Chapter 37 Chapter 37
◎A family of three sets out to find eight eggs◎
After hearing that the bomb was used to blow up the dungeon, Mu'an Jiaxi panicked and said again, "We have no idea where he planted the bomb. And with the dungeon's current condition, finding the bomb is even more difficult."
Amuro Toru picked up the document, flipping through it. "All of these materials were purchased mixed in with the construction supplies. It records that there were three people responsible for purchasing materials during the construction period: Manager Xiong, the designer, and Akira Takano, the purchasing manager."
She turned sideways to look at the label on the door. "This happens to be the purchasing manager's office."
Amuro Toru put down the documents, took out the lists one by one, folded them diagonally and put them in his pocket. Then he picked up the kid and walked out. "Finding the bomb is the most important thing now. We can deal with the rest after we're safe."
Seeing this, Mu'an Jiaxi hurriedly followed, not forgetting to turn off the lights before leaving.
They followed the passage back to the original shelter. As they entered, they were surprised to see people who had supposedly taken refuge elsewhere reappearing there. Upon seeing Xiaolan, Sonoko, and the others, Mu'an Jiaxi was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Why are you here? How did you get here?"
Xiaolan pointed to Yuanzi next to her and explained, "Yuanzi brought us here."
Sonoko raised her head and said proudly, "At the critical moment, you still have to rely on me, Suzuki Sonoko, to take action."
Listening to them chattering about this and that for a long time without getting to the point, my curiosity was piqued, and I asked anxiously, "What's going on? Stop keeping me in suspense and explain it quickly."
Sera Masumi, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to explain, "Let me explain. Sonoko remembered she had seen a topographical map of this place before. There was a hidden passage that led to various places. We found it and followed it here."
When Amuro Toru heard this, he immediately asked, "Where is that passage? Can you take me there now?"
Everyone's attention shifted to him. Xiaolan then noticed the little kid in his arms and asked curiously, "Hey, where did this kid come from, Mr. Amuro?"
Mu'an Jiaxi jumped out to explain, "I picked this up on the road." He added, "We can talk after we get out. Now, can you take us to that passage?"
They both had serious expressions, as if something had happened.
Yuanzi was confused about the situation, but nodded and said, "Okay, follow me."
Conan and Sera Masumi, who were standing by, noticed something was wrong at the same time and caught up with him in tacit understanding. Conan asked first, "What happened to Mr. Amuro?"
As they walked, Amuro Toru briefly explained what he had just found out. Not only Conan and Sera Masumi, but also Ran in front and Sonoko who was leading the way heard it. They stopped and shouted in unison: "Bomb!"
"Miss Sonoko mentioned there was a passage, so I asked her to take me there. I wanted to use it to find the location of the bomb. After all, it's impossible to install it in a conspicuous place. If this passage is really connected in all directions, there's a high possibility that the bomb is installed there."
Seeing that Amuro Toru was explaining endlessly without any sign of anxiety, Muan Jiaxi couldn't help but interrupt, "We'll talk about the explanation later. Now it's important to find the bomb. Sonoko, take us there quickly."
Yuanzi came to his senses, realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly took them to the passage.
The place wasn't far away, and the group soon reached their destination. Mu'an Jiaxi looked at the wall and couldn't see any signs of a door. He was about to ask when Yuanzi picked up a piece of wire from the ground and inserted it into the wall. With a twist of his hand, a crack miraculously appeared in the wall, growing larger and larger. In a few seconds, the wall that originally had no door slowly opened up into a door.
The group entered the passage. As the door closed, the lights inside automatically came on. Because the passage was so large, Amuro Toru was the first to express his opinion. He suggested that working in pairs, separately, would be more efficient. They would primarily search for any unusual objects at the exits.
Everyone agreed and followed his idea. Xiaolan and Conan were in one group and walked to the left, while Sonoko and Sera Masumi were in one group and walked to the right.
