The pitch-black vertical tunnel is just the right size for an adult.
Because they went up the stairs when they were locked up here, the two of them used flashlights to shine on the ground and roughly judged that the height of the entire "well" was about one floor.
Fortunately, there was a not-too-thick vertical iron pipe in the middle. The three of them slid down the iron pipe and quickly arrived in the well.
After going down to the bottom of the well, Conan noticed that there was a square tunnel close to the wall on the second floor, which led to nowhere. A gust of cold wind told the three people that this was the ventilation area.
Because this horizontal tunnel is very low, adults have to squat to move forward, so Conan uses a flashlight to clear the way forward.
The tunnel was very short and they soon reached the end. They also understood why the criminals had sealed the windows but did not pay much attention to this more obvious thing.
Because there is only one rectangular window on the wall at the end, and there is a rootless iron rod welded in the middle, which is basically a dead end.
"No, I can't move it at all!" Ryosuke and Hattori Heiji tried to move together, but found that the iron railing didn't move at all.
"This seems to be the back of this building." Because the window is close to the horizon, Conan can easily see the situation outside.
The ground was covered with discarded dead leaves and overgrown with weeds.
However, just when Ryosuke was feeling a little discouraged, Hattori Heiji discovered that the end of the middle railing was a little different from the other railings. It was more severely corroded and could not even maintain an upright column.
Now all three of them became excited. Although this rusty and slightly bent pillar was half rotten, it was the brightest thing in the hearts of the three people at this moment!
Because you are the hope of escape!!
If this thing is broken, even though adults can't get out of this space, it will be absolutely no problem for Conan, who is sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes high, sometimes low, to get out.
If an ordinary child goes out, he may end up in a desolate mountain or wilderness, or a place with abandoned buildings. If he runs a long way to find a place to call for help, he may worry about whether there will be an accident. But Conan has no problem at all!
It's completely adult thinking, able to calmly judge the surrounding environment, and there's a headset phone. Even if you can't find a public telephone booth, you can find a place with a signal to make a call.
"Hurry up! Find the key! Or something else!" Ryosuke said excitedly, "Every second counts now!"
"I feel like you've suddenly become very active." Urged by Ryosuke, Hattori Heiji took out his keys and said with a smile.
"After all, with you two here, I see hope!"
Ryosuke had already taken the key and started cutting it. His hands kept moving as he spoke, "God knows how desperate I was at the beginning, but in you two I saw a possibility of escape.
Even if there is only a tiny spark, I will try my best to grab it. My wife and unborn baby are waiting for me!
And seeing you two guys who are younger than me working hard, I also feel that I can't give up. I should do this just because of my age!"
"By the way, Ryosuke-san, how old are you? I always feel like you're quite young."
Conan, who was standing aside and left idle because the space could only accommodate two people, couldn't help but ask after hearing what Ryosuke said.
"Just turned twenty."
"He became a father just after turning twenty?" Even Hattori Heiji was surprised this time.
Hearing this, Ryosuke smiled and said, "Although I don't have any personal experience of being a father yet, this is the first time I have a so-called complete family, so I cherish it very much."
"Eh? Where are your parents?" Conan asked in surprise.
"Not long after I was born, he died in an accident on a business trip, so I was raised by my grandfather."
When Ryosuke mentioned his grandfather, he couldn't help but laugh helplessly and said, "He made his voice in Showa, and he has a very stubborn personality.
When I told him my girlfriend was pregnant, he was furious, saying things like, "How could a student do such a thing?" and that there was no reason to help someone who was about to become a father.
"Does that mean I'm severing ties with you?" Conan asked.
"Well...you could say that..." Ryosuke nodded.
"It's not easy for you either." Hattori Heiji sighed, "Make peace with Grandpa after you get out this time."
"Of course." Ryosuke nodded and said, "You will forgive me for your great-grandson's sake!"
Just like that, the three of them took the key and began their escape mission in the dark tunnel, bit by bit, like "grinding an iron rod into a needle."
…………..
While Conan and others were trying to find ways to save themselves, Tang Ze and others were also busy this night.
The ticket stub was found after everyone's screening and was sent to the forensic department for fingerprint extraction along with the red button that was suspected to have been pulled from the clown.
Although current technology is still very backward, the chaotic timeline jump key and fingerprint library have been established.
Although it is not perfect at present, most of the data collected are from criminals with previous criminal records and serving criminals, and the comparison speed is slow and there are various problems, but it is also a channel to quickly identify criminals.
Of course, it is also possible that he is a guy with no criminal record, which would be more troublesome, but fortunately this did not happen.
But after entering the fingerprint into the database for comparison, an incredible guy popped up unexpectedly. Many people even felt that it would be better if the owner of the fingerprint could not be found.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not kidding!"
Seeing the information of the person in front of them, the criminals present were extremely solemn.
Ueno Hirayama, male, 43 years old, was once an outstanding graduate of the National Guard University and has been trained as a candidate cadre of the Guard Corps.
However, he was fired because of a conflict with his superiors over institutional issues.
Later, he joined the mercenaries and was active in various battlefields. He returned to his country three years ago and soon became a dangerous A-level saboteur because of his radical methods and speeches.
But they never imagined that a simple kidnapping case would be linked to a wanted saboteur! !
This is a problem. If you fall into the hands of kidnappers, the most they can ask for is a ransom. Although the risk of killing the hostage is also very high, at least your safety is guaranteed if you don't get the money.
But if it falls into the hands of saboteurs, they will shoot the hostages without mercy if you are not careful, and the danger level will increase by more than one level.
Looking at the other party's experience, even Tang Ze found it difficult. This guy is completely a veteran of the battlefield, and the difficulty of rescuing the hostages has increased dramatically.
It can be said that the hostages' chances of survival dropped several notches instantly! !
