Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Kuroda passed behind the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, who was explaining the situation, and came to the Security Bureau's Counselor, leaning over and whispering something. The Counselor's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned around and shouted, "Prime Minister! NAZU reports that the storage contents cannot be corrected!"

The Prime Minister was shocked: "What did you say?!"

"The signal sent by the ground control center to the probe is encrypted with a specific password. If the password is inconsistent, the stored content cannot be rewritten!"

The detector's stored information could not be rewritten due to inconsistent passwords - Kazami informed Amuro of NAZU's report by phone, and the latter conveyed it to Izumi and Conan.

"Does that mean the criminal changed the password?" Quan Yi asked.

"Ah, just when he illegally accessed NAZU and changed the probe's trajectory!" Amuro said in a heavy tone, "We must get the new password!"

"For this, we need an 'assistant'." Quan Yi touched his chin and said, "I have an idea..."

"What do you want to do?"

Hearing Amuro ask this, Izumi smiled meaningfully, "Resurrect the dead!"

Not only Amuro, Conan also stared with eyes wide open.

Crying like a baby

After receiving Conan's call, the doctor test-flies the modified drone on his roof. All eight propellers spin in unison, and the drone takes off vertically.

"It's amazing that they can come up with such a strategy..." Dr. Agasa exclaimed, "As expected of Izumi!"

"Of course, he is my man!" Xiao Ai raised her chin proudly.

The drone took off in an instant and quickly disappeared into the night sky. Sitting on the spiral escalator leading to the roof, Xiao Ai opened her laptop.

"After the improvement, the speed is even faster than before!"

The doctor looked up at the night sky and proudly operated the drone, and then the drone's aerial footage was displayed on Ai's computer. Although the Agasa family was photographed from above, the picture was blurry and shaky.

"Doctor, the picture keeps shaking. This will prevent the plan from going smoothly."

"Well~ After all, it's my first time flying at night..."

Dr. Agasa was operating the escalator while complaining. At this time, the children who were watching TV got on the spiral escalator.

"Ah! Night flying drones! I want to try it too!"

"Only Doctor, you guys are so cunning!"

"White Bird isn't on TV anymore!"

Ai smiled slightly as she stared at the computer screen. "Yeah, then can I leave it to you guys? It's too unsettling to have the doctor operate it."

"That's great!"

“I’m so excited~!”

The children cheered and left the roof.

"My control is being disliked..."

Seeing Dr. Agasa's dissatisfied face, Xiao Ai smiled nonchalantly and said, "Leave this to the children, let's continue preparing."

The children happily took the remote control that was divided into three parts and posed.

"we are!"

“Drone!”

"Flight Squadron!"

……

The Emergency Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters has been re-established at the Crisis Management Center located on the basement floor of the Prime Minister's Office.

On the big screen: images obtained from the emergency communication system, weather information system and central disaster prevention wireless system were displayed, and ministers and government officials in disaster prevention uniforms were lined up in a long line.

"The above emergency order has been issued to aircraft in controlled airspace and ships in Tokyo Bay and the Pacific Ocean!"

After listening to the report from the Director-General of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the first person to speak was the Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office.

"Aside from a foreign attack, is it possible for us to deploy Aegis or Patriot missile defense systems?"

"The warning and control radar could be used..." The Defense Minister was bewildered by the sudden inquiry. He checked the folder in his hand and said, "We don't have any definitive information yet. It's impossible to engage the enemy after entering the atmosphere."

……

On the Tokyo Gate Bridge across Tokyo Bay, dozens of large personnel carriers carrying evacuees were running in a long line.

Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro Mouri and Eiri, accompanied by Inspector Megure, sat side by side in the seats of the transport vehicle.

"We have now arranged for about 0 people to take refuge in EDGEOFOCEAN, the artificial land in Tokyo Bay." Officer Megure, who was standing next to the driver's seat, said this, and the passengers looked at each other uneasily.

"Where is that?"

