Kithara Sosuke followed the middle-aged man and walked for nearly two hours before finally arriving.

This is an ordinary one-family house. The two-story wooden building is not very big. The total area may be less than 100 square meters, and it is obviously lacking in repair and maintenance. There is also a small yard in front of the house, and it is piled randomly against the wall.

There are some debris, and the area originally used for planting is also overgrown with weeds.

Just looking at the appearance of this house, you can imagine how this person spent these years.

In fact, this man and his friends installed bombs in a high-end apartment and threatened to extort one billion yen. The police had no choice but to agree to their request. The two prisoners stopped

□□, But one of them saw the news replayed on the TV station and mistakenly thought that the bombing had not stopped. The prisoner, who still had a clear conscience, called the police. The police took advantage of the situation and wanted to trap him, but the man was running away.

He was hit and killed by a car in the process.

That's the source of this man's hatred.

He would not think about how despicable and vicious it was for the two of them to threaten the lives of innocent people, nor would he think that it was the police's duty to arrest criminals, nor would he think that the death of his accomplice was an accident, just a misfortune.

With deep resentment, he continued to retaliate against the police. First, he activated a bomb that had been stopped and killed Kenji Hagihara. Then he planned to have Jinpei Matsuda die on his own initiative. Finally, he threatened Wataru Takagi, Conan, Ran Mao, etc.

human life.

Kitahara Sosuke leaned against a telephone pole on the side of the road, listening to the sounds inside the house more than ten meters away.

The man had been walking for most of the day and was already very tired. He first wolfed down some food and drank two large glasses of water. Then he walked around the house to pack his things, and waited until three or four in the morning.

It was only then that I settled down and went to sleep.

Snoring could be heard in the room, but Kitahara Sosuke was not sleepy.

Many people died in Mingko, and there are even more in this world. There are also many originally kind people whose hands are stained with blood for some reason. But among all the regrets, Kitahara Sosuke is the one who has the deepest impression, and the one he wants to redeem the most, is Matsuda.

A flat death.

Probably because this person is one of the rare people who truly accepts death calmly for the "public interest", it is particularly heartbreaking.

It's a pity that he came too late.

Kithara Sosuke sighed silently, thought for a long time, and finally made a call.

"...Aosuke?"

The person over there didn't seem to be sleeping at all. The call was answered as soon as the call was dialed, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his voice.

"What's the matter with calling so late?" Tohru Amuro asked.

Kithara Sosuke glanced at his watch and asked, "It's already this time and you're still not asleep?"

Amuro Toru was a little nervous subconsciously, and hurriedly explained: "I just woke up too... didn't you sleep too?" He realized it.

"Amuro-kun..." Kitahara Sosuke hesitated for a moment, then said: "You are not in Tokyo?"

Otherwise, if the police made such a big move, he should have known what happened, and his tone should not be so calm.

"Oh... I'm in Kyoto." Toru Amuro said vaguely, "Something happened here recently."

Kitahara Sosuke knew it. He was either investigating the missing Curaçao for the organization, or handling the recent conflict between the winery and the zoo as a police officer. It was more likely that he was both, or he might also be handling the points as a detective.

Commission cases and so on.

It’s not surprising that a man with three identities and working countless jobs can be so busy.

"Did something happen to you over there? Or is someone from the organization looking for you?" Toru Amuro obviously didn't have time to chat, but he guessed in the wrong direction. Toru Amuro thought it was the black organization that was looking for trouble for Kitahara Sosuke.

, so he called to inquire.

"Anuro..."

Kithara Sosuke paused and decided to go straight to the point.

"Today...no, yesterday afternoon, a police car bombing occurred in Aipido Town..."

Kitahara Sosuke told Toru Amuro exactly what happened before, without adding any unnecessary embellishments. He heard the breathing of the person on the other end of the phone suddenly change at a certain moment, and then there was no sound again.

"...If you want to stop this game, come to my side! I'm waiting in the steel strike zone for you police to board the blood-stained pitcher's mound - that's all the content on that piece of paper." Kitahara Sosuke

He said: "The police are currently searching for the bomber all over the world like looking for a needle in a haystack. But so far they have found nothing."

Amuro Toru's scalp was numb, and the blood all over his body seemed to have gone cold. The pen in his hand had been accidentally broken, and the documents in front of him were all covered with ink, but he didn't notice it at all.

All that flashed through my mind were the cynical, free and bold looks of my old friends.

He didn't bother to think about why Kitahara Sosuke called him, and just said: "I will return to Tokyo immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Sosuke turned around on his phone and suddenly thought of someone else.

"Yushu?"

"I am here."

"There should be a policewoman named Chisato Hagiwara in the Kanagawa Police Traffic Team. Can you check her phone number for me?" Kitahara Sosuke asked.

"Okay." Yushu guessed the reason for Kitahara Sosuke's inquiry just by hearing the last name, and sent the phone number in two seconds.

This time the call took about a minute to be answered before the woman said a little irritably: "No matter who you are, you'd better have something very important!"

"The bombers from seven years ago and three years ago have shown up again - I thought you'd like to know about this."

The voice over there immediately became energetic and a bit more sharp: "Where are you? Who are you?"

"Tokyo." Kitahara Sosuke said: "Call me on this number when you arrive."

"Okay." He agreed almost without hesitation, decisively.

She is indeed a woman who can beat up Matsuda Jinpei.

Kitahara Sosuke then thought about the other people, Zhu Fu Gaoming... No, he has nothing to do with Matsuda Jinpei and Hagihara Kenji. In addition, there are instructors from their police academy and colleagues at work, but the relationship does not seem to be that deep.

The matter is regarded as a psychological shadow.

So that's it.

Kitahara Sosuke looked at the ordinary one-family building.

At once……

Sacrifice?

The middle-aged man only slept for less than two hours when he was woken up by the alarm clock. He got up from the bed, packed up briefly, then put on the travel bag he had prepared last night and went out.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the man couldn't help but shiver.

He shrank his neck and thought -
Chapter completed!
