Chapter 1071: An alternative notice

"The current situation is that it is almost certain that someone has set their sights on Shibuya. Shibuya is not safe these days... It makes no difference whether you say this or not."

"Yes, the time is uncertain, the location is uncertain, and we are not even sure how wide the attack range is. It is impossible to identify the criminal based on the information that 'something might happen'."

"It's not even convenient to make emergency safety plans. Tsk, what a hassle. Now besides waiting for news from Maori, is there no other way?"

"The clues that man holds may be our last hope. Otherwise, we may just have to hope for a miracle."

As soon as Muranaka Tsutomu walked out of the meeting room, he saw his fiancée standing at the door, staring at the workstation of the Investigation Section in a daze.

He walked over to Christina, put his arm around her shoulders, and asked gently, "What's wrong? It seems like you've been in a bad mood all day."

The old injury on her right arm was affected by his hug, and Christina frowned instinctively, but soon the expression on her face adjusted to a gentle and soft one.

"No, maybe I've been in the police station for too long. There's always someone following me, which makes me a little uneasy... What's going on over there? Is there any problem?"

She pretended to be curious and asked Muranaka Nu about it - just like every time in the past when she had subtly extracted information from him, but this time the turn was a little abrupt.

Her plans were interrupted in many ways, and nothing went her way. She was about to lose her patience with this group of policemen.

First, the plan to find the policeman named Furuya Rei failed. Not only did Motobashi Yoji fail to lead out the person she was looking for, but he also attracted a trouble;

Afterwards, that stupid member of the kill team did show up, but whether there was a problem with the device during transportation or the signal was blocked and interfered with to a certain extent at the Metropolitan Police Department, the bomb that had been placed in the tablet failed to detonate successfully.

This is outrageous! The things inside were still functioning and sending feedback after the explosion! What happened to cause the internal structure that could not be destroyed by the explosion to fail? !

Not to mention, she had been feeling uneasy since noon today, as if someone was targeting her and wanted to cause more trouble for her.

As expected, Tokyo was a place that was naturally hostile to her. Nothing good ever happened here...

"Oh, it seems that one of our colleagues was kidnapped, and later we found out that the kidnapper wanted to target an international wanted criminal..." Muranaka Tsutomu was not on guard against his wife's question. After explaining it naturally, he touched his chin and thought seriously, "Yes, it is said that this person has set his sights on the central area of ​​Shibuya, not far from our wedding venue. Seriously, Chris, should we consider moving the wedding to another place? After all, you see, our situation is now here..."

Shibuya Hikari is certainly a great place to have a grand wedding, but Tokyo is so big, it’s not like there aren’t other places to get married.

If that doesn't work, changing the date would be fine.

"...But we have already chosen to stay in the police station temporarily in order to hold the ceremony on time. It would be a shame if we have to postpone it in the end, right?" Christina's fingertips were almost digging into her sleeves, but her face was still dutifully following her usual methods, skillfully showing a hesitant and uncertain expression. "If we postpone it now, all the efforts we made to make it a success will be in vain...This is to commemorate our meeting."

This is what Muranaka Tsutomu likes the most.

According to Christina's research, men who have been police officers for a long time are often happy for their partners to show a relatively indecisive and indecisive side. After getting used to playing the leading role in making decisions, they will also develop an instinctive sense of responsibility towards the other party who accepts their opinions.

She had put in a lot of effort to control this gullible policeman, so it was impossible for her to fail because of a momentary bad mood.

"What you said makes sense. Thank you for all the hard work in checking the guest list..." Muranaka Tsutomu touched his chin, "I'll go ask Megure later."

As expected, Muranaka Tsutomu was quickly caught by the slight sense of grievance that she expressed in a gentle manner, and once again gave up the idea of ​​changing the plan. Instead, he began to think about how not to increase the workload of the people in the First Investigation Section.

Having to deal with public safety issues and take care of his wedding at the same time is too much trouble for my old colleagues.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Christina nodded with a smile, and as soon as her eyes turned, her pupils suddenly shrank.

