Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

The last thing Vodka wanted to deal with in his life was his elder brother's torture team, especially the captain Japes. He would never call if he could receive notification via email, because just hearing the sound would give him nightmares for three days.

Seeing Vodka running away like a fat bunny after just delivering the person without even entering the door, Yamazaki turned his head and glanced at the young man with a pink afro dressed in a punk outfit.

Japes, who knew what Yamasaki meant, shrugged and led the people towards the interrogation room.

"It's probably because Vodka brought back top singer Hidemi Tojo's concert album by mistake two years ago, and brought back a collection of my interrogation highlights.

As a result, I was ridiculed by the interrogator that day, and Gin even laughed for the first time. "

The difference between these two things is quite big, how easy is it to get the wrong one? Yamazaki blinked in confusion.

Jay, a serious punk enthusiast, and a prankster, also winked mischievously.

Pushing open the door of one of the interrogation rooms on the second underground floor, Jabez glanced at the man tied to the torture rack. After Yamazaki entered, he introduced:

"The tied one will introduce himself later. The one typing on the computer is a member of my staff. You don't need to remember. The last lady with silver hair and heterochromatic eyes is Miss Curacao who was assigned by Lord Rum to attend the interrogation."

After Yamazaki nodded to indicate that he heard clearly, he turned to Curacao and introduced:

"Curaçao, this is Miss Yamazaki who was appointed by Mr. Whiskey to follow up on the whereabouts of the goods. She is also here to observe the interrogation."

The two beautiful women with different styles looked at each other, and then each withdrew their gaze.

After clapping his hands, Japes walked up to Max and pressed the current controller in his hand neatly. Max, who had been sedated since he was caught in the water, was suddenly awakened by the electric shock. Cold sweat dripped down his face, and he was caught off guard and let out a low roar.

Taking a few steps closer, Jabez reached out and pressed the wound on Max's right shoulder:

"Are you awake? Please cooperate well and give us the information we want. First of all, would you like to introduce yourself?"

...

Osaka Prefecture Space Plaza

The police who came to support surrounded the entire square, but in the face of hundreds of people who were locked in giant iron cages, no one dared to move rashly.

There were only two dozen circus employees left, some forming a circle outside the crowd and some standing in the middle of the crowd, wearing cute candy-colored overalls, but all of them had guns in their hands.

The loud blaring of trumpets carried the usual persuasive words of negotiators. Moori Kogoro in the crowd silently rolled his eyes.

Even after more than 20 years, they still haven't changed a word of the negotiation rhetoric. Unless these criminals' brains are all flooded, no one will listen.

The heat wave generated by the previous explosion quickly burned the tent cloth. Now the tent cloth in the entire Universe Plaza has been burned clean. Now there is only a huge bare iron cage in the square.

If you look up, you can see the full moon in Osaka. Looking back, you can see the carcasses of various animals emitting a burnt aroma.

The remains of the wooden box affected by the fire hit the ground and emitted white smoke. Many people were hit by fragments of tent cloth with sparks, but no one dared to complain at this moment.

At this moment, even though the police outside could clearly see the criminals in the open air, no one dared to act rashly.

Because in the center of the five-color glass ball at the top of the big iron cage, a large composite bomb was sitting there quietly. In the iron cage, under the rows of iron seats covered with candy-colored floral cloth, there were twenty or thirty small bombs scattered here and there.

Once it explodes, no one in the cage will survive. Those criminals are dead, but others are innocent.

Mao Lilan was scared, but at the same time felt lucky that Conan was not here. Toyama Kazuha next to him also felt lucky. Fortunately, her Heiji was not here.

Outside the iron cage, two men who were missed by their loved ones were desperately trying to squeeze in.

Hattori Heiji's clothes became tattered, and Conan's hair was partially curled up by the fire. Both of them were gray-haired and had many bumps and bruises, just like a pair of waif brothers.

But at this moment, neither of them paid attention to their own image, and walked on all fours against the flow of people towards the police circle.

