Conan's Helping People

Chapter 293 Death Penalty

The savior answered the call.

There was no human voice on the other end of the phone, only a few quiet breathing sounds, and a particularly obvious ticking sound, which was the beating sound of the countdown.

A few seconds later, he heard the uproar of the crowd and Judy's low exclamation, "The big screen is off."

The big screen in Times Square suddenly shut down, and both images and sounds stopped abruptly.

Hyuga rationally turned his head and glanced, and finally heard a human voice on the other end of the phone, the voice of the criminal, "Yes, I turned off the big screen."

There is a slight electric current in the sound.

It was there when the big screen was still playing, but at that time the big screen was on the outside, the sound effect was very bad and there were a lot of noise, so it was not obvious, but now it is through the phone communication, it is a bit obvious.

"Good," Belmode praised, she lowered her voice, "Mr. Reasonable is listening."

"I have a question," said the criminal, "When did you realize something was wrong with Times Square?"

"Did the FBI tell you? Or did you notice it yourself?"

In this guy's voice, there was a little thirst for knowledge, and the posture was not too high. The tone became more serious in the second half, and it should be biased towards what Yu Yuga rationally discovered by himself.

However, Hinata stated the facts reasonably and calmly, "Sharon told me."

That's right, before arriving at Times Square, Belmode told him that there would be an unexpected situation in Times Square today, although he didn't describe it in detail.

"...Sharon?" The criminal choked and asked persistently, "If she hadn't told you, you would have noticed something was wrong when you arrived in Times Square, right?"

That is indeed the case, Hinata responded reasonably and without objection, "Yes."

The other party's voice immediately raised to a higher level, and said very sincerely: "Excuse me, where is the flaw?"

Where is the flaw?

Rational Hinata: "..."

This question should be changed to: Where is there no flaw?
But it's not a good answer.

A case is composed of the murderer, the victim, the murder weapon, the occurrence of the crime, and the process of handling it.

As for the murderer, from the very beginning, the receptionist didn't hide himself very much, even Mao Lilan noticed the abnormality.

So from the murderer's side, can you explain in detail where there is a flaw?No, because some guys have no intention of hiding.

Victims are not criminals, and have nothing to do with the flaw, so it can be skipped.

The murder weapons are those timing devices, and the auxiliary murder weapons are cameras, communicators and large screens.

Being able to live broadcast the event openly with the signal jammer turned on may be somewhat to increase the panic atmosphere in Times Square, but Hinata reasonably feels that it is he who exposed his big tail under the quilt and pointed at Little Red Riding Hood Crazy gesture 'Look, do you think I am your grandma? '.

The other party was frantically signaling 'Look, do you think we have been instructed by the powerful? '.

Not hidden at all.

That's not to mention any flaws.

As for the incident and handling of the case, the former was directly hit by the FBI and Belmode before it started, and the latter...

Can these guys really live long enough to deal with the follow-up of the case?

I'm afraid the person responsible for killing them is already on the way now, right?
Whether it is the generation in power in New York or the people who instructed them, they want to clean them up. The former may have a choice of leaving a living and confession, while the latter's clean ideas are extremely firm.

The question was too unanswerable, and Hinata paused for a few seconds reasonably.

In the silence, the other party murmured to himself as if suddenly: "...It's too obvious, isn't it?"

"I knew that in the eyes of detectives, we are like passers-by with flashlights in the dark. How could we hide?"

This description is actually good, especially the metaphor of 'flashlight'.

Isn't the gaze of some criminals just a flashlight?
It's really incomprehensible to just scan the surroundings so unobstructed, without any disguise at all.

"If you want to hide it, you must first turn off the flashlight." Hinata said reasonably, "The difference in the eyes of people who have been stained with blood and those who have not is really obvious."

as well as.

He thought for a while, "Turn off the timing device first."

Belmode vowed that as long as he made this request, the other party would absolutely comply.

It's still a little incomprehensible, at least Hinata is reasonable and incomprehensible, but he estimated the time, and if he didn't turn off the timing device, then the Mr. criminal probably wouldn't have a chance to turn it off.

