Chapter 39 Chapter 39
◎Everyone in the organization is talented◎
After the detectives exchanged glances, they stood up at the same time and walked to the manager named Kumamoto Kenichi, and each of them sat around him on a bench.
Kenichi Kumamoto looked at the people who suddenly came over, before he could speak.
Amuro Toru asked first: "Manager Kumamoto, don't you have anything to say about this bombshell?"
Upon hearing this, Kumamoto Kenichi remained calm and composed, feigning bewilderment as he replied, "I didn't even know there was a bomb here."
He then added, "As the general manager of the dungeon, I have unshirkable responsibility for what happened. I apologize to you all. It's all my fault that you've fallen into this dangerous situation."
Seira Masumi, who was sitting to Amuro Toru's left, lost her temper and didn't have time to play Tai Chi with him. She said directly, "Manager Kumamoto, you were the one who planted the bomb, weren't you?"
Kumamoto Kenichi's expression immediately changed, and he angrily said, "You are slandering me!"
Conan looked at Kenichi Kumamoto and said seriously, "We have evidence, and this evidence was left by you yourself."
Amuro Toru took out the list and held it in the air, "The evidence is on these lists."
Kenichi Kumamoto still tried to argue desperately, "What kind of evidence is this?"
Sera Masumi pulled a piece of paper from Amuro Toru's hand and pointed at the signature on it. "This is the evidence. The signature above is the evidence. Although the circled purchase record has the signatures of the designer and the purchasing manager, a simple comparison will reveal that they were all signed by the same person."
He handed it to him and added, "If professionals can examine the handwriting, they'll know the answer. The same goes for the fingerprints on the bomb. The police can easily find out who it belongs to. Are you still trying to quibble?"
Kenichi Kumamoto's hands were shaking as he held the list, his momentum plummeting instantly. "I..."
She covered her face with her hands, dropped the list in her hand, and soon she began to sob. "I had no choice but to do this. My son has cancer and our family is broke. I had no choice but to do this. I had evil intentions and embezzled the project funds for the underground city, cutting corners on the work."
"I also know that I am guilty. When building the dungeon, I used a large amount of counterfeit materials, which led to serious quality problems and even safety hazards. Knowing this, I was afraid of causing a disaster, so I secretly bought the materials for making explosives in multiple batches under the company's name during procurement. I assembled them myself, and finally calculated the time to ignite the explosives the day before the opening. This would make everyone mistakenly think that it was done by a competitor of the Suzuki Group, in order to attack the Suzuki Group and cover up the quality problems. However, I never expected that the opening ceremony would be suddenly rescheduled. Due to time constraints, I had no choice but to choose to blow up the dungeon on the opening day. I thought it was so covert that no one would be able to find out it was me, but in the end, it was discovered."
Several people expressed sympathy for his plight, but said this was no excuse for committing a crime. Amuro Toru accused him, "Don't you know that this is dangerous? The amount you have is enough to kill us."
Kenichi Kumamoto shook his head in panic and defended himself, "I really didn't have that idea. I used the bomb just to let others know it collapsed due to explosion. I really didn't mean to hurt anyone. I didn't expect the quality to be so poor. It collapsed before I could even explode it."
Conan sneered in his heart and ruthlessly exposed him, "But after you discovered the underground city collapsed, you didn't take out the bomb immediately, but activated the time bomb. Doesn't your action show that you want us to be buried with you? You said you had no intention of harming anyone, but if it really exploded, how would you compensate for so many lives? Don't you feel guilty?"
Muan Jiaxi sat there and watched the situation over there. Although he couldn't hear them talking, when he saw Kumamoto Kenichi suddenly cover his face with his hands, he knew it was almost time.
He immediately walked over with the little kid in his arms and just happened to hear what he said after Conan finished his retort.
She couldn't help but question him, "Look at the child in my arms. She's only one or two years old. Her life has just begun. She hasn't had time to see much of the world. If she loses her life because of you, don't you think it's unfair? Your child's life is a life, but her life is not a life, right?"
Kenichi Kumamoto saw the little girl in her arms. She was very cute and she grinned at him when he looked at her.
As Mu'an Jiaxi spoke, Kumamoto Kenichi buried his head deeper and deeper, and did not speak for a long time.
Mu'an Jiaxi didn't want to pay any more attention to him. There must be something pitiful about a hateful person.
He was a good father and loved his children very much, but that was not a reason to commit a crime.
No one noticed the commotion here, otherwise he would have been drowned by the spit or beaten to death.
After staying underground for nearly ten hours, there was finally movement outside.
Just as everyone was resting their eyes, they heard a faint sound of turning stones outside. The sensitive detectives stood up instantly after hearing the sound, looked at each other, and quickly ran out to check.
Mu'an Jiaxi also opened his eyes at the sound of running. He looked at the figures leaving, somewhat confused about the situation, and asked blankly, "What happened?"
Xiaolan also shook her head. "I don't know, but judging from their expressions, there must be something going on."
The situation was initially confusing.
Suddenly I remembered something and was surprised. Are the rescuers here?
Soon they came back, and brought back an exciting piece of news, "The rescue team is here." When they heard these words, the scene suddenly became lively and everyone burst into tears of joy.
