Chapter 64: A Good Seedling [First Update]

In the huge department head's office, it was so quiet that it was audible for a while.

Even if Twilight Thirteen's head didn't turn around, at this moment, he could still think of what would happen after the conflict.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

No one knew exactly where the bomb had been planted by the prisoners, and the police had to check everything one by one just in case.

And this kind of carpet search is bound to take a lot of time.

Under such circumstances, the unease in the hearts of the population will undoubtedly be amplified over time.

Most importantly, this is only Katsumi Uehara's words, just his reasoning, and there is no strong evidence to support his argument.

If this is a joke played by the prisoner against the police, then the police will be in vain, and the already bad reputation will continue to be criticized by the media and the public.

Miwako Sato, who also understood this, raised her eyes and looked at Twilight Thirteen, who was thinking: "Police department ......"

"Uehara-kun, where are you now?"

"I've arrived at the hospital and I'm getting ready to contact the hospital's top management."

"I see. Sato, Takagi, Chiba, the three of you immediately lead the team with me to Rice Flower Central Hospital. Your task is to stabilize and evacuate the people who can be evacuated, by any means. ”

Twilight Thirteen straightened the orange round hat on top of his head, swept his solemn gaze over his three most trusted subordinates, and said in a deep voice, "I will bear all the consequences of the accident, understand?!" ”

"Understood!"

Sato and the others, who knew what was at stake, immediately saluted, immediately turned around and left the office, and began to gather their own police officers.

Twilight Thirteen's face sank like water, and while he was silently thinking about the two sets of plan ideas in his heart, there was also a reply from the bombing handling team-

"Twilight, what's the matter with me?"

"Harada, there is a suspected military-grade bomb in the Rice Flower Central Hospital, and my people have now gone over to contact the hospital's high-level management to evacuate the people."

"Rice Flower Central Hospital, understood, we'll be there later."

The phone hung up, and before Twilight Thirteen, who had his hands behind his back, picked up the thermos cup and had no time to drink his saliva, the bell rang again-

"Maori brother?"

"The Twilight Police Department, the prisoner and the kidnapped Sayuri Matsumoto are at the Rice Flower Central Hospital! The situation is urgent, I'm rushing over there now, you listen first-"

"Huh? Did you solve the puzzle too, Maori brother? ”

"Also?"

In the telephone booth not far downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency, Conan, who was holding a bow voice changer, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Someone in the police saw it?

"Ah, the information about the crime notice letter has been solved, and we are now going to the Rice Flower Central Hospital, and we will talk about the details when you arrive, Brother Maori, and hang up first."

"Twilight Police—"

Before Conan finished speaking, only the sound of "beep" was left in the earpiece.

The Conans were stupid.

His original plan was to deceive Twilight Thirteen with Twilight Thirteen's voice, and then use Mori Kogoro's business to trick Twilight Thirteen, and then use the anesthetic needle to anesthetize Kogoro and tell him the decryption process he had deduced, so that it would not be exposed.

But now that the police already know, is it still necessary for Maori Kogoro to be anesthetized?

If he didn't have anesthesia, he just used Twilight Thirteen's voice to trick Maori Kogoro into going to Rice Flower Central Hospital, wouldn't this be exposed?

Conan, whose scalp was a little numb, scratched the back of his head.

The speed at which the policeman named Katsumi Uehara broke the mystery was somewhat beyond what he had known about the Tokyo police for so many years.

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

Twilight Thirteen, who rarely spoke so hard in front of a detective, took one last glance at the number in the address book that was remarked "Katsumi Uehara" before tucking his phone back into the pocket of his orange trench coat.

Well, it's a good seedling.

"Ahh

Rice Flower Central Hospital, the corridor outside the director's office.

Katsumi Uehara, who inexplicably felt a little chilly, sneezed coldly, shrugged the bridge of his nose and frowned: "Chengshi, isn't the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner in your hospital a little too strong?" Can this dean bear it when he is old? ”

"Are you sure it's not your own girlfriend who made too much of it and overindulged in it?" Aji, who was called over to testify about the identity of Katsumi Uehara's policeman, put his hands in his pockets and glanced at his friend: "Go register a number?" ”

"I shouldn't have come to inform you that there was a bomb and let your conscienceless bastard be blown up and pulled down."

