"Is it because of what makes the prisoner angry, so he refuses to tell where he is hiding?" Officer Otaki's first reaction when he saw this prompt was this.

"Don't be stupid, since he sent such a message, it means that there is indeed information in it, otherwise it will not be enough to detonate the bomb directly. Matsuda immediately refuted Otaki's words. How can I admit that I have scolded a prisoner at such a time?

"Yes. Otaki touched his head: "Why did that guy make things so complicated?"

"Probably because he wanted someone to stop him. Matsuda looked at Tatsuya Uesugi who was still trying to pitch in the middle of the court, "This place, there is something that can infect others." ”

"What's that?" Otaki was confused. I come to see it every year, why haven't I seen it?

Matsuda pointed his index finger at Dalong's forehead: "Youth, youth!"

Otaki didn't have any disgust with Matsuda's behavior of dealing with children, but remembered the sweat he had put in to come to this Koshien and his seniors, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned. The feeling of coming to pursue every year is indeed called youth.

Looking at Matsuda, who was walking away, Otaki said to Hattori and Conan, "I'm also starting to think that Matsuda is right. In this land of youth and dreams, no one can really want to destroy it. ”

"Cut, what the hell, we're young people. Hattori said dissatisfiedly: "What are you two uncles doing with their youth." ”

At this time, Otaki's cell phone rang, and he made a gesture and ran outside to answer the phone.

"Hey. At this time, Matsuda came back and said to Hattori and Conan, "Didn't you notice? ”

No number!?Hattori and Conan looked at Matsuda together, and were taken outside by him, in front of the floor plan of Koshien.

"That's not it, stands 17 and 22 are not marked. Matsuda pointed to it: "The first blank space should be one of the two stands." ”

"I see. Hattori and Conan were thinking about which stand it was, when Otaki appeared behind them: "I inquired clearly, the company that exploded is called Takano Transport, and during the spring trials, there was a high school pitcher named Mitsuhiro Shima who was hit by this company's truck because he was training too hard and walked unsteadily, and he died after rescue efforts, and the child's father is now missing." ”

Matsuda, who believed that the bomber was the child's father, seemed to see the figure sweating on the field for his younger brother through the walls of Koshien.

Two years ago, Kazuya Amisugi, a star pitcher with hope, died in a car accident because he saved people, and his brother Tatsuya Uesugi struggled for two years to finally stand on the stage of Koshien and fulfill his brother's last wish. Two years later, Mitsuhiro Shima, who was also a star pitcher, died in a car accident, did his father choose to bury this stage with his own hands to accompany his son?

It's not fair, it's not fair to Tatsuya Uesugi, to all the children who are dreaming of Koshien with their dreams, to Kazuya Uesugi and Mitsuhiro Shima, who died without fulfilling their wishes, or even to the father who chose to commit a crime because of this pain.

No matter what, I'm going to stop this tragedy from happening. Matsuda put away his lazy disguise, turned his head and asked Hattori, "If the first blank represents the No. 17 and No. 22 stands, then the second blank refers to the blank space of the player's ball number." Is there a player with a ball number, or is there a spot for the bench?"

"How could there be that kind of special seat. Hattori thought for a moment, "But if you talk about blank balls, it's a permanent empty number!"

Before Hattori could explain what a permanent empty number was, there was an earth-shattering cheer from the stadium, piercing through the walls and into their ears.

Conan's face suddenly became ugly, and he took off the headphones that listened to the live broadcast: "Just now, when the two were out, Mingqing's pitcher dared to use sacrifice to play short, and he stole the base successfully, and now Mingqing has surpassed Gangnan 2:1." ”

"Ha, you're really capable. Matsuda's face turned bitter. Such a situation can be considered a classic at any time, let alone the final of Koshien.

Hattori couldn't be surprised: "I said, this is already the last game, right?"

"yes, that means we're going to find the prisoner before the capable pitcher gets three more guys out. Conan's face was not good. Time is too short.

As soon as Hattori heard this girl, he ran: "I know where he is!"

Conan Matsuda and Otaki could only follow him closely.

"Speaking of permanent empty numbers, between gates 21 and 23 is the exhibition room of the Hanshin Tigers baseball team, which is home to Koshien, and inside is a museum that houses the permanent empty numbers of those teams. Hattori explained as he ran. In this way, it is clear that the two empty numbers plus 13 mean that others are waiting for them in the 13th row of seats in the 22nd stand.

That prisoner really knows Koshien quite well. Matsuda thought as he ran. If it was just to destroy it, I wouldn't know Koshien like this. It doesn't matter anymore whether the father is a fan and the son plays baseball, or the son plays baseball. The key is that both father and son, who are bound by baseball, should have an inseparable affection for Koshien.

Instead of destroying Koshien, do you want to take Koshien with you to see your son when you commit suicide?

When Matsuda ran from Gate 22 to the stands, his face was even more ugly.

