Conan: Nakamura-kun is forced to be almighty

Chapter 54 Kudo Shin-1’s Internship Day (5)

In the end, Nakamura chose to trust the scanner.

The bombs that detonate every ten minutes do not know where they are installed or how many they are.

They must also find out the cause of a person's death within the time limit. The police have no direction at the moment, which is an almost impossible challenge.

However, as police officers, they have no right to back down.

After sneaking back into the theater and telling Ito, the three of them took action quickly, not caring about the movie at all.

When passing by the front desk, Ito went up to comfort and convey the situation of the cinema. Nakamura and Kudo ran upstairs.

After passing through the lower three floors roughly once, the chance of problems will be smaller. The focus is still on the banquet hall and high-end restaurant upstairs.

While running, Nakamura continued to use his mobile phone to control the surrounding surveillance cameras, trying to find traces of the prisoner.

"Mr. Yuta, I am on the fifth floor and you are on the sixth floor."

"Okay, please pay attention to safety, report any problems first, and don't act without authorization!"

"clear."

No more words, just one big step and one small step quickly.

One person stopped on the fifth floor, and the other went straight to the sixth floor.

Nakamura clearly believed that being a police officer was just a job and he only had to do what he could. Without hesitation, Nakamura rushed to the sixth floor where the bomb might be.

No matter how high-end the restaurant is, it will never deny entry to guests.

Facing the waiter who came up, Nakamura showed his ID and said he needed to go in for investigation.

This situation is different from before. Since the Metropolitan Police Department has directly received the provocative fax, it is completely reasonable for the police to appear in the mall.

Maybe the bad prisoner was hiding behind the monitor, watching the police officers bustle over a fax.

The waiters in high-end restaurants have good psychological qualities and do not panic much.

"Mr. Police Officer, what's the matter?"

"Is there any special situation in the restaurant?"

The waiter thought for a moment and replied: "Nothing has happened in the past half hour. I need to ask another colleague of mine half an hour ago."

"Where are your colleagues?"

"He left for his shift twenty minutes ago. Do I need to call him back?"

"No need for now, I'll go in and investigate by myself."

"Ok."

The waiter didn't object. In many cases, the police in this country are just like the waiters. Their high-end restaurant is not afraid of police investigation anyway.

It's not yet lunch time, and there are only a few customers inside, which is very convenient for Nakamura's investigation.

Nakamura quickly walked around the restaurant, but no alarm appeared on the scanner.

"I need to go check out the kitchen."

"No problem," the waiter said leading the way, "This way."

The overall environment of the kitchen is very clean, and there are several neatly dressed and capable chefs busy processing various ingredients in preparation for the upcoming lunch.

Seeing a stranger enter, the oldest of the chefs came over to greet him.

"Matsumoto, who is this?"

"Mr. Takeuchi, this is Police Officer Nakamura."

Nakamura was really impatient to deal with this kind of situation. After showing his ID, he said a few perfunctory words and walked around for a while. Without receiving any prompts, he said goodbye and left.

When he went down to the fifth floor, Kudo Shinichi and Ito were already waiting at the stairs of the fifth floor.

"Is there something going on on the fifth floor?"

"No, we have searched carefully."

"Then let's go down."

When approaching the third floor, Nakamura suddenly said: "Shinichi, I have something to ask you."

"what?"

Nakamura took the person aside, and Ito turned his back, not listening to their conversation.

"I need you to go to the dormitory to help get something."

"What? Now?"

"Yes, the situation is very urgent."

Nakamura whispered something to Shinichi.

The more he listened, the weirder Kudo Shinichi's expression became, "Mr. Yuta, do you really... need to go now? I'd better stay here to help."

"That is a very important thing, the key to turning defeat into victory."

"I'll get it immediately."

Nakamura handed him the key, "Go back quickly."

"it is good!"

After the boy left, Nakamura turned to Ito and said, "Let's check the lower three floors again."

"Ok."

The lower three floors of stores, large and small, are filled with all kinds of customers.

Nakamura and Ito pretended to be customers choosing clothes and visited each store one by one.

I went to several stores in a row with no results until I entered a store selling children's clothing.

The scanner in Nakamura's hand buzzed and vibrated, and things finally turned around.

Follow the instructions and walk to a booth in the boys' shoes area.

Most of the people shopping are women, and the boys' shoes area has fewer customers.

As soon as Nakamura and Ito walked over, a waiter came over to introduce them.

"Gentlemen, how old do you need to see your child's shoes?"

"This is the style." Nakamura picked up a pair of sneakers.

"Sir, what shoe size does your child need?"

"I'm not sure, the length should be about the same. By the way, is the box below filled with new products in stock?"

"Yes." The waiter stepped forward to help.

