Chapter 13: Extortion, Revenge, and Outright Crime?

The Dusk Police Department had put all the money into the passage at the entrance of the 18th District, and now they were just waiting for the prisoners to enter through here. Matsuda kissed me and Sato, and from time to time swept through the passage.

"Matsuda, what's the trouble?" Sato noticed Matsuda's anxiety, and from time to time there was a look of impatience in his eyes.

"Well, I don't know what to do. Matsuda rubbed his eyebrows and relaxed: "Do you think the purpose of the prisoner is really money?" Alas, Sato actually saw my impetuousness, is there something wrong? This uncomfortable feeling always lingers in my heart.

Speaking of which, I vaguely remember that Conan once encountered an incident where the prisoner's target was a certain player, could it be this incident? The purpose of the prisoner's extortion was just a trick to confuse the police, and his real purpose was to shoot a certain athlete on the court? Is that the Akagi hero?

Could it be him? Why is he so irritated now? Matsuda doesn't know why this is the case. At this time, Sato poked Matsuda: "Someone went in, the guy in the coat." He was still wearing a mask and sunglasses, and his face was not visible at all. ”

"That person?" Matsuda didn't even open his eyes, still looking down and rubbing his eyebrows: "He's the prisoner's accomplice, and I've seen him pass by here several times just now." By the way, tell the police department that you can't arrest him here. ”

"What are you doing?" Sato asked strangely, "There is no one in this passage now, as long as you catch him and take him to a place where no one is there before the end of the first half, you can interrogate him slowly." ”

"Do you know how to contact the prisoners? Do you know the exact number of prisoners?" Matsuda began to ask continuously, "If their contact time is set at the end of the first half, even if this accomplice is caught, the prisoner will not be found." ”

"So what do you mean by not doing anything?" Sato asked suspiciously, "Do you just let the prisoner succeed?"

"Of course not, send someone to follow him. Matsuda raised his head: "This person is a little dangerous, I have been paying attention to him for a long time." If you want those uncles to go, they have a very small chance of losing because they are experienced. ”

"As long as we find out a person's identity, then we can't let us pinch and pinch it?" Matsuda said casually: "The problem now is to stabilize them and not let them mess around." My only concern is that the prisoner won't stop his movements even after taking the money. ”

"You mean, he's going to keep asking for more cash?" Sato muttered, "Is he going to be that crazy?"

"Who knows. Matsuda didn't think so. The accomplice mask man has a tough body, although he has not received professional training, but he should have a long time to work out. Is it for the sake of planning here? They have been preparing for a long time? So, he, the person who took the money, will also arrange the retreat route? I hope I don't lose that guy, this is a very important line.

"Miwako, if something goes wrong this time, then the police department will be very sad. "The prisoner who had taken the money had already left, and he had left the place in a bright light surrounded by their group of policemen, Matsuda asked as he waited for news from the prisoner.

"It's just that the loss of money is okay, if an innocent citizen dies in this incident, I'm afraid that Matsumoto Governor will not be able to save the police department. Sato, as a reserve cadre in the first lesson, is more aware of the bad situation in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the media hype has made the public begin to doubt the entire Metropolitan Police Department.

Has it come to this point? Matsuda knew that there was absolutely no room for error this time.

If the prisoner who is still in the arena will immediately breach the contract as soon as the money is withdrawn, then this time the matter will be a big deal. Twilight's heart hangs in the air. Now is a time when the Metropolitan Police Department urgently needs to establish its prestige, and there must be no vicious incidents.

At this time, Kaneko, the editor of Nikuri TV, rang again.

Is it a prisoner?, Twilight motioned for Kaneko to answer the phone and gestured at the same time. Tell the teams to keep an eye on their goals and find out who is using their phones.

"50 million has been received, thank you for the kindness of the daily sales TV station. The prisoner's voice was full of pride: "I should have resigned, but, Editor Jinzi, you, did you call the police?"

"What?" Kaneko froze, looking at Twilight.

"There is no need to rush to deny it. The prisoner said, "I can see it clearly, the men smoking in the front stand passage, the women sitting in the second row reading the newspaper in the middle of the middle, do you want me to talk about it?"