"why?"

Sure enough, the other party didn't follow suit right away, but asked subconsciously first, and said again: "Do you think we are not the same kind of people, so there is no need to talk to me too much?"

"No," Hinata said reasonably and sincerely, "it's your time of death is coming."

criminal:"……?"

Finding that the other party was silent to prevent misunderstanding, Hinata rationally explained again, "You are not the planner of this operation, are you?"

Although acting like a planner.

"Your death is really coming." He said, "If you can survive for 10 minutes, it means that Mr. Planner is not decisive enough."

Not decisive enough to give the order to kill the mouth.

It's not smart enough. I didn't directly install a guy who is responsible for silence next to this guy. No matter whether the incident is a success or a failure, when the incident is over, just suffocate the criminal and bury him in the soil. Most of the things are completely fixed on Mr. Criminal.

and so.

"Turn off the timing device now." Hinata said reasonably, "Before you die."

Even if it is not closed, Belmode still has a few minutes to retreat, so it doesn't matter.

The rest depends on how fast the hostages below can run.

However, Hinata reasonably estimated that when the time comes, Yukiko Kudo may not be willing to give up the hostages below and run away to survive, so Belmode still needs to run with Yukiko Kudo directly, and may not have time to go downstairs at all Open the door.

Then, it doesn't matter if those hostages run fast or not.

criminal:"……"

Regardless of whether it is turned off or not, this guy's life has entered a countdown that cannot be turned off.

If he chooses to turn it off, there is still a chance that the hostages below will survive, but there is a probability, because there may be more than one remote control.

If he chooses not to close, many people will be with him when he dies.

The choice between human beings is really amazing, and the other party may even detonate the timing device directly.

Hyuga rationally counted the seconds quietly, and he reserved 5 minutes for Belmode to retreat.

One minute and three seconds, one minute and two seconds, one minute and one second... 53 seconds.

The ticking sound of the timing device is transmitted through the mobile phone, and it will sound every second, which is very rhythmic and convenient for counting down.

Then, it ticked twice suddenly and abruptly, then stopped abruptly.

The timer stops.

Belmode said softly: "The timing device is off."

"I'm not in charge of the gate of that building. He's in the monitoring room on the third floor." The criminal said, "I'm not the only one with the remote control."

He hesitated a few times before continuing: "I am a death row prisoner."

Death, punishment, crime?

This is not a New Yorker. New York does not have the death penalty. In this area, most states do not have the death penalty, and only a few individual areas retain the death penalty.

Even in places where the death penalty is preserved, very few prisoners will be sentenced to death, and there will be some controversy if they are sentenced.

Then, if this guy says that he is a death row prisoner, it is almost equivalent to self-reporting his family. Even if Belmode has not figured out the power of the attacking party, he only needs to investigate the only death row prisoners, and then find out who If you have been in contact with those guys, you can follow the vines to lock the other party's power.

"I should have been injected with drugs and executed two days ago." The criminal continued, "But a few months ago, someone came to me. I don't know which faction he is from. I only know that he ..."

"Bam—!"

There was the sound of a sniper rifle.

The sound that sounded first was actually the sound of the glass window being pierced, then the other party's voice stopped, and the sound of a human body falling to the ground sounded.

Then came the crackling sound of glass hitting the ground and the sound of the penetrating sniper gun.

Hinata rationally heard the gunshots in reality first. While opening the car door and putting Mao Lilan in, he looked up in the direction of the gunshots. A second later, the gunshots came from the phone simultaneously.

"Hello?" Belmode said, "He's dead." "

Obvious.

In some places the death penalty is very 'humane', it is to inject the condemned prisoner with drugs and let him leave decently, but sniping is not decent at all.

There is another difference between the two. The former has to watch the medicine enter his body, feel drowsiness sweeping over him little by little, and die slowly in the drowsiness and powerlessness.

The latter only needs to be unresponsive for a while, let the bullet catch up with him, and he can escape directly in a second.

Which one would this criminal prefer?

