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

"yes……"

"Just like we all regard Sato as the police beauty, Sato, you have no self-awareness at all."

"Eh? What on earth is this..."

"Don't you know? Shiratori even secretly set up a fan club specifically for you, Satou Miwako. Not only Shiratori, but also Takagi, has always had a crush on you. Everyone knows it. Don't tell me you don't know anything?"

"Hey hey hey - I really don't know!" Sato Miwako was suddenly embarrassed and her face turned red.

"Now you know...what do you think?"

"What do I think? I don't have any ideas. Inspector Shiro, what about you? Are you the same as Shiratori and Takagi?"

"Yes, yes... I've been looking for an opportunity to invite you out for dinner, and this time I finally got the chance."

"You're so straightforward! But I really don't have the courage to fall in love right now..."

Miwako Sato once had a close friend who was more than a friend but less than a lover, but he died in a bombing three years ago. After this blow, Miwako Sato has lost the desire to fall in love.

"Haha... Sato, don't get me wrong, I don't want you to fall in love with me now." Baiquan Yi said.

"Of course... We don't know much about it." Sato Miwako paused. "Enough of the jokes. You said you wanted to know about the bombing three years ago, so I'll tell you now."

"I'm all ears." Bai Quanyi returned to his serious expression.

Miwako Sato was silent for a while, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. After a while, she slowly said, "This story started seven years ago. At that time, the Metropolitan Police Department also received a fax from the criminals. Bombs were placed in two high-end apartments. The criminals demanded 1 billion yen and also made a condition that if any residents were evacuated, the bombs would be detonated immediately.

One of the bombs was defused, but the other was more complicated, so we had no choice but to agree to the criminals' demands. At first, the criminals used a remote control to stop the timer of the detonator, and then we evacuated all the residents. We thought the incident was over, but..."

"Did an accident happen?" Bai Quanyi asked.

"Yeah," Sato Miwako nodded. "Thirty minutes later, the gangster called us and said the bomb timer was still ticking. What's going on? He probably saw the replay on TV and misunderstood the situation and kindly reminded us. The police thought it was a good opportunity, so they extended the conversation and secretly tracked down the location of the call...

During the arrest, the gangster accidentally ran out into the road and was hit by a car. We thought the matter was over, but the bomb went off again, killing several members of the demolition team. That’s when we realized there was more than one gangster. Although we later found the gangster’s address, the other gangster had disappeared without a trace.

"So that's how it is. In that case, the other gangster might have been at the scene as well. He saw his companion being hit and killed by a car, and mistakenly thought that it was you police who spread false information on TV and set a trap to capture his companion..." Bai Quanyi said.

"Yes, that's roughly what happened." A trace of sadness flashed in Sato Miwako's eyes, and she continued, "From that day on, we received a fax every November 7th. Three years ago on November 1st, a member of the blasting team named Matsuda Jinpei was transferred to our team. Later I learned that Matsuda Jinpei had always wanted to investigate what happened seven years ago and avenge his good friend. In order to calm him down, the higher-ups transferred him to our team to let him rest, but he didn't expect that incident to happen again. On November 7th, we received the fax as usual, but this time was different.

"I am a Knight of the Round Table. I would like to inform all the ignorant and cunning police officers that today at noon and 14 p.m., I will set off interesting fireworks to commemorate the heads of my comrades. If you want to stop me, please come to me. I have reserved seat 72 for you. I am waiting for your presence."

"Is this a notice?" Bai Quanyi's expression changed slightly.

"Yes." Sato Miwako nodded.

Shiraizumi frowned slightly and said, "Knights of the Round Table, 72 empty seats, the large Ferris wheel in Haido Town, the bomb is there!"

"As expected, I can't hide it from you, Inspector Shiro." Sato Miwako has always admired Shiraizumi Masu's ability. "Your reasoning is correct. The bomb is in one of the 72 pods of the Ferris wheel, but... there are two bombs, and the clue is only the location of this one bomb. The address of the other bomb only hints at the Knights of the Round Table, which are knights in a medieval setting. At that time, most knights wore helmets with crosses. Guess where the other bomb is."

