Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

If you get along well with your colleagues, they will be very sad when you die, right?

This thought led him to deliberately disguise himself, sealing his emotions in a small corner—his last act of tenderness towards the world.

"Officer Sato!"

Hearing Takagi's call, Officer Sato finally snapped out of his daze, his eyes hardening with determination. This time, no matter what, he was determined to bring that bomb-monger to justice!

"By the way, Ms. Miyano just saved Shiratori's life. I am so grateful. It is amazing that she was able to make such an accurate judgment in such a short time."

Shiho Miyano nodded slightly without giving a reply, while Shinichi Kudo, standing to the side, was still reeling from the shock.

"I must say, he truly is someone that guy trained. He could detect the bomb just by hearing the slightest sound. His hearing is unimaginable."

He had no doubts about this, after all, Miyazaki Yu's amazing abilities were already deeply rooted in his mind, and his reasoning had never been wrong when it came to that guy!

So please refrain from making any deductions when it comes to anything involving that guy!

The situation was quickly reported to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, and Inspector Megure's expression turned grim upon receiving the report.

"I am the main player of the major league. This overtime is about to begin. The game will officially start at noon tomorrow and will end at 3 pm. Even if you find someone to stop me, it will be a waste of effort. I will eventually turn the tide and win. If you want to stop this game, just come to me."

"When you cops arrive, stepping over bases stained with blood, I'll be waiting for you at home plate!"

"Is this the information on the note that Officer Shiratori desperately snatched?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Inspector Megure's serious expression became even more profound.

Three years ago, the same criminal sent a similar fax to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the department has just received a fax with a similar tone.

In this way, the original suspicion was immediately confirmed: the one who planted the bomb in the police car to kill Officer Shiratori was definitely that bomb maniac!

Without the slightest delay, he immediately reported to Matsumoto, the manager, who was also Sayuri's father.

"Overtime? This is a provocation against us police!"

The scars on Matsumoto's face twitched, revealing a ferocious expression, his anger reaching its peak.

"Manager Matsumoto, please rest assured, I will definitely bring this audacious person to justice, however..."

Manager Matsumoto frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Inspector Megure immediately replied, "Sir, there is indeed another situation to report. When Shiratori's police car was bombed by the bomber and he was in dire straits, the person who rescued him from the car was a Miss Miyano Shiho. And this Miss Miyano Shiho has a very close relationship with that Miyazaki Sword Saint..."

"Shiho Miyano? Indeed, the relationship is quite close. Her household registration information was only reissued after that gentleman personally intervened. Before that, there was no information about this young lady in the household registration information at all."

This young lady seems to have fallen from the sky; she always acts strangely whenever it involves that Miyazaki swordsman. But that's none of our business.”

Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the superintendent wasn't going to investigate further.

"But even so, why did you specifically ask me to do this?"

Inspector Megure said, "Commander, you are wise. My thought is that this bomb maniac is extremely vicious and ruthless, and has a very strong counter-surveillance awareness. Because of what happened seven years ago, he has always been hostile to the police. Such a person is very likely to do anything to get revenge!"

Even now, our understanding of the other party is minimal, making it extremely difficult to find them smoothly. This time, both Shinichi Kudo and Ms. Miyano have become involved in the case due to the explosion.

The subordinate believes this is a great help. Shinichi Kudo, of course, needs no introduction; his reasoning ability is extremely strong, and he is already a recognized famous detective.

According to Shinichi Kudo, this Ms. Miyano is a highly accomplished disciple of Lord Miyazaki. In terms of strength, even if she is not as good as Lord Miyazaki's top disciple, Kenshin Nishikawa, she is by no means an ordinary person. Moreover, today, she was able to identify the bomb from more than ten meters away based solely on the faint sound, thus saving Shiratori's life.

Therefore, I think that if we could involve her in this case, it might be of great help to our investigation.

Chapter 672 Hostages Worth 12 Million (2nd Update!)

"Ok?"

The Matsumoto manager looked thoughtful.

As a senior police officer, he was naturally well aware of Miyazaki Yu's secrets.

From initial disbelief upon learning certain things to later shock and horror, this series of psychological changes all occurred in his life.

From then on, he, like many high-ranking figures, closely followed Miyazaki Yu's movements.

It wasn't until a series of battles took place in the United States that not only thoroughly shocked the United States and the world, but also had an even greater impact on these high-ranking Japanese officials.

For other countries, no matter how powerful this Miyazaki swordsman is, they will not have any direct interaction with him unless they provoke him.

But for Japan, it's a completely different story!

This humanoid nuclear bomb is located in his own country, even in Beika Town, Tokyo, which is under his own jurisdiction.

How to get along with this monster suddenly became a problem!

Fortunately, at this time, His Excellency the Prime Minister stepped forward and came up with a plan to allocate a large area of ​​private land and build the most luxurious palace in the world for this extraordinary person, so that he could enjoy life to the fullest.

However, it must be said that although there is a natural fear and disgust in my heart towards people who have mastered the ultimate personal martial power and are no longer bound by the state.

However, the desire for and awe of this power is also irresistible!

In such a critical and dangerous situation, if such a force were to lend a hand, it could indeed be of great help.

“I understand, Mume. I agree to your request. However, as you know, this Miyazaki Sword Saint has a special identity. If this Miss Miyano wants to get involved herself, we don’t need to object. That’s enough.”

And her safety must be guaranteed. If anything happens to her, the consequences will be far more terrible than the damage caused by the bomber!

"understand!"

..............................

