People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 908 The Secret Chamber Opens, Hundreds of Billions of Yen
Members of the MIA unit have a significant advantage in hand-to-hand combat compared to regular officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Even now, equipped only with batons, they can still deliver an excessive amount of damage, striking six times per second.

However, this level of resistance is not enough to hinder Hikaru Motoi and Kazuma Kiryu.

Their advance was only slightly slower than when they hadn't encountered any MIA members blocking their way, and the police helicopter pilot saw exactly what Yuan Guang and his companion were doing as they advanced upwards.

Meanwhile, the MIA colonel, who had set off earlier and had an unimpeded journey, had already arrived at the top floor.

He grabbed the pendant hanging around Sawamura Haruka's neck and roughly ripped it off, then threw it at Jingu Kyohei, who was standing next to the mechanism door on the top floor.

Jingu Kyohei, who had been waiting for a long time, caught the pendant that flew towards him.

Without even glancing at whose photo was inside the pendant—he knew for sure that Yumi Sawamura's pendant wouldn't have his photo inside—he simply and decisively sent the photo directly into the gap in the mechanism.

Immediately, infrared scanning was performed on the pendant through the gap in the mechanism for authentication.

The secret door, which seemed impossible for the Tojo Clan to have secretly created, slowly opened within the sight of Jingu Kyohei and the others, and the lights inside the secret room also lit up in response to the outside world.

The banknotes, neatly arranged in a square shape, came into view.

"This is it! This is exactly what I wanted!"

Jingu Kyohei immediately became excited.

Now that the matter has been exposed, the 10 billion yen that his father-in-law asked him to launder certainly can no longer be laundered in the normal way, but he doesn't need to launder it now if he wants to use it.

All you have to do is take this money and fly away, transfer it to a Swiss bank account, and then leave the country.

No one can ever find the whereabouts of these billions of yen again. From now on, he can live a carefree life and even obtain a new identity in another country to start over!
"Commander Jingu, what should we do with this guy?"

The MIA colonel standing behind Jingu Kyohei was also momentarily stunned when he saw the 10 billion yen in front of him, but his previous training allowed him to quickly regain his senses and turn to look at Sawamura Haruka in the hands of another colonel.

If it weren't to avoid the situation where the pendant wasn't the key and we'd have to search again.

They have no intention of capturing Sawamura Haruka. Besides, now that the 10 billion yen secret room has been opened, this little girl is completely useless to them.

Whether to leave it or take it with us, it seems to be a bit troublesome.

Hearing others discussing her fate, Sawamura Haruka, who was still somewhat disoriented due to motion sickness from the previous high-speed driving, suddenly came to her senses.

She struggled as she spoke.
"Uncle Kiryu and the others will definitely come to save me! What you're doing is wrong!"

The numerous MIA members on the top floor of the Millennium Tower ignored Sawamura Haruka's words.

Whether what they did was right or wrong, they certainly know in their hearts. However, only children distinguish between right and wrong. The adult world is only about interests, and they don't care whether their actions are right or wrong.

Jingu Kyohei's gaze lingered on Sawamura Haruka for a moment.

Although Sawamura Haruka herself probably didn't know, he did know that Sawamura Haruka was his daughter. Even though he didn't particularly like the child, it seemed there was no need to kill her outright now. However, leaving her here seemed to be letting Sawamura Yumi off too easily.

Despite being his ex-wife, she openly betrayed him. He hasn't settled this score with Yumi Sawamura yet, so naturally he can't let her have it too easy.

"Get the money onto the helicopter first, and she can take it with her."

"If necessary, we can take them hostage; if not, we can deal with them once we land. We can't leave them here and let that bitch get away with it!"

Jingu Kyohei made up his mind.

He immediately ordered the other MIA members to move the banknotes to the helicopter on the top floor, while he personally took control of Sawamura Haruka and carried her to the top floor as well.

Members of the MIA unit took out bags they had prepared beforehand and began filling them with bundles of cash.

Having already understood the true nature of this plan and knowing that they would be leaving with Jingu Kyohei, they were now sparing no effort in filling the money container.

The more money they can take with them this time, the more money they will get once they escape danger!
However, just as they lifted the tarpaulin of the helicopter on the top floor of the Millennium Tower to load money onto it, the police helicopter also ascended to the top floor of the Millennium Tower.

The pilot of the police helicopter looked in surprise at the helicopter parked in the center of the rooftop, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, and informed the command center of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
"Headquarters, an MIA helicopter has been spotted on the top floor of the Millennium Tower. They appear to be loading unidentified bags of objects onto the helicopter, which are suspected to be the 10 billion yen in cash mentioned in the case!"

"My helicopter is not armed. What should we do next?"

—What? Helicopters? The MIA forces are equipped with helicopters?
Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's command center, the person in charge of this operation on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's side was Toshiro Odagiri, the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Department.

He had just been pondering the purpose of the MIA forces' proactive entry into the Millennium Tower, but upon hearing the reply from the police helicopter, he was startled and frowned.

As the Minister of Criminal Investigation, how could he not know whether police helicopters are equipped with different types of weapons?

Neither the rescue helicopters from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department nor the helicopters from the SWAT team are truly equipped with weapons. Helicopters that are armed are the ones deployed by the Self-Defense Forces.

Could it be that the Self-Defense Forces can come and help with this operation?

Odagiri Toshiro simply considered this possibility and immediately dismissed it.

It's true that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has a poor relationship with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, but compared to its relationship with the Self-Defense Forces, the relationship is on a completely different level.

In this situation, don't even think about having the Self-Defense Forces send helicopters to help!
"I will have the mobile unit send a helicopter over there."

Odagiri Toshiro frowned and said seriously.

"Stabilize your aircraft for now and don't let the MIA helicopters escape the tracking range. We'll give other instructions after the mobile team's helicopters arrive on the scene!"