Matsuda reached out and pulled Sato's headphones and stuffed them into his ears, quietly listening to the civilian clothes counted by the prisoners, and from time to time he looked up and searched for the colleagues who were pointed out by the prisoners. The prisoners stopped, and after all the colleagues in the grandstand were called out, the prisoners stopped this count. Is it that he can only find out what is in the stands or does he think it is enough to just name the stands?

"Jinzi, since you first broke the agreement to find the police for help, then I don't have to abide by the agreement between us. The prisoner's voice smelled of cruelty: "Now, let me kill just someone." ”

"Stop, please stop!" said Kaneko in a panic, "Please, don't shoot." ”

"Hmph, since you've begged me so much, I'll give you a chance to make amends. The smugness and complacency made the prisoner's voice louder: "First of all, let all the police leave, if there is another one then I will shoot." Secondly, those police must be following my companions, let them evacuate, if I get the news of my companions and the police are following, then I won't give you another chance. ”

"I know that I will definitely do technetium for these two points," Jin Zi hurriedly agreed. He only needs to be responsible for informing, and whether he does it or not is a matter for the police.

"In the end, I want you to sell the TV station for a ransom, I think it's one billion yuan. Now the prisoner opened his mouth: "It's good to be my part, after all, it's very sad to stay here and watch you policemen." Before the game is over, the billion dollars I want are ready to be put in the same place, and if I don't do it, I'll be shot. ”

Is there only one prisoner left? Matsuda tugged on the string of the earphone and brought Mai close to his mouth: "Police Department, the people who have been removed from the front stands, draw one to our side." ”

"What? Matsuda, what are you going to do?" Twilight was surprised at Matsuda's audacity, "Now is not the time to provoke the prisoners. ”

"What we need now is more leads. Matsuda retorted: "Fifty million has been sent out, and the only thing we have to do is to find the prisoner and catch him." You don't want any cat or dog to run into the Metropolitan Police Department in the future and say that my companion has a gun, and if you don't give me 50 million, my companion will shoot everywhere in the street, right?"

"Matsuda, the prisoner just hung up the phone, is it okay not to do what he said?" Of course, Twilight knew that the prisoner couldn't slip away this time, "He found out the people we scattered, and if we provoke him now, it is likely that he will hurt the innocent." ”

"To be exact, he only looks for people in the front stands. Matsuda's voice was calm, and he exuded a strong confidence when he spoke: "What are the chances of a person who has just earned a huge sum of 50 million yuan for nothing? ”

"And that's our chance to get more information. Matsuda gushed and persuaded Twilight: "Now we have to determine whether he can find all the police officers in the arena, or only the front stands." The only thing we can do now is to take it step by step and find out his flaws step by step. Instead of worrying about whether we will irritate him, the police department, it is better to worry about whether he will keep the agreement. ”

"You mean he's in the mood to make a big deal out of it?"

"Who can prepare a billion dollars in 45 minutes? Especially if 50 million has only been raised. Matsuda affirmed, "The prisoner must be the one who has a grudge against the Japanese sales station, and now he is just playing with us as food in his mouth." ”

"Do you have a plan? Matsuda. Twilight groaned.

"No, there is only one step at a time. Matsuda thought about it: "The video recorder of the Japanese sales TV station should be able to capture the image of that accomplice, and I will go out and join you and study the videotape." All that's left is to wait for the message from the person who is being followed, and if their address can be found, then everything will be easy. ”

In fact, it is impossible to determine how many prisoners there are, and if it is clear that there are only two, the arrest of the one who is following should ask something. Matsuda is out of the arena, Kaneko they have the tape ready, and the anxious Twilight they have already looked.

"Did you find anything?" Matsuda walked over to Twilight, looked at the full screen and asked, "It's very unlikely, but it's possible that the accomplice who will be photographed will connect with him." ”

"No, not yet. Twilight kept staring at the screen, "Matsuda, are you telling the truth?

Perhaps, his purpose was not just money. Matsuda corrects Twilight's mistake: "Money is their first purpose, maybe my reasoning is wrong, the purpose of the prisoner is not revenge, but to disturb our vision, so as to achieve the perfect crime." ”

"A perfect crime?" Twilight glanced at Matsuda, "Is that a complete crime, it seems that this time the prisoner has a big heart." ”

"That's right, we're being underestimated. Matsuda smiled: "As a return gift that was underestimated, it won't let him spend the 50 million he just got so at ease." ”
