The moment the lights went out, screams of exclamation sounded from all floors.

A few patients who were impatient and whose symptoms were not serious walked out of the ward. They originally wanted to find a nurse to ask the reason. Unexpectedly, they saw smoke coming from the corridor, and the air was filled with a very unpleasant smell.

The thought of a fire suddenly appeared in several people's minds, and then several people ran around in panic, shouting "Fire" at the top of their lungs.

With this voice shouting, the entire inpatient building was like a hornet's nest that had just been poked. All the patients who could move their legs and feet ran out of the ward in a swarm.

After discovering that the elevator was unusable, they rushed towards the stairs and safety passages.

The doctors on duty and night nurses who stayed in the inpatient department rushed forward to comfort and persuade the patients in the wards on each floor, hoping to guide them to escape safely.

Unfortunately, little effect was achieved. The scene was once so chaotic that crying and swearing were intertwined, and crutches and wheelchairs flew together.

The safe passage that was supposed to be used for escape was locked by someone unknown, so the remaining walking stairs were blocked by the panicked and eager patients.

In the face of life, no one is willing to give in even a step.

The persuasive voices of doctors and nurses gradually became more and more intense as the patients became more and more anxious and chose to use force to fight for a way out for themselves. They were gradually replaced by the sounds of increasingly fierce fighting, eardrum-piercing cries, and spicy curses. , blurred to the point of being inaudible.

On this rainy night with thunder and lightning, a wonderful drama showing the essence of human nature was staged.

Outside the inpatient building, heavy rain poured down.

As soon as the lights in the inpatient building went out, Tachibana Takeshi cheered up and focused his attention on the floor where Sanada Yuuki was.

However, under the interference of heavy rain and smoke in the corridor, the role of the sniper was suppressed to the extreme.

Takeshi Tachibana was so angry that he wanted to punch the wall.

Hanano Rina looked at the computer screen that was completely dark due to the physical power outage. She immediately realized that something was wrong, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"This is not like the way Iris used to commit crimes."

Hanano Rina had carefully studied Iris's crime file. In situations like this, Iris used to use disguise and stealth to knock down the watcher, and then take the person away quietly.

But this time, it was the power outage and the smoke that was released on every floor that mobilized the troops.

Someone must have given Iris some help behind the scenes.

And, he also participated directly.

Although some of the public security personnel left in the afternoon, and even the leader Yu Kazami returned to Tokyo, the remaining people still dutifully set up several lines of defense at Kanagawa Central Hospital.

Given the police's habit of making one turn every five minutes on average, if there was a face wandering around on each floor, it would definitely not escape their eyes.

Therefore, the people who release the smoke must be at least two people. Coupled with the power outage operation, this is at least a three-person team.

However, let’s not mention why Iris, who is like a lone ranger, chooses to cooperate with others.

Regarding the selection of Yuki Sanada as the target, is it Iris's personal will or the conspiracy of the collaborators behind it?

Thinking of this, Hanano Rina inevitably felt bad.

Ever since Sanada Masahiko disappeared, Hanano Rina felt as if she was in a fog, being led by the nose, and everywhere she looked was covered with thick white fog.

Can't see the right direction at all.

The hacking skills I am good at are useless at this moment, and there is still no news from the person I am looking for.

The five-day period is approaching, but now, she can only sit here and can't do anything to help.

STA's computer genius is just...a piece of trash.

The helpless feeling of loss weighed heavily on Hanano Rina's heart, crushing her past pride to pieces.

However, Hanano Rina didn't lose her mind for a few seconds.

The other end was connected to the communication channel of Hanano Rina and others. Conan, who was also paying attention to the situation in the inpatient department of Kanagawa Central Hospital, seemed to have noticed Hanano Rina's loss from a distance, and said:

"Officer Hanano, do you feel that the other party knows us too well?"

Conan was surprised at first.

However, after following the idea that Iris had an accomplice and considering the situation at the scene, a shocking yet reasonable guess emerged in his mind.

The purpose of cutting off the power is to block Hanano Rina's control over the hospital's surveillance, so that she can take advantage of the chaos and troubled waters.

The fog placed on each floor not only confuses the eyes and conceals the identity, but more importantly, it can restrict Tachibana Takeshi as a sniper to the greatest extent.

To be able to calculate so accurately to this point, there are no unnecessary steps, or the other party has a resourceful think tank to provide help.

Either that, or their personnel arrangements have long been exposed to the other party.

In other words, based on their personnel list, a rough plan was deduced.

Conan didn't think it was Shuichi Akai who participated in the formulation of the plan, Yu Kazami who participated on the phone, or Rina Hanano who revealed the contents of the plan.

