Time passed minute by minute, and twenty minutes had passed since the entire rice flower bank was cut off from the world, and the robbers finally "revealed" their intention to communicate with the police.

Conan stealthily raised his eyes in the huddled crowd and saw two robbers pushing a man to the roller shutter.

This is the bank's security guard, with round shoulders and bulging muscles tucked into his uniform, his arms firmly tied behind his back with cable ties, and his hand clutching a black "colored" walkie-talkie that the robbers have stuffed in.

The signal of the mobile phone is blocked, and this is necessary for long-distance communication.

The robber lifted the roller shutter door half a meter and kicked the security guard out.

As soon as the roller shutter door was raised, the siren suddenly became much clearer, and the negotiator stood on the roof of the car, shouting with a horn in vain. The robbers didn't know anything about the tricks that moved them, and the security door rolled out sideways, and immediately put the door back down.

Seeing that one of the hostages was released, the atmosphere of the crowd was much more relaxed.

The mother bent down and comforted her child softly, and a cold sweat slowly ran down Conan's cheeks.

On the surface, the robbers' willingness to communicate with the police is a sign that the situation is improving.

But this freed hostage is the only security guard of the bank, not only is he strong, but he also carries essential weapons such as electric batons; If he keeps mixing in the hostage pile, he may not be able to break the cable tie with his own strength, or even subdue them in turn.

The robber security guards let go, in fact, the potential threat of the security guards was removed, and the hostages lost their sheep and did not dare to resist.

Moreover, because the robbers "seemed" to be willing to resolve this conflict through communication and negotiation, the police mobile team did not dare to attack rashly and act rashly!

This is actually a very smart way to buy more time for the robbers.

- The only question is, what are they delaying for so long?

The robbers asked the governor to pack the cash box alone, assuming that the delay was to carry more cash, which contradicted the behavior.

Conan's mind was thinking.

The robbers' approach showed two diametrically opposed aims, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were at odds with each other. But the division of labor among these five people is extremely accurate, and the progress of various tasks is actually orderly, and this kind of fragmented performance makes him faintly uneasy.

At this time, there was a commotion not far behind him, it was the two robbers who were in charge of collecting the mobile phone, they walked to the front of Scar Akai, but the latter did not hand over the mobile phone.

"Be careful, huh?"

The man who has the sack will go up and kick him. Scar Akai easily avoided the wind in his legs, pointed his right hand at his throat, and shook his hand.

"Wow, this is a dumb man!"

Seeing the scar, Akai obediently stretched out his hands to tie himself up, and the two robbers did not pursue it further.

As he left, the one who was carrying the sack kicked him coldly, and Scar Akai was kicked to the ground. Seeing him struggling in embarrassment, he smiled and walked towards someone.

Because of this movement, the leader with the gun turned vigilantly and walked over.

As the distance closed, Conan took the opportunity to see that what he was holding in his other hand was a remote control.

Conan was stunned.

After discovering the robber's suspicions, countless conjectures appeared in his heart, and now, the worst may happen.

The governor filled one cash box here, knelt on the ground, and opened the other, and Conan on the ground writhed and stood up slightly.

Thanks to the fact that he wanted to test the scar Akai before, he deliberately took a few steps, and now when he lifted it, he immediately saw what was in the empty cash box.

Conan finally saw what he had guessed: a bomb!

A hurried glance was not enough for him to distinguish the type and power of the bomb, and saw that the electronic screen on it was extinguished, and if there was a timed detonation device, then it was not turned on now.

Without waiting for Conan to think about it, the leader had already noticed his twisted small movements, and in a second, the muzzle of the black hole hole hit him!

"Imp," said a hoarse voice at the voice changer, "what are you doing?" ”

Conan's cold sweat came, and the innocence of a child was the most cover, and he immediately wrinkled his face, pretending to be ignorant of the world, and was aggrieved

Crying, "I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to go to the toilet—"

Scar Akai rolled on the ground, and at the same time stood up, leading the person to sink and immediately turn the muzzle of the gun to him.

The man pretended to be dumb and pretended to be presentable, and pointed to the bathroom behind him, and then to Conan, meaning to go together.

A little ghost, a mute, had to be tied up firmly, and it didn't look like there was any threat.

The robber with the sack collected his phone and turned it back just then. He patted the leader grinningly and said with a smile: "Old, you just let them go, anyway, ......"

