[Sir, the detonation device has been analyzed. The bomb type is TNT. No remote control has been found. The detonator wire is being removed by bypassing the power supply... The line has been cut off. 】
It turned out to be not a remote-controlled bomb, so the signal detected before was just for surveillance?
Ye Geng was multitasking. While communicating with Ye Xiaobai, he told Mu Mu Shisan about the explosion of the Water Tower.
[Sir, as expected, you are right. Since the power supply of the detonator and driving recorder are connected to the car's battery, two unknown electromagnetic signals will be transmitted at the same time only after the starting condition reaches 10 kilometers. , one has completely disappeared, and the other is still being parsed. 】
"Is there any connection record?" Ye Gengyi ignored the flattery and continued to ask.
[Sorry, sir, the producer has a certain programming foundation and has not left traces on the two devices. 】
Well, let’s continue deciphering...
Ye Gengyi responded silently, glanced at the dashboard, and reminded: "Mr. Maoli, drive a little slower, just keep the speed at about 40, there is something wrong with the fuel gauge."
"What?!"
Mouri Kogoro subconsciously lowered his head to confirm, and then was shocked: "What's going on? It's impossible, it was still full when we set off..."
"What's wrong! Brother Maoli, brother Gengyi, what happened to you over there?"
The roar of Menmu Shisan came from the speaker of the mobile phone.
"Police department, calm down..."
After Ye Gengyi said a word of relief, he used the reality that already knew the result to make reverse reasoning without any psychological burden, and said:
"The other party not only blew up the water tower as a warning, but also tampered with the car's fuel tank. I think the ultimate goal was to let Mr. Maori experience the feeling of despair when he was approaching death, but not to leave him alone. There is enough time to escape from the car, so there is a high probability that the bomb installed under the car is not a remote-controlled type, and we will not die in a short time."
There is nothing more torturous than watching the countdown to death reach zero, but being unable to do anything about it.
Well, of course to a certain extent, if the rescue is timely, it can be considered good news...
In the car, Maori Kogoro, Maori Lan and Conan were all silent.
Emmm... The rescuer was asked by the victim to calm down. Brother, you must have been too calm!
On the other side of the phone, Mumu Shisan was obviously speechless.
"cough……"
He thought about it for a moment, swallowed the words of comfort, and said directly: "Um, Brother Gengyi, the rescue operation has been launched, and we will rush to where you are right away..."
"Um……"
Mouri Kogoro took a long breath and actively adjusted his mentality.
After all, if Ye Gengyi's deduction is correct, then the lives of the four people in the car are now in his hands.
"Officer Megure, do you have any clues about the prisoner who planted the bomb?"
"Then let me start from the beginning..." Megure Thirteen said, "Not long ago, a man claiming to be Sugiyama called the Metropolitan Police Department and asked me by name that he wanted to talk to me. He told me that he was in Mori The car that Kogoro rented from Mihua Car Rental Company was equipped with a bomb, although... I think the name the other party reported was a randomly made-up name, but Brother Mouri, do you know a man named Sugiyama?"
"Sugiyama..."
Mouri Kogoro recalled for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He took out the envelope containing the hot spring coupons from his pocket and glanced at the name on it:
"Yes... the person who sent me the hot spring reception ticket is named Sugiyama, but it's really strange. I have no impression of this name at all. Why did he want to kill me?"
"I also asked about the reason... He said that if he killed a famous detective, he would be in the limelight."
Mumu Shisan glanced at the Sekisui Tower outside the window, which was still smoking thickly, and said solemnly: "I originally thought this was someone's prank, but now it seems that it is better for you to follow his instructions first."
"What instructions?" Conan asked hurriedly.
"He asked you to drive onto the highway." Mumu Shisan said.
"On the highway?"
Mouri Kogoro was startled, and said slightly uneasy: "...With the current amount of gasoline, we can't go anywhere. Does that guy want us to die on the way?"
"Brother Maori!" Memu Shisan said solemnly, "Before you further understand the situation, just do what he said..."
"Okay! I understand." Mouri Kogoro nodded.
