Many people were trapped in the rubble, most of them couples, including Xiaolan.
Several girls couldn't help crying, but at this time, Xiaolan was unusually calm and strong and said, "It's okay." β
Then, with a resolute look in her eyes, she comforted, "Someone will come to our rescue soon." β
"Suzu-"
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Xiaolan's expression changed, and she quickly grabbed the phone and asked, "Hey, who is it?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone for a long time, it was Shinichi.
"Hey, Lan?"
"Shinichi?"
"Great. β
Along the way, using the little girl's small body to run over, the body was very tired, Ke Lan panted with a voice changer and said: "Fortunately, the phone line has not been broken, Lan ......"
"What are you doing?" Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaolan's tears finally fell uncontrollably, and she asked loudly: "Why are you always absent when the most important time? Do you know how much I'm suffering now......"
Listening to Xiaolan's complaints, Ke Lan was silent.
Yes, I remembered that when Xiaolan was lonely and helpless, I didn't show up by her side.
When Xiaolan was in danger, he didn't appear by her side for the first time.
Her helplessness,
Her fears,
Her thoughts,
Can you feel it?
She's just a kind girl who wants others to protect her!
At this moment, Ke Lan's heart ached faintly.
After being silent for a few seconds, Ke Lan said in a gentle tone, "Lan, I know everything. β
"Emergency exit..... Blocked by rubble, I'm at the exit now. I would have liked... Once I got here, I could find a way to get in through the cracks in the rubble, but the force of the bomb explosion deformed the whole door, and I couldn't open it. Ke Lan continued to gasp.
Xiaolan, who had calmed down, was slightly stunned when she heard Shinichi's words, and hurriedly looked towards the exit, and sure enough, there was a deformed door over there.
"By the way, Lan, are there any suspicious items like briefcases or suitcases in the hall?"
Ke Lan is trapped in the collapsed rubble, and this is when she asks his girlfriend who is only a wall away from her as Shinichi.
"Suspicious item?"
Xiao Lan was a little confused, and after looking around, she found a pink paper bag, brought it to the counter, and connected the phone.
"I don't know what, it's a heavy and big bag, and there is something in it that keeps time like an electronic watch. β
"Be careful, it's a bomb!" Ke Lan reminded eagerly.
"Bomb?!" Xiaolan's face changed, and as soon as the words fell, the people around her hurriedly scattered and fled.
"Damn Professor! Lan, how many minutes are left?" Ke Lan was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked.
"42 minutes and 7 seconds. β
"There are still 42 minutes," Ke Lan said, looking at his watch, "so the time of the explosion is 0.03 minutes." β
Suddenly, Ke Lan remembered that Teiji Moriya had said that he had reserved 3 minutes for himself too much, what did that mean?
Outside the town hall.
"How's it going?" Officer Twilight asked a firefighter with concern
"No, the passage is all blocked by rubble. It may take some time to think about the fifth floor hall where the trapped people are. The other shook his head and replied.
"Ran......" Maori looked at the floor where Ran was trapped, praying in his heart.
"Eighteen minutes, there's no time. Ke Lan waited anxiously for a while, did not wait for rescue, and looked at his watch again.
"Xiaolan, do you have scissors with you?" Ke Lan asked as he picked up the phone.
"I have a small pair of scissors in my sewing kit. Shinichi, what do you want scissors for?" Xiaolan said puzzled.
"I want you to defuse the bomb with that pair of scissors now. β
Xiaolan was stunned.
Can I defuse a bomb alone?
"Lan, do as I say. Shinichi's whisper gave Xiaolan great courage.
"Well, but I can't do things while listening to the phone. Well, I'll move to you. β
"Don't move, I'll take a look......" Ke Lan was startled, looked at the bomb design in his hand, and then said with confidence: "It's okay, there is no vibration sensing device, come here!"
Walking to the blocked door, Xiaolan and Shinichi were only separated by a door.
The two seemed to hear each other's heartbeats.
Xiaolan gently tore the paper bag and took out the scissors from the bag.
"Ready, Shinichi!"
Ran then followed Shinichi's instructions and gently opened the top lid of the bomb.
"It's time to start cutting the wires, don't get the order wrong. Ke Lan reminded.
Xiaolan nodded solemnly and began to cut the first wire as Shinichi had ordered.
Time passed minute by minute, and there were only 5 minutes left before the explosion
"Cut? It seems that it is still too late. Just cut the remaining black thread and you're good to go. Ke Lan held his breath and waited quietly.
Xiaolan nodded and cut the black thread, but the timer was still changing.
"Shinichi, I cut the black line. But--the timer didn't stop!" Xiaolan looked at the timer that didn't stop, and her heart was extremely nervous.
"What, how is it possible? It's already on the drawings...."Ke Lan said in surprise.
"And there are two more threads that have not been cut," Xiao Lan paused, and continued, "one is red, and the other is blue. β
"Could it beβ" A cold sweat broke out on Ke Lan's back, "Could it be that Professor Moriya deliberately didn't draw these two lines on the map?"
