Chapter 149 The Seven-Day Appointment—A Salute to Welcome the New Life!
Conan's eyes were fixed on the TV screen.
The warehouse in Su Beixun's background is a very empty wooden building. From the camera, you can vaguely see logs on the roof. The ground is covered with dust and there is no pile of debris.
He immediately opened the Tokyo city map on his phone, zoomed in and out, and began to check one by one.
"Shinichi, do you have any clues?"
"No...I'm not sure!"
Conan bit his nails. "In modern technology, storage warehouses are usually made of reinforced concrete or iron huts. If it is a purely wooden house, it must have been built at least 30 years ago."
He focused his map on the suburbs.
"Su Beixun has been active in Tokyo, so there is a high possibility that he is still in this city. In addition, warehouses are most commonly used in industrial areas, so we just need to find factories near Tokyo that have been abandoned for more than 30 years..."
Conan whispered, sweat beading on his forehead.
Xiaolan took out a handkerchief and wiped him: "Don't worry, Shinichi, I believe the country must be doing its best to find him, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself!"
"…I know, Lan."
Conan took a deep breath and raised his head, with an unknown source of anxiety in his eyes: "But since just now, my heart has been beating so fast..."
He clutched his clothes on his chest with one hand, feeling his chest beating violently. His face turned pale and sweat began to pour out of his body.
"I have a... very bad feeling..."
Just like ants before a rainstorm, poultry before an earthquake... At this moment, his intuition as a detective told him - you must act quickly!
##
"Ah, it's time."
Su Beixun glanced at the watch on his wrist and put his hat back on. He pinched the brim of the hat and pulled it down, revealing only the subtle curve of the corners of his mouth.
"Everyone!"
"Please cheer!"
"Salute to the New World!"
His words are so real, just like the will of God from above, which cannot be neglected.
then!
The Sun has fallen!
Just like the nine golden crows that were shot down in the myth, they scattered in different places on the land with their blazing light.
On the unreachable horizon, accompanied by a loud roar that shatters the eardrums, bright light scatters in all directions!
There were also dark-colored missiles rising into the sky, leaving white traces in the sky and swooping down rapidly towards different countries.
At the same time, many tiny black dots in the distant sky continued to expand in sight, then revealed their hideous true appearance and fell towards the direction of the Japanese coastline.
The rumbling sound was endless! The overwhelming red flames were like a huge curtain covering the world, and the dark smoke was like a materialized shadow, piled up firmly in everyone's heart!
The earth cracked, seawater poured back, and the exuberant heat evaporated into a mist that covered the sky. The resulting severe wind pressure seemed to be felt clearly throughout Japan!
At this moment, countless sharp screams were heard throughout the world!
Conan crouched down, stretched out his hands to block the violent storm in front of him, looked at the expanding white light ball in the distance, and couldn't help but mutter to himself in a daze.
"What... is this...?"
##
“It’s a Japanese military base.”
Su Beixun opened his hands and smiled freely!
He spread out his fingers one by one: "Yokosuka base at the mouth of Tokyo Bay, Sasebo base in Sasebo Bay, Yokota military base, Okinawa base, Guam US military base..."
"Just now, I launched and detonated all the gunpowder and missiles here, along with the war machines and countless military forces, and turned them into nothing!"
Su Beixun tilted his head and stared at the camera with his scarlet pupils.
"besides!"
"In the whole world..."
"Alaska base group, Guam base group, Australia base group, Central Asia base group, Hawaiian Islands base group..."
"There are nearly a thousand military bases around the world, all destroyed at this moment!"
Su Beixun clenched his fists in the air, his slightly red cheeks becoming more and more excited.
"Everyone!"
"No need to doubt! No need to worry!"
"I will clear all obstacles for you!"
He held out his hand in an inviting gesture.
"so!"
"Follow me!"
##
"asshole!"
Toru Amuro roared and slammed his fist on the table. His shining blond hair made him look like an angry lion!
“How dare you… How dare you do this to Japan!!”
His eyes were bared, his teeth were chattering, and he wished he could tear the other person's flesh and blood right now!