The prisoner called the Metropolitan Police Department to ask the Memu Police Department to contact us, and now he asked his uncle to drive the car onto the highway. The reason behind this is definitely not as simple as making us feel despair...
Conan frowned in thought.
Suddenly, a slightly heavy "kacha" sound from the front seat of the car brought him back from his thoughts.
Looking around, I saw that the passenger door interior panel had been removed...
"Huh? Saraichi, what are you..." Mouri Kogoro also noticed the movements here, and was obviously a little confused.
"Mr. Mori, drive well."
Ye Gengyi first reminded a tool owner to drive safely, then explained: "The safety lock and lifter have been damaged. It is difficult to repair and it is most efficient to use physical opening. Otherwise, the police will have to break the window to rescue later. It’s not only dangerous, but it’s also too noisy as it keeps banging and banging.”
Too... too noisy?
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Mao Lilan: "..."
Conan raised his hand and pressed the switch in disbelief. Sure enough, the car window showed no response, and then fell into silence.
Ye Gengyi removed the latch very efficiently and tried to open the car door. After confirming that there was no problem, he signaled Mao Lilan and Conan to step aside, stepped to the back seat again, and continued the above-mentioned process of removing the door and unlocking the door. Behavior.
A few minutes later.
"It seems that the bomb is not remote-controlled." He said suddenly.
"Ah?" The other three people in the car were startled again.
Conan was the first to react, but he was still affected by psychological factors and lowered his voice: "Brother Gengyi means that he moved the door open with a large range of motion. If the prisoner has been monitoring us, in order to prevent us from escaping, he should The best thing to do is to detonate the bomb immediately, but it is also possible that the other party did not install a bug or monitor in the car."
"If you have any doubts, let's test it." Ye Gengyi said.
"T-test? How to test..." Conan blinked.
"Hey, idiot, do you dare to detonate it?" Ye Gengyi shouted at a higher volume.
! ? ! ?
Hey hey!
Everyone was shocked, Mouri Kogoro shook his hands, and the steering wheel also floated.
However……
For a few seconds, nothing happened except that the car rocked from side to side.
An expected development... Of course, Ye Gengyi was not simply mocking the prisoners because he had resolved the bomb crisis in advance.
His purpose for doing this is very simple, that is, he wants to stir up the other party's emotions through the surveillance and microphone installed on the driving recorder, so that the prisoner hiding behind who is eager to kill Mouri Kogoro, at least in a short time During this time, you will be angry and angry, and you will not be able to calmly think about your retreat and your own environment.
Ye Gengyi judged that the probability of success for criminals with ordinary provocation tactics was still very high.
After all, if you put yourself in your shoes, you will know that when a person who is about to be killed by you suddenly starts to act arrogantly under your nose because he has found a possible way to escape.
The nature of this explosion will change slightly.
…
"Damn it! I must see these guys die with my own eyes!"
In a room in a three-story apartment.
After listening to Ye Gengyi's mocking provocation in his headphones, Matsugiya Jiro almost grabbed the cup on the side and smashed the computer.
He was angry and helpless at the same time.
Because he did not install a remote-controlled detonation device on the bomb.
"I'm so angry! If I had known earlier, I should have added the detonator in advance. No... If I did that, I would definitely not be able to help but activate the bomb from the beginning. It would be too cheap to let him die like this. I I want to avenge my brother, and let the two men Mouri Kogoro and Megure Shisan who forced his brother to death on the highway pay the price they deserve..."
Matsugiya Jiro took a deep breath and stared at the computer screen with burning eyes.
Above, in addition to the images of Mouri Kogoro and others, there is also a constantly changing road surveillance screen focusing on the car Megure Thirteen is riding in.
He studied programming knowledge abroad for three years just for this day.
Kill the famous detective Mouri Kogoro and let Megure Thirteen see his good friend die in front of his eyes.
He took advantage of the other party's guilty mood to stir up public opinion, and then forced Mu Mu Shisan, who directed the rescue operation, to resign!
Create multiple blows, and finally find another opportunity to kill him too!
