Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1280 Yuya: We can use nuclear bombs!

A year later, when Makoto Kusakabe learned that the day of the "Shiratori's" return was the Haba Festival, he began to plan a terrorist attack to blow up the summit venue and to make sure the "Shiratori" probe crashed into the Metropolitan Police Department.

He did this to severely damage the prestige and power of the public security police, thereby upholding judicial fairness.

"What about IoT terrorist attacks?" Yu asked, puzzled. If it was just to retaliate against the police, was it necessary to launch an IoT terrorist attack with such a wide impact?

Makoto Kusakabe explained, "This wasn't originally in my plan, but as a prosecutor, I can't let innocent people be prosecuted..."

After learning that Kogoro Mouri had been imprisoned as a criminal, he worried that something like what happened with Futaka Haba would happen again. So, in order to prove Kogoro Mouri's innocence, he deliberately launched the IOT terrorist attack.

This is exactly what Yuya deduced.

Yuya said in a deep voice, "You can't keep making mistakes. Tell me the password you modified after hacking into NAZU!"

Makoto Kusakabe snorted coldly: "Public security prosecutors are the experts in upholding justice. I cannot abandon the justice that Haba upholds!"

Amuro Tooru grabbed his shoulder and said coldly, "Tell me the password!"

Makoto Kusakabe forcefully shook off his hand and decisively extended his own: "Arrest me all you want, I'll remain silent during interrogation!"

Amuro Tooru gritted his teeth, not expecting that after saying so much, Kusakabe Makoto would still insist on his sense of justice.

At that moment, Conan took out his phone and pointed the screen at Makoto Kusakabe: "Prosecutor Kusakabe!"

Makoto Kusakabe subconsciously turned around and his pupils suddenly contracted—on his phone screen was a view of the Metropolitan Police Department's rooftop helipad, and in the center of that helipad stood someone he never expected—Haba Fumiichi, who should have died long ago!

"Haba?!" Kusakabe Makoto's eyes widened in disbelief. "This is impossible!"

Yuya said, "This is live footage from the Metropolitan Police Department's helipad."

Makoto Kusakabe couldn't believe it. He looked at Tooru Amuro and demanded, "What on earth is going on? Why is Haba there?"

Amuro Tooru slowly said, "In order to conceal the fact that the Public Security Prosecutor used a helper, the Public Security Police made Haba fake his suicide and give up his previous life."

Furthermore, to prevent public security prosecutors from having accomplices who could lead to similar incidents, this matter must also be kept from you.

"You have to deal with the illegal work you did yourself. You don't have that ability!" - That's how the police judged it.

Yu couldn't help but glance at Amuro Tooru—he had to deal with the illegal work he had done himself. So that's why he arranged for Prosecutor Iwai to drop the charges against Kogoro Mouri?

Indeed, just as he said, it was resolved on its own.

Makoto Kusakabe was devastated. Was it because of his own lack of ability that Haba suffered such a fate?

On the screen, Futaba Futaba shouted, "Because Prosecutor Kusakabe pulled me out of the depths of despair, I was able to continue fighting and upholding the justice in my heart. But... stop, Prosecutor Kusakabe, don't continue down this wrong path, tell me the secret!"

Makoto Kusakabe stared blankly at Haba.

Amuro Toruya said, "If the probe crashes there, Haba won't be spared either!"

Makoto Kusakabe's expression suddenly changed. No wonder Haba was there; was he there to threaten him?

He pointed at Amuro Tooru and angrily questioned, "Is this how your public security forces operate?!"

Amuro Toru said, "If that's what you think..."

Yu shouted, "Tell me the password! There's no time left!"

The Cygnus is about to re-enter the atmosphere; this is its last chance to change its trajectory!

Kusakabe Makoto was struggling violently with his mind, and his body was trembling as a result.

At that moment, Haba Fumiichi suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Kusakabe, is this really the justice I believe in?"

Makoto Kusakabe's eyes widened, his face turning deathly pale. After a long while, he slumped to the ground as if all his strength had been drained, and slowly said, "The changed password is..."

"Did you hear that?!" Amuro Tooru shouted into the earpiece.

He maintained communication with Yuya Kazami, who immediately passed the code to the NAZU command post after learning it.

As the password was entered, the command center, which had been filled with the red alert of incorrect signals, immediately turned green.

The command to change the orbit was quickly transmitted to the Swan, but the communication between the command station and the Swan was interrupted by the blackout phenomenon just before the command could be entered.

The command center was also unable to determine whether the orbital modification had been successful, and the return capsule's parachute might also fail to deploy.

The so-called blackout phenomenon is the phenomenon where radio signals are blocked when an aircraft re-enters the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, due to the aerodynamic heating and air ionization that form a high-temperature plasma shell.

"How could this happen?" Yuya and Conan's expressions changed drastically—they had finally managed to get the password, were they going to fail?

If the reentry capsule were to crash into the Metropolitan Police Department...

Makoto Kusakabe was deathly pale. He shoved Tooru Amuro aside and ran toward the Metropolitan Police Department, shouting, "Quickly, get Haba out of there and to take refuge!"

"Wait!"

Yuya and the other two quickly chased after them.

However, when Makoto Kusakabe arrived at the rooftop helipad, he found it deserted—Fujii Haba was not there.

"What's going on?" He was a little confused.

Following behind, Amuro Tooru spoke up, "He's not here."

Makoto Kusakabe was puzzled. He clearly saw Haba on the tarmac. Was it just a hallucination?

Yuya explained, "What you're seeing is a composite image. It's made up of footage taken by a drone to make him look like he's here, but he's actually in another safe place."

Makoto Kusakabe let out a long sigh of relief, his expression immediately relaxing.

Yuya put one hand in his pocket and looked up at the sky—he could vaguely see a twinkling "star," but he didn't know if it was the rapidly falling reentry capsule.

He turned to look at Amuro Tooru: "If the orbital modification fails..."

Amuro Tooru said in a deep voice, "A return capsule exceeding 4 meters in length will crash into the Metropolitan Police Department at a speed of over 10 kilometers per second..."

Yuya pondered, "What if we use missiles..."

Amuro Tooru's lips twitched: "Missiles are certainly possible, but missiles can't be launched just like that. It's too late to apply for the necessary permits now."

"Moreover, the reentry capsule is made of extremely strong heat-resistant materials, which cannot be completely destroyed by ordinary missiles. In fact, it might even trigger a more serious and widespread disaster!"

Yu opened her mouth, wanting to say that a nuclear bomb could be used, like the little boy or something.

However, he tried his best to swallow those words back—nuclear weapons were great, but he would still have to live on this land in the future.

You can't exactly detonate a nuclear bomb on your own doorstep, can you?
