Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1702 Want to play overtime? It's over!

On the same date, a strange note appeared on the car of a police officer who was on duty alone. This was obviously not something that could cause us to let our guard down, so while Officer Megure dispatched his own officers, he also contacted the security team and asked them to deal with Officer Shiratori's vehicle.

After all, when everything seemed to be linked to the bomber, the police could no longer ignore any possibility.

Therefore, when the security team arrived, they immediately set up a cordon and surrounded Officer Shiratori's car, and then the members of the explosives team began to check Officer Shiratori's car.

As a result, the police's actions attracted the attention of pedestrians nearby.

Just like that, a figure hiding nearby, after witnessing what was happening next to Officer Shiratori's car through a telescope in a building, looked a little unhappy.

"How could this happen... This shouldn't happen... These damn policemen..."

  Seeing that the police seemed to have noticed the abnormality of the vehicle and directly sent out the blasting team, no one opened the door and entered the car. This action seemed to anger the man hiding here, wearing glasses and a windbreaker:

"Unfortunately, even if it explodes now..."

Thinking of this, the man pondered for a moment, and then began to recall what went wrong with his plan. After all, it stands to reason that after luring the police here, while the police went to the store to look for the bomb, he would have already placed the real bomb in the car. Then, he would just wait for these damn police to return to the car and see what he left behind, and then detonate the bomb. Then, this overtime would have had a perfect start.

  But what happened now?

Just now, I saw someone approaching the car, but did not get in. He seemed to be observing the people around him. This abnormal behavior made me suspicious. Even if that person approached the vehicle, his subsequent actions made him distance himself from the vehicle after I did not detonate the bomb immediately. This made it meaningless for me to detonate the bomb to kill these policemen.

After all, it exploded like this, and the information I left in the car lost its value. This kind of overtime start was not what I wanted to see.

However, since he didn't detonate the bomb and they didn't open the door to enter the car, there was no way for the bomb to be activated. In addition, the person who had approached the car at first was still observing the crowd, so he didn't dare to take any unnecessary actions. So he followed the crowd and moved away from here naturally. He found this place to observe, and then he saw a large group of police officers arriving, and the people from the blasting team began to check the vehicle.

In other words, the police knew that a bomb was installed in the car without entering the car or seeing the message left behind.

Such a thing……

"Damn it! Damn it!"

  At this moment, I found that the overtime game that I had been planning for three years had gone wrong as soon as it started. Now, can all my plans go on normally?

I felt indignant at the thought of letting the police just walk into the overtime I had planned.

After all, as long as I think of what happened seven years ago——

At that time, he and his companions placed bombs in two high-end apartments to carry out blackmail.

As a result, after the police agreed to his request and stopped the bomb timer, the news still said that the bomb timer was still counting, which made his kind-hearted companion run over and call the police to tell them the plan to dismantle the bomb.

But because of this, he was discovered by that group of cold-blooded and untrustworthy policemen. These guys took advantage of their companion's conscience and treated him like this, which eventually caused their companion to die in a car accident.

Therefore, thinking of this, the man couldn't help but feel angry, and was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the police had discovered the problem without any loss.

If they had successfully dismantled the bomb and seen the text inside the car and the words they left behind, the police would have had the upper hand in this overtime match from the very beginning.

When a man thinks of this, he cannot tolerate such a situation.

So, now that things have come to this, we can't let these policemen off easy! The initiative of the overtime must be in our own hands!

Just like that, thinking about this, and seeing that the police explosives team was fully armed and ready to break open the car window and take out the complete note, the man took out a mobile phone, pressed one of the buttons, and prepared to detonate it remotely!

"No matter what, even if you discover the existence of the bomb, I have to have the final say in this overtime game!"

The man muttered to himself angrily and a little crazy...

……

Turning his sight back to the police—

As everyone was puzzled, Gao Yuan actually discovered that Officer Shiratori's car had been tampered with, and he found the note without even opening the car door. The note read, "My best baseball player, the extra innings have begun!" After Sato Miwako read it, she could not see what was written on the entire piece of paper, even though the paper was folded and placed on the fender in front of the vehicle's main cab.

But just based on this text, Sato Miwako was 100% certain that the perpetrator of this crime was definitely the same person as the bomber in the incident three years ago!

Therefore, the police are now extremely serious when facing this incident. After all, two policemen have died in the past two incidents. Therefore, even if they have only found paper, they are not 100% sure about the existence of the bomb. The people in the blasting team are extremely cautious when facing this car and dare not approach it for inspection rashly.

  So, facing this situation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but suggest:

"How about trying to take out the paper first? See what's written on the complete paper."

  In this regard, Officer Megure agreed with Gao Yuan's idea, so after discussing with Officer Shiratori and the officers of the Explosion Squad, they reached a unified idea:

The members of the blasting team were fully armed and used tools to break the car window and take out the paper while staying as far away from the vehicle as possible.

Officer Shiratori didn't see any point in doing this. After all, the situation had come to this point, and it was not time to consider the problem of his car. Besides...

  Isn't it just a car?

So, after coming up with the idea, the police took action——

However, just as the members of the blasting team were about to break the car window, Officer Shiratori's car exploded without any warning, and in an instant, Officer Shiratori's car was destroyed and engulfed in fire.

However, although the explosion occurred without any warning, the police were well prepared after all, and the power of the bomb was limited. Apart from causing devastating damage to the vehicle itself, it did not pose much threat to the surrounding areas, so everything was within control.