Police cars sped along the highway, their sirens blaring throughout Tokyo.

This unusual scene drew stares from the people of Tokyo, who were wondering what had happened, but instinctively quickened their pace to get home.

Inside the police car, Miwako Sato recounted what had happened.

"That's roughly how things went."

The story is actually quite simple: this bomber first appeared seven years ago.

He and his accomplices planned a bombing extortion scheme. They planted explosives inside a residential building and threatened to blow up the building if any residents tried to escape, and even use this as leverage to extort cash from the police.

Left with no other option, the police had to pretend to agree, and the perpetrators then used a remote control to stop the bomb countdown.

The two bomb disposal experts dispatched by the police, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, are close friends and fellow bomb disposal experts, so their relationship is naturally very close.

As a result, Matsuda Jinpei successfully dealt with the bomb he was in charge of, but an accident still occurred.

Because of a blunder in the television report, one of the two criminals, the one with a slightly better conscience, mistakenly thought the bomb countdown had not stopped, so he tried to contact the police, only to be caught red-handed.

During his escape, the criminal was accidentally hit and killed by a train.

The remaining criminal believed that the police had instructed the television station to spread false information, which caused his companion's death, and thus began to resent the police.

This led to the second bombing three years later. In this case, Officer Matsuda Jinpei fell into the criminals' trap and was lured to a Ferris wheel that was planted with a bomb. The criminals not only destroyed the Ferris wheel's power equipment but also used information about another explosion as bait.

This forced Officer Matsuda to abandon his escape plan, because the warning of another explosive device on the bomb could only be seen three seconds before the explosion.

It was through this information that the police learned the exact location of another explosive device: Mihana Central Hospital.

This averted a potential disaster, but Officer Matsuda, of course, was torn to pieces in the explosion.

"The whole story is like this."

Shinichi Kudo looked thoughtful.

"This criminal is clearly an eccentric and withdrawn person with a strong desire for revenge. He is well-versed in chemistry and mechanics, and judging from his choice of words and some small details, he should be male and around forty years old."

Shiho Miyano smiled slightly: "Is this a psychological profile? But we can't catch the culprit with just this. The most urgent thing now is to find the bomb."

The three children had already started discussing it, but their ideas were obviously very naive guesses and had no credibility whatsoever.

At this moment, Shiho Miyano spoke up again: "I've already guessed the location of the bomb in the code. Kudo-kun, you should have the answer by now, right?"

Shinichi Kudo nodded. This girl was definitely a genius. Although her talent did not lie mainly in reasoning, her meticulous logical thinking was the foundation of detective work. It was not surprising that she could come up with such ideas.

"Okay, I'll count to three, then we'll say the location together and see if our guesses match. One, two, three!"

"Cup Protects the Station!"

The two gave the same answer in unison, and couldn't help but smile.

"Beihu Station? How can you be so sure it's Beihu Station?" Miwako asked curiously.

Shinichi Kudo explained, "Minami-bei Station is a station on the Toto Chuo Line. The bases and home plates mentioned in the code do not have a literal meaning and have nothing to do with baseball fields."

The locations where the perpetrators planted bombs three years ago were the large Ferris wheel in the Beigo shopping mall and Beigo Central Hospital. The only place where the roads extending from the main roads in the vicinity intersect is Beigo Central Station.

This aligns with the coded message's implication of an 'overtime'. More importantly, if there's a station next to the road, there will definitely be a stop device on the road, which refers to a railway crossing interruptor, a warning device specifically used at intersections to prevent vehicle collisions.

This means that the so-called steel home plate in the code refers to the tram!

The "base covered in blood" likely refers to the red-faced train heading north, meaning the perpetrators' first bomb was on the Toto Chuo Line train bound for Tokyo!

Shiho Miyano nodded in agreement: "Kudo-kun is right. My reasoning is pretty much the same. However, I have a feeling that this might just be a smokescreen by the criminals, and that their target might be somewhere else."

Many of the metaphors in it are quite ambiguous.

However, based on the information available now, this is the best conclusion we can draw.

After a pause, she said in a deep voice, "Therefore, we must act quickly! This criminal is ruthless. If the bombs are random, that means that all twelve million residents of Tokyo are now under the constant threat of explosion, and they could all become hostages!"

Chapter 673 Returning to Teitan High School

These words undoubtedly had a terrifying impact.

Yes, if the location where the bomb was planted cannot be determined, then everyone in Tokyo is a hostage in the hands of the perpetrators and could be in danger at any moment!

The two, already on edge, didn't hesitate any longer and immediately reported their discovery to Inspector Megure. Inspector Megure then ordered the train to stop running and began a thorough search of the entire carriage.

The search lasted all night, and many suspected explosive devices were found inside the train carriages.

These suspected explosive devices repeatedly tested everyone's already tense nerves, leaving the entire Tokyo police force exhausted in just one night.

Although one by one, suspected explosive devices were found.

Everyone gradually realized that the other party deliberately left behind so many suspected explosives, and the most fundamental purpose was to buy time for the police and exhaust their energy.

But even knowing this, you still have no choice but to search with all your might.

Because with bombs, it's better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free, otherwise the consequences would be extremely serious. Once people's lives are lost, they can never be brought back.

So this is a calculated move. You know I'm playing you, but because of the uncertainty—no one can be sure if there's a real bomb hidden among the many fake bombs—you can't miss a single one. You can only honestly and keep searching.

The search didn't come to an end until the morning of the next day. Everyone was exhausted, especially the three children, who were already drowsy after not sleeping all night.
