People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 903 Millennium Tower

The main entrance to the Millennium Tower.

Members of the MIA unit arrived at Millennium Tower ahead of Xiang Yuanguang and the other pursuing vehicles.

Without even glancing behind him, the MIA colonel sitting in the car grabbed Sawamura Haruka and pulled her out of the car, then quickly headed towards the Millennium Tower.

He didn't need to look behind him to know that the Japanese Public Security officers were very close.

The originally planned time was compressed due to this unexpected situation, and he had to race against time to get his men up there to avoid any other problems.

The MIA colonel has just appeared at the main entrance of the Millennium Tower with Haruka Sawamura.

The two MIA guards behind the door immediately grabbed the front door handle, making way for the colonel to enter the lobby. However, just as the colonel's gaze fell on the elevator lobby, one of the guards whispered something.

"Colonel, to prevent the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department from restarting the elevator to quickly reach the top floor later, the elevator has been forcibly shut down. You will have to take the stairs now."

The colonel in the MIA unit was naturally aware that the elevators would be forcibly shut down.

Having reached this level, he was a close confidant of Jingu Kyohei within the MIA forces, and Jingu Kyohei's plans were naturally not hidden from him. However, he was still somewhat impatient.

The reason is simple: the current situation is a bit worse than planned.

If we proceed as planned and go up to the top floor via the stairwell, we are very likely to be caught up by the Japanese Public Security officers along the way, which would make the situation even more difficult to handle.

He frowned and asked,

"Can't you restart it temporarily? Are you physically shutting down the elevator operation?"

The MIA members in the lobby on the first floor exchanged glances but remained silent.

Sometimes, not answering is also a form of answer.

Upon seeing this, the MIA colonel realized that Jingu Kyohei had physically shut down the elevator system in advance to prevent anyone from restarting it, thus eliminating any possibility of an accident.

He couldn't help but click his tongue.

He changed the way he grabbed Sawamura Haruka, hoisted her up, and rushed into the stairwell in a few steps. The bizarre physical abilities characteristic of the Conan universe were on full display at this moment.

If the elevator is still functioning normally now.

In terms of speed, the movement speed of an MIA colonel would probably not be much slower than the upward speed of an elevator, especially considering that the MIA colonel is carrying a load of several tens of kilograms.

The MIA members who had come from the First Trial Chamber with the MIA colonel followed closely behind.

Like the MIA colonel, they were all trusted confidants who knew the inside story. They naturally knew that this operation was absolutely against regulations and laws, and that blindly following orders would only result in them becoming scapegoats.

Therefore, they had long since become Jingu Kyohei's confidants, and there was still a place for the two of them in the helicopter's evacuation position. Otherwise, the MIA colonel would not have revealed the truth of the operation to Jingu Kyohei directly in the car.

Knock knock knock————

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the arrest warrant jointly signed by Superintendent General Hakuma and Superintendent General Moroboshi has been released, and the police helicopter of the riot police unit received the order and was immediately activated.

Inspector Nakamori, who was still slacking off inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, turned around and saw a police helicopter flying overhead, a look of surprise flashing across his eyes.

The last time a police helicopter was used was when he had just landed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and applied for the arrest of Kaito Kid, right? What's going on this time? Why are they even using a police helicopter?
Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Hakuba Saguru, who was looking up at some special information, looked out the window.

As a renowned detective who had returned from studying in England, he didn't know the reason why the police helicopter had been deployed, but he had some thoughts just from the recent high-profile public security case in Tokyo. "It seems that the Tojo Clan matter has become even bigger than I imagined."

"Strange, can a mere group of gangsters really achieve this level of success?"

Hakuba Saguru stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled.

On his shoulder, a falcon named Watson cried out twice, the meaning of which was unclear.

Didi————

Not far away, a dispatcher inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department exclaimed in surprise.
"What? Someone injured a bailiff, stole a police car from the courtroom, and then escaped?"

The operator's voice instantly caught Hakuba Saguru's attention.

He quickly walked a few steps to the operator's side.

As the son of Superintendent General Hakuba, he has been involved in the internal affairs of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department more than once or twice, and even the operators within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are already familiar with it.

Therefore, the operator had no intention of hiding anything from him; she simply said somewhat anxiously,

"The bailiffs over there have been attacked, and they hope we can send people over to provide support."

Hakuba Saguru frowned slightly, realizing that things were not so simple.

To injure a bailiff in the courtroom, the person must be either a defendant or a criminal suspect. This is especially true considering the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's recent deployment of a police helicopter and the arrest warrant that was just released internally.

Could it be that this matter is also related to the trial of that case now?
He asked,
"Who injured the bailiff? Where are they headed?"

The operator asked a few questions and immediately replied.
"It's Akira Nishikiyama, the murderer in the case of Sera Katsu, the fourth-generation leader of the Tojo Clan!"

"According to the patrol chief in charge of traffic control nearby, the police car that Jinshan Zhang stole was heading towards the Millennium Tower, which is the same direction as the police helicopter that was just hit!"

—It's the Millennium Tower again.

Hakuba Saguru subconsciously reached out and teased the falcon on his shoulder.

It seems he underestimated the seriousness of the public safety incidents that Xiang Yuanguang was dealing with. Had he known it was like this, he should have gone over to help in person.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

This matter has probably reached its most dangerous stage. Even if he is the son of the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he cannot get involved. He can only try to find out more about the situation later.

"Xiang Yuanguang..."

The famous detective, who had just returned from England, once again murmured the name of the legendary lawyer in Tokyo.

It seems necessary to make more contact with Xiang Yuanguang in the future. This person always seems to be involved in various major events, which may be helpful in investigating the illusionist assassin called Spider.

—After all, the illusionist's true identity is suspected to be the world's number one illusionist.

Although illusion and magic cannot be exactly the same, they are both just tricks to deceive the eye. As a famous black magician, Xiang Yuanguang should be able to handle one or two of them, right?
