Chapter Fifty-Six—The Final Decision Between Red and Blue
"Look at it, although the whole Octagonal Explosives is a transliteration of the octagonal explosives, have you forgotten? It looks like a piece of dynamite, but there's actually a piece of dynamite that was put together later, can you find it? Kenichi Sawada pointed. The bomb's designer was obviously not well versed in the characteristics of explosives, so to be safe, he did not rub the detonator into it with explosives, but first loaded the detonator into it, and then sealed the entrance of the detonator with a piece of explosive.
"Spliced later?" Hearing this, Qian Yu began to inspect the surface of the explosives. "Hmm, I think I've found it..."
There is a square depression on the surface of the explosive, and Chiba didn't take this depression seriously before, but now it seems that this should be what Kenichi Sawada said, "the explosives that were spliced together later"
"Excuse me, how do I need to open this explosive?" Qian Yu took out the fruit knife and asked. "Cut the explosives and take them out?"
"You're right," Sawada said approvingly. "But be careful, you only need to split the thin connection between the explosives. Don't cut too deep, otherwise it will be a big deal if you cut the internal thread that shouldn't be cut now. After separating the explosives that were put in later, just stick a knife into them. ”
"Understood," Qian Yu said, turning her wrist slightly, letting the tip of the knife glide gently over the explosives. Although the tip of the knife is only slightly buried in the bomb, when the tip of the knife leaves the gap, the gap is clearly visible.
"Take it out," Chiba forked out the explosives that had been stuffed in the back and placed them on the ground beside him. "There's a lot of lines in there."
"These are the real power cords of the detonator," Sawada replied with a smile as he glanced at the map in his hand again. "The detonator wires you see on the surface are fakes, and cutting any of them won't stop the countdown, because the real power lines are diving directly into the space inside the explosives material from behind the power supply. It's one of the many lines you see. ”
"Which is the power cord?" Qian Yu glanced at the colorful threads, pursed his lips, and asked.
"All power cords are marked with a word on the end, which should be used to mark which wire is the power cord. Four of the ten wires are real power cords, just cut the power cord that is connected to a small metal cylinder, and then cut the remaining three wires one by one. As for those three power cords—"
The sound of the explosion rushed into Chiba's ears. The ensuing wave of qi pushed both Chiba and Conan to the ground, and even Xiaolan was knocked to a stumbling ground.
It's an explosion! Where did it come from? After Qian Yu got up, he immediately looked around, only to find that there seemed to be no additional damage to the confined space that was already only left with ruins.
At the same time, outside the building.
"It's exploded," Mori Kogoro muttered as he knelt on the ground. Xiaolan... Xiaolan..."
"Mr. Maori!" Takagi comforted Mori Kogoro while sweating profusely while lamenting his bad luck.
As soon as the little ones were sent to the building, not long after leaving, they heard the explosion of the rice flower building behind them. As soon as he rushed back to the building, he saw Mori Kogoro running down from the taxi - at dinner the day before, he learned that Mori Ran was going to watch a movie with Kudo Shinichi, so he decided to follow him to ensure Ran's safety, but he didn't expect this to happen.
"Maori!" The majestic and familiar voice brought Mori Kogoro back to his senses and looked behind him. I saw a sturdy man with a scar stepping out of the police car.
"Matsumoto Section Chief - Matsumoto Management Officer!" Mori Kogoro was shocked. "You... How did you get here! ”
"Maori, where did your calmness go?" Matsumoto Kiyocho said angrily. "What is the most important thing as a police officer, have you forgotten?"
"Uhhh Maori Kogoro is speechless.
"If even a detective like you is afraid," Matsudaira Kiyocho was clearly angry. "And how do you let the civilians deal with themselves? Yes? Tell me! ”
"Stewardship..." Maori Kogoro suddenly looked like a deflated ball. "I'm sorry... I'm out of shape ... ”
"Mori, listen to me," Matsumoto Kiyocho squatted down in front of Kogoro and put his hands on his shoulders. "Calm down, okay? Trust the police! If even you are shaken, what will the civilians think? ”
。。。
"The phone line is broken... Qian Yu picked up the phone again, and found that the phone line was obviously broken by the explosion just now, and now the phone was not only hung up, but the quick tone was also gone.
"Did they tell you how to defuse the bomb?" Conan said hurriedly. "We're running out of time!"
"Of the nine wires that weren't connected to the cylinder, three were detonator power lines." Qian Yu pointed to the intricate wires and replied. "As for the clue or something, it may have something to do with the words at the end of the wire."
Right at the end of the nine wires, nine Chinese characters are written.
"Tong, Han, Wu, Fear, Zhen, Zhi, Ping, Song, Lord." Conan read the nine words one by one.
"Hmm..." Qian Yu pursed his lips. "I thought of a possibility."
"Otherwise?" Conan spreads his hands. "Just do it."
Chiba severed the wire attached to the cylinder - judging by Kenichi Sawada's account and Chiha's own observations, this was supposed to be the capacitor used to create security measures for the detonator power lines. Cutting off the capacitance is equivalent to the power cord being completely exposed to Chiba's scissors.
Teiji Moriya has an extreme penchant for symmetry, so it is entirely possible to consider whether these kanji are considered in terms of symmetry or not.
The three words same, ping, and main are symmetrical, while the remaining six are not. If Emperor Moriya hadn't considered these when he marked the second mark, Qianyu wouldn't have believed it.
With three flicks of the blades on both sides of the scissors, the three power cords were cut off, but the countdown stopped as Chiba and Conan imagined.
What emerges is a worse scenario.
Between the lightning and flint, the two uncut threads burst open on their own, revealing the red and blue liners, and the countdown on the screen changed from more than forty minutes to just five minutes!
“!!!” Both Chiba and Conan were shocked by the sudden turn of events.
The countdown to seconds on the screen is then moved from the right end of the screen to the left end, and the right end starts to display text.
"Dear bomb defuser, I sincerely admire your courage and marvel at your determination. Now, the time has come to test your fate. Choose between the intertwined reds and blues, cutting off one will save you, and cutting off the other will save you. Sinners, ask God's blessings! ”