"It's one thing and one thing, if you really have a weak body, I can introduce you to a well-known expert in this field of treatment, who is my teacher's classmate."

Maybe it's because he was notified of the evacuation in advance, and the smiling Asa doesn't look nervous, and it can even ease his friend's mood in turn.

Katsumi Uehara, who scolded and grinned, was somewhat soothed: "Why don't you look worried at all?" ”

"Is it useful to worry? All beings under the bomb are equal, and it is the luckiest thing to know in advance that there is a bomb organization to evacuate. ”

Asan, who was already a big heart, shrugged his shoulders: "But there is one thing I still have to remind you that there are some patients in the hospital that you can't transfer now, such as those who are in the operating room and those who are in the intensive care unit. ”

"We didn't think about evacuating everything, as long as the people in the hospital didn't move around randomly, and we could spread out the densely populated areas as much as possible to facilitate the work of the explosive ordnance disposal team."

"It's hard, too."

"It's hard to do, it's not enough to just watch that bastard show off his might."

"Can you save the kidnapped man?"

"Absolutely."

Seeing his friend step into the elevator, Katsumi Uehara said seriously.

The asage in the elevator door wanted to say something, but the words that came to his lips after seeing his expression couldn't help but turn into blessings-

In the room where the elevator door slowly closed, he smiled and sent his blessings: "Yes, after all, you are a policeman, good luck." ”

"Hmm."

Katsumi Uehara nodded, turned his head to look out the window in the hallway—

Outside the hospital, police cars have been parked.

"Everyone, act safely, and try not to clash with them when evacuating the crowd!"

"Understood!"

When the calm face of Twilight Thirteen stepped out of the police car, the officers who were ready to go nodded in unison, and walked towards the overcrowded hospital buildings in groups of five or five according to the previously prepared group plan.

Kogoro Mori arrived at the scene almost at the same time as the police car.

"Police, I'm here."

As soon as he got out of the car, Mori Kogoro, who happened to see Twilight Thirteen and others, was pacing towards him, and Conan, who had sneaked out of the back seat of the car, suddenly changed his face when he saw it-

Worst! It's time to show the stuffing!

"Brother Maori, you're here too, let's go in together, Uehara-kun just emailed me not long ago that he had found a conference room and transferred all the surveillance in all areas of the hospital to the same screen."

"Huh? Ahh ”

Maori Kogoro, who was still confused and couldn't figure out what state he was, nodded extremely confusedly, and just raised his foot to keep up, but a figure suddenly popped up behind him-

"Uncle, I'm going too!"

“?!”

Maori Kogoro's eyes, who suddenly heard this familiar voice, suddenly widened like a copper bell: "Conan?!" Why are you in my car again?! Didn't you go to school?! ”

"Huh? I don't know, I thought my uncle was driving me to school, so I was in your car all the time. In the blink of an eye, Conan, who was becoming more and more proficient in selling cuteness, looked innocent.

“……”

“……”

“……”

When Katsumi Uehara, who was in the dean's conference room, heard the sound of someone pushing the door in and raised his head, the first thing that caught his eye was the unhappy Mori Kogoro and the equally unhappy Edogawa Conan.

"Uehara-kun, are all the monitoring in the hospital displayed on this big screen?" The matter was urgent, and Twilight Thirteen, who had no greetings, went straight in and asked about the cutting screen displayed on the large screen in the center of the conference room.

"Yes, the police department, it's all here."

Katsumi Uehara's gaze quickly swept over Conan and Kogoro Mori, explaining to Twilight Thirteen which images represented the building.

Conan, who had been hit by the iron fist of Maori Kogoro, was still grinning in pain, and after entering the conference room and seeing Katsumi Uehara, he looked at him curiously several times.

Is he the one who cracked it?
