"you……"
"Wait a minute. After the quarrel, you guys went out to quarrel. Officer, did you say there is a bomb in this building?"
After being insulted by Yakushiji Ryoko, Muromachi Yukiko was about to retaliate when Yan Kai spoke up, interrupting the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two.
Hearing Yan Kai ask about the bomb, Muromachi Yukiko remembered that now every second counts, but she had wasted so much time on Yakushiji Ryoko. It was a major dereliction of duty, and she couldn't help but blush. .
"Yes, there is a bomb in the building, and you don't know when it will explode. Young man, get out of here quickly!"
The blushing Muromachi Yukiko said to Yan.
"Well...this is really difficult..."
Yan Kai muttered.
As the landmark building of Miwa Town, the daily passenger flow of the Rice Flower Building is already large. Now it coincides with the Golden Week, which is the time of year with the largest number of visitors. It is difficult to estimate how many people are in the building. With so many people, even if The building is intact and there is no obstruction to traffic. Evacuation is not something that can be done in a short time.
After the explosion, only those residents of Miwa Town who happened to be on the lower floors escaped with rich experience (?). More visitors on the upper floors were trapped due to collapse of stairs, power outage in the elevator, etc. Floors cannot be escaped. Even Yakushiji Ryoko opened the door of the stopped elevator and climbed down along the wire rope, but she could only climb to the current floor and could not go down anymore.
Now there are multiple explosions inside the building, the power system has been destroyed, the environment in the building is dark after the lighting has been lost, and some areas have partially collapsed, trapping visitors, all of which have made the rescue work difficult.
With many factors superimposed, it is indeed not something that can be done in a short time to rescue all the people in the building. However, there is still a bomb that will explode at an unknown time in the building, which adds great anxiety to the rescue work.
"Do you have a design drawing of the building? Show it to me."
Yan Kai reached out to Muromachi Yukiko.
"Yes, yes..."
Muromachi Yukiko hesitantly took out the blueprints. She had just been rescuing people according to the blueprints. Some passages had collapsed seriously and could not be cleared in a short time, so she needed to follow the blueprints to take a detour and continue moving forward.
"Thanks."
Yan Kai took the drawing directly from Muromachi Yukiko's hand and started reading it.
After just one glance, Yan Kai frowned: "Isn't this asymmetrical?"
In his opinion, the building on the design drawing, cut in half and put together, is just like looking in a mirror. Can this be called asymmetry?
"Well, by the standards of prisoners, it seems to be a little bit interesting..."
Muromachi Yukiko nodded.
"It's simply sick..."
Yan Kai muttered something in a low voice, and both Yakushiji Ryoko and Muromachi Yukiko believed Yan Kai's words. This Moritani Emperor was not only sick, but also seriously ill!
After quickly reading the design drawing and deducing it in his mind, Yan Kai said at the same time: "May I ask, this Moritani Teiji, is he really a very serious patient with symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"His obsessive-compulsive disorder has become so severe that he wants to blow up his asymmetric works. I think it's already at an advanced stage."
Muromachi Yukiko recalled Moritani Teiji's crazy look when she captured him, and she was very sure.
"His architectural style seems to favor left-right symmetry, right?"
Yan Kai asked again.
"Well, it is said that he lived in Britain until high school. He is very particular about the symmetry of British classical architecture, that is, left-right symmetry. He believes that this is the most coordinated and perfect architectural style."
Muromachi Yukiko didn't speak, but Yakushiji Ryoko patiently explained to Yan Kai.
After thinking about it, Ryoko Yakushiji continued: "I remember that Moritani Teiji was originally named Moritani Sadaharu, but he changed his name to Moritani Teiji later, just to make his name symmetrical."
Yan Kai's eyes twitched after listening to Yakushiji Ryoko's words: "I've only heard that some people thought their original names were unpleasant or that they changed their names to improve their luck. This is the first time I've heard of people who thought their names were asymmetrical and changed their names. of……"
"Well, this world is like this, there are all kinds of people..."
Ryoko Yakushiji shows her hands.
Muromachi Yukiko couldn't help but take another look at Yakushiji Ryoko. She didn't remember Yakushiji Ryoko as someone who would answer other people's questions so patiently, especially when the other person was an ordinary-looking boy... huh? Does this person look familiar?
Because the internal power supply system of the building was destroyed, the lighting was lost, and the lighting effect was relatively dim. Yukiko Muromachi felt anxious. For a while, she did not recognize Yan Kai as the "hostage" she had met in the Mitsubishi Bank robbery. But as the communication lasted longer, she gradually recognized Yan Kai.
