There is no wall that is completely airtight.

What's more, when Katsunori Ichibashi and Momotsuki Kawaguchi were both attacked and hospitalized, it attracted the attention of many interested people.

Therefore, less than five minutes after Katsunori Ichibashi's body was dug out from the rubble, everyone who should know knew it.

Some were delighted, some were terrified, and some, after admiring Karasuma Soshin's speed of work, began to arrange their next action plan in an orderly manner.

However, these are not known to outsiders.

Even the Tokyo Sendama Hospital bombing did not attract much attention.

Apart from the fact that someone secretly suppressed the news, more importantly, the media reporters who like to chase breaking news were attracted by the two explosive news that broke out in Tokyo Port and Yokohama Port respectively.

Tokyo is an international metropolis where explosions happen every day, murderers are everywhere, and there is never a shortage of hot news.

Here, you may suspect that your next-door neighbor is a serial killer who has been on the run for many years, and the old man opposite is a famous thief who retired twenty years ago.

One can also suspect that all Tokyo police officers' police credentials were obtained through backdoor channels and purchased with money. The Superintendent General, who is the top leader of the Metropolitan Police Department, would have dinner at the same table with the yakuza bosses after get off work every Friday.

But you don't have to doubt that people working in Tokyo and even the entire Japanese media industry have a keen sense of news hotspots.

These days, the employment pressure is high. Not only is it hard to find a job, but even if you do find a job, the competitive pressure is still high.

Those who work in the media industry, especially those in Japan, must have a keen sense of hot topics and the flexibility to bend and stretch.

How to compete with other colleagues for food.

Compared with the bombings that are everywhere in Tokyo and so common that they can almost be described as a specialty.

The investigation into the serial kidnapping case currently underway at Tokyo Port and the investigation into the major drug trafficking case currently underway at Yokohama Port are both more interesting than the bombing case.

An accidental explosion has occurred.

In addition to reporting the number of casualties and losses, a detailed analysis of the cause of the explosion will be given at most, and a warning will be given at the end to remind the public to pay attention to safety.

Although there may not be eight reports like this in a day, at least people can know what the ending will be after reading the beginning.

There is no novelty at all.

However, the search operations currently underway at Tokyo Port and Yokohama Port are different.

The former involves the missing persons case that has caused panic in recent days and has touched the hearts of countless people.

As long as it can be broadcast first, it will definitely attract great attention from the public.

The latter involves the problem of drug abuse, which has attracted great attention since the new prime minister took office.

It is said that a new drug control bill is already going through the legislative process. Only a fool would miss such a big drug smuggling and trafficking case at this time.

In terms of attention and the impact behind it, no case is more serious than the hospital bombing.

The most important thing is that both sides are still under police investigation and the outcome is still unknown.

This kind of uncertainty has always been the favorite of media reporters.

Because of the uncertainty of the results, there is more content to be reported and written, attracting more people's attention.

Regardless of the final search results, there will be no lack of hot topics.

Therefore, soon after the police arrived at the Port of Tokyo and the Port of Yokohama, everyone from mainstream media reporters to low-class street paparazzi swarmed towards the Port of Tokyo and the Port of Yokohama like cats smelling fish.

Some are wealthy and powerful, so they directly send out helicopters for a two-pronged approach; others are cash-strapped and just run to whichever place is nearest.

For a time, the Port of Tokyo and the Port of Yokohama were jammed, which brought great work pressure to the police responsible for the outer security and isolation areas.

Facing the camera shooting right in the face and the group of media reporters trying hard to squeeze in.

While continuing to maintain alert with his colleagues, Date Kou hurriedly called Officer Megure on the ship.

At this time, Inspector Megure and others had just arrived in front of the container containing fragile glass products.

Upon hearing the news, Officer Megure immediately called the Metropolitan Police Department to ask for help.

Kogoro Mouri didn't care about all this. While Inspector Megure was on the phone, he kept urging the person in charge of the freighter to open the container.

Seeing that the other party was still taking his time to ask someone to get the key, Maori Kogoro was so angry that he wanted to give him two slaps in the face.

Ginzo Nakamori, who was standing next to him, had eyes as sharp as knives, and he slashed the person in charge of the freighter again and again.

If they hadn't been stopped by Takagi Wataru and others nearby, the two men would have been able to directly recreate the scene of beating Inspector Harumi in the Metropolitan Police Department.

But in fact, Takagi Shigeru and others were also holding a grudge.

From the moment they boarded the ship, the person in charge of the freighter started beating around the bush, insisting that he couldn't remember the exact location of the container containing the fragile glass products.

The group circled the freighter's A-class for almost half an hour, walking from one end to the other, and each time they said it seemed to be here, but each time they said it wasn't.

If Kenji Hagiwara, who was in the customs office, had not promptly determined the approximate location through surveillance video, the person in charge of the freighter would probably have taken them to tour the entire ocean-going freighter from inside to outside.

Even so, the person in charge of the freighter stubbornly argued that the container containing fragile glass products belonged to an important customer.

In order to ensure the safety of the goods and protect the privacy interests of customers, they will not keep any location records internally. No one knows the specific location except the employees who are operating the lifting and unloading equipment at the time.

