Vest life from scratch

The ones who broke into the bank and prepared to rob were three robbers who covered their heads and wrapped themselves tightly.

They are well-trained to control the staff, so as to force the security guards to abandon their weapons, and then bind the hands and feet of the security guards with tape to effectively control them.

Next, they confiscated the mobile phones of all the hostages, and then pointed a gun at Sake, who looked the thinnest except for minors, and asked him to tie up everyone's hands and feet.

Of course, Sake agreed 'cowardly', and then when it was his turn to tie up Barcelo, he silently loosened the shackles given to him a little, and then marked '20 minutes' on his stretched palm.

Barcelo clenched his hands, and twitched his index finger up and down.

Sake continued to tie him up one by one in silence, and when it was the turn of the penultimate boy named Shinichi, he felt that the other boy was writing something quickly in his palm.

He recognized: "Loosen up, plz."

Sake pretended to be exhausted and leaned against his ear, and said softly, "No."

Then he straightened up with an apology, and bound the other party's hands so that they looked firm but were actually very loose.

Feeling this, Kudo Shinichi was at a loss: ...Why bother?

Doesn't this person feel uncomfortable if he doesn't choke him?

In fact, if it weren't for Chacha's wink, I really wouldn't be ready for him to relax with sake:?

When facing Mao Lilan, Sake hesitated, and loosened her tape a little, so as not to leave too deep marks on the opponent.

Afterwards, the fourth of the kidnappers also tied his hands and feet.

Sake looked at the fourth kidnapper, and the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched subtly.

The other party blinked those black eyes with loving pupils at him, then turned and returned to the leader's side.He understood the hint, calmly broke free, put his hand into his pocket, typed a code blindly, and pressed the start button.

He withdrew his hand and re-disguised himself as being restrained.

Kudo Shinichi on the other side, while vigilantly protecting his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, tried to keep calm and take everything that happened now into his eyes.Although I am curious about the relationship between the strange masked man and the fourth robber who appeared out of nowhere, and what tricks the masked man did in his pocket just now, there are more important things now.

He listened carefully and confirmed that he heard the slight countdown.

The source of the countdown sound is...

He quietly peeked at the bank counter, wondering how he should get close to it.

When he was distressed, he noticed that the fourth robber pointed a gun at himself: "Hey, what are you sneaking around?" The robber roughly pulled him to the side of the counter, and then pressed him hard on the counter. He squatted down, "Squat here obediently, boy, I'll watch you in person!"

Immediately, Mao Lilan was so frightened that she burst into tears and shouted loudly: "Xinyi!"

Kudo Shinichi poked his head out from the counter and gave her a silent gesture, and then he was kicked to the side of the bomb by the robber who was probably his own, and shouted sharply: "Be safe! Otherwise, you will Shoot!"

The above series of actions happened to be in the blind spot of the robber boss, which made him appreciate the actions of the fourth person.

...Wait, where did we get the fourth person from...

He vaguely remembered that someone said he wanted to join halfway, and gave them a perfect plan and guidance.

The boss, who had lost his doubts, calmed down a little, and continued to arrange for the remaining two to carry a large amount of cash. At the same time, he did not forget to ask number four to take good care of the group of hostages, and stop any abnormalities in time.

"Yes!"

Number Four also lived up to his high expectations, and answered him in a serious and earnest tone.

The boss nodded in satisfaction, and finally relaxed his vigilance completely.

No. 15—Chacha took the opportunity to kick the bomb disposal tool box to Kudo Shinichi’s hand with a slight movement, and by the way, used the tip of his shoe to draw a 15 on the ground in front of him, indicating the bomb disposal time that could be given to him Only [-] minutes left.

Kudo Shin nodded, and after breaking free from the shackles, he completely focused on dismantling the bomb.

Out of interest, Chacha has always allocated part of her attention to Kudo Shinichi.

Even if the bomb explodes, he can escape with the person he wants to take with him. He doesn't care whether the bomb can be dismantled successfully. More interesting words.

He wandered among the hostages leisurely, noticing that Barcelo had disappeared from his sight by taking advantage of the opportunity he created just now, and Sake pressed the phone openly and openly relying on the convenience of being in the blind spot of others' vision .