"British classical architecture is perfectly coordinated?" Yan Kaifa sneered, "The architectural style of an archipelago nation's robbers is still perfectly coordinated? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"
After Yan Kai paused, he added: "Ah, I didn't talk about you."
It can only be said that Japan and Britain, one is an Asian shit stirrer and the other is a European shit stirrup. The two countries, also known as the "double red stick", have too many similarities. It is easy to criticize one of them and the other too. , but because what he said was all the truth, Yan Kai wouldn't feel sorry.
Thank you, it was taken into consideration.
Yakushiji Ryoko and Muromachi Yukiko both had dark faces.
"Ahem! You don't like the British architectural style?"
Yakushiji Ryoko coughed.
"Well, I like Suzhou's garden-style architecture."
Yan Kai nodded.
"Suzhou garden-style architectural style? What kind of architectural style is this?"
Ryoko Yakushiji was curious. Although she often went abroad and was very familiar with the architectural styles of various European countries, she had never been to the Central Plains, so she was not very clear about the classical architectural styles of the Central Plains.
"This is really a lot to talk about. Let me put it simply, it is deliberately asymmetrical."
Yan Kai smiled.
"..." Yakushiji Ryoko was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled, "It seems that you and Moritani Teiji are naturally at odds with each other!"
"Probably." Yan Kai returned the design to Yukiko Muromachi, and then said to her, "Officer Muromachi, I probably know where the bombs are. You continue to rescue people, and I will deal with the bombs."
"Do you know where the bomb is?"
Muromachi Yukiko couldn't help but look sideways.
The Rice Flower Building is too big, with so many floors, and current access is restricted. Even if all her men are scattered in the building and asked to look for bombs, they may not be able to find a few bombs.
Moreover, after the first batch of bombs exploded, most of the Rice Flower Building was filled with a strong smell of explosives. It was impossible to rely on police dogs to make extraordinary achievements, so Muromachi Yukiko did not focus on searching for bombs. Instead, they will use all their strength to search for trapped visitors in the building and save every one they can.
Yan Kai explained to Muromachi Yukiko: "Officer Muromachi, you have to know that it is not very easy to blow up a building and make it completely collapse. In addition to requiring a large amount of explosives, you also need to have He has very rich experience in construction and demolition, and the prisoner who planted the bomb undoubtedly has both."
"Then what."
Yakushiji Ryoko pushed aside Muromachi Yukiko and faced Yan Kai face to face.
Yan Kai didn't care who he was explaining to, and continued: "Then, the way of thinking of professionals is actually much easier to understand than that of amateurs. After all, when faced with the same problem, amateurs may make mistakes, and they are wrong. The methods are also very strange, but professionals generally do not make mistakes, their answers and solutions are highly consistent, and their action patterns are often particularly easy to guess."
"And I happen to know a little bit about architecture. With the design drawings, I can roughly predict where the bomb will be placed."
Yan Kai said to Yakushiji Liangzi.
"I just made an estimate based on the design drawings. If I want to completely blow up this building, there are probably seven blasting plans."
"Seven kinds? There are too many. We don't have time to try them all!"
Muromachi Yukiko pushed aside Yakushiji Ryoko and said.
"Please listen to me." Yan Kai signaled Muromachi Yukiko to stop talking, and then continued, "But I am basically sure which type the prisoner used."
"Why?" Muromachi Yukiko frowned, "This knowledge is related to the lives of many people, and you cannot tolerate your nonsense!"
"Of course I have a basis for saying this, because that kind of blasting plan is symmetrical!" Yan Kai gestured with his hands and said, "If you use that kind of blasting plan to blast, the building will eventually turn into two piles. The ruins are even the same height.”
"ah?"
Muromachi Yukiko was stunned.
"Didn't Officer Muromachi just say that the prisoner wanted to blow up his early works because they were not completely symmetrical as he wanted? So, with the prisoner's obsession, if he had a choice, he would The bombed-out building will not be allowed to end up in a completely symmetrical form... what about 'rebirth'?"
Yan Kai asked.
He deliberately used the word "rebirth" because he felt that perhaps for Moritani Teiji, blowing up those "asymmetrical" works and then leaving them into a pile of "symmetrical" ruins was giving them new life.
"hiss……"
Muromachi Yukiko felt chilled after hearing Yan Kai's words, but thinking of Moritani Teiji's madness, she had to admit that what Yan Kai said was very consistent with Moritani Teiji's logic.
"It's certainly possible."
Yakushiji Ryoko pushed aside Muromachi Yukiko and said to Yan Kai: "As far as I know, Moritani Teiji has repeatedly declared in public that architectural designers must take more responsibility for their own works. At that time, everyone thought he was It is a warning to today’s young architectural designers, but now it seems that he was already planning to blow up the unsatisfactory works he designed in his early years.”