He shrugged.

"You can't be satisfied with this little wish, right?"

Conan didn't understand the robber's riddle, but instinctively felt uncomfortable with this attitude. They said in a tone of voice, as if they had the right to kill and take the hostages, as if these living people were ants, whether to pinch them to death or not, in the robbers' thoughts.

…… Wait a minute.

Conan's mind was illuminated by lightning, and at the end of his life, he suddenly figured out the robber's unfinished words, and what he didn't finish was exactly: "I'm going to die anyway"!

Why do you want to release the hostages and deal with the police, but also let a bank governor carry cash?

Why is it possible to detonate a bomb by remote control and add a timer device?

Unless, the robbers really want to detonate the bombs.

The release of the hostages, the cash-carrying governor, and even the chartered car parked at the door are all pretense for the robbers to stall for time, the remote control fails when the distance is extended, and the timing detonation device of the bomb is to give the robbers enough time to escape the scene before exploding.

-- There are hostages in the building, the mobile team does not dare to break into the building easily, and the negotiators go into battle, so that the time drags on even longer, so long that the robbers escape, the people go to the building, and the bombs left in the hall explode again, and the entire police force in Tokyo is left and right for this!

Conan's expression was serious, there were hundreds of hostages trapped in the Rice Flower Bank, and he would not allow the robbers' plot to succeed.

His detective group badge was open, and Yu Karasawa, who was in the bathroom, must have heard the movement in the hall. The situation has not reached the point of exhaustion, and if the robbers are separated, they can be broken one by one.

The two robbers who collected the mobile phone turned around and discussed with the team leader for a while, and the three of them came out with a robber and bowed to Conan and Scar Akai.

"Let's go."

The robbery of the Rice Flower Bank brought about a sensational social impact.

It is run by the Manomiya Foundation, one of Japan's most famous and wealthy companies, and has been inseparable from Japan's history and society since its reign.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar, and the Metropolitan Police Department surrounded the building of the Rice Flower Bank, and the media who heard the news blocked the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Now I can see that behind me is the Rice Flower Bank, and according to rough estimates, there are about 100 hostages trapped in it......"

Before the female anchor finished reading the script, the crowd suddenly erupted into an exclamation, and some of them rushed forward like crazy, and she staggered a few steps by pushing.

The live broadcast mirror in front of her faithfully recorded her performance: sensing that the situation had changed, the female anchor immediately turned around, the fingertip shutter door opened a small slit, and a middle-aged man rolled out!

"- The robbers released the hostages! Does this mean that they are willing to negotiate with the police? What about the rest of the trapped people? The female anchor's tone was abrupt, and she was so surprised that she almost broke her voice, and then she remembered that there was such a thing as a live broadcast, and hurriedly turned to the mirror and said, "Please continue to pay attention to the follow-up report of the daily sales TV station!" ”

Several heavily armed mobile team SWAT officers, the security guards on the ground helped them back, the mirror clearly photographed the walkie-talkie in his hand, and a group of negotiators rushed to the scene.

Behind the human wall, Date stood in the ranks of the police, frowning.

In such an incident, it is impossible for there to be a mobile team at the scene, the Ministry of Communications pulled up a traffic blockade, the criminal police maintained order at the scene, the police contacted the family, and the only one who was not there was Tang Zeyu.

In the past, some media rushed to him one after another, and the latter used skillful Tai Chi skills to fool the news.

Without Tang Zeyu, the media would be better off by reporters

went into battle in person, and the field was said to be "chaotic", and there were all kinds of outrageous reports.

In the chaos, they not only have to stop reporters, but also refute fake news at all times, one more than two.

Even if there was no mobile phone, Tang Zeyu, who saw the report, came as soon as possible, but half an hour passed, and there was no shadow of him at the scene.

Ita Hang frowned and thought: It can't be that Yu Tang Ze is in the Rice Flower Bank, right?

With such a guess, he consciously looked ahead.

The flickering lightbox signboard of the Rice Flower Bank fell into the eyes of Date Airlines.

Is it a lack of electricity?

This kind of decorative lamp is generally powered by a separate line independently, and the lighting circuit area in the building is open, even if the rice bank is cut off, the light box will not be extinguished.

A similar scene almost coincided with a certain scene in his memory, and Date Hang's lips twitched, and his consciousness translated the flickering frequency as Morse code.

