Chapter 81 Stirring up the situation Hokkaido the largest university in Japan, it covers an area of approximately 660 square kilometers, accounting for 1/570 of the entire land area of Japan! In addition to being large, the environment is also rich and diverse. Research forests, medicinal plant gardens, farms, etc. can be seen in the school. It is precisely because of this that Asakura Takaaki has been able to hide until now. In fact, after he calmed down, he had already figured out that he would not be able to escape if his identity was known. But just when he was about to go back and surrender, he received a call from Su Beixun. at this time…… Asakura Takaaki was wearing a hood, hiding his face in the shadows, wandering in a remote corner of the campus, waiting anxiously. "Asakura Takaaki!" A voice suddenly came from behind. He subconsciously turned around and saw a man with a haggard face waving at him.
Resisting the urge to run, he asked tentatively: "Su...Su Beixun?" The man nodded, lifted a corner of the mask and then put it back on. "The crowd outside is being evacuated. It's not easy to get in." The man laughed in a hoarse voice. He pulled an object from his pocket and threw it to Asakura Takaaki. That's a remote control. The shell is pure black with only a red button in the middle. "I have already planted the bomb. It is at the Hokkaido International Hospital... All you have to do is follow my instructions and draw everyone's attention to it before detonating it." Hokkaido International Hospital is the largest hospital in the vicinity, and it has been overwhelmed with traffic recently due to the case at Minji Junior High School, with reporters and troublemakers appearing one after another. Asakura Songming slightly exerted force on the remote control, his face struggling, and he lowered his head and begged in a low voice: "Can you let me go? I...I don't want to kill anyone anymore." Su Beixun assured, "This is the last time...your appearance and name have been exposed anyway, and it's only a matter of time before you're caught by the police, so why not help me out again?" How could that be the same? He had only killed a few people, which was different from detonating a bomb. But Asakura Songming remained silent, he knew he had no ability to resist. If he is caught by the police, he can still survive, but if he disagrees, he will definitely die... and he will not be the only one to die. Seeing that he was full of resistance, Su Beixun slowed down his tone and said, "It was you who caused this. If you hadn't been the one who asked Yamazaki Rin to kill Mizutani Shinichi and told him where I lived, I wouldn't be doing this kind of trouble now." There was another moment of silence. Asakura Takaaki did not ask what the purpose of doing this was. He just put the remote control into his pocket: "I know, I will do it... and please... don't hurt my family..." "of course."
Su Beixun laughed again. "…How can I attract their attention?" "Simple!" Su Beixun turned his head and pointed to the tallest building behind him: "Taking a hostage to the rooftop will naturally attract attention, and then you can detonate the bomb... After that, you will have nothing to do." He then handed over another knife. Asakura Takaaki took it again. "Good luck!" Su Beixun waved and turned to leave. Asakura Songming looked at his back with clenched teeth. The veins on his hand holding the knife were throbbing. He loosened and clenched it again several times... and finally drooped it down dejectedly. Su Beixun has disappeared from sight. Asakura Songming was silent for a moment, took out his mobile phone and typed a message. His finger kept on the send button for a long time, but he still didn't dare to press it. A miserable laugh. Asakura Takaaki staggered towards the building. ## "I'm sorry, classmate." A police officer stopped a student nearby and showed him his ID: "There is a criminal in the school. For your safety, can you please leave the school temporarily?" The student panicked when he heard this: "Kill...murderer...I know." "Thank you for your cooperation. May I ask if you know Asakura Takaaki?" "No...I don't know him." "Okay, trouble." The police officer watched him leave in a hurry and sighed slightly. Even if the police station sent reinforcements, it still wasn't enough for such a large school... There was a shortage of manpower. After all, the Meiji Junior High School case still occupied a lot of the police's attention. After walking a little further, a student suddenly ran over from the front, shouting, "Oh no! Oh no! A student has taken hostages and gone up to the rooftop!" what? ! The police officer perked up, grabbed him and asked, "Hijacking? Where?" The student was grabbed but didn't ask who he was. It was hard to tell whether he was scared or excited. He turned around and pointed: "Look, that's it! On the tallest building!" After saying that, he continued to run forward while shouting. The police officer was speechless, but time was running out and he had no time to preach, so he ran directly in the direction the other party pointed. When we got there, there were already quite a few onlookers.
