I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 323: Fifty-six Thousand Hostages

Takeo Miura pressed the button on the bomb.

The bomb instantly engulfed one of the entrances to the Tokyo National Stadium, causing it to collapse instantly. The shockwave immediately spread to everyone in the stadium.

In a country prone to earthquakes, their first reaction is that an earthquake has occurred.

Even the numerous Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers who were preparing to go backstage to investigate instinctively retreated to find open spaces to avoid the damage from landslides caused by the earthquake, but they quickly realized that it was not an earthquake.

Rather, it was damage to buildings caused by deliberately detonating bombs.

Someone used a loudspeaker to make a sound at the back-end entrance.

“This place is now under the control of the Steel Society. Inside the Tokyo National Stadium beneath you, we have planted explosives at various key structural points. We can detonate the bombs whenever we want.”

"Just like one of the entrances to the Tokyo National Stadium that was just bombed and collapsed."

"All 56,000 people in the stands of the Tokyo National Stadium will become corpses buried under the rubble because of our one idea. Therefore, I am only giving you one chance. Please return to your seats immediately and sit down."

"Otherwise, we will divide the public gallery of the Tokyo National Stadium into twelve equal parts and randomly detonate one of them."

Such a sound stunned Inspector Megure, who had just received orders from Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi and was preparing to lead the officers of the First Investigation Division into the backstage area for a security check—

He never expected such a terrible thing to happen at the scene!

Taking 56,000 spectators hostage at the Tokyo National Stadium? This is different from the two coercors who just forced 56,000 spectators to commit random killings; these are true terrorists!
In Inspector Megure's opinion, the only ones who could be compared to him were those two extraordinary individuals in Hakodate City.

One is Brian D. Kadokura, the "Death Merchant" who planted explosives throughout Hakodate City in an attempt to destroy several densely populated areas. The other is Takuzo Onoe, who gathered hundreds of gangsters and police officers for a public shootout!

The first two were captured on the spot by Batman, but the third one is still at large!

“I know that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers have entered the Tokyo National Stadium, but I demand that you all abandon your operation and exit from the other exit of the Tokyo National Stadium.”

"Otherwise, I will detonate the bomb again, and many of you will perish with it."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's face turned grim.
He was hesitating whether to follow the instructions from the person behind the loudspeaker, but the next instant, flames suddenly erupted in the center of the football field at the Tokyo National Stadium, followed by a deafening explosion.

If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers hadn't stopped the race beforehand,

The many players who were sweating it out on the green field have retreated. This explosion alone is enough to wipe out the two high-profile star football teams!

“I also had someone arranged for me in the stands at the Tokyo National Stadium, so I could see.”

"This is the last warning. You must disappear from my sight immediately, or I will detonate one-twelfth of the area and make 4,600 spectators pay for your stupidity!"

The Tokyo National Stadium was now in an uproar.

Deputy Inspector Moroboshi's expression shifted several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at Inspector Megure, and gave the order.

"Megure, lead the officers of the First Investigation Division out of the Tokyo National Stadium!" "Notify Superintendent General Hakuba and Chief Inspector Toshiro Odagiri to prepare the next rescue plan. This is no longer something your First Investigation Division can handle!"

Inspector Megure finally gritted his teeth and said,
"Takagi, Sato, let's get out of here first!"

Dozens of plainclothes police officers who had infiltrated the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's gallery, under Inspector Megure's orders, retreated from all directions and slowly left towards another exit of the Tokyo National Stadium.

The many spectators at the Tokyo National Stadium who witnessed this scene were understandably alarmed.

Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is often seen as useless by the public, people still instinctively seek its protection when in danger.
Police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have already entered the Tokyo National Stadium, but are now being forced to withdraw due to threats.

How could this not cause them to panic?
However, these spectators did not say anything to stop the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers from withdrawing, because they were afraid. The Steel Society had clearly shown them with two bombing operations that the Steel Society was really capable of taking action.

Their act of calling out to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers could be seen as a provocation by the Steel Gang, and who knows how many people would die because of it! They didn't want their lives to be worthless chips in a game of probability!
After all the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers had left the area of ​​the Tokyo National Stadium.

The man in black mask spoke again.

"Kaneko, the director of Nichiri TV, please broadcast the current situation at the Tokyo National Stadium live. I need your filming helicopter to hover above the Tokyo National Stadium and not leave this area."

"You don't want the lives of 4,700 spectators at the Tokyo National Stadium to be lost because of your irresponsibility, do you?"

The Nichiuri TV director, whose name was called, trembled with fear.
He forced himself to stay upright and gave instructions to the live broadcast helicopter of Nichiri TV, instructing the helicopter to film in real time and broadcast the situation at the Tokyo National Stadium live.

Black Mask then continued.

"I have to tell you something."

"All that I've done is thanks to Batman and the Suzuki Corporation! They've stripped me of my dignity and left me with no way out! They are the real culprits, the ones you should all hate!"

"Superintendent Moroboshi, Deputy Inspector General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, please come backstage. I'd like to say a few words to you as well."

—Inspector General Moroboshi, Deputy Inspector General?

Many spectators were shocked. This was a high-ranking figure in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and yet he was among the hostages at the Tokyo National Stadium!
Deputy Inspector Moroboshi's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

Hideki Moroboshi, standing beside him, tugged at his sleeve, looking at Inspector General Moroboshi with a hint of panic. However, Inspector General Moroboshi simply patted Hideki Moroboshi's head in reassurance.
The next moment, he stood up, faced the backstage area, and said loudly,

"I am Toshio Moroboshi, the Deputy Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

“Takeo Miura, your illegal actions will be punished by the police sooner or later! I advise you to abandon this terrorist attack immediately. If you detonate the bomb, I dare say that you will not leave the Tokyo National Stadium area alive!”

Deputy Superintendent Morohoshi, sweat beading on his forehead, walked step by step backstage.
He then said loudly,

"For your own life, you must never do anything to harm these civilians. No matter who promises you any benefits, if you actually harm these civilians, those promised benefits will never be fulfilled!"

"Even your closest friends and family, he'll kill you to silence you! Wake up, Takeo Miura!"
