Chapter 422 12 million hostages - the beginning
On this day, the Metropolitan Police suddenly received a strange letter. The content of the letter was very strange. At first glance, it seemed to be a prank.
The content of the letter is roughly as follows:
To the stupid and cunning police, the game between us is not over yet, there is an overtime in this baseball game...
The general content is like this. At first glance, it really looks like a prank, but... all the fax machines in the Metropolitan Police Department have received the same content, which made people panic for a while. Even the forensic department to which Okino belongs.
I received such a fax.
Looking at the A4 paper in his hand, Okino frowned slightly. He knew every word of the content on it, but it was so hard to understand them when they were connected together.
Now it's baseball and now it's a blessing game. Could it be that this prankster is someone who likes baseball? Who knows why so many Neon people like baseball? Okino doesn't even understand the rules of this kind of game.
"Maybe it's really a prank." With this thought, Okino handed the paper to Shino, who was looking at him eagerly.
"Uncle Demi, what do you think? Is this a prank or something?"
"I think... maybe this time it's really not as simple as a prank."
Okino was slightly startled by Uncle Tomi's words, and then became intensely curious.
"Why do you say that? Maybe this person is just provoking the police when he has nothing to do. After all, there are always a few young people with unique ideas in the world."
"No, this time is different." Uncle Tomi's affirmative tone made Okino and Shino look sideways.
"How to say?"
"You may not know that the same thing happened ten years ago and three years ago."
"Ten years ago and three years ago? In ten years, the murderer still hasn't been caught?" Okino really doubted the efficiency of the Neon Police in handling cases.
"No." Uncle Demi shook his head with difficulty and said in a heavy tone, "To be precise, there were two prisoners at the time, but one of the prisoners was hit and killed by a truck when we were arresting him, and this incident was
It happened three years ago."
"One is dead, but there is still one left. Is this possible?" Okino clearly realized something. He glanced at Sano subconsciously, and found that the other person also looked over, his eyes filled with solemnity and shock.
Obviously, the two of them thought of going together. Uncle Demi's next words confirmed their suspicions.
"Yes, you are right. The narrative style of these words is exactly the same as three years ago and ten years ago."
"Then...what happened three years ago and ten years ago?"
"Here's the thing..."
At the same time, somewhere in Tokyo, an unexpected vehicle explosion occurred. The explosion time was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Officer Shiratori, General Shiratori!" The heartbreaking voice broke the silence after the explosion.
"Officer Sato, calm down, calm down!"
"Takagi, let me go, Officer Shiratori, Shiratori!"
Takagi pulled Sato hard to prevent her from getting close to the exploding vehicle, and shouted loudly at the same time.
"Officer Sato, Officer Shiratori, he's over there!"
"What, what did you say! Shiratori is not dead?" Takagi's voice immediately made Sato calm down a lot.
Looking to the side, I saw Shiratori lying on the ground with a head injury. By the way, standing next to Officer Shiratori were a group of elementary school students carrying schoolbags and a beautiful woman.
"How's it going, Edogawa?"
"It's not life-threatening at the moment, but his body has already shown symptoms of paralysis. If this continues, it might be really dangerous."
At this time, Takagi and Sato also hurried over.
"Shiratori, are you okay?"
"Look, it seems that my luck is a bit, bad."
"Officer Shiratori, have you seen the murderer?"
Conan: "No, Officer Shiratori was injured on the right side of his brain and cannot speak normally."
After Conan said this, Officer Sato also noticed Shiratori's injury.
"Takagi, call an ambulance quickly!"
"I've already called again. It will take five minutes for the ambulance to arrive!"
"Damn it, what on earth is going on!"
Because Takagi and Sato were always outside, they didn't know what happened in the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Yes, that's it." Shiratori raised his right hand with difficulty, but he lost all strength just halfway through.
"What is this?" Everyone looked over subconsciously and found that Officer Shiratori was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
Sato picked up the piece of paper and subconsciously read the words on it, but her expression immediately changed after reading a few sentences, becoming ferocious and angry.
"It's him, it must be him, this way of speaking must be him!"
"Officer Sato, what's wrong with you, Officer Sato?" Takagi was very surprised. He had never seen such an angry Sato. Conan and the young detective team were equally strange.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring!
It's Officer Sato's cell phone ringtone.
The ringing of the bell woke Sato out of his grief and anger.
‘Calm down, you must calm down at this time!’ Even so, Officer Sato’s hands could not stop shaking.
"Hello, I'm Sato!"
"What, it is indeed him! Yes, I know, I will definitely catch him this time!"
Putting down the phone, Officer Sato took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart bit by bit. What was revealed on the surface was only boundless fighting spirit.
Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Officer Shiratori to the hospital.

Metropolitan Police Department, Forensic Department
After listening to Uncle Tome's story, Okino and Shino also had a general understanding of what happened that year.
It turned out that ten years ago, when the prisoner first committed the crime, bombs were planted in two places, one of which was a high-rise apartment building.
The bomb in another place was quickly and neatly defused by a colleague from the demolition team, but the bomb in the apartment was a bit difficult to deal with. Of course, the difficulty here only took three minutes.
Because in the eyes of the duo, the demolition of gadgets like bombs is measured in seconds, and three minutes is already a long time.
However, an accident happened.
After the bomb was defused, the countdown on the timer was restarted.
Five seconds, only five seconds left to escape, the result is self-evident.
Police officer Kenji Hagiwara, who was in charge of defusing the bomb, was killed on the spot and his body was not found!
three years ago...
The gangster duo committed another crime, using the same tactics and continuing to provoke the police. This time, the bomb was placed on the Ferris wheel, and the police officer responsible for dismantling the bomb was Matsuda, Hagiwara Kenji's friend who died in the line of duty ten years ago.
The formation is flat.
When things got here, the result was obvious: Matsuda Jinpei died in the line of duty!
By the way, due to the death of his friend, Jinpei Matsuda was transferred to the Violent Crime Section 3 of the Investigation Section 1, which is the department where Officer Megure worked. The person who worked with Jinpei Matsuda at that time was Officer Sato.
Although the time we got together was short, the name Matsuda Jinpei did occupy a very important position in Officer Sato's heart.
