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

Jingzi looked at Yuba on the screen sadly: "You are actually a 'helper' like me..."

Is that why I was attracted to him? -- Jingzi suddenly realized. Maybe, my feelings for Yuba were also the result of manipulation by the public security.

"Everything started with the 'NAZU illegal access incident,' right?"

Izumi asked, and Jingzi nodded.

"The police asked me to get the suspect convicted, so I did some investigation. That's when he was arrested at the gaming company he frequented. I don't know why he would do something like this."

Jingzi, who was walking with her back turned towards Quanyi and the others, suddenly stopped and said, "I desperately begged the police to save him. But in the end... he committed suicide."

Looking from behind, Jingzi's shoulders were trembling slightly. "I hate the public security police. So I closed the office and waited for my chance for revenge as an 'assistant.'"

"That's when you were ordered to defend Maori Kogoro and make him not guilty, right?"

"That's right. I don't know why the police want to exonerate him, but since that's the case, I'm going to convict him."

"Even if it involves people who have nothing to do with it?!"

"There's nothing I can do!" Jingzi turned around abruptly. "I didn't expect he was actually alive and well under the protection of the public security police... If I had known, I wouldn't..."

Jingzi slumped her shoulders, and the moon slowly shone from behind the radio tower in front of her.

"He's your 'assistant' now, right? What's his number?"

"What number?" Quan Yi asked back.

"The police refer to us by numbers behind our backs, right? I'm '2291,' right?" Jingzi's voice trembled, and she clenched her fists tightly. "Then what's his number?!"

When she turned around, she was already in tears.

"Tachibana Keiko." Amuro called her name.

"You don't have to work for the Public Security Police as a 'supplier' anymore—is that okay, Kazami?"

"We have to clean up after illegal activities ourselves. That's how we do public security," Kazami said, tearing a piece of paper from the police manual and handing it to Saeko. "Haba is here. You're free now. We won't stop you from seeing him if you want to."

Snap! Kazami's hand was slapped away, and the note flew into the air.

"Don't be so self-righteous! Being your 'helper' was my own choice! Betraying you was also my own choice! Falling in love with him was also my own choice! Don't think that you are controlling my life!!"

Jingzi cried and denied it loudly. She would never admit that her bumpy life was the result of the police's arbitrary manipulation.

"Goodbye." As if she had said everything she needed to say, Jingzi left the tarmac.

"Realm..." Yu Chang lowered his head and shed tears while listening to the phone that Quan Yi was holding.

Soon after, the screen turned black and Yuba hung up the video call.

Amuro said to Kazami's back: "No matter how much you are hated, you must protect her to the end. This is——"

"That's what we do as public security officers." Kazami turned his head slightly and ran down the tarmac. Izumi, Amuro, and Conan watched him as he chased after Saeko.

"Thanks to you, we were able to arrest the terrorists who defied Japan."

“When did you find out it was a terrorist attack?”

After hearing Izumi's question, Amuro replied, "It's just as you reasoned."

"That day... while inspecting the international conference venue, I discovered that a gas hydrant could be connected to the internet. I thought it could be used to carry out a terrorist bombing, and just as I was giving instructions to the public security forensics team, I was caught in the explosion. However, given the circumstances at the scene, this explosion could also be treated as an accident."

"Then you created a suspect." The suspect was Kogoro Mouri.

"Then the suspect will be transferred as quickly as possible from the police to the public security procuratorate, which is fully under the command of the public security."

"That's why we asked Jingzi-sensei to come here as a lawyer. After the accident theory was completely denied, we allowed Mr. Maori to regain his freedom."

"As expected of a great police officer, Shiraizumi Masu... I wonder how desperate those criminals must have felt when they faced you... You're amazing, you solved all the mysteries." Amuro raised his hands, almost expressing his admiration.

At this moment, Amuro’s phone vibrated, and he pressed the Bluetooth headset to his ear and said, “It’s me.

"...What?! The return capsule?!"

Hearing Amuro's panicked voice, Conan and Izumi turned around, feeling an ominous premonition.