But what is certain is that there must be someone within them who has an extraordinary relationship with the collaborators behind Iris.

No, it should be said that he has close contacts with the black organization.

Possible speculations appeared in Conan's mind one after another, and then they were rejected one by one. The last flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and Conan suddenly remembered the conversation between Belmode and his mother Kudo Yukiko.

After deducing that 90% of the collaborators behind Iris were members of the black organization, Conan immediately realized that the fact that Sanada Yuuki was targeted by Iris was most likely an internal conflict between Whiskey and another organization cadre.

In this battle, the person who originally had the upper hand was Whiskey, so the opponent started with Yuki Sanada, intending to use Yuki Sanada as a bargaining chip for a comeback.

Hanano Rina didn't think as deeply as Conan, but she also heard what Conan wanted to express from Conan's words.

With her sanity back online, Hanano Rina put aside the disappointment in her heart, and after a brief thought, she decisively ordered Tachibana Takeshi to withdraw from the sniper point immediately.

Then the next second, Hanano Rina and others who were connected to STA's internal communication channel heard a harsh metal collision sound from their headsets.

"Officer Tachibana!"

Conan, who also heard the sound, couldn't help but exclaimed. He recognized that the harsh sound was the sound of the bullet hitting the ground.

It's raining so hard outside and the sound can still be so clear. That bullet must be aimed at Officer Tachibana. No wonder Officer Hanano wants him to withdraw from the sniper point.

Now that we know their plans and people from the black organization are involved, in this case, the lone sniper is undoubtedly the best target.

After thinking about this, Conan once again realized the importance of Yuki Sanada in this battle, but he always felt that there was something important that he had overlooked.

The uneasiness in his heart spread little by little, and Conan began to think over and over what exactly he had overlooked.

Rain pattered on the car window. Conan was sitting in the back seat of an inconspicuous black car in the parking lot of Kanagawa Central Hospital, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart. While observing the activities in the inpatient department with a telescope, he carefully sorting out his thoughts.

Cut off the surveillance, isolate the sniper's line of sight, create chaos, attack Tachibana Takeshi...etc.——

Conan suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted:

"Officer Kawaguchi, please go to Police Inspector Sanada's ward as soon as possible and confirm whether Police Inspector Sanada is still in the ward."

The sky was thundered again, and a striking bolt of lightning flashed over Kanagawa Central Hospital, as if silently telling Conan:

You guessed it, but unfortunately... it's too late.

Disguised as a corridor cleaner, Kazugo Kawaguchi and three ICPO members in the next ward subdued several suspects who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the ward where Yuki Sanada was. Before he could take a breath, Conan's words shocked him so much that he broke into a cold sweat. out.

Ignoring the large bruise on his face caused by the punch, Kawaguchi hurried to the door of Yuki Sanada's ward, pressed the door handle, and pushed in.

However, there was no pushing away.

The door that was just lightly closed didn't move at all under the force, as if it had been locked from the inside.

Kawaguchi's face changed drastically, and he patted the door hard twice, but there was still silence behind the door.

Seeing this, the expressions of the three ICPO policemen who were originally a little confused also changed. One of them, a strong man, came to the closed ward in a few steps, pulled away the thin Kawaguchi Kazu, and then kicked the door. superior.

"Boom!"

The fragile wooden door cracked with a sound. When the man walked in and took a look, his face suddenly darkened, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and started making a call.

Kawaguchi Kazuichi, who squeezed in through the crack in the door, his eyes darkened when he saw the empty ward, and he almost lost his breath. Two words were circulating in his mind.

It’s over, it’s over…

"Kawaguchi, how is the situation?"

After calming down, Hanano Rina clearly heard the noise of Kawaguchi and the breaking of the door over there. Although she had a bad premonition, she still had a glimmer of hope.

"No one, no one in the ward."

Not only is Inspector Sanada missing, but the captain's mother is also missing.

Kawaguchi Kazu couldn't understand why kidnappings were bought one and got one free these days.

He could understand taking away Police Officer Sanada. After all, it was the target chosen from the beginning, but what happened to taking away the captain's mother?

Outside the building, the police who arrived belatedly began evacuation work.

The closed door of the emergency passage was opened, and some of the patients crowded at the stairway immediately changed directions and evacuated downstairs through the passage.

While the policemen were swimming upstream, Heitaro Sanada and Kenjiro Sanada, who were chatting in the restaurant diagonally opposite the inpatient building, also followed them with anxious and worried faces.

Then they both learned the sad news that their wife was missing.