"Hospital, the cross represents the hospital, and the bomb is in the hospital," Bai Quanyi said. Hospitals across the country have cross marks.

"That's right. Although we knew the bomb was in the hospital, we didn't know the exact address. Later, when Officer Matsuda was planning to dismantle the bomb, he found a hint from the criminals on the bomb. (Wang Haozhao) If you want to dismantle this bomb immediately, another bigger bomb will explode. If you want to know the location, there will be a hint of the address of the other bomb 3 seconds before this bomb explodes."

Sato Miwako bit her lip and continued, "Later, in order to protect the public, Officer Matsuda saw the prompt in the 3-second countdown that the bomb was at Beika Central Hospital, but he couldn't come back..."

"It seems that the criminals set up the bomb to avenge their companions and their purpose is to target our police!" Bai Quanyi said.

"That's why I think this explosion is related to the explosion three years ago." Sato Miwako said in a deep voice.

The bombing incident three years ago has always been a knot in her heart, and Matsuda's death was a great blow to her.

Jinpei Matsuda could have chosen to escape, but he didn't. Instead, he sacrificed himself for the people of Beika Central Hospital.

Thinking of this, Sato Miwako's nose felt sore, and she felt sad for Matsuda Jinpei's departure... He was such a good person!

149. Jinpei Matsuda died because of his own stupidity

The next afternoon, Miwako Sato walked into Shiraizumi Masu's office.

Miwako Sato was wearing a purple OL work suit, and her slender thighs in black high heels were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, which immediately attracted Shiraizumi Mashi's attention. Her heroic face was topped by beautiful short hair, and she looked heroic and extremely capable.

She took a deep breath and said, "Superintendent Bai, the Metropolitan Police Department just received a fax from the criminals."

Bai Quanyi nodded and said, "Let me see it."

Shiraizumi Masu took the fax from Sato Miwako and quickly browsed the contents.

"I'm a major league batter, and the extra innings have begun! The signal to start the game is tomorrow at noon, and it ends at 3 p.m. Even if you prepare high-quality brakes, it will be useless because I will still turn the tide in the end!

If you want to stop the game, come to my side!

I'm in the steel batter's box, waiting for you police officers to ascend the blood-stained mound."

Bai Quanyi said: "It seems that the criminals will start their operation at 12 noon tomorrow and end at 3 pm."

Miwako Sato said, "Inspector Bai, what should we do now?"

Bai Quanyi said: "Well... I will activate the first level alarm first, and then think about the location where the criminals set the bomb."

At the Metropolitan Police Department's command center, Bai Quanli pressed the level one alarm. All departments and units of the Metropolitan Police Department received the message, and under the command of the captains of each unit, police cars were dispatched.

After giving the order, Shiraizumi Mashi brought Sato Miwako to the cafe.

In the cafe, Miwako Sato and Masushi Shiraizumi were looking at a map of Tokyo together, studying the possible locations where the criminal might have set the bomb.

Miwako Sato thought about it for a long time but still had no clue, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

"Inspector Bai, I'm sorry. You 637 asked me to study the secret code of the criminals alone, but I can't help you."

"It's okay, I'll find a way. I just want you to stay with me, Satou."

Hearing what Shiraizumi said, Sato Miwako couldn't help but feel shy. Shiraizumi didn't ask other girls to accompany him, but chose her. There must be a reason.

At this time, the waiter brought a refill of coffee.

Miwako Sato took a sip to refresh herself: "Inspector Bai, have you come up with any ideas now?"

Bai Quanyi said: "Judging from the overtime in the code, it is very likely that Nanbeihu Station will be here."

"Why?" Sato Miwako frowned.

"In the explosion three years ago, the bombs were placed at the Ferris wheel in Haido Town and the Beika Central Hospital respectively. The roads facing these two places intersect at this station when extended," explained Shiraizumi Masu.