"I don't know," the elementary school girl sitting next to them shook her head.

"That!" Sonoko raised her hand. "Is that where the summit is scheduled to take place?"

"That's right. We are going to take refuge in Cassinota."

"Cassinota..." Xiaolan asked with her head tilted.

Yuanzi pointed out the window and said, "Ah, that's it."

On the artificial land across the sea, a spiral-shaped building stands out from the crowd, with dazzling light radiating from its top.

Izumi, Conan and Amuro arrived near the Metropolitan Police Department.

People kept getting on several large personnel transport vehicles parked on the roadside, and there were several empty vehicles abandoned there.

After Amuro stopped the car, Izumi ran towards a building, followed by Conan, who was holding a skateboard, and Amuro, who had locked the car.

Many people in suits poured out of the building. Quan Yi, Conan, and Amuro went into the hall against the crowd. Amuro turned off the screen of his mobile phone and told the two: "NAZU is still insisting on sending the password, but it still can't connect to the detector."

The three of them ran while identifying the people they passed by.

At this moment, a familiar person appeared from the surging crowd. Everyone else was rushing towards the door, but he was the only one strolling towards them, looking at his phone.

Quan Yi stopped.

The moment the man passed him, Quan Yi stretched out his arm and grabbed his sleeve.

The cell phone in the man's hand fell to the ground with a clang. Amuro picked up the fallen phone and turned the screen towards Conan and the others.

The pitch-black screen was filled with numbers and letters, with the huge word "ERROE" displayed in the center.

"This is the data from NAZU's ground control center, Mr. Terrorist Perpetrator."

“?!” The owner of the phone, Kusakabe, looked down in surprise at Izumi who was pulling his sleeve.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Prosecutor Kusakabe." Amuro put down the hand holding the phone.

"...What are you doing!" Kusakabe shook off Izumi's hand.

The staff left one after another, and the lobby of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office gradually became deserted. Before they knew it, only the three of them and Kusakabe were left.

"I should have discovered it long ago when I saw the list of evidence you submitted..." Quan Yi recalled the on-site forensic photos included in the list of evidence.

Among the numbered photos is a photo of a black glass piece with the word "unknown" written on it.

When he saw the photo, Quan Yi felt as if he had seen it somewhere - it was actually the touch screen part of the pressure cooker.

"That piece of glass was part of the actual ignition, and no one knew it except the criminal. Yet you submitted it as evidence, when everyone still believed the ignition was a high-voltage cable!"

"!!" Kusakabe shrank his shoulders in surprise.

At this moment, Quan Yi's phone vibrated, "Perfect timing!"

Quan Yi took out his phone and opened the file attached to the email. "This is the court record for the 'NAZU Illegal Access Incident' that happened last year. You were in charge of it, right?"

Izumi slid the screen and showed him the place where "Prosecutor Kusakabe Makoto" was written.

"I see." Amuro nodded. "The criminal method used in that incident was to use Nor to illegally access..."

"You used the same criminal tactics you once handled to launch a cyber-terrorist attack, didn't you?"

Kusakabe remained silent, but his expression looked very embarrassed.

"But you miscalculated."

"NAZU has developed a system that can track criminals." Conan nodded slightly in agreement with Izumi's statement, and looked at Kusakabe again.

"After learning of this, you used a buggy Nor to access your boss's phone and faked an IoT terrorist attack, causing it to catch fire. This was a decoy designed to lure the police, which is why the timing of the IoT attack was so strange."

As soon as Izumi finished speaking, Kusakabe rushed towards Amuro, grabbed his arm and took back the phone.

"Don't touch my personal belongings!" He bumped into Amuro's chest and ran away. Izumi quickly chased after him, and a moment later Amuro and Conan followed closely behind.

Kusakabe came out of the back door to the parking lot.

"There are traces of him using Nor in that phone!"

"Really!"

What a trouble... With a complaining look on his face, Amuro caught up with Izumi.

