In the screen belonging to Miwako Sato.
Natsume sat next to Miwako Sato and talked to her. In the background, the street scene of Tokyo flashed by, and the vehicles were obviously moving at high speed.
"Take a look~"
"To upgrade my administrator privileges, I need to get Xia Ye closer to these girls—"
0 ··Requesting flowers 0 ··
Tomoko Suzuki stretched lazily, a dangerous smile flashing in her beautiful blue eyes:
"Why not invite all these girls to a secluded place, create an impromptu scene with hallucinogenic drugs and aphrodisiacs, then throw Xia Ye into the middle of them? Tsk tsk, I wonder if Xia Ye can hold out~"
such a pity!
This simple and crude method won't work!
Given Xia Ye's personality.
And the place those girls held in his heart.
If I did that...
They're definitely not going to get away with this!
Hey!
........
Xia Ye was unaware that Suzuki Tomoko was almost planning to throw him an Impart.
He and Miwako Sato got off the cable car.
The crystal house was recently built.
Just like Tomoko Suzuki said.
The artificial island is not yet officially open for business.
Only the banquet hall located a dozen meters below the sea surface has become so popular that it has started a trial operation. However, it only accepts reservations and the prices are not cheap!
"fair enough!"
Xia Ye glanced at the Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit and the elite officers from the First Division following behind her.
"That way, even if those bombs explode in the end, no innocent people will be harmed. The Suzuki Group will only lose a crystal, but they're so wealthy they won't care too much."
Xia Ye looked at the Crystal Tower, which was shining with golden light in the sunlight, and smiled. "If this thing really explodes, will Tomoko give me a kickback?"
...... . 0
After all, she can earn a hundred billion!
"Xia Ye, let's get down to business!"
The Matsumoto manager had a strange expression on his face.
When Xia Ye was on the phone with Suzuki Tomoko, she didn't hide it from him and Sato Miwako, so they naturally heard that Shui Jing had already bought full accident insurance from Ooka Insurance.
If the crystal explodes, the Suzuki Group will make a profit of 100 billion yen, while the Ooka Group, the third largest conglomerate, will lose 300 billion yen.
He now strongly suspects that Xia Ye might have secretly let Ze Muping succeed in the bombing, since judging from Xia Ye's conversation with Mrs. Suzuki, his relationship with the Suzuki Group seems to be very good.
Have you contacted the people at the banquet hall in the sea?
"I've already contacted them."
Xia Ye's expression turned serious, and she said solemnly:
"I contacted the manager of the underwater banquet hall, and he said the atmosphere there is very harmonious. Everyone is chatting and laughing together. Ze Muhei even brought several bottles of top-quality red wine, and they are currently holding a wine tasting."
"It seems we still have some time!"
Manager Matsumoto relaxed a little. It was 2:30 pm. Sawaki Kohei was obviously a very ritualistic person. Even if he were to kill someone, he wouldn't be too hasty. He probably wouldn't make a move before the wine tasting ended!
Explosives Disposal Team!
"Go check the upper layer of the crystal, be careful!"
"Yes!"
The fully armed bomb disposal team quietly entered the Crystal Building to confirm whether a bomb had been planted there!
"Others—"
"and many more!"
Xia Ye waved her hand, interrupting Manager Matsumoto's instructions, and said with a relaxed smile:
"I can go in alone. Let me observe the situation first. If I can control Ze Mu Gongping directly, things will be simple. If not, it will be easy for me to retreat alone!"
"Xia Ye!"
The Matsumoto manager was suddenly moved!
Xia Ye deduced that the murderer intended to use explosives to destroy the crystal, so he couldn't possibly be unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Even so, he still decided to take on such a dangerous mission alone. What kind of spirit is that?
Matsumoto Kiyoshi dared to say that among the young people in the Metropolitan Police Department... no, among all the people in the Metropolitan Police Department combined, there are definitely no more than ten people with the same level of awareness as Natsume!
He was truly shocked!
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
Xia Ye remained calm.
He had assessed it in his mind.
Even if the water crystal were to be destroyed like in the original storyline, with his strength, escaping from a depth of more than ten meters underwater would be no problem at all.
So he offered to go alone.
On one hand, she didn't want these Metropolitan Police Department officers to die unexpectedly; on the other hand, if something really happened, those officers would be a complete burden, and Xia Ye couldn't be bothered to take them along! II.
Chapter 161 Miwako Sato's Unauthorized Actions
The explosives disposal team is making unexpectedly fast progress!
