Chapter 1917: A Half-Hour Nightmare
July 23, Monday, night, outside Mei Dai Restaurant.
Sonoko arrived first and called Lan and Conan down, and then Dr. Ari and Haibara brought Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko over to gather.
After finishing the first half of work at Mei Dai Restaurant ahead of schedule, Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Hondo Eisuke, and Tarhan's third sister, Mei Lisi, came out.
A few moments later, the eldest sister of Tarhan's family, Delya, and the second sister, Yabolako, drove over in a rented SUV and took everyone to Lianqiao Town to find Maori. ...
At around 7:20 p.m., Forsythia Town.
The old street has been refurbished, and the exterior walls of the buildings in the nearby Hamawa Town and Zhutomi Town have been painted and redecorated.
In the center of Forsythia Town, a two-meter-high giant hourglass was also built as a landmark.
Inside the hourglass is blue sand that turns every half hour.
In order to build up the reputation of the region, we specially invited the "Run-Away" program group.
This program is a real-life chasing and escape game. The escapers have a limited range. As long as the chasers catch all the escaped people, they can collectively win a one million yen prize.
This program is broadcast at 7:30 every Monday night, and the whole time is exactly half an hour, which is exactly the same as the hourglass time.
Everyone saw the program team in the parking lot, and they were preparing for the start-up.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko stopped and watched for a while, then turned around and left.
The place that everyone agreed with Maori was in front of the big hourglass, and Maori's small steel ball shop was nearby.
Lan was thinking along the way, if Mao Li didn't get it, how would she get Mao Li out.
However, when everyone arrived, they found that Maori was already waiting, holding a bag of things in his hand, and he obviously won a lot.
"Ah, you are here, Hondo, come here and help me hold it." Mao Li forcefully stuffed the items in Hondo Eisuke's hands.
Yuan Tai asked: "Hey, uncle, where are we going to eat? Is there eel rice?"
Maori was a little embarrassed, "Ah, that..."
Everyone felt something was wrong, Yuanzi asked: "Hey, uncle, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
Mitsuhiko said: "No way, how can adults say nothing."
Ayumi said: "A liar is the worst."
Lan asked, "Dad, you've made a restaurant reservation, haven't you?"
"Of course I have a reservation," Mao Li said guiltily, "It's just that I was late and there were no seats left, so I have to wait until eight o'clock in the evening."
Huiyuan said angrily: "Fortunately, we are not asked to go home."
"Anyway, we'll gather here at eight o'clock in the evening." Maori slipped away after speaking, and ran to the pachinko shop in a blink of an eye.
Lan said embarrassedly to everyone, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, I've eaten."
Yuanzi repented, "If I had known earlier, I would have eaten dinner before coming back."
At this time, the "Run-Away" program group, surrounded by spectators, walked over quickly.
Yamazaki said with a smile: "Okay, for the next half an hour, let's do our own activities, Bentang, let's go to the pachinko shop to find the uncle and make sure he won't lose the money for the meal."
After that, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko stayed and watched the "Run-Away" program group up close, and took the camera by the way.
Dr. Ali followed them to prevent them from messing around; Huiyuan and Conan went to the bookstore in the nearby shopping mall to read books to pass the time; and the three sisters, Lan, Yuanzi, Mei Daizi, and Tarhan, went shopping together. ...
bookstore.
Haibara and Conan separated, one reads medical books and the other reads detective novels.
Huiyuan took down a book and was about to flip through it when he suddenly found someone behind him.
Hui Yuan turned around vigilantly, and found that it was a slightly fat middle-aged woman,
Suddenly he was relieved.
Then, Huiyuan noticed a familiar smile on the corner of the middle-aged woman's mouth, and realized it for a moment, her pupils constricted, and her face became ugly, "Bei, Belmomo, De!"
"You live a leisurely life." The middle-aged woman Belmode smiled and stretched out her hand to rub Hui Yuan's head, "However, your terrified expression is still so cute."
Huiyuan clenched his fists tightly in fear, trembling all over, and his teeth chattered unconsciously.
The middle-aged woman Belmode pushed Huiyuan all the way to behind Conan, who was concentrating on reading a novel.
Conan found someone behind him, looked back, and found that it was Hui Yuan, so he didn't care, and turned his attention back to the book
Immediately, Conan realized, no, Haibara's expression was wrong.
Conan turned around suddenly, confirmed that Haibara was afraid, and also realized who the middle-aged woman she didn't know next to her was.
Conan was very surprised, very surprised, "Bermode!"
"Very good, I haven't forgotten me yet." The middle-aged woman Belmode pinched Conan's surprised face, "I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."
Conan clapped Belmode's hand away, "Then why are you here?"
