Chapter 762 Conan: They are all weird things!
"The trapped persons are a criminal police officer from the first search section and a first-grade elementary school student. According to the information transmitted by the Metropolitan Police Department, the mercury switch of the bomb has been activated, and the weight of an adult male may cause the bomb to explode at any time. "Triggered."
"Not only that, but more importantly, the prisoner is monitoring the scene at any time through listening equipment. Even if we are sure to suspend a rescuer now, the prisoner probably cannot accept it..."< br>
“What should we do now? Throw a set of instructions and tools down and let nature take its course?”
“No matter what, we must evacuate the residents within a few kilometers of the area as much as possible...”
Miwako Sato sat in the open police car, watching several police officers from the explosive ordnance disposal team arguing with the coordinating criminal police officers. She held the water glass in her hand and remained silent.
"Sato, are you okay?" Shiratori Rensaburo, who had finished communicating with the TV station about coordination issues, saw her distraught look and came over with concern, "As for Takagi, although we can't contact him for the time being, he should be there at the moment. It’s okay.”
I just don’t know how long it will last...
After all, according to what was said before the contact was terminated, there is only more than an hour left for the bomb.
Sato Miwako, who came back to her senses, barely glanced at him and smiled, but her mind was still thinking about the voice she heard not long ago.
She shouldn't have heard that voice wrong...
However, according to what the children firmly said, the people who chased Takagi Wataru and Conan should be the Phantom Thieves of the Heart. This point, capture The TV stations that saw the corresponding footage are also making speculations.
She knew that the thief Joker had the ability to disguise and transform in a way that was similar to Kidd's.
Could it be that they deliberately spoke in Matsuda’s voice in order to disturb the prisoner’s mind?
Thinking of this, Miwako Sato quickly shook her head in denial.
No, the prisoner from three years ago did leave a message on the bomb, but he had no contact with Matsuda himself. At most, he had seen Matsuda Jinpei near the Ferris wheel. The only people who would be thrown into chaos by this voice were the police officers who had worked with Matsuda Jinpei.
If the Phantom Thief really does this, whose mind will be disturbed...
She nodded and shook her head here, thinking too much but unable to tell others her suspicions. In the bird's eyes, there was a tangled look between past pain and current difficulties, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He was still feeling in his heart in the morning, the living cannot compete with the dead. If this knot cannot be buried, unless one of him and Takagi dies in the line of duty, they will not be able to truly enter Miwako Sato's heart. Now this is like a curse. The sigh came true.
It was clear that everything that happened today was Sato Miwako’s nightmare. Shiratori Rensaburo tried his best to comfort: "Don’t worry too much. They are in the elevator. The temporary inability to restore communication may be a signal problem. Explosive Ordnance Disposal The team is arranging for staff in explosion-proof suits to go up to the observation deck and lower tools and communication devices from the elevator door. Just wait, Sato.”
"...Hmm." Not knowing which keyword brought her consciousness back to her senses, Sato Miwako raised her head and silently looked up at the red and white Toto Tower.
She clasped her hands on the glass and prayed secretly.
No matter what the situation is, no matter what happens, if the Phantom Thief of Heart arrives, there must be a way to solve all this, right?
Please, don’t let Takagi Wataru, Conan and the truth be buried by conspiracy again...
————
"A sneeze..." Takagi Wataru sneezed and quickly woke up, regaining his standing position without daring to move.
Although Conan has been crawling on the ceiling for a long time, who knows how sensitive the mercury switch is, he did not dare to cause the slightest shock.
"Don't be so nervous, newcomer." Above his head, the deep male voice sounded, "Don't worry, although the mercury rod is indeed very sensitive, the size used by the designer of this bomb It has always been too big, and it is not so easy to be triggered if you take a few steps."
"Uh...but just now Conan said..." Takagi Wataru breathed out, and then asked a question. The possible identity of the man above his head made him swallow the rest of his words.
If this person is really "Matsuda Jinpei", then the person who personally experienced the explosion scene three years ago will definitely be more convincing than the elementary school student who came into contact with the structure of this bomb for the first time.
"Don't worry, Mr. Police." Another younger voice, probably the thief Joker, took over, "You have to know that three years ago, a bomb of the same type was placed on a skyscraper dozens of meters above the ground. It's on the wheel. Even the shaking of the Ferris wheel won't trigger it. It'll be fine if you take a few steps."
This is what Tangze felt a little speechless about before.
The carriage of the Ferris wheel is not originally fixed on the track, but is suspended from the top structure. If the wind is slightly stronger, it will sway during the rotation.
Using a tilt switch in a place like this, this guy named Yoji Motohashi was really confident three years ago.
