"Great! Take a photo with the beautiful Aunt Kiyoko!" The three little ones also looked at Huiyuan Ai beside them excitedly and asked excitedly: "Xiao Ai! Shall we go too?"
"Uh, you guys just go."
Unable to bear the enthusiasm of these three people, Haibara Ai moved slightly to the side.
"I'll wait for you here..."
"How can this be possible! Let's go! Let's go together!"
However, the three little ones did not give her the option to refuse. They simply pulled her up and jumped off the seat.
"Hey, wait, you guys..."
Just like that, at the invitation of Kiyoko Igarashi, Mori and his party came to the hall near the main entrance, where a staff member with a camera was already waiting.
"Okay! Stand in two rows. Don't run around, little devils. Stand in front!"
Suzuki Sonoko skillfully directed the three excited little ones. Everyone stood in the appropriate position, facing the camera and smiling.
Among them, only Kogoro Mori had a bitter face.
As for the reason...
"Detective Maori, please smile more happily, otherwise the film will not look good."
Hearing what the staff said, Kogoro Maori sighed in disappointment, shook his head, and then grinned and put on an exaggerated smile.
"Okay, and that cute little girl, why don't you take off your mask?"
"Eh?"
When she heard her name being called, Haibara Ai, who was originally making the "yeah" gesture, was stunned for a moment.
"Well, I have a cold..."
"It's just a photo, it's okay."
The person who spoke was Igarashi Kiyoko, who was standing right behind Haibara Ai. As she spoke, she squatted down and reached behind her to take off her mask.
"Hmm, wait a minute..."
Under the mask was Haibara Ai's cold face, and there was nothing strange about it.
"Look, it's okay."
Taking in her full face, Igarashi Kiyoko smiled, put her hands on her shoulders, and helped her turn to the camera in front of her, even though she was a little flustered.
"Very good, everyone get ready, one, two..."
At the same time, on the other side, Hoshino Terumi was sitting alone at a dining table, glancing at her mobile phone from time to time.
Yoko is gone.
Just now, she and the little girl from Maori's family searched for a long time in the hall but couldn't find anyone, and the phone on her body couldn't get through...
"Really..."
Hoshino Terumi raised her hand and pressed her brows anxiously, then whispered something.
"Where on earth did he run off to..."
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated, and she quickly picked it up and took a look.
It was a text message, and the sender's note was "Yoko".
With some nervousness, Hoshino Terumi clicked on the text message.
[Sorry, Terumi! I'm going to chase that detective! I just saw you called me! I'm so sorry!]
After seeing the content of the text message, Hoshino Terumi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just be fine...
[Where on earth did you go? ]
[Outside, that detective seems to be a friend of mine...Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Huimei. I just remembered that I put my small waist bag on the table next to the door because I didn't want to bother with it. Please go and check if it's still there. Don't let anyone take it away...]
[You are in your twenties, but you are still so clumsy in doing things...]
Although she sent a text message to complain about her, Hoshino Terumi did not complain. She stood up and walked towards the dining table that Okino Yoko mentioned.
Sure enough, I found a small waist bag that was casually thrown there in the corner of the dining table.
"Get ready. One, two, three..."
At this time, Hoshino Terumi also saw Maori and his group taking a photo not far from her. She smiled and lowered her head to reply to Okino Yoko's text message.
[Found it, it's still there, don't worry. ]
"boom--"
The moment Hoshino Terumi pressed the send button, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the guest house behind her.
In an instant, the ceiling of the hall collapsed from the middle, and the hot and violent air waves carried countless broken stones and tiles and rushed to every corner of the hall.
"cough!"
Dust filled the field of vision, and the main door of the hall was forcibly broken open by the impact of the explosion. Hoshino Terumi was blown by the air wave and crashed into the wall in front of her.
The same thing happened to Maori and his group not far from her. They were all lifted up by the blast and hit the wall behind them.
However, their location was the place in the entire hall that was relatively least affected by the explosion.
Unlike the center of the hall that was hit directly by the explosion, there was already a "field of corpses"...
Chapter 475 Bourbon, bring her back to see me immediately
"The guesthouse, the guesthouse...it exploded!"
Following a loud bang, tourists who were originally strolling on the Edo Street in Beika noticed the explosion at the guesthouse.