The middle-aged woman Belmode said with a smile: "I brought a bomb, which is enough to blow up a large apartment. What do you think I am here for?"
"You..." Conan said angrily, and then calmed down, "No matter who your target is, I will not let you succeed."
"Confidence can't solve the problem." The middle-aged woman Belmode laughed, "Let's play a game first."
Conan gritted his teeth: "I don't play, I won't be led by your nose."
The middle-aged woman Belmode made way sideways, "Okay, then please go ahead and see if the police came sooner or I detonated it sooner."
Conan hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly compromised, "Okay, I'll play a game with you."
"That's good." The middle-aged woman Belmode made Haibara and Conan stand face to face, Conan's right hand and Haibara's left hand, ten fingers interlaced.
Then, the middle-aged woman Belmode stuffed a box into the palms of the two of them.
Conan couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
"Guess for yourself, aren't you a detective?" The middle-aged woman Belmode said with a smirk, "Then enter the four-legged game time. You have half an hour to walk to Mihua Park. The rule is that you can't tell others, including On your phone, and don't let go, and stay out of buildings, especially underground and tunnels."
Conan said: "That is to say, there are pressure sensing devices and satellite positioning systems. You can see us, and maybe there are monitoring devices to know what we said along the way."
The middle-aged woman Belmode asked: "Oh, aren't you afraid?"
"I know, you don't want to kill us, otherwise we would have died long ago." Conan said, "I have a stomach full of doubts, who is your real identity, and what are you doing..."
The middle-aged woman Belmode interrupted: "I really don't want to kill you, but if you must seek death yourself, then I will not care about it. Remember the rules of the game. The result of breaking the rules is not as simple as a red card. "
At the end, the middle-aged woman Belmode made a gesture of invitation.
Conan and Haibara knew that this was a sign that they could leave now, and the two reluctantly began to move in sync, one with four legs, like a crab.
Under the strange eyes of passers-by, the two of them walked all the way. If they were in a normal state, they would have found a crack in the ground to hide in embarrassment, but now, they dare not let go at all.
After leaving the shopping mall, Haibara relaxed a lot, wrote on Conan's hand with his right hand, and opened his mouth to speak at the same time, only gestured his mouth, but made no sound.
"You think it's really a bomb?"
Conan also gestured, "What do you think?"
Huiyuan gestured and said: "We met her here, definitely by chance, and if we met by chance, it seems impossible for her to prepare a bomb to deal with us. She can't run around with a bomb with her."
Conan gestured: "I thought so too, but this may be the bomb she used to prepare for the mission."
Huiyuan gestured: "In that case, why did she use it for us?"
Conan smiled wryly and gestured: "Maybe she has prepared more than one."
Haibara thought for a while, and gestured: "A bomb with a satellite positioning system and a pressure sensing device should be placed on a moving object."
Conan gestured: "The most likely thing is someone's car. As soon as the person got in the car, the bomb was activated."
Huiyuan gestured: "Then, she gave us half an hour to leave, which means that the action is within half an hour."
Conan gestured: "I thought so too, but now there is no way to fight back."
Haibara motioned Conan to look into the distance, where Dr. Ari, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were there.
Conan shook his head and gestured, "We can't involve them."
Huiyuan gestured and said, "I know, I mean the "Run-Away" program group."
Conan's eyes lit up, and he understood what Haibara meant, that he was rubbing the camera to inform the investigation bureau.
Conan thought for a while and gestured: "No, it's too dangerous. People from the investigation bureau can see this TV program, and people from the organization may also see it."
Huiyuan gestured and said: "However, the people in the organization won't care about our two children, and the people in the investigation bureau will definitely be alert to your strange behavior."
Conan froze for a moment, and gestured: "I really didn't expect that you would think so. I thought you would be afraid of showing your face."
Huiyuan gestured: "You are the one who shows up, I will cover my head and face with an umbrella."
Conan was speechless for a moment, it was too straightforward, and he was sold directly.
Huiyuan continued to gesture: "Actually, we still have a choice."
Conan gestured: "I know, it's Yamazaki. I have to admit that it might be faster and safer for him to come forward, but he won't help us catch Belmode."
Huiyuan was silent for a moment, and gestured: "It's not a good choice to capture Belmode. Sometimes I think, because she is alive, we are alive. If it were a different person, maybe we would have been exposed long ago."
Conan gestured: "If you catch Belmode, you can lift the veil of the organization, and we will be fine."
Haibara fell silent again, with a heavy heart.
When the organization's affairs come to light, her affairs will also be known to the authorities. At that time, her fate will not be in her hands, and she may become a guinea pig.
Then she would rather die, because she ate Aptx4869 and committed suicide in order not to be a guinea pig. ...