He had been squinting nonchalantly

, There are more and more translated messages, but the eyes are getting wider and wider, and when the code starts a cycle, Date Airlines rushed to the commander-in-chief present!

“…… Five million gold in cash and a car. Okay, okay, we, the police are ready immediately, please give us a while, we will try our best to meet any requirements, please don't hurt the hostages of the building......"

The commander-in-chief was standing with the negotiators, signing to coordinate the terms of the negotiations, and Date Hang grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out.

Without waiting for the commander-in-chief to speak, Date lowered his voice and gritted his teeth at a volume that could not be heard on the walkie-talkie: "We can't delay any longer!" ”

"These grandsons are not here to rob the bank at all, their fundamental purpose is to detonate the bomb of the hand!"

The commander's angry expression froze: "How do you know?" ”

"Look at the light box."

Date Hang slipped his collar and twisted the person, "Hiroshi Karasawa is here." In the past, when we encountered a robbery at the convenience store in front of the police academy, we used this to call for help! ”

The frequency of the light was also reflected in the slightly dazed pupils of the commander. In a second, the commander twisted and ordered: "Come here - the sooner the better!" ”

He no longer bothered with Date Airlines' impatient faux pas, straightened his collar, and walked back to the group of negotiators, his fingers flipping, and he made another sign language.

Someone nodded solemnly.

At this time, Tang Zeyu had already led the three members of the junior detective group and sneaked to the distribution box.

"The robbers blocked the signal, and wanted to tell the police that there was a bomb and could use the way of lights."

Tang Zeyu "touched" a screwdriver, and divided three or five by two to remove the board of the distribution box. The switches were horizontal and vertical, and there was not even a label, and the young detective group turned their mosquito coil eyes one after another.

It was a utility room at the edge of the hallway, and the cleaner's brooms and buckets were piled up in the doorway, and the four of them had to work hard to keep the door from making a sound.

The dust is enough to choke a person upside down, and it is pitch black, and there is no light to see.

Mitsuhiko turned on the purple thread lamp on the keychain, and in the faint light, Tang Zeyu squinted, and quickly picked out a small black switch.

"The robbers are all in the hall on the first floor, and you can't see the change in the light box. This kind of light box is always on, and the power supply circuit is independent of the main switch, you see. ”

He flicked the switch, and he was so frightened that he almost screamed.

"Karasawa Police Department! If the switch is wrong, we're all exposed! She reminded in a whispered voice.

Tang Zeyu smiled gently: "Not bad." ”

He flipped the switch back into place.

"Do you know Morse code?"

"I know!" Mitsuhiko raised his hand, and he flipped out the small notebook he carried with him, one of which was a comparison table of Morse code.

"It's amazing." Tang Zeyu praised sincerely, leaned over and patted Mitsuhiko on the shoulder: "Then I will give you this task." With this light, can you use Morse code for the police? ”

"Say there's a bomb?" Mitsuhiko said, "No problem! ”

The serious entrustment from the people made his face flush with pride

Finish. Bu asked in a low voice: "Tang Ze Police Department, what about us?" ”

"Step, you help Mitsuhiko to light, and if he dials the wrong one, remind him. Yuantai, you have the most strength, once you block the door, don't let any bad people in. May I? ”

The three of them nodded vigorously, and Yuan Tai was a little apprehensive: "Have we been discovered by the bad guys?" ”

Tang Zeyu paused: "This is the worst-case scenario. ”

He was in a half-squatting position, but his hands were propped up on the shoulders of Mitsuhiko and Motota, and his serious gaze fell on them.

"I'll leave this work to you, don't worry, with me, nothing will happen."

After arranging the tasks of the junior detective group, Tang Zeyu straightened up.

With badges, comics, and original memories in hand, he is undoubtedly the one who has the most information on the field. The incident has developed to the present, and the cause and ins and outs have been basically understood.

The robbers of a group of five people did not want to rob the cash at the bank counter at all, because their existence was some kind of more covert criminal action, placed under the umbrella.

As a target for firepower, the robbers' sole purpose was to attract the attention of the police, and as many police officers dragged them here.

It's not difficult to control them, these people don't have professional mercenaries or killers, the only tricky thing is the guns in their hands, just like Conan's thinking, to spread them out and break them one by one.

