"Admittedly, in this situation of unknown danger, finding a way to escape is indeed the most appropriate option, but... as I said before, Regel is very likely the most difficult opponent we have encountered in the organization. At the same time, he will also be the biggest obstacle for us to disintegrate the organization in the future. For such a difficult enemy, we must collect as much information about him as possible..."
"So, are you still planning to carry out the task he assigned to you this time?" Rena Mizunoshi asked after hearing what he said.
"Well, even if there is a high possibility of some traps in this mission, I don't want to give up just like that." Amuro Toru nodded heavily, his eyes extremely determined.
He was very clear that this mission would definitely be dangerous, but as a Japanese public security officer with a strong sense of responsibility, Toru Amuro would never choose to retreat just because of the danger.
If he really did that, I'm afraid not only he himself, but also his friends who had sacrificed their lives would not forgive him...
"Ugh……"
Looking at him like this, Mizuno Rena sighed softly.
"Well, I'll join you."
"Thank you."
The two reached a consensus again, and Amuro Toru grinned, his neat white teeth shining against his dark skin.
"But now the first thing we need to figure out is, where did that little girl named Huiyuan Ai go?"
"What I want to know more is, how did all of them end up here? This place is not far from the table where they were originally sitting..." asked Toru Amuro.
"Maybe it's for taking pictures?" Mizunashi Rena suddenly said.
"Take a photo?" Amuro Toru looked at her puzzledly.
"Yeah." Nodding, Mizunashi Rena recalled: "I remember that two minutes before the explosion, the female government councillor named Igarashi Kiyoko, who was sitting at the same table with Detective Mori and the others, seemed to have invited them to take a group photo..."
Because she took a glimpse of it accidentally at that time, she had this impression.
"I remember very clearly that the little girl came along with me at the time."
"Igarashi Kiyoko..."
Of course Toru Amuro had an impression of this name. She was the host of this banquet. After the murder occurred in the guesthouse, she had not done anything meaningful except calling the police. She had been waiting by the side for the detectives to solve the case.
"wrong."
Suddenly, Toru Amuro noticed that Kiyoko Igarashi's body was not found on the ground around the two of them.
"Gil, are you sure Igarashi Kiyoko was here with us?"
"I'm pretty sure I saw her coming over with Detective Maori and his group."
Rena Mizunashi also noticed at this time that around where the two of them were standing, the Mori father and daughter, the Suzuki sisters and the three children were all lying unconscious on the ground.
The only ones missing were Haibara Ai and Igarashi Kiyoko.
"There is something wrong with this government councillor." Amuro Toru suddenly realized this and said quickly:
"She is most likely a member of that mysterious organization. She should have woken up before us and took the little girl away first. In that case, she... No, that's still not right.
She brought these people to the relatively safest place in the hall just two minutes before the explosion. It was too much of a coincidence. Did she know that an explosion would happen in the guesthouse soon?
Does this make sense, or is she actually a member of the organization? If so, why did she take the little girl away alone?
Damn, is there something wrong with Regel's plan? Or is this also part of his plan? "
Toru Amuro felt like his brain was about to short-circuit. It was a seemingly simple task, but it became inexplicably complicated.
Who is that Kiyoko Igarashi?
Was it really her who took Haibara Ai away?
【and many more……】
Suddenly, Toru Amuro realized a serious problem.
Why didn’t the police come here today?
It was Igarashi Kiyoko who called the police after the murder occurred in the guesthouse. If this person really had a problem, did she really notify the police at that time?
Realizing this, Toru Amuro quickly took out his cell phone and stopped just as he was about to dial.
He glanced down, finally took his cell phone from the unconscious Maori Kogoro, and quickly dialed a number.
"Hello, Detective Maori, what can I do for you?"
The call was quickly connected, and on the other end was a male voice that sounded a bit stiff.
"Kazami, it's me." Amuro Toru said.
"Mr. Furuya?!"
The voice on the phone was stunned, and then asked excitedly: "What happened? Isn't this Detective Maori's phone? Mr. Furuya, how could you..."
Yuya Kazami, Toru Amuro's subordinate, is a man with a crew cut and glasses, who always has a stern face. He is also a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
"I'll talk about these things later."
Interrupting him directly, Toru Amuro quickly got to the point.
"Kazami, go check right now to see if the Metropolitan Police Department has any records of police dispatch on Beika Edo Street this morning."
Chapter 478 I hope everything goes well with my father
"Kazami, go check right now to see if the Metropolitan Police Department has any records of police dispatch on Beika Edo Street this morning."
"Huh? This..."
