A white Citroen sedan is parked outside the café near the Yoshioka 2-chome intersection, and the long-haired man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses is sitting in the car, propped himself on the steering wheel with one hand, his fingers tapping rhythmically, and his eyes always fall on the red phone booth not far away.

His name is Toru Takigawa and he is currently an unemployed vagrant. Because he didn't have the money, he made a bomb to threaten the police with a ransom, so his purpose was very pure - he just wanted to spend the whole money.

But for a bomber who threatened the police, what he is doing now can be described as blatant, and he did not choose to observe the transaction location in the dark, but directly parked his car and watched it openly.

"Tetsuya, are we really okay here? The police don't hide somewhere to watch our every move, do they? The man sitting next to Tetsuya Takikawa was wearing a baseball cap, and judging from his face, I didn't know that he would be an honest man who lived diligently, but who would have thought that he was an accomplice of the bombers.

"You can rest assured, Migui, I have a backhand, and our luck is very good." Toru Takikawa also thought of the young man he had just spoken to, and his tone was full of pleasure, obviously very satisfied with the hostage he had sent to the door.

Machida Yaki didn't understand the meaning of his eldest brother's words, he blinked his eyes and said in confusion, "Tetsuya, what does this have to do with our luck?" Speaking of which, I went to the shrine yesterday to draw a lot.,It turned out to be a big murderer.,No good luck at all.。 ”

"The kind of signature at the shrine, you can read it and it's over, today Lady Luck is on our side, otherwise how could you send a young police academy student as a hostage? The police will definitely be afraid of this and will not dare to act lightly. Takigawa Toru also straightened the headset and listened to the conversation from the eavesdropper, and this time the hostages were directly bought one and one free, I really didn't expect that the blonde and black-skinned kid was also quite guts, I'm afraid these two are still excellent students in the police academy, it's really a big profit.

He looked sideways at his good partner, and noticed that Machida Yaki was still nervous, so he had to pull off the earphone cable and directly release what he heard in the bugging.

——

"You said what if the police didn't do what I wanted and the bomber detonated the bomb?" ——

"What else can I do? We don't even have a protective suit on us now, so we must have blown up and there was nothing left. Machida Yaki couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this conversation, he looked sideways at Takigawa Tetsuya, and his tone seemed a little anxious: "Toru Ya, these two people still sound like children, you shouldn't let the child be a hostage, right?!" ”

"What are you doing with such a nervous expression? Don't worry, I won't detonate this bomb, but just pretend to make the police worried, otherwise do you think the police will obediently let us take the ransom? Hearing Toru Takikawa say the same, Machida Yaki also breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he just wanted money, and he didn't want anyone to be hurt or killed because of their actions.

But just as he lifted his watch to check how many minutes were left in the trading time, a cacophony suddenly came from inside the eavesdropping device, and the shouts of one of the teenagers could be heard...... What is this sound?

！

"Toru Ya, what's this sound, could it be that the bomb exploded?!" Machida Yaki's whole emotions tensed, and he couldn't accept it when he thought that someone had died because of their actions.

Toru Takikawa also looked at the mobile phone bound to the bomb and there was no problem, he frowned and said, "I don't know, but this is definitely not an explosion, more like the sound of an elevator falling?" Could it be that what happened to these two boys in the process of climbing the elevator shaft to defuse the bomb? Tsk, bold enough, the previous conversation seems to be a trick. ”

"Huh?" Toru Takikawa also patiently explained what the two hostages had done, apparently their plan was to secretly defuse the bomb and contact the police, so that when they went to the phone booth to collect the ransom, they would be caught in the net.

Machida Yaki's eyes widened and he didn't expect these two police academy students to be so powerful, he looked left and right and fell into a state of suspicion, worried that there were already police officers around.

After all, when facing his own interests, the criminal dressed as an honest man would only look at himself, and he asked in a trembling whisper: "Then, what should we do now?" If you detonate the bomb, there will be no hostages! Toru Takikawa also unhurriedly flicked the bangs in front of his forehead, his eyes that seemed shrewd flashed with confidence, and he played with the mobile phone bound to the bomb while reassuring his accomplice: "I have long considered that the cunning police will arrange for people to sneak into the apartment to defuse the bomb, so I designed two bombs from the beginning. When the police are complacent and the plan is successful, I will detonate the bomb in this café, which is the first stop of our escape route, and as long as it is detonated, it can easily block the road of pursuit, so you don't have to worry, this one will be demolished by them, and it is not a big problem. ”

"Toru Ya, you're really smart, if only I were like you, always holding you back."

"You're my partner, there's no such thing as holding you back, and there's still ten minutes left to trade." Toru Takikawa also reached out and plugged back in the headphones of the eavesdropping equipment, but he didn't continue to listen, whether the bomb was successfully defused or not, and whether the two police students who thought they were smart or not could survive didn't matter to him.

Therefore, there is no need to continue listening, and it is better to deal with the matter at hand. - 14:17 p.m., elevator entrance on the 21st floor of the superior apartment.

Zero finally managed to pry the elevator door open, and he didn't know if it was because he used too much force, or because of the previous bomb, after he heard the sound of some parts falling, he witnessed Fujiwara Yu standing above the elevator falling rapidly.

He put his hands on both sides of the elevator door, lowered his head and shouted at Fujiwara Yo, who was still falling, "Stupid, hurry up and grab the cable!" Fujiwara Yu, who came back to his senses, hurriedly grabbed the broken cable with his bare hands, and the whole person vacated in the elevator shaft, and the elevator fell directly from the twentieth floor to the first floor...... It also shows that if he can't hold on and let go of his right hand, he will unlock the ending of breaking his bones.

"You hold on, I'll go find a rope to pull you up!" ——

"Fujiwara, I'll be back on the 7th of next month, do you have a gift you want?" Thinking of the phone call my father made to me a few days ago, how could I die here without seeing my father?

——

"Then let's leave on the evening of the 7th, shall we? I'm looking forward to what Fujiwara-kun looks like in a police uniform! "I have promised her that I will take her to Dorobika Paradise to play, how can I break my promise...... I haven't confessed to her yet.

Fujiwara Yu gritted his teeth and grabbed the broken cable, the inertia of his body falling made his palm a hot pain, but these are all endurable, because he wants to live, he still has a lot of things to do, so he must be patient.

He kicked his feet to the side, tightened his waist and abdomen, and slowly climbed upward. The sweat on his forehead dripped down his sideburns, and he was swallowed up by the bottomless elevator shaft, and at this time, he could only rely on his own ability and firm will.

"Fujiwara!"

"Catch it!" Fujiwara Yo raised his eyes to look at the rope thrown at him, and he pulled it into it with his left hand, which was the hope of life.

There may be a third option to rely on, and that is the benefit of having friends.
