Chapter 159 Politicians

"...Number 45 has appeared!"

When Kaoru heard Sugita's emergency notification on the phone, Higashino Ryusuke and Goshiro also heard it. The two looked at each other, and immediately acted swiftly.

Kaoru picked up her coat, gestured to apologize to Sakurako and the others, and asked into the phone, "Where is it?"

"In the Ikebukuro area, in the underground shopping mall of the station, large vehicles broke into all the entrances and exits. Someone outside the station witnessed the appearance of No. 45."

"At Ikebukuro Station!" Kaoru Ichijo, who went out with Ryusuke Godai, emphasized again, then hung up the phone and quickly ran to his police car.

"understood."

Higashino Ryusuke and Fifth Generation Yusuke also rode their newly equipped motorcycles - BTCS-2000, which were allocated to them only half a month ago.The three quickly rushed to the scene of the crime.

……

Near Ikebukuro Station, 11:27 am.

Dozens of police cars have surrounded the place, and the sound of sirens can be heard across several streets.

The area around the incident was cordoned off and the people were persuaded to leave.

When a few people arrived here, Morimichi Sugita had almost stabilized the situation at the scene, and the police work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Kaoru led Ryusuke and Godai through the cordon until they came to the destroyed underground shopping mall, and found Morimichi Sugita who was directing the work.

"Officer Sugita, how is the situation?"

"No. 45 has completed the crime and fled." Sugita looked at the collapsed entrance of the underground shopping mall in front of him with a heavy expression, and replied: "That guy drove a large vehicle and crashed all the entrances and exits of the underground shopping mall, and then started killing. I have notified the police stations in various jurisdictions to dispatch cranes to remove the rubble so that the death toll can be determined later..."

Sugita didn't continue talking, but Yiyi knew that the casualties this time would definitely be serious.

Such an underground commercial street, when it was near the station, had a lot of passengers, but there was almost no news of survivors... No, or more definitely, there would not be any survivors!
After a moment of contemplation, Kaoru looked at Ryusuke Higashino, and asked, "Ryujie-san, do you have any clues about the law of No. 45's crime?"

Goshiro Yusuke and Sugita Morimichi also looked over together.

Higashino Ryusuke flipped through the memories of Rick in his mind, and recalled: "In the super ancient times, Baberu had his own arena, and he usually likes to lock the captured Lindo in the arena and cannot escape. When the level is reached, kill them all.” (Second Design)

Kaoru frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Does that guy like to play their games in an environment like an arena?"

"No, I mean, the rule of the game No. 45 will probably be 'make the prey have no escape'!"

"So that's it!" Sugita Morimichi suddenly realized and patted himself on the head, "Is that why he crashed all the entrances and exits with a large vehicle?!"

The fifth generation also immediately put forward his own speculation, "So... will large semi-enclosed spaces like underground shopping malls, subway stations, and underground parking lots be his targets?"

"It's very possible." Kaoru nodded in agreement, "It's hard to escape after these places are closed, but... the underground parking lot doesn't have a lot of people, so the possibility should be the lowest among them."

"This is going to be difficult!" Sumita Morimichi sighed with difficulty, "It's easy to temporarily shut down some parking lots and underground shopping malls, but it's not so easy to close down the subway stations. The plutocrats might not get through at all.”

"Then apply for support from the regional police stations."

"It can only be this way……"

The Joint Search Headquarters doesn't have a lot of manpower, and the whole of Tokyo may be the target of No. 45. If you want to evacuate all the citizens in the underground buildings in time, you can only rely on the support of the police in each jurisdiction.

Moreover, the police were dispatched and scattered all over the city. Even if the attack on the 45th occurred again, they would be able to respond in a more timely manner.

"By the way, there is one more thing." After Kaoru and the others temporarily discussed the outcome of the response, Higashino Ryusuke said again: "Mr. Yichi, I would like to ask you, can you pay attention to whether there is a B1 nearby when evacuating the citizens?" track of the number."

It's impossible for him to ask like this.

It is almost impossible to find Rose Girl in normal times, but if there is Gu Langji playing the game, Rose Girl must be present as the referee. This is one of the few opportunities to find her, and Kaoru also decisively agreed to Ryusuke.

Next, after Kaoru and Morido Sugita proposed to their superiors together, the next step of the police's work quickly unfolded according to their ideas.

The sun soon reached noon, and they settled for lunch at a random restaurant near Ikebukuro.

The owner of this store seems to be a person who is more concerned about politics. The old-fashioned TV in the store broadcasts the live broadcast of today's Democratic Liberal Party election.

However, Goshidai and Ryusuke are not interested in this kind of thing. Although each of these speakers is better than the other, politicians are different from politicians. They are always the most slippery tricks.

Soon, it was time for the next well-dressed guy to rant on the podium.

The shop owner also came alive and exclaimed: "Here we come, it's the turn of Minister Gohara's son to give a speech."

These words caught Higashino Ryusuke's attention, and he raised his head to glance at the TV on the closet.

In the picture, a well-proportioned young man in a suit stepped onto the podium, his firm steps gave off a sense of sharpness and resoluteness, but he was smiling, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face concealed this sharpness. Show a unique affinity to.

"Hello, everyone, my hometown, Yuan Zhongxin..."

Higashino Ryusuke stared at the man in the suit on TV with his eyes narrowed, his mind became active.

This guy is Gohara Tadashin? !

Wu Dai had already finished his share of food, seeing Higashino Ryusuke's strange behavior, he also followed his gaze, and asked with some doubts: "Ryu Jie-san, what's wrong?"

During the live TV broadcast, Tadashin Gohara was still giving a speech "with deep affection": "...I hope that everyone can have a sincere communication with me and discuss with me what is a human being? What makes a human being a human being? What kind of definition is it based on, and on what basis should we protect human beings based on the definition? Today’s unconfirmed life event that seriously endangers human society also exposes the current shortcomings that we face when protecting human beings. How to solve..."

Higashino Ryusuke looked at it for a while before looking away, and found that Kaoru and Sugita looked at him with the same questioning eyes, probably because he was curious why he was suddenly interested in the election of members of parliament?

"Mr. Yiyi, I'm not completely sure at the moment..." Ryusuke said suddenly.

"What?" Kaoru looked at him puzzled.

"The two coffins of darkness Gu Langji so far are all trying to replace the original human identity in reality, and then use it to disguise themselves?"

"Numbers 47 and 48? Indeed..."

"That guy..." Higashino Ryusuke lowered his voice and pointed to the TV, "That person named Gohara Tadashin is most likely the last Gurangi lion in the Coffin of Darkness disguised!"

"what?!"

Except for Dongye, the other three raised their heads in surprise, and looked at the talking figure on the live TV in disbelief. Seeing the guy chatting and laughing and saying that he should fully consider the future of mankind, he just felt a little ironic.

The audience below cheered enthusiastically when Tadashin Gohara gave a speech, and some supporters even went to the point of screaming. They held up huge signs that read "Politicians imagined for the people" and "can entrust the future of politics Home" and a series of compliments.

But who would have thought that the true identity of such a person who talks about thinking about the future of mankind, for the sake of the smile of mankind tomorrow, and for mankind to make progress in the incident with Gu Langji, is likely to be Gu Langji who plays games by killing mankind. Where's Ronkey?

This is ridiculous!
