Chapter 1072 1080 [You must have good eyesight]
Haibara Ai thought silently: At worst, I can just send these troublesome kids away first, and then I can look at the situation and secretly come back to look for Jiang Xia.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai touched the heavy little schoolbag on her back to give herself courage.
——In order to attend this banquet and successfully survive the unknown tasks assigned by the anonymous people, she got a lot of props that might be used from the doctor. Huiyuan Ai took a deep breath and felt that her fighting power was unprecedentedly high at this time.
Several children chose the nearest safe passage and climbed the stairs to the communication bridge.
…
There are several safe exits in the building.
Jiang Xia and Akai Shuichi did not meet those people who were seeking refuge, and they went up all the way to the 75th floor.
The first elevator that just went down has not returned yet.
Soon they arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, and Jiang Xia put away the phone that had just sent an email. In front of him, "Okiya Subaru" had already pushed open the security door and entered the banquet hall.
Jiang Xia also walked in. The fireproof door closed behind them, and when he looked up, he saw a group of people waiting for the elevator at the sightseeing elevator door diagonally opposite.
Hearing the sound of the door of the emergency passage being pushed open, a group of ladies who were waiting for the elevator were inevitably startled: they didn't expect that there would be someone in the passage at this time.
They thought of the unknown bomber and turned around in panic.
Mao Lilan quickly blocked the others behind her and instinctively clenched her fists.
Suzuki Sonoko shone her flashlight towards the newcomer in a tacit understanding. At the same time, she grabbed one of Mao Lilan's shoulders, hid behind her friend to build up her courage, and shouted in a timid voice, "Who?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the person waving and running towards them.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled and then surprised: "Jiang Xia! You..."
Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "...Didn't Mr. Amuro say that you had just taken the communication bridge to Building B?"
Jiang Xia: “…” After a few minutes of absence, how come the boss has another pot on his back?
He glanced at Akai Shuichi who followed him, and remembered the murderous smell of coffee that was about to burst out, so he considerately helped the high-end coffee machine move the new pot on his back: "I originally thought so, but I was not sure, so I came up to take a look first."
As he was talking, Shuichi Akai also came to the elevator.
He glanced at the high school students who were talking in low voices, and then his eyes swept over the other people who stayed here - basically young women. In order to attend the party, they wore various high-heeled shoes. It was not as convenient for them to climb stairs as men, so they were waiting for the elevator here.
…
The sightseeing elevator in front of us is embedded on the outside of the building. It is convenient for viewing during the day and can also be seen clearly from the outside at night.
When Shuichi Akai came to plant the bomb, he had already taken the opportunity to find out - the hardness of the walls of this elevator might not be able to protect the passengers inside from the organization's sniper rifles.
A few hundred meters away from the Nishitama Twin Towers A is the Nishitama City Hall, which was once the tallest building in the area.
If you use the roof of the municipal building as a sniper point, once the observation elevator drops to the 60th floor, it will be within the range of the sniper rifle.
In short, Shuichi Akai realized that the mysterious target targeted by the organization was most likely right in front of him - among the group of people waiting for the elevator.
The FBI ace's slightly scrutinizing gaze, hidden behind his non-threatening narrow eyes, swept over everyone secretly.
But no matter how outstanding his abilities are, Shuichi Akai cannot read minds after all, and this group of people in front of him is almost the first time he has seen them, so it is difficult for him to distinguish them at first.
…
Next to him, Jiang Xia seemed to be unaware of all this and was asking his two classmates about the situation upstairs.
"After the explosion, we immediately tried to find a way to leave. Then we split into two groups. One group went down to the 60th floor to find the communication bridge, and the other group took the elevator down."
Suzuki Sonoko looked down at her pointed high heels and thought to herself that if she attended a party again in the future, she would definitely customize a pair of shoes that could have the heels removed at any time so that she could run.
She sighed, supported Jiang Xia, and stretched her sore ankle: "Fortunately, this elevator has an independent power supply, so it can still be used. But..."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the new arrivals Jiang Xia and "Okiya Subaru" and felt a little worried - the elevator was limited to 9 people, and because Kisaragi Minemizu insisted on walking up the stairs, only one more person could fit in now.
Jiang Xia saw what she wanted to remind him of: "Don't worry, I'll go to the communication bridge after you get on the elevator - the 60th floor is not that far from here."
Beside him, "Okiya Subaru" suddenly pushed up his glasses and jokingly replied:
"Indeed. Don't worry about us. Maybe it will be safer for us to take the bridge than for you to take the elevator.
"You know, the sightseeing elevator has transparent walls. Maybe right now, there is a sniper with malicious intentions waiting for you on the opposite building. This is often seen in movies."
"..." Suzuki Sonoko glanced at him dimly: Why is Mr. Okiya so unlucky today - so unlucky!
The other ladies thought that "Okiya Subaru" was really telling a joke, so out of politeness they smiled in cooperation, then turned their heads absentmindedly to look at the elevator's electronic screen. It was obvious that they did not take his words to heart and only hoped that the elevator would come up quickly.
…
Shuichi Akai's eyes accurately captured their reactions, but he didn't find anything unusual.
This made him frown slightly: the organization's assassination targets, even if they were not accomplices of the organization, were mostly outstanding figures in various industries. To use such a large-scale assassination tonight, the other party must be very vigilant.
Such a person shouldn't have no reaction to the "joke" he just made.
Shuichi Akai: “…” Could it be that the “assassination target” was overly alert and thought in advance that “he might be sniped if taking the elevator”, so he went somewhere else?
In fact, a bomb was installed at one end of the 60-story communication bridge.
However, until now, there has been no movement from the other side of the bridge, which shows that the target did not take the communication bridge - perhaps the person is still hiding in the building, hoping that after the firefighters put out the fire, he can blend into the crowd and leave.
Also, speaking of goals…
Shuichi Akai's gaze fell on Suzuki Sonoko and he felt that this hairstyle was vaguely familiar.
However, when seeing Suzuki Sonoko chattering and talking to Jiang Xia, Akai Shuichi felt that this little girl didn't have much in common with "Sulli" except for her hair - even the hairstyle was not exactly the same, just generally similar.
“……” Nowadays, there are quite a few ladies who follow the fashion and perm their hair. The light in the elevator is also very bright. The sniper of the organization must have good eyesight.
Thinking of this, Shuichi Akai no longer cared about the familiar feeling in his heart, and began to think about where the "target" was now.