As for the employee who knew the exact location, unfortunately he suffered from hypoglycemia on the spot after placing the container and is still unconscious.

As soon as this reason was put forward, not only Sato Miwako and others, but even Mori Kogoro knew it was fake.

However, the person in charge of the freighter can speak Japanese, but he is not Japanese.

Behind this ocean-going freighter stands a foreign shipping giant with an impressive background.

The reason why Inspector Megure and his team were able to successfully board and search the ship this time was because they caught their mistakes in the procedures and had strong support from someone behind them.

Otherwise, just wanting to get on this ship would not be an easy task.

Of course, even if you step onto this ship, it doesn’t mean there will no longer be any obstacles.

During the time that the freighter manager was taking them around in circles, no less than five important people had already contacted the Metropolitan Police Department through various channels.

One call even went directly to Director Bai Ma.

The core requirement is that the police must either find evidence as soon as possible or end the search immediately.

So as to avoid causing adverse international impact and affecting other shipping routes at Tokyo Port.

The situation at Yokohama Port is similar, but there is a reporter who is being rescued at Yokohama Port, and there are also photos and other solid evidence.

Therefore, the situation at Yokohama Port is much better than that at Tokyo Port.

Especially when facing a large number of media reporters, Tokyo Port had to call the Metropolitan Police Department for support.

The Yokohama Port has not yet waited for the Yokohama police to take action.

The police officers from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department who had already arrived there, as well as the investigators from the Narcotics Control Department who had entered the Yokohama Port, took the lead in saying that the Yokohama Port was under complete blockade and that a top-secret search was involved, and that non-related personnel were not allowed to enter or leave.

All media reporters were forcibly stopped outside Yokohama Port.

Even the helicopters flying ostentatiously in the sky were severely expelled.

Of course, this does not mean that the pressure at Yokohama Port is less than that at Tokyo Port.

With so many police officers deployed, the entire Yokohama Port was blocked and no one could get in or out.

If nothing is found out.

The media guarding outside Yokohama Port could curse the Yokohama police, Kanagawa headquarters, the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department behind them, and the Narcotics Control Department of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for a month without repeating themselves.

As a result, the pressure on Director Bai Ma doubled, and he was so worried that a clump of his hair fell out.

While calling his subordinate, Kuroda Heibei and the head of the Second Investigation Section, asking them to send people to support Officer Megure at Tokyo Port, he was also worried about the situation at Yokohama Port.

At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart that I was really unlucky this year. It was like I had been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

The year hadn't even ended, but it felt like his life was coming to an end.

First there was the Sky Plaza bombing, in which his only son was almost killed. Then the former Prime Minister was assassinated, riots broke out in various places, and he himself faced a crisis of stepping down.

They finally got through it, but a tulip auction almost killed both father and son.

And now...

Director Bai Ma deeply felt that he needed to go to the shrine to draw a fortune stick to get rid of the bad luck.

By the way, where did Maori Kogoro get the fortune-changing fortune? I'll ask him later when Megure comes back.

...

Port of Tokyo,

Ida Kou, who was in charge of the outer blockade, received support from his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department after more than ten minutes.

When he caught a glimpse of one of them, Yidahang didn't show it on his face, but he felt a pang in his heart.

Isn't this Inspector Harumi?

In the support team,

Inspector Harumi, who was wearing black casual clothes, with bruises all over his face and a medical band-aid on the corner of his mouth, looked at Date Kou and recognized that he was one of Megure Juzo's proud subordinates. His face immediately turned colder.

However, he did not say anything to Idahang at this time, but instead commanded his subordinates who came with him to expand Idahang's original blockade line outward.

With the same tough attitude, they drove out the media who wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze in, as well as the families of the serial missing persons who came after hearing the news.

With the help of others, the entire Tokyo Port terminal was included in the blockade alert area, and a blockade restricted area many times larger than the previous one was designated.

As one of those who were driven out, Toru Amuro watched Inspector Harumi arrive at the scene and make arrangements in an orderly manner. He turned his head and whispered to the driver beside him.

What do they do next?

Do we still have to wait here for the search to be over?

The driver kept his eyes fixed on the ocean freighter, and the latest police action had no effect on him.

However, Amuro Toru's questioning still made him react.

He just whispered:

"Twelve forty-eight. We have to leave here before twelve forty-eight noon at the latest."

When Toru Amuro heard this, he immediately realized that this time point must be very important and must have a very special meaning.

"why?"

Amuro Toru asked casually, and the driver did not hide anything:

"I don't know. It just says that if you don't want to die here, you must leave Tokyo Port before 12:48."

What! ! !

Toru Amuro's pupils shrank slightly, and a flash of horror flashed in his eyes.

What exactly is Whiskey going to do? Is he going to blow up the entire Tokyo Harbor?

There are hundreds of people here now, including countless police, media, families of missing persons, and countless ships in the port. If an explosion were to occur, the number of casualties would definitely be horrific.

Amuro Toru closed his eyes, suppressed the fear in his eyes, and pretended to be curious to ask the driver for details.

At this time, it was already past 11 o'clock.
