Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Just then, the lights of Tokyo Tower suddenly went out, and the phone in Tatsuno's hand rang.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Longye's lips as he answered the phone in an Irish voice: "Hello, it's me."

"So, did you get the memory card?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, a smile flashed across Longye's eyes: "Of course, Gin."

"That's good. Go up the stairs on the outside of the tower and let me see the memory card."

"I'm already out."

No sooner had Longye finished speaking than an armed helicopter suddenly appeared.

The next moment, the searchlights under the armed helicopter kept changing direction, seemingly searching for the location of "Ireland".

A few seconds later, the searchlight finally shone on Tatsuno's location, and Tatsuno waved to the helicopter.

Gin, who was on the helicopter, was about to ask Ireland to show him the memory card when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

At this moment, what appeared on the helicopter's night vision screen was not Ireland.

But...

“Shuichi Akai!” Gin gritted his teeth.

Upon hearing the name through the headset, Vodka, who was piloting the plane next to him, was momentarily stunned and glanced down at the screen.

"Big...Big Brother?! How could he..."

Gin stared coldly at Shuichi Akai on the screen.

In an instant, he understood what had happened—it was an FBI trap!

The FBI had long been watching Ireland, who was disguised as Matsumoto's manager.

Since Shuichi Akai is here and knows about the chip, it means that Ireland inside the tower has been captured or killed by the FBI.

Although they didn't know when he sneaked into the tower, they had thoroughly investigated the area around Tokyo Tower before setting off.

It can be confirmed that there is no large FBI force here.

Therefore, Gin's first reaction was: to kill Shuichi Akai first.

……

Amuro Tooru and Grey Goose, who were holding sniper rifles behind them, were also taken aback.

Shuichi Akai?

Unlike the gray goose who had never interacted with Shuichi Akai, Tooru Amuro was quite familiar with the name.

Although he didn't know why Gin and the others suddenly brought up this name, Amuro Tooru's eyes instantly sharpened.

--"boom!"

Just then, Longye fired a shot at the helicopter, which hit the helicopter's cabin door.

Seeing this, Gin thought for a moment, then said angrily, "Vodka, turn the machine around and prepare to use that! We can't let him leave this tower!"

Upon hearing this, Vodka immediately turned the nose of the plane around and aimed the machine gun at the front of the plane at the location where Shuichi Akai was.

The next second, Gin reached out and pressed the fire button on the machine gun.

With continuous firing, bullets from the machine gun poured out, chasing after Shuichi Akai.

A few seconds later, Longye ran to the other side of the tower.

The helicopters also changed direction and temporarily ceased fire.

Seeing that the machine gun had failed to hit Shuichi Akai, Gin on the plane frowned, keeping a close eye on the screen, ready to fire at any moment.

Just then, a bullet accurately hit the helicopter's fuel tank, and the tail of the helicopter instantly caught fire.

As the warning beeped from inside the machine, Vodka said anxiously, "Brother! If this continues..."

"There's no other way, let's retreat."

"..."

After the flaming helicopter flew away, Longye looked up and nodded in satisfaction.

Under his "special guidance," all the machine gun bullets hit the "tower tip."

At this moment, the spire is already teetering on the brink of collapse.

After calculating the angle, Longye raised his sniper rifle and fired at the key stress point at the top of the tower.

--"boom!"

With the sound of gunfire, the spire of Tokyo Tower fell from the top of the tower and landed in a nearby park with a loud bang.

—"BOOM!!!"

Longye glanced down at the dusty park, then turned and flew into the sky.

……

Early next morning

At Tatsuno's home.

Longye and Xiaolan had just prepared breakfast and sat down at the table.

After taking a bite of the pancake, Tatsuno got up and walked to the sofa to find the TV remote.

Perhaps it's a habit I developed in the past, but I always feel like something's missing if I don't watch something while eating.

Just then, Longye's cell phone on the dining table suddenly rang.

After glancing at the caller ID, Xiaolan answered the phone for Longye and turned on speakerphone.

Then I casually put my phone aside, picked up my chopsticks, and waited to watch TV.

"Xiao Lan, turn on the TV right now!!"

"What's wrong, Dad? Why do you sound like..." Xiaolan frowned slightly.

"I have to go now, I'm on my way to the Metropolitan Police Department! If you and Tatsuno have time, go to Beika Hospital! That wretched brat is causing trouble again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone.

Although they still had some misunderstandings, both of them heard Kogoro Mouri's last complaint clearly.

Ran immediately realized that Conan must have done something "good" again.

But why turn on the TV?

Xiaolan looked at Longye in confusion, while Longye took the remote control and returned to the dining table, turning around to turn on the TV.

Two seconds later, the TV turned on.

Strangely, the drama channel that was supposed to be broadcasting "morning soap operas" has now become a "news channel".

"—Last night, Tokyo Tower was attacked by an unidentified group that was flying armed helicopters..."

Upon seeing the news, Xiaolan's chopsticks froze in mid-air.

Xiaolan didn't come to her senses until the news ended.

"Tatsuno! This...how is this possible?! Tokyo Tower really fell into the hands of these people...?!"

……

Metropolitan Police Department First Investigation Division

The usually chaotic First Investigation Division was now in complete disarray.

Inspector Megure, who was sitting in his seat, hadn't put down his phone for hours.

Last night, Inspector Megure, who was in charge of the arrest operation, was sitting in his office, responsible for integrating intelligence and acting as an information relay station.

But halfway through, he suddenly received a call from Officer Sato.

On the phone, Sato and Takagi delivered news that struck him like a bolt from the blue.

—'The real Matsumoto manager was tied up in a wooden hut by unknown individuals; the Matsumoto manager they saw was an imposter.'

Inspector Megure knew the two men very well and understood that they would never joke like that.

After instructing the two to take good care of Manager Matsumoto at the hospital, Inspector Megure gripped the corner of the table tightly, cold sweat pouring down his face.

Before Inspector Megure could even process the news, a subordinate suddenly approached him with a panicked expression and told him some more "big news."

— Countless people called to report an armed helicopter over Tokyo Tower.

Upon hearing this news, Inspector Megure's eyes completely lost their color and became empty.

Chapter 338 Inspector Megure's Busy Days

More than ten minutes later, Inspector Megure led his team to the foot of Tokyo Tower.

At this time, the area around Tokyo Tower was already surrounded by dozens of police cars.

The First Investigation Division naturally doesn't have that many people.

Apart from the First Investigation Division, the other police cars at the scene were occupied by officers from other departments.

If only one or two people call to say, 'There's an armed helicopter near Tokyo Tower,'

Whether it's the dispatcher or the inspectors and high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, they would only regard such a call as an overly mischievous "prank".

But within just a few minutes, the Metropolitan Police Department received dozens, if not hundreds, of such emergency calls.

Are so many people making false police reports?

Within minutes, I received so many emergency calls, all about the same thing.

In this situation, whether it's true or false is no longer important.

The police had to get to the scene to assess the situation.

Before they even arrived at the scene, Inspector Megure and his team spotted an armed helicopter circling above Tokyo Tower.

Seeing this, all the police inspectors present, including Inspector Megure, took out their cell phones and called their respective direct superiors.

Putting aside everything else, ordinary people would never have the opportunity to come into contact with, or even fly, armed helicopters.

Faced with such a scene... let alone a "police inspector", even if a higher-ranking "police superintendent" or "police commissioner" were present, they would have to contact their "superiors" immediately.
