Chapter 32: Two Bombs

Sohime leaned against the gate of the courtyard of the orphanage with a high heel, staring at Saraville who was surrounded by children without saying a word, and shook her long black hair dyed blood red with some impatience.

In the afterglow, she saw a little girl hiding by the fence, different from the clean faces of the children around Shalaville, the little girl in a floral dress had a dirty face, and seemed to be a little timid clinging to the fence, and her big clear eyes stared directly at a beautifully decorated rag doll that Shalaville had taken out of her arms at this time.

For no reason, Sohee frowned slightly, thinking about the strange question that Saraville had just asked the children - if there was a train speeding along the tracks at this time, the train could not cross the track or brake suddenly, and on the track facing the train, a delicate and beautiful rag doll was tied to it, and on the other track, other children from the orphanage were gathering, if you could flip a switch to affect the direction of the train... What will you do at this time?

"Let's go, let's see the time, Suman's side is ready."

At some point, Saraville broke away from the children's surroundings and appeared next to Zonghime, who was thinking about it.

Zongji subconsciously agreed, and then swept Saravel's squinting face with those pale red pupils, and after a slight pause, she bowed down and put on the high heels that were lifted in her hand, and silently followed behind Saraville.

β€œ...”

January 20, 2023, 8:00 a.m., Polish City Police Station.

In Li Xiaonan's anxious pacing, the detectives were late.

Qin was still wearing the same trench coat as before, most of his face was hidden in the shadow of his hat, and he and Gai, who was dressed in a pure black suit, hurriedly approached Li Xiaonan.

Looking at Li Xiaonan, whose head was wrapped in a bandage, for the first time, Gai didn't say a joke, but asked with a serious expression: "What did Saraville say in the video mentioned on the phone." ”

Looking at the familiar old friends, Li Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief: "The 'ancient gods' are also coming soon, let's talk together." ”

As he spoke, two tall and one short figures appeared at the door of the police station, and Tamel wore a loose sportswear for the first time, with a cold temperament like the protagonist in a certain sports comic.

Feng Beifu was still wearing the pitch-black suit, and even in the faint glare of the sun, his face was still extremely pale.

Detective Miya's eyes swept over the explosion scene next to the police station building, and she also realized the seriousness of the incident, she honestly followed behind Tamel and Feng to be buried, and her gloomy little face blended into the solemn atmosphere of everyone.

β€œ...”

"The 'church' greets you..."

With Saraville's farewell, Li Xiaonan turned off the screen of her mobile phone: "The bomb was installed under the police car where I went out last night, so it looks like the police station has suffered a terrorist attack, but in fact, all kinds of equipment inside the building have not been affected or destroyed." ”

"Including the real-time monitoring equipment in the office area, so that video was completely preserved by the internal monitoring equipment of the police station."

As the words fell, Tamel's index finger ran across the bridge of his nose and analyzed, "So Saraville's purpose is to provoke and..."

"Blasting the Tower of Truth?"

"At midnight today," Storm continued, taking Tamel's words, "he's given the full information about one of the bombsβ€”the location and time. ”

"But we don't yet know how the bomb installed in the Tower of Truth will detonate, and we don't know exactly where it was planted." Gai's voice could be heard in the smoke: "The Tower of Truth, a landmark of Poland City, is the only legendary tower named by the legendary detective with an advanced 'S' rank to thank the city of Poland for his help in the detective profession. The total height is 420 meters, a total of 88 floors, and the 80th floor is the visiting area, which records the history of the cooperation between the Polish Municipal Police Department and the detectives in order to chase the truth and fight crime for nearly 20 years. ”

Taking a puff of his cigarette, Gai continued: "Above the 80th floor is a work area, and you need to verify your identity with documents and passes. You will need to transfer from the sightseeing elevator to the internal elevator on the 80th floor to reach it. ”

"It is worth mentioning that it is rumored that the 88th floor of the Tower of Truth was converted into a private residence in anticipation of the return of the S-class detective, where it overlooks the entire city of Poland."

"It's not true, is it?" Jean interrupted Gai's "common sense sharing" at this time: "Five years ago, we successfully climbed to the top of the 'Tower of Truth' and successfully captured the 'Ripper' there. ”

"But it's an unobstructed rooftop, and there's no sign of it being transformed."