"Commander, explosives detected!"
The leader of the explosives disposal team that was dispatched came to report in person, and Manager Matsumoto could tell just by looking at the expression on his face how serious the situation had become!
"Quantity? Type of explosives?"
"We found seventeen bombs in just the first and second floors. The bombs have no timers, but we can see obvious signal receivers, so they must be remotely controlled. Commander, there are too many of these bombs. One shift of us simply cannot defuse them all in a short time. You need to be prepared for them to explode at any moment!"
The leader of the explosives handling team looked grave.
The implication is that either you quickly eliminate the murderer with the remote control, or try your best to evacuate the people inside the water crystal. As for the water crystal, there's no way to save it; it's just waiting to die!
"asshole!"
Manager Matsumoto's face was dark, and his eyes were filled with anger:
"Are the explosives control department blind? How did a mere sommelier like Zeki Kohei manage to get his hands on so many remote-controlled bombs?"
"Matsumoto Management Officer~"
"Now is not the time to talk about these things!" - 610 Office
Xia Ye wasn't surprised at all. That's just how illogical Conan is. Maybe there's a department store selling ready-made bombs somewhere in Beika Town. Otherwise, how could anyone buy bombs in Beika Town?
not to mention.
This is a theatrical version!
If there hadn't been a loud, booming explosion.
How can they even have the nerve to call themselves a theatrical release?
"I'm off first! Don't worry, controlling Sawaki Kohei is a piece of cake—"
After Xia Ye finished speaking, she looked at the captain of the explosives disposal team and asked, "Are you sure all those bombs were remote-controlled and not timed or delayed ones?"
"Nothing has been found yet!"
The captain said very cautiously:
"However, this time the murderer probably bought ready-made bombs. The manufacturing methods of those bombs are all the same, and they are from the same batch, so it is very likely that the murderer only bought remote-controlled types."
"never mind!"
Xia Ye waved her hand.
Turn around and walk towards the elevator leading to the banquet hall in the sea:
"I can't control that much anymore!"
"Let's go down and take a look first!"
"Xia Ye!"
"be careful!"
Watching Xia Ye's retreating figure, Matsumoto's goodwill towards him soared. Just look at the cases Xia Ye had handled since joining the Metropolitan Police Department; apart from the slightly bloody methods on Tsukikage Island, which other case hadn't he handled flawlessly?
Especially now.
Facing a building that could explode at any moment.
He rushed in without hesitation!
That resolute figure seemed incredibly tall, and everyone around, from the evacuated explosives disposal team to the officers from the First Division who had known Xia Ye for several days, looked at him with deep respect!
"Sato, quickly take a picture!"
Manager Matsumoto gave instructions to those around him.
Because today's operation was a secret, no reporters were brought along. Of course, these memorable moments should be preserved for publicity!
"They're filming!"
“Crack, click, click—!”
A very professional camera shutter sounded.
Manager Matsumoto turned around abruptly, only to find that Sato Miwako, who had been standing next to him, was gone. In her place was a very beautiful female reporter who was taking pictures of Natsume's back with a camera in her hand!
"you are?"
Manager Matsumoto frowned.
What are the people who blocked the docks for?
How could they let people in so easily?
"Nishino Ruri, a reporter for the Nichiuri Shimbun—"
The beautiful reporter, Nishino Ruri, who had been given food by Suzuki Tomoko, smiled but also spoke with great tact:
"Matsumoto, you certainly have a good memory! I interviewed you last time. Oh, right! This is my media license~"
"Hmm~"
Matsumoto, the superintendent, glanced at the media pass in Nishino Ruri's hand. The pass was signed by Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi; with this pass, she could basically cover all Metropolitan Police Department operations. Not only could he not stop her, but even Chief Odagiri couldn't easily stop her...
However, considering Superintendent Moroboshi's certain inclination towards the Suzuki Group, it's quite reasonable that a mere reporter could obtain such credentials. It seems the prominent lady of the Suzuki Group shares the same idea as the Metropolitan Police Department, and this beautiful reporter is doing just that.
"No interviews are allowed until the police operation is over!"
"understand!"
"I know the rules!"
Ruri Nishino took a few photos, and once Natsume's figure disappeared into the crystal, she stood obediently to the side, not disturbing the Metropolitan Police Department's work at all.
Manager Matsumoto nodded inwardly. As expected of someone sent by the Suzuki Group, they were meticulous in their work and didn't cause trouble; it was indeed difficult to dislike them.
but--
Where is Sato?
Where did Sato go?
