Chapter 162 Even a 1 in risk is not acceptable

"Inspector Megure." Yuya walked to Inspector Megure and whispered.

"What's wrong, Brother Kamiya?" Inspector Megure subconsciously lowered his voice.

Conan never imagined that Yuya had actually been called "brother" earlier than him.

Yuya said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the bomber is nearby, otherwise the explosion would not have occurred when Cable Car No. 72 happened to move to the highest point, completely destroying the control room."

Inspector Megure looked serious and had a headache: "But there are too many people here and there is no way to identify the criminal. If we alert the enemy..."

Youye remained silent. There was nothing he could do in this situation. If he searched for the criminal in a high-profile manner, it would instead irritate the other party and make him detonate the bomb remotely in advance. Then there would be no hope at all.

I hope Jinpei Matsuda can defuse the bomb successfully.

"Inspector Megure, something bad has happened!" Sato Miwako shouted anxiously.

"The criminal left a note on the bomb, saying that the location of the next bomb would be displayed three seconds before the bomb exploded."

"What did you say?"

"Where's Matsuda?"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Youya was so anxious that he gritted his teeth. He didn't remember this plot at all. Damn it!

"Inspector, has the bomb in the hospital not been found yet?"

Inspector Megure looked grim and shook his head: "There are too many hospitals in Beika Town, and the police have limited manpower. If there is no specific location, there is no way to find it."

Yuya's face turned pale. He was completely controlled by the criminal! He subconsciously looked up at the cable car in the sky.

The sunlight was directly shining at this angle, and he had to squint to barely see a shadow of the cable car.

Yuya walked up to Miwako Sato and said, "Officer Sato, can you lend me your cell phone?"

Miwako Sato gritted her teeth and said, "He said his phone was about to run out of battery and he wanted to save some power to send messages, so he hung up."

Youye was silent for a moment, it was obvious that he didn't want anyone to disturb him.

"Please tell me your number." Youya said seriously.

Miwako Sato opened her mouth, but finally told Yuya the number.

Youya called directly, but was hung up immediately.

He called again and hung up again.

After calling for half a minute, the call was finally connected.

"Who is it? Are you annoying? I've hung up on you so many times?" Jinpei Matsuda's angry voice came from the phone.

"Officer Matsuda, this is Kamiya." Yuya said in a deep voice, "Don't use the excuse that your phone is out of battery to fool me. As a police officer, you must keep your communication open 24 hours a day. How could it be out of battery?"

Matsuda Jinpei was suddenly speechless. What was this kid doing being so smart?

Miwako Sato on the side was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had been fooled, and she was so angry that she squeezed her phone until it creaked.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Jinpei Matsuda sighed, his eyes fixed on the mercury column on the bomb.

He was not afraid that the bomb would kill him, but he was afraid that the bomb would explode prematurely due to the sudden shaking.

"The prisoner said that the hint will appear 3 seconds before the explosion, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, let me ask you a question first. Can you defuse the bomb in 1 second?"

"...Yes, yes, what do you want to do?"

Yuya took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you believe me, only two seconds of hints are enough for me to deduce the location of the bomb."

"..." Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a while, and finally said with a smile, "I believe you, but I'm sorry, I can't take risks with the people in the hospital, even if the risk is one in ten thousand."

"..." Yuya opened his mouth, not knowing what reason to use to persuade Matsuda Jinpei.

Just this one sentence blocked all his words.

"I know what you mean, but don't forget, I used to be a member of the demolition team, dealing with all kinds of bombs every day."

"When I embarked on this path, I was already prepared to sacrifice myself sooner or later."

"Okay, my phone is really out of battery this time. I'll hang up now."

Jinpei Matsuda hung up the phone, leaving only the busy tone echoing in Yuya's ears.

Yuya sniffed, trying to suppress the soreness in his eyes and raised his head.

It turns out that even if he knows roughly what the plot is about, things will not develop the way he wants.

"Finally, Officer Matsuda sent information about the bomb being installed at the Beika General Hospital to my cell phone at the last moment before the explosion."

After saying this, Sato Miwako fell silent and no longer spoke.

Conan didn't ask what happened to Officer Matsuda. I guess he died in the explosion?

Youye... He lowered his eyes and felt very uncomfortable. You must have been very powerless at that time, right?

Metropolitan Police Department

Yuya found Inspector Megure and asked him to take him to meet Kiyonaga Matsumoto, the management officer of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Manager Matsumoto, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you feeling lately?" Youya greeted him.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a long scar on his left eye, which makes him look quite fierce, but in fact he is a very upright, passionate and emotional policeman. He is also good at fighting and has extraordinary skills.

"Ah, it's Kamiya." Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face was serious, and he was obviously upset by the explosion warning. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yuya nodded seriously: "I have already cracked the code of the notice letter."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga excitedly slammed the table and stood up: "What? Are you telling the truth?"

Yuya nodded, took the fax from the table, and slowly explained.

"First, the first sentence of this preview letter hints at the correct solution to the code in the main story."

"What do you mean?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga leaned over and looked at the fax paper.

"I am a great professional baseball player. The word 'gangqiu gao da' means I am very good at playing baseball, and the word 'major leaguer' at the end refers to Major League Baseball, which means 'professional baseball player'."

"But this is Japan, why not use プロ野球玩家 (professional baseball player) instead of using English names? That's because it's hinting that we need to use English to crack the code, and the whole code is actually various baseball terms."

"In this way, we can conclude that the 'extended battle' in the third sentence is EXTRA in English, which means extra inning game."

"The last two sentences are very clear, referring to the time limits for the bombs to be detonated. The first one is at 12 noon tomorrow, and the second one is at 3 pm."

"The next sentence, '出のいいストッバーを意しても无駄だ'" means that even good bowlers are useless.

The word "outstanding pitcher" means an excellent pitcher. In baseball terms, an excellent pitcher often means a high self-responsibility rate. Self-responsibility rate also means defensive rate, both of which are baseball terms. In English, it is ERA, earned run average.

What if the excellent pitchers are not used? Of course, they are eliminated, that is, the ERA in EXTRA is removed, leaving XT.

The next sentence means that XT is reversed, that is, turned upside down, and TX is obtained. "

"TX?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga frowned slightly, "Is it the abbreviation of something?"

Yuya shook his head: "No, this is actually the same solution as three years ago, 'Comrade's Head'. If you combine TX, you can get the word '文'."

"And on the map, what is the building represented by text?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga reacted instantly: "School?!"
