Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

After his identity was exposed, Karasuma Sonobu showed no strange expression. He just nodded casually in Koizumi's excited expression, admitted his identity, and then stopped talking.

Koizumi Hezi looked at her father's excited face and couldn't believe that the person she kidnapped would be the only son of Neon's richest man. Faced with her doubts, the other hostage, Kenji Hagiwara, said:

"If you don't believe it, you can wait for the police to come."

Seeing Hagiwara Kenji's vow, Koizumi and his daughter believed it. Then Koizumi took out another mechanical device from his arms. After pressing the button, all the elevators and escalators stopped running in the next second.

As early as when the elevator accident happened, someone called the police. A few minutes later, the nearby police officers arrived first. Looking at the gangsters walking upright and carrying guns at the entrance of the mall, they immediately doubted their lives. Then, This group of police officers quickly called the Metropolitan Police Department and requested support from their superiors.

Hearing that gunmen had kidnapped the entire shopping mall, the entire Search Section and the Criminal Organization Countermeasures Department became excited and sent people to the scene.

The media, whose noses are sharper than a dog's and could smell hot spots after the Metropolitan Police Department was dispatched, also caught wind of the incident and rushed to the mall armed with long guns and short cannons.

Sky Shopping Plaza is a skyscraper with a height of 266 meters and a total of 58 floors.

Because it is close to the two iconic landscapes of the Sky Tower and the Sky Tree, and is the tallest building within a hundred miles, it was named Sky Shopping Plaza by the builders.

This shopping mall, which is not ranked among the top three among all the top shopping malls in Tokyo and is always ranked below Ginza, has become completely famous today.

Before the arrival of the Metropolitan Police Department's large force, media outlets from all over Tokyo surrounded the main entrance of the Sky Shopping Plaza. Many news stations started broadcasting live reports.

Looking at the group of media reporters and paparazzi at the door who were desperate to grab first-hand news, every policeman looked unhappy.

Although the media had praised them once before, what the police remembered more deeply than this praise was that this group of mad dogs who chased breaking news and had no regard for law and morality had made countless attacks on the police. Criticism, criticism of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

For the sake of so-called hot spots, this group of mad dogs often disregarded the lives of police officers on duty and broadcast live broadcasts of crime scenes countless times. Many secret operations formulated by the police were noticed by criminals in advance, and effective defenses were made against their action strategies. , which eventually led to many police officers being sacrificed or injured and retired.

And for the sake of the so-called explosive point, they have torn apart the victims' unwillingness to reveal their past countless times for the public's amusement, distorted the truth, and twisted the facts, causing countless victims to be unbearable and choose the path of death. s consequence.

However, no matter how serious the consequences were, they still went their own way without a trace of regret or shame. All that was left was a few understated apologies between the lines, or they simply blamed others for the cause and consequences.

Datehang looked at the media who started to explain and report on the spot, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Memu Shisan, who was sitting at the first scene, was also at a loss. He looked at the representative sent by the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, and the other person also spread his hands and expressed his confusion.

And just when Mu Mu Thirteen was about to bite the bullet and report to the boss, he saw countless black cars speeding from a distance. Then, under the order of the head maid, countless bodyguards in black surrounded the group of media reporters and reporters. Paparazzi.

Under the interference of the signal jammer that was turned on in advance, all electronic equipment fell into a state of failure. The original live broadcast report was directly cut off, so that the audience watching the live report could only see a snowflake.

After seeing the bodyguards reveal the name of the Karasuma Consortium, the media people with angry faces all shut up. They all felt very confident and put away the various equipment in their hands, and then went back to their homes to find their respective mothers. , dare not refute at all.

The kidnapping case of Kaito Kidd a few days ago was still fresh in our minds, and no one dared to offend the Karasuma Consortium.

After dealing with this group of media, the head maid walked up to Megure Thirteen. After revealing her identity, she informed his young master, the sole heir of the Karasuma Consortium, about the situation in this mall.

Mumu Thirteen took a breath of air and immediately grabbed the phone in his hand to report this important information to his boss.

He had personally experienced the city-wide inspection and search operations a few days ago. That night, the Metropolitan Police Department, the National Police Agency, and the big shots from the cabinet all turned their attention to him, and the calls came one after another.

All the police officers on duty in Tokyo, whether they were on leave or on duty, were mobilized overnight to rescue Master Karasuma, who was kidnapped by Kaitou Kidd.

Now that the matter had calmed down for two days, this incident happened again. Mu Mu Shisan felt that he was really having bad luck this year, and even a simple recitation was not enough to describe his luck this year.

This was obviously the evil spirit that came to cut off his career prospects.