Conan, who was also running, noticed an empty can in the green area of ​​the parking lot. He grabbed the can while running and quickly turned the knob of his foot-strengthening shoes.

Kusakabe moved among the parked cars like a needle and thread.

"Don't try to escape, Conan!"

As soon as Izumi finished speaking, Conan kicked the can with all his strength. The can flew straight between the vehicles and hit Kusakabe's arm directly.

"Whoaaah!"

The force of the collision sent Kusakabe plummeting into the green belt, and he rolled onto the lower walkway due to inertia. However, he immediately got up and continued to flee.

"Damn it! It didn't work!"

"no problem!"

Amuro climbed onto the roof of the car by stepping on the hood, jumping over the cars parked in the parking lot. Finally, he used the cars at the edge of the green belt as a stepping stone and made a big jump.

After flying high over the green belt, Amuro landed in front of the running Kusakabe.

"hateful!"

Kusakabe stopped and swung his fist at Amuro, but Amuro quickly dodged, grabbed Kusakabe's hands and shoulders, and threw him down the path, then put his hands behind his back and strangled him.

"Prosecutor Kusakabe, was your motive for carrying out the terrorist attack really to be a public security police officer?!"

Kusakabe frowned in pain and slowly spoke, "...if we blow up the summit venue and let the US probe fall in Tokyo, the prestige of the public security police will plummet!"

"Why do you hate the police so much?"

Kusakabe turned around and glared at Amuro behind him: "As long as your power is not weakened, we, the Public Security Procuratorate, will never be able to achieve justice!"

"Does it not matter if someone dies for the sake of justice?!" Conan asked after catching up.

"I didn't intend to kill civilians!" Kusakabe replied immediately. "That's why I chose the time to detonate the bombing, where only public security police would be present. I chose an IoT terrorist attack where casualties were unlikely, and even chose a spot where the re-entry capsule would drop."

He said this while looking towards the black Metropolitan Police Department building that stood across from the red brick building.

"The Metropolitan Police Department's power outage was also intended to force the civilians inside to evacuate?"

After hearing Izumi's question, Kusakabe nodded, and Amuro let go of Kusakabe's arm.

"I see. You're carrying out an IoT terrorist attack on the road leading here to prevent people from entering..."

"Even so, there is a high possibility that someone will be sacrificed!" Conan shouted.

Kusakabe drooped his head weakly. Hearing Conan's words, Kusakabe glared at him fiercely, "For the sake of justice, there is no way to avoid some sacrifices!"

"That's not justice!" Quan Yi's words were firm and resolute. "If what you call justice requires sacrificing some irrelevant people, then it's not justice at all!"

Having his deepest belief completely denied, Kusakabe collapsed to his knees, hands on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "My... my 'helper' has also sacrificed himself...!"

"Mr. Hanba is indeed your 'assistant'..." Izumi's words made Kusakabe look up in shock, "W-why...why..."

"The unlock code for the cell phone." Izumi recalled the moment when he passed by Kusakabe in the corridor of the Tokyo District Court.

He turned around when he heard the beeping sound of keys and saw Kusakabe entering the five-digit password to unlock the phone screen.

"That's the sound of pressing '88231'. I have perfect pitch, so there's no way I heard it wrong. And this password is so rare that I paid attention to it. You didn't turn off the key tone to remind yourself, right? Remember 'Haba San'..."

"No..." Kusakabe shook his head and pointed at Amuro, "It's because I've carved the desire for revenge against these guys into my bones! !"

Amuro remained unmoved by the hostility directed at him, and replied calmly, "All 'collaborators' of the public security police must be reported to ZERO and managed by number. However, public security detectives are not aware of each other's 'collaborators'. Until last year, I didn't even know that public security prosecutors had 'collaborators'."

"So you just abandon my 'assistant' so easily?" Kusakabe's shoulders were shaking with anger.

Conan said: "I see, there must be something behind this. The theft committed by Mr. Hanba last year..."