"And those corrupt senior executives!"
Toru Amuro's temples were throbbing as he thought of the negotiations a few days ago, and his anger grew stronger.
"Damn you, Senator! As early as after Noah's Ark disappeared, I told them to cancel the network connections of all important departments, but those bastards just procrastinated!"
Yuya Kazami looked at his boss with a ferocious face, and recalled what had just happened. He could not hide his panic: "Mr. Amuro, what should we do now?!"
"What should I do?!" Amuro Toru took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "First ask other countries how much they have lost. Then tell them the information about Noah's Ark and let them prepare."
Most military bases are built in remote places. Although their destruction will cause great damage, it is definitely not a fatal blow.
In comparison, Toru Amuro is more worried about that countries that possess nuclear weapons must keep an eye on these deadly things!
He stared at the face on the TV screen that he hadn't seen for a long time, his eyes full of gloom. If he had known what was happening earlier, Toru Amuro would definitely kill him at all costs when they met for the first time!
##
"Damn it! Damn it! We must catch him quickly!"
Conan swiped the screen of his phone frantically.
"There are so many abandoned factories outside of Tokyo... Damn it! Where exactly could it be?!"
Sweat dripped down his cheeks, and he felt that every moment of his hesitation was torture.
"No! Calm down! Calm down!"
Conan slapped his face and suddenly closed his eyes.
He forgot all these complicated reasonings. In the darkness, he began to recall everything related to Su Beixun, and the scene suddenly froze on Tianshan Primary School in Hokkaido.
[Proud, conceited, crazy, sick...]
[Do you think that someone like him would bury his things underground and have them trampled on by countless people? ]
That's right! Didn't my dad teach me that?! How could someone like him hide in an abandoned factory in the suburbs at a time like this?!
Since he has seized all the TV signals for broadcasting, then, with his evil personality...
Conan opened his eyes and the map on his phone quickly locked onto a place - the Mika City Radio and Television Station!
Su Beixun must be here! !
##
"Everyone, today's program ends here. I will meet you all on time tomorrow at the same time."
Su Beixun raised his head and smiled, then waved goodbye to the camera.
"I'll tell you tomorrow..."
"When the order of the old world collapsed."
"What kind of rules will I rebuild for it!"
Su Beixun bowed slightly again.
"Well, everyone...please look forward to it!" Ka~!
##
Su Beixun disappeared very suddenly, and after saying his last sentence, he did not give the audience any time to react.
The TV started playing the original program again. The male and female stars with exquisite makeup were still as dazzling, but no one could concentrate on watching it.
Everyone has those impassioned words lingering in their minds - a speech? A sermon? Or a catharsis?
No one understood what he was trying to do.
Everyone’s heart was shrouded in these emotions - panic, depression, anxiety... and finally it turned into a large-scale march!
They held up signs, condemning the serious dereliction of duty by the Japanese government. Whether it was the ridiculous program broadcast openly by the TV station, or the fact that the country's important weapons were really in the hands of terrorists, they could not accept anything that happened today!
Citizens surrounded all government agencies, even Tokyo where anthrax was still raging.
Everyone was like ants on a hot pan, constantly discussing and communicating with people they knew, then cheering each other up and comforting each other that the madman would be caught soon.
However, no matter what they thought, after Su Beixun's figure disappeared, no matter which program was on on TV, the blood-red 24-hour countdown was so touching.
The seconds passed by quickly... just like the time of judgment that will eventually come!
##
"Hello? Is Officer Shiratori there?"
Conan asked urgently as his private phone was not connected and he called the police instead.
The person who answered the phone was a policewoman with a sweet voice, but her voice was a little solemn: "Little boy, what is your relationship with Officer Shiratori?"
"I have something important to say to Officer Shiratori. Could you please ask him to take the call?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"I'm sorry, Officer Bai Niao...is dead."
died? !
Conan's pupils trembled violently: "...When did this happen??!"
