Chapter 742 Willful and Justified
Not far away, Sato Miwako and the others who were pointing out the Crime Scene noticed the three people standing in a row, looking at their Mobile Phone, and felt puzzled.
Have these three become so close in the blink of an eye?
Looking at the distance between their shoulders...
Conan curiously glanced over, then curiously glanced over again.
What was on that Phone Screen that was so engrossing for Chi Feichei, Ninzaburo Shiratori, and Wataru Takagi?
In Front of the Car, Ninzaburo Shiratori slowed down and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chi, later, when Officer Takagi attracts the Thug's Attention, you should quickly leave the Vicinity of the Car, or you can leave with Officer Takagi."
Chi Feichei's face was calm, "I'm not going."
Ninzaburo Shiratori: "..."
@#&%×……!
At this time, he's still being so willful and taking it for granted?
"I might be able to dismantle the Bomb," Chi Feichei put Psychological Pressure on the two of them, "Act quickly, time is running out, the Criminal is likely to lose patience and detonate it In Advance, then none of us three will be able to leave."
In fact, the Possibility of the Criminal losing patience is not high, but Ninzaburo Shiratori is too long-winded...
"Officer Shiratori..." Officer Takagi hesitated to speak.
Could there really be a Bomb?
Ninzaburo Shiratori gritted his teeth and made a Decision, saying in a low voice, "Takagi, act according to Mr. Chi's Plan, after leaving the Vicinity, tell Inspector Megure that it is very Possible that the Thug from the Case three years ago has appeared."
He didn't make his words too definitive, maybe it's just an imitation Crime like the Case during the Parade last time?
Back then, their Police announced the first half of the Bomb Threat, so it's not surprising to be imitated.
Although today is July 11th, he also felt that the Possibility of it being the Thug from three years ago was very high.
Officer Takagi's Expression also changed instantly, "I... I understand!"
The next second, Officer Takagi suddenly Looked Towards the Street in front of his side, and while running out, shouted loudly, Just Like he suddenly Saw a Fugitive, running towards Sato Miwako and the five Children. "Don't run! Stop!"
Sato Miwako was Be Stunned for a moment, and immediately got up Vigilance, observing left and right.
In Front of the Car, Ninzaburo Shiratori counted silently for three seconds in his Heart, and quickly and lightly pulled open the Car Door of the Back Seat.
Chi Feichei bent down and got into the Car at the fastest Speed, without making a Sound.
Ninzaburo Shiratori closed the Car Door as quickly and lightly as Possible, his Back already covered in Cold sweat.
Just Like Chi Feichei Said, if the Thug was paying Attention to them here, seeing a Police Officer suddenly act crazy and run towards the Street Corner, he would definitely be startled and then pay Attention, then he wouldn't be able to Stare at them here, this period of Time is very Suitable for one person to cover another person to go to the Car Backseat to See the Situation.
But if the Thug had an Accomplice, and they discovered their Subtle Move, if he had a Problem opening or closing the Door or Chi Feichei getting into the Car, and was discovered by the Thug or the Bomb was shaken, if the Thug was startled and accidentally pressed the Detonator... these were all Possible Situations.
Their ending would only be one — being blown away!
On the Sidewalk, Sato Miwako and the five Children looked at Officer Takagi running towards them in confusion.
"Officer Takagi?!"
"I Seemingly Saw the Suspect in the Burglary Murder Case just now," Officer Takagi kept in mind what Chi Feichei had Said, without slowing down his Footstep of running, and shouted anxiously from afar, "He ran into that Alley behind you, Officer Sato, I need your Help!"
Sato Miwako didn't even remember which Arson Case it was, only captured the Words 'Suspect in the Burglary Murder Case', 'Alley behind', and 'Help', seeing Officer Takagi running past her in a hurry, she also turned around and ran into the Alley.
"We'll Help too!" Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko followed with determined Expressions.
"Hey! We..." Before Conan could finish speaking, he was dragged into the Alley.
Police are catching Suspects in Burglary Murder Cases, they shouldn't run over to cause Trouble, right?
Haibara Ai Looked Back and found that Chi Feichei was gone, only Ninzaburo Shiratori was standing beside the Car looking at them in Surprise, she could only follow the main force running towards the Alley first.