In front, a young man with brown hair pushed open the office door, holding a rather thick document in his arms. While talking to the police officer behind him, he walked straight through the busy office area and headed in another direction.

Muranaka Tsutomu and Christina are still going through the process, trying to find the possible attacker.

Although the list gets shorter as the elimination process proceeds, they are still unavoidable and need to spend several hours in the Metropolitan Police Department every day.

The small conference room they were currently in was within the First Investigation Section, and they could clearly see all the workstations in the entire office.

Therefore, Christina could clearly hear the young man's voice getting closer and closer.

"Akechi-kun, do you think the attack on Pramia will happen on Halloween?" Takagi Wataru hurriedly chased after Tang Ze who was striding forward and asked, "Why do you think so? If so, it will be troublesome."

The former village police officer Zheng has scheduled his wedding for Halloween.

It is said that this is to respect the customs of the woman's side and to commemorate the fact that he and his fiancée met in November. No matter how you look at it, it seems difficult to change the date.

If these two things collide...

"Based on the current information, it's very likely." Tang Ze quickly flipped through the folder in his hand, memorizing the file information in his hand, and answered casually, "The case that Pramia failed three years ago happened less than a week after Halloween."

"Ah, yes..." Takagi Wataru nodded, "November 11th."

Tang Ze paused, raised his head and glanced at Takagi Shigeru subtly.

No, buddy, don’t you think there’s something wrong with what you said?

On November 11, you yourself were in crisis because of Motobashi Yoji, who killed Jinpei Matsuda, and were trapped in the elevator of the Touto Tower with Conan.

Now it's the end of October again, and you still assume that this is the same year, right?

Even if another year has passed, everyone will still assume that it is the same year. Is this the power of Miss Sazae's world time view? It's so terrifying.

As expected, if he doesn't properly solve the problems of the entire organization, his protective observation will become a life sentence...

"...What's wrong?" Takagi Wataru, who didn't think there was anything wrong, looked back in surprise.

"Nothing. Anyway, what is certain is that Pramya's attack this time is likely related to the failure three years ago. Pramya captured and killed Yoji Motobashi because of Officer Matsuda. He cares more about failure than many people think." Tang Ze said calmly, "According to the theory of international research, this case means that it is a declarative bombing."

"This has been mentioned by a senior before. That is, the criminal's purpose is to retaliate against someone, or he needs to publicize his own ideas, and wants to use the explosion to attract attention." Takagi Shigeru took over and followed his train of thought.

Logically speaking, as a police officer in the Investigation Division, he should not need to deal with such cases.

However, I don’t know if Murphy’s Law is taking effect on Officer Sato. The more she cares about something, the more likely it is that the two of them will encounter it. While working well in Tokyo, they are frequently involved in various bombings, which is so frequent that it is hard to ignore.

So Takagi Shigeru also supplemented a lot of relevant knowledge. Although he cannot be called an expert now, he has learned a lot of theory.

"Well, so the attack by Pramya cannot happen silently. It must be earth-shattering and try to cause the greatest possible damage." Tang Ze took out the paper he had turned over and handed it to Takagi Wataru. "This is the traffic control area for Halloween in Shibuya. In other words, on Halloween..."

"The streets of Shibuya will be crowded with pedestrians because of restrictions. Just like Akihabara on weekends." Takagi Wataru's expression became serious.

He had understood what the young detective meant.

Since such a terrible criminal wanted to use a devastating explosion to publicize himself, naturally the more casualties it could cause, the better the effect.

"Pramya is a cold-blooded criminal who has lost all humanity. A 'professional criminal'."

Karasawa said this and took Takagi Wataru past Muranaka Tsutomu.

"I have studied this man for a long time. To be honest, I can understand why the Phantom Thieves of Hearts would focus on this case. This fits their criteria for selecting targets. For example..."

He tilted his head slightly, as if he was greeting the police officer next to Muranaka Tsutomu, or as if he was looking at Muranaka Tsutomu... and Christina next to him.