Brother Quan Yi

The new predicted landing point for the return capsule was displayed on a large screen at the crisis management center, and the officer in charge explained, "Due to an unexplained explosion, the return capsule will continue its flight and crash into the artificial landmass in Tokyo Bay."

"One of the artificial landmasses has an EDGEOFOCEAN, and 30,000 people are taking refuge there!"

The Environment Minister's words caused an uproar, and the Defense Minister stood up and said, "It's impossible to fight back!

In the fixed-point observation image displayed on another screen, the lights of cars on the two bridges connecting the artificial land are connected as if they are strung together continuously.

After learning that the new predicted landing point of the return capsule was the artificial land in Tokyo Bay, the police hurriedly moved the people taking refuge in Cassino Tower to another place.

“Please walk slower.

“There’s still plenty of time!”

Detective Takagi and Officer Sato desperately tried to guide the crowd from the second floor of the shopping mall near Casino Tower, but the crowd was already in a state of panic and ignored their words. The exit was blocked, causing chaos.

The parking lot for large transport trucks was also packed with people, and everyone was pushing and shoving to get on the truck first.

"Everyone, please calm down! Just like when we came here, make sure everyone gets on the bus!" Officer Megure shouted through a loudspeaker in front of the patrol car. At this time, Chiba pushed through the crowd and came to him.

"Inspector, because the intelligence is so confusing, many private cars have taken refuge here."

"What?!" Inspector Megure widened his eyes in horror.

"The only two bridges are seriously congested!" At this moment, the terrifying sound of sirens echoed. It was the sound of the National Protection Alarm.

The sirens, like a discordant chant, further incited the fear of the refugees.

In the Casino Tower where Xiaolan is, people flock to the elevator and the overloaded bell rings incessantly.

"Get down quickly!"

"go out!"

After pushing the passengers in front out, the elevator door closed.

"This is bad...it's going to cause a big panic." Kogoro Mouri, who was gathered with Xiaolan and the others at the card table, frowned as he looked at the elevator lobby where people were pushing and shoving each other.

Xiaolan and Sonoko leaned against each other shoulder to shoulder, looking back uneasily out the window.

……

The highways around the Metropolitan Police Department were empty. An RX-7 sped past, with Conan chasing it on his skateboard.

Occasionally, they encountered a few wrecked cars blocking the road, but Amuro didn't slow down at all, barely avoiding them and continuing on his way. Conan even swung his body to weave in and out of the gaps, showing off his skateboarding agility.

"The road ahead is congested!" Quan Yi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shouted while looking at his mobile phone.

"Is the evacuation guidance not going smoothly?" Amuro frowned.

Ahead of them, two trucks were driving side by side.

Amuro chased after them, sprinting off the curb and accelerating as he spun the rear wheels around the corner. With a series of drifting maneuvers, they overtook the cars ahead one by one.

Amuro glanced at the navigation screen. The elevated road ahead turned sharply to the right to avoid the elevated track of the Yurikamome Line, and then continued parallel to it all the way to the artificial land. From the bend, the congestion warning line kept flashing.

Amuro smiled slightly and stepped on the accelerator harder. The speedometer needle trembled and passed 180 mph. Izumi in the passenger seat tightened his seat belt again.

As the car turned the corner, Amuro spotted a trailer at the end of the traffic jam. It was unoccupied, its frame tilted. Meanwhile, on the elevated track running parallel to the highway, the Yurikamome was speeding towards them.

Amuro crossed the straight at breakneck speed and suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply. The RX-7 lifted its left wheel, driving on only the right tire between the vehicles on the stranded road, then accelerated and jumped onto the trailer frame. Passing the sidewall, the RX-7 landed on the roof of the Yurikamome.

The RX-7 raced relentlessly across the Yurikamome's carriage, leaping onto the opposite track. With a loud bang, Quan Yi's body was thrown back up.

The congestion on the Metropolitan Expressway extended all the way to the bridge over Tokyo Bay. Leaving the blocked Metropolitan Expressway behind, the RX-7 began to speed along the tracks of the Yurikamome Line.

