Chapter 294

Chairman Shiratori takes his phone out of his pocket, flips through his contacts, dials a number, and says respectfully:

"Hello, is this the home of the Onmyoji, Lord Akaso... Ah, he's not there? Then may I have his mobile number? Oh, I'm sorry to bother you."

Hanging up the phone, Chairman Shiratori says anxiously: "This is terrible, Lord Akaso happens to not be home, and very few people know his mobile number. What should we do?"

"Dad, I, I will call."

Shiratori Sara says embarrassedly.

Huh?

The Shiratori family members all look at the young lady in surprise.

Shiratori Sara dials a number with a blushing face: "Akaso-san, my brother is seriously injured, can you come and help me? Ah, you've already arrived?"

Shiratori Sara turns her head and sees Akaso Kaze walking over from the corridor.

"Lord Akaso."

Chairman Shiratori and the others bow hurriedly.

Chairman Shiratori looks nervous and says respectfully, "Lord Akaso, the nurse said that Ninzaburo is afraid that this time..."

"We know that your magic power is profound and very powerful. If possible, please help us and save Ninzaburo."

"As long as Ninzaburo's life can be saved, we are willing to pay any price."

Akaso Kaze waves his hand and says indifferently: "Since he is Sara's brother, of course I cannot refuse to save him. Take me to the operating room immediately."

"Akaso-san~"

Shiratori Sara looks at the man with deep affection.

Akaso Kaze winks at her.

Chairman Shiratori pretends not to see and leads Akaso Kaze to the door of the operating room.

On the operating table in the operating room, the experts hired by the Shiratori family are working with the nurses, performing the surgery nervously.

The surrounding instruments are beeping non-stop; it is clear that the situation is extremely critical.

Hearing the sound of the door, the two nurses look up and exclaim: "My God! Who are you people? Who let you in?"

Hearing the nurses' exclamation, the people in front of the operating table turn to look.

These experts all serve the conglomerate, so of course they recognize Chairman Shiratori.

"Chairman Shiratori, what are you..."

"This is the Onmyoji, Lord Akaso; you must all follow his instructions."

"Follow his instructions?" Several medical experts are stunned.

"Why? Is it not possible? Can you guarantee my son's life?"

Chairman Shiratori sweeps a murderous glance at the few people.

The few people are immediately at a loss.

Shiratori Ninzaburo is truly hovering on the line between life and death; his heartbeat even stopped once.

He is on the verge of dying.

The few people look at each other; in this situation, having someone to take the blame seems quite good.

They nod in unison, and the several medical experts from Tokyo stand beside Akaso Kaze like assistants.

Akaso Kaze first takes a look with his Eye of Space.

Fortunately, he arrived in time; Shiratori Ninzaburo's soul was already emerging from the top of his head, and his feet were about to leave his body.

If he had been ten minutes later, he might have just been collecting a corpse.

He reaches out and presses on the top of Shiratori Ninzaburo's head, forcibly pushing the soul back in, and sends some magic power inside.

"Hiss!"

Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly catches his breath, and the beeping instruments immediately stabilize.

Huh, it actually worked!

Akaso Kaze didn't expect this move of his to actually be effective.

"Ah?!"

The surrounding experts are all stunned.

Who is this person?

He actually touched the patient's head and saved his life?

"What is the main problem?" Akaso Kaze asks.

"Mainly, there are several ruptures in the internal organs, which are very dangerous to suture, and there is severe bleeding in the brain that is difficult to clear," an expert says quickly.

"Oh, I see."

If it were before, Akaso Kaze really wouldn't have a way, but now it's different; he has acquired a new magic: Water Control.

He touches Shiratori Ninzaburo's head, uses his illusory hand of intent and Water Control, and pools of blood disappear from the brain out of thin air.

Then the internal organs; the accumulated blood and fluid are also cleared, the ruptures are all blocked by the hand of intent, and the blood vessels throughout the body immediately become unobstructed.

Then he uses Water Control to make the blood flow smoothly.

"Okay, the brain is no longer a problem. The internal organs still need to be sutured; don't worry about anything else, just focus on suturing."

Several doctors start suturing with half-belief.

Looking at the monitor, their hearts seem to be surging with huge waves.

What kind of ability is this? Even though there is a big hole in the internal organs, not a drop of blood is seeping out.

Their work only requires sewing up the ruptures.

It's simply as easy as sewing clothes.

Several dozen minutes later, the experts all breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, everything is sutured. Chairman Shiratori, your son's life has been saved."

They bow deeply to Akaso Kaze with sincere admiration.

"Lord Onmyoji's divine power is truly unparalleled; it has opened our eyes."

Chairman Shiratori also bows deeply: "Lord Akaso, thank you for saving Saburo! Our Shiratori family will never forget your great kindness!"

Akaso Kaze tries with prediction magic and finds no problems.