I wonder if he is now imitating the Maori brothers and going out to visit friends to gain good fortune at the same time. It is too late to change this year's bad luck.

Mumu Shisan thought sadly.

Kuroda Hei, the current manager of the First Investigation Section who received the call from Megure Thirteen, listened calmly and quickly reported the news to his immediate superior, Director Hakuba.

Karasuma Sonobu, whiskey, a high-level core member of the black organization, was kidnapped this time. Was it an accident or another carefully planned chess game?

While Kuroda Bei speculated on Karasuma Sonobu's role in this incident, he dialed Director Hakuba's office number.

At that time, Director Hakuba was receiving the head of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department who he personally promoted from the Kanagawa Police Headquarters.

Director Hakuba's eyes turned black when he heard that the precious heir to the Karasuma family was involved in a kidnapping case again.

He's dead, why did Karasuma Renye's precious son get into trouble again? How did he take care of his son? Something had already happened once, so why didn't he send more bodyguards to guard him and let him wander around alone?

In the quiet office, the phone conversation between Kuroda Hei and Director Hakuba was very clear. Sanada Kenjiro, wearing a police chief uniform, sat upright on the guest sofa, quietly waiting for Director Hakuba to answer the phone.

After hanging up the phone with a sad look on his face, Director Baima looked at his subordinate who was supposed to officially join the company in a few days and showed a wry smile:

"The heir of the Karasuma Consortium was involved in the huge hijacking case that just happened in the Sky Shopping Plaza. Now I have to deal with this matter. When you are free after you officially join the job, let's sit down and have tea and chat. "

Upon hearing this, Sanada Kenjiro immediately stood up, raised his hand and gave a standard salute, and said righteously:

"Director Baima, I request to rush to the scene and personally command and assist on the front line. Although I will only officially join the job next month, from the moment I receive the transfer order, I have been the director of the Metropolitan Police Department's Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.

Nowadays, there is such a group of armed criminal gangs committing crimes in Tokyo. As a neon police officer, I have the obligation to eradicate them.

Please give me this opportunity. "

Seeing Kenjiro Sanada volunteering to go to the front line in person, Director Hakuba was filled with joy. He felt that he really recognized heroes with his keen eye and had transferred such a pearl to his subordinates.

Look, before he officially joins the job, he dares to go to the front line and share his worries. He is worthy of being from a famous police family in Kanagawa, just like his father Masayu Sanada.

Thinking about Sanada Kenjiro's background and resume, Director Hakuba became even more satisfied.

Born in Kanagawa, his father is the former chief of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters, Masayu Sanada. Before his retirement, his police rank was one of only 30 police inspectors in the country.

Although he was born in the semi-professional team, compared to his brother who was born in the professional team but retired due to injury and switched to business, Kenjiro Sanada has always been diligent and talented in his position. After graduation, he started as an inspection director. At the age of 38, he was promoted to police officer under unusual circumstances.

Some time ago, the former head of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department retired early due to injury. Director Hakuba thought carefully about it for half a month, and finally, after obtaining the consent of the National Public Security Commission, decided to defy all opinions and transfer Kenjiro Sanada to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. , and Sanada Kenjiro was promoted from police officer to police chief at the age of 45.

Reached the pinnacle of the semi-professional group.

Looking at Kenjiro Sanada's back steadily leaving, Director Hakuba sighed:

It's a pity that Kenjiro Sanada's elder brother Heitaro Sanada retired due to injury. Otherwise, if the Sanada family teamed up, even his current position as police chief might belong to their family.

Nowadays, Sanada Kenjiro's brother has moved to the business circle, and he himself is not from a professional group. The position of police chief is already at the end, and it is a luxury to hope to take another step forward.

However, thinking of his son Masahiko Sanada, who was born in the professional team of Sanada Kenjiro and is now the section chief of the 1st Section of the Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department and has reached the rank of police officer, Director Hakuba felt that the next generation of the Sanada family might really have a chance to sit in his position. .

As his thoughts spread like this, Director Baima couldn't help but think of his son Baima Tan, who was about to graduate from high school next year. He had a son at an old age and originally hoped that his son would be admitted to the University of Tokyo and then pass the vocational examination and follow the path he had walked.

However, thinking of the deeds of the eldest grandson of senior Masayu Sanada, Director Hakuba couldn't help but give up on letting his son take the professional group exam to become a police officer.

Forget it, if you want to be a detective, just be a detective. He is just such a son. As long as he does not commit crimes, he can always keep him safe and have a smooth life.

