Chapter 163 The director of the script has changed!
Yuya nodded, "Yes, one of the bombs was planted at the school!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga frowned, "But there are more than 400 schools in Tokyo. Where will the bomb be placed? We can't just evacuate everyone in the school. This will easily alert the criminals and cause them to explode the bomb prematurely. Can't we narrow the scope a little bit?"
Yuya raised his head, looked into Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes and said, "Officer, do you remember how you knew the exact location of the bomb that was planted in the hospital?"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga's expression suddenly turned ugly. "You mean, the exact location is on another bomb, and it will only be displayed a few seconds before the bomb explodes, just like it did back then?"
Yuya nodded heavily: "That's right, since we know that the criminal this time is the same person as three years ago, it is very likely that he used the same method. If we want to know which school it is, we can only wait for the final hint."
"Damn it!" Matsumoto Kiyonaga slammed the table hard, and the table creaked as if it could not bear the weight. "Is someone going to be sacrificed again this time? In that case, I will..."
Yuya's mouth curled up slightly: "Don't worry, administrator. Fortunately, he made a serious mistake this time."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga widened his eyes: "What do you mean?"
Yuya's lips curled up slightly: "Now it's winter vacation, most schools are closed, only the high school holding the national mock exam tomorrow will have students gathering, so..."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes lit up instantly: "You're right! This way, the number of schools that need to be searched will be greatly reduced. It will be enough to send all the police forces out."
"Inspector Megure, immediately send people to search for bombs in various high schools! Remember to act secretly and never let the criminals find out!"
"Yes!" Inspector Megure responded loudly.
Matsumoto Kiyoshi breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Yuya with admiration: "Yuya-kun, you did a great job!"
Yuya smiled faintly. He actually knew that the exact location of the second bomb was at Teitan High School, but the information about Teitan could only be known from the first bomb, and he had no way to explain it.
Narrowing the scope to the high school that hosts the national mock exam is the best conclusion deduced from the current information. The predicted time is tomorrow, and it will be more convenient to act at night, which will give the police enough time to find and defuse the bomb.
"Administrator, don't be too happy now. I haven't finished telling you the location of the other bomb."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and looked at Yuya expectantly: "Go on."
Yuya nodded.
"According to the characteristics of the notice three years ago, the first puzzle is about the location of the second bomb, so the second puzzle is the location of the first bomb. Let's take this as the premise for now."
"And the location of the first bomb is hidden in the last three sentences."
"The key word in the first sentence is 'blood', which means red; the key word in the second sentence is '登る', which means climbing; the third sentence, '钢のバッターボックス', is also a baseball term, meaning the batter's box of steel, and ボックス means box, so together it means steel box."
"The three sentences together are 'red, climbing, iron box', which means the red iron box is rising."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga frowned and said, "A red iron box? Do you mean a container or something like that?"
Yuya shook his head: "No, we know very well that the criminal's purpose is not money but revenge on the police, so the code for the first bomb must not be too difficult. It should be something that can be easily seen in Tokyo."
"Red, rising, iron box. If my reasoning is correct, the bomb is installed in the elevator of Tokyo Tower."
"I see! The Tokyo Tower is indeed red." Matsumoto Kiyonaga suddenly realized and slammed the table, "Megure, did you hear everything?"
Inspector Megure replied with a serious face: "I understand! I'll send someone to search right away!"
"Officer, I hope the police won't tell anyone that they have found the bomb. Let's go fishing and catch the criminal this time!"
"He must be at the site of the first bomb, waiting for the sky to explode with fireworks as gorgeous as those three years ago!"
···
After coming out of the Metropolitan Police Department, Yuya took out his cell phone and took a look. He found several missed calls and text messages, some of which were from Miyano Shiho, asking him where he had been.
The rest are all Conan, and we need to discuss the secret code with him.
Yuya called Miyano Shiho back and told her that he was fine, but he needed to investigate clues in the bombing case, so he couldn't go back for the time being, and asked her not to worry.
As for Conan...
Yuya raised his chin and looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker, and said secretly in his heart: I'm sorry, Conan, I have to solve this case alone.
···
The next day, it was time to send the notice letter.
Yuya came to the Tokyo Tower and saw Takagi Wataru, Conan and the three little brats of the Junior Detective League who came rushing over at the bottom of the tower.
Without alerting them, Yuya entered the tower alone.
In the elevator control room, Inspector Megure was found on standby.
"Inspector, what's going on?" Yuya asked.
Inspector Megure said solemnly, "Everything is ready. We have reduced the equivalent of the bomb, repeatedly confirmed the elevator's emergency landing system, and installed special protective devices on it to ensure that no accidents will occur."
Yuya nodded gently and turned to walk towards the elevator.
"Brother Kamiya, are you sure you want to go alone? It's too dangerous. We can..." Inspector Megure shouted from behind.
"Inspector, you should understand that this matter must be handled by me personally." Youye waved his hand and left without looking back.
In the two bombing cases seven years ago and three years ago, the remaining criminal was not caught, which shows that he is very cautious and it is impossible to find him in the vast crowd.
So we can only follow his script and catch his trace when he becomes complacent and careless.
Of course, his script is outdated and should be retired.
Now, it's director Kamiya's turn.