But Ito stopped him and said, "We can do it ourselves. I'll call you if necessary."

With this obstruction, Nakamura had already picked up the shoe box.

The weight of the box was obviously wrong. It was much heavier than normal shoes. The appearance of the box was also unreasonably clean.

The shoe boxes of new products in stock are placed under the display products in the mall. Even very responsible clerks may not necessarily put them on top, and they will inevitably collect some dust over time.

Just now, Nakamura picked up the display items placed above, and they all felt dusty. There was no reason why the shoe box was clean.

There is no doubt that this shoe box has been tampered with!

Nakamura carefully placed the shoe box on the ground and opened the lid gently.

There is limited space inside the shoe box, and there is a pair of shoes exactly like the ones on display, but nothing else.

Ito was a little confused, "Officer Nakamura, why is there nothing?"

"No, it's inside."

Nakamura took out his shoes and tapped the bottom of the box a few times. The white bottom plate dented downwards, and the small compartment below was finally revealed.

The waiter who was stopped by Ito came back at some point.

"Mr. Police Officer, what is going on?"

Ito made a shushing gesture, "There are dangerous items here, and our police will be responsible for removing them. Your job is to help calm the customers and not cause panic. Can you do that?"

"no problem."

Nakamura has already seen the display screen inside, which is marked 00:36:26. If calculated based on an explosion every ten minutes, this bomb will be detonated in the fourth batch.

I found the bomb and saw the long countdown on it, but I was not in a hurry to defuse it.

"Ito, please inform Megure Police Department of the situation and call for support."

"Hi."

Finding a bomb means that the faxed provocation plan has really been put into practice. There is not much time left for the police. There are only 6 minutes left before the first bomb.

The time is too short, even if the bomb is found, it cannot be defused, and the only choice is to detonate it in a safe zone.

The prerequisite is to find it within the time limit, otherwise guests wandering around the mall will be lucky enough to have the opportunity to watch the gorgeous fireworks up close.

Leaving Ito here guarding the bomb, Nakamura ran non-stop to a store.

Even if we know that the chance of successful bomb defusal is slim, nothing will change if we don't try. It's obviously not the time to give up yet.

Perhaps considering the flow of people, there was not a single bomb on the upper three floors, but three bombs were found one after another in the village on the lower three floors.

The times were found at fifteen minutes, forty-four minutes and fifty-two minutes, as well as the first thirty-six minutes.

The bombs detonated for the second, fourth, fifth and sixth times were all found, but the bombs detonated for the first and third times were missing.

The first bomb was a declaration of war against the police, and its placement was absolutely planned.

Judging from the time of the bomb that has been found, there are only two minutes left before it detonates. Can he really find it?

The roaring police car arrived belatedly.

The leader of the search section is still the Megure Police Department, and the bomb disposal team is also an old acquaintance. One team is the Hagiwara team, and the other team is the Kitamura team.

There was no time for more pleasantries, and Nakamura immediately described the current emergency situation.

When they heard that four bombs had been found and only two bombs remained, the Megure Police Department patted Nakamura on the shoulder.

"Nakamura, thank you for your hard work."

"This is within my duties." Nakamura looked serious. "The problem is that there are still two bombs that have not been found, and one of them will detonate in two minutes."

Hagiwara's expression was quite relaxed, "Megure Police Department, are all the bombs confirmed to be installed in this building?"

"Yes, the two calls I received came from this mall."

Nakamura suddenly thought of something and ran straight to the fourth floor without having time to explain.

Damn it, there was a position that he ignored!

The front desk clerk was coerced into calling the police twice. When Nakamura left with Kudo Shinichi, he happened to notice tears in the corners of her eyes.

Because he didn't like to talk to others, he never went near the bar except when he bought a ticket.

After entering the theater, the scanner that was turned on naturally failed to scan the situation around her.

Others had just arrived at the scene and had not yet reacted, "Brother Nakamura, what's wrong? Did you think of something?"

Ito quickly followed, and he suddenly realized that his boss's old habit was causing darkness under the lamp.

Hagiwara Kenji was not wearing explosion-proof clothing at the moment, and he was not slow at all in his movements.

"Mr. Police, let me go up first to check the situation."

The members of the Metropolitan Police Department and the explosives team who were left at the scene looked at each other in confusion. Captain Kitamura took the initiative to stand up and gave an embarrassing explanation to the Megure Police Department.

"Megure Police Department, I'm sorry, Captain Hagiwara is anxious for the moment..."

Mumu Police Department waved his hand, "It's okay, everyone is doing it for the safety of the people, there is no need to worry about these details."

Captain Kitamura had spent a lot of time working together with the Search Division, so he knew what kind of character Megure Police Department was, so he wasn't too worried.

