August 22, 9:27 a.m., General Conference Hall, Metropolitan Police Department Building. "So, is there anything else to ask about the overall plan of action?" Contrary to his previous highly concealed state, Amuro stood in front of the stage quite high-profilely, looking at everyone in the audience.

Commander of the 1st Garrison Section, Chief of the 1st Search Section, Commander of the 4th Search Section, Chief Officer of the 3rd and 6th Mobile Squadrons of the 1st Garrison Division, Chief Officer of the Special Section of the 6th Mobile Unit of the 1st Garrison Division, Chief Officer of the Special Gun Squadron of the 1st, 2nd and 9th Mobile Squadrons of the 1st Garrison Division...... The people in the first row of the audience are all powerful police officers with considerable energy, and their source of strength sits behind them. At this moment, the main armed forces of the entire police system, which had been dormant for a long time, had been fully activated under the warrant he had received from the State Public Security Commission, and among them were the most elite units that had been in secrecy for a long time.

(Search 1 is a forcible policeman, a veteran policeman with a lot of experience with guns.) So4 is an anti-organization group crime policeman, not to mention relevant experience. Police 1 is the core of the Metropolitan Police Department's armed forces, and as for the officers in charge of the mobile team and mobile team detachment under Police 1 who were invited separately...... In layman's terms, it is a special assault unit SAT that has not yet been officially listed, as well as the commanders of all sniper teams and all bomb disposal teams)

Now, the Metropolitan Police Department's core force will be used to fight Japan's largest terrorist organization.

"If not, please all go back and prepare your subordinates first, and we'll start at 4 p.m." Amuro was going to stop when he said this, but after hesitating for a moment, he added. "For the sake of Japan's safety, we gambled everything we ...... as police officers"

With that, Amuro took a step from the podium and bowed deeply to the people in the audience. "Please, everybody!"

The audience applauded thunderously.

……

On August 22, at 5:30 p.m., a warehouse at Yokota Flight Field.

"Are you all ready?" Shuichi Akai asked, looking at the last resting people in the makeshift dormitory built in the warehouse.

"Ready." About forty or fifty people responded in this way.

"The National Police Agency will be conducting a semi-cooperative operation with us this time," Akai said. "At about half-past four, they would begin their initial purge of the scattered contact points, eventually arriving at Target A at about half-past nine. Target A has been closed for renovations for the past few months, so there won't be too much pressure from the public when we start the assault around 10 o'clock. At the same time, I need to repeat that all armed enemy personnel I see can be shot directly without thinking - we have enough evidence of their guilt and enough ability to address the aftermath. ”

"Shoot it directly?" One of them replied. "Seriously, I don't think it's been a long time since I've seen such a straightforward authorization?"

"This time, we are facing the core base of the largest known terrorist group in Japan, and to be honest, although it is already an unprecedented large-scale operation, we are still at a numerical disadvantage. So we have to make sure that each and every one of us doesn't die in vain. Shuichi Akai shrugged. And this time it's an away attack, and we're not familiar with the terrain in the core there, so if we're not decisive, let alone casualties, we'll probably fail the mission. So, I ask you to enter the combat state immediately after entering the war zone, and enter in the most tense state, understand? ”

……

Aug. 22, 5:40 p.m., Orange House.

"Why are you here, what's the matter?" Qian Yu frowned slightly.

"Nothing, mainly ......" Conan's expression didn't seem very natural. Forget it, it's not me who asked for it this time, it's ......"

"Chiba Tachibana, right?" Standing behind Conan, Yusaku Kudo smiled softly and withdrew his gaze from Hotaru, who was telling stories to the children behind the door, and said to Chiha. "Mind if we come in and sit down?"

"Huh?" Qian Yu was taken aback. "Oh...... Good! ”

Yusaku Kudo, the main mastermind of the complete destruction of Kidd's first theft that the police had just done a month earlier aboard the Pearl Tree airship, was himself highly closely connected to the police...... In the current situation where the organization and the police are about to start a decisive battle, Chiba really feels that Yusaku Kudo's behavior here is a little strange.

And the other party's first sentence with Qianyu confirmed Qianyu's inference.

"You and this little girl are both members of the organization, right?" Yusaku Kudo took a cup of tea handed over by Ash Hara Ai and said quietly.

“！？” Chiba immediately locked on his facial expression with the auxiliary unit, but Gray Hara's Wai wrote the shock in his heart on his face. Then, both looked at Conan, who was sitting next to Yusaku Kudo.

"Don't think about it too much, of course I do," Conan said, with a rather unhappy expression. "I was suspicious early on, but I learned that it was on the Pearltree."

"It's still Mr. Akai's credit, Miss Akemi Miyano once took Mr. Akai home before, and I have seen photos of her when she was a child." Yusaku Kudo continued to say so gently. "If you talk about the time, it's probably between the end of June and the beginning of July."

"And what are you here for?" After a long silence, Qian Yu finally spoke again. "You don't want us to turn ourselves in, do you?"

"If you turn yourself in, will anyone believe you?" Yusaku Kudo's reaction exceeded Chiha's expectations. "I'm here to make a deal with you for this kid."

With that, he pointed to Conan.

"Deal?" Qian Yu was stunned, and he also saw Conan show a rather unhappy, but not daring expression.

"To be exact, it's a deal with this young lady, but given the relationship between the two of you, it would be difficult to make a deal if we didn't include you in the chips we offered." Yusaku Kudo also glanced at Conan's expression, and then turned his head to look at Ash Hara.

"What do you want to trade?" Gray Yuan Ai also sat next to Qianyu, and gently put one of his hands into Qianyu's hand, asking like this. "In the meantime, what's your chip?"

"The exculpation of the two of you on the side of the FBI, all previous mistakes and related benefits such as assets obtained from the mistakes are all exonerating." Yusaku Kudo offered his own price. "Including the house, everything here, or your assets, all of them are things that you can rely on for the rest of your legal life."

"Of course, I also need to get something from you that matches what is right for me."