As soon as Toru Amuro finished asking the question, he heard Yuya Kazami on the other end of the phone was stunned.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" asked Toru Amuro with a frown. He felt a little uneasy about Yuya Kazami's reaction.
"Um, Mr. Fūya." Kazami Yuya said hesitantly: "There is no need to investigate this. I wanted to inform you about this matter before, but when I thought about you, Mr. Fūya, you are currently carrying out the mission of the Black Organization, I was worried that your identity would be exposed, so..."
"Get to the point." Amuro Toru interrupted him with a headache.
"Well, that's right. The police did have a police dispatch record on Beihua Edo Street this morning, and quite a lot of police officers were dispatched..."
"What do you mean?"
"The news I heard is that the Metropolitan Police Department received a call from Igarashi Kiyoko, the host of today's celebration on Edo Street, saying that a vicious terrorist attack similar to the one at Clover Villa two days ago had occurred in the guesthouse on Edo Street, and some guests were held hostage by terrorists. The Metropolitan Police Department was asked to send police immediately..."
[A vicious terrorist attack?]
"Wait, when did you say that? When did Kiyoko Igarashi call the police?" Toru Amuro asked hurriedly.
"It should have been about half an hour ago. What happened, Mr. Fūya?" asked Yuya Kazami in confusion.
[How could this be…]
Toru Amuro stood there, looking down and frowning in thought.
Half an hour ago, wasn't that the time when the guests returned to the reception hall and discovered that someone had died in the reception hall?
It was Igarashi Kiyoko who called the police at that time...
Terrorist attacks?
Why would she tell such lies to the police?
Did she really have anticipated what would happen next in the Guest House at that time?
But what is her reason for doing this?
"Have the police arrived at Edo Street now?" asked Toru Amuro.
"Yes, Mr. Fūya, because the person who called the police, Igarashi Kiyoko, is a government employee, the Metropolitan Police Department attaches great importance to this incident. A few minutes ago, the police had already completed the control of all the entrances and exits of Beika Edo Street.
The commander of this operation is Commander Kuroda Bei, he has already applied for support from the Metropolitan Police Department, and it is estimated that a surprise operation will be launched on Edo Street soon..."
"Kazaki, where are you now?"
"Well, as a representative of the Public Security Bureau, I am now outside Edo Street..."
On the rooftop of a high-rise apartment building outside Beika Edo Street, Yuya Kazami was holding his cell phone and scratching his head.
Directly in front of him was the Beika Edo Street where Toru Amuro and others were currently.
In order to give tourists the greatest possible sense of immersion, this rice flower Edo street is surrounded by several-meter-high walls.
These walls surround Edo Street, making it look like a small ancient Japanese city-state, with only a few entrances and exits set up in advance for normal entry and exit.
And now, on the street inside the main gate of Edo Street facing this side, a group of tourists are rushing towards this side frantically.
"There are many injured people in the guesthouse. Fengjian, please ask the police to organize rescue forces as soon as possible. Please..."
In the lobby of the guest house, Toru Amuro hung up the call with Yuya Kazami and put the phone back into Kogoro Mori's pocket.
"What's going on?" asked Mizuno Rena.
"There is indeed something wrong with that woman." Amuro Toru replied.
“She may have foreseen the organization’s next move and used the power of the police to block this Edo Street.
As for her purpose of doing this...from the current point of view, I think she should use this to create a suitable opportunity to take the little girl named Huiyuan Ai away alone."
This is the most reasonable explanation that Toru Amuro can think of at the moment.
"That means the little girl was indeed taken away by her, right?" asked Rena Mizunashi.
"From what we can see now, that should be the case." Toru Amuro nodded.
"Then don't waste your time."
As Mizunashi Rena said this, she once again pulled out the pistol hidden behind her back.
"Whatever the reason, she must have stayed in the hall before the explosion, which means she must have taken the little girl away after the explosion.
She won't be gone for long, and she certainly can't go far with an unconscious child. We can definitely bring her back now."
"That's what I thought too."
After reaching a consensus, the two quickly left the guesthouse.
"Damn it! Where did he go?!"
At this time, on the other side of Edo Street, the men in suits were still chasing the male figure wearing a sun hat.
The few of them were in the central area of Edo Street, a busy street that was originally crowded with people. However, due to the explosion at the guesthouse and the continuous gunfire from all around, tourists all ran towards the several entrances and exits of Edo Street, and the streets in the central area became empty.
They chased the figure in the sun hat, the target person designated by Lilac, from outside the guesthouse through several streets all the way here, but just as they turned a corner, the sun hat suddenly disappeared.
"Be careful! He must still be around here!"