In the last half of Ming Qing vs. Konan, two people were out, there were people on second and third base, and it was Konan who was about to play was Shigeo Nagashima, a well-known high school student in Japan.

If Tatsu Uesugi also strikes out Shigeo Nagashima, then Ming Qing wins, and if Nagashima hits Shigeo, then the two teams will tie and enter the playoff; If it is a home run, Konan will directly win the game by two points.

The whole audience was eagerly discussing. The buzzing sound pressed Matsuda's nerves, making him feel like he would grab the remote control and press it if the explosive man appeared in front of him now. Then the world was quiet all at once.

Yes, I will escort it. In the face of the No. 1 high school student in Japan, and there is no one on first base, who will choose to escort him to first base, right? This is also the most likely tactic after the audience discussed.

"Good shot!" the referee's loud voice echoed throughout the audience.

It's too messy!

Ming Qing's leading pitcher actually chose to use a straight ball to decide the winner at the most critical time of the decisive battle! This will be the most exciting final in Koshien, and there is no one. The audience sat up straight, craned their necks and watched these two young people who had blocked everything wantonly sway their youth.

Is it right, is it wrong, will you regret losing? Tatsuya Uesugi looked at the ball in his hand, then at his teammates, and resolutely threw the second ball.

"Bad ball!"

"Bad ball!"

"Good shot!"

Just ~~~ can't watch it, it's really annoying! Every time the referee shouted, Matsuda couldn't help but turn his head to look at the situation on the field, but every time he stopped. Together with Conan, they searched the 22nd stand.

Didn't you say yes to the 13th row of seats? None of them looked like bombers!

At this time, the baseball fell steadily into the hands of Meiqing catcher Kotaro Matsudaira. Tatsuya Uesugi and Shigeo Nagashima stared at each other, waiting for the referee's verdict.

Is it going to be over? Matsuda couldn't help but look at the arena with the audience. The atmosphere is afraid to come out, waiting for the results to come out.

"Bad ball!"

One point difference, in the last half, two good and three bad, two out, there are people on second and third base, how exciting this is! The people in the audience who want to go to the toilet are holding their stomachs and looking at the two young people in the field anxiously.

"Ding!", and finally when Tatsuya Uesugi threw the sixth ball, Shigeo Nagashima knocked the baseball away. Still flying far high.

A home run? Mingqing's outfielder held his gloves weakly, but the high-flying baseball was so far away. The audience's eyes also followed the baseball across a parabola. Shima Mitsuhiro's father had also reached out and was ready to detonate the bomb the moment the referee announced.

"Throw-in!"

The referee's decision made the players who were about to make a celebration move on the bench next to Gangnan suddenly froze.

It's really a throw-in!

"Out of bounds!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Out of bounds!"

The two seemed to be on the same page, and they were in this rough hand-to-hand battle, straight to the bottom.

"Stupid, why are you so desperate!" Seeing such a scene, Shima Mitsuhiro's father seemed to say to himself in disbelief: "It's just baseball!"

"yes, it's just baseball. Matsuda flashed out from behind him, his left hand on his shoulder, and his left leg on his calf. If he makes any unusual moves, he can be subdued in an instant.

"Isn't that a feeling you've forgotten?Or have you never loved baseball?" Matsuda looked into his eyes and said firmly, "How could a person who really loves baseball want to destroy Koshien?

"Damn!" Matsuda's left hand could be felt on his shoulder, and five fingers pressed against his shoulder like steel bar: "You won't understand how I feel! I hate baseball! I hate this place!"

"Maybe I won't understand, but someone will understand your feelings. Haruka Matsuda pointed to Tatsuya Uesugi on the field: "Two years ago, his younger brother was the most favored pitcher, and it was also before Koshien started, also because of a car accident. And two years later, he took the third-rate team to the Koshien finals. How did you have the courage to stand in front of such a child? Just because you give up on the world doesn't mean that others should give up too. ”

Have you reached your limit? Tatsuya Uesugi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Even if I choose the tactics of escort now, I don't have the strength to face the next opponent. Take a look at your teammates. Was it my willfulness that caused them to miss out on the championship?

Either way, this is the last ball. Tatsuya Uesugi looked up at the sky. Kazuya, bless me in heaven.

With the last throw with all his might, even the hat was thrown out.

Shigeo Nagashima, who is almost the limit, also swung the stick with all his strength, but the moment he swung the stick, he felt that he was slow.

"Good shot!"

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the whole Koshien was boiling, and the frenzied cheers of the 53,000 spectators overshadowed everything.

Mingqing's players rushed to Tatsuya Uesugi excitedly.

Tatsu Uesugi also saw a man in the audience in the gap surrounded by his teammates, and a man waved at him with a faint smile. is completely different from the audience around him who is venting his emotions, and the man who makes him freeze at a glance.

Tatsuya Uesugi, who was knocked to the ground by his teammates, also looked at the blue sky. Who is it? Slowly closing his eyes, he felt that he could sleep for three days and three nights now.

Cut, whatever.
