb was on the Ferris wheel.
So they went to the amusement park in Beihu City first, while the others went to various hospitals to search secretly.
Just as they arrived, an explosion occurred in the control room of the Ferris wheel. Although the Ferris wheel was still rotating, it had lost control.
Amusement park staff are urgently helping tourists get off the Ferris wheel.
Cable car No. 72 had just moved to the platform at that time.
Jinpei Matsuda sat on the platform without hesitation, carrying his tool bag. Before leaving, he kicked Yuya, who wanted to follow him up.
Matsuda Jinpei was still wearing those flashy sunglasses. He gently waved his index and middle fingers at his forehead and said to Yuya with a grin, "Don't follow me, little brat. Bomb disposal is very dangerous."
"Matsuda!" Inspector Megure and others shouted anxiously from below.
"Don't worry, let's leave this matter to the experts." Jinpei Matsuda took off his sunglasses and revealed a smile that he thought was very handsome.
"What kind of expert?" Sato Miwako was furious. This policeman who had been slacking off since he was transferred here actually called himself an expert?
Inspector Megure explained: "In fact, Matsuda has been a member of the mobile group's explosive ordnance disposal team since last year."
Miwako Sato suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that the friend who died he mentioned is..."
Inspector Megure nodded: "It should be Officer Hagiwara from the same team who died in the bomb disposal process four years ago."
It was at this time that Miwako Sato learned the unknown inside story of the bombing seven years ago.
Just when Cable Car No. 72 reached the top, an explosion occurred again in the control room. The Ferris wheel completely lost power and stopped moving.
There were less than 6 minutes left before the explosion.
