Chapter 274 - Praying Mantis with Cicadas and Yellow Sparrows
The bomb was defused, and Chiba and Ai were pulled from the elevator shaft to the 150-meter-high observation deck about 20 minutes later.
"Came back to life... Chiba looked out through the observation deck – and the two helicopters that were circling on either side of Tokyo Tower. "I've never wanted to see Tokyo so much."
Right behind them, Shuzo Hagiwara was being questioned.
"You probably cut off the bomb so you didn't see the location, did you?" A burly man asked.
"I didn't cut it off at all," Hagiwara shook his head again with great determination. "The time on the screen is still displayed after zero, but there is no specific place to send it!"
"Don't talk about that yet," the burly man sighed. "You go down again and bring this bomb up. I'll take the kids to safety first, and then we'll take care of the rest. ”
"How are we going to go down?" Gray Plains asked. "You don't want us to take a helicopter, do you?"
"No," the burly man crouched down, smiling kindly as he pointed out the window. "Helicopters can't get too close here, so it's only a highly trained special soldier like us who can calmly jump on the rope ladder pulled up by the two helicopters. Go down the stairs over there. ”
"Stairs?" Qian Yu looked not far away and raised his eyebrows.
"What's that?" Gray Yuan said curiously.
"I don't know," Qian Yu shook her head. "I've never been here before."
"You haven't walked the outer stairs," the burly man's smile was like a spring breeze. "Then you two are going to go once!"
。。。
The outer staircase is red, and it is a very simple normal outer staircase, and the width and height of the stairs are normal.
But...
"The ones below are... Thousand Feathers' support unit gave him the answer after he muttered for a moment. "Media?"
"I don't want to see the media." Gray Plains was stunned for a moment, and then said with some concern.
"Hmm... Chiba glanced at Gray Yuan's clothes.
"What are you doing?" Gray Yuan Ai was taken aback by Qian Yu's eyes - when Qian Yu subconsciously looked at Gray Yuan Ai, his height and position made the first thing he saw was the position of his chest on Gray Yuan Ai's clothes.
"If you're wearing two, you can put one piece of clothing over your head and say you've been in the elevator for too long and can't see the light." Thousand feathers spread their hands. "But apparently you're only wearing a short-sleeved one, so you can't help it."
"You're wearing two," Gray Plains looked at Chiba. "But I can't wear it."
Chiba wore two pieces of clothing, but neither of them could be taken off on the outside - one of them was a black underwear, and the only function of this clothing was to cover the outside world from the outside world on the basis of breathability and moisture, because the auxiliary unit was buried under this clothing. The other is a normal long-sleeved shirt.
"Uncle," Qian Yu suddenly thought of something and said to the burly man behind him. "Can you lend her the helmet? She's a little scared of the media down there. ”
"Media?" The man was stunned for a moment, and looked down before he realized the situation below. "Oh, okay. Uncle gave her the helmet. ”、
Gray Yuan Ai took the helmet and put it on his head, hiding his face under the helmet.
……
When Chiba and the others walked down the stairs back to the top of the Tokyo Tower, and finally walked out of the tower from the first floor, the reporters had already gathered up.
"Two children," the curly-haired female reporter with braids interviewed while holding the microphone of "Daily Sale TV". "Do you know what just happened?"
"When do you mean something?" Qianyu guarded the gray plain behind him and said politely. "The bomb on the top of the elevator or something?"
"You know there's a bomb there," the female reporter smiled. "Are you afraid?"
"It's useless to be afraid," Qian Yu smiled and shook her head. "We have full confidence that the police will be able to make the most reasonable choice."
"Okay, you guys go down and rest first," the female reporter touched Chiha's head, and then asked his assistants to stop the doctors who arrived.
Although they were safe, Chiba still didn't understand why the bomb hadn't detonated - until the female reporter who had been kind to them just now seemed to question the burly man on the explosives disposal team.
"We just got the word that the bomb disposal man you sent to defuse the bomb did so out of ultimate cowardice, and finally failed to get a clue about the next bomb in two hours?"
Qianyu and Gray Plains suddenly turned their heads and looked at the female reporter whose face was covered with frost. When the two looked at each other again, they realized that they had changed color.
If it is said that the bomb did not detonate because of a system failure, but that the attacker did not intend to detonate it at all, and then speculate on the other party's intentions from the worst angle......
"Why do you think that?" The burly man asked rhetorically.
"Just about 20 minutes ago, someone sent a letter to Nikmii TV." The female reporter handed the burly man a copy of the letter, apparently photocopied. "The sender, who claimed to be the one who planted the bomb, said that he had informed you and that he would tell you the location of the next bigger explosion a few seconds before the bomb detonated. As long as the policeman has the courage to do his duty, then he has enough time to get the message out and the next bomb will not explode. In the end, he threatened that the police were cowardly, and that the person in charge of defusing the bomb would definitely not dare to let the bomb detonate because he was afraid of death, so he chose to cut the bomb's line. ”
"Oh my God......" Qian Yu muttered.
"This sucks!" Gray Yuan Wai also had a bad expression on his face.
……
In a small alley not far away, a man was on the phone.
"You've already sent that letter to Nikyoi TV, right? Ah, it's normal to have noise, and it's not impossible that Tokyo Tower is a signal transmission tower and there is interference when making phone calls here. ”
"Trust me, those reporters will definitely do us a favor."
"No, no, no, you don't understand, the more conscientious journalists are, the more they will be on a frantic pitch – both their professional ethics and their 'philosophy of justice' will help us push the face and credibility of the Metropolitan Police Department into the abyss!"
"Ah, wait a minute, I've got a text message asking us to go back to work...... Then I'll hang up the phone first. ”
……
Three minutes ago, the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Are you sure this is the kind of bomb that was planted at Rice Flower Central Hospital three years ago?" Officer Twilight was pleasantly surprised. "At Didan High School?"
"Okay, get rid of these bombs right now! I'm also going to start the net collection operation immediately! ”
