Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Chewing Gum Tin Box
For a moment, the dazzling light of fire illuminated the despair between the woman's eyebrows—
The hustle and bustle of the water rises to the sky, and the roaring waves echo in the ears.
A torrent of water mixed with glass bricks fell from the sky, splashing her clothes in an instant.
broken tunnels, collapsed buildings;
Rushing water, bursting waves.
Wet hair messily stuck to the woman's cheeks, Miwako Sato stood in place, trembling lips trembling for a long time, the headset in her hand fell weakly along with the heart in her chest.
The beautiful Manju Sawa blooms on the depressed Yellow Spring Biliang Slope, and a red meteor faintly crosses under the clear night sky.
"Mom, look! A star has fallen! ”
The night in Tokyo is bustling and lonely.
The happy family activities made many children on the balcony look up and see the bright star marks after the meteor -
"Will the stars fall and hit people, Mom."
The beautiful woman with the hairpin stroked the child's head, smiled and shook her head, "No, Yuta, because it's not a star." ”
"Not the stars? What is that? ”
"It's the tears of a warrior."
"Mom, what is a warrior?"
"It's somewhere in the world, someone who fights all the time. Lonely souls who do not believe in the gods. ”
The immature child stood on tiptoe as if he didn't understand, and his hands were pulled on the railing of the balcony.
I was just about to raise my head and continue to follow the trail of tears, but I saw a skateboard brother on the road downstairs dodging left and right very coolly, but the lightning-fast speed gradually slowed down in the tossing and turning-
Damn it!
Conan, who jumped off the skateboard, picked it up and ran towards the target, gritted his teeth: it used too much electricity to get from the office to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the skateboard didn't have enough power stored during the day.
The explosion just now......
The explosion just now......
Uehara Criminal ......
Although he was not familiar with this man called Katsumi Uehara, after realizing that this man had extremely keen insight and execution, he consciously reduced his performance in front of him to avoid being recognized as his true identity.
But in his heart, this policeman is indeed the policeman he has been in contact with over the years, and he has been most impressed by the entire Metropolitan Police Department.
The Suzuki family's undersea sightseeing tunnel project has such a large investment, even if it is not close, Katsumi Uehara was not killed in the first place, and the burst of water and glass shards will definitely kill him-
Even at this time, he still has a trace of consciousness.
Because underwater, it is difficult for the police to find people.
Thinking of this, Conan, who raised his hand to adjust the tracking glasses function as he ran, increased his speed on his feet.
"What about positioning?! What about the positioning on the explosion-proof suit?! What about the positioning on the buttons of Uehara's suit?! ”
Eucalyptus spot.
The roar of Twilight Thirteen was full of pain in the sudden throbbing temples on both sides of the head, and the tiger's eyes were round, and he asked the technical team with filial piety.
"The police department, the impact of the explosion is very strong, and the location signal is ...... It was interrupted three seconds after the explosion. We can only lock on to the area before the signal disappears—"
"If you can lock it, lock it! Start the No. 2 and No. 3 rescue pre-eucalyptus! Go and save people! ”
"The Search and Rescue Department has been dispatched, the Police Department, and we are still waiting for their news."
“……”
After roaring, Twilight Thirteen, who couldn't stop gasping, took several deep breaths in a row, and then forced the grief that welled up in his heart.
has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and one of the things he is most pleased with now is to see his juniors thrive under his command-
Miwako Sato is like this, and so is Renzaburo Shiratori.
And Katsumi Uehara's performance these days is even more surprising to Twilight Thirteen.
But now, this surprise is gone.
It wasn't supposed to end like this.
His eyes fell on the motionless figure sitting on the ground with his head bowed and his hands on his knees—his wet hair had not been dried by a towel, and there were still a few drops of water at the tips of his hair.
The silent shadow was infinitely elongated in the moonlight, and it was dim that she couldn't see her expression at the moment.
Twilight Thirteen hesitated for a moment before he sighed and walked over.
"Left Vine ......"
"Police Department, I want to be alone for a while, is it okay?"
“…… Okay, I see. I just want to say that Uehara still has hope of surviving. ”
Twilight Thirteen nodded, pulling off the hem of his trench coat and squatting down beside his subordinates, "The technical team said that the location signal disappeared three seconds after the explosion, which means that he was not in the heart of the explosion. ”
“……”
Seeing that Miwako Sato was still sitting motionless on the ground, Twilight Thirteen opened her mouth, and the thousand words in her stomach only turned into a pat that gently fell on her shoulder.
"The police department."
Just as Twilight Thirteen stood up and was about to leave, Miwako Sato, with her head down, spoke.
"I'm here, Sato."
"Are you talking about me, is it really an ominous person......
Tears rolled down the corners of the woman's eyes that were filled with sorrow, and the wind lifted the dust and debris on the ground and slapped on her face, making her collar rattle.
"Don't be stupid, kid."
According to her age, Twilight Thirteen, who can be the father of Miwako Sato, squatted down again and squatted in front of her: "Uehara is a policeman, just like your father, and Shiratori who is still lying in the hospital room now, and Matsuda Jinheijun three years ago, and even like all the policemen who have been injured and died in the line of duty over the years.
