Chapter 271 - Elevator Bomb
The auxiliary unit gave the bomb warning again, but this time the alarm was very vague both in distance and direction - the shock wave of the explosion had been severely refracted after entering the elevator car, and it was difficult to reinterpret its initial direction from the signal coming from the surface.
The elevator car stopped in mid-air after a screeching grinding sound, and the elevator lights went out.
"What's going on?" Gray Yuan said in surprise.
"I want to kill those cops who check to see if there's a bomb here!" Qian Yu gritted his teeth. "This must be the bomb of that attacker!"
"But why bomb us?" Gray Yuan Wai illuminated the car with the screen of his mobile phone. "I thought the attackers were targeting the police!"
"Do you think the police won't come after the explosion?" Qianyu's face was gloomy. "But the question is, how did this bomb evade the police?"
"Let's talk to Officer Twilight first," Gray Hara glanced at the signal on his phone. "Ahh Sure enough, you can't expect the elevator to have a mobile phone signal. β
"Let's call the police first... Qian Yu turned on his phone and pressed the alarm button through the dim screen light. "Hello?"
At that moment, the elevator door suddenly openedβand then Chiba noticed that only the bottom 10 centimeters of the car door part shone in the light, and the upper part was still shrouded in darkness.
"Oh no," a helmeted face peeked out from a small crack underneath. "If the car is in this position, you can only let the people above release the brakes...
"What's that?" Another man's voice suddenly rang out. "The one stuck to the bottom of the car, is it a note?"
"Notes? Ah, it's really a note! The man in the helmet took a step back, exposing the repairman's uniform to the view of Chiba and the others. I'll take a look at the content... β
"Don't try to break down the elevator car, or you're going to blow it up..." The repairman paused in the middle of his thoughts, and then changed to a look of fear. "There's also a bomb here! Hurry up and evacuate everyone! β
At this moment, an acquaintance appeared.
"I'm a cop!" Takagi sprang out of the corner, ran to the repairman, and pulled out his police ID. "What's going on?"
"A few minutes ago," the repairman replied. "There was a sudden explosion here, and two small children were trapped inside."
"And then," the voice of the man who had prompted the note sounded, and he stood upβa man in a repairman's uniform with a hoodie underneath. "We found a note under the elevator car. Also, this note seems to be for you. β
"What?" Takagi was startled and looked at the note as well.
"Officer Takagi, read it out." Chiba leaned over to the gap and said to Takagi outside.
"Thousand feathers?" Takagi was startled by Chiba's voice. "Why are you here?"
"Hurry up and read the note!" Qian Yu reminded again. "Read it out!"
"Huh?" Gao Mulen paused for a moment before he reacted. "Oh, I'll take a look."
Takagi walked to the elevator, looked at the elevator under the car, and began to read word by word.
"Stupid Mr. Policeman, since you can see this note, it means that you haven't been able to get the right answer. Then you need to follow the rules I have set. β
"1. The second bomb was on top of the elevator car, powerful enough to cause fatal damage to Tokyo Tower and even Tokyo Tower, and the bomb was detonated at twelve o'clock at noon."
"2. I don't mind you defusing the bomb, really, I'm even looking forward to you defusing the bomb, as long as you don't plan to rescue those two little children before defusing the bomb. Trust me, you should defuse that bomb, or it will only get worse. β
"3. As a very efficient hacker, I have taken control of the monitoring probe of this elevator, no matter how opportunistic you want, it is pointless, I am above you like a god. Remember, nothing you have done escapes my gaze. β
"Damn... Qianyu's expression was already very bad. "If the bomb is not defused, it will only get worse? I wonder if it's really like it was three years ago... β
"Three years ago?" Takagi wondered. "What happened three years ago?"
"Didn't you even read the relevant case files of your Metropolitan Police Department?" Qianyu's helpless tone even attracted the attention of the man in the hoodie. "Three years ago, the attackers planted a bomb in box 72 of the Ferris wheel, and only three seconds before the bomb was detonated, the electronic screen of the bomb indicated the next explosion location. Because of this, Matsuda Jinpei unfortunately died in the line of duty. β
"Huh?" Takagi was surprised. "So what to do?"
"Heh, leave me alone..." Qian Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he remembered something again and looked at the gray plain. "It's really unfortunate...
"It's not too bad compared to the worst, is it?" Gray Yuan Wai also had a wry smile.
"Perhaps." Qian Yu lay directly on the floor of the elevator and pursed the corners of his lips. "While it is theoretically reasonable to sacrifice a few of us to save the students of any school, how can this compensate for our losses...
"Send us to a shrine or get us a statue?" Gray Yuan also changed from the original squatting position to sit on the ground, looking directly above - if the note was true, that was where the bomb was. "Forget it, there are still two hours before the bomb explodes, don't let the bomb not explode by then, we will scare ourselves to death first."
The bell of the police car came through the cracks β if nothing else, it was the explosive ordnance disposal squad.
"There should be a signal on the phone now," Qian Yu turned on the phone, and sure enough, he found that the phone had received a weak signal. "I'd like to ask Officer Twilight how their men searched for bombs."
"Uh... Tachibana... Officer Twilight's voice on the other side of the phone was clearly ashamed. I didn't expect the bomb to be in Tokyo Tower, and they haven't been able to find it yet... β
"Can you ask the people who searched Tokyo Tower how they searched for it?" Qian Yu asked. "I wonder how they got this thing out?"
"Wait a minute, they're right in front of me." Officer Twilight said.
Ten seconds later, Officer Twilight's cold voice rang out.
"They still insisted that they didn't see any bombs β neither in the elevator's running gear nor on the roof of the car β and I had told them to rush to Tokyo Tower as well."
"I look forward to seeing them there, Officer Twilight, goodbye." After Qian Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then looked at the top of the car as well.
"The explosive device that can hold the amount of explosives that can blow up the entire Tokyo Tower is not small, how did they miss it?"
