If the opponent is really the bomber who killed Matsuda Jinpei last time, he is likely to repeat his old tricks and turn this elevator into a cruel choice field, an iron coffin.
The police department also knew the seriousness of the problem. He had just helped his subordinates adjust their mentality in a way that he thought would be effective, and then quickly returned to the topic: "Is the bomb in the elevator?"
"No." Sato Miwako had already noticed suspicious objects, but the elevator car was empty and there was nothing. "If there is a bomb here, it must be in the elevator passage or on the top of the elevator."
Sato happened to be standing against the wall at this time. When she reached the top of the elevator, she turned around to observe the situation above.
When he turned around, he was shocked to find that Matsuda was gone, but two legs were hanging down above his head.
When talking on the phone, people's thinking is always a little slower than usual.
This strange situation made Sato's mind buzz, and all kinds of ghost stories such as "elevator ghosts", "hanged people" and "bloody thighs" flashed by like a lantern.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed the ankle of one of the legs. Her first reaction was to swing the thing off and smash it to the ground a few times, so that whether it was a ghost or a monster, it would show its true form to her...
But before she exerted any force, the leg she was holding retracted, and then Matsuda leaned down from the top of the elevator to reveal his face, looking at her doubtfully.
Sato and the owner of that face looked at each other for a moment, and belatedly realized that it was Matsuda who had unknowingly lifted the roof of the elevator and climbed up. He probably also discovered that there was no bomb inside the elevator, so he wanted to see what was going on above.
.
"..."
Sato Miwako retracted her hand with a slight guilt, and cleared her throat in the face of the other party's slightly reproachful gaze: "Ahem, I'm afraid you'll fall, so I'll help you hold on... Well, can you see any suspicious explosives on it?"
Originally, she thought the answer was no, because Matsuda seemed to be emotionally stable. He seemed to be more concerned about the leg that had just been grabbed than the situation at the top of the elevator - this was not what a person who suddenly found himself trapped with a bomb should do.
Some situations.
But soon, Sato became disappointed.
She saw Matsuda nodded.
Then, probably because his voice was not working well today, he typed a line on his mobile phone and handed it to her: [The mercury rod has started to operate, please don't move it.]
No need to explain, it was not the first time she heard this word.
Three years ago, Matsuda Jinping's voice seemed to echo in my ears again: "It's a mercury rod. As long as it vibrates a little, the beads inside will roll. Once it touches the line, I'm done..."
It's a similar situation now.
...It turns out to be the same bomber.
Sato realized with an ugly face that even if the rescue team arrived, they would not be able to save them with the mercury pole.
The elevator is now stuck between two buildings. When the elevator is restarted, it will inevitably cause a certain degree of vibration.
And if the elevator is not moved and the rescue team is only allowed to go down the rope to the top of the elevator to rescue people, there will be vibrations the moment they land. Similarly, if Sato tries to climb from the elevator car to the outside, it will still cause vibrations.
The only good news is that Matsuda is now on the top of the elevator and does not need to climb additionally, so the rescue team can hang a rope and pull him away... huh? Wait.
Sato was confused: "Is there really a mercury pole? Then how did you get up there?"
According to experience, the mercury rod should have been opened after the small explosion just now. At that time, Matsuda was still standing in the elevator...
Click——
There was the sound of a camera taking pictures overhead, and the flash flashed.
Matsuda took a picture of the scene at the top of the elevator and handed her his cell phone to show.
On the screen was a huge bomb with an LCD screen showing a countdown, and there was indeed a mercury rod next to it.
"..." Sato Miwako thought about it for a moment and realized that when she was on the phone just now, she did not hear or feel the movement of Matsuda climbing the elevator... Are you so skilled?
She put herself in her shoes again and found that she would never be able to climb to the top so easily, so she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Did she embarrass the police team by being such a bad person...
The Mumu Police Department also learned about the situation in the elevator, realized the seriousness of the situation, and contacted various departments to begin responding.
Residents around the Tokyo Tower were evacuated one after another, and the explosive ordnance disposal team also came to the elevator with tools.
At this time, Conan, who was with Takagi, also discovered that the Toto Tower resembled the location mentioned in the gangster's "invitation letter".
The two arrived quickly, but were stopped and refused to enter.
In the end, Takagi relied on swiping his face to swipe his ID, and came all the way to Megure: "Police department! How is the situation now? I heard on the news that someone was trapped in the elevator? Can I help?"
Memu glanced at Takagi and didn't say much. He just asked him to follow a team of police officers to go around the Tokyo Tower to look for people who had not yet evacuated.
Takagi didn't think much and obeyed the order and left.
But the gifts he brought remained.
Conan always felt that the police department looked a little strange.
He looked around, but did not see Miwako Sato, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "The person trapped in the elevator must be Officer Sato." Otherwise, Sato would be so concerned about the bombing.
It should appear...
The Mumu Police Department looked at him and sighed, becoming a qualified intelligence agent again:
"It's Sato and Matsuda. The rescuers can't get into the elevator at the moment, but don't worry, they will use ropes to hoist the bomb disposal tools in. Once the bomb is dismantled, they can break open the elevator and rescue." ...provided that the gangsters don't want to.
Then lay the trap of exchanging lives for information.
Conan was startled when he heard this: "Matsuda?"
Yesterday, he heard the story of the bombing three years ago from a gossipy female police officer, and also learned that "Matsuda" was a police officer who had died in the line of duty.
...So he heard it wrong yesterday? Matsuda was actually not dead?
Or are there two police officers named Matsuda in the First Search Division?
Memu saw him stunned, and understood what Conan was thinking, and explained: "It's not that Matsuda, it's his brother. Although his brother didn't go to the police academy, it seems..."
Mumu made some excuses: "It seems that he is self-taught. In short, there should be no problem with his bomb disposal skills. They will be safe and sound."
"Oh..." Conan's heart suddenly jumped.
He suddenly remembered that when Takagi was on a mission before, he had worn a curly hair and a pair of sunglasses to disguise himself, and then he was slapped by Sato... It was said that the outfit looked too much like Matsuda.
At that time, Conan didn't understand the love and hatred of the police officers. He just had a slight thought - Takagi's dress looked a bit like a black cat, and his wave... corn vest.