"…A few days ago, the police fell into a trap set by a criminal organization, and Officer Shiratori was hit by a bomb and died on the spot."
how come……
Conan gritted his teeth, feeling extremely heavy in his heart. Even though he was used to seeing death, he couldn't remain indifferent when seeing his acquaintances die one after another.
But then, he slapped himself hard!
[Damn it! Now is not the time to think about this! ]
He immediately hung up the phone and called Officer Sato's cell phone. The situation was urgent, and he didn't want to waste time convincing the police to believe his child's reasoning. The most reliable option was to go directly to someone he knew.
In his anxiety, he even forgot to switch the sound of the tuba.
##
In a remote cemetery.
Miwako Sato placed a bouquet of lilies under the cold tombstone. In the photo, the gray-haired police officer Shiratori still had a serious look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Shiratori. I finally came to see you once, but now I have to leave in a hurry again."
The corners of her eyes sparkled with moisture: "But you are also a police officer, you should be able to understand."
She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, turned and left, wanting to go back to the police station to ask what the violent explosion was all about.
But the moment she turned around, she met the eyes of a familiar figure.
"Me...Inspector Megure!" Sato Miwako was a little surprised.
“…Don’t call me officer.”
Megure Jusan, who had lost a lot of weight, pulled down his familiar brown hat, hiding the upper half of his face in the shadows: "I'm no longer a policeman."
Miwako Sato moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say.
Megure smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, I won't talk about me anymore."
He walked forward, placed a bunch of chrysanthemums in his hand near the lilies, turned around and said, "I was planning to go to the police station to look for you after seeing Brother Bai Niao. It's great to meet you here."
Sato wondered, "Officer, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Megure Jusan's eyes were burning: "I would like to apply to join your team to track down Su Beixun!"
"Ah? Looking for Su Beixun?" Sato Miwako was confused.
But Megure was even more surprised when he heard this: "You...you don't know?"
Officer Sato gave him a confused look in return.
Megure was stunned, looked around, and realized that the other person might have been staying here before.
He was about to explain when Sato Miwako's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hey?"
"Officer Sato! Go to the TV station, the Mihua City Radio and Television Station. Su Beixun must be there!!"
"Conan?"
Miwako Sato's brain froze for a moment, but after combining this phone call with Inspector Megure's previous words, she quickly realized that something serious might have happened.
Without hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Okay! I got it! I'll go get someone now!"
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Megure, whose face was changing, and regained her decisiveness: "Officer, let's go with me in my car!"
##
All parties are taking action, and the undercurrent is surging.
But Su Beixun, who turned off the camera, had changed his clothes and was squeezing forward in the boiling and restless crowd.
"Owner!"
The electronic voice of Noah's Ark came from the earphones in my ears: "Your location may have been discovered!"
"Oh?" Su Beixun raised his eyebrows.
Noah's Ark explained, "It was the kid named Conan that you asked me to follow. He just zoomed in on the radio and TV station icon on the mobile phone map."
"Really? There were two."
Su Beixun grinned: "It seems that we need to find a new place tomorrow... How about the Rice Flower International Hotel?"
"As long as the master likes it!"
Su Beixun chuckled twice, then asked, "Can you control those nuclear bombs?"
"Don't worry, Master! I have kept all the military bases that store nuclear bombs, ready to launch at any time. But there are still some stored in warehouses that are not connected to the Internet, and I can't do anything about them."
"It's okay, this is enough."
"Master, why did you let me keep them and not detonate them together today? Aren't they more powerful?"
Su Beixun shook his head: "I don't simply want to destroy the world. Moreover, compared to venting out of panic, I would rather see their actions come from their own heart."
Noah's Ark didn't understand and remained silent.
"Send me the location of the new city." Su Beixun did not explain any more and changed the subject.
Noah's Ark quickly marked it on Su Beixun's mobile phone.
He squeezed out of the crowd that kept gathering at the government offices, stood in the alley, and stared down at the red dot on the screen.
“It seems a bit far.”
He smacked his lips, raised his head to scan the chaotic flow of people, and without even thinking about looking for a possible taxi, he got on the motorcycle in the space, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
