Chapter 476 Explosion

"So why are we sitting here."

Belmod looked at Curaçao who was standing above the conference room explaining the situation, and then turned his attention to the ingredients and elementary school utensils placed in front of the three of them, and put their heads together to whisper.

"I remember it was the old man on crutches who immediately pulled us in after seeing Conan."

Xiaolan poked Conan: "Who is that old man?"

Although we saw him at the banquet yesterday, due to the farce in the middle, no one introduced who this old man was to the banquet participants. Xiaolan only guessed that he was very powerful among the police.

"It's Kaori's grandfather."

"Eh?!"

So far, the one-horned girl has only met Yuzuki's father, and has not yet met Kaori's family. When Conan said that this old man was Kaori's grandfather, Xiaolan rubbed her hands nervously.

At present, the elders of the Kudo family and the Mori family are not in the country, and Conan is like this. After all, she is the only one who can represent the Yuji family.

[By the way, does this old man know that Yuji and the other three faked their disappearance? Will he be angry with him...]

"But don't worry, this old man is pretty good."

The old man stared at the primary school student with sharp eyes, which stimulated him to sit up straight and listen to the analysis of what happened.

"Just now, a medium-sized bus parked at the door of the Miwa Suzuki Bank building, and then more than thirty middle-aged men holding submachine guns immediately closed the door, took hostages and retreated to the fifth floor."

"Suzuki Bank?"

Minami Masamune immediately raised his hand and asked doubtfully: "I remember that the Suzuki Consortium does not have a bank."

Yuki Amami nodded, and immediately stuck a new report sheet on the whiteboard with a magnet: "This is the recently built building of the Suzuki Consortium. It is probably for a new pilot project in the financial system, and it is only a part of Suzuki. The customer system conducts trial operations of financial functions such as fund storage.”

She took out a stack of white paper from the clipboard and distributed it to every policeman sitting: "This is the list of people currently being held as hostages, as well as the amounts stored in Suzuki Bank."

"What?"

Nan Zhengzong couldn't believe his ears. If the people around him hadn't looked at the form at hand in shock, he would have thought that his ears were broken.

"Let me confirm first, the kidnapping and intimidation incident happened just an hour ago, right?"

While rubbing his wrist, Minami Masamune quietly kicked Mr. Yoshioka next to him.

(This guy is really awesome. Where did you find him?)

(Hmm...picked it up on the road?)

"Hey, to be precise, it was fifty-eight minutes ago. If you don't count the time when the gangsters drove away the hostages, it was fifty-four minutes."

Tianhai Yuxi heard the sound at the door of the conference room, and ran to the door and opened it, letting people outside come in.

"Hattori Minister."

Minami Masamune and Mr. Yoshioka stood up holding on to the table, and saw the two heads standing up. Everyone behind them also stood up, and they also noticed Mita Nobuno and Nogami Kazuka who were following Hattori Heizo.

"Police department."

After everyone on both sides confirmed their superior positions, the Police Traffic Division and Police Mobility Division became quiet.

"Minister Hattori, this matter is a case of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and there is no need for senior officials from Osaka to get involved yet."

Although Minami Masamune didn't say anything, as an unpleasant deputy chief of the police department, Mr. Yoshioka had no choice but to finish his unpleasant words.

"The same goes for our police department. Unless the situation is so serious that the police mobile team and the criminal department cannot make a decisive judgment, we will step in to coordinate."

The current analysis and research here are simply to prevent problems before they happen.

"I know, so the specific situation will be communicated to you after the meeting."

Holding his chest, Hattori Heiji leaned against the wall and motioned to Yuki Amami on the podium to continue.

"In addition to demanding 50 billion in old banknotes for extortion, the suspect also added an inmate from the prison."

Curacao pasted a photo on the whiteboard and magnified it through a large screen projection, revealing a picture of a thin prisoner with long hair.

"This prisoner's name is Makoto Furukawa. He was arrested four years ago in Aido Land for planting bombs and maliciously threatening the police." Curacao showed another photo of a handsome male police officer, looking slightly towards Kazuki Nogami. Look there.

"In addition, he is also suspected to be the main culprit in the Asai bombing seven years ago. However, judging from this hijacking incident, it seems that he is just a scapegoat promoted by this huge criminal group."

Although he killed a policeman and added a terrorist attack, Furukawa was still not sentenced to death, but to a trivial fifteen years in prison.

"That's true."

Conan nodded. He once went to the prison with Matsuda Jinpei to visit Furukawa, and he also judged this fact at that time. Four years ago, even though the Metropolitan Police Department tried its best, it was still unable to arrest the criminal group responsible for the bombing.

However, the arrest of Makoto Furukawa resulted in no similar cases occurring in the past four years, indicating that Makoto Furukawa was probably an upper-middle-class figure among them.

Although I had doubts about the organization, I soon dismissed the idea. Conan believes that the organization does not put revenge on the police as its first priority.

"What about the Metropolitan Police Department's response?"

Mr. Yoshioka bent down and said: "They should have taken Furukawa out of prison."

"Yes." Curacao's eyes flashed a few times in an instant, and then immediately returned to their original state: "Although Furukawa Shin insisted that he had successfully changed his face, he never told the police about the leader behind the scenes and the bomb provider."

So among the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, they all agreed that Furukawa Shin had nothing worth prying into, so it would be better to shine and exchange those hostages back.

"The conditions given by the criminals are that 50 billion will be paid in installments, in the order of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 500 yen and 100 yen. And before dark, Furukawa Shin will be sent to the Suzuki Finance Building. The former will release 20 people each time, and the latter will release half at once."

In other words, if you want to survive this time, you have to be lucky.

"Can we send a mobile unit down from the upper floor to rescue people?"

Minami Masamune pointed to the picture in the photo: "In this case, the rooftop is a relatively standard top, so if nothing goes wrong, there will be some empty space, which can allow the mobile police to hang themselves down from the top floor and then take action."

"The criminals asked the two surrounding streets to temporarily close their businesses, so we can't send the police to the Finance Building."

Amami Yuki closed the information, thought about it, and said a fact that no one wanted to hear, that is, they can only follow the criminals for the time being, and then try to get more opportunities to rescue people.

"The police who talked to the Metropolitan Police Department have been confirmed, and it is Matsuda Jinpei from the Investigation Division."

Curaçao put his hands on his hips and said: "The mobile unit is on standby two blocks away."

All the funds requested by the criminals are provided by the Suzuki Group, and the current police can only hope that the criminals are a man of their words.