"That means the bomb is at Minamihaeto Station," said Miwako Sato.

"No." Shiraizumi shook his head. "Judging from the steel batter's box, it might be referring to the iron box, that is, the train car. Climbing up to the blood-stained pitcher's mound, it might be referring to the red car body. So the most likely thing is that there is a bomb in the car of the Touto train from Minamihaeto Station to Tokyo."

"The analysis makes sense. This possibility is very high." Sato Miwako also agreed with this statement and immediately took out her mobile phone to call the Metropolitan Police Department.

Outside Nanbeihu Station, police cars rushed to the scene. The bombing team got off the car and quickly headed for the Dongdu train. A police officer discovered a bomb and members of the bombing team immediately went to check it out.

However, the bomb began to emit smoke like fireworks. The member was startled and when he saw no more movement, he went forward to check carefully and found that the bomb was fake.

Although the bomb was fake, the police did not let their guard down. This was just one of the carriages, and there were many other carriages that had not been checked, and there were also many red Dongdu trains.

The police were certain of one thing: the code was correct and the bomb was on the Dongdu train line.

Soon, Sato Miwako received feedback and told Shiraizumi Masu the news.

"Officer Bai, your reasoning is correct, but the bomb is fake. The criminals are playing tricks on us!"

"No... there's another possibility, which is Tokyo Tower."

"Eh? Why is it the Touto Tower?"

"The iron batter's box refers to the Touto Tower, and the blood-stained pitcher's mound refers to the elevator. The bomb is inside the elevator."

Miwako Sato's eyes lit up: "It must be the Tokyo Tower. I'll notify the others immediately."

"No, don't notify anyone else yet. If the criminals realize we've figured out their plan, they might just explode the bomb out of desperation, and that would be troublesome."

"What should I do?"

Sato Miwako asked anxiously.

"I'll go over and check the situation first. Anyway, the criminals will detonate the bomb tomorrow." Bai Quanyi said.

"I'll go too!" Sato Miwako immediately followed Shiraizumi Masu.

The Tokyo Tower is primarily used to transmit radio waves for television and radio broadcasts, signal JR trains to stop in the event of a major earthquake, and serves as a navigational beacon, measuring wind direction and speed, and measuring temperature. Standing 332 meters tall, with portions of its exterior painted red, the tower features a large observation deck at 150 meters and a special glass observation deck at 249.9 meters, offering panoramic views of Tokyo.

Directly below the tower is the four-story Tokyo Tower, which has entrances and exits to the observation deck, as well as the Tokyo Tower Aquarium and a small shop selling various souvenirs.

At night, the Dongdu Iron Tower is brightly lit, presenting a magnificent scene. At this moment, there is a bustling scene below the tower.

Miwako Sato looked up at the Toudou Tower and pondered, "The outer layer of the Toudou Tower is marked with a red symbol, which fits the blood-stained meaning in the code, and climbing up is almost the same as taking an elevator."

"Sato, let's pretend to be a couple and go into the Tokyo Tower to check. Be careful not to reveal any flaws and let the criminals know that we are detectives." Baiquan Yi reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm not a child." Sato Miwako obediently put her arm around Shiraizumi Masu's arm, acting like Shiraizumi's girlfriend.

) meaning.

It's 9 o'clock in the evening, and Tokyo Tower is about to close.

At this time, the staff of the watchtower were reminding tourists that the Dongdu Tower was about to close, and the tourists walked towards the elevator on their own initiative.

There are three elevators in the Dongdu Tower. One of the elevators is covered with a layer of blue cloth and has a maintenance warning sign hanging on it. There are also two staff members standing guard outside.

In the elevator, Bai Quanyi stood on the ladder, opened the emergency safety door on the top, climbed up, looked left and right, did not see any suspicious objects, closed the door, and shook his head at Sato Miwako.

All the tourists in the Toudou Tower had left. In the second elevator, Conan climbed up again and looked around. The digital timer with red light was part of the bomb device.

