Chapter 283: Another Twist
Chapter 283: Another Twist
Dong Ye Ning never expected that the water of Ruyue Peak would appear.
What on earth do you have to do with the press conference held by our police and the Tokiwa Foundation?
Well, actually this is Mio Tokiwa's own fault.
She may want to save money, or she may want to take this opportunity to release good news to boost the stock price.
Anyway, she had "sent out invitations to heroes" and called all the people she could in one night. Today, she not only had to hold a press conference, but also the building inauguration ceremony that had not been held before.
Therefore, the famous Mount Fuji enthusiast and new blasting genius, Kisaragi Minemizu, attended today.
Thinking of this, Dong Ye Ning felt a little headache. If he had asked Sato Miwako to find Tokiwa Mio later yesterday, the other party would not have enough time to call so many people.
"Hey, keep an eye on the old man later. He shouldn't have time to prepare a murder plan."
Dong Ye Ning muttered to himself and took two deep breaths, but found that his panic had not disappeared, but had become even worse.
"...What's going on?"
Dong Ye Ning took a few more deep breaths and found that his panic showed no signs of easing.
He didn't have a heart disease and he wasn't hungry, so this shouldn't have happened.
"Wait, could it be that Colin Steffen is coming today?"
Dong Ye Ning suddenly thought of such a possibility. Maybe in addition to Colin Steffen, the two members of the organization would also come!
hiss~~~
If that's true, then it's all over, right?
The police manpower mobilization has not yet been fully launched!
Thinking of this, Dong Ye Ning took out his cell phone and turned to walk aside.
"Where are you going, Inspector Higashino?"
“I’m about to go on stage.”
Tono Ning ignored the exclamations of Tokiwa Mio and others, and continued to do what he should do.
When he arrived at a place with fewer people, he called Matsumoto Kiyonaga directly and explained that Colin Steffen might take some action today, hoping to speed up the staffing arrangements.
But new problems hit him head-on.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before he spoke:
"Inspector Higashino, yesterday Officer Takagi reported to us at your instruction... um... after a unanimous discussion at the top, they decided not to make such a big move."
"Because there is no reason for Colin Steffen to escape quickly from the sea to Nishitama City, according to normal logic, we should also look for Colin Steffen in those places along the coast."
"So... most of Tokyo's surplus manpower will be transferred to the coastal areas."
I damn well knew it would be like this!
Dong Ye Ning was not surprised at all to hear the news.
He patiently asked, "Then, Inspector Matsumoto, can you make the decision to have someone from the Metropolitan Police Department come over?"
"The case here is handled by the Investigation Division. Is that okay?"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga was silent again, then he spoke, "Okay, but... we can only arrange for extra personnel who don't have any cases to handle to come here, Inspector Higashino, I'm sorry."
"Also, I think you don't need to be so nervous, because there is really no reason for Colin Steffen to appear in Nishitama City."
"After he was kidnapped, we immediately set up a checkpoint, but we didn't find any trace of him. You must be worrying too much."
Then I think there is no reason why Colin Steffen could be kidnapped!
What's the point of those checkpoints you set up? Gin drives around Tokyo every day with guns and bombs, and you never stop him.
But Higashino Ning could also understand Matsumoto Kiyonaga. After all, he was only one level higher than him, and they were also workers, so they had no decision-making power.
Just now he asked for assistance from the search section and the other party agreed. He has done his best and there is nothing to criticize.
Dong Ye Ning licked his slightly dry lips and said, "Well, that's it. I will handle the things here myself, but I still need manpower from the Investigation Section. Please allow me, Officer."
Superintendent is the police rank of Matsumoto Kiyonaga, but his main job is the management officer of the First Investigation Division.
Seeing that Tono Ning called him like that, Matsumoto Kiyonaga also understood what Tono Ning meant, "Okay, I'll let Inspector Megure lead the team over."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Ye Ning's resentment had subsided a lot, but the feeling of panic still did not disappear.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before, so Dong Ye Ning was basically certain that something big was going to happen.
Difficult.
He pressed the microphone and said, "Takagi, Officer Sato, disperse your personnel below the building. From now on, no one is allowed to enter the building."
"Then all the other workers, passers-by and so on who were watching were dispersed."
"Colin Steffen may come over later and handle it more carefully."
Nishitama City is not without police officers. Twenty or thirty people are enough to guard the building.
After thinking about it, Dong Ye Ning took the initiative to contact the fire department and asked for assistance, asking them to be prepared to deal with emergencies.
After making all the calls, Dong Ye Ning clenched and unclenched his fists.
Originally, he was just going to post the message today and wait for Colin Steffen to come find him.
As a result, I felt that the other party was about to arrive before the press conference even started.
Is the organization's efficiency so high now?
Doesn't this guy Gin always have to check this and that for a while before taking action?
Oh, it’s not Gin who comes this time, so it’s okay.
"Sure enough, they still took the old path of empiricism. Those two people have already brought all the plot events forward. How can I use Gin's behavior pattern to model them..."
Dong Ye Ning was a little annoyed.
It is true that every failure makes you wiser.
But now that things have come to this, he can only do his best to defend.
Dong Ye Ning straightened his suit and went on stage just before the start of the press conference.
There were not many flash cameras in the audience. Apart from the basic reception record, the reporters were all waiting earnestly for Dong Ye Ning to speak.
As soon as he came on stage, the reporters became agitated.
"You are truly worthy of being the legendary Inspector Higashino. There has been new progress in just one day!"
"Otherwise, why would Inspector Higashino be specially recruited to lead the case?"
"If there are any strange and difficult cases in the future, I will choose Inspector Higashino to handle them. He is the one that everyone expects!"
"Sa, come on! Let me see what surprising discovery Inspector Higashino has made this time!"
"..."
The enthusiasm of the reporters in the audience made Mio Tokiwa actually feel the popularity of Higashino Ning among the reporters.
And those celebrities who were invited by her also spoke up in agreement, looking at Dong Ye Ning with admiration in their eyes.
"What a rising star..."
Tokiwa Mio looked at Tono Ning's profile in a daze.
"You will definitely make the future better, right, Inspector Higashino?"
