After escorting Yoshida and her daughter to the downstairs of the apartment building for shelter, Rei Furuya began to evacuate other residents.
But he suddenly realized that ten minutes had passed since the explosion, but he still hadn't seen Fujiwara Yu. What's more, this guy hadn't even called him yet.
So he couldn't help but find a quiet place, took out his phone and called, and started with a stern question. It was only natural for him to be worried because Fujiwara Yuu always got involved in cases.
"Fujiwara, what are you dawdling about? Why don't you come down?"
At this time, Fujiwara Yuu, who was searching for scissors at Yoshida's house on the 20th floor, was holding his phone with one hand and replied helplessly:
"Fōya, please try to stay away. Something has happened here, and I... can't go downstairs for a while. I'm sorry."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Furiya Rei asked, and a possibility quickly came to his mind. He lowered his voice, leaned close to the phone microphone, and whispered, "Could it be an explosion caused by a bomb?"
"Well, I just received a call from the bomber. He's going to detonate the bomb if I leave the 20th floor, so you better get away from the apartment. If it blows up..."
Fujiwara Yuu was about to offer a few more warnings, but his phone went busy. Furiya Rei had actually hung up on him. He stared helplessly, but he had no choice but to take the scissors he had found and head towards the elevator on the right side of the 20th floor. According to the bomber, the bomb was hidden in the elevator shaft.
However, before taking action, we still have to wait for a call from the Metropolitan Police Department. I believe that Instructor Onizuka has already told the whole story to the Metropolitan Police Department detective named Juzo Megure.
Fujiwara Yuu, leaning against the wall, was playing with a five-yen coin. He was wondering if there were any loopholes in what the bomber said. If it was really as he said, he could just act while defusing the bomb, and then contact the police who were waiting at the transaction location through text messages, and catch them in one fell swoop.
Could a bomber who could easily sneak into a heavily guarded luxury apartment and plant numerous eavesdropping devices and bombs really resort to such a shabby method? Or... was the bomb in the elevator shaft just a decoy, and he had other hidden tricks he hadn't revealed yet?
If we analyze it this way, it can explain why the bomber looked so confident of winning.
Fujiwara Yu reached out and pressed the up button of the elevator on the right, watching the elevator that was stopped on the seventh floor continue to climb upwards. At the moment the elevator door opened, the door of the fire escape next to him was suddenly pushed open. The person who was holding his hands on his knees and breathing heavily was who else but Furuya Rei?
"Jiang Gu?"
"Fujiwara, you... cough cough, you're really tiring... me!"
Fujiwara Yu couldn't believe that Furuya Rei would choose to go against his will at this moment. He reached out and pressed the up button to ensure the elevator would remain open on the 20th floor. There was a look of confusion on his face as he frowned and said,
"What are you doing up here? I'm enough for you alone."
"If you fail, you'll die, right?" Furiya Rei noticed a touch of humanity on that face that always refused to show any emotion. He raised his lips slightly and said, "It would be too lonely to die alone, so I came to keep you company."
It is impossible for humans not to be afraid of death, but at a time like this, they actually lose their minds like a madman and choose to share the responsibility of the police with themselves. This is really stupid.
But if you think about it carefully, he is Furuya Rei, a guy who is as stubborn as himself, otherwise they would not have fought with Matsuda Jinpei separately when they entered the police academy.
"madman."
"Same here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pleasant ringtone came from his cell phone. It was an unfamiliar number. It was obviously not the bomber calling. Most likely, it was Megure Juzo who called to calm himself down after learning that he had become a hostage.
But after the call was connected, Megure Juzo became puzzled - because he never expected that the number of hostages would change from "1" to "2", and he didn't expect that someone would volunteer to be a hostage.
This is a bomb, no joke. How come Onizuka's students are so fearless?!
"Hey, you two stay on the 20th floor and don't act rashly. The police will definitely prioritize your safety, so don't worry, understand?" Megure Jusan said in a serious tone.
"Well, we understand, Officer Megure. I'll leave the confrontation with the bomber to you. Furuya and I will stay on the 20th floor and wait for your rescue."
Fujiwara Yu walked into the elevator while making a promise, and made a gesture of silence under the surprised gaze of Furiya Rei, in order to remind him that there were eavesdropping devices planted by the bomber around here, and he should not tell anyone about his actions.
Understanding what was going on, Fūya Rei silently swallowed what he wanted to say, and took out his cell phone to edit a text message and send it to Fujiwara Yu. He was now quite glad that the cell phone signal was full, otherwise he would not be able to chat just by using gestures.
[Furugaya Rei: What are you going to do now? Are you planning to defuse the bomb? You're not as good as me at that.]
[Fujiwara Yuu: You're better than me. That's because Matsuda is coaching you, right? Go to the 21st floor and find a way to open the elevator door. The bomber said the bomb was placed in the elevator shaft above the 20th floor.]
[Furugaya Rei: You really think highly of me. I'll find some tools and try to pry it open. But what are you planning to do?]
[Fujiwara Yuu: Just in case. If the elevator falls, you can still come and save me. Oh, and Furuya, send a message to Matsuda. According to my theory, the bomber may have planted a second bomb near the Yoshioka 2-chome intersection where the transaction took place. Tell them to find a way to dismantle it. Be careful, there may be a bug in the bomb.]
