Chapter 38

The accident happened at this time, and the elevator was going up smoothly all the way. However, after reaching the top floor, there was a loud noise from the top of the elevator, and the elevator door that was about to open also stopped.

Hagihara and Matsuda looked at each other, and they were all too familiar with the voice: “It’s a bomb.”

“bomb?”

Maori Kogoro was afraid of heights, and coupled with this accident, he dared not move in the corner.

“Although it is illegal and dangerous to do this, it is urgent to follow the right. If a bomb is installed on the elevator, maybe there will be other places. We have to get out of the elevator as soon as possible.” Matsuda Jinping said.

The two of them had a very high tacit understanding, looked at each other, and opened the elevator door together.

Because of the small explosion just now, the elevator was stuck on the top floor and couldn’t move at all. However, the fire escape, which should have been open all the year round, was completely blocked for some reason, and it was in a situation where it could not be opened.

Matsuda Jinping tried to push the door of the fire escape, then shook his head and said, “No, it should be locked from there.”

Hagihara Kenji frowned: “The prisoner came fully prepared.”

At this moment, Yuanzi has contacted the management office of the building, and after exiting the highest viewing platform, everything else is normal, and no one notices the abnormality at all.

“There is no abnormality below. Do you want to evacuate the crowd? If the command is improper, a stampede accident may occur.” Sonoko asked while holding the phone.

According to the management office, the pictures from the monitoring room are also normal. Everything seemed normal except for the exploding elevator and the inexplicably locked fire escape.

“Everything else is normal?” Hagihara Kenji frowned, “Isn’t anyone below finding out that this elevator can’t go down?”

“Because the observation deck is not yet open to the public, this elevator can only be accessed by swiping a card.” Yuanzi explained.

Hagihara Kenji nodded. He seemed to have seen Zhufu here before, and he had been thinking about it when he entered the elevator, but he ignored Suzuki’s actions.

“The other party should not be targeting us. We were just accidentally involved.” Hagihara Kenji frowned, “Miss Suzuki, besides you, who else can come here now?”

“Then only my father’s friends, the builder of this building, were actually supposed to come over today to see the effect of the observation deck, but they couldn’t come because of a delay.”

“The prisoner’s target should be them.” Hagihara Kenji said, “Anyway, judging from the prisoner’s destruction of the elevator and the closure of the fire escape, it seems that he has no intention of harming innocents. But to be on the safe side, I’d better deal with the following as soon as possible. It is better to evacuate the crowd. After all, no one can be sure whether the explosion will happen again.”

Yuanzi nodded: “I will contact the management office immediately.”

At this moment, there was another explosion sound from the corner of the observation deck. Like the elevator, the damage is not high and the range is not large.

At the same time, a dull electronic voice came from under the middle bar: “You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Several people did not answer, and let the electronic voice continue to say: “Don’t worry, I only target you and this building, I will leave enough time for the people below to escape, as for you… just stay here and slowly Struggling, it’s a pity I can’t see the ugly appearance of you struggling and struggling.”

“Reminder, a small bomb explodes here every ten minutes. As for the location – sorry, it’s random. Also, gasoline barrels will randomly drop next to some bombs, and I don’t know when it will ignite. Come down and enjoy the last hours of your life.”

The electronic sound stopped completely, Orikasa stepped forward to look at it, and shook his head at the crowd: “It’s a recording.”

He had just taken the opportunity to message Liqueur, asking her to pick up Belmod. Anyway, there are Conan and Xiaolan here now, there is a high probability that nothing will happen, and it is best to take this opportunity to avoid Belmod.

Conan frowned, is it an illusion? When the bomb exploded just now, there seemed to be some noise in the earphones, but it was covered up by the sound of the explosion.

But the bug was installed on Midorikawa-sensei. Could it be that something happened to Midorikawa-sensei?

By the way, Midorikawa-sensei!

If there is no way to open the fire escape, there may be a way from the outside. If it is only locked, find some heavy object to break the lock.

Conan thought so, and told Matsuda and Hagihara about his thoughts.

Sure enough, I was not mistaken before, Zhu Fu also came here, but his outfit at that time was obviously not an everyday dress, and how could this kid bump into him so coincidentally…

Matsuda Jinping didn’t have time to think about it, the phone rang, and after a while he said helplessly: “No way, there is also a bomb in Midorikawa.”

“No, didn’t that voice just now say that it won’t affect the people below?” Xiaolan exclaimed.

Matsuda turned off his phone: “Who knows, maybe he lied to us.”