Of course, it is also possible that he is completely stupid and has never considered the option that the person who went to defuse the bomb will die in an accident, or that he has already prepared three sets of excuses, and the first one to explode and scold the police Stupid. If the second one explodes, call the police selfish. If both explode, call the police incompetent...
"Hey, if you say that, then I..." Takagi Wataru thought about the ferris wheel swaying in mid-air, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
In that case, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to climb up, right?
Just now, although the other party did not deny his shocking guess, he also had no intention of recognizing it. Takagi Wataru, who could only hear his voice but not see his person, could not see what was happening above him, and he was almost worried.
After connecting the multimeter, Jinpei Matsuda raised his head and looked at the narrow smile on the face of this young new boss. He shook his head helplessly and stretched out his hand: "Stop teasing me. Give me the pliers." I. Dismantle the photosensitive detonation device first."
Kang Ze quickly handed over the bolt cutters, and at the same time looked at Conan who was still wiping the bug mechanically: "You need to cut off the light first, Conan-kun. Come down.”
So before Takagi Wataru, who was a little excited, stretched out his hand to try, the square door above his head was mercilessly locked by Conan.
"Hey..." Standing in the dim elevator with only emergency light sources, Takagi Wataru protested.
"Please be considerate, Mr. Policeman. This prisoner is not obedient and lets people observe the structure." Karasawa, who was sitting on the edge, comforted the eager Takagi Wataru with two words, "And I'm just saying that you It won’t matter if you take a few steps. If you climb up, the ceiling may deform.”
While he was talking, Matsuda Jinpei turned off the flashlight, picked up the bolt cutters, and flexibly bypassed other lines. , accurately cut off the photosensitive switch: "Okay. Brake."
The plastic piece was handed over in time, and he took it to cut off the contacts, and then sorted out the tools in his hand.
As a finished product that Yoji Motohashi spent all his brains on, the design circuit of this bomb is quite complicated.
But even if you don’t count his continuous practice and research over the past few years, this is the third time he has faced this structure. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is familiar with the road.
Kangze, who could see in the dark without relying on night vision goggles, smiled as he observed his precise technique.
Putting aside the somewhat strange appearance, Prometheus is indeed a suitable image for Matsuda Jinpei.
In addition to being full of elements such as revolutionaries, pioneers, and self-sacrifice, Prometheus is also a craftsman in Greek mythology who made humans out of clay, which matches well with the nimble hands of Jinpei Matsuda.
According to Karasawa's understanding, the masks of their group will more or less add to their various abilities. Typical examples are Asai Narumi and his familiar Familiar Boya, and Morofu Jingguang's Ah. Rachne can directly increase the damage and hit points of the firearms he holds.
Looking at Matsuda Jinpei's way of removing wires in the dark, one can guess that the other party has improved professionally.
"Conan-kun..." Seeing the smiling elementary school student reopening the ceiling door, Takagi Wataru felt a little sad, "You seem to trust the Phantom Thieves more than me..."
Ask Conan to deal with the bugs and start immediately. Ask Conan to close the door and lock the door before he finished speaking.
Obviously the two of them were comrades who were trapped together and shared the joys and sorrows. However, from the moment he saw the visitor, Conan's trust shifted from the police to the thief in an instant.
Takagi Wataru, who had only been favored briefly for more than ten minutes, was in a very delicate mood. "This, ahaha..." Conan, who looked down at Takagi Shita, laughed twice, turned his head again to look at the man in black robe who was squatting over there and moved quickly and neatly, and leaned towards him again very honestly.
Well, compared to searching the first lesson, he is indeed more trusting and more curious than Takagi Wataru.
Over there, Matsuda Jinpei and Karasawa, who had entered working mode and dismantled very smoothly, were already chatting.
“Next time I have to jump from such a high place, can you say hello first?” Matsuda Jinpei complained as he put down the second cover, “I suddenly jumped from the top without saying anything. Yes, I was shocked.”
He wasn't referring to jumping off the top of the elevator in Tokyo Tower, he was referring to the time in the palace.
The two of them spent the whole night in Yoji Motohashi's hall, and finally arrived at the foot of the tall Ferris wheel.
"If we follow the steps, we only need to send him a warning letter as a warning...or it's okay not to send it. Benqiao must know that he has become our target. Then find the location of his secret treasure, Just take things out and that's it." Tangze took out the tickets to enter the Ferris wheel and briefly introduced their usual work process.
"The 'secret treasure' is the starting point of desire and the source of distortion. Is that what you meant before?" Although Matsuda Jinpei hesitated, he did not refuse the ticket handed over by Karasawa.