Lan/He Ye, please wait for me. I will definitely rush to your side to protect your safety.

"Heiji, it's dangerous ahead, don't go any further."

Hattori Heiji, who had just squeezed into the police circle, was grabbed by Otaki Goro who turned around and noticed.

Hattori Heiji used more strength to break free of Otaki Goro's hand, and burrowed in with all his strength. Otaki Goro hugged his waist when he reacted.

"Heiji, Heiji, the prisoner has installed a large number of bombs inside. If you are not careful, it will cause a huge explosion. If something happens to you, how will I explain to your father?"

Hattori Heiji paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Dalong Police Department, please let me go quickly. He Ye is still inside, and she is still inside. I can't just watch He Ye in danger and do nothing.

My father never taught me to give up when I encounter difficulties. Don't worry, I won't rush forward impulsively, but please let me get closer to her. Seeing me, He Ye will at least feel at ease. "

Speaking of which, Hattori Heiji had returned to his usual calmness. Seeing the pleading in his eyes, Otaki Goro sighed heavily. Thinking that there was Minister Toyama's daughter inside, he felt even more headache.

"Then it's agreed, you have to stay with me, don't run around, and let me know if anything happens."

After Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, Otaki Goro led him towards the innermost part of the encirclement. Then, as soon as he reached the innermost part, he watched helplessly as Hattori Heiji rushed to the negotiator and snatched the negotiator's horn and held it in front of him:

"I will be the exchange hostage. Aren't you afraid that releasing a large number of hostages will cause the police to directly rob them regardless of the safety of the remaining hostages? Then I will be the replacement hostage.

My father is the highest-ranking police officer in the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and I am his only child. The police and media behind me can all vouch for what I said. "

One of the circus workers standing in the middle of the crowd looked at Hattori Heiji doubtfully, and then pointed at Otaki Goro.

"You, yes you, call the father of the highest-ranking police officer this boy mentioned and ask him to come over immediately. And your boy, come over now with your hands raised."

Hattori Heiji handed the trumpet to the stunned negotiators on the side, straightened the damaged coat, and subconsciously prepared to touch the hat on his head, only to realize that the hat on his head had been lost somewhere during the previous exciting chase. .

Ignoring the Otaki Police Department who hurriedly called his father, Hattori Heiji faced Toyama Kazuha, who was covering his mouth with tears in his eyes, and walked step by step towards the huge iron cage.

When he was less than five centimeters away from the iron cage, Hattori Heiji stopped. Immediately, two men with guns came over and pointed their guns at him.

At 23:17 Tokyo time, Hattori Heizo arrived at the Universe Plaza.

Hattori Heizo, who was wearing a police surveillance uniform, stood steadily in front of all the policemen and walked along the road. All the policemen stood at attention and saluted when he passed by.

"Headmaster Hattori."

Taking out the police manual from his arms, Hattori Heizo opened it to the page with personal photo information, and then pointed it at the iron cage five meters away.

"I am Hattori Heizo, the top commander of the Osaka Police Headquarters, and that child is indeed my only son Hattori Heiji."

One of the people who pointed the gun at Hattori Heizang looked at the photo held by Hattori Heizang, turned around and nodded.

After the people who had asked Hattori Heizo to come to the scene saw the confirmed information, they quickly picked out three people among the hostages in front of them. They were a fat young man wearing glasses and an elderly gentleman with gray hair wearing a decent suit. , and a lady with a plump figure.

Then, he turned his attention to Mao Lilan

"What a beautiful light blue pearlescent dress. It just so happens that our circus is called Cinderella of 12. Welcome to Senluo Circus, this beautiful princess."

The elegant tassel spit out from the man's mouth, and what was incompatible with it was the man's gun aimed at Mao Lilan.

"orchid"

Mouri Kogoro stared, stood up suddenly, blocked his daughter behind him with his body, and shouted:

"Let me be the hostage left behind. I am Neon Detective Mouri Kogoro. I know many high-ranking police officers, newspapers and media, and I am a well-known figure in Neon.