After coming over for a while, Chacha received a message on her phone.

——All information belonging to Kudo Shinichi.

After reading it, Chacha touched her lips and thought for a while, and while pretending to be patrolling the hostages, she slipped the document bag that she had been hiding next to her body under the computer where the surveillance video was stored.

He took out the black lipstick that the other party was carrying with him from the sake pocket, and wrote some words on the bottom of the table with his backhand.

After finishing writing, he stuffed the lipstick back into his sake pocket, took another look at the little detective who was still trying to dismantle the bomb, turned around and walked into the bank in the name of a report.

A moment later, gunshots came from inside.

First there were two crisp shots, followed by four intermittent shots, accompanied by the scream of the robber boss.

Kudo Shinichi raised his head when he heard the movement, he really wanted to rush in to see the situation immediately, but the unfinished bomb disposal project at hand couldn't give him this chance.He had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart and continue to work, but the screams of the robber boss inside gradually subsided, and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't notice that the fourth robber had disappeared without knowing when.

Also missing with him was the suspicious man in a knitted cap and mask.

After Kudo Shinichi spent 10 minutes carefully disposing of the bomb, he took a breath, and caught another subtle ticking sound in the commotion hall.

"...?!"

There was obviously no such voice before.

Before he had time to think too much, he stood up and followed the sound to find the direction where the countdown sound came from.

The source of the sound is deep under the computer.The gap there is so small that it is theoretically impossible to fit a bomb in it.

He tried his best to hold the table close to the ground and look under the computer, but he still couldn't find a space for a bomb under it, but when he raised his head, he found something written in black under the table he was holding. two lines.

"Goodluck."

"Little detective."

He immediately recognized the only person who could have written those two lines: the fourth robber.

Then he realized another thing, that was the 15-minute time limit given to him by the fourth robber. This time limit was not the time limit for him to dismantle the bomb, but the timing of the bomb he was facing now— —and now he has spent 10 minutes.

The remaining time is not enough for him to do anything with the bomb.

I do not know why the police did not arrive.

Kudo Shinichi first untied Mao Lilan, then asked her to rescue others, and then called the police with the cell phone that had been confiscated before.

The police officer Mu Mu who received his call arrived 5 minutes later, because the bombing case is currently being handled by the blasting team. After he hastily directed the police to send the other hostages, including Mao Lilan, to the hospital for examination, They stood side by side with Kudo Shinichi in silence, watching the bank in front of them being blown up into a huge firework.

"...Before I left, I saw through the locked glass door that the boss of the robber group was obviously still alive." Kudo Shin said to Police Officer Mumu in a low voice, "He... looked at me beggingly, desperately Repeating a sentence: 'Help me', getting weaker and weaker, but I can't help it... I..."

"The password of the glass door has been rewritten. There is obviously someone who can reset the password, but the password cannot be reset, and the emergency opening command cannot be executed... He is covered in blood, separated by a bulletproof glass door..."

He couldn't go on.

Officer Mu Mu patted him on the shoulder silently: "You have done well enough."

Kudo Shinichi did not speak.

The black-haired girl who came with Police Officer Megure disregarded the police's obstruction, and approached the fire scene without saying a word to observe for a while, and found a note from under a piece of rubble, only to be ignored by the two men who ran over. He dragged it back mercilessly.

She took the note and chatted with the two men in a low voice for a while before walking to Shinichi Kudo: "This should be a message for you, you can take a look."

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head slowly, took the note and stared at the content on it.

It was the same handwriting as the text under the table before:

"...Think we're on your side?"

"Next time, don't trust others casually."

"My sweet little detective."

When Shin Kudo read the note, police officer Megure led the trio a little further away, and greeted them familiarly: "Minazuki, Matsuda, Hagiwara, why are you three here?"

"We happened to be meeting nearby today." The girl replied politely, "Heard the sirens, so I wanted to come over to see if there was anything I could do to help."

Police officer Mu Mu nodded and accepted her statement.

He briefly explained the known situation, and then asked the three of them if they had any ideas.

Kenji Hagiwara rationally made a judgment: "Although it is not yet possible to go to the site for investigation, it can be judged that there is only one explosion point. Judging by the power of this bomb, I am afraid that this bomber is not simple."

