Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 1779 Negotiation

Provocation, this is a naked provocation!

Not only were the reporters in an uproar, but the Tottori police officers also looked a bit unhappy.

Officer Araki's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he cursed secretly in his heart.

His original plan was to fight steadily. No matter what traps the opponent had, as long as they delayed it long enough and waited for the real elite to be ready, once the opportunity came, they would be able to strike with a fatal blow!

However, this strategy is not so easy to implement now.

If the media is present, everything the police say and do will be recorded.

In the face of threats and provocations from criminals, if the police cannot respond promptly and effectively, the media may not be merciful afterwards, and the prestige of the police will be greatly reduced.

What's more, the hostage being kidnapped now is still a high-ranking member of their police force.

All their actions not only affect the ordinary people's views of their police, but also have an impact on their own police.

Let me ask, if the police cannot guarantee the life safety of even their own senior officers, let alone those ordinary grassroots police officers?

When the time comes, everyone will be timid in the face of danger, so how can the work be carried out? How else to lead the team?

No matter what, they must react immediately when faced with the provocation of criminals.

Officer Araki's mind was spinning rapidly. After a few seconds, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "You must think clearly! Kidnapping, holding high-level police officials hostage, and possessing high-risk contraband are already serious crimes!"

"You honestly let the person go and captured him without any help, and you can still seek leniency!"

"But once you attack the hostages, you won't have any chance! We have been authorized to kill you on the spot if necessary!"

After Officer Araki finished speaking, there was silence in the mansion for a while, and then there was a burst of crazy laughter:

"Hahahaha! Officer, I can understand that you are threatening us?"

"I'm just stating the facts!" Officer Araki replied in a deep voice.

"Ha! Look at the bombs tied to my companions. Do you think we are afraid of death?" the voice in the mansion replied with a sneer.

Officer Araki suddenly choked.

"It seems that the police officer has not seen the current situation clearly!" A voice came again from the mansion.

As soon as he finished speaking, at the gap, one of the men in black with a bomb strapped on suddenly took out a dagger with a cold light and stabbed it into Feng Jian's stomach without hesitation!

Feng Jian's body suddenly shook, his eyes that had been closed suddenly widened, his expression became visibly painful, and the clothes on his stomach were instantly stained red with blood!

"Asshole! Stop!" Officer Araki was shocked and shouted quickly.

"Ha! If words worked, there would be no weapons in this world!" The voice in the mansion said mockingly.

Then, the voice said in an almost bewitching tone: "Look, our people are within the range of your pistols. You can try to kill them directly and rescue your people, right?"

Officer Araki gritted his teeth when he heard this. He was really treating himself like a fool! When he didn't hear what the other party just said, were those two people equipped with remote-controlled bombs?

The remote control of the bomb was 100% not on those two people. Killing those two people would not affect the guy hiding in the dark from detonating the bomb at all!

Officer Araki took a few deep breaths before calming down a little. He picked up the loudspeaker again and shouted, "How can you let him go?"

The voice in the mansion laughed jokingly: "Oh? Have you finally recognized the reality and started negotiating terms?"

When Officer Araki heard this, his anger rose again.

He suppressed his anger and replied, "Whatever your requirements are, we can discuss them."

"Since you said so, officer, we won't be polite~" the voice in the mansion laughed.

"Damn it! After we catch them, we must ask them who the voice is! I must entertain him well!" Officer Araki cursed in his heart.

"If you have any requests, please tell me!" He almost said this through gritted teeth.

"First, let us all leave safely and not be followed!" The voice in the mansion made the first request.

Officer Araki breathed a sigh of relief. The first request was completely expected, and it was also one of the regular requests made by criminals in hostage-taking incidents.

There is nothing wrong with agreeing to such a request. After all, there are many successful precedents before. It can be completely interpreted as a delaying tactic to rescue the hostages and ultimately capture the criminals.

Thinking of this, Officer Araki immediately said: "Okay! As long as you let them go, we promise not to stop you from leaving!"

"Refreshing! In this case, let all the police surrounding the mansion, including the helicopters in the air, leave first!" A voice in the mansion said calmly.

"Impossible!" Officer Araki immediately refused: "How can you guarantee that after we release the siege, you will not leave with the hostages?"

"Ha! In this case, let's take a step back." The voice in the mansion was unexpectedly easy to talk to: "We can hand over this policeman named Feng Jian to you first. After you accept the hostage, let go of the encirclement. Get our people out."

"How about after the others leave, my two companions will hand over Kuroda to you?"

"This..." A trace of hesitation flashed across Officer Araki's face, then he raised his speaker and replied, "We need to think about it!"

"I only give you two minutes." The voice in the mansion said coldly.

Officer Araki did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the situation.

"Promise them first." Odagiri quickly made a decision: "The first goal is to rescue the hostages. In the end, it doesn't matter even if we let those guys run away."

"Yes!" With the order from above, Officer Araki felt confident and immediately shouted inside: "Okay! We agree to your request! Release the hostages first!"

"Don't be impatient, officer!" The voice in the mansion smiled again: "Why don't you listen to our second request first?"

"...Say!" Officer Araki replied coldly.

The voice in the mansion continued: "After we leave, you are not allowed to conduct any form of search in this mansion!"

Officer Araki was startled when he heard this. He originally thought that the other party would make some excessive demands, such as asking for a huge ransom, or asking the police to do something embarrassing.

Who knew that the mansion just couldn't be searched?

Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this mansion?

Officer Araki was thinking in his mind, but he agreed immediately on his face.

As long as all the people can be rescued, his mission will be completed. As for whether he must abide by the agreement and not search the mansion afterwards, that will naturally be decided later.
