The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 527: Fatal Mistake in Explosion

Odagiri Toshiro was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I see!"

At this moment, he agreed with Baimasong's point of view, and his feeling of something being wrong disappeared completely after hearing this.

He looked at Bai Masong again and motioned for him to continue.

"so,"

Hakuba Matsu felt Odagiri Toshiro's gaze, paused, narrowed his eyes, and gave his answer.

"I think the first bomb only needs the last three sentences."

"It's like, 'If you want to stop this game, just come to me. I'll wait for you, the police, to come to the bases covered in blood, and I'll be waiting for you at the steel home plate.'"

"The location is actually very simple, it's in the elevator of Tokyo Tower."

In the... elevator of Tokyo Tower?

After this answer was given, the police officers below all looked thoughtful.

As Odagiri Toshiro thought about it, he nodded repeatedly and kept muttering,

"I see. The steel home plate corresponds to the steel elevator, and the bloodstained bases correspond to the red Tokyo Tower. When I walk on the bloodstained bases, the elevator moves up and down in the Tokyo Tower."

"and then?"

After Odagiri Toshio figured it out, he couldn't wait to turn his gaze to Hakuba Song, wanting to know what he would say next.

After all, according to what he said before, he should have already figured out how to decipher the code for the second location.

Sure enough, the ignorant man said in a deep voice,

"The second location, I don't know the exact location."

"But it should be inside a school."

School?!

When these words were spoken, the police officers present were shocked again. This was not just ordinary surprise, they were so surprised that they wanted to jump up.

This criminal is indeed so cruel. If it is really installed in the school, once it explodes, I wonder how much pressure the Metropolitan Police Department will be under!

"why?"

Although Odagiri Toshiro's face darkened at these words, he still asked an extra question.

Bai Masong briefly explained the code solving process to everyone.

"After removing the first bomb and the time sentence, the remaining sentence is 'I am a major league hitter, the extra innings are about to begin, and even if someone tries to stop me, it will be a waste of effort. I will eventually win.'"

"'Major League' is the word for Major League Baseball, which means let's change the word to baseball. The abbreviation for 'extra' is 'EXTRA'."

"'Find someone to stop me' means someone with a very high defense rate. Defense rate means 'ERA'. 'It's just a waste of effort' means let's remove 'ERA' from 'EXTRA'. What's left is..."

"XT,"

Bai Masong had said so much, so Odagiri Toshiro naturally couldn't let him be the only one to shine, so he continued to do nothing.

"So, the next step is to arrange the characters 'XT' in order, upside down, and then reverse them, leaving a shape similar to the character '文'."

"And 'Wen' on the map represents school."

"I'm right, am I not?"

"Ah."

Bai Masong nodded, looked at Odagiri Toshiro, then looked at the police officers sitting around him and opposite him, and said in a deep voice,

"Minister Odagiri, and everyone else, this time, the criminals were careless. Now is our chance."

Yes, the criminals were careless.

Just as Bai Masong had said before, this criminal had a flaw.

Even if he didn't read the original plot, he could still find out this flaw by deciphering it himself.

Perhaps he had overlooked it, or perhaps he had become inflated by his success in forcing the death of an active police officer three years ago.

All in all, this time, his preview letter was not as perfect as the one three years ago.

The main reason why the explosion three years ago was so terrible was the information gap and the design of the second bomb in the dark!

To be fair, with so many people in the Metropolitan Police Department, is it possible that no one was able to crack the code?

No, definitely.

Apart from anything else, Matsuda Jinpei had already cracked all the codes three years ago, otherwise he would not have been able to see the mysterious code given by the criminals at the end and send a decrypted text message to Sato Miwako right away.

However, the clever thing about this bomber was that he had two locations for the bomb, one visible and one hidden.

As for the one in the dark, he only gave half of the information, and this half of the information was the same as not giving it.

For the first bomb, he clearly told the police from the Metropolitan Police Department through a code word that I had placed the bomb inside a seat of a Ferris wheel in a shopping mall in Haido-cho.

However, for the second bomb, even if his code was cracked, he only told the police that the location was a hospital.

The time when the police received the fax was too short to the time when the explosion occurred.

If we knew the location, we could try to dismantle it, but if we didn't know the location, how could we possibly find the bomb in an area as big as Tokyo?

This is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

So what if we knew about the hospital?

There are so many hospitals in Tokyo, and basically every hospital has a large population gathering. It can be said that there is no essential difference between them!

Jinpei Matsuda knew this, so he faced death calmly.

Because he knew that this time the criminals were aiming to kill the policeman, and if he didn't die, they would have no chance of finding the bomb.

But this time it's different.

Or rather, this time the criminals took it for granted.

He thought that schools, like hospitals, were overcrowded every day, so the police had no way of finding the bombs he needed to place in these schools.

However, perhaps because he had not worked for many years, and he might have learned some information from somewhere.

He had no idea that almost all schools were on holiday today and tomorrow!

At present, the only high-level private colleges that need to go to school tomorrow are Teitan High School, Haido High School, Ekoda High School, etc.!

Because they are taking a national mock exam!

Bai Masong can count these colleges with two hands. With the police force that the Metropolitan Police Department plans to invest, it will not be difficult at all to find the college where the bomb is installed!

"it is good!"

Odagiri Toshiro stood up suddenly, holding the table, like a majestic tiger, and swept his cold eyes over the police officers below.

"Start now, conduct a comprehensive search, I want to find the two bombs before six o'clock tomorrow morning!"