On the Street, the Thug installed the Bomb and got into a Car parked on the Roadside, took out Binoculars, observed Ninzaburo Shiratori's Car, and suddenly discovered that Officer Takagi in Front of the Car ran away, was startled, and quickly focused his Attention on Staring.
What's going on?
Why did that Police Officer run away?
Was the Bomb he installed discovered?
No, Impossible, after that group of Police Officers discovered the Bomb, they should Call to Notify the Metropolitan Police Department and evacuate the public, not this kind of Reaction.
It Seems that he suddenly discovered someone and chased after them...
The Thug watched Sato Miwako and the five Children follow into the Alley, then turned the Direction of the Binoculars, Saw Ninzaburo Shiratori still standing in Front of the Car, breathed a Sigh of relief, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It Seems that the Police Officer did discover something Abnormality and chased after other people.
Fortunately, one is still left, Otherwise, I don't know how long I'd have to wait for this Bomb to detonate.
But...
It Seems like there's one person missing?
That Young Man who didn't chat with the other two Police Officers, stood by the Wall Side alone, and Seemed a Little withdrawn, is he a new Police Officer in the Metropolitan Police Department?
No matter, he now Hope that the coral-headed Police Officer in Front of the Car won't discover the Paper Strip so early, it's best to wait for his Companion to come back, so that his Companion can watch him be blown to death with his own Eyes!
...
Beside the Car, Ninzaburo Shiratori stood facing the Alley, the Surprised Expression on his Face was a Little stiff, and squeezed out a lowered voice from between his Teeth, "Mr. Chi, can you hear me? Is it okay now?"
"It's okay, but please face away from the Car and don't Turn Around," Chi Feichei was lying in Front of the Back Seat, looking at the Bomb that had already been opened at the top, while flipping Things out of his Outerwear Pocket, Said, "I have Saw the Bomb, there is no Bug inside, if the Criminal wants to Understand the Situation here, he can only use Equipment or hide in Some Place and observe with his Eyes, don't Look Around too Obviously, lower your Head when talking to me, try not to let people discover that your mouth is moving."
"I understand!" Ninzaburo Shiratori turned around to face away from the Car, trying to maintain a natural Expression and calm demeanor, and Said firmly, "Mr. Chi, Don't Worry, I will stand Outside the Car all the time, until the End!"
"Don't be nervous." Chi Feichei sorted out the Things he took out, he didn't bring professional Bomb Defusal Tool, but he also brought a lot of Things that could be used.
Small scissors, multi-functional military Knife, small screwdriver that can change to a flat-head or Phillips head, fixing ring, open fixing Lock, Battery, Iron Wire, Plastic Sheet, Adhesive, a small bottle of Chemical Liquid...
When needed, he can make simple Tools himself.
"Don't Worry," Ninzaburo Shiratori adjusted his Mentality, trying to use a calm Tone, and smiled, "As a Police Officer, from the first Day I joined the force, I have already prepared myself to encounter various difficulties and dangerous Situations, and I also firmly believe that I can overcome difficulties, Mr. Chi, this time is the Same..."
He is a Police Officer, he can't panic, he wants to be Chi Feichei's mental support, he...
"It's good that you're not nervous," Chi Feichei Said, "This Bomb is a Mercury Bomb, no Electromagnetic Jammer is needed, and it's not detonated by Chemical Liquid, it won't be very Troublesome."
"Uh, Mr. Chi..." Ninzaburo Shiratori was inconvenient to Turn Around to See inside the Car, so he could only face away from the Car, sweating, and reminded, "It's best not to touch the Bomb randomly now, in about ten more minutes, people from the Bomb Disposal Squad will find a way to Come Over."
"Understood."
Chi Feichei responded.
He is not touching the Bomb randomly, he is dismantling the Bomb according to Plan.
There is a Difference between the two.
This Bomb is similar to what he expected, with a Mercury Tilt Rod, which is a Glass tube filled with mercury, with a gap of about 5cm above, and connected to protruding copper wires. Once there is a violent shake, letting the mercury touch the upper copper wires, it will cause an Explosion.
