"Hey, are you serious?!"
Just when Conan was relieved to learn that the bombs were all fake, Maori Kogoro, who was unaware of the situation, was horrified: "Are you saying that if we can't find out who mailed the red T-shirt in that backpack, that guy will detonate the bomb!?"
"Yes, that's right."
The middle-aged man, carrying a blue satchel, said, "That's what the masked man who strapped a bomb to me told me."
"And is that man sure that the sender is on this floor now..." Kogoro Mouri looked around, as if trying to find out who the owner of the red T-shirt was.
"That's right!"
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and said in horror: "That man also said that if the other party came out on his own, he would not detonate the bomb!"
Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, also looked extremely unhappy when he heard this. Looking at the people whispering around him, he couldn't help but shout, "Hey, you all heard what he said!
Although the specific situation is not clear, I don’t know why you sent out so many “red T-shirts” as a prank!
But if you listen to me now, come out now!"
After hearing what Kogoro Mori said, everyone present looked at the people around them, hoping that someone would step forward to resolve the crisis.
But unfortunately, although there was a commotion in the crowd, no one stood up. Obviously, no one was willing to stand up at such a dangerous time.
“No one is willing to come out…”
Kogoro Mouri looked at the crowd with a gloomy expression, but he was not surprised at all.
After all, if he were the person who mailed the "red T-shirt" in such a dangerous situation, he would not dare to stand up casually.
If the bomber hiding behind the scenes doesn't keep his word and just detonates the bomb to kill him, everything will be over soon.
So even though Kogoro Mouri shouted for people to come forward, he felt relieved when he saw that no one was there.
As a criminal, he naturally knew how to deal with crises. The shout he just made was just to appease the bomber hiding in the crowd.
Of course, if the other party can't bear the pressure and comes out, then Kogoro Mouri will immediately take the other party away from the crowd to prevent the other party from killing him directly.
“U-Um…”
After seeing this scene, the middle-aged man stammered at Maori Kogoro and said, "That person said to stop the escalator and the elevator is not allowed to approach this floor."
"So that's how it is. So, until we find the sender, we're going to trap everyone here and hold them hostage?" Kogoro Mouri clicked his tongue unhappily.
The conversation between the two was also heard by all the customers in the mall. For a moment, everyone's face turned pale.
"How could this be..."
“I don’t want it, I don’t want it!!”
Upon hearing this, all the guests stepped back, and some could not bear the pressure and shouted to press the elevator button nearby to leave.
People tend to follow the crowd. When they saw the man pressing the elevator button, they followed him subconsciously without even thinking about whether the bomb on the middle-aged man next to him would explode.
Of course, some smart people ran to the escalator. After all, even if there is a power outage, you can still go directly to the escalator.
"Hey! Wait!!"
Kogoro Mouri looked at the crowded and chaotic crowd and shouted, but the panicked crowd did not listen to Kogoro Mouri at all.
Just when a group of people were frantically trying to escape, the paper bag next to the elevator suddenly exploded, and the next moment white smoke came out of the paper bag.
The crowd running towards the escalator also saw white smoke coming out of the paper bag placed there.
For a moment, the frightened guests ran back and dared not take another step forward.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Conan pulled Kogoro Mouri and Ran aside away from the middle-aged man with a bomb tied to his body.
Although he appeared to be concerned about the other party's safety, Conan actually just didn't want the other party to hear their conversation.
After all, from the moment he knew that the bomb was fake, the unlucky guy who was found by the criminal had the possibility of directing and acting in the drama himself.
The white smoke coming out of the paper bag next to the elevator certainly caused chaos at the scene, but in Conan's eyes it further verified the truthfulness of what Tang Ze said!
In the text message, Tang Ze checked the bombs in the paper bag and found that they were all fake, and now it has been confirmed that they will not explode.
Although Conan did not check the bomb on the middle-aged man in front of him, he believed in Tang Ze's judgment.
After all, he had witnessed the magic of Tang Zechao's sense of smell many times. If the other party said that the bomb on him was fake, then it was fake!
This is not only a trust in Tang Ze's sense of smell, but also comes from his trust in Tang Ze himself!
"Uncle! Sister Xiaolan, come with me!"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Conan pulled one person each and moved them aside, away from the middle-aged man carrying the bomb.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing!"
Maori Kogoro was pulled away by Conan, his face full of anxiety: "There is a riot going on now. If we let people leave, the bomber will detonate the bomb and it will be troublesome!"
"Don't worry." Conan pulled the two of them down and said in a low voice, "Detective Tang Ze has already checked the bombs and confirmed that they are all fake!"
"What! Are you serious?!" Xiaolan was surprised when she heard that, and she relaxed completely. It was obvious that she believed Tang Ze's words.
Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, was even more surprised and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone calm down! It's okay!!"
