Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1278 Everyone is a Terrifying Man

"Hey, this is no joke," Yuya stared at his phone screen, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Compared to this prisoner, Gin is nothing.

Gin only strafed the Ferris wheel with a helicopter, but this time the criminals actually hacked into the NAZU to seize control of the "Swan" and even caused the return capsule to crash into the Metropolitan Police Department?

If an organization had this kind of courage, Japan would no longer be called Japan.

Just as Yuya's thoughts were wandering, Conan tugged at Yuya's clothes and gave him a wink.

Yu understood and looked up at Amuro Tooru in the driver's seat: "Mr. Amuro, there is something I hope you can tell me truthfully."

Amuro Tohru's expression hardened: "Tell me, as long as I can answer."

Yuya slowly began, "I want to know, did Haneba Futaka really commit suicide?"

To be honest, he didn't really believe that Amuro Tooru would drive someone to suicide; but if it was Haba Fumiichi who chose to commit suicide himself, that would be a different story.

However, Amuro Tooru couldn't just let things develop unchecked, so the truth is most likely...

Amuro Tooru was taken aback, then gave a wry smile: "You really saw right through me. What a terrifying man."

Just as he had guessed, Yu smiled faintly: "Likewise."

Conan, on the other hand, wore a thoughtful expression.

···

The Metropolitan Police Department took emergency action, issuing evacuation notices. A large number of people began to evacuate, and traffic came to a standstill. Fortunately, the Traffic Division was dispatched in advance and immediately began to maintain order at various intersections.

Kogoro Mouri and his group were on one of the buses with Inspector Megure. Every seat on the bus was filled to ensure maximum capacity.

Inspector Megure was explaining the evacuation plan to reassure the public: "...Next, approximately 3 people will go to the seaside resort located on the edge of Tokyo Bay for evacuation."

"where is that?"

"I do not know!"

"Will we be okay?"

The people on the bus whispered among themselves, each with a look of panic on their face.

Some of them were shopping, some were eating at restaurants, when they suddenly received the evacuation notice. Without any preparation, they boarded the bus, inevitably filled with anxiety about the future.

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Excuse me, is this the place where the summit was originally supposed to be held?"

Inspector Megure nodded: "That's exactly where it is."

Upon hearing that it was the venue for a summit, the people on the bus immediately knew where it was. Although they hadn't seen it in person, they knew that a summit was being held there.

Since it's the venue for the summit, security should be guaranteed, right?

Everyone immediately felt much more at ease.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure had to admire Sonoko Suzuki. As the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, she was quite capable; she calmed everyone down with a simple question.

He continued, "Our plan is to take refuge in the observation tower."

"Observation tower?"

"That's the one!"

Everyone turned their gaze to the distance, where, illuminated by the searchlight atop the tower, a massive tower could be clearly seen standing on Tokyo Bay.

Ran Mouri glanced at it and then lowered her head, muttering Shinichi's name. She took out her phone to contact Conan, but no one answered.

Having no other option, she could only send a message as a comment.

···

Meanwhile, the Mazda finally arrived at the prosecutor's office.

Emergency evacuation is underway here as large numbers of people are fleeing the prosecutor's office to seek refuge.

Amuro Tooru had already confirmed in advance that their target had not yet left the prosecutor's office.

As the three walked in, they kept scanning the crowd to prevent their target from escaping by blending into the throng.

Just then, a man holding a phone, walking and looking at it, came into view—found!

Yuya and Conan pretended to rush back to get something. As they passed the man on the left and right, Yuya suddenly reached out, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted it forcefully!

Caught off guard, the man instinctively loosened his grip.

*Thud!* The phone fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The man looked at Yuya in astonishment, then suddenly looked down at his phone.

Amuro Tooru stepped forward, bent down to pick up the phone, glanced at the screen, and then turned the phone around.

Yuya glanced at it and slowly said, "This is data that only NAZU can see, right? The perpetrators of the terrorist attack..."

Amuro Tooru stared at the man with a chilling gaze and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect the culprit to be you, Prosecutor Kusakabe!"

Makoto Kusakabe's face was filled with surprise, but he quickly suppressed his emotions, abruptly shaking off Yuya's hand and coldly questioning, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Pretend not to know?

Yuya, with one hand in his pocket, said calmly, "I've suspected you for a long time—the list of evidence you submitted is the first flaw."

"That glass shard was part of the explosive device. Only the real culprit should know this. We also discovered the fragments at the scene and confirmed that the electric pressure cooker was detonated from the inside before we deduced that the pressure cooker was the real source of the fire."

But at that time, the police unanimously believed the fire originated from high-voltage power lines. Under those circumstances, why did you submit that as evidence...was it accidental or intentional?

Makoto Kusakabe's expression suddenly changed.

Yuya took out his phone, opened a document, and scrolled to the bottom: "Also, this is the public trial document for the NAZU illegal access incident last year. You were the prosecutor in charge of the search at the time."

Amuro Tooru suddenly realized: "I see, the perpetrator in that case also used NOR to make unauthorized access."

Yuya: "You used the methods you learned in the case to launch the IoT terrorist attack, right?"

Makoto Kusakabe remained silent, only the distorted muscles in his face betraying the turmoil within him.

"However, what you didn't expect is that NAZU has developed a system that can track NOR users. Once NAZU traces the source of the illegal access, your crime will be exposed immediately."

So you deliberately exploited a vulnerable NOR vulnerability to gain unauthorized access, causing your superior, Prosecutor Iwai's, phone to catch fire, creating the illusion of an IoT terrorist attack. Your goal was to trick the police into identifying the vulnerability, misleading their investigation and delaying the investigation.

"Is your goal to seize control of the Swan today?"

Amuro Tooru said thoughtfully, "No wonder the timing of that terrorist attack was so subtle. So that's what happened."

The police investigated this vulnerability, but only found that Kogoro Mouri's computer had been compromised, and then focused their attention on IoT terrorist attacks.

No one would have guessed that the culprit's real target was the Swan.

Makoto Kusakabe didn't say anything, but suddenly, he lunged at Tooru Amuro and snatched his phone away.

Just as Yuya was about to step forward to stop the person, the other person kicked Conan right in front of Yuya, almost causing him to fall.

"Get out of the way!" Kusakabe Makoto roared, running quickly toward the side door—wait a minute, just a little more delay and it'll be fine!

Yuya and the other two kept up the chase, but the automatic glass door opening and closing delayed them a little, and the distance between them increased considerably.

I ran all the way to the parking lot.

Conan saw a beverage can on the ground, immediately crouched down, pressed the switch on his leg-strengthening shoes, and roared, "Don't even think about running!"

With a powerful kick, the beverage can shot out like a cannonball.

Hearing a whooshing sound behind him, Makoto Kusakabe instinctively turned to the side and raised his arm to block. The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his arm and tumbled down the stairs.

The three men took the opportunity to approach.

However, Makoto Kusakabe did not pause at all. He scrambled to his feet and continued running without stopping.

Conan panicked. This guy took a kick from him, but instead of falling down, he ran even faster? Dr. Agasa's inventions are really unreliable!

"Don't let him get away!" Conan shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry!" Amuro Tooru shouted, taking a shortcut by leaping down from the flowerbed and blocking Kusakabe Makoto's path.

Seeing this, Kusakabe Makoto gritted his teeth and rushed forward, throwing a punch at Amuro Tooru.

Just then, he suddenly felt a darkness above his head. Before he could react, he felt something pressing heavily on his back, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

Amuro Tooru froze, looking at Yuya who was standing on Kusakabe Makoto's body, and couldn't help but twitch his lips - don't break his spine.