My daughter is just an ordinary high school student with no value at all. Please let me be this hostage. "

"father!"

Mao Lilan choked and shouted, and then his mouth was covered by Mao Li Kogoro's hand stretched back. Tears suddenly flowed down the corners of Mao Lilan's eyes.

Looking at Mouri Kogoro who was speaking nervously and righteously, the man shook his head slowly. His light brown eyes glanced at Mouri Ranwei's blue skirt on the ground, which was not completely covered by Moori Kogoro. He spoke:

"Tonight's performance is really terrible. It is our dereliction of duty not to bring joy and laughter to the children here. But as a qualified circus employee, I hope that there will be a beautiful Miss Cinderella like you to witness the finale. performance.

So, dear Miss Cinderella, would you like to stay and witness the last performance of Senluo Circus? Of course, as a father, Mr. Mori, I also hope you can stay. "

The man took off his cute candy-colored hat, bent down and performed a gentleman's greeting, then straightened up and looked at the father and daughter in front of him.

"I promise you, sir."

Mao Lilan pulled Mao Li Kogoro's other hand and shook it slightly. This was an action she had never made since she was seven years old.

With his heart beating hard, Mouri Kogoro slowly let go of his hand and exhaled a long breath. After hearing his daughter's voice of agreement, he nodded as well, then turned around and helped up his daughter who was sitting on the ground, and faced him. Walking in the direction of the selected hostage at the other end.

No matter what, he will use his life to protect his and Miles' daughter. Her daughter will live happily.

Just when the man finished selecting the hostage he wanted to leave behind and was about to follow him to the other side, a pair of arms opened in front of the man. Looking at the girl who slowly stood up, Patrick stopped and showed surprise for the second time.

"My name is Toyama Kazuha. My father is Toyama Ginshiro, the head of the Criminal Division of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. His position is the second highest in the Osaka police. Like the black-skinned boy outside, I am also my father's only child.

Now the only two children of the first and second-ranked police officers in Osaka Prefecture are here. With us as hostages, you can trust that the police will not attack suddenly when you release the hostages. "

Yuan Shan and Ye looked nervous, but still insisted on finishing the sentence. Hearing the sudden shouting of Heiji, he slowly became calmer.

Patrick looked at Toyama Kazuya, whose face was still stained with tears, and then looked at the black-skinned boy outside who grabbed the iron cage with both hands and suddenly became nervous, and withdrew his gaze.

"In this case, please ask Miss Toyama and I to walk over, and please be careful of the broken tent cloth on the side so as not to trip."

When the flames came over and burned the tent fabric, Patrick immediately asked his men to open the water spray guns placed at the four corners of the tent and connected to the sea water of Osaka Bay through hoses, as well as a large number of fire extinguishers. Although the fire burned quickly, he could not The fire was extinguished, but the burning remains of the wooden box still gained some relief.

The tent cloth, which was wet and shining with sparks, became fragmented and scattered around the iron cage. Some were large and some were small. If you were not careful, you would trip over.

Toyama and Ye glanced at Hattori Heiji, turned around and followed Patrick to the other side where the hostages were identified.

As Patrick agreed to the exchange, the hostages who were not selected were rushed towards the door that was originally covered by tent cloth and locked with iron chains. The hostages rushed out excitedly. The circus employees guarding the perimeter also walked out.

According to the negotiated agreement, Patrick agreed to release most of the hostages, and most of his men would also leave the iron cage with the children of the top police officers as a guarantee.

As a condition of release, police were not allowed to arrest circus employees who stepped out of the cage. He will maintain communication with the departing members. Once an abnormal situation occurs, he will directly kill the remaining hostages and then press the switch of the bomb controller.

The deaths of two children of high-ranking police officials and a father and daughter of a famous detective were enough to make the neon media write front-page headlines for three months, and even in the past twenty years, they could have been used for speculation.

Meanwhile, the Neon Police's reputation will hit rock bottom among their own populace.