The open parachute was tattered by the explosion, and the return capsule fell rapidly in the darkness.

Suddenly, one of the parachute ropes broke.

After the parachute lost its balance, the remaining ropes broke one after another, and the return capsule, which had broken free from the parachute, shot towards the artificial land like a bullet.

After the RX-7 drove onto the bridge, Quan Yi opened the window and stuck his head out to look in the direction of the artificial land.

(Is that the Casino Tower?)

Among the densely packed buildings, a high tower with a spiral design is particularly eye-catching.

"Mr. Furuya!"

Izumi pulled his head back as Kazami's voice came through the speaker. The navigation system's screen showed a hands-free call going on, and it was Kazami calling.

"The return capsule's parachute has fallen off! Accelerating!"

"!!Then what?"

"NAZU has calculated the predicted landing point! At this rate, it will hit Cassino Tower in five minutes!"

"How is it possible——" Conan, who was following on a skateboard, couldn't believe it. Xiaolan and the others were on the Casino Tower——!

"orchid……"

“I’ll send you the data!”

The call was disconnected, and Conan immediately looked at Quan Yi, "Brother Quan Yi, Xiao Lan is still upstairs! What should I do? What should I do?!"

Quan Yi was about to say something when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a flash of light.

Those were the headlights of the Yurikamome approaching from the front.

"Mr. Amuro!"

Conan also noticed it and shouted a warning to Amuro.

"Officer Bai, hold on tight! Conan, follow me closely!"

Quan Yi immediately grabbed the seat tightly, and Conan also squatted down to lower his center of gravity, making it easier to control the skateboard.

Turning his head slightly, Izumi saw the smile on Amuro's face as he held the steering wheel. It was a smile that showed that he had made up his mind to give it his all.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

Just before Quan Yi could make a horrified expression, Amuro suddenly changed gears and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Flames were spewing from the exhaust of the speeding RX-7, and the Yurikamome was gradually approaching. Quan Yi was dizzy from the headlights.

It was about to collide - even with Quan Yi's courage, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

However, just before the head-on collision, the RX7 turned to the left of the Yurikamome and drove on the sidewall with one tire.

“Here it is!!”

Amuro swerved to the left, and the RX7 slid off the sidewall and quickly landed on another track below. Behind it, another Yurikamome was approaching—!

Amuro immediately adjusted the RX-7's stance and stepped on the accelerator. Just as the collision was about to occur, the RX-7 began to accelerate, increasing the distance between it and the Yurikamome.

Quan Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Amuro, who is Fujiwara Takumi to you... No matter how you look at it, this is too strong..."

. ....... 0

Amuro definitely didn't understand Izumi's joke. He frowned and said, "This Fujiwara Takumi that Officer Bai mentioned... is he an agent from somewhere? I don't know him... But what should we do next?"

Quan Yi smiled and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, Quan Yi operated his mobile phone and searched for high-rise buildings, checking them one by one.

"Go to this building under construction!"

He turned his phone towards Amuro, and on the screen was a photo of the International Conference Center after the explosion, which had been published on a news website. Next to the International Conference Center, where black smoke was rising, was a building under construction.

"Okay!" Amuro instantly understood Izumi's intention. He smiled knowingly and drove the car quickly towards the destination. Behind the car was Conan, who was following closely on a skateboard.

……

Many people were still waiting in front of the elevator at the center of the tower. The elevator kept going up and down, but with so many people, it was barely enough to move.

Kogoro Mouri was also waiting in line for the elevator. He stood there as if to protect Xiaolan and the others.

"Don't get separated."

"Ah."

Police officers urged people to calm down and tried to persuade them to get on the elevator first.

"Things seem to be getting really serious..." Yingli muttered to herself as she looked at the crowd gathered in front of the elevator.

After arriving at EDGEOFOCEAN, Amuro drove to the building under construction and drove the car directly onto the freight elevator. Conan got off the skateboard, and Izumi Masu squeezed into the passenger seat.
