The case finally had some clues, and the wrinkles on Officer Guimu’s forehead had relaxed a lot.
But when he heard that the murderer might be a man wearing cleaner's clothes, Junichi Choino's expression changed, and he couldn't help but think of the person he met in the morning.
Gui Mu was busy conducting the next investigation and it was not convenient to stay longer, so he said goodbye to everyone.
When Ichijo Kaoru wanted to help, Officer Katsuragi glanced at the young detective who was following him, coughed slightly and refused: "No, I think you are here to participate in the flute competition held by Amikawa Company. Since you are here at Makuhari Now, you are the guests, how can you trouble the guests to do things?"
After the young detective walked some distance ahead, Katsuragi turned around and covered his mouth and nose with one hand and whispered to Kaoru Ichijo: "But if something happens, I still have to ask you."
Although Ichijo wanted to help, he couldn't directly intervene when he saw the situation, so he could only go back to the theater with everyone to watch Mika's performance.
After the interview, Chouno Jun had nothing to do, so he went along with him.
The flute competition continued without the president's speech. Natsume Mika performed very well. Maybe she was not the most powerful among the many contestants, but she could see her serious attitude towards the flute.
Because that was a hobby that her father, Professor Natsume, had always hoped for Shiga to learn. After nearly losing his father, Professor Natsume devoted himself entirely to the work on the ruins of Mt. Kuro, and rarely spent time with his family, so Shijia also cherishes his father's expectations for him more and learns the flute well. Participating in this competition is also a kind of proof to his father.
The melodious sound of the flute floated in the theater and gradually faded into nothingness. Shiga on the stage bowed and saluted, ending his performance.
The audience in the audience burst into applause, and Godai raised his thumbs vigorously to cheer for Mika.
"Clang!"
The door of the theater was suddenly slammed open, and then a man hidden in a cleaner's uniform hijacked a man in a suit and leather tie who looked like a politician and broke into the theater hall.
A deafening gunshot interrupted the excitement in the theater, and people fell into panic after seeing the intruder carrying a gun. Natsume Mika who was on the stage was even more overwhelmed and covered her ears, frozen in place in shock.
Kaoru Ichijo immediately wanted to get up and rush out. His right hand was already in his arms and he wanted to take out his gun. However, when he saw the criminal suspect approaching the band stage, he tried his best to restrain himself and did not act rashly. If the criminals were alerted, Shiga would probably suffer.
Godai and Ryusuke reacted faster than Ichijo, but in the face of this situation, they had nothing to do. If any of their actions irritated the criminals, it might lead to the death of innocent people, so they could only stay in Watch the changes from their respective positions.
The theater hall suddenly became chaotic, and countless people left their seats and wanted to escape.
The man dressed as a janitor also hijacked the politician and climbed onto the band stage. Shiga fell down and backed away in fear. The janitor took up the position of the microphone, pointed a gun at the audience and shouted ferociously: "Nothing is allowed." Move, get back to your place!"
The huge sound wave made everyone have to go back obediently, and the whole place was silent.
The janitor man looked at the door nervously, looking even more flustered than the hostage he was holding, and the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.
As expected, the person who was kidnapped was a face that many people present, including Kaoru Ichijo and others, found familiar - Gohara Tadaki.
However, at this time, although Gohara Tadashi's hands were tied and he was obediently performing his role as abductee and hostage, the expression on his face seemed calm and relaxed.
Jun Choye, who was hiding behind the crowd, looked at the sudden change at the scene in confusion, and was still a little unable to recover. When he saw the janitor man with a gun, his pupils focused in an instant.
Is it really him... the person I asked for directions in the morning?
The criminal police officers from the Makuhari Police Station led by Officer Katsuragi rushed to the scene quickly, but were stopped outside the door by the janitor man. Katsuragi also knew that the suspect was emotionally unstable now and could not just barge in, otherwise It will only be counterproductive.
The situation fell into a stalemate for a while. The janitor man took the newly-minted politician Xiangyuan in his hands and the large number of audiences in the theater as hostages, leaving Gui Mu and the others helpless.
"Get away from me, don't come near me!" the male cleaner roared in a stern voice.
Gui Mu leaned outside the door with an ugly face, carefully looking at the situation in the theater, and said in a deep voice to the police officer beside him: "This guy may shoot at any time, please go and apply for support from other regional police stations first. With so many people being kidnapped, it is no longer something we can handle easily."
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Kaoru Ichijo sitting near the front row in the auditorium, and he suddenly had an idea.
He knew Ichijou Kaoru's habit of turning on the phone ringtone when needed for work, but if he chose to send a text message, there would be no prompt tone. However, how to take out the phone under the nose of the criminal suspect and check it would have to look at Kaoru Ichijou's own Operated.
He quickly took out his phone, edited and sent it.
"One, later we will have negotiators to attract the criminal's attention and induce him to relax his vigilance. If necessary, please seize the opportunity to kill him!"
After sending the message, Guimu looked nervously at the audience. He was also worried that doing so would implicate his old friend. If he was not careful, his life might be in danger.
But for the sake of other citizens, as a police officer, he couldn't care less.
Higashino Ryusuke, who was sitting next to Kaoru Ichijo, felt something in his heart. He already sensed something, and there was that wonderful feeling, as if he already knew what Ichijou wanted to do next.
So he slowly moved his body and deliberately sat sideways, blocking the view of the cleaner man on the stage at this angle, giving Kaoru Ichijo a chance.
Katsuragi believed in Kaoru Ichijo's strength as a police academy legend, but he was extremely nervous at the moment. It wasn't until he saw Ichijou nodding slightly to him from the distance that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Next, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
However, what Officer Katsuragi didn't expect was that their negotiator hadn't arrived yet. Instead, it was the kidnapped Gohara Tadashi who took the lead and spoke without any scruples, negotiating for himself.
"In your right pocket, do you have a photo of yourself and your family?" Goyuan was choked by the janitor man from behind, but he said calmly.
The cleaner man's attention was attracted, but he was obviously still in a panic, "What?! How did you know..."
A faint smile appeared on Xiangyuan's face, just like the one he had given in his previous TV speech, "Actually, you haven't seriously considered the consequences of doing such a thing, have you? Because you are afraid."
"My family has all died a long time ago, and I only have myself left. I won't be afraid!"
"If you really weren't afraid, you should have shot him when you broke into the office in Yichuan City. Why hide him? You still want to get something, and you are not willing to just be a member of the family. The unknown guy was arrested by the police..."
"Hey... I'm so annoying, shut up!!"
"Bang bang bang!" Several loud gunshots made everyone present scream again.
The janitor man fired several shots at the ceiling one after another to relieve his restless heart. He shouted at Gohara Zhongxin with a ferocious expression: "Why should I be afraid? It's you who should be afraid! I'm kidnapping you, why?" You have such a disgusting expression?! What do people like you know? You are so high and mighty, what do you know!"
The police outside the door were still shouting at the suspect to calm down. If he really killed someone, he would never be able to look back.
But at the same time, they are also miserable in their hearts. Generally speaking, it is rare for a hostage not to be so scared that he loses control of his emotions and does not cause trouble to the police. Who knew that this newly elected congressman is so fierce, and he is not exciting enough? Seeking death?
