Chapter 070 V1 Finals (Part 2)
Conan Edogawa stepped on the toilet lid, climbed to the top of the toilet partition, wrapped one end of the retractable belt around the hinge on the vent, then jumped down, tied the other end to the handrail on the wall, and pressed the switch. The blinds at the vent were pulled down and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
He climbed to the top of the partition again, looked inside, and saw the explosive pack not far away.
He immediately went into the ventilation duct and crawled to the explosive pack, which showed that it would explode in less than forty minutes.
He turned on the light on his watch, held it in his mouth, took out a utility knife from his pocket, and opened the shell of the explosive pack. After seeing the circuit clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew~ Fortunately it is just an ordinary C4 bomb and can be dismantled.
With two clicks, the main line was severed. Not only did the countdown fail, but remote control was also impossible.
He pulled the explosive pack down and prepared to return it to the police. Just as he turned around and climbed down, his movements suddenly stopped.
Drop, drop, drop.
Didn't he remove the explosives? Why is there still a sound?
Edogawa Conan suddenly looked up into the depths of the passage. Although the light from his watch was dim, he could still see part of it.
There is a bomb not far away!
He immediately crawled over, adjusted the focus of his tracking glasses, and peered deeper. His pupils suddenly shrank. He immediately looked in the opposite direction, his heart sank.
Throughout the entire passage, there is a bomb every ten meters!
On a more serious note, perhaps the entire ventilation system of the stadium had been filled with explosives. If all of them exploded, the roof of the stadium would immediately collapse!
Conan Edogawa gritted his teeth. There were nearly 20,000 people in this stadium right now! If it exploded, there would be nowhere to escape!
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Officer Megure in Kudo Shinichi's voice.
On the other end of the phone, Inspector Megure exclaimed in shock: "What did you say?! The Schweitzen Adler team's home stadium was planted with explosives?!"
"Yes, and there are quite a few of them. If I'm guessing correctly, all the ventilation ducts should have them. Time is running out, there's no time to dismantle them, so we can only find a way to evacuate the audience first."
"I see. We'll go there now."
After hanging up the phone, Edogawa Conan thought about finding the stadium design and removing the explosives from the supporting pipes. If they couldn't evacuate in time, they could still hold on for a while.
Before he could turn around, a head suddenly appeared from the vent.
"Conan, what are you doing?"
Edogawa Conan was shocked.
It was Higashino Hiroshi! Didn't he hear him calling using Kudo Shinichi's voice?
Dong Yexi asked anxiously: "Did you discover something?"
Conan Edogawa paused and said, "There is a bomb in here!" He crawled back with the dismantled explosive pack and handed it to Higashino Xi, but Higashino Xi suddenly withdrew his hand.
Oh my god! You can’t just pick this thing up!
Edogawa Conan:?
Dong Yexi smiled awkwardly.
But the explosives have been defused, so it's safe... No! The countdown isn't over yet!
Then, Edogawa Conan said, "There are many more inside, one every ten meters!"
Dong Yexi's face turned pale in an instant.
How much? It seems like God is going to kill him!
"Let's run away quickly!" Dong Yexi thought: With so many explosives, it is impossible to dismantle them. The best way is to run!
Edogawa Conan nodded: "I have called the police, the police will be here soon, now we need to evacuate the crowd quickly."
Dong Yexi nodded randomly, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you know who planted the bomb?"
He looked at the suspect's information while running.
Ikenishi Fumpei: A reporter for Nichimi TV and a die-hard Black Wolves fan. He harbors hostility towards the Schweiden Adler team and may do something crazy.
Takeshi Higashimoto is a photographer for Nichimi TV, an amateur volleyball player, and a member of the V3 league. He's unhappy with the Volleyball Federation's plan to reduce the number of V3 leagues, and might do something crazy.
[Hase Kenji] A staff member of the Schweiden-Adler team and a former volleyball player who retired due to injury. Seeing the recent surge in volleyball talent has left him feeling deeply depressed and perhaps even inclined to do something crazy.
Dong Yexi's crisis was entirely due to being affected, so the suspects had no ill will towards him, and there was no way to judge their motives. Aside from the reporter, who probably wouldn't affect the team he supported, the other two looked like they could use the "Eight Eggs" newspaper if they disagreed.
Edogawa Conan shook his head. With so many people in the venue, how could he know who the criminal was? Maybe the criminal had planted the bomb in advance and simply didn't come today.
"What if the criminal uses a remote control to detonate the bomb in advance during the evacuation?" asked Dong Yexi.
Edogawa Conan fell silent.
This is the biggest problem! Expecting prisoners to just wait patiently for the countdown? They don't dare to gamble.
There was no point in the two of them arguing here, so they immediately went to the VIP room to find the chairman of the V1 League and the top management of the two teams. The group didn't believe it at first, but when Edogawa Conan placed the dismantled explosive pack in front of them, everyone immediately retreated and huddled against the wall.
"It's really a bomb?!" The alliance chairman pointed at the explosive pack and said tremblingly.
"Really! It's in all the ventilation ducts now." Dong Yexi said seriously.
"Then, let's run away quickly!" someone screamed.
Dong Yexi looked at him sharply: "You want to run by yourself? Regardless of the audience?" He could see the countdown all the time but he didn't run immediately!
"Of course not!" Kurodabei pushed the door open and said seriously, "We must ensure the safety of the people."
After receiving the news from Kudo Shinichi, the Metropolitan Police Department immediately took action, exerting its maximum speed and arriving at the scene within five minutes.