There is also a Mercury Switch, also called a Tilt Switch, which uses a small Container connected to the electrodes to hold a drop of mercury, and there is also a String connected to the Silk Thread behind the Paper Adhesive Tape. It Seems that As Long As that String is pulled to a certain Degree, the Container will tilt, and due to gravity, that drop of mercury will flow to the lower Point, and at the Same Time contact the two electrodes, closing the Circuit and turning on the Detonator Switch.
In addition, there is the series Circuit of the Detonator...
...
In the Alley, Sato Miwako caught up with Officer Takagi and asked breathlessly, "Takagi, which Case's Suspect did you See?"
She realized it was a Little Weird as she ran, have they been handling Burglary Murder Cases recently? No, right? Then which Case is it?
Officer Takagi stopped, Looked Back, and found that only five Kids were jogging to follow, and there were no other Suspicious Person, took out his Mobile Phone, Staring at the Phone Screen and pressed the Number, with a serious Expression, "Officer Sato, I must contact Inspector Megure first to Notify him of the Present Situation! After I finish speaking, if you still have any Questions, I will explain it to you again."
Sato Miwako was Be Stunned for a moment, then Nodded.
"What's Wrong..." Mitsuhiko looked at his Little Friend in Doubt, his voice was not too loud, so as not to disturb Officer Takagi.
Officer Takagi listened to the Phone Call, and after the other side answered, before Inspector Megure finished saying 'hello', he Interrupt, "Inspector Megure, this is Takagi, I have an urgent Situation to report! The Thug from the Bombing Case three years ago who sent a Fax to the Metropolitan Police Department may have appeared again, and it is very Possible that he has already placed a Bomb."
Sato Miwako and Conan's Expressions changed, and they all Stared at Officer Takagi.
"What?" On the other end of the Phone Call, Inspector Megure quickly asked, "Officer Takagi, what exactly is going on?"
"Officer Shiratori, Officer Sato, and I brought the Children to the Crime Scene of the Explosion during the Parade last time to point out the Scene. Mr. Chi discovered that the Cushion of the Back Seat of Officer Shiratori's Car had been moved, and there were Thin Thread connected to the Front Seat. He felt that something was Wrong. After Stepping Forward, he discovered that there Seemingly was a Paper Strip pasted above the Front Windshield of Officer Shiratori's Car..."
"Mr. Chi Said that if it was the Thug from three years ago, he Probably wanted to let the Police discover that Paper Strip, and after announcing the start of his Action, detonate the Bomb, and the Paper Strip is Probably the Trap connecting to the Bomb, so we didn't move that Paper Strip, nor did we deliberately Look..."
Officer Takagi briefly explained Chi Feichei's Operation of standing between them and using the Mobile Phone Screen to reflect the Scene to identify the Characters on the Paper Strip. Since the Police had announced the first Portion of the Bomb Threat Cipher, it was not surprising that Chi Feichei would Judgment that it was the Bomber from three years ago, "Also, if that Thug is coming for the Police, if he discovers that there are evacuated crowds and a large number of Police Officers approaching, he is very likely to detonate the Bomb directly..."
Conan listened quietly, feeling in his Heart that Chi Feichei's Reaction was really Fast, it Sounded like Chi Feichei had considered all Situations as soon as he discovered the Abnormality.
No wonder Chi Feichei ran between Ninzaburo Shiratori and Officer Takagi before, and the three people Seemed to be very good Friends sharing the content on the Mobile Phone, it turned out that they were using the Mobile Phone Screen to See the Paper Strip in the Car...
"In addition, if we are discovered to have Signs of suddenly running away, the Thug may also detonate the Bomb directly, and it is still not certain whether there is a Bug on the Bomb that can pay Attention to our Movement at any time, so we cannot Call near the Bomb to explain the Situation," Officer Takagi Said quickly, "So, Mr. Chi asked me to pretend to See Suspects from other Cases and chase them into the Alley, first leading Officer Sato and the Children away from that area, and after arriving in the Alley, Call you to explain the Situation, and let the Bomb Disposal Squad Come Over quickly!"
Conan: "..."
That Fellow even considered that there might be a Bug in the Bomb.
