Chapter 270 Tokyo Tower
That night, some bad news came from the Metropolitan Police Department - after detailed inspection, they did not find a bomb in any internal structure of Tokyo Tower, including the elevators. Although they are still tracing whether the bomb was placed in Tokyo
in the structure outside the tower viewing area, but currently it seems that the possibility of the attacker targeting Tokyo Tower has been reduced to almost zero.
However, all members of the detective team chose to take leave at Qianyu's request - after all, they still could not rule out the possibility that the school that the big bomb was going to hit at 3pm was Didan Elementary School.
So, since there is no bomb in Tokyo Tower, but there may be bombs elsewhere, where is the safest place to spend the time of the explosion?
...9:20 a.m. the next day
Take the Toei Subway Toei Line 12 (Author: After 1999, this line was renamed the Tokyo Loop Line through a popular vote, but then Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara renamed it the Oedo Line) to Akabane
After walking for five minutes from Bridge Station, the red and white Tokyo Tower appeared in front of Chiba and Haibara Ai.
"Have you been here before?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.
"I've never been here before," Qian Yu shook his head. "That's why I brought you here to watch it together."
"Is that a dog statue?" Haihara Ai suddenly looked at a group of stone statues next to the iron tower and asked curiously.
"The statues of the Birch Dogs." Qian Yu explained. "When the Japanese Antarctic Exploration Team was forced to retreat due to weather conditions in 1958, they abandoned 15 Birch Dogs. But when they came back the next year, they found
There were actually two Birch dogs named "Taro" and "Jiro" who survived. So at that time, the SPCA hired the sculptor of the loyal dog Hachiko to make this statue for these fifteen Birch dogs, and finally
Placed here."
"So that's it." Hui Yuan Ai said thoughtfully.
In order to support the 332.6-meter-high tower body, the four tower legs of Tokyo Tower are opened very widely, so there is a four-story Tokyo Tower in the center of the four tower legs.
"One thousand yen..." Holding the two tickets, Qianyu curled his lips and threw them into his schoolbag. "Forget it, the price is barely acceptable... Haibara, which one do you plan to see first?"
"Well..." Haiyuan Ai glanced at the street sign thoughtfully. "Let's go first...how about this?"
She pointed to the aquarium sign.
"Tsk," Qianyu raised his eyebrows. "Okay, but there is also an aquarium here..."
"And since it can call itself an aquarium, the content must not be too shabby." Haibara Ai is also looking forward to it.
but...
"Really?" When the two of them strolled into the aquarium to the soothing music in the aquarium, Qianyu was startled by the display cabinets on the right - not because these display cabinets looked like those in ordinary aquatic products stores.
The thing about fish cabinets is because of the contents inside the display tank.
"Amphibians?" Haiyuan Ai also frowned, looking at the turtle crawling slowly on the gravel island. "Isn't this an aquarium?"
"Perhaps they include amphibians as aquatic animals?" Qianyu's mouth twitched. "Let's look forward. There seem to be normal fish ahead."
The two of them walked forward together and slowly came to the area marked with tropical fish in the sea, but...
"Um..." Qianyu looked at the sign and was speechless for a long time. "coral reef fish? So is this a tropical fish or a coral reef fish?" (Tropical fish like acidic seawater, and coral reef fish are used to it because they live in coral reef areas.
Weakly alkaline seawater...)
"What kind of translation is this..." Haiyuan Ai also sighed. "It's so lame!"
Although there wasn't much of a problem with things like the sign at the back, it was still complained about by Haibara Ai and Qianha who were quite disappointed because of their high expectations.
"That is to say, the last Japanese-style garden is relatively well done," Haihara Ai said speechlessly after walking out. "And the goldfish display cabinet."
"The others are quite different from what you can see at Asahi Shengyi's underwater restaurant before," Qianyu said with a bored expression. "After all, the Tokyo Tower has hardware limitations here, so it is unlikely that it can be used.
Compared to that kind of place.”
"Let's go up and take a look first," Haiyuan Ai suggested. "After looking at it, we can come down and visit this building."
"Okay." Qianyu nodded.