It's just that the explosives team and the search section are two departments after all. Even if they work together for a long time, they need to pay attention to the details in order to facilitate the work and cannot be ignored.

Seeing the two young men heading straight for danger, I couldn't help but sigh: the longer I serve as a police officer, the less pure my thoughts become.

I remember that when he first joined the job, he seldom cared about these common etiquette and only thought about saving people.

Nakamura had already rushed to the cinema and saw from a distance that the waiter had completely lost his composure and his eyes were red from crying.

Within three meters of the counter, the scanner suddenly began to vibrate.

When Nakamura has no expression, his gloomy temperament becomes more and more prominent. Especially at this moment, his expression is heavy, and he doesn't look like a good person.

The front desk clerk leaned back in shock, avoiding meeting his eyes.

"You know where the bomb is, right?"

The waiter nodded blankly, then shook his head suddenly.

Nakamura moved closer.

Suddenly, a clear voice broke in.

"Miss, it's no problem. I am a police officer who handles explosives. Can you tell me the location of the dangerous goods?"

A confident and reassuring smile appeared on his handsome face.

The waiter's expression relaxed a little, as if he saw hope, and choked up: "There are bombs in this counter, and there are also bombs in the theater, and there are many people watching movies inside."

"Let me go in and deal with it, okay?"

The waiter nodded hurriedly, opened the side exit, and stepped aside.

Hagiwara walked in, followed closely by Nakamura.

This scene seemed like a repeat of three years ago, which made Nakamura's nerves frequently touched, making him dizzy.

"Hagiwara..."

Hagiwara Kenji kept walking and reassured: "Yuta, I am professional in handling explosives, trust me."

"Do you have a signal jammer?"

Ito finally rushed to the front of the counter. After hearing this, he immediately took out a small box.

"Officer Nakamura, I have a jammer."

"That's great, that's a big help." Hagiwara bent down to check the situation under the counter.

This box is placed generously among the items, so anyone can see it at a glance.

There was only 1 minute and 32 seconds left on the electronic display.

This prisoner was really good at attacking people's minds. He threatened her to call the police, and also made her watch the bomb in front of her, with the time decreasing by the second.

Hagiwara was about to reach out and get it.

Nakamura grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute, let me scan for a vibrating detonation device first."

His scanner comes with a display with codes representing various detonators.

After scanning, only the words 1,3 were written on it.

This means that this bomb only has timed detonation and remote detonation.

Hagihara Kenji knew very well that the detection equipment equipped by the explosives squad could only detect the presence of bombs, but could not scan the detonation method.

I was confused, but this was obviously not the right time to ask.

"You can take it away."

"OK."

Hagiwara Kenji picked up the box and said, "I'll take it out first. Yuta, you check the situation over there in the theater."

"be careful."

"Don't worry about my driving skills."

Ito was a little confused, obviously not knowing what it had to do with driving skills.

Nakamura handed the scanner in his hand to Ito, "You scan the fourth floor again, and I'll go with Hagiwara."

Ito stood at attention and said, "Hi."

Hagiwara walked ahead holding the box, passing by the waiter, and smiled at her with enough time.

"It'll be okay, don't worry."

"Well," the waiter wiped away his tears.

Nakamura added, "Please elaborate on my colleagues later."

"Ok."

Going downstairs from the fourth floor only takes more than 20 seconds at the pace of the two of them. Compared with the uncontrollable time of the elevator, walking downstairs is better.

The two rushed down quickly, "Kasahara, key."

"it is good."

A member of Hagiwara's team threw a bunch of keys over, and Nakamura caught them.

"Memu Police Department, we will explain later."

"Oh!"

The police department looked a little confused as the two men hugged a box and rushed out of the mall without slowing down.

Fortunately, this shopping mall not only has a central escalator, but also an internal staircase that allows you to go straight up and down without being blocked by the flow of people.

After getting into the police car, there were only 52 seconds left on the display.

Nakamura held the box in his arms and said, "Go to the nearby river."

Hagiwara fastened his seat belt and said, "OK, the distance is about one kilometer."

"Can you make it?"

"no problem."

The police car, sirens blaring, almost careened into traffic.

This shopping mall is basically located in the city center. Today is the weekend, and there is a lot of traffic, and you can't see the end of it at a glance.

Nakamura grabbed the box with one hand and the side armrest with the other.

The whistling sound from the open car window blew Nakamura's slightly longer hair into a mess.

The beeping whistle and the sound of brakes intersect.

Nakamura had no time to pay attention and only kept paying attention to the time on the box.

30 秒

20 秒

10 秒

5 秒

3 秒

The car stopped suddenly and swayed.

Hagiwara grabbed the box, and the driver's cab door opened at some point.

The sound of heavy objects entering the water.