"He's just doing what he's supposed to do as a police officer."
"But...... But ......" Miwako Sato, who looked up, had tears glistening in her eyes, and the whimpering sound in her throat made her unable to utter even a complete sentence.
"Uehara is a warrior, and you are a warrior too. All those who put on this police uniform to fight against evil are warriors. ”
Twilight Thirteen patted the junior in front of him on the back, his eyes full of sadness, but his tone remained firm: "Warriors will bleed and die, it's inevitable.
"He is doing this today, and I may be the one who does it the day after tomorrow, or even you may be the day after tomorrow to take on this responsibility.
"Maybe even now, in some corner we don't know, there are unknown undercover agents who have been shot dead, and there are colleagues who have died in their posts."
Twilight Thirteen took off the orange bowler hat that she had never taken off during her work hours for so many years, revealing the scar on her head: "Did you see it, if it wasn't for the timely treatment, I might have died more than twenty years ago."
"So, don't give up until the dust settles. As long as no body has been found, then there is still hope for him to survive. ”
Twilight Thirteen, who also knew in his heart that this possibility was extremely low, put his hat back on under the gaze of Miwako Sato, and his tone was still firm: "There is only a possibility, even if this possibility is only one in ten million, we as police officers can't give up." ”
“……”
"Rest well, I'll go and see the results of the search and rescue team."
Twilight Thirteen, who understood that this kind of thing had to rely on Miwako Sato to come out by herself, stood up silently, and the next second, a child holding a skateboard suddenly fell from the barbed wire on the side, and the sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of the police.
"Dusk Police! In the direction of ten o'clock in the southeast! The rescue boat with the B2 logo is 100 meters in front of the left at a 35° angle! ”
"Quick!
! I saw that Uehara was criminalized!
”
Human life is bigger than the sky, and Conan, who arrived in a hurry, didn't care about whether he was exposed or not, and kept adjusting his tracking glasses similar to the effect of the microscope, and shouted loudly!
This trick he had used before in the mall to help Katsumi Uehara chase people, and he thought it was just a tracking skill, but now it has become a life-saving magic weapon that can determine Katsumi Uehara's location.
On the lenses, Katsumi Uehara of the Flesh and Blood Model Lake has obviously exhausted the last bit of consciousness, and the instinct that erupts in survival and the muscle memory that has swam underwater are still no match for the injury, and the fire of life parasitic on the tattered clothes is crumbling.
"What did you say?!"
Twilight Thirteen and Miwako Sato stared at Conan, who was in a hurry.
"Hurry up the Twilight Police Department! It's too late!
! ”
“B2! B2! Go 100 meters at a 35° angle in front of the left! Check Katsumi Uehara's location!
Fast!
! ”
Instinctively, Twilight Thirteen directly picked up the walkie-talkie and commanded sharply—
“B2! B2! This is B2! Discovery of Uehara Criminal! Discovery of Uehara Criminal!
"Repeat, find out that Uehara is criminal! Rescue efforts are underway! The accompanying doctor is in place! ”
Miwako Sato, whose eyes were gray, stood up from the ground as if she had been loaded with bullets, and the light of hope appeared in her heart again.
Uehara?!
Three minutes later, there was a message on the intercom that was enough to make everyone nervous-
"B2 is returning! Uehara's criminal vital signs are rapidly weakening! Emergency rescue is ineffective! He needs surgery! ”
"Police cars get out of the way! Clear all roads to the police hospital! Contact the best doctor and prepare resources for rescue now! ”
On the side, the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department, who also heard the news, Zhu Xing Deng Zhifu, deputy director of the police station, ordered in a condensed voice: "Hurry up! ”
Before the words fell, Shiro Suzuki, who was comforting his eldest daughter who was shocked after being rescued, heard the words and immediately expressed his attitude: "Zhuxing, I'm afraid that the police hospital is not enough to support Uehara's criminal surgery now, so I'll leave the matter of the hospital and the doctor to me." ”
After that, without waiting for the stars to hear back, Shiro Suzuki directly dialed the phone and went out-
"I need an operating room, a team of the best doctors in the world, and top doctors who can perform the surgery now.
"I'm going to snatch someone from death."
Looking at Katsumi Uehara, who had already been rescued from the flesh and blood mold lake, Shiro Suzuki's tone became more and more urgent: "Quick! ”
"Uehara!"
"How is Uehara?!"
"Uehara!"
The three departments of people who rushed up surrounded the accompanying doctors, and you said a word to me, and asked noisily.
"Fortunately, Uehara Criminal should have grabbed the explosion-proof suit and draped it in front of him before the bomb exploded, which played a certain role in resisting and buffering;
"Moreover, I don't know why there is a small square iron box in the breast pocket of the Uehara criminal suit. Many of the fragments that had been worn through the suit had been poked into the empty box after their power had been greatly reduced, so that his heart had not been detonated.
"Still, his situation is far from optimistic."
When the accompanying doctor took out the small square iron box that had been twisted to the point of not being presentable and was filled with various small glass shards, Miwako Sato recognized at a glance what it was-
It is an iron box that Katsumi Uehara often uses to hold chewing gum.