Therefore, after the explosion, the blasting team immediately started to deal with it after confirming that there should be no other bombs, and put out the fire as soon as possible to prevent the flames from burning the gasoline and causing greater danger. In this way, although the paper in the car was also destroyed in the explosion and it was impossible to see what was written on the paper, at least with the occurrence of the explosion, it was basically certain that this matter was related to the bomber.

Therefore, just as Inspector Megure was considering what to do next because of the explosion, Inspector Megure received a report from an internal police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just now, the Metropolitan Police Department received a strange fax.

  So, after Inspector Megure asked the other party to send the complete fax over, and looking at the text on it, he was 100% sure that this incident must have been done by the bomber, and the explosion just now was also a direct provocation to the police by the other party!

“My top baseball player, the extra innings have begun!

“The signal to start the race is tomorrow at noon and the end is 3pm.

"Even if you prepare high-quality brakes, it will be useless because I will eventually reverse the situation! If you want to stop the game, come to my side! I will be waiting in the steel batter's box for you police officers to climb the blood-stained pitcher's mound."

——"It can't be wrong! It can't be wrong!"

  After reading the entire fax received by Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako said very seriously:

"In the case three years ago, only the first half of the fax content was released, so it is impossible for anyone to imitate it so closely, except for the criminal himself!"

"Um……"

  Hearing this, Inspector Megure also looked solemn:

"Then the whole thing will develop in the same way as it did three years ago! According to the content of the fax sent by the prisoner, he may have prepared two bombs this time, and the detonation time should be 12:00 and 3:00 tomorrow noon.

"The situation is extremely urgent this time! We cannot let him slip away again and again!"

At this point, Inspector Megure had made a decision and was about to report the matter to Manager Matsumoto.

At the same time, not only the Metropolitan Police Department, but almost all police stations in Tokyo received the same fax, which immediately caused a commotion among the police. Before Officer Megure reported, Manager Matsumoto already knew the general situation, so he immediately issued an order:

"You still want to play an extra game! We must not let him get away this time! In addition to martial law, we must search for any suspicious individuals we see. No matter what the situation is, we must report it immediately!"

This time, the criminal's provocation angered all the police officers. All of a sudden, all the police officers in Tokyo who could move came out in full force and began patrolling.

Such a grand scene, as well as the constant sound of sirens on the road, have already foreshadowed the unrest in Tokyo tonight.

In this regard, as someone who was at the very beginning of the incident, Xiao Ai witnessed the development of the whole incident which was noticed by Gao Yuan in advance. She could not help but come to Gao Yuan and sighed:

"I never thought things would develop to this point... Fortunately, the children went back early, otherwise if they were faced with this situation, I can't imagine what they would do."

  At this point, Xiao Ai felt a little emotional, then looked at Gao Yuan who was thinking on the side, and couldn't help asking:

"What do you think? This time the criminal is..."

"Ah!"

Suddenly, when Xiao Ai said this, Gao Yuan suddenly smiled and said:

"Still want to play overtime? It's over!"

——Although this incident happened after another incident today, fortunately Conan did not seem to be directly involved in it, so until now, the development of the situation has not deviated too much from the original work. At least judging from the fax sent by the criminal, the locations of the other two bombs set by the other party should not have changed.

Well, if that's the case, knowing the original work, how could he allow this criminal to have the chance to trigger the next bomb like in the original work?

"Ugh?"

For a moment, Xiao Ai was somewhat surprised and doubtful after hearing Gao Yuan's words.

It's over? What does that mean? Could it be that he has already...

"Officer Megure, the explosion just now actually shows one thing, that is, this criminal, until just now, was still in a place where he could see here! He must have noticed the police's actions and knew that if he didn't detonate the bomb, it would be dismantled. So his attack this time should be the first to give way to the so-called overtime, and it would end in vain. So this criminal took the initiative to detonate the bomb. But this also exposed his whereabouts!"

So, Gao Yuan explained directly to Officer Megure:

"From leading the police here, and then installing a bomb in Officer Shiratori's car... I think it should be much easier to find this criminal! He must have arrived here when the restaurant received the threat, and then after Officer Shiratori and Takagi arrived, he installed a bomb in Officer Shiratori's car while the crowd was paying attention to the store, and then hid in the crowd and observed..."

  At this point, Gao Yuan waved his hands helplessly:

"Originally, when I went to check on Officer Shiratori's car, I also looked around the crowd, but I didn't find any suspicious people staring at this place, so I thought the criminal had already slipped away! But now it seems that until just now, he was still in a place where he could see this place! Therefore, the whereabouts of this criminal can be analyzed!"

  In this way, Officer Megure, who was originally nervous about the location of the next two bombs because of the fax, was stunned when he heard Gao Yuan suddenly talk about the whereabouts of the criminal himself, and hurriedly said:

"Yup!"

Then, he ordered the police officers nearby to conduct a search and investigation.

"Ask if there is anyone who was already near the scene when the restaurant received the threatening letter, who was still in the crowd after Shiratori and the others arrived here, and who should have been somewhere where we can see this place until just now!"

  Gao Yuan then went on to explain in detail:

"If he is still among the crowd nearby, I think it would be difficult to find him. After all, when I was observing consciously, I didn't find any suspicious people. So I am more inclined to believe that after installing the bomb, the criminal found a place where he could see this place and observe secretly... and such a place, or in that time period... should be easier to locate!"