He squeezed into the inner circle and squinted his eyes to look upwards... It’s Asakura Takaaki! He quickly called the slightly plump police officer. ## In the police station. Officer Fujisai put down his sixth can of coffee, but still looked listless. Mao Lilan was a little worried and suggested again: "Officer, why don't you go and have a rest first?" Fujisai shook his head: "No, I can still hold on." Just as he was about to open the seventh can, the slightly plump police officer suddenly came over to report: "Oh no, Fujisai! Asakura Songming kidnapped a student on the rooftop of the school." Upon hearing this terrible news, Officer Fujisai took a deep breath and said calmly, "I understand. Notify the sniper, contact the negotiators, and allocate police forces to form an assault team." The slightly plump police officer was a little embarrassed: "We don't have enough manpower. The police officer who was sent out to look for the one called Megure was transferred from other places... and I guess there are not many police officers nearby." Officer Fujisai was silent for a moment and said, "Call back the people who have just been sent out and deal with the Asakura Songming issue first... As for Megure, I will request support from a farther place." Conan was stunned, but didn't say much. He could understand Officer Fujisai's decision. After all, Megure's phone call was just unreachable, and being abducted by Su Beixun was just a suspicion. It is also possible that the phone was not charged and turned off automatically. There is a shortage of police force now, so we can only postpone this matter. Soon, amid the whistling of police cars... Officer Fujisai rushed to Hokkaido University. Conan and his three companions naturally followed along. "how is the situation?" Fujisai asked the policeman who was waiting here first. The police officer said, "Asakura Songming didn't say a word... Because of the safety of the hostages, I didn't dare to rush up and subdue him alone." “It’s the right thing to do.” Officer Fujisai patted his subordinate who looked a little guilty. Then he turned around and asked, "How's the sniper doing?" A police officer wearing a headset listened for a moment and then replied: "Not good. There is no higher ground nearby. Shooting from where they are now will cause the risk of accidental injuries." Officer Fujisai nodded, waved his hand to signal the assault team to wait outside the rooftop, and then made way. A very friendly man stepped forward and said in a gentle voice through a loudspeaker: "Student, please calm down and don't get excited. How about we talk? Or, you can ask for anything you want!" Asakura Songming stood at the highest point, his face numb and he had no desire to reply. Seeing that the girl in his arms was still trembling, he moved the blade against her neck down a little and whispered, "I'm sorry." The girl was a little surprised, but Asakura Songming didn't say anything else.
The negotiators below shouted more and more frequently, the volume of the loudspeaker was carried away by the wind, attracting more and more onlookers. At first it was students, then people from the society, and later, several reporters carrying cameras filmed him. The crowd seemed small in his eyes, but they were a dark mass, like a swarm of ants attracted by food, eager to devour his flesh and blood. That should be enough, right? He took out the remote control from his pocket empty-handedly and pressed the red button lightly. "what is that?!" Officer Fujisai, who was holding a telescope, was somewhat puzzled when he saw this scene. But the next moment! Boom! A brilliant fire burst out from the distance, a strong wind swept in with heat, and faint screams could be heard. "Bomb...a bomb?!" Kudo Yusaku's pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a step forward, blocking the other three behind him. Before Officer Fujisai could come to his senses, several consecutive roars were heard! The earth shook, smoke and dust rose, the leaves nearby rustled, and the crowd screamed and began to flee in all directions. "Calm down! Please stay calm! Stay here and don't run around!" Officer Fujisai yelled, but it was useless at this critical moment. He himself was knocked back and forth several times by the agitated crowd. If his men had not pulled him back, he would have probably fallen to the ground. "Damn it!" He grabbed the headset from his men and yelled, "Where's the sniper? Any chance to shoot?!" "No! He's hiding behind the hostages now!" Officer Fujisai gritted his teeth. And it’s on the rooftop. Asakura Songming was completely stunned when he saw seven or eight sparks blooming on the campus. Why are there so many in the school? Isn't it in Hokkaido International Hospital? But he had no time to think! Because the next explosion was right under his feet! Officer Fujisai's face turned pale as the glass and rubble fell from his head: "Quick, get out of here!" boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! Six consecutive sonic explosions! The building collapsed into pieces and fell downward. I see…… The expression on Asakura Takaaki's face changed from shock, to trance, and finally to calmness. In a state of weightlessness, it seemed as if time had slowed down enough for him to clearly see the expression of extreme fear on the girl's face. I am sorry. He apologized a second time.
Taking out his cell phone from his pocket, he retrieved the email that had not been sent before - it contained all the information and speculations he knew about Su Beixun. Once again, he placed his finger on the send button... But... he still didn't press... He thought of his parents' faces and deleted the letter word by word. So be it…… He loosened his hand holding the phone, opened his arms wide, and quietly felt the last sunshine in the world. ——Life is really cruel. If you take a wrong step, there will be no chance to save it... ## Su Beixun looked at the ruins looming in the dust and bowed slightly. Planting bombs in schools has taken up the police's attention. In addition, since the murderer of a series of cases in their eyes died before their eyes, they will probably not investigate further into Kazama's area. ——Su Beixun has been in Hokkaido for so many years, so of course there must be an insider in the police force who passes information to him. As for Megure, according to the police's thinking, they will only investigate Su Beixun's whereabouts, and it will not be linked to Kazama. Next, all we have to do is silence Yamaguchi Lin. Su Beixun took one last look at the building that had turned into rubble and turned away. "Good night, Asakura. It's a grand funeral after all." This is from yesterday. I kneel down to you all, brothers, don’t be angry. When I was about to go to bed, I remembered that I was still missing a chapter, so I quickly got up and wrote it. I promise to be on time today!!
