Xiao Ran carefully looked at the gap at the end of the piano, just below the castanets.
Then he studied the structural diagram of this Steinway triangle, thought for a while, and then said with certainty:
"Marvin, according to the structural diagram of this Steinway triangle, there is a large space in that gap."
"That gap shouldn't exist originally. Since it appears here, it means there is another mystery behind it."
"Use an electric drill to drill a hole near the end of the piano, and then use an endoscope probe to check the situation."
“Be careful when caving and try not to touch anything hidden inside the piano.”
After the words fell, Marvin immediately responded:
"Understood, Sean, we will be careful."
Then, they picked up a hand-held electric drill and began to drill holes in the bottom of the piano.
This is a large Steinway triangle worth about two to three hundred thousand dollars, but it has to drill a hole in the body of the piano.
Seeing this scene, Peggy and the others felt a little sad and felt very sorry.
The next moment, the sound of a hand-held electric drill came out.
In the blink of an eye, Marvin and the others had dug a small exploration hole at the bottom of the piano, just outside the gap.
They were very careful while digging the cave and there were no accidents.
When the sound of the electric drill stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed a lot.
Immediately afterwards, Marvin took the endoscope probe and slowly inserted the probe into the piano along the exploring hole.
As the endoscope probe gradually penetrated deeper, the situation inside the piano also appeared on the large-screen TV at the scene.
Since the top cover of the piano is open and the endoscope probe also has a light, you can still see clearly what's going on inside the piano, but it's just a little dim.
As soon as the endoscope probe entered the piano, a rectangular-shaped object suddenly appeared on the video screen.
That thing was placed inside the cave, less than five centimeters away from the cave.
Immediately afterwards, more of the same objects appeared on the video screen, stacked one on top of another, quite a lot!
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Frank and Scott, as well as the head of the FBI Art Crime Team and the head of the Major Crime Team, all exclaimed in unison.
"Oh my God! Those things are C4 plastic explosives!"
"Farke! This is a huge bomb. It's crazy!"
Because of their profession, these guys naturally recognize the famous C4 explosive.
At the same time, Marvin also gave a positive answer.
"Sean, there is a large amount of C4 plastic explosive hidden in this Steinway piano. It is very powerful."
Not surprisingly, everyone present was shocked.
Peggy and Timothy both looked horrified and even took a few steps back, ready to run away at any moment.
"There are so many C4 explosives hidden in the piano. Miles, this bastard, is simply a lunatic!"
"Fortunately Sean was cautious enough to discover this huge bomb, otherwise we would all be in trouble"
Just when everyone was exclaiming, a smile quickly flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
The next moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Marvin, since these things are C4 explosives, they must have detonating devices."
"You should check the condition of the crack first and see if it can be opened."
"Then find the detonating device and find a way to dismantle it to eliminate safety hazards."
"Understood, Sean, leave it to us."
Marvin responded, then took action and continued to investigate.
At this moment, Frank and Scott said in unison:
"We're going to bring the bomb squad over, Sean, and have them defuse this huge bomb."
Xiao Ran turned to look at them, then nodded and said:
"That's fine. After all, they are professionals and more suitable to perform this task."
"I didn't expect that this guy Miles would be so crazy."
Frank and Scott nodded, then called their men over and whispered a few instructions.
Afterwards, the two senior FBI and police officers left the basement and went out to contact the bomb disposal team.
As soon as they left, Marvin made another discovery.
"Sean, this gap at the bottom of the piano should be a secret door."
"Looking from the inside, as long as you press the secret door upward, it will pop open by itself."
While he was introducing the situation, the internal structure of the gap also appeared on the TV screen.
As he said, it was indeed a very hidden secret door.
Xiao Ran looked at the internal structure of the secret door and made sure there was no danger, then nodded and said:
"You can open the secret door, Marvin, it looks safe in there."
"Just in case, you still have to be careful."
After the words fell, Marvin had already retracted the endoscope probe.
Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the secret door, pressing upward hard.
"Snapped!"
With a soft sound, the secret door opened immediately.
At the bottom of the tail end of the Steinway triangle, a hole 20 centimeters wide and about 30 centimeters long appeared.
Looking in from the hole, one can see a large number of C4 plastic explosives piled together.
The number of those C4 plastic explosives is so creepy and terrifying to look at!
And this is just the C4 plastic explosives around the hole.
Deep inside the grand piano, there was God knows how much C4 explosive, maybe even the entire bottom of the piano.
What’s even more frightening is that everyone also saw the detonating devices of these C4 plastic explosives.
It was an improvised detonation device made from a detonator and a non-intelligent disposable cell phone. It didn't look complicated.