Although Muan Jiaxi had already guessed the answer, she was still excited after Amuro Toru confirmed it.
Oh my god, I can finally go out!
A few hours later, Mu'an Jiaxi finally regained her sight. When she saw the sun again, oh no, the moon, she felt for the first time that the air above was so pleasant and fragrant.
Although all I smelled was the smell of dust, it made my face red.
It was already evening when they came out, and most of the people had not had water or food for more than ten hours, but it could not resist their high emotions.
Many police officers and rescue workers arrived at the scene, and there was also a group of reporters outside, vying to interview the rescued people.
On this side, Yoshiki Muan and Toru Amuro went to find the police, handed over Kenichi Kumamoto and the evidence to the police, and he was soon taken away.
She also took the opportunity to say: "This child is lost, please find her parents."
The policeman took the little kid from her arms and replied, "Okay."
Before leaving, she told the kid, "Just follow this uncle. He can help you find your parents, okay?"
The little brat looked up at the police officer holding her and nodded at her, "Yeah."
Seeing this, she felt relieved and turned to leave immediately, so she didn't see the little brat pouting and looking like he was about to cry.
In the end, I didn't cry.
After separating from Toru Amuro and the others, she returned home. After a lot of tossing and turning, she finally washed up and went to bed satisfied and fell asleep.
…………
The next morning, Mu'an Jiaxi was eating instant noodles in the living room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."
She glanced at the door, slurped her last mouthful of noodles, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and walked toward the door. As she opened it, she asked, "Who is it?"
As the door opened, he found a stranger he didn't recognize and asked in confusion, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
The other person was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and thin, wearing a sports suit, with a bag slung over his shoulder and a lollipop in his mouth. He extended his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, my last name is Yang, you can just call me Xiao Yang."
Mu An Jiaxi was bewildered, but he politely extended his hand and shook his hand, then asked blankly, "What do you want?"
Seeing her still bewildered, not knowing who he was, Xiao Yang finally remembered that he hadn't yet revealed his identity to her, and immediately said, "I'm a helper, here to assist you in your mission."
As soon as he revealed his identity, Mu An Jiaxi suddenly realized what was going on and immediately welcomed him in.
He walked in very rudely, without even waiting for Mu An Jiaxi to greet him. He walked straight to the sofa and sat down as if he had returned to his own home.
While chewing a lollipop and watching TV, he heard the door close, looked up at the person who came in, and asked, "When does the mission start? Finish it quickly, I want to go home."
Mu'an Jiaxi walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. Hearing the question, he looked at the boy and asked curiously, "Isn't it good here?"
Xiao Yang stretched out and lazily slumped on the sofa. "Before I came to your place, I traveled around Japan and was tired of playing around. Besides, I still have a lot of homework to do at home."
She leaned sideways and continued to ask, "You look like you're still in high school. What year are you in?"
"I'm a sophomore in high school, a student." As he said that, he sat up straight.
Mu'an Jiaxi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder he looked so young. It turned out he was a minor.
Suddenly, he thought of something and his pupils suddenly dilated.
System, you actually abducted a minor!
…………
In the woods outside the city, Gin was pointing a gun at a man's head and said coldly, "Tell me, are you an undercover agent? Why did someone just happen to appear in that building and almost stop our mission? The news must have been leaked by one of you."
The man knelt in front of Gin, trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence, "I... I... It's not me, it's really not me."
Gin kicked him in disgust, and the man immediately fell to the ground. He walked towards the next person with a gun in hand, "Bourbon."
Amuro Toru stood expressionless, letting him hold the gun to his head, and said calmly: "You think it's me, Gin, you are too suspicious. I am not a member of your team. How would I know your mission, and how could I leak it?"
"You are an expert in gathering intelligence. You don't know what you want to know."
"I can't help you saying that. You should investigate the people in your own group more than me. They are more suspicious."
"who."
"Chianti, Macallan, vodka are all possibilities."
Chianti wasn't at the scene because he was on a mission abroad, otherwise he would have cursed at Amuro Toru's words. But Macallan was different. Upon hearing his words, he immediately got up from the ground and hugged Gin's thigh, crying, "Boss, he's slandering me, it's not me, you have to believe me."
Gin was annoyed by the noise and kicked him away again. When he was about to climb up again, he immediately changed his hand and pointed the gun at his head, threatening: "If you dare to climb up again, I will shoot you in the head."
McCarron managed to stop his movements, but he kept shouting, "Boss, I'm really innocent. How could I be an undercover agent? Look at me, I don't look like an undercover agent at all."
Then, as if he had made a decision, he immediately crawled forward a few steps and said seriously, "I have some news that will prove my loyalty."
Gin became interested and asked, "What news?"
"The chairman of the Kido Group has an account book in his possession. He keeps detailed records of every transaction you make. I once secretly learned that this was originally a way for him to leave a way out for himself. The account book was always hidden in his office. But after the assassination attempt, it somehow fell into the hands of the police."
"The account book."
On this side, Vodka also shouted a few words of injustice, then remembered something, and immediately leaned over to Gin's ear and muttered a few words. Gin's expression immediately changed, and the next second he put away his gun and left the scene.
