The thief girl wants to buy a home in Rice Flower

Chapter 24 The Ferris Wheel of Horror

Don't sleep in the ferris wheel, you will become unlucky.

When Bourbon sent me back to Ley's house, he happened to meet Ley at the door of the house. Two bottles of whiskey met our eyes, and the fire burst into lightning and thunder.I left them in a daze and went in first, not knowing what they were talking about outside. I didn't see Ley come back more than ten minutes later, and I was quite happy to see it.

I heard him talk while he was preparing dinner, and it was about Phantom Thief M, and Bourbon finally caught up with him.

After catching up, when I think of Bourbon's words during the day, "You are not Mello, you are Phantom Thief M", I am sincerely relieved, and I really want to show that kind of bewildered smile that no one can understand.

However, I soon lost my joy.

Who would be happy if suddenly called to work overtime by a non-direct supervisor during the holiday?

"Qin Jiu asked me to help him tomorrow... Is he unable to control you?" I instantly cried and said, "How can I help him? Did he call me out in the name of helping? Are you trying to kill me secretly?"

"Where are you going?"

"The shopping mall on the Kubado-cho side."

"Over there? What are you doing?"

"Let me ride the Ferris wheel near noon and stare at their trading site from a high place." I have nothing to love written all over my face, "Why doesn't he go to the amusement park to trade and let me ride a roller coaster from a high place?" Are you watching?"

Ley looked at me with a doting expression, and wrote "You think too much" all over his face.

·

I think gin really wants to kill me, there is a bomb in the box of the Ferris wheel.

Some time ago, according to Gin’s request, I paid for ten rounds of the Ferris wheel and leaned against the side of the box overlooking the trading site.This environment of slow movement and slight white noise is easy to make people sleepy. In addition, there is still a period of time before the transaction. By the third lap, I could no longer hold my head against the glass and take a nap.

Then I was awakened by the sound of the explosion, and looked down in a daze, thinking that the gin loaded with the bomb didn't tell me that I was out of sight, and I almost fell asleep again when I leaned to the side.When I realized that it was the control room of the Ferris wheel and I was about to escape, I suddenly found that the backpack strap was stuck in the gap of the seat. I don’t know where it was hanging. Put on your seat belt.

And when I finally pulled out the backpack strap, the curly-haired policeman who just entered the box had already opened the barrier under the seat opposite me, and almost dismantled the bomb inside.

"...What's going on?" I blinked blankly, feeling that I hadn't woken up yet, "Where did the bomb come from?"

"Of course the prisoner put it here, are you still outside the situation?" He looked up at me a little funny, "Why didn't you prepare to leave the box in advance?"

"Because I paid for ten laps, this is only the fourth lap or the fifth lap..."

Hey, wait a minute, if there are bombs here, isn't the explosion just now caused by gin?What kind of trouble am I getting into?

And I always feel that I have seen this curly-haired boy somewhere... When and where did I see it...

"Your mood is quite stable, aren't you afraid?"

"It's not so much that you're not afraid, it's better to say that you look very safe, and you were very skilled in dismantling the bomb just now. Although your attire doesn't look like a policeman from the mobile team, it's more like a criminal department..."

I seem to remember that the curly hair that entered the building next door with Bourbon yesterday seems to be his hairstyle.

Now I see something wrong with his eyes... No, a similar hairstyle doesn't mean it's the same person, I shouldn't suspect Bourbon, and even if Bourbon really mixed up with the police, it has nothing to do with me.

"It is indeed the criminal department now." He shrugged, but his smile suddenly deepened, and his self-confidence from the inside out seemed to break through the haze of the sky, and instantly illuminated my eyes, "But don't worry, I am a professional , A bomb of this level is dismantled in a few minutes."

My heart beat a little faster.

His face is my type, as is his sincerity and confidence.

"What a confident policeman...can I answer the phone? Doesn't it affect your work?"

"Please."

The person who called was Gin, who probably noticed something unexpected happened to the Ferris wheel, and as the person in charge, confirmed my life and death.

"Yes, I'm still in the Ferris wheel."

"Yes, there is a bomb|bomb—of course I don't know what it is. I was asleep, no, I was observing the situation, and the control room suddenly exploded. Anyway, I didn't come down in the end."

"The police are demolishing it. There are still more than 6 minutes left. It should be too late..."

The next second the box suddenly shook violently, and after it stabilized, I noticed that the box we were in was almost just past the highest point, and the Ferris wheel was no longer turning.

"What's the situation..."

I muttered and looked towards the curly-haired policeman, only to find that his expression became a little subtle, and the self-confidence just now seemed to have disappeared, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

"……Police officer?"

"The vibration just now activated a dangerous switch, which is a mercury lever." He said to the phone next to him, probably explaining the situation to his colleagues. Suddenly he turned his head to look at me, and told him very seriously, "Don't move around. Miss, any slight vibration will cause the bomb to detonate."

I froze for a moment, and subconsciously repeated: "Mercury lever?"

And from the phone that was not hung up, the sound of gin came suddenly.

"I have already avenged you in advance." The man's voice was cold, "If you can survive, you should have time to cremate his body."

