Just in case, it would be safest to call the FBI.
"Okay." Conan nodded and immediately took out his cell phone.
"Kil..."
Then, Toru Amuro looked at Rena Mizunashi again.
"I'll go with you." He quickly put away the shocked expression on his face. Mizunashi Reina also put down her phone at this time, looked at him, and said immediately:
"Although I really want to leave now, Regel's text message clearly stated that we should go together. If I don't go, he will definitely get suspicious..."
"Thank you." Amuro Toru thanked sincerely.
"It's okay, just think of me as...taking a risk with you."
Mizuno Rena also smiled at him.
But what Toru Amuro didn't see was that the content of the text message that Regel sent to her phone was actually completely different from the one on his phone...
【Kier, dispose of Bourbon in the movie hall.】
Chapter 523 Uncle! Got it!
"Brother Maori! And Mr. Shimizu! So you guys are okay?!"
Outside Edo Street, Shizuka Shizuka and his group successfully escaped from Edo Street and were soon taken by Officer Megure to his command post nearby.
"Why does it sound like you, Officer Megure, really hope that something happens to us..." Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched twice.
"No, no, no!"
Waving his hands quickly, Megure Jusan quickly called everyone in, and then asked in a low voice:
"What's going on inside now?"
"All I know is that there was an explosion at the guesthouse. As for the situation outside..."
Kogoro Maori scratched his head and looked at Shizuka Shizuka beside him.
"Boy, didn't you leave the hall before the explosion? What was the situation outside at that time? Come and talk to Officer Megure..."
"I only saw a lot of terrorists, holding guns and attacking tourists everywhere." Wearing a mask, Shizuka Shizuka replied very concisely.
This statement was not entirely false, as those guys in Edo Street had indeed attacked tourists before, but they only attacked him.
"Indiscriminate attack?"
When Inspector Megure heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"It's not kidnapping, but attacking tourists everywhere? What on earth do those bastards want to do?!"
Under normal circumstances, in order to gain as much bargaining chips as possible in negotiations with the government, most terrorists will choose to control as many hostages as possible rather than massacring them. This is something only certain extremist organizations would do.
"Come to think of it, it seems that after the explosion, the terrorists really did not return to the guesthouse..."
At this time, Maori Kogoro touched his chin and suddenly said:
“From the time we were knocked unconscious by the explosion until we woke up and left, no terrorists came in, and it seemed that there were no people left guarding the guesthouse.
It's really strange. There are many celebrities who were invited to the lobby of the guesthouse. They should be the main target of the terrorists, right? "
"Is that so? This is a little different from what Ms. Igarashi told us on the phone..."
Hearing what Kogoro Mori said, Inspector Megure frowned and muttered to himself.
"Ms. Igarashi?!"
When Kogoro Mori heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Inspector Megure! What did you say happened to Ms. Igarashi?!"
"Ah? Oh, it was some time before the explosion at the Guest House that Ms. Igarashi, who was in charge of hosting the Edo Street Festival, called the police and said that a terrorist organization had taken hostages in Edo Street and hoped that our police could come and deal with it as soon as possible..."
Although he didn't know why Kogoro Mouri was suddenly so excited, Inspector Megure still explained it.
"What? Before the explosion?!"
Kogoro Mori was completely confused.
"Wasn't Ms. Igarashi always with me before the explosion? Could it be, could it be during the Phantom Thief Murder Case?!
But, if that's the case, then why did Ms. Igarashi..."
"Brother Mori, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Kogoro Mori who looked extremely nervous, Inspector Megure asked in confusion.
"Officer Megure!"
Suddenly he stepped forward and squeezed Inspector Megure's shoulders tightly. Maori Kogoro looked at him and said excitedly:
"Ms. Igarashi is missing!"
"W-what?" His shoulder was pinched so hard that it hurt. Inspector Megure wanted to break free, but found that he couldn't.
"We were all taking pictures together in the lobby before the explosion! But when we all woke up from the explosion... Ms. Igarashi was gone!"