It's only been 4 minutes!!
There are two more wires in the detonator, one red and one blue.
Ke Lan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and it suddenly occurred to him that in order to deceive himself, Teiji Moriya deliberately did not draw the last 2 lines on the drawing.
"What should I do, do you have to cut both of them?" Xiao Lan's anxious voice came.
"No!" shouted Ke Lan, "one of them is a real detonation wire, and if we cut it, we will be crushed!"
"What can I do about this, it's only been 3 minutes" Xiaolan heard this, and her expression was extremely frightened.
Ke Lan, who was separated by a door, was in a cold sweat on his forehead, holding the design diagram tightly, and his mind was thinking rapidly.
At this moment, she felt like she was going crazy.
"Which one, red or blue?"
What to do?
Life and death.
between the lines.
Ke Lan is hesitating, fearing, silent, thinking.
There are less than three minutes left.
Ding~dang~dang~!
The clock struck midnight.
Everything seems to be still, silently enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Ke Lan held the design in his hand tightly, hoping to find the answer.
She doesn't know the answer yet?
Because there is no answer above either.
Xiaolan's voice came from behind the door.
"Shinichi?!"
"Huh?"
"HAPPYBIRTHDAY, Shinichi. β
Xiaolan ignored the bomb and sat on the ground with her back against the door, muttering, "Shinichi, I think maybe I won't be able to say this to you again." β
With a "boom", it collapsed again.
"Lan!" the drawing fell to the ground, and Ke Lan also leaned against the door.
The two men sat with their backs to the door, both exhausted.
Separated by a door, cutting off each other's sights, and separating this leisurely feeling.
"Cut it. Ke Lan was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke, "Lan, cut your favorite color." β
Lan asked suspiciously, "But, what if I cut it wrong?"
"If you cut it wrong, you cut it wrong," Ke Lan said lightly: "Anyway, when the timer time is up, the bomb will still explode." In that case, cut the color you like. β
"But ......"
"You don't have to worry, Ran. Ke Lan suddenly raised his head and promised gently: "If you really can't hide, I will always be here with you." β
If we can't live together, let's die together.
Tears fell silently, Xiaolan smiled and said, "Shinichi, you are so stupid!"
......
The top began to collapse again, Ke Lan and Xiao Lan avoided the boulder respectively, and Conan's new mobile phone was also smashed, and the sound between them could no longer be heard.
At this time, the rescuers finally opened the passage and found Ke Lan.
"Little girl, hurry up and get out of here, it's about to explode, it's dangerous here!"
How can you leave Xiaolan behind?
Inadvertently, Ke Lan remembered Professor Moriya's words, "Let him taste that taste." β
It turned out that he asked me to have a good taste of my birthday in three minutes!
Wait, I remember Ran saying to Professor Moriya at the tea party that day...... Oops!!
"Ranβ"
Ignoring the rescuers' obstruction, Ke Lan banged the deformed door.
"Don't cut the red ones! Red is a trap!
Xiaolan sat in the distance, and couldn't hear Shinichi or Ke Lan's shouts at all.
Ke Lan was carried out by the rescuers.
"Goodbye, Shinichi. Lan closed her eyes and cut the threadβthe blue thread.
The timer stops at 00:02.
Time passed, and the expected explosion did not happen.
The crowd outside erupted in loud cheers.
At this time, Emperor Moriya was dumbfounded.
"How is it possible? My plan is foolproof, impossible."
"Foolproof, are you stupid? I can't see through such a simple strategy, how can I get mixed up in the detective world in the future?" Kogoro sneered at him.
The explosion did not happen, and everyone was relieved.
At this time, countless reporters flocked to him, and Kogoro Mori immediately began his official speech and the like.
After Xiaolan in the crowd was rescued, she was looking for Shinichi's figure everywhere, and suddenly saw Ke Lan who was in a mess.
"Ke Lan, you're also worried about me coming, right?" Xiao Lan blinked her eyes and said strangely, "What's the matter with this injury on your body?"
"Well, I accidentally fell just now, hehe~!" Ke Lan scratched his head and explained.
Xiaolan bent down, looked at her, and told her to be careful in the future.
"Did you see Shinichi?"
"It's strange, he was still here just now," Ke Lan pretended to be stunned.
"It's easy for people to buy gifts for him. Lan was annoyed.
"That, Brother Shinichi has always thought it is incredible" Ke Lan's dirty little face showed a trace of embarrassment, and then asked Xiaolan suspiciously: "He thought that Sister Xiaolan would definitely cut the red thread, but Sister Xiaolan, why did you cut the blue instead of the red?"
Xiaolan obviously likes red, but she cut the blue thread and saved everyone in the building. Ke Lan was very puzzled, thinking that she would definitely cut the red one.
"Because..... I don't want to cut it off. Xiaolan said, stretched out her little finger, and said happily: "That red wire, maybe it's the red thread that ties me and Shinichi!"
Xiaolan...~!
Ke Lan looked at the bright smile on Hao Xiaolan's face, and a warm current entered his heart, and I will protect this smile.