Amuro Toru and Meian Jiaxi walked forward. They walked along the passage, carefully checking every corner, not missing a single one.
The two of them had a clear division of labor, one on each side. As Mu An Jiaxi was searching here, he suddenly saw what looked like something in a corner not far away.
She walked over and saw the object closer. It was a garbage bag. There was a trash can next to it. She thought it would be fine. Just as she was about to leave, she thought it was better to be cautious and take a look.
She opened the trash bag, and found it was filled with nothing but crumpled paper balls. Disappointed, she let go of the bag and walked away, completely baffled: Where is it? She'd already searched almost everywhere. Where else could he have put the bomb? Could he have really put it in the mall? This question was too mind-boggling, right?
Suddenly she remembered something and felt a little annoyed: Don’t I have special abilities? I can just check and find out.
He closed his eyes and recalled the names of the three people. After all, they were the ones who bought the materials, so he would start with them. After a few seconds, Mu An Jiaxi suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself: So it was him.
Then she walked back to the garbage bag and reached into the trash to search. Suddenly, she paused, then retracted her hand. She squatted down and carefully cleared out the garbage. When all the garbage was cleared away, a cube-shaped object tied with tape was revealed.
It was a bomb, with a piece of fuse still hanging on the edge. Muan Jiaxi hurriedly looked for Amuro Toru, but he was nowhere to be found. Helplessly, he could only shout, "Mr. Amuro, I found something."
She didn't dare call out the name of the thing directly, for fear that there might be other people in the passage and cause panic.
As she finished speaking, Toru Amuro walked out from the other side, holding a bomb that looked exactly like the one in the garbage bag. It was obvious that they were made by the same person.
Mu'an Jiaxi saw what he had in his hand and said, "You found it too. Where did you find it?"
Toru Amuro put down the bomb first, then handed the little brat to her.
Mu'an Jiaxi quickly took the little kid and held him in his arms.
He checked the bomb in the garbage bag and said, "I found it in the trash can around the corner."
After checking the bomb, he reached out and took the bomb he brought with him and put it into the garbage bag. "This is not a time bomb. It won't explode as long as it is not ignited."
"Oh." After saying that, Mu'an Jiaxi stood up, holding the little brat in his arms, and continued, "I saw the fuse. Mr. Amuro, I'm not completely ignorant. Although I'm a complete novice in this area, at least I can tell which one is a time bomb."
Amuro Toru said: "………………", holding the garbage bag, his eyes revealed helplessness, and sighed: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Seeing his expression, Mu'an Jiaxi burst out laughing. "I was just kidding, but you took it seriously. Of course I know you didn't mean it. I just noticed you've been looking so sullen ever since you found out about the bomb, so I wanted you to relax and stop looking like someone's dead. Things aren't the worst yet."
A strange look flashed across Amuro Toru's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Let's go."
Looking at his departing back, Mu'an Jiaxi shrugged his shoulders, looked at the little brat in his arms, and said with a smile: "Our little brat will also accompany Uncle Amuro, right?"
The little brat blinked his big watery eyes, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, saying softly and cutely, "Yeah!"
She laughed and praised, "Haha, so good."
Holding the little kid, he caught up with Toru Amuro who was walking away.
They continued searching along the way. Since they learned that the bombs were placed in trash cans or trash bags, the two paid special attention to the trash cans. Along the way, they found a total of three bombs, including the original two.
The last one was found behind the trash can, wrapped in a metal box the same color as the bin, clinging to the outer container. At first glance, it didn't seem out of place, but she couldn't help but notice that An Jiaxi's cheating had already known the script, while Amuro Toru was relying on pure vigilance. As she reached for it, she was quicker than Amuro Toru and pulled out the metal box stuck to the back. Opening it, she found a bomb.
After they got the bomb, their road came to an end.
Just then, Sera Masumi and Sonoko came out of a side passage. Sera Masumi was holding a bomb of the same size. Seeing them, she asked, "Did you find it?"