The badge of the detective regiment was sent to the hall on the first floor, and the robber's hoarse and ugly voice said: "...... Walk. ”

Tang Zeyu turned around and wanted to leave the utility room, Mitsuhiko's purple line lamp was too dim, and he couldn't see his five fingers when he opened half a meter, Tang Zeyu walked to the door in the direction of memory, but his breathing became more and more tight.

…… What's going on?

This seems to be his instinctive reaction, since Tang Zeyu woke up from amnesia, it was the first time in such a dark and closed environment, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

But the body's reaction was uncontrollable, the skin was cold from the inside, and the heartbeat gradually accelerated in the chest, and then, Tang Zeyu seemed to have passed through a pool of cold water, and the coldness that rushed made him shiver!

The outstretched right hand had already put on the doorknob, but the weight of the support was suddenly empty in an instant.

Not only the doorknob, but the entire door and the entire utility room disappeared out of thin air!

Tang Zeyu's whole body was cold, his whole body was shivering, and for a few short seconds, his brain was almost stagnant; The sharp tinnitus that resounded in his ears briefly drowned out all the trivial noises in the world, and then he realized that it was not only his thoughts, but he even stopped breathing for a short time, and Yuki Tachizawa, who realized this, gasped hard, and the long-lasting smell of dust came from the tip of his nose.

The tinnitus of Lang Chao gradually subsided, and another voice rang out, saying:

“…… Robbing a convenience store is too bad, if you want to rob it, go to rob the Rice Flower Bank - take a few people in front of you as a cover, and the rest will dig through the underground vault, and finally run through the drainage pipes. ”

Tang Zeyu's rusty and dull thoughts jumped, and he thought: Who is this?

Then he realized that the voice was himself.

[New permission unlock detected - read memory, keyword: [Lightbox].] The electronic tone of 73 sounded faintly, [...... Delivered. Host, I didn't stop the system. 】

Yu Karasawa: [......]

73: [I can guarantee that this time the memory is retraced, and the time of the realm will not move!] 】

Tang Zeyu was silent. 73's electronic tone stopped, and then he shouted out with enough strength: [Skipping the selection of whether to transmit or not, there is a three-second buffer time!] 】

Tang Zeyu controlled his five fingers into a fist, and reacted to his body, but it was a twitch of his index finger.

He finally exhaled: "Okay. 】

…… It's all coming, and the time doesn't change anyway.

The overwhelming cold feeling has passed, and the temperature remaining on the body is a little hot. He felt that his five senses were returning, and his senses of smell, hearing, and touch were all slowly resuming their function, and it was still pitch black in front of him.

When is this backtrack?

The key word of [light box] reminded him of a plot in the police academy, and the warehouse behind the convenience store was indeed missing in the middle of the night.

Karazawa

Yu has a feeling that this time he should be able to take back control of his body, as evidenced by the trembling of his fingers.

"The alarm system of the vault is turned on at night to the time when the robbery should be in the day, when the bank is about to close for business. If you can hold the police for two hours, you can take 100 million yen for the sake of conservatism—"

His voice didn't stop, Tang Zeyu counted down in his heart, patiently waiting for the buffer time to pass.

"A convenience store, at its best, has 300,000 yen, and they want to kill all the hostages. What's the picture? ”

The sound finally stopped, and Tang Zeyu realized that he should have returned to this time, and his nails pierced the flesh, causing a slight pain.

One second.

The clenched right fist, the wrist was stretched out from behind, and another hotter and more powerful hand was firmly grasped.

“…… Are you afraid of the dark? ”

It was the voice of Falling Valley Zero, who paused for a moment and said, "Don't worry, don't be afraid." ”

What was just said to the Young Detective Corps was said to himself through the mouth of another person; Tang Zeyu felt a strange sense of error in his heart.

To alleviate this surprise, he turned in the direction of the source of the sound.

The eyes, which gradually adapted to the light, slowly saw more details, and the darkness came to the fore.

It was a dusty warehouse, with a few people sitting scattered on the floor, their hands fixed behind their backs. In the whole space, the only two people who can move freely are him and Falling Valley Zero; The latter was standing in front of a wall, and with a flick of metal, it seemed as if a screw had rolled to the ground.

Drop Valley Zero bent down, unloaded the distribution box cover, and carefully leaned against the wall.

From beginning to end, he has been firmly grasping Tang Zeyu's hand, he seems to be holding something, and his voice is a little slurred:

"With me, nothing will happen."