He didn't want his son to be like Sanada Masayu's eldest grandson and Sanada Kenjiro's nephew. After being forced by his family to be admitted to the professional group, he ran away from home before the start of the police academy and had no news for more than ten years.

The relatives at home are left worrying day and night.

Thinking about the eldest daughter-in-law of Masayu Sanada, the eldest sister-in-law of Kenjiro Sanada, who he had met several times, and the biological mother of Sanada's eldest grandson who had run away from home for more than ten years, and now the vigilant Ms. Yuki Sanada, he suddenly felt extremely... He wanted to interfere with his son's future plans.

"Jingle Bell…"

The familiar phone rang. Director Hakuba recovered his thoughts. Seeing the familiar caller number, Director Hakuba took a deep breath and answered the call from Karasuma Renye.

Bai Ma Tan, who didn't know that he would have a free choice in the future, was currently in the tunnel of the Sky Shopping Plaza, breathing heavily while struggling to climb to the 18th floor.

He and Conan arrived just in time, arriving at the side entrance just before the media reporters surrounded the Sky Shopping Plaza, and then took advantage of the commotion caused by the media to sneak in.

Later, with the newly obtained Youth Detective Corps badge, Detective Hakuba and Conan learned from Shuichi Akai that the Sky Shopping Plaza was attacked and controlled by a group of gun-wielding gangsters.

The previous elevator accident was also caused by that group of gangsters.

Today, a large number of gangsters are guarding the 18th floor with guns, but the other floors are also guarded, and bombs are installed on each floor.

Hakuba Tan was counting the floors while holding his mobile phone, and was always paying attention to every move on the 18th floor through the miniature camera tied to the legs of the pigeons raised by Kuroba Kaito.

When he saw Karasuma Sonobu, who was being guarded as the main hostage, White Horse Detective immediately recognized that it was Karasuma Sonobu, the heir to the Karasuma Consortium who was extremely feared by them, and was also a huge multinational organization called the Black Organization. The core cadre of the criminal group, codenamed Whiskey.

Today, the mall was already conducting spring break marketing activities, so many pigeons appeared in the mall as part of the event atmosphere.

When Kuroba Kaito's pigeons blended in, they looked even more inconspicuous, something that Koizumi and others were accustomed to.

As the pigeons flew down, Detective Baima carefully took note of the terrain and personnel distribution on the 18th floor, and then sent the news to his father, Director Baima, via text message.

Director Hakuba, who was not in a good mood after answering Karasuma Renye's call, was shocked when he saw the message from his precious son.

You are dead, why did your son go to that place?

Director Baima was so anxious that he thought that his son, Detective Baima, was in the Sky Shopping Plaza. There might be a group of gun-wielding gangsters there. These bullets don't have eyes. What if, what if...

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Director Hakuba, who was almost scared out of his wits, hurried to the scene. At the same time, he anxiously called Kenjiro Sanada, who had rushed to the scene earlier, to inform him of the news.

On the other side, inside the Sky Shopping Plaza,

Conan took advantage of his small size and nimbly moved between floors.

He and Detective White Horse shared the perspective of the pigeon probe. Through the camera, he not only saw the situation on each floor clearly, but also learned the distribution of the gangsters.

There are more than 18 gangsters in total, more than 1 of them are concentrated on the 9th floor, and the rest are scattered on various floors. After the hostages on each floor are driven away, the hostages are now basically concentrated on the 18st and 36th floors. , th floor, and th floor.

Each of the four hostage-concentrated floors was guarded by about fifteen gangsters with guns, and the rest patrolled between the floors in groups of three or two.

As for the whereabouts of the bomb, when he noticed that the leading man on the 18th floor was wearing maintenance man's clothes, Conan originally focused on the main maintenance items such as electrical boxes, central air conditioners, and elevators.

But after searching all over the place, he suddenly noticed that some of the gangsters were wearing shopping mall employee uniforms. So after much speculation, Conan set his sights on the newly added triangular advertising sign at the bottom of the escalator on each floor.

Seeing the patrolling gangsters passing by repeatedly and subconsciously staying away from the triangular sign, he speculated that the bomb should be installed inside the triangular sign.

It is eye-catching, and people will not touch it easily. It is located next to the escalator. If an accident occurs, the connecting escalator can be directly blown up, killing the hostages escaping from the escalator and the policemen using the escalator to rescue.

It's a pity that those places are the focus of the gangsters' patrols, and they are under surveillance. Conan can't go and see them in person. He is paying attention to the situation on the 18th floor through the pigeon probe, and at the same time paying attention to the movements coming from the headset.

He was silently calculating in his mind how long it would take for Mr. Akai and Mr. Kamel to arrive at the monitoring room and take control of the monitoring.