"And Haibara! Haibara is missing too!" At this time, the three little guys from the Junior Detective Team also shouted loudly.
"Ah! That's right! That little brat is missing too!" Kogoro Mouri nodded, and at the same time a brainstorming session took place in his mind.
Called the police before the explosion...
After the explosion, it disappeared...
Those terrorists never came to the lobby of the guesthouse again...
Could it be...
Uncle, I understand!
After briefly sorting out the clues in his mind, Kogoro Mori suddenly realized.
"Officer Megure! The terrorists' target is Ms. Igarashi! She must have realized this a long time ago, so she called the police in advance!
However, Ms. Igarashi probably didn’t expect that terrorists would use bombs to attack the guesthouse! So after the explosion, they were…”
"So, is that so?" Looking at Kogoro Mouri who was speaking very logically, Inspector Megure nodded blankly.
"That must be the case! Ms. Igarashi must have been kidnapped by those terrorists!"
When he said this, Kogoro Mori's face revealed an expression of pain and sadness.
In his mind, he once again recalled Igarashi Kiyoko's intellectual temperament, and her shy expression when she invited him to take a photo together. He felt so miserable that he wanted to die...
[Ms. Igarashi, I...! ]
Behind him, Qing Shuijing glanced at him silently, then silently looked away.
"Dad!" Seeing the appearance of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri was immediately furious.
Although she is also worried about Ms. Igarashi, could you please not act so foolishly? !
"But Brother Mori's reasoning is also very reasonable. I will tell Commander Kuroda about your speculation as soon as possible..."
After thinking for a while, Inspector Megure said:
"Brother Maori, the police are about to take action. You should leave as soon as possible. Leave the rest to the police."
"But, Haibara..." The Junior Detective Team opened their eyes wide and looked up at him.
"The police will do their best to rescue every tourist still trapped in Edo Street, don't worry."
After rubbing the heads of the three little ones, Inspector Megure smiled and comforted them:
"Okay, this is no longer a place for children, let's go home quickly..."
Just like that, under the persuasion of Officer Megure, Shizuka Shizuka and his group left the command post again.
At this time, near the command post, there were still many tourists who had escaped from Edo Street earlier and were waiting to leave after their identities were verified by the police.
"Sister and brother-in-law, are we going to leave immediately?"
Walking through the crowd and heading towards the safe street behind, Suzuki Sonoko asked.
"Well, we can't help much if we stay, so we might as well go back as soon as possible."
Suzuki Ayako nodded, then looked at Shizuka Shizuka beside her.
"Jingjun, what do you think?"
"Okay." Qingshui Jing just nodded without saying much.
"Yeah." Suzuki Ayako also nodded and looked away.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd beside the three people and tightly grasped Qingshui Jing's wrist.
【Um? 】
Before Qingshui Jing could find out the owner of the hand, a force suddenly came from his wrist and pulled him into the crowd.
Chapter 524 Sister Jing, long time no see
In the dense crowd waiting to leave outside Edo Street, Shizuo Shizuka, who was originally walking with the Suzuki sisters, suddenly felt a hand in the crowd grabbing his wrist and then pulling him out with force.
"follow me."
Just as he was about to break free, a female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The voice was strangely low, like the sound made by a person who was deliberately suppressing his or her voice.
What made Qingshui Jing even more confused was that this awkward female voice actually sounded somewhat familiar to him?
But because the other party deliberately blurred his voice, he did not immediately recall the owner of the voice.
His wrist was held tightly by someone, and Qingshui Jing could now clearly see the figure in front of him who was holding him and moving forward.
She was wearing a sun hat and a thick windbreaker, and was smaller than an average adult male. She seemed to be a woman.
[Is it a member of the organization? Is it plum wine? Or is it Kir? ]
Confused and hesitant, after a brief hesitation, Shizuo Shizuka finally gave up the idea of breaking free. He looked back at the Suzuki sisters behind him and let the figure take him away.
"Huh? Weird, where's my brother-in-law?"
After Shizuka Shizuka was dragged away, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly noticed that he was missing, and she stuck her head out to look around in the crowd.