Today is Monday, so there are not many people. When Qianyu and Haihara Ai came to the elevator leading to the 150-meter-high observation deck, they found that there was no one at all.
"Even if the elevator has just gone up, it means there are not many people today." Qianyu said with interest. "Maybe we can get a leisurely viewing space up there."
"But it will take some time for the elevator to come down," Haihara Ai looked at the elevator floors. "I'm going to get a commemorative coin first."
"Commemorative coins?" Qianyu was stunned. He looked in the direction where Huiyuan Ai was walking and found that there was a commemorative coin pressing machine lying in the corner not far from them - this is a kind of coin pressing machine that uses human power to turn the handle.
A machine that uses power to press commemorative coins, and this machine apparently has two handles of different heights to accommodate adults and children. "I didn't even realize there was this one here...I'll get one later too."
.”
"Yeah." Haibara Ai stuffed the 500 yen coin into the coin slot, then put his hand on the handle of the coin press and turned the handle.
Just when Qianyu walked towards Haiyuan Ai, his handle was suddenly blocked by a powerful force.
"Ah!" Haiyuan Ai let out a small exclamation after her hand was stretched. She tried to turn the handle again but found that the handle could no longer be turned. Even if she grabbed both hands on the handle, she could not turn the handle.
"The original commemorative coin has entered the suppression stage..." Qianyu quickly came to Haiyuan Ai, observed it and said. "Although this machine is not difficult for adults, it seems to be more laborious for us.
, after all, the moment arm looks a bit short, and the inside may be a bit rusty. Otherwise... we turn the handle together? In this case, maybe it can be turned."
"..." After Haiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment, he nodded. "Okay."
When Qianyu was about to put his hand on the handle, he discovered that the handle might be able to be held completely by an adult, but it was not large enough for two children to hold it side by side. If he held his hand on the edge of the handle,
Very easy to slip off.
Well...
"Haiyuan, please let go of your hand first." Qianyu said. "I hold the handle, and then you hold my hand, and we pull together."
"Okay." Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head and said softly.
Qian Yu walked between Haihara Ai and the handle, intertwined the eight fingers of both hands except the thumb, pulled the handle, and then fixed the handle with his thumb. "It's your turn."
"I know," Hui Yuan Ai subconsciously put his hands around Qian Yu's neck, but found that his hands were not long enough. "You move forward a little bit."
"Oh, okay - wait a minute," Qianyu was about to move forward, but found something was wrong. "You can just stand in front of me to the right."
"Okay." Haiyuan came to Qianyu's right front, and then pressed his two hands on Qianyu's hands holding the handle.
"Three, two, one," Qianyu took a deep breath, then counted down softly. "Pull!"
Qianyu and Haiyuan Ai exerted force at the same time, and the handle slowly turned with this force.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the handle that had been so awkward suddenly started to turn smoothly again, and Haiyuan Ai, who was caught off guard, let go of his hand in an instant, and his whole body fell backwards, directly hitting Qian Yu's body.
"Uh..." Qianyu groaned.
"Sorry!" Haiyuan Ai immediately stabilized his figure and turned to look at Qian Yu. "Are you okay?"
"Fortunately..." Qianyu glanced at the position of his chest. "This auxiliary unit is very large (the auxiliary unit was attached to Qianyu's chest, remember?), so you suffered a dull pain after hitting it.
...But now it’s basically better.”
"That's fine," Haiyuan Ai took out the commemorative coin they had just pressed out from the coin outlet. "I'll give you this commemorative coin. I guess you don't have the strength to press out the second one."
"If you don't want to put it in the house, why don't you just put it in the living room? What should I do..." Qianyu shrugged, and then suddenly looked in the direction of the elevator. "Ah, the elevator is down."
"Let's take the elevator first." Haiyuan Ai glanced at the elevator floor, and walked towards the elevator with Qian Yu.
The elevator door opened, but no one came out, so Qianyu and Haihara Ai walked in and pressed the button leading to the large observation deck.
The elevator door slowly closed and then began to accelerate upward.
The watch on Qian Yu's hand pointed to nine forty-five, and time froze at this moment.
"Boom!" The explosion was deafening.
Chapter completed!