Matsuda Jinpei immediately reported the possible ingredients of the bomb, and then commented: "It's not something that ordinary people can touch."

Police officer Mu Mu wrote it down carefully in his notebook.

Anana's angle is different from that of the two.

"... Judging from the content of the note, this explosion probably had a special purpose." She said after deliberation, "Unlike most of the bombers, the purpose of this explosion is not so much to hide clues, or to pursue the aftermath of the explosion. The chaotic effect is more like just saying hello to someone."

She said and gestured to Kudo Shinichi who was still reading the note.

"Sure enough." Officer Megure had expected it long ago, "Then do you think that Kudo...will be in any danger?"

"The people around him are more dangerous." Minazukimian said matter-of-factly, "Usually, criminals don't casually attack the detectives they fancy. ...then as long as the criminal's interest in the detective does not diminish, the detective will be safest."

"However... the days ahead should be very painful." Whether it is physically or psychologically.

Officer Meguro nodded heavily.

"It's okay, and you don't have to worry too much about it." Minazukimian reassured, "Aren't we adults still here? Although we can't interfere too much with the lives of the younger generations, it's okay to watch more."

"we can only do this."

Officer Mu Mu sighed, and turned the topic to this case again.

Kudo Shinichi took a while to sort out his mood and calm down, and came over to return the note and joined the discussion by the way.

After all, he was a witness at the scene, he knew more than them, but the information he gave was limited.Obviously the image of the man in the mask and the No. [-] robber is in his mind, but as long as he wants to say it, his impression of the two will be forcibly cleared for no reason.

He just felt that he might be bewitched.

No, this could be the memory gap caused by the so-called post-traumatic stress disorder.

Although Shui An Yue Mian noticed his abnormality, but considering what happened to this kid before, she still didn't ask.

The two exchanged their respective information and came to a conclusion almost at the same time:

The explosion is not the way the other party chooses by chance, but the inevitable choice. The reason why the bomb is installed under the computer that stores the surveillance video is probably that the robber No. [-] and his accomplices have shown their faces in the surveillance, and the purpose of killing the robber is to destroy the body. disappear.

"No. [-] may have more than one accomplice." Shui Wuyue Mian made another judgment at the same time.

This is a guess Kudo Shinichi failed to make, and he quickly reversed the previous scene.

……indeed.

The previous actions of No. [-] making noise and arresting him were not so much to let him dismantle the bomb, but more like diverting other people's attention to create opportunities for his accomplices.

And there is a high probability that this accomplice will not be the masked man exposed in his eyes.

In other words, there is a high possibility of other accomplices.

"Officer Mumu, please give me a copy of the photos of the hostages for inspection later. I want to recall them and see if I can find any clues about the accomplice of No. [-]." He said to Officer Mumu.

"Well, I'll ask them to take a picture."

None of them mentioned the monitoring backup that would be uploaded. After all, one of the other parties had a master hacker who could forcibly change the bank's door opening password, so it was impossible to ignore the backup on the network.

But just in case, they still applied to the bank's superiors for monitoring.

The note left by the suspect was brought back to the police station by police officer Megure for fingerprint and handwriting identification, but the information that can be obtained is probably very limited.

That's all they can do right now.

Kudo Shinichi still had a heavy expression on his face.

Minazutsutsumi thought for a moment, and handed him a business card: "I am the director of Minazutsuki Detective Agency, Minazutsumeni. However, my business is more like a private detective than a private detective. Sherlock Holmes-like consulting detectives... would you be interested in visiting my office?"

Kudo Shinichi, who heard Sherlock Holmes, was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized that Minazukimen was tactfully diverting his attention to calm his emotions.

He smiled gratefully, then declined:

"Do not disturb..." you.

Then, he heard Azuna Yuemeno continue in a tone as if saying that the weather is good today: "My friend gave me the first edition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet". Would you be interested in…”

Kudo Shin changed his words in an instant:

"If you don't bother."

The author has something to say: vv: A certain novel today complained in one sentence: college entrance examination, composition, 3000 words.

Me: Yes, between the brain and the hands, one must die.

Qingmei: Yes, between the brain and the hand, I must die.

Girlfriend: Yes, between the brain and the hands, a bunch of me must die.