Toru Amuro raised his arm holding the bag and said, "We found three." Then he opened the bag and asked her to put the bombs in.
Just as Sera Masumi put the bomb into the garbage bag, a man suddenly ran out from the passage on the other side, his tone anxious and his expression panicked, "Quick, quick, there's a time bomb over there, it's going to explode in ten minutes, Conan is over there now, you guys go quickly."
It was Ran. Upon hearing this, the others immediately turned and ran towards the passage she had come from, sprinting madly inside. Amuro Toru and Sera Masumi were in the front, Ran in the middle, and Meian Jiaxi and Sonoko were at the end. After all, she was holding someone in her arms, so this was already her fastest pace.
Not long after, Mu'an Jiaxi and Yuanzi were left behind, and there was no trace of the three people in front of them.
Mu'an Jiaxi was already panting so hard that he almost passed out. His stomach was cramping and the pain was unbearable. Finally, he gave up and stopped. "I can't do it anymore. You go first. I'll go over slowly."
Hearing this, Yuanzi wanted to take the little kid from her arms to lighten her burden, "Give me the kid, so you can relax a little."
She waved her hand and said, "No, I just pushed too hard and had a stomach cramp. I can still hold the baby."
"Okay, then be careful, I'll wait for you out front." Seeing this, Yuanzi didn't say anything else and left.
Mu'an Jiaxi and the little brat walked forward like this. When they passed another bend, they suddenly heard a slight noise. They looked around and found nothing unusual. Just when they thought they were too sensitive and overthinking, they heard another noise. The sound was louder than before. They could hear it a little more clearly and it was the sound of talking.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Mu An Jiaxi followed the sound and finally found the person behind an iron gate. It was a thin man in a white shirt and suit pants. He had his back to her and was squatting against the wall. He was trembling all over and kept muttering, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Because of the angle of view, she couldn't see what the man was doing.
He walked up to the man and patted his shoulder, wanting to ask him what was wrong. With this small action, the man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and the scissors in his hand fell to the ground.
Mu An Jiaxi finally saw what was in front of him. It was a time bomb. The numbers on it kept dropping. 8:89, 8:88, 8:87. Every second seemed to be stabbing her heart. Boom! Boom!
Without hesitation, she turned around and walked away. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her legs tightly. The person was very strong, as if begging for help, "Please, save me! Please!"
Mu Anjiaxi struggled desperately and kicked him, trying to free his legs, but it was useless. He was like someone who had been thirsty in the desert for a long time and finally saw the water. His mind was already unclear, and he didn't even see who was coming. He just thought that there was someone and he was saved.
"Let me go, I can't save you, let me go." She kicked him hard.
"Save me." The other party seemed to only know this sentence and kept repeating it.
What a joke, Mu'an Jiaxi doesn't even know how to take apart eight eggs, how can she save them? Don't get yourself involved.
The other party was so stubborn that she had to save him. It was impossible to escape this way. She quickly thought of a solution and pretended to compromise: "Okay, I will save him, but you let me go first. How can I save you like this?"
As he spoke, he secretly put the little kid down and gestured with his hand to tell her to go aside so that she wouldn't get hurt.
The little brat was very tactful and used his hands and feet to quickly crawl to a safe distance and sat down to wait for her.
On this side, the man heard her words and immediately let her go. At this moment, Mu'an Jiaxi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He picked up the tape from somewhere and quickly tied it on him. He then picked up the stick next to him and fixed him between the two pipes.
After everything was done, she looked at the man in front of her and found that he looked familiar. She felt that she had seen him somewhere before. After thinking carefully, she remembered that this was the designer.
He looked so strange, like a madman just now, and now he was asleep again. He realized something was wrong. Mu Anjiaxi used his supernatural powers to investigate and finally understood why he was like this.
"I didn't expect him to be so cruel. I felt a little sympathetic just now."
Then she ignored the designer, walked to the wall, picked up the bomb, picked up the little kid, and went to find Amuro Toru and the others.
