The pitch-black vertical tunnel is almost exactly the size of an adult.
Because they went up the stairs when they were imprisoned here, they used flashlights to shine on the ground and roughly judged that the height of the entire "well" was about one floor.
Fortunately, there was an upright iron pipe in the middle that was not too thick. The three of them slid down the iron pipe and quickly reached the well.
After going down to the bottom of the well, Conan noticed that there was a square tunnel leading to an unknown place close to the wall on the second floor. A cold wind blew through, telling the three of them that this was the ventilation place.
Because the height of this horizontal tunnel is very low, adults almost have to squat to move forward, so Conan held a flashlight to open the way.
The distance of the tunnel was very short and it reached the end soon, and they also knew why the gangsters had sealed the windows but did not pay much attention to this more obvious thing.
Because there is only a rectangular window on the wall at the end, and there is no iron rod welded in the middle, it is a dead end.
"No, it can't be broken at all!" Ryosuke and Hattori Heiji tried their best together, but found that the iron railing was completely motionless.
"This seems to be behind the building." Because this window is close to the horizon, Conan can easily see what's going on outside.
The ground was covered with abandoned dead leaves and overgrown with weeds.
But just when Ryosuke was getting discouraged, Hattori Heiji discovered that the end of the middle railing was a little different from the other railings. It was more severely corroded and could no longer maintain an upright column.
At this moment, the three of them were all energetic. Although this pillar, which was full of rust and slightly bent, was half rotten, it was the brightest thing in their hearts at the moment!
Because introduction is the hope of escape!!
If this thing is broken, although adults can't get out of this space, it will definitely not be a problem for Conan's classmates who are sometimes bigger and sometimes smaller, and sometimes high and sometimes low.
If an ordinary child goes out to a place where there may be barren mountains or abandoned buildings, and has to go all the way to find a place to call for help, he may still worry about whether there will be an accident, but Conan is not at all worried about it.
Problem!
It is completely an adult's thinking, able to calmly judge the surrounding environment, and there is also a headset phone. Even if you can't find a public phone booth, you can find a place with a signal to make a call.
"Quickly! Find the key! Or something else!" Ryosuke said excitedly: "Now is the time to race against time!"
"I feel like you suddenly became very active." Urged by Ryousuke, Hattori Heiji took out the keys and said with a smile.
"After all, having you two here gives me hope!"
Ryosuke had already taken the key in his hand and started cutting. He kept moving his hands and said: "God knows how desperate I was at the beginning, but I saw the possibility of escape in you two.
Even if there is only a little spark, I will fight hard to catch it. My wife and the child who is about to be born are still waiting for me!
And seeing that you two guys who are younger than me are working hard, I feel that I can’t give up, and I should do this just considering my age!”
"By the way, how old are you, Ryosuke-san? I always feel like you are very young."
Conan, who was sitting idle because the space could only accommodate two people for cutting, couldn't help but ask after hearing Ryosuke's words.
"Just turned twenty."
"You're going to be a father just after you turn 20?" Even Hattori Heiji was surprised this time.
Hearing this, Ryousuke smiled and said: "Although I haven't had any personal experience of being a father, this is the first time I have a so-called perfect family, so I cherish it very much."
"Eh? What about your parents?" Conan asked in surprise.
"Shortly after I was born, I died in an accident while on a business trip, so I was raised by my grandfather."
When Ryousuke said about his grandfather, he couldn't help but smile and said: "He was very stubborn in his personality during the Showa era.
I told him that my girlfriend got very angry when she was pregnant, saying things like, "How can you do such a thing as a student?" and that there was no reason to help someone who was about to become a father."
"Does that mean we've severed ties with you?" Conan asked.
"Well... you can put it that way..." Ryousuke nodded.
"It's not easy for you either." Hattori Heiji sighed: "Let's reconcile with grandpa after we go out this time."
"Of course." Liangsuke nodded and said, "When the time comes, for the sake of my great-grandson, he will also forgive me!"
Just like that, the three of them took the key and began to "grind the iron rod into a needle" in the dark tunnel bit by bit to escape.
…………..
While Conan and others were thinking of ways to save themselves, Karasawa and others were also busy that night.
The ticket stub was found through everyone's screening, and it was sent to the forensics department for fingerprint extraction along with the red button that was suspected to be pulled from the clown's body.
Although the current technology is still very backward, the confusing timeline jump keys and fingerprint database have been established.
Although it is not perfect at present, most of the data collected are ex-convicts and current criminals, and the comparison speed is slow and has various problems, but it is also a channel to quickly identify prisoners.
Of course, it could also be a guy with no criminal record, which would be more troublesome, but fortunately this did not happen.
After entering the fingerprints into the database for comparison, an unexpected person jumped out. Many people even thought that it would be better to not be able to find the owner of the fingerprints.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not joking!"
Seeing the information about the person in front of them, all the criminal characters present were extremely solemn.
Ueno Hirayama, male, 43 years old, was once an outstanding graduate of the National Guard University, and has been trained as a candidate cadre of the Guards.
But he was fired because of a conflict with his superiors over institutional issues.
Later, he joined the mercenary army and was active on various battlefields. He returned to China three years ago and soon became a dangerous Class A saboteur because of his radical methods and speech.
But they never expected that a simple kidnapping case would actually be connected with the saboteurs who were wanted!!
Now it’s really troublesome. If you fall into the hands of the kidnappers, the most you can ask for is a ransom. Although it’s a big deal, if you don’t get the money, at least your safety is guaranteed.
But if it falls into the hands of saboteurs, if one fails, the other party will shoot the hostages mercilessly, and the risk level increases by more than one level.
Looking at the other party's experience, even Tang Ze found it difficult. This guy was a complete battlefield veteran, and the difficulty of rescuing the hostages skyrocketed.
It can be said that the chance of survival of the hostages was instantly reduced by several levels!!
