Chapter 200 "False blue sky and white clouds"

"Put down your weapons, get out of the car and raise your hands to surrender!!"

Officer Megure held a big red loudspeaker and stood among the crowd to persuade the white van to surrender.

But it is a pity that the constant calls to persuade him to surrender were of no use at all. The van just stopped where it was without any movement.

However, the prisoner was already caught in a trap and had no possibility of escaping, so the police did not choose to attack him for a while, but stayed in a stalemate with him.

After all, the prisoners still have guns in their hands, which may cause casualties. If possible, they still hope to adopt a safer method of persuading them to surrender.

Of course, the police cannot pin all their hopes on the prisoner. During the stalemate, the sniper has already found a nearby sniper point. If the prisoner chooses to attack later, he will be killed instantly!
  No matter what the other party chooses, they will have a foolproof plan.

After all, from the moment of the siege, the initiative was in the hands of the police, and the opponent's stalemate would only gradually expand their advantage.

In the white van, the previous pride had long since disappeared, replaced by the ugliness of human nature.

"The mastermind is Masaharu, right?"

In the silent car, Rabbit looked at the police around him, then at the silent Heihe Masaharu, and suddenly spoke.

"Well, right."

Huang Mao heard "Rabbit"'s words to shirk his guilt and responded without hesitation.

"It was Masaharu who came up with the plan to attack the cash recycling truck, and it was Masaharu who decided to plant a bomb in the hut."

After "Rabbit" heard Huang Mao's echo, he must have immediately blamed himself and said: "Even the person who killed Ueno was Shoji. He was the one who handed the coffee. Neither of us were present."

"Yes."

Huang Mao said in a hurried tone: "All the decisions were made by Zhengzhi, and the person was killed by himself. It has nothing to do with us. We agreed before that the money would be two and a half billion, and he who came up with the idea was one billion, so Zhengzhi is the mastermind. We are just accomplices in coercion!!”

As if grabbing the last straw for a drowning man, Huang Mao picked up the gun with a ferocious expression and pointed it at Heihe and Masaharu, "You are not allowed to cause trouble!!"

In the dim car, the three people who were originally accomplices started fighting among themselves at this moment.

Huang Mao and "Rabbit" completely exposed the ugliness of human nature at this desperate moment.

The two had already made plans to be arrested, and were now preparing to pin all charges on Heiwa Masaharu in order to get the lightest sentence.

"Don't worry, I didn't intend to ask you to get into trouble. I am the mastermind."

When Huang Mao pointed a gun at him, Heihe and Zhengji showed no trace of anger. Instead, they looked out the window and said calmly: "Go ahead, you guys are planning to surrender."

"Is it okay?" Huang Mao was startled when he heard this, and then asked in disbelief.

"Ah, of course, go ahead."

Under the urging of Hei and Masaharu, Huang and Mao threw away their guns from the driver's and passenger's doors, then slowly got out of the car and walked towards the police with their hands outstretched.

Soon, criminals holding explosion shields rushed up like a swarm, forming an iron wall facing the white van. The police officers who followed immediately subdued the two prisoners and took them to the back of the bunker formed by police cars.

Seeing this scene, Heihe Masaharu smiled, then picked up the clown mask and put it on his face. Holding a gun, he slowly opened the car door under the eyes of the criminals as if they were facing an enemy.

When the clown with colorful curly hair and a funny smile got out of the car with a gun, and saw the scene in front of him, a group of criminals took a step back while holding up their guns.

The clown at the beginning was synonymous with being funny and weird and making people laugh.

But I don’t know when it changed from a comic image to a synonym for horror. No one knows what kind of morbidity and madness is hidden under that funny smile.

And precisely because we don’t know, it’s scary.

When the prisoner wearing a grinning clown mask pointed his gun at himself, everyone invariably felt the other person's madness.

"Stop, Heiwa Masaharu!" Officer Megure shouted with a bullhorn, but Heiwa Masaharu had no intention of stopping.

Just as the index finger on the trigger was about to be pressed down, a male voice with a thick Osaka accent sounded from inside the van.

"Moxi Moxi, can you hear me? I'm Hattori~"

"I am Conan~"

A slightly exaggerated and relaxed tone came from the intercom, causing Heihe and Masaharu to stop what they were doing and turn their heads to look inside the car.

"Hattori-kun, you seem to be in good spirits," Heiwa Masaharu replied calmly through the walkie-talkie.

"You pulled out the detonator on the bomb, right?"

Hattori Heiji smiled and said: "We only found out after we were rescued, which means you had no intention of killing the hostages from the beginning."

"Heiwa Shoji, I am Karasawa Genichi."

"Ah...that criminal?"

Heiwa Masaharu, wearing a clown mask, asked without any emotion: "What's the matter?"

"Actually, I have been investigating you and found the only photo in your room. You wrote a sentence on the back of the photo, right?"

Karasawa stood at the innermost side of the encirclement, looking at Heiwa Masaharu directly in front, and the words were transmitted from the intercom to the other side: "From the moment I saw that sentence, I have been thinking about the meaning of that sentence.

——"False blue sky and white clouds", does this sentence refer to the sky scene reflected on the reflective glass of the Asahina Security Building?
  During these seven years, you have been staring at the false sky reflected on the mirror at your place of work.

And in the area where homeless people live, where your father died of illness, you can clearly see the tall buildings opposite, as well as the blue sky and white clouds. "

Tangze listened to the rapid breathing coming from Heiwa Masaharu during the silence on the intercom, and continued: "The rich have vast fields, and the poor have no place to stand. Near this park, the two formed an extremely strong and twisted contrast.

That building, reflecting the false sky, protects a huge amount of money that the poor will never be able to reach in their lifetime.

In your eyes, that tall building is just like this. "

Then by chance, he unexpectedly met Ueno Hirayama, and the two had some contact.

And by chance, when he was filling out his resume when applying for a job, he saw the signature of the previous person's guardian - Asahina Hanzo, the owner of that tall building.

These two fateful coincidences came to him one after another, causing a plan to form in his mind involuntarily, and even made him feel that it was God's will.

So, he decided to complete his plan and steal one billion yen from the tall building that reflected the false sky.

Then use the stolen money to buy something.

And this kind of thing is...

　PS: The number of the cash recycling truck in front actually hints at the building in Chapter 196~
