Amid the uneasiness of countless people, the zero o'clock bell has already sounded.
The explosion did not come as expected. Everyone looked blank at first and remained quiet for a long time, as if they were in disbelief.
It was not until it was repeatedly confirmed that the explosion had not actually occurred that the cheers came belatedly, but were particularly grand.
The host sitting on the TV station's helicopter was also explaining this scene.
"The bomber informed the police that the bomb would explode completely at zero o'clock, blowing up the entire building of Mihua City Hall. At this moment, the hour hand was already pointing to zero o'clock, and the minute hand was already pointing to five minutes, but the explosion did not happen."
"The bomb has been successfully defused and the lives of those still in the building are out of danger."
"The police have successfully entered the building and launched a rescue operation."
"We can see that the crowd below is cheering..."
The camera focused on the cheering crowd below at the right time.
After Mao Lilan defused the bomb, he finally managed to leave the building with the help of police rescue workers.
"Xiaolan-"
"dad……"
The moment Mouri Kogoro saw Mouri Lan, he rushed up and looked left and right to check whether his daughter was injured. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his daughter had suffered too much this time.
I even felt that Mao Lilan lost ten pounds because of this.
"Sister Xiaolan, it's great that you're okay!" Edogawa Conan emerged from the crowd and ran to Mao Lilan and said with a thankful face.
"Yes...it's all because of Shinichi..." Mao Lilan said hesitantly.
"It turns out that Brother Shinichi showed up." Edogawa Conan showed an inexplicable proud expression on his face.
Then he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly became solemn and anxious.
"Officer Megure, we must catch Moritani Teiji! Otherwise, he will continue to plant bombs in other places!" He turned to Officer Megure and shouted.
However, the expressions of Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori were a little subtle and complicated, even a little embarrassed.
After all, Moritani Teiji was hanging around them, but they didn't notice each other. It wasn't until the other person was shot that they found out that the deceased was Moritani Teiji.
If you mention this kind of thing, your professionalism will be doubted no matter what you think.
The two looked at each other, and Officer Memu spoke.
"Well... Conan, Teiji Moritani can't plant bombs anywhere else..." Officer Megure touched his nose awkwardly.
"Have you been caught already?!" Edogawa Conan's tone was a little surprised, but also a little happy.
But... the police actually caught Moritani Teiji? Officer Megure's efficiency was really high this time.
But why do they look so embarrassed?
Isn't that how it works?
"In fact... not long ago, Moritani Teiji disguised himself and blended into the crowd, standing outside to watch..." Officer Megure's expression looked even more embarrassed.
"Then...he was hit in the head by a bullet that came from nowhere..."
"Just like that... he died." He told the whole story with complicated emotions.
The expression on Edogawa Conan's face was already stiff.
Moritani Teiji died like this?
This guy who had forced himself to live and die with Xiaolan was shot dead in public?
So easy.
"Then... where is the sniper?" Edogawa Conan asked quickly.
"We have already had people check the rooftops of the surrounding buildings, and no traces were found." Officer Memu shook his head, his voice low.
"How could this happen..." Edogawa Conan clenched his fists.
The death of Teiji Moritani has become another unsolved mystery for the police.
…
Punishment room.
Suzi did not use other tools, nor did he punish the man who was hung on the wall.
He just stood aside and thought for a moment.
"I heard that Avicril always used soft whips when punishing you. How pitiful..."
"It must be tiring to crack the whip all the time." The man with a deep voice like a lion who just woke up said.
The blond man dismissed this, didn't even bother to pay attention, and didn't even look at the other person.
Ever since he knew that the person who punished him was Suzi, he knew that he would be punished more severely than before.
Unlike Avicril, Suzi will not show mercy, and...
The strength of adults is also different from the strength of teenagers.
He has already made preparations.
"I don't have the patience like him. It's too tiring, so I'm going to change to a lighter punishment method." The man in black, whose face could not be seen at all, continued to speak.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die." The voice was lazy and calm.
"It's just punishment. I won't kill someone intentionally." When he said these words, his eyes did not even open completely, but were half-closed as if he was very sleepy.
"Jialm, prepare the things to apply the facial mask." Suzi casually ordered the watchdog of the base.
"Instruction received, please wait a moment." The mechanical voice replied.
Applying a facial mask...? Who should I apply a facial mask to? What does it mean?
The smart AI didn't make Suzi wait long, and quickly delivered the materials that would be used.
A stack of paper that is a little different from ordinary paper.
It was a bit unclear in the dimness what kind of paper it was.
"Apply it to him, and be careful not to let his head move around." Suzi continued to order.
He looked really lazy, telling the AI to do the whole thing, even covering the blond man's face with paper, but he didn't do it himself.
Just stood aside and watched.
Toru Amuro's head was held down by a pair of robotic hands, making him unable to move.
Another pair of robotic hands held a piece of tissue paper and covered his face.
"You can't apply a dry mask. Just add water." The lazy male voice continued.
Then water fell from the top, and the thin and continuous water, like a spray, wet the paper on Amuro Toru's face, making the paper soft, moist, and docile, sticking tightly to Amuro Toru's face.
"Someone told me that most ordinary people will suffocate and die after holding on to the fifth one, but I think you should be able to hold on longer. If it were me, I should be able to hold on longer." Su
Zi said this, looking at the man whose face was covered with paper, as if he was really applying a facial mask, and spoke in a casual tone.
The one who shared this knowledge with him was, of course, Kabados.
Calling this method of punishment a facial mask is naturally their own interest.
With every deliberately slowed breathing rhythm, one can feel the moist and cold air. The paper slowly dries as time goes by, but it still sticks to the man's face, gradually affecting his breathing.
"Second picture." Suzi sat down cross-legged in the corner and continued to give instructions.
Toru Amuro heard the other party's unconcealed yawn.
The robot hand once again held the paper close to him, covered his face, and then continued to sprinkle water.
As the paper becomes moist and soft again, breathing becomes smoother again.
However, as time passed, the two papers were stuck together and became half dry, making it more difficult to breathe.
If you want to breathe fresh air, you have to breathe harder, but the harder you work, the tighter the paper will be, which will affect subsequent breathing.
But if you don't breathe hard, you will suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
"The third picture." The figure in the darkness continued to order calmly.