Only then does he smile slightly.

"I'll leave the rest to you; I'll be heading back now."

Chairman Shiratori hurriedly gets up to see him off.

Outside the operating room, he looks at his daughter and says with a smile: "Lord Akaso has worked hard; let my daughter see you off."

"Sara, there's no need for so many people here; you don't need to rush back, make sure to thank Lord Akaso properly."

Chairman Shiratori gives his daughter a wink.

Shiratori Sara nods with a blushing face and follows Akaso Kaze out.

As soon as they leave the hospital, the girl leans into Akaso Kaze's arms.

"Akaso-san, thank you~"

"That's your brother, how could I not save him?"

Akaso Kaze strokes the girl's hair.

Shiratori Sara's little head rests on Akaso Kaze's chest, and she says in a low voice: "Dad told me to thank you properly; tonight... I'm all yours."

Hearing the girl's words, Akaso Kaze can't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Really? You mustn't regret it."

He holds Shiratori Sara, takes a step forward, and is already back in his room.

Not long after, the girl's coquettish voice comes from the room: "Akaso-san~ you're so bad..."

"A continuation of the bombing case from three years ago?"

In a moving car, Conan is asking Sato Miwako about the case.

"Actually, today is the same date as the bombing incidents that happened seven and three years ago, and the culprit also sent a criminal message to the police, which is very similar to the message from three years ago."

Sato Miwako's expression is heavy.

"There should be two bombs, and the detonation times are at 12: 0 noon and 3: 0 in the afternoon tomorrow."

"Officer Sato Miwako," Conan, sitting in the back seat of Sato Miwako's car, suddenly speaks up, "Can you tell me why that criminal insists on causing trouble for the police?"

Sato Miwako falls silent, and as memories from the past surface in her mind, a trace of pain flashes across her face.

"In the bombing case seven years ago, there were two criminals. The bombs were placed in two high-end apartment buildings in the city. The criminals demanded 1 billion yen and warned that if any resident was evacuated, they would detonate the bombs immediately."

Sato Miwako explains slowly: "One of the bombs was barely defused within the deadline, but the other one was more complex. The police had no choice but to agree to the criminals' demands. After the criminals stopped the timer, they evacuated all the residents to prepare to defuse the bomb."

"But the criminals might have seen the TV rebroadcast and mistakenly thought the timer was still running, so they took the initiative to call the police to ask. The police thought this was an excellent opportunity to arrest the criminals, so they deliberately delayed the time to find out where they were calling from to make an arrest."

"Did they catch the person?" Conan asks.

"No, the criminal died in a car accident while fleeing. That was when the police realized there was another criminal. The other party detonated the bomb, and all the members of the bomb disposal unit who were defusing the bomb were killed."

Sato Miwako frowns slightly.

"The other criminal probably mistakenly thought the police deliberately set a trap by broadcasting fake news on TV to kill his companion. Every year after that, he sent faxes to the Metropolitan Police Department, until three years ago..."

"I understand." Conan muses, knowing the seriousness of the matter.

"So this time, just like three years ago, it's also the other party's revenge, right? Can you send me the criminal's fax from this time? It would be best to also give me the information on the incident from three years ago."

One hour later, they guess that the first bomb might be placed in a carriage of the Toto Line passing through Minami-Beika Station.

The police launch a large-scale search operation, and there are discoveries in many places, but all the bombs are prank-like fakes.

On the other side, the police officers searching the major baseball stadiums also find nothing.

Conan sits in the back seat, holding several documents that were just sent over, his brows slightly furrowed.

"I am a Knight of the Round Table: A warning to the ignorant and cunning police, today at noon and at 14: 0, in order to mourn the head of my comrade, I will set off interesting fireworks. If you want to stop it, please come to me. I have reserved seat number 72, waiting for your arrival."

This is the content of the bomber's fax from 3 years ago.

Back then, after Matsuda Jinpei received the fax, he rushed to the large Ferris wheel at the Beika Town shopping mall, which was "disc-shaped" and "had seat number 72."

When the police arrived, the criminal detonated the Ferris wheel controller, causing the Ferris wheel to lose control.

Matsuda Jinpei entered cable car number 72 alone to defuse the time bomb installed inside by the criminal, but he did not complete the final step; instead, he sent a final text message to Officer Sato Miwako before the explosion to remind her of the location of the second bomb.

"Officer Sato Miwako,"

Conan asks, "The report only says that Officer Matsuda sacrificed himself to save the entire hospital. Does it have anything to do with giving up on defusing the bomb? What happened in the end?"

Sato Miwako suddenly stops the car on the side of the road and lowers her head in silence.

"This officer... this officer is truly courageous; I really must praise this courage of yours. I will tell you the location of another, larger firework; you will see my hint 3 seconds before the explosion. I wish you success in advance."

Sato Miwako's pained voice rings out in the car.