Hinata thought about it reasonably, and felt that in his own words, he still prefers the second option.

He said, "Is there anything else?"

If not, he will hang up.

"So calm," Belmode's voice was close to the phone, and she called out a low voice, "Lily."

He was deliberately lowering his voice so that Yukiko Kudo would not hear it.

The sound quality of the mobile phone has also changed, from hands-free to earpiece.

"You should go to open the door now." Hinata reminded reasonably.

"I've been dismantling bombs at close range just now, aren't you worried about me?" Belmode asked slowly.

What's there to worry about?
Isn't there two outcomes for bomb disposal, success or failure?

Even if it failed, it was Belmode's own choice. Hyuga Ryo would at most reflect on himself first, because he was directing which thread to cut.

Will reflect for as long as 0.01 seconds.

"It's your own choice," he said tactfully, "I believe in you."

"Really?" Belmode asked again in a low voice, "If you were here, would you be nervous?"

not nervous.

Hinata said reasonably and patiently: "Don't make such meaningless assumptions."

First of all, he will not appear in public as a savior.

...unless there is a mission.

"A meaningless hypothesis?" Belmode pondered for a moment, she turned her head and whispered a few words to Yukiko Kudo, then kicked the door and broke into the monitoring room.

The monitoring room was empty, with only pieces of monitors and chairs, and no one was there.

Belmode glanced at it, and then assumed again, "Since it is hypothetical, what would you do if the person standing in front of the timer device that cannot be disassembled is you, and the countdown is still three seconds away?"

Kudo Yukiko quickly checked the monitoring and monitoring records, then shook her head at her, indicating that the monitoring of the last few hours had been destroyed.

The guy in the monitoring room probably saw that the situation was not good, so he just slipped away and mixed into the group of hostages below.

Belmode also made gestures, indicating to let that guy go first, and the most urgent task now is to open the door, while urging Hinata to be reasonable, "Huh?"

Only three seconds.

Hinata thought about it rationally, "Cover your face?"

Belmode: "...?"

She said cautiously: "You actually realized..."

"Protect your face and preserve the integrity of your appearance," Hinata said rationally, "It can save a lot of time for the finishers to confirm the corpse."

"If you bring your ID, then give priority to protecting your ID."

"With the ID and face, the police can confirm the identity immediately."

He thought for a while, "If there are any characteristics on the body, you can also consider protecting it. It is very convenient in the process of identifying the corpse."

Of course, this is what normal people should consider.

Hyuga Ryo also answered from the perspective of a normal person, if it is from his perspective...

It doesn't matter whether you protect your appearance, documents and physical characteristics.

Anyway, there will be no family identification link.

Unclaimed and unidentified corpses will be burned uniformly and turned into a pile of ashes.

Hinata rationally remembers this, but I'm not sure.

Belmode asked: "Aren't you resisting?"

"Tell me," Hinata repeated the question rationally, "There are still three seconds."

Three seconds is only enough to choose his death posture and injury position.

Rebellion can be left behind after death, and you can imagine it to your heart's content.

Belmode: "..."

She pondered for a while, then changed the subject, "Yukiko opened the door."

"Come on." Hinata gave reasonable encouragement, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

At the same time as "No" sounded over there, he hung up the phone, then reached out and pressed Mao Lilan's forehead, and pressed her back who was looking over the car window.

His phone vibrated a few times, and several messages arrived at the same time.

[Successfully evacuated. 】

It was Hero with black hair, and the other party sent another message asking, [Do you need to cover the sniper? 】

[Why don't you answer?Have you retreated to a safe area? 】

It's gin.

Swiping up, the other party also sent several messages, including serious inquiries about the previous question, about the live broadcast in Tokyo, and a heart-to-heart saying that there is no need to worry about the Tokyo police. The Tokyo police have been transferred.

Very caring, but also very speculative.

Hinata responded reasonably and simply: [Yes, I will reward you. 】

Back in Gin seconds [? ], he continued to scroll down until he found the message from the last person.

It's Hero the Blonde.

[Arrive at the mission site. 】