Bai Quanyi held his breath, took out the signal blocker, and installed it in the iron tower, completely blocking the signal in the tower.

Not only were the signals from the remote-controlled bombs blocked, but also the signals from the eavesdropping devices on the tower and from inside and outside the surrounding elevators.

In the elevator, Miwako Sato looked anxiously at Shiraizumi Masu above the elevator. Shiraizumi Masu reached out his hand and shushed Miwako Sato, indicating her not to make any noise.

Then, Bai Quanyi began to dismantle the bomb. He released energy, analyzed the structure of the bomb, and then cut the fuse that controlled the bomb's detonation, completing the bomb disposal operation.

I have to say, the original plot of the Japanese police was really stupid. They knew it was a remote-controlled bomb, but they didn't know to install a signal jammer. Matsuda Jinpei died heroically, half of which was due to his own stupidity.

Shiraizumi pulled out his phone and notified his men to begin finishing work, ensuring the bomb on Tokyo Tower had been defused.

Miwako Sato asked, "Inspector Bai, is it over?"

Bai Quanyi said, "There is another place. Let's go."

Shiraizumi Masu drove Sato Miwako to Teitan High School.

"Why Teitan High School?" Sato Miwako wondered. There was no hint about the school on the code.

"I'm a major league batter, and the extra innings have begun! The signal to start the game is tomorrow at noon, and it ends at 3 p.m. Even if you prepare high-quality brakes, it will be useless because I will still turn the tide in the end!

If you want to stop the game, come to my side!

I'm in the steel batter's box, waiting for you police officers to ascend the blood-stained mound."

Bai Quanyi read the contents of the criminals' warning letter, then chuckled and said, "Major league players refer to baseball, which is directly called professional baseball in Tokyo. But the criminals used major league players because they wanted us to translate the code into English."

"English?" Sato Miwako was stunned.

Shiraizumi explained: "High-quality brakes refer to pitchers with good defensive rates. The English abbreviation for extra innings is Extra-inning-game, abbreviated as EXTRA, and the English abbreviation for defensive rate is ERA. So even if you prepare high-quality brakes, it will be useless. In other words, remove the useless ERA from EXTRA, and only XT will be left."

The code says I will eventually reverse the situation. It means that after arranging XT up and down, it will become the word "wen", which is the symbol of the school on the map -"

Sato Miwako's expression shifted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "This kind of code... Inspector Bai, how on earth did you come up with it?"

Sato Miwako felt it was unbelievable that the criminals had come up with such a secret code on the spur of the moment, and it was only Baiquan Yi who could decipher it.

Miwako Sato said, "But...why Teitan High School?"

Bai Quanyi said: "Uh... just intuition——"

Sato Miwako pursed her lips and said, "I understand. The code designed by the criminals from the beginning is a code that is impossible to decipher. Inspector Bai, you must have learned the location of the bomb from other channels."

Shiraizumi Masu laughed heartily: "Sato, you are really smart. Apart from me, you are the smartest person in the Metropolitan Police Department."

Miwako Sato said, "Ah... If Jinpei Matsuda was as smart as Inspector Shiro, he wouldn't have sacrificed himself."

Matsuda Jinpei's sacrifice for the people is truly heroic. However, if Matsuda Jinpei had been smarter, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself.

150. Pretend to be a couple with Sato Miwako

Shiraizumi Masushi and Sato Miwako quietly entered Teitan High School and quickly discovered the bomb stored in the school's warehouse. Shiraizumi first used a signal jammer to block Teitan High School's signal, then proceeded to defuse the bomb. Afterwards, he notified his men to arrive and finish the job. Unknowingly, the bombing case was resolved.

Miwako Sato said, "We finally found the bomb, thanks to you, Inspector Bai."

Shiraizumi Masu said, "This is our job. You've worked hard, too, Sato."

Miwako Sato said: "No, I didn't do anything."

Bai Quanyi said, "Next, I want to go visit Shiratori. I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. 8610%64^74!6"
