Chapter 1079

At least Sonoko, who originally only knew how to play the "Drum Master" game, looked like she knew what she was doing, and Ran had also adapted to the keyboard.

They were only performing one song, and since the song he brought out wasn't too difficult, if they practiced continuously, it was hard to say if they would be a hit, but there shouldn't be any problem with the official performance.

One couldn't expect too much from a band made up of amateur girls.

Metropolitan Police Department, stepped conference room.

"Today at 21:50, the National Institute of Microbiology in Nishitama City was suddenly attacked by a 7-person armed group. The armed group subdued two security personnel, coerced the duty researcher into invading a high-security laboratory, and fled the scene a few minutes later, detonating plastic explosives placed inside the room."

"Inside the destroyed laboratory, a certain very dangerous bacterium was stored, which is presumed to have been stolen by the criminal group."

When Akaso Kaze arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri, and the Assistant Commissioner of the Criminal Investigation Department were holding a press conference, requesting reporters to cooperate with the police in their reporting.

"Is the situation very serious?" Akaso Kaze stood outside the conference room and asked Megure.

Calling him over late at night, and with the Criminal Investigation Department making such a big fuss to prepare to block the news, it couldn't be a small matter.

"Yeah," Megure's expression was grave, "Although it's not our First Investigation Division's place to intervene, I always feel there's some kind of problem. It doesn't look like a simple terrorist attack, so I specifically invited you here."

"But what can I do when I come over?" Akaso Kaze said speechlessly.

"Assistant Commissioner!" A reporter in the conference room asked the spokesperson, "Is there any possibility that the explosion could lead to a bacterial leak?"

"There is no such possibility. Even if there were any bacterial residue, it would have long since been burned away. This has already been confirmed by the director of the institute."

"At present, it is impossible to know the criminal group's objective, and the possibility of a biochemical terrorist attack cannot be ruled out. Therefore, we would like to request your assistance. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, please limit the content of your reports to the explosion incident."

A police officer ran through the corridor in a hurry and entered the conference room from beside Akaso Kaze and Megure.

"Inspector," Takagi followed, covered in sweat, and reported in a low voice, "The criminal group has issued a statement of the crime online, calling themselves the Red Siamese Cats!"

"Red Siamese Cats?" Megure asked strangely, "Is that the organization that carried out terrorist attacks against large financial groups? But wasn't that organization wiped out ten years ago?"

"That's not clear yet, but," Takagi looked around and said with a bitter face, "Are we really going to intervene? No matter what, it's…"

Megure frowned and didn't speak, only turning to Akaso Kaze.

"It is indeed a bit strange," Akaso Kaze held his phone to check the news online, "If their goal was to take the bacteria, why did they blow up the laboratory? And they even specifically made a statement online."

"We, the Red Siamese Cats, have attacked the National Tokyo Institute of Microbiology and successfully obtained the lethal bacteria. We will launch our next operation within seven days. Please stay tuned."

Looking at the content online, Akaso Kaze frowned slightly and pondered.

It seemed he had some impression of this; it was also a theatrical version, and it was even related to that airship of the Suzuki family.

The figure of Sonoko's uncle, that old man Jirokichi Suzuki, appeared in Akaso Kaze's mind.

Right, it was the airship "Lady of the Sky" that Ai had just mentioned.

For the sake of the front page, Jirokichi Suzuki built the world's number one airship and seemed to be preparing to issue a challenge to Kaitou Kid.

But come to think of it, the old man's front page was gone again. After all, a terrorist attack had occurred, and the Red Siamese Cats organization was also a very topical subject.

"Regardless, the problem this time is big," Megure said in a deep voice, "It is said that the mortality rate of that bacterium is as high as 80%, and there is no good treatment method yet. If the other party really has further actions."

Saying this, Megure bowed cautiously to Akaso Kaze and said, "Lord Akaso, just take it as my personal request. I can only rely on you now!"

"Ah, this," Akaso Kaze came back to his senses and smiled slightly, "I will do my best."

If he remembered correctly, that so-called terrorist organization didn't take the bacteria at all; the statement online was just deliberately creating panic.

However, it was certain that there were other actions. Although he didn't remember the specific goal, since it was a case in a theatrical version and the other party had bombs, it was possible that old man Jirokichi Suzuki's airship would be blown up this time.

It could be considered a big case.

Akaso Kaze ignored the reporters who swarmed out of the conference room after getting the news and left along the corridor alone.