"...he is cunning, vicious, unsparing, and shows no remorse for the damage he has caused..."

Tangze's gaze moved to Christina's stiff beautiful face.

Due to the stiffness of the expression, this beautiful and elegant skin seemed to finally crack a little, revealing the inhuman nature underneath.

"…I even started to treat the curses against myself as honorifics, and really started to use them as code names…"

I don’t know if it was because of the angle, but when he said this, Christina seemed to catch a glimpse of bright light from his amber eyes.

Not with the kind of glow of praise, but...

It was as if some kind of lifeless metal was sticking out from the depths of the pupil, trying to pierce something.

Christina's left hand couldn't help but increase its strength, leaving a bloodshot red area on her right arm.

"...I actually don't agree with the current discussions about this person's identity. If you let me do this profile, I would think that Pramya is a woman."

"Ah?" Takagi Wataru, who had suddenly switched to the mystery channel for some reason, uttered an onomatopeia.

"A woman, a blonde, blue-eyed, white woman. She is favored by her living environment and is naturally lacking in empathy, but because of this, she has certain excellent qualities and is very outstanding in learning and practical skills. This, in turn, strengthens her arrogance, so naturally, when negative emotions need to be vented..."

Tang Ze dragged out the word, making sure that all his words reached the other party's ears, before he lightly threw out his conclusion.

"…She just wanted to blow it all up."

Under the influence of light and emotion, Christina's pupils suddenly dilated for a moment, the hairs on her body stood up instantly, and she suddenly entered a state of complete alert.

This hair color, this hairstyle...

And this one speaks in an arrogant and sarcastic tone, thinking he has a lot of style...

There is no mistake, there is no mistake, this person is the one who was there that day——

Before her expression got completely out of control, Tangze retracted her gaze and resumed her original pace, as if she had really just slowed down her pace out of courtesy and nodded to the policeman standing at the place she had to pass.

"It's just an inference. Don't make that expression, Officer Takagi. Inferences allow for mistakes."

"Well, okay, it's just that your conclusion is a bit shocking."

"Well, I know a lot of people won't agree, but I also reserve the right to believe in myself. Let's not talk about this anymore. I suggest you start checking all the major events in Shibuya on Halloween Eve, including some charity events and spontaneous tours. Although Pramiya didn't make any advance notice, I still suggest you treat it as..."

Tang Ze continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened, while his eyes lingered on the interface that only he could see.

In the corner of the screen, a portrait of a woman wearing a wizard hat, composed of contrasting black and white lines, suddenly lit up, and the alert level soared to an extremely high level, with a blinding red.

When it succeeded, he knew it worked.

“…An alternative notice.”

With a meaningful smile on his face, Tang Ze reorganized the documents and finally gave some kind advice.

"Pramya will be irritated by your reaction. You better prepare the explosive ordnance disposal team. It won't be quiet next time."

With this wave of provocation from him and the Phantom Thieves, even though the play up to now has little to do with the protagonist Pramya himself, the fireworks are about to explode.

----

"So, what exactly is Tang Ze trying to do?"

Looking at the woman in front of him who had not yet regained consciousness, Kenji Hagiwara sighed deeply.

"That's a bit extreme, but I think their goal is similar to ours. Now that we've found the temple of Pramya, why are we capturing these people?"

By the time Tang Ze finishes sending the official notice and thinks about some strategies to break through the palace, the matter will be almost settled.

Wouldn't it just add to the trouble if we wipe out all the enemies of our enemy at this time?

"Because of the organization's strategy, he is worried that it will affect these people, and..." Miyano Akemi looked at the woman whose eyelids were twitching wildly and struggling because of the keyword Pramya, even though she couldn't wake up, and sighed softly, "...carry out some traumatic memory treatment."

Tang Ze's original words were certainly not so gentle. His main purpose was probably to focus on the output rate of this group of people in the hall of fame.

——A mosquito's legs are also meat, that's what it means.