For him, 24 hours ago, he was squatting in the car of another Ferris wheel, waiting for the countdown to death. 24 hours later, he would board another familiar Ferris wheel. Wheel, what he said in his heart was that he would not resist.
But what he should do would not be swayed by whether he liked it or not, so when Karasawa took him to a familiar seat, Matsuda Jinpei didn't complain at all.
“What’s next?” Looking at the familiar LCD panel on the floor of the Ferris wheel, Matsuda Jinpei was still asking questions and was already moving his fingers habitually.
The secret treasure of this palace is undoubtedly hidden in this bomb. He guessed that this is the reason why Joker asked him to dismantle the bomb-disposal hot hand before taking him in.
"Next, let's see what you think next." Sitting on the seat opposite, Tang Ze chose a comfortable position and slumped down, looking like he was ready to show off.
“My thoughts?”
"Yes, what is placed in front of you now represents the twisted mind of Yoji Motohashi. Just like three years ago, there are two choices."
When Karasawa said this, he raised two finger.
“If you dismantle it, then the clown with the same decoration in the back will activate. We may need to go through a difficult battle, and then the wimp who is crying outside will soon call the police and surrender. Frankly speaking, the second He found the location of the bomb, found some excuses for himself, and was taken away safely by the police. "
Matsuda Jinpei's eyes moved from his fingers to Karasawa's face.
With almost no time to think, he asked again: "What about the second option?"
Tang Ze, who had expected it, curled up a finger and gave the answer: "The second option is to do nothing and wait for the bomb to explode. The two of us will return to reality and defeat his plan this time. As for It’s up to you whether you want to shoot him or hand him over to the police.”
Matsuda Jinpei lowered his head and stared at the countdown that was going on on the floor, and then looked at Karasawa. .
“That person has actually been controlled by other people in the group.”
“Of course.”
“Radio wave communications, etc., have also been monitored by you. Got it.”
"Hmm, we have technology that spans the ages."
"So no matter what I choose, the bomb will not really harm everyone."
"Definitely."
< br>From the relaxed state of his posture, Matsuda Jinpei understood the meaning of Karasawa's words.
This is a carefully arranged arena to draw both sides into a fair fight.
So of course, he made the same choice as three years ago.
"It's not that I like jumping off buildings suddenly, there's nothing I can do about it." Tangze sighed, "In that guy's mind, this is the same place."
Three years The first bomb before leads to the first bomb three years later. This is the conceptual geographical location of Motohashi Yoji's mind and is not controlled by Karasawa.
"...Then you are still so carefree." After removing the multimeter, Matsuda Jinpei's mouth twitched twice, and suddenly he felt how much he had chosen to trust Karasawa a few hours ago and wait for the bomb to explode. A little big.
This is the Dongdu Iron Tower, which is more than 200 meters high. Even the elevator shaft inside is high enough to fall someone to death.
"Because I'm really not afraid. It's not like I haven't jumped over higher places. If you don't believe me, ask the little brother next to you." Tangze put his elbows on his knees, cupped his chin and waved his hands.
Not long ago, he performed an 80-story downhill heroic landing for his friends in Tokyo.
Hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly turned his head, only to find that the little boy who was supposed to be watching from behind had already reached his hand without knowing when.
...Is this child a cat? He walks without any movement?
Conan, who was blinded by Karasawa's aura as soon as they met, blinked unconsciously, raised his head in front of the bomb cover, and looked at Matsuda Jinpei's face expectantly.
This man was wearing a large, flying, handsome and imposing cloak that half covered his face.
Although he saw the opponent's face right away, he didn't see everything after all. He ran so close to not only observe the opponent's bomb disposal techniques, but also meant to take a serious look at the opponent's face.
——The main thing is to see if joker can really do such a big job.
As a result, when Matsuda Jinpei raised his head, Conan discovered that a pair of black sunglasses had appeared on the other person’s face at some point. In this low-light environment, they blended in with his black hair and black clothes. In one piece, only half of the fair face can be seen.
Conan: "..."
Wearing sunglasses in a place like this? Are you serious?
Suddenly, the mysterious smell of strange operations that belongs exclusively to the Phantom Thieves of Heart overflowed.
"Let me introduce you." Tangze looked at the stiff expression on Conan's face, lowered the corners of his mouth, and said as seriously as possible, "This is one of our members, his code name is... ..."
"Trigger." The pliers in his hand happened to be pressed on the last wire. Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows and cut off the final switch, leaving only the LCD panel and the mercury switch. and mobile phone wiring for detonation.
Conan, who has some guesses about his identity and is very good at English, fully understands the meaning of this word: "..."
This Phantom Thieves, this Phantom Thieves...!