Therefore, even if he faced police officers who were more than ten times his number, Patrick did not have the slightest fear. As long as he could get the answer tonight, he could go see his relatives. Death was an extremely beautiful destination for him.

Faced with the release of more than two hundred hostages, Otaki Goro coordinated with other departments in advance, and each allocated part of their police force to do evacuation and comfort work.

As for the circus employees who evacuated, they were let go by Otaki Goro without seeing them after handing over their guns in a proper manner.

Just when the crowd was pouring out and everyone's attention was on these hostages, Mao Lilan inadvertently glanced at a ball of damaged tent cloth that suddenly moved from time to time.

Just when she was thinking that this might be some small animal or an unknown ghost. She saw a pair of round blue eyes through the two holes in the dilapidated tent.

Conan? How come he is here?

When Hattori Heiji was taken by the Otaki Police Department into the inner circle surrounded by the police, Conan decisively changed the direction.

With a piece of tattered tent cloth that he picked up and burned, he draped it around him and carefully moved Conan to a position next to the iron cage and next to the audience seat.

Then, while everyone was paying attention to the hostage exchange for ten minutes, he touched the spot where the broken pieces of the box had bent it, causing the gap to become slightly larger, and squeezed himself in with all his strength.

The fragments of shabby tent cloth and scattered box fragments in the iron cage cleverly concealed Conan's slowly moving figure.

Through the two holes, Conan looked at Xiaolan who remained calm and comforted He Ye. The moment he looked at his beloved, a sweet smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

When he realized that Xiaolan couldn't see it, Conan secretly stretched out two fingers from the other hole to make a small heart sign, and then quickly took it back.

Noticing this scene, while worrying, Mao Lilan only felt the last trace of uneasiness in her heart, which was soothed by this little love.

At this moment, apart from Patrick, there were only five circus employees and the seven hostages left in the exchange.

Looking at Mao Lilan who was less than four meters away in front of him, Conan didn't move any further. The debris and wreckage in front of him had been cleaned up by the prisoners. Any movement he made would be discovered. At this moment, he could only wait.

Come up with a solution quickly, Kudo Shinichi, aren't you the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era? Aren't you the savior of the police? Use your wisdom to come up with a solution.

The silent cry for help kept echoing in his mind. Seeing Patrick asking his men to tie bombs to each hostage, Conan couldn't help clenching his fists due to the anxious pressure.

"Idiot and Ye."

Hattori Heiji, who had his hands and feet tied with a bomb, looked at Toyama Kazuha, who looked exactly like him, and cursed calmly. Yuan Shan and Ye snorted slightly after being scolded and turned away to look at him.

"Idiot Heiji, don't forget, I am also the son of a policeman.

The son of Inspector Hattori can volunteer to become a replacement hostage in order to rescue the trapped people, so the daughter of Inspector Toyama will naturally not be a coward. "

When Ginshiro Toyama, the remote commander, knew that his daughter had also revealed her identity and voluntarily became a hostage, he felt a father's worry in his heart, but more importantly, he was proud.

All he ever wanted for his daughter was to grow up safely and happily. A glorious hero who sacrifices himself for others is what many people hope to encounter when facing disaster and despair.

But when that time comes, how many people will choose to become that hero themselves? At least Toyama Ginshiro never expected his daughter to become that kind of person, even if he himself was that kind of person.

"Minister Toyama, we have traced the traces of those circus prisoners."

A policeman from the Ministry of Information reported loudly, and the prisoner's escape route was clearly marked on the electronic map.

"Ask Tachibana Nobutake to follow the whereabouts of this group of prisoners, make sure not to miss anyone, and follow the orders from the head of the department."

"What's the situation now with the two circus leaders who were captured?"

"Minister, the police from Tokyo took away the two suspects ten minutes ago because they involved secrets."

After hearing the news that the Tokyo police had taken people away, Toyama Ginshiro did not make any statement and only mentioned it lightly.

"That's fine too."

Hope everything goes well with Heizang.