Kurodabei said in a deep voice, "Stop the game immediately and announce the evacuation of the crowd."
Conan Edogawa immediately said: "We can't tell them there's a bomb at the scene, it will cause panic! Besides, if the criminal hears it and goes all out and detonates it directly, then everything will be over."
The alliance chairman asked in a deep voice: "Then what should we do?"
Just as everyone was frowning in thought, a sharp alarm suddenly rang in their ears. Everyone looked over there, only to see Dong Yexi calmly withdraw his hand from the fire alarm.
He said calmly, "The stadium is on fire. The game must be stopped and the crowd evacuated. If the criminal is inside, he will panic because the fire will detonate the bomb prematurely, and if he doesn't have enough time to escape, he will die. At this time, he will definitely not press the detonator."
"If he wasn't there, the bomb would have exploded anyway, so there was no need for him to press the detonator. He could just wait and watch. Of course, the premise is that this person still wants to live and doesn't want to die with everyone else."
When everyone heard this, they felt that his analysis made a lot of sense.
Kuroda Bei immediately said, "Megure, immediately have the armed police bring out smoke bombs to fake a fire. Immediately broadcast the fire evacuation notice and have people outside the area pay attention to any suspicious behavior."
"yes!"

The three-minute break passed in a flash and the third game began.
Hatori Yui kept looking towards the aisle: "Why haven't senior and Conan come back yet?"
Subaru Okiya glanced down at his phone, his eyes darkened, and he immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom too." Then he turned and left.
Hatori Yuiichi: The game has already started, why are you still going to the bathroom? You can't even hold it in for a little while?
In the third game, the Black Wolves were in great form, scoring three points straight from the start thanks to Gong You's three-sword flow serve. The fourth serve was finally caught by the opposing libero, Hirashima.
Kageyama Tobio: "Nice!"
The ball flew high, and Kageyama Tobio adjusted his stance and passed it accurately into the hands of Ushijima Wakari. Ushijima Wakari swung her arm, her left hand slapping the ball with a resounding thud, demonstrating the immense force. However, this powerful shot was caught by a flash of orange.
The audience's "Wow~" hadn't finished yet, and instantly switched to "Wow!"
"It's Hinata Shoyo!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly, "He caught Ushijima's powerful shot head-on! And he passed it right into Miya Yu's reach! Miya Yu, like Kageyama, passed the ball cleanly to the net, where waiting was—Kurobuta Kotaro!"
"Hehehe! Now this is my home court!" Koutarou Kyuuba jumped high with excitement on his face. Just as he was about to hit the volleyball, a sharp alarm sounded in the entire venue.
He missed the opportunity due to a moment of distraction, the ball flew directly past his hand, and he landed on the ground in a daze.
All the players stopped moving and the audience was silent.
"What's wrong? Is there a fire?" Hinata Shoyang got up from the ground and asked, panting slightly.
The on-site commentator said: "Please wait a moment, let us confirm the situation."
The alarm blared for a full thirty seconds, causing panic among the crowd. It was finally cut off before anyone could start rioting.
The broadcast was no longer dominated by the male commentator, but by a gentle, firm female voice: "Attention, everyone! A fire has broken out in the east lounge of the stadium due to unknown causes. The fire has been brought under control. This competition is temporarily suspended. Please leave the stadium in an orderly manner through the nearest emergency exits under the guidance of the staff. Please evacuate in an orderly manner and give priority to the elderly, children, and women. Thank you for your cooperation."
The broadcast was played on loop, and the audience was in an uproar.
"Just continue the competition after the fire is out!" some audience members complained.
The person next to him said directly, "Are you deaf? The broadcast clearly said that the fire was under control, not that it was out, okay? What if it suddenly gets out of control? Anyway, I need to get out of here!"
When the people around heard this, they all stood up and walked towards the emergency passage. As soon as they walked out, they saw smoke billowing in the corridor.
"Oh my god! This fire is really big! Let's go, let's go!"
When the people behind heard this, they also became anxious and quickened their pace.
Suzuki Sonoko said regretfully, "What a pity! The game was getting exciting!"
Mao Lilan comforted her, "Safety first. The competition will definitely be held at another time."
Suzuki Sonoko thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right. One more day to see Miya Yu!" She suddenly turned her head and looked around, then asked, "Eh? Where's Mr. Amuro?"
"Really, where did he go?" Mao Lilan also looked around but couldn't find anyone.
"They must have been separated by the crowd." Suzuki Sonoko said, "It's okay, we'll go out and wait for him." Now they were surrounded by people and could not move at all. They could only be carried forward by the crowd.
The players and media on the field also quickly packed up their things and evacuated through other passages.
"Damn it! I was just about to do a super small diagonal attack!" Koutarou said with a puffed face, "I had a feeling it would work!"
Sakuhaya Seiomi said, "Don't twist your arm." His voice was muffled, and when he turned around, he saw that he was already wearing a mask.
"No way!" Koutarou clenched his fist, "I'm in great shape today!"
Xinghai Guanglai passed by and said, "I've seen through your route a long time ago. As long as you hit me, I will definitely catch you."
Koutarou Koutarou's eyes narrowed: "Nonsense, you were so far away!" When he landed, Xinghai Guanglai was not in front of the net.
"That's because the alarm went off, which affected my actions." Xing Haiguang said, "If it weren't for this accident, we would have won this point."
"What did you say?!"
The captains of the two teams, Hirugami Fukuro and Akaya Shugo, looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
Now that they've encountered a fire, can't these people be a little nervous?