Li Xiaonan put his mobile phone in his pocket and said: "The records of the police station do not show that the top floor of the 'Tower of Truth' has been transformed by the Polish City. ”

Gai shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes swept over the people beside him with fierce intent: "So we're going to split up, right?" ”

Li Xiaonan nodded thoughtfully: "The location of the second bomb will be the place where Saraville is located in the video." ”

"Not sure." Tamel replied: "From the perspective of the environment and the point of view, in the video, the place where Shalavel is located is an equally tall bell tower, which is located in an extremely remote location only in the northwest corner of the territory of Poland City. ”

"And if my memory is correct, the bell tower is long abandoned, and there are only a few equally abandoned self-built huts around it, not to mention living there, and very few people even moving around it."

"So I think it's extremely unlikely that a second bomb will be planted there."

Listening to Tamel's analysis, Feng Beifu nodded: "So please listen to my every word, maybe listening carefully, will help you protect your own justice today." ”

He pondered and repeated what Saraville said in the video: "Is his mere reference to the 'Tower of Truth'..."

As he spoke, Feng Beifu said solemnly as if he had made some kind of decision: "Maybe this move will not help, but... I still want to visit the abandoned clock tower myself. ”

"Saraville didn't take this opportunity to plant the bomb inside the police station's building, so that means his purpose was to invite Ananda and us to his 'game'."

"Since it is a game, then the rules of the game must be credible, otherwise there is no point in transmitting the bomb's information to us in this way, and he can directly detonate the 'Tower of Truth' at midnight without anyone knowing."

"So... There must have been only two bombs, and ... There must be some information to find them. ”

β€œ...”

After saying goodbye to the funeral, Li Xiaonan and Tamel once again witnessed the two masters of the "Jinli Piano Company", Qin and Gai, take the initiative to go to the "Tower of Truth" to investigate the location of the bomb.

According to their analysis, if Wind Wait's instinct was correct, most of the information in that video would have been cracked, and they would have gotten the details of the two bombs a few hours later and found them.

"So there's only one last puzzle left." Tamel muttered to himself, "'Your face is the invitation'. ”

"Where exactly did he invite me to meet?" Li Xiaonan fiddled with the mobile phone he took out of his pocket again, speculating on Saraville's words sentence by sentence.

"I invite you to participate in a new game as 'Ji Xia'... Your face is the invitation. ”

Suddenly, Tamel's eyes widened, and as if he thought of something, he snatched the mobile phone that was playing video in Li Xiaonan's hand.

Then he pulled the progress bar back and listened to the passage as he watched the screen.

"The church," Tamel muttered, "and counting the people hiding behind the video camera, there were exactly six of them, and they were seated at the round table, waiting for you." ”

"Polish City Church?" Li Xiao couldn't respond in surprise.

He didn't expect Saraville to be so bold to appear in such a crowded place.

Of course, there are churches in Poland City, which are located near the transportation hub of the whole Poland City, so that the faithful can go to church on certain days of the week or go to the church for prayer on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, today happens to be the day of the week.

"We seem to have been fooled." Li Xiaonan said to Tamel for no reason.

Tamel sighed and replied, "I feel that way too..."

"Maybe the church is where the second bomb was planted..."

Li Xiao looked at Zhao Yinglu, who was reluctant to leave: "You stay at the police station, and after cleaning up the scene of the vehicle explosion, Uncle Zhong and Xiao Xia will cooperate with you to organize the explosion prevention and bomb disposal work, and once the news comes from the two heads of the piano store, you will act immediately." ”

"What about you?" Zhao Yinglu asked rhetorically: "Uncle Zhong can also organize this matter, I will accompany you..."

Looking at Zhao Yinglu's slightly trembling pupils, Li Xiaonan slowly shook his head: "If it's just an invitation, then the two of us can handle it." ”

"One more person here might save more lives."

"Let's go first, if there is an accident, we will contact the police station, but not yet..."

When the words fell, Li Xiaonan and Tamel's backs gradually walked away in Zhao Yinglu's sight.

β€œ...”

"If the police are dispersed or diverted so that the bomb is defused and detonated, then we will lose justice forever."

"I will never be able to forgive myself."