"what is happening……"
Gray smoke rose into the sky. Most of the tourists were stunned when watching this scene. However, some of them reacted and quickly took out their mobile phones to call the police.
"Boom! Boom!"
But at this moment, rapid gunfire suddenly rang out on the street.
"what!"
Screams rang out instantly, and the tourists who were still standing still on the street suddenly ran desperately in the opposite direction of the gunshots.
In the chaos, a figure wearing a sun hat suddenly appeared at the entrance of the street behind, and with the cover of the crowd, he quickly slipped into the side road.
"Chase! We are pursuing the target mission! Request support! Locate our position!"
Behind the figure in the sun hat, several men in suits and masks followed closely behind him, and then they also flashed into the alley, chasing and calling for support.
"It's a terrorist attack! It must be a terrorist attack! Call the police!" A tourist who turned around and witnessed the scene screamed.
However, what the people in the gradually chaotic Beika Edo Street did not know at this time was that on the outskirts of Edo Street, dozens of police cars and Japanese public security vehicles had parked at various entrances and exits of Edo Street, completing the blockade of Edo Street.
"Commander Kuroda!"
In front of the temporary command post on the street outside, a bulletproof armored vehicle slowly stopped, and under the saluting gazes of several police officers, a man with a ferocious face walked down.
The man had gray hair and wore glasses. He looked quite old and had a big beard. There was a burn scar on the right side of his face.
This person was none other than Kuroda Heibei, the management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, who had directed the police landing operation in the Clover Hill Incident two days ago.
Nodding to the saluting police officers, Kuroda Bei followed another police officer and walked up to the top floor of the apartment building next to him.
Using a telescope from here, you can get a rough idea of what's going on at the Guest House on Edo Street.
“How arrogant!”
The old acquaintance, Inspector Megure, had been waiting here for a long time. He put down his binoculars and slammed them hard on the guardrail in front of him.
"What do those terrorists think Tokyo is?!"
Hearing the angry curses from Inspector Megure, there was no reaction on Kuroda Heibei's face. He calmly took the binoculars handed to him by the police officer next to him, took a look at the situation in Edo Street, and then slowly put the binoculars down.
"From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Edo Street. Contact headquarters immediately and request fire support."
"cough……!"
His ears gradually regained their hearing, the wailing sounds around him became clearer and clearer. With a strong feeling of dizziness in his mind, Toru Amuro slowly got up from the ground.
[What happened just now...]
Holding on to the section of wall that had not collapsed beside him, he turned his head and looked around. His originally scattered vision gradually focused.
What he saw was the guesthouse that had been blown to pieces.
The original reception hall was divided into four floors. The first floor was a banquet hall for entertaining guests, the second floor was the control room and staff offices, and the third and fourth floors were warehouses for storing various materials and equipment.
According to the original plan of Toru Amuro and Rena Mizunashi, they set up a certain number of bombs on the fourth floor of the guesthouse.
The purpose was to wait for all the members of the mysterious organization to gather on this Edo Street and then detonate it, thereby attracting the attention of the police and public security, and using their power to completely block this Edo Street and catch the turtle in the jar.
In other words, the bomb they set in the guesthouse was only to give the police the impression that "Edo Street was attacked by a terrorist organization."
Neither Toru Amuro nor Rena Mizunashi really wanted to use these bombs to create such a horrific explosion.
So not only did they set the bomb on the unmanned fourth floor of the guesthouse, they also controlled the power of the bomb so that the explosion would not cause too many casualties.
However, the situation now before Toru Amuro was that the center of the roof of the guesthouse was directly blown away by the bomb. After the bomb exploded on the third floor, the power of the explosion directly penetrated the ceilings of the third, second and first floors, and sent away the guests gathered in the center of the hall on the first floor.
As for the other guests who were slightly away from the center of the hall, even if they were not dead, they were all injured and lying on the ground wailing.
[What on earth is going on? ]
Toru Amuro stood there in a daze, looking at the bloody scene in front of him in confusion.
"Alive, Bourbon?"
At this moment, Reger's smiling voice came from his headphones.
"Reger?!"
Suddenly realizing something, he suppressed his voice and asked in a calm tone, "Did you tamper with those bombs?"
"Yeah, it's me." Regler's tone was calmer than his, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