The detonator was inserted into a piece of C4 plastic explosive, and the mobile phone was used to ignite the detonator, which in turn detonated all C4 plastic explosives hidden in the piano.
"hiss!"
There was a gasp of air from the scene, and everyone was startled.
Immediately afterwards, everyone screamed in surprise.
"Oh my God! That bastard Miles is so crazy. Fortunately, he has been killed!"
"There are so many C4 explosives hidden in the piano. It's going to blow everyone and everything up to the sky!"
While exclaiming in exclamation, everyone present had lingering fears!
Yesterday and today, everyone spent a lot of time in this building and searched the music store thoroughly.
During this period, if this terrifying piano bomb explodes at any time, it will instantly blow everyone up into the sky and send them back to their hometowns!
Thinking of this, everyone was terrified and broke into a cold sweat.
Immediately afterwards, everyone thought of another thing and looked at Xiao Ran in unison.
Before they could ask, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Marvin, check the detonating device and see if it can be dismantled."
"Look at the number of C4 explosives hidden inside the piano. Be careful."
Following his instructions, Marvin and the others immediately took action.
The next moment, Frank couldn't wait to ask:
"Sean, at the beginning of the joint operation, you requested to cut off the communication signals of several target buildings. Is it related to this terrifying piano bomb?"
"To be honest, if the communication signal here had not been cut off in advance, there would have been big trouble and heavy casualties!"
"In that case, when Miles was captured yesterday, that bastard might have called immediately to detonate the super bomb and die together!"
"Fortunately, the communication signal here was cut off, so no tragedy occurred."
As he said this, the guy showed a frightened expression.
The rest of the people were the same, Peggy and the others even trembled.
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, then smiled and said:
"The main reason why I requested to cut off the communication signals at several capture locations was to cut off the connection between Miles and McCann and prevent them from informing each other."
"But I never expected that I could actually prevent a violent explosion that would kill both of us. I guess it was a mistake!"
"At first I just thought the placement of this grand piano was a bit strange, but I didn't expect there were so many C4 plastic explosives hidden in it."
"My luck has always been good, and it seems that it will be the same this time. I luckily escaped a fatal crisis!"
"Hahaha"
Elaine and the others all laughed, but there was no trace of fear.
Unlike them, Peggy and the others nodded doubtfully.
As for Frank and Scott, their eyes were full of suspicion.
Obviously, they didn't believe what Xiao Ran said!
luck? Who is so lucky? Even if he is God!
After a pause, Scott was ready to ask.
However, Xiao Ran was ahead.
"Gentlemen, everyone has seen the situation here. It can be said to be very dangerous!"
"For safety reasons, except for the bomb disposal personnel, everyone will leave the music store immediately."
"Other people in this building must also evacuate immediately for their own safety."
"We will return here after this terrifying piano bomb is defused and it is safe."
Naturally, everyone would not object to this proposal and nodded one after another.
Afterwards, everyone prepared to evacuate the music store.
At this moment, Marvin suddenly said:
"Sean, Miles is a layman after all, and the detonation device he set up is quite crude."
"This improvised explosive device is easy to dismantle, we can do it, it doesn't take much effort."
"The amount of C4 plastic explosive hidden in this piano is astonishing. It weighs two to three hundred kilograms and can blow this building into the sky."
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"You just need to find out the detonation device and the number of explosives. Let the FBI or the police bomb squad dismantle the piano bomb!"
"They are professionals in bomb disposal. There is no need for you to take this risk, and it is not appropriate for you to do this!"
"You should also exit here, go outside the music store and wait for the bomb disposal team to come, and then bring them in to defuse the bomb."
"Okay, let's pack the tools now"
Marvin nodded in response and immediately began to pack the endoscope probe and so on.
Afterwards, everyone exited the basement and prepared to leave the music store.
When we went upstairs, everyone was talking with fear.
"Fortunately, the communication signal was cut off during yesterday's operation and the Miles guy was quickly dealt with."
"Miles was killed in the hospital again. There was no chance to make a phone call to detonate the bomb."
"If anything goes wrong in any of these links, as long as that guy Miles has access to the phone, even just once, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Xiao Ran suddenly thought of something and immediately said to Frank and the others:
"Frank, Scott, you'd better notify your men immediately and never let that guy McCann have access to the phone."
"No one knows whether McCann knew the mobile phone number that detonated the piano bomb."
"One more thing, no one can be allowed to have access to Miles and McCann's mobile phones..."
Before they finished speaking, Frank and Scott's faces changed and turned pale.
Immediately afterwards, they quickly took out their mobile phones and started calling their respective subordinates.