……Um?

"How did you die?"

Is this progress a bit too fast?Although I do feel that the criminal is nearby, it would be silly to take revenge in advance. Shouldn't we think about how to save people now?Why skip a step and get revenge directly!I can save it again!

Gin may be too lazy to continue talking nonsense to me, a dying man, and the person who answered turned into vodka: "It was a car accident. This guy noticed that he was spotted by his elder brother, and he jumped over the guardrail in a hurry to escape, but was hit by a car and flew away. Died on the spot. His mobile phone, which was supposed to be a remote control, was also smashed together."

Gin, what hatred do I have with you!

"...Then thank you for helping me, big brother. I will visit you often after I become a ghost."

After I hung up the phone, I was in a bad mood. I had a feeling that I had been poisoned, and then I heard that my world's strongest teacher watched others use the antidote.You said it’s fine if there’s no antidote, why don’t you try to grab it for me if there is an antidote?

The curly-haired policeman here just finished explaining the situation to his colleagues, and looked at me with some doubts: "What happened?"

"...The bomber is dead."

"……what?"

"It's the prisoner who installed the bomb. My friend discovered his identity, and when he was chasing him, he died in a car accident, and he took the mobile phone as a remote control with him on the road... How did you dismantle it?"

"It will be fine soon... ah."

Suddenly his expression changed again, and the atmosphere suddenly became dignified. I looked down, only to find that the LCD screen, which originally only had a countdown, was displaying subtitles.

"Three seconds before the explosion there will be a notification... what does it mean? It says there is another bigger bomb|bomb elsewhere?"

The curly-haired policeman nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the countdown of more than four minutes: "It seems so."

"...Then what should we do?"

"If there is a way to temporarily stabilize the mercury lever, you can just leave your phone here and receive notifications by video calling. The two of us will find a way to escape from this box at high altitude. The explosion range of this bomb|bomb|is not large , The surrounding guests have also been evacuated, so it doesn't matter if it blows up."

He made a helpless gesture of spreading his hands, but his tone was still brisk.

"But there is no such way, so I have to wait until the last three seconds, look at the prompts a little, and then I will quickly cut the remaining thread. If my hand speed is a little slower, then everyone will go on the road together."

That is to say, since the prisoner has set a reminder that will appear in the last three seconds, it may be difficult to solve the puzzle without reading the reminder, and it is almost impossible to cut the remaining thread at the last moment.

The worst development, it seems that when the poison in me is about to be unraveled, I suddenly get a reminder that my teacher has been sealed into the prison gate, and I must stay in the poisoned state until I die immediately. After getting the apocalypse, I wanted to understand how to break the seal, but at that time my state was beyond recovery.

"Or, regardless of another bomb, at least get you out first."

So there is another option?

I looked into his dark pupils, opened my mouth, and for a while didn't know what to say.

"You... what would you do if you were alone?"

He answered almost instantly: "Do you still need to say it? Of course I am waiting to see the prompt."

"So, you let me decide for myself, my own life and death?"

"I'm sorry, did you put too much pressure on you?" He turned his head and looked at me, his eyes were clear, "I can't say that for the survival of most people, you must die here with me. Of course I hope you can live, but it must be you who decides that."

I really met an amazing person who asked me to die in love the first time we met, and what's even more outrageous is that I didn't want to refuse at all.

"In this way, in the future, your friends and my friends, as well as the people saved by our dedication, will think of us when they see the Ferris wheel." I hooked the corners of my lips and said briskly, " There are still 3 minutes, which should be enough for me to write my last words to my friends."

"Have you decided yet?"

"Yeah." I nodded, "It's just... a little reluctant."

Before the deadline, my hand speed was very fast, and I sent the emails to Bourbon Rye Scotland and Shirley in less than a minute. Most of the content was highly similar, but they probably wouldn't check the last words.So what if the repetition is high, people are dying, do you have to make up hundreds of words for each person without repeating the same joke?

Wait, why did I give up so quickly?

The curly-haired police officer's words affected my judgment. He didn't have a way to stabilize the mercury lever, but that doesn't mean I didn't.Although my system is not smart and very stingy, it barely has everything.

"I said...the melting point of mercury, I remember it was minus 39 degrees?"

"What do you mean?"

"You may not believe it, I happen to have a tank of liquid nitrogen in my bag, have you regained hope of life?"

The curly-haired police officer was stunned for a moment, then answered the wrong question: "My mobile phone is almost out of battery."

The corner of my mouth twitched slightly: "...reimbursement?"

He nodded frankly: "I'll take you to buy a new one in a while."

One minute later, the door of the Ferris wheel box was kicked open by the curly-haired police officer. Facing the cold wind in late autumn, I aimed at the bracket closest to us and took a deep breath.

The curly-haired police officer took the lead in jumping. He precisely stepped on a support, grabbed the thin pole next to him, and stretched out his hand to me.

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have asked your name. I'm Matsuda Jinpei. How about you?"

I froze for a moment. I didn’t expect to meet someone with the surname Matsuda. The image of Bourbon’s Mazda flashed in my mind. When I realized it, my spare pseudonym blurted out: “Matsuda Meili.”
