Even the counter clerk had never heard of the so-called "red T-shirt".
"Really? It's already past one." In front of the elevator door, Maori Kogoro looked at the watch on his wrist and said impatiently, "Why haven't you come yet?"
"Maybe something delayed us." Xiaolan looked around and said, "Let's look for it again..."
"I quit, let's go!" Maori Kogoro looked at the growing crowd around him, walked towards the elevator impatiently, and kept pressing the down button: "Let's go back now!"
"What's with this red paper bag?"
Compared to Kogoro Mouri who kept pressing the down button, Conan noticed the paper bag next to the elevator and looked surprised.
"Could someone have forgotten to take it?" Xiaolan supported herself on her knees and bent down to check the contents of the paper bag.
"Um, um... I advise you not to touch that bag casually..."
At this moment, a middle-aged man behind him pointed at the pink paper bag next to the elevator with a trembling voice: "Because, because there might be a bomb in it..."
"Eh? A bomb!" Xiaolan and Conan turned around in surprise, and there was a look of horror on their faces when they looked at the man.
"bomb!?"
Hearing Xiaolan's exclamation, Maori Kogoro, who was pressing the elevator button, immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the bald middle-aged man behind him with a questioning look on his face: "How did you know that there was a bomb in that paper bag!?"
"That's because... I'm in the same situation..."
The middle-aged man unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it open as he spoke, a look of despair on his face: "That's why I know..."
Conan and others watched the man open his coat and saw the densely packed bombs tied around his upper body!
There were two rows of bombs tied to the man's body, four in each row, making him look bloated.
But none of these could compare to the horror brought by the bomb.
One bomb is scary enough, not to mention that this middle-aged man has eight of them tied to his body!
Almost in an instant, Xiaolan screamed in fright, and even Kogoro Mouri and Conan were terrified.
Because of Xiaolan's scream, people near the elevator heard the sound and moved closer to look inquiringly.
It is human nature to watch the excitement, but when they gathered around and saw the bomb tied to the man, they all showed fear.
"Hey! Why are you wearing this thing?" Kogoro Mouri looked at the other party with a look of horror and said anxiously.
"I don't know either!"
The middle-aged man covered the spread-out clothes with a look of panic on his face: "I was going to the bathroom, but suddenly someone knocked me unconscious.
When I came to, I saw a man with his face covered tying this thing on me.
Not only that, the man also threatened me, saying that in front of the escalator and in front of the stairs there were paper bags that were the same as the ones you saw in the elevator here.
If you don’t do as he says, he will just detonate the bomb…”
"Anyway, call the police first in this situation!!"
Maori Kogoro immediately took out his cell phone after hearing what the man said, "In this case, we must contact the police immediately..."
"Don't call the police! That person said that if he saw any signs of the police approaching the department store, he would immediately press the detonation button!"
The middle-aged man sweated profusely and trembled as he said, "Also, if anyone escapes during this process, it will also cause an explosion..."
"How could it be..."
"No way..."
"So what should we do..."
After hearing the conversation between Kogoro Mouri and the middle-aged man, the people near the elevator became agitated, but they were also frightened by the power of the bomb and did not dare to escape.
Some of the timid ones even hugged their companions.
"So what are the prisoner's demands?" asked Kogoro Mouri in a deep voice.
"That person said he wanted to find out the true identity of the sender who mailed him thirteen red T-shirts from this backpack..."
Hearing what Kogoro Mouri said, the pale, bald middle-aged man put down the blue bag on his shoulder and explained.
"Red, red T-shirt?!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Kogoro Mouri stuttered unconsciously. He never thought that the client would ask him to conduct an investigation in this way.
Even Conan was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect that the client would force an investigation to such an extreme extent.
Thinking of this, he immediately came to his senses, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Tang Ze to explain the situation.
After all, he had previously informed Tang Ze that Judy and Camille were investigating the "fake Akai" in the mall, but he did not tell him that they would encounter such a dangerous situation.
Now the whereabouts of Judy and others are obviously no longer important. The most urgent task is to resolve the bomb crisis and save the customers of the Rice Flower Mall.
"He said the guy who sent him this red T-shirt must be on this floor!"
The middle-aged man's words caused a commotion again, and Conan did not expect that the criminal was so sure that the person he was looking for was on this floor.
I looked around subconsciously, and saw fear on the faces of the densely packed guests.
But what he didn't see was that behind the crowd, the man with squinting eyes and the one with scars on his face were watching this scene.
The man with an ordinary appearance lowered his head to check the content of the text message after receiving it.
