Chapter 773 Recruitment

The police officers present were all tortured by Eriko's question. Should they choose to save the lives of the bank employees trapped in the building, or choose to let the Accounting Inspection Office audit the presidents of the five major banks? Some police officers even broke out in cold sweat on their necks. For some reason, Eriko's words seemed to have a bewitching power.

For Ishikura, the answer is self-evident.

It is impossible for the police to agree to any demands of criminals.

Once you take a step back, it will only encourage more criminals to follow suit. In the end, there will only be chaos in the world. Crime is crime. Even if it is committed in the name of justice, it is still a crime and must be brought to justice.

Shi Cang still adopted the "delaying tactic" and said, "We have received your request. I will contact the relevant departments immediately."

Ishikura then walked out of the operations room and looked at Yokogawa who was outside.

"How about it, do you have any ideas?" asked Shicang.

At present, it is impossible to locate the criminals, or how many people are in the other gang, or how the bomb was remotely controlled. It is an almost unsolvable problem.

As the Metropolitan Police Superintendent, Ishikura could only consult Yokogawa for advice. After all, Yokogawa was the head of the First Section of the Security Department and had experience in handling explosives.

"We can only use the stupid method." Yokogawa said, "Since we now know that the bombs are installed in the head office buildings of the five banks, we can only send people into these five buildings to secretly conduct bomb inspections. Not to mention finding out where the bombs are, at least we should first clear out a few floors as safe areas, and then gradually evacuate the employees there. This way we can avoid casualties. If unfortunately the bomb explodes, we can only evacuate through the fire escape."

Yokogawa is indeed an experienced section chief of the Security Department.

He immediately proposed a safe plan.

Ishikura nodded and expressed his agreement directly.

The Superintendent was also a straightforward person who hated all the red tape, especially in this critical moment, when there was not much time for collective discussion, research, and decision-making. He could only take responsibility and make the final decision.

"Understood. I will arrange people to carry out this plan right away," Yokokawa said.

However, as soon as the two men finished speaking, a police officer came out of the operations room and called the two officers back, only to see Eriko start talking again.

Inside the room, the woman's voice came:

"Are you trying to delay time?"

Eriko went straight to the heart of the matter.

Ishikura didn't expect to be asked this question as soon as he entered the room. Even though he was experienced, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He then quickly reacted and said, "No, we are not wasting time. We are already looking for the relevant department for you as soon as possible."

Of course what Ishikura said was a lie.

At worst, we can find some negotiation experts and pretend to be the Accounting Inspection Office.

Then, Eriko's voice sounded:

"I need to see relevant news on TV before 7 p.m. I need to see the Accounting Inspection Office announce an audit of the presidents of five banks. Otherwise, I will detonate the bomb immediately."

Hearing this, Ishikura and Yokogawa couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

"Wait!" Ishikura said immediately, "Ms. Eriko, you need to give us some time. You have worked in a bank before, so you must know that it is not easy to start an audit. Isn't the time you give us too short? It's almost 6 o'clock now, and we only have less than an hour. Can you give us a little more time?"

Eriko's voice came from the other end of the microphone:

"If the Accounting Inspection Office cannot make a decision, then please have the Metropolitan Police Department hold a press conference and inform all Japanese citizens of my demands. The presidents of these five major banks must be audited. If you do not announce my demands by the specified time, I will detonate the bomb." "My request is not excessive, chief officers," Eriko continued, "don't you want to save the people in the building? It's actually very simple for you to save these people. You just need to make the owners of this building - the bank presidents - accept an audit, that's all."

Ishikura opened his mouth. He really wanted to refute Eriko.

However, the superintendent caught himself.

He knew that now was not the time to anger the suspect.

How to do?

There was less than an hour left until the suspect's request.

It is very likely that it is too late!

Ishikura immediately signaled Yokogawa to follow the plan immediately. Find the safest floor in the building within the shortest possible time! !

Institute for Unnatural Causes of Death, Nishi-Musashino-shi, Tokyo.

The beautiful forensic doctor Misaki Mikoto looked up at her watch. It was already 6:20. At this moment, she was sitting at her desk, concentrating on reading academic documents on her computer. She reached out and adjusted the brightness of the desk lamp to make the light stronger. Since the Kyoto incident, she returned to the Institute of Unnatural Causes of Death and continued her daily forensic work.

However, she still cannot forget everything she experienced in Kyoto and Kitahara, especially the life-and-death gunfight on the castle tower. From time to time, the memory flashes back to her mind. She still cannot forget the bloody scene when an investigator from the Accounting Inspection Office was shot in the abdomen by a shotgun.

Yes, she has dissected thousands of corpses, but she still has this reaction.

Suddenly, the office door was violently opened.

A tall, thin, middle-aged man hurried in. He was Kamikura Yasuo, the director of the Institute of Unnatural Causes of Death. He looked extremely anxious.

"Sancheng, hurry to Tokyo!!"

"what happened?"

"We have received a request from the Metropolitan Police Department. There may be a serious shortage of doctors in Tokyo tonight! The police are recruiting a large number of nearby doctors and nurses to go to downtown Tokyo."

"What happened?! But... Director, I'm a forensic doctor." Sancheng said, "I can't treat the patient."

"You don't understand what I mean." Kamikura's face darkened, "A lot of people may die in Tokyo tonight! That's why I need you to go there!!!"

For Sancheng, before hearing Kamikura's words, this evening was just an ordinary day. However, now everything was suddenly disrupted. Sancheng didn't know what would happen in Tokyo, but Kamikura's words "Many people will die in Tokyo tonight!" made Sancheng's heart tremble.

I don't know why, but everything I experienced with Kitahara in Kyoto suddenly came back to my mind.

Tokyo—that’s where Kitahara lived.

What happened over there?