Yan Kai looked at Yakushiji Ryoko and Muromachi Yukiko squeezing each other, and wondered if there was any special relationship between the two policewomen, right?
After coughing, Yan Kai reminded the two of them to pay attention to their image, and then said to them: "Anyway, I will be responsible for dismantling the bomb, and the two police officers will rescue people. Is this okay?"
Hearing Yan Kai say that he wanted to find a bomb, Muromachi Yukiko was anxious: "Wait! You, an ordinary citizen, what can you do even if you find a bomb? You don't know how to defuse bombs. If you really know the location of the bomb, point it out to me. I, I will let the people from the explosive ordnance disposal squad defuse the bombs, what you have to do now is to leave this dangerous place quickly!"
"I'm sorry, I refuse. Time waits for no one now. By the time you call the bomb disposal experts, the bombs have exploded countless times. I know where the bombs are placed and I know how to defuse them, so I'll do it. .”
Yan Kai refused directly.
"Can you defuse bombs?"
Muromachi Yukiko was stunned for a moment. It looked like Yan Kai was still a student. Although it was hard to tell whether he was a high school student or a college student, he shouldn't be exposed to professional skills like bomb disposal!
"I know a little bit, my uncle taught me."
Yan Kai nodded.
Yakushiji Ryoko frowned. It wasn't that she didn't believe that Yan Kai could defuse bombs, but Yan Kai said that he was "a little bit good", so why did he look so much like someone she knew?
She had this feeling before when Yan Kai said that he "knows a little" about architecture. Now that Yan Kai said that he "knows a little" about bomb defusing, this feeling is even stronger.
There was another person who had the same feeling as Yakushiji Ryoko. Junichiro Izumida, who was standing behind Yakushiji Ryoko, whispered to her: "Counsellor, how come this young man looks so similar to Teacher Xin when he talks?"
Yakushiji Ryoko nodded incomprehensibly.
She and Junichiro Izumida are both disciples of the Sanji Sect, and their master is the same person, Kitayama Xingyi whose pseudonym is Yokoyama Xingyi. Of course, she also knows Kitayama Xingyi's husband, who is Xue Wenhai.
And Yan Kai's understatement when he said that he "knows a little" and "knows a little" just now is exactly the same as Xue Wenhai.
"Officer Muromachi, please allow me to defuse the bomb."
Yan Kai said to Muromachi Yukiko very seriously.
"But...this...is against the rules..."
The long-standing police regulations do not allow her to involve innocent citizens in danger, but as Yan Kai said, bombs can explode at any time. If you want to save more people, you must have someone who understands architecture and can defuse bombs. People are going to find the bomb hidden in the building and defuse it, but it is not okay to let civilians take the risk, but if Yan Kai is not allowed to go, other people will be in danger...
Muromachi Yukiko's mind fell into chaos, and a burst of white eyes popped out of her head. It was obvious that her brain was overloaded.
For an honest child like her, Yan Kai's proposal was beyond her judgment.
"What a useless thing!"
Yakushiji Ryoko squeezed Muromachi Yukiko away, and then said to Yan Kai: "I allow you to temporarily assist the police, but under protection and supervision, I must follow you!"
Yan Kai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "That's okay, but you have to follow closely. I won't have time to wait for you."
"no problem!"
Yakushiji Ryoko agreed immediately.
What a joke, do you think she is the kind of young lady who doesn’t work hard? Even though she is wearing high heels, she may not run slower than those sprinters!
Yan Kai thought for a while and then said: "By the way, I see you encountered some obstacles on the way. Can I destroy them?"
"This building is about to collapse. Even if it doesn't collapse in the end, it will have to be rebuilt. Why do you still care about this? Why don't you hurry up and move!"
The implication is that Yan Kai can cause destruction at will.
After receiving Yakushiji Ryoko's assurance, Yan Kai smiled: "This makes me feel relieved. Then... Police Officer Yakushiji, please follow me closely!"
After saying that, Yan Kai jumped up, directly punched through the ceiling above his head, and went to the upper floor.
He calculated that one of the bombs was directly above him, and the shortest straight line was between the two points. Now that Yan Kai was in a hurry and had the endorsement of Ryoko Yakushiji, he naturally chose the shortest road.
Yakushiji Ryoko looked at the ceiling about four meters above the ground, glared at Yan Kai who was waving to her from above, and then ran towards the stairs. Junichiro Izumida shook his head and ran with Yakushiji Ryoko.
Muromachi Yukiko pushed back her glasses that had slipped halfway off in fear, swallowed her saliva, and finally remembered that this boy was not the one who subdued the two bank robbers before!
