Chapter 690 He should be stopped from coming to the appointment.
They had already called the police on their way here, and now the police have arrived.
Many media reporters who had heard the news also rushed to the perimeter of the scene and took a lot of pictures of the aquarium.
Qianzhu raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly surprised, as she looked at the situation outside through the system panel. "Why don't I remember triggering the movie version at this time?"
Glancing at the strangely lively scene outside, Qianzhu took out her phone and checked it; it still showed no signal.
At this moment, there were still about twenty minutes before the bomb exploded.
He considered it for a moment, then clicked to edit a short message and sent it to Ai Haibara.
Although they knew there was likely only one person in the aquarium, the police still planned to go in and rescue them.
The problem is that they don't know when the bomb will explode.
Just as the demolition team was about to approach the aquarium, Ai Haibara suddenly called out to them loudly.
"Wait a moment!"
Everyone instinctively turned to look at her.
Ai Haibara held her phone and read aloud the text message she had just received.
The message sent by Qianzhu:
[Besides you, the police have probably arrived here too, but please don't let anyone near the aquarium. I just saw a bomb. The perpetrator left a note saying these bombs are special, and he's planted many similar bombs around the aquarium. They will detonate immediately if anyone gets within five meters.]
[I will find a way to leave the aquarium, please don't worry.]
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and in an uproar.
Conan's pupils trembled. He suddenly grabbed Ai Haibara's phone and sent a text message to Chizuru, asking if the bomb had a timer and how long it would take to explode. However, the signal on the other end seemed unstable, and Conan waited for a long time without receiving a reply.
He cursed under his breath, his heart filled with anxiety, hoping that Qianzhu could get out of there as soon as possible.
Qianzhu knelt on one knee, looking down at the bomb with a ten-minute countdown, with the note next to him.
The note contained almost the same text message he sent to Ai Haibara, except for one extra sentence at the end—
The bomb will explode the moment you step out of here.
Qianzhu stared at the sentence for a long time before slowly revealing a smile. "How interesting."
While the aquarium staff were extremely anxious, the Beika General Hospital staff seemed quite relaxed.
After finishing the dinner that Amuro Tooru brought him, Bechfenger poured himself a glass of water and turned on the TV to pass the time. As soon as the TV screen lit up, it showed the live broadcast of Beika Aquarium.
Behringer blinked, then tugged at Amuro Tooru's sleeve. "Toru, look over there, isn't that Conan and the others?"
Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru looked up at the television and indeed saw Conan and the others who had been filmed. He then asked with some confusion, "It is indeed them, but what are they doing there?"
Behringer silently took out his phone and made a call to Conan.
Conan answered quickly, his voice calm but revealing urgency, "Behrfinger? What's wrong?"
"Conan, what are you doing outside the Beika Aquarium? Why are there so many police officers and reporters?"
After asking his question, Behringer raised his water glass, about to take a sip.
"A bomb has been planted in the Beika Aquarium, but Chitake is inside!" Conan said rapidly.
Behrfinger choked on the water he had just swallowed, coughing several times before his voice rose in shock: "What did you say?!"
Then he immediately put down the cup, yanked off the covers and got out of bed, rushing to leave the hospital.
Amuro Tooru grabbed him. "Behrfinger, where are you going?"
"I need to go to Beika Aquarium! I'm in a hurry, don't hold me back." Behringer looked serious and anxious.
A bead of sweat appeared on Amuro Tooru's forehead. "I didn't intend to drag you along, but how can you go with your broken arm still not healed?"
“Oh right.” Behringer paused upon hearing this, then pulled him along and slipped out. “In that case, you’d better hurry up!”
Before setting off, Amuro Tooru put on a hat and sped off in his newly repaired Mazda to Beika Town.
In the passenger seat, Bechfenger was still asking Conan for more details on his phone. After learning the contents of the note, he turned to look out the window.
"Where is he? Hasn't he come out yet?"
He asked again.
"...Not yet, we haven't seen him come out."
Conan's voice was hoarse.
Bechfenger fell silent.
Amuro Tooru drove to Beika Aquarium as fast as he could, where a large crowd had gathered. Just as Bechfinger was about to open the car door and get out...
Several loud explosions rang out in succession. Behringer's hand froze, and he stared wide-eyed at the aquarium through the glass, his face full of disbelief.
Conan and the others, who were closest to the aquarium, were even more overwhelmed, as if in disbelief or simply frozen in place.
It seemed that no more bombs were exploding, and the fire truck convoy that had been waiting nearby quickly extinguished the flames caused by the explosion.
Although aquariums contain water, it doesn't mean the surrounding environment won't be affected.
Behringer got out of the car and quickly ran to Conan's side, grabbing his shoulder with one hand. His voice seemed to tremble slightly, and his eyes held a glimmer of hope, "Where...where is Chizuru?"
Conan remained silent and shook his head.
Behrfinger stood there stunned for a long time before turning around and running away. He took out his phone and made a call, but no one answered.
Before the bomb exploded at the aquarium, Bertrand was experiencing 007's daily life with Gin and Vodka.
On a high-rise building, Bertrand was engrossed in looking into the distance through binoculars when he spotted his target. "Koto-chan! I see him! He's at four o'clock!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Gin casually agreed, waiting for the other person to enter his sniping position on their own.
As he pulled the trigger, Bertrand, who was standing next to him, suddenly turned pale, his eyes lost their light, and he fell backward.
Gin swiftly caught him, glanced at the target whose head was already blown out, put away his gun, and left with Bertrand.
It's easy to guess that something must have happened to that 'symbiote' again.
Gin frowned, and after getting back into the car, he immediately told Vodka to drive back to the safe house.
Bertrand's eyes were unfocused, but he didn't seem dizzy.
Over at Beika Aquarium.
Although they felt the chances were slim, Conan and his friends continued their search for Chizuru in the vicinity.
What if he had already come out?
But they searched for a long time without finding it.
Ai Haibara gripped her phone tightly with both hands, her whole body trembling slightly.
She should have thought more carefully back then; she should have stopped him from coming to the appointment...
Conan, standing next to her, looked at her, opened his mouth as if to say something but then stopped, and could only raise his hand and gently pat her shoulder.
