Chapter Eighty-Four: Okay, I'll Bet with You [First Update]
Whether it is in the conference room or in the office area of the three departments, there is silence at the moment.
Conan, who had been overturned the final inference, frowned, and there was some disbelief between his eyebrows-
He also thought about the Egyptian pursuers after Moses divided the seas in the Bible, but the scene was too cruel. Once the bomb shatters the undersea tunnel, the surging water in an instant is tantamount to a deadly flood for the police.
Even the prisoners themselves were swept up in the raging waters by the detonation of the undersea tunnel and died at the bottom of the sea.
Could it be ......
Thinking of the warning letter from the hospital bomb eucalyptus and Natsukigawa Zhiya, who took the initiative to expose it, Conan's face sank.
If the idea is true......
"The murder of the firstborn and the division of Moses into the sea have a clear time pattern in the Bible, and it was only after the firstborn disaster that Pharaoh released the Israelites and fled Egypt."
In the conference room, Miwako Zuoto, who was supposed to gather the police officers, was also a little undecided for a while after hearing her partner say this: "If you look at it this way, what Detective Maori said seems to make more sense?" And if they're in the undersea tunnel, wouldn't they be able to explode themselves—"
"What if they hadn't intended to live from the beginning."
Katsumi Uehara, who had a dry mouth, paced to his desk and picked up the water glass, turned the lid and looked up to take a few sips-
Conan, who was still hiding under the table, was instantly startled, and then curled up as much as he could, staring at the legs that appeared in front of him, and a little cold sweat oozed from his forehead-
Oh no, this man is coming!
"Not going to live? They didn't plan to live, so why did they go to such great lengths-" Twilight Thirteen's confused voice instantly froze, and her eyes widened in horror, "Wait a minute! They went to such great lengths just to make sure the police and detectives didn't want to die?! ”
"That's right, that's why the prisoners went to the trouble of tying up Sayuri Matsumoto to bomb the hospital, and the reason why the Maori detectives didn't think the prisoners wanted to die was because they deliberately used the hospital as a cover because the prisoners had planted so many bombs there.
"When everyone thinks that they go to such great lengths to get away with killing someone or someone, they subconsciously assume that the prisoner wants to escape the law and get away with it.
Although Natsuki Chuanzhi's performance is no different from that of a prisoner, he is also a young and promising doctor, and he is the ace of the emergency center of Rice Flower Central Hospital.
"This is also the reason why he will be the last person to enter the Metropolitan Police Department as an NPC, because among the three prisoners, he is the one with the highest social status and the highest economic income, and no one will believe that he really wants to die without sufficient evidence.
"Even if he is very hard-mouthed now, his hard-mouthed mouth is just a joke in the eyes of the consortium. At this point, if the police can't break the coffin for a long time, the consortium will be able to force the undersea tunnel from the mouth of Natsukikawa Jiya, and the police will dispatch, and the purpose of the prisoner will be completely achieved. ”
After putting down the teacup, Katsumi Uehara wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the note on the blackboard-
That's the note that Keiichi Kirino left for him today before leaving.
That's why the prisoner left a declaration of gambling. They want to gamble their lives, but it is their own lives that really press this table as a bargaining chip! ”
Swapping their lives for the lives of the police is what they really aim for.
There was silence in the conference room for a moment, and Twilight Thirteen, who stood motionless, clenched and loosened his fists several times in succession, and his face changed uncertainly;
Miwako Zuoto, who also thought of a certain possibility, gritted his teeth: "I'll go and call Natsukikawa Jiya." ”
Toshiro Oda on the first seat also had a calm face and didn't say a word.
In the three-series office area, after seeing Katsumi Uehara's feet gradually moving away from the desk, Conan, who was hiding under the desk, not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but there was a little more worry in his eyes.
A few minutes later, with the return of Twilight Thirteen and the others, Natsuki Kawaji, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, was also brought over by Takagi Chiba and the others.
"Dusk Police, you're going to throw a farewell party for me? Don't plan to extend your detention? ”
Glancing at the wall clock on the wall of the office area, the man's eyes were full of smiles. Then he tilted his head and looked at Katsumi Uehara standing in front of the blackboard: "Or is this your decision, Uehara Criminal?" ”
"An undersea sightseeing tunnel led by the Suzuki Foundation and the Takagi Foundation."
Ignoring Natsukigawa's provocation, Twilight Thirteen, who had his hands behind his back, stared at him deadly, and said word by word: "Takasugi Toshihiko and Suzuki Ayako, as well as the bomb, and your two accomplices, are all there, right?" ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, Dusk Police." Natsuki Kawaji, who couldn't hide the surprise between his eyebrows, frowned slightly.
The thought of the note she had seen in the morning made Miwako Sato's heart more and more uneasy. rushed forward and grabbed him by the collar, and asked sharply, "You don't have garlic for me here!" Your guys are right there, aren't they?! ”
"I don't know anything, since you guessed it, then send someone to take a look, isn't this what the police should do?"
Seeing Miwako Sato's performance, Natsukikawa Zhiya's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze immediately crossed her and fell on Katsumi Uehara: "You're right, Officer Uehara." ”
"Indeed."
Katsumi Uehara, who reached out and took off the gambling note from the blackboard, shrugged his shoulders, paced forward until Natsuki Kawa stood still in front of him, and raised it: "I'll bet with you." ”
The white paper fluttered with the man's lifting, and Miwako Zuoto, who heard this, instantly turned her head, stared at her partner and shouted: "No! ”
"Really?" Natsuki Kawaji also looked at this opponent with interest: "You actually have other options, Officer Uehara. ”
"Uehara-kun, don't be impulsive! We still have time, and there are other ways! Seeing that the situation that he had feared most after learning the truth in the conference room had happened, Twilight Thirteen gritted her teeth and stopped.
"yes, there's another way."
Natsuki Kawazhi also echoed, and a smile on the corner of his mouth groaned: "For example, this Officer Sato, or this Officer Takagi, Officer Chiba, or yourself from the Twilight Police Department." Play bigger, and you'll be able to do it together—hmm! ”
The paper attached to the palm of his hand directly blocked the man's mouth, and Katsumi Uehara directly pressed him against the wall, and his eyes were cold: "I said, I'll bet with you." ”
