Conan's New Police Story

Chapter 67 Lily, the flower of resurrection [fourth more]

"Um?!"

The moment the anesthesia needle sank into his neck, a sea of ​​drowsiness swept over every nerve in Mori Kogoro's body——

"Really... Here it comes again, this feeling..."

Kogoro Mori's extremely abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of Mu Mushisan who was still in the conference room, "Brother Mouri, are you alright?"

thump!
Sitting down on the ground as if with divine help, with his upper body leaning against the door frame at the door of the meeting room, Mori Kogoro "spoken": "I'm fine, police department, I just suddenly figured out something."

Outside the door, because the hospital staff had already evacuated, Conan, who pulled up the bow tie, stood at the door openly, and the moment he lowered his head to speak, an inexplicable light was reflected on the lens.

"I figured out one thing?" Mu Mu Shisan's face was full of doubts, and then he widened his eyes: "Brother Maori, you know Matsumoto Sayuri—"

"Police department! Please prepare a few more air cushions for me and put them downstairs in Building 1 outside the hospital entrance!"

Suddenly, Katsumi Uehara's breathless voice came out from the silent intercom, interrupting the words that came to his mouth.

"Downstairs in Building 1?"

Hearing the words, Mu Mu hurriedly turned his head and looked out the window, and the tall and upright Building No. 1 immediately came into view.Conan outside the door was also stunned, and then let go of the hands that were holding the bowknot voice changer tightly.

Opening the door of the conference room, he quietly walked in with Mu Mushisan turning his head, and stood beside Mori Kogoro.

Did he react too?

"Uehara-kun, do you mean?!"

"That's right, Sayuri Matsumoto should be in Building No. 1. To be precise, she is in the cross sign on the roof of Building No. 1!"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Katsumi Uehara, who ran into the No. [-] building at the entrance of the hospital, glanced at the elevator with the maintenance sign on it, and decisively chose the stairs.

"The cross on the roof of Building 1?"

All the policemen who heard Katsumi Uehara's words on the walkie-talkie raised their heads and looked in the direction of Building 1. What caught their eyes was the huge cross shining brightly in the warm sun——

That is an architectural element that all hospitals have, representing the cross of the hospital.

"About the notice letter written by the prisoner, I only understood half of it before. That is to say [the envoy chosen by God listened to devout prayers and witnessed the absurd epic once again, in this sad and sinful world ] The first half of this sentence.”

Uehara Katsumi, who was striding up the stairs and rushing to the roof step by step, had become short of breath, and he could even hear the sound of his heart beating faster in this noisy retrograde.

"half?"

With a sullen face, Mu Mo Shisan signaled to several police officers in the conference room to hurry up and prepare the air cushion as required, and then asked, "Uehara-san, you mean that the prisoner divided the notice letter into two parts, one half symbolizes the location of the bomb, and the other half is the location of the bomb." Where is Sayuri Matsumoto hiding?"

"Yes."

Katsumi Uehara nodded, and gradually went retrograde along the stairs to the 9th floor, and the crowds began to decrease. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and rushed up again.

"In fact, [When the blood and the salute wake up the dead god, the punishment has already begun; I am an envoy of God, may God have mercy on the world, Amen] These two sentences, which I thought were the topic of the hospital before, are about Sayuri's hiding place The most critical information.

"The blood refers to the dead, and the salute refers to the explosion of the bomb. I have considered all these before, but I have only ignored one of the most important information - [awakening the dead gods]."

"Wake up the dead... gods?"

On the balcony of the emergency center, Miwako Sato, holding the walkie-talkie, frowned: "Jesus?"

As an ordinary person who does not believe in Christianity, the first thing she can think of after being reminded is the most famous one among the Christian resurrection legends——Jesus resurrected from the dead.

"That's right, it's Jesus."

Uehara Katsumi's gasping voice became more and more urgent and more obvious on the intercom: "It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus was crucified, but he was resurrected on the third day after his death. A holiday dedicated to commemorating this day - Easter.

"This is one of the oldest and most meaningful festivals in the history of Christianity, because it celebrates the resurrection of God Jesus. And on this day of Easter, in addition to various activities, there is a kind of flowers that are indispensable—— lily."

——? !

"Sayuri Matsumoto's name?!" Mumu Shisan slammed the table, his eyes staring like copper bells!

"That's right, it's Sayuri Matsumoto's name. Of course, her identity and character."

Katsumi Uehara paused again to rest for a few seconds, looked up at the empty 19th floor, gasped and grinned: "The lily has always been regarded as a symbol of holiness and purity, so it has always been regarded as the [resurrection flower] by Christians.

"As for Sayuri Matsumoto, apart from her name, she happens to be a bride-to-be who is about to enter the palace of holy marriage.

"The prisoner intends to use her as the flower of resurrection, so as to complete the tribute and quotation of Jesus' resurrection in his notice letter, which should be the reason why the prisoner kidnapped Sayuri Matsumoto instead of directly killing her."

"But, since that's the case, why did he leave that card and the notice letter after kidnapping Sayuri Matsumoto?" Takagi She didn't quite understand.

Since it is so complicated, why bother?

"Takagi, according to the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus was reported by the official soldiers guarding the tomb after seeing it with their own eyes."

"Official soldiers... You mean, us police?!"

"That's right, as said in the notice letter, this guy really seems to regard himself as an envoy of God."

Katsumi Uehara, who finally stepped into the 21st floor of the top floor, wiped off the sweat that had already flowed down his chin, and his eyes fell on the stairs leading to the top roof——

At the door, there is a big signboard: Roof construction, please do not enter.

"That is to say?!"

"That is to say, Sayuri Matsumoto was on the cross where Jesus was crucified. She was regarded as a symbol of the resurrection of the gods and was crushed in the bomb. She was a sacrificial lily.

"In the entire Mihua Central Hospital, the only cross sign that can hold a person is the giant sign on the roof of Building 1, which is facing the hospital entrance."

Putting aside the construction sign and ignoring the raised cordon, Uehara Katsumi pushed open the door of the stairwell and walked up step by step.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the steps was crisp enough to tap.

Soon, a locked iron door appeared in front of Uehara Katsumi.

"In other words, Sayuri Matsumoto should be here."

Katsumi Uehara took out his gun and aimed it at the lock, calmed down his disordered breathing, and pulled the trigger decisively!
boom!
The sound of the bullet being fired instantly entered the ears of every policeman through the walkie-talkie——

Immediately after, at the moment when the lock burst, Uehara Katsumi raised his foot and kicked it!
The rusty iron door fell down in response!
"Uehara?!"

With the fall of the iron gate, all the content on the roof came into the eyes of the man, and the figure of a woman clearly fell into his pupils.

Katsumi Uehara, who slowly lowered his feet, raised his mouth slightly:

"Got you."