“All in all, this building is now in a dangerous state. Suzuki, you asked the management office to evacuate the crowd below in time. Hagihara and I tried to defuse the bomb. This kind of small bomb/bomb should not be difficult to defuse.”

Matsuda didn’t fully tell the truth, there was indeed a bomb/bomb where Zhu Fu Jingguang was, but he was not below at the moment, but just outside the door of the fire escape on this floor. In other words, the bomb/bomb is installed on the door of the fire exit.

Matsuda Jinping didn’t know how and why Zhu Fu Jingguang appeared here, he just subconsciously covered Zhu Fu Jingguang.

Zhufu Jingguang naturally appeared here because of the mission. The terrain here is high and it is an excellent sniper spot.

However, just when he finished the task and wanted to come down, he accidentally discovered the bomb on the fire exit door.

The mission was over, and when he encountered such a thing, he naturally called his friends in the explosion group for the first time. Then I learned that the other party was also trapped in this building…

Matsuda meant that there was no bomb below, let him evacuate first, but Zhu Fu Jingguang was not the one who put his friend’s life at risk. Go down.

Orikasa Yuyoshi glanced at the time: “The next explosion, there are still six minutes.”

Not all bombs can be dismantled. At least they have to find all the gasoline drums before the next explosion. Now the entire viewing platform is locked. Once a fire breaks out, they will have no way to escape.

Xiaolan, Sonoko, Mouri Kogoro, and Conan were in charge of finding the gasoline cans, while Matsuda, Hagihara, and Orikasa defused the bombs as quickly as possible. Matsuda originally wanted to stop Orikasa, but after thinking about it, he didn’t say anything. At this juncture, One more person is a huge help.

Fortunately, the bombs installed by this prisoner are very simple, and they can be defused by the small tools they carry with them. Fortunately, Matsuda and Hagi have the habit of carrying tools with them. Otherwise, even the two police officers from the blasting group would be helpless without the tools here.

Hagihara Kenji frowned and thought while dismantling the bombs. These small improvised bombs are not very powerful. Compared to killing them, the role of these bombs seems to only increase their psychological pressure and be responsible for igniting gasoline barrels. But this is not in line with the behavior of ordinary bombers.

Is there any special reason behind it?

“Did it happen that someone didn’t want to move and delayed the construction period?” Yuyoshi Orikasa asked, some information before the accident often became a key reminder, which is a fixed routine in comics.

Before the accident, the only possible reminder was the inexplicable construction delay mentioned by Matsuda.

Only then did Hagihara realize that he had accidentally spoken out what he was thinking.

Suzuki Sonoko recalled somewhat uncertainly: “I seem to have heard my father talk about this, but the location of the family’s house is not very hindering the construction, but my uncle thinks it is suitable to make a landscape there, so I go with the family. Communication, communication for a long time without results.”

“Originally, my uncle had already given up, but one day a fire broke out in the family, and the old couple and their only daughter who lived inside were unable to escape, and unfortunately passed away.”

“However, because such a sad thing happened, my uncle didn’t intend to move the place anymore, and it’s still vacant now.”

Did you die from a fire? It fits the prisoner’s intention to burn them to death, Hagihara Kenji pondered.

“Miss Suzuki, do you remember anything else about that family?” Kenji Hagihara asked.

Suzuki Sonoko shook his head: “Because I only heard about it from my father, I don’t remember it very clearly. I just heard that the old couple lived with their only daughter. Because the first-in-line heir also passed away, the final inheritance was Inherited by their distant nephew.”

“The heir seems to have come to his uncle to sell the land to his uncle. The uncle had no plans to build a landscape there. But remembering what happened to that house, he finally bought it. I hope that nephew can take the money to give it to him. They have a better funeral.”

Hagihara Kenji frowned, is that Mr. nephew? But according to Miss Suzuki’s description, the distant nephew doesn’t seem to have a deep relationship with the old couple who died unexpectedly and their daughter, so he shouldn’t come to seek revenge from the builder for them.

Matsuda carefully put the demolition bomb aside, but the phone rang at this moment, and Zhu Fu Jingguang’s voice was a little hurried: “I remember, when I came here before, there was no bomb installed on the door, and the bomb was installed. It should be in the near future, and the prisoner may still be in this building.”

Matsuda was silent for a moment: “I see.”

Conan asked curiously, “What is it?”

“Lu Chuan said that he seemed to have seen a suspicious person, like a prisoner, but he lost it.” Matsuda Jinping put it another way, he was not sure if he could reveal the fact that Zhu Fu Jingguang had been here before them. , since you are not sure, it is better to hide it.

Prisoner? Does he need to be there?