In the Central Square of the Universe, at 23:40 Tokyo time, a shower came quietly.

Patrick looked at the time on his wrist, walked up to Mao Lilan, and held up an umbrella for her.

"It's actually raining. It's really rude. Please forgive me, Miss Cinderella. The wonderful show is about to begin."

Outside the iron cage, all the police officers were worried.

Now the agreement in the previous negotiation has been completed, using the only son of the Osaka Police Headquarters as a hostage in exchange, so that the prisoners can release most of the hostages and give up the pursuit of the prisoners who walked out of the iron cage.

But after that, the prisoner leader didn't make any more requests, he just waited in silence.

What kind of situation can make a prisoner holding a heavyweight hostage and carrying a large number of weapons of destruction stop making more valuable negotiation requests? Any senior police officer can answer this question.

Because the prisoner has given up on living, he has achieved his initial goal, and he will complete his final goal at the cost of his life.

The goal is not money, nor is it to escape from this iron cage. The greatest possibility is to be held hostage by the other party.

With an aristocratic smile on his face, Patrick came to the three hostages he had chosen at the beginning and bowed slightly:

"Good evening, you three. I'm sorry that today's performance did not bring you a happy viewing experience.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not the end of the show yet. I believe all three of them have heard that Senluo Circus will invite VIP audiences to participate in the interaction during the last show.

As the lucky ones selected, three will have the honor to participate in the final performance. "

Then, as if he thought of something, Patrick showed a bit of genuine apology on his face:

"The last performance was originally performed by Miss Catherine and Carrot Sauce, the White Tiger Lord you saw on the poster. However, the conditions are poor now, and Miss Catherine and Carrot Sauce are not here, so the last performance was changed to what everyone knows. Let’s play truth and dare.”

After saying that, Patrick picked up the nearest gentleman and old man. After confirming that the other person was standing shivering, he took out the chest of the old man's suit as a decorative pocket towel, wiped his hands casually and threw it to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Takemura. This game is very simple, but the game is slightly different.

First of all, let me introduce myself to you. I am the exclusive translator of Senluo Circus. You can call me Patrick. As a translator, I do not have any performance experience, so you will be the leading actors to complete the last performance.

Time is tight, so I will briefly introduce the rules of the game. The game will take the truth about the death of the legendary magician Philip from the country twelve years ago as the theme of truth.

I can give you an example of how to play it specifically. For example, Mr. Takemura can ask the other party when the magician died. Mrs. Kuromori can answer truth or dare. If Mrs. Kuromori chooses to answer truth, then It will be up to the third Mr. Tanoshi to decide whether Mrs. Kuromori is telling the truth.

If the answer is yes, the game continues. If the answer is no, Mrs. Hesse will be punished for lying. Choosing a big adventure will be judged as escaping the truth and will also need to be punished.

The three identities of asking questions, answering and judging will be alternated by three people. There is no time limit for the game, but I hope to know the truth about the magician’s death, the process, the evidence, and the murderer before 12 o’clock. "

After saying the word murderer, Patrick took off his candy-colored coat, turned it over and put it on his arm. Small flying knives with extremely sharp metallic luster lay quietly sewn on the inner layer of the coat. Each one in a sheath.

Pulling out one at will, the cold light of the cold weapon under the moonlight made the scalps of the three whose names were mentioned tingle. Patrick said with a smile on his face.

"This will be used as a punishment prop in the game. Don't worry, it's very small and won't cause immediate death."

The flying knife dexterously rotated on Patrick's fingertips. After finishing speaking, he turned to Mouri Kogoro and others on the other side and said:

"Mr. Maori, you can also participate. If you can deduce the truth first, I can let you out directly."

After saying that, he turned back and looked at the minute hand of the watch reaching forty-eight minutes. Patrick took two steps back slightly and said seriously:

"It is now eleven forty-eight in the evening in Tokyo, and the last show of the Senro Circus, Truth and Dare: The Death of the Magician Philippe, has officially begun."
