If the opponent is really the bomber who killed Matsuda Jinpei last time, that person is likely to repeat the old trick and turn this elevator into a cruel choice field, an iron coffin.

The Twilight Police Department also knew the seriousness of the problem, and he just used the way he thought it would be effective to help his subordinates adjust their mentality, and then quickly returned to the topic: "The bomb was in the elevator?" ”

"Not there." Miwako Sato had long been aware of suspicious objects, but the elevator compartment was empty and there was nothing, "If there is a bomb here, it must be in the elevator passage, or on the top of the elevator." ”

Sato happened to be standing against the wall at this time, and when she said that the top of the elevator was over, she turned around to observe the situation above.

As a result, when I turned around, I was shocked to find that Matsuda was gone, but two legs were hanging down from the top of my head.

When talking on the phone, people always think a little slower than usual.

This strange situation made Sato's brain buzz, and all kinds of ghost stories such as "elevator ghosts", "hanged people", and "bloody thighs" flickered like lights.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed the ankle of one of her legs, and her first reaction was to pick this thing off first, and smash it to the ground a few times, so that both ghosts and monsters would have to show her original form......

But before she could exert herself, the leg she was holding back a little, and Matsuda leaned down from the top of the elevator to show his face, looking at her suspiciously.

Sato and the owner of the face looked at each other for a moment, and then realized that it was Matsuda who lifted the roof of the elevator and climbed up at some point, and he probably also found that there was no bomb inside the elevator, so he wanted to see the situation above.

“……”

Miwako Sato withdrew her hand with a slight weakness, and cleared her throat in the other party's slightly condemning gaze: "Cough, I'm afraid you'll fall, help you hold on...... That, can you see suspicious explosives on it? ”

Originally, she thought the answer was no, because Matsuda seemed to be emotionally stable, and he seemed to be more concerned about the leg he had just been grabbed than the situation at the top of the elevator—not the condition of a man who suddenly found himself trapped with a bomb.

Soon, though, Sato was disappointed.

She saw Matsuda nod.

And then, probably because his voice wasn't good today, he typed a line on his phone and handed it to her: [The mercury rod has started working, don't move it.] ]

Mercury rod ...... Officer Sato's pupils shrank suddenly.

Needless to explain, it's not the first time she's heard the word.

Three years ago, Matsuda Jinpei's voice seemed to echo in his ears again: "It's a mercury rod." As soon as it vibrates slightly, the beads inside will roll, and once it touches the line, I'm done playing......"

It's a similar situation today.

…… Sure enough, it was the same bomber.

Sato's face was ugly and he realized that there was a mercury pole, and even if the rescue team arrived, he would not be able to rescue them.

Now the elevator is stuck between two buildings, and when the elevator is restarted, it will inevitably cause a certain degree of vibration.

And if the elevator is not moved, and the rescue team is only allowed to go down the rope to the top of the elevator to save people, there will be a vibration the moment they hit the ground. Similarly, if Sato wants to climb out of the elevator from the elevator compartment, it will still cause vibrations.

The only good news is that Matsuda is now on top of the elevator and doesn't need to climb extra, so he can let the rescue team hang down a rope and pull him out of the way...... Well? Wait a minute.

Sato wondered: "Is there really a mercury rod?" So how did you get there? ”

As a rule of thumb, the mercury rod should have been opened after the small explosion just now, when Matsuda was still standing in the elevator......

Clicks–

Overhead, there was the sound of a camera taking pictures, and the flash flashed.

Matsuda filmed the scene at the top of the elevator and handed her his phone to show her.

On the screen is a large bomb with an LCD screen showing a countdown, and indeed a mercury rod next to it.

"......" Miwako Sato thought about it for a while, and found that when she called just now, she really didn't hear or feel Matsuda's movement climbing the elevator...... So good?

She substituted herself again, and found that she would never be able to climb to the top so easily, so she couldn't help but ponder, did she disgrace the police team by doing this......

The Twilight Police Department also learned about the situation in the elevator, realized that the situation was serious, and contacted various departments to start responding.

The residents around the Dongdu Tower were evacuated one after another, and the explosives disposal team also came to the vicinity of the elevator with tools.

At this time, Conan, who was with Takagi, also discovered that the Toto Tower was very similar to the location suggested in the gangster's "invitation".

The two arrived quickly, but were stopped and prevented from entering.

In the end, he relied on Takagi to brush his face and swipe his card, and came all the way to Twilight: "Police Department!" What's going on now? Hear the news that someone is trapped in an elevator? Can I help? ”

Twilight glanced at Takagi and didn't say much, just asked him to follow a team of police officers to the Eastern Capital Tower to look for the people who had not yet evacuated.

Takagi didn't think much about it, and left very obediently.

But the giveaway he brought with him stayed.

Conan always felt that the Twilight Police Department looked a little strange.

He looked around, but didn't see Miwako Sato, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "The person trapped in the elevator shouldn't be Officer Sato." "Otherwise, Sato is so concerned about the bombing, it should appear......

The Twilight Police Department looked at him and sighed, and became a qualified intelligence machine again:

"It's Sato and Matsuda. Rescuers can't get into the elevator at the moment, but don't worry, they'll use ropes to hoist bomb disposal tools into them. When the bomb is defused, the elevator can be broken to rescue. ”…… The premise is that the gangsters do not set the trap of exchanging their lives for intelligence.

Conan was stunned when he listened: "Matsuda? ”

Yesterday, he heard from a female policeman who loves to gossip about the cause of the bombing three years ago, and he also knew that "Matsuda" was a police officer who had died in the line of duty.

…… So yesterday he misheard? Matsuda didn't actually die?

Or is there two police officers with the surname Matsuda in the search lesson?

Twilight was stunned when she saw him, and understood what Conan was thinking, explaining, "It's not Matsuda, it's his brother, although his brother didn't go to the police academy, but he seems to be ......"

Twilight paused: "It seems to be self-taught, anyway, there should be no problem with his bomb disposal skills, and they will be safe." ”

"Oh......" Conan's heart jumped.

He suddenly remembered that when Takagi was on a mission before, he once wore a pair of curly hair and a pair of sunglasses in order to disguise, and then he was slapped by Sato...... It is said that it is because the outfit looks too much like Matsuda.

At that time, Conan didn't understand the love and hatred of the officers, but a thought flashed slightly—Takagi's dress was a bit like a black cat, and his wave ...... Corn vest.
