Chapter 353: Capture Rum alive?
"boom--"
Jinpei Matsuda pulled out his gun and decisively shot at the people on the stage.
Rum's pupils shrank slightly, and he rolled to the side to avoid the attack, but was still hit on the arm by Matsuda Jinpei.
He staggered a few steps and finally fell to the ground.
This time, both of his arms were injured and he couldn't even lift the gun.
The others saw this scene and immediately screamed and ran out. Matsuda Jinpei put Conan down and swiftly stepped onto the judges' table. He flipped the table with one hand and pointed the gun directly at Rum's head: "Don't move, or I'll blow your head off."
Rum half-knelt on the ground, raised his head with a ferocious expression, and stared at Jinpei Matsuda viciously.
Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses, casually shoved them in his pocket, and stared back: "What are you looking at?"
Conan also quickly trotted to Matsuda Jinpei's side, staring at the rum on the ground, his heart pounding.
It worked!
They succeeded!
Successfully caught him - this one-eyed guy, these methods...it must be Rum!
Conan had some doubts in his heart before, but Mr. Amuro and Mr. Shirakawa both said that they would resolve the matter, so Conan had been feeling uncertain. Now that everything has been settled, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally - the members of the organization were captured alive by them!
And according to Huiyuan Ai's introduction, what this Rum knows is not ordinary...
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone—"
Yuya Kazami asked the police to evacuate the crowd while running in with his men.
Jinpei Matsuda took the gun from Rum's hand and threw it to Conan, then stood up with a cold expression, the muzzle of the gun still pointed at Rum's head, without relaxing his vigilance at all.
Yuya Kazami saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Moruofu's guess was correct. Officer Matsuda had already come in early.
This effort to divert attention finally worked.
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him and said calmly, "This guy has been shot twice. Please take care of him and make sure he doesn't bleed to death."
At this critical moment, Matsuda Jinpei was too lazy to argue with these guys, and Kazami Yuya said nothing and signaled the people around him to go forward and check.
Rum's arms drooped weakly, his head lowered, his expression seemingly unclear, but Conan, who was slightly shorter, keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Rum's current expression doesn't look like the despair of being caught - could it be that he has a backup plan?
"boom--"
Suddenly, the whole building was filled with the sound of a bomb exploding, and everyone swayed.
When everyone stood firmly, everyone had a solemn expression on their face.
"hehe--"
The people on the ground laughed sarcastically: "Don't tell me, everything is over, right?"
Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes, reached out and picked the man up, and shouted in a deep voice: "Did you plant a bomb here?"
Rum snorted and laughed: "Of course it's not me—"
Then his gaze shifted to Yuya Kazami next to him: "Where's Scotland? Let him come to see me, otherwise our people will blow up this building immediately. You should understand that I am not saying this casually."
Hearing Rum's words, Kazami Yuya's expression was exceptionally cold, without revealing any flaws at all: "Who is this guy? I don't know. You can make other requests."
In response to Yuya Kazami's pretending to be stupid, Rum just chuckled, and then the building exploded again.
Everyone in the building began screaming and calling for help. All the escape routes downstairs had been destroyed, and those trapped inside the building could only huddle and tremble in the more stable corners of the building. At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department also received the news, and police cars began to pour in.
"Now, for every minute I wait, a bomb will randomly explode in this building," Rum said with a smile. "There are so many people on each floor of this building. I think you are very aware that human lives are not important to us, but you can't just ignore them, right?"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard Rum's words.
Matsuda Jinpei clenched his fists: "This bastard——"
Conan bit his lip and thought carefully about his countermeasures.
Yuya Kazami pushed his glasses up, his expression looking very ugly.
"Okay, I knew you found out."
A cold voice came from behind them, and a slender figure slowly walked out of the door, revealing the full appearance of the figure's owner.
The black-haired, blue-eyed young man had a calm expression. He stared at Rum with cold eyes and said in a steady tone, "Long time no see, Rum."
Rum stared at Zhufu Jingguang intently, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Haha, I knew you were not dead."
"Zhu..." Matsuda Jinpei opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhufushi Jingguang in disbelief.
Zhu Fushimi looked at Matsuda Jinpei, nodded imperceptibly, and then turned all his attention back to Rum: "We can let you go and get your people to stop detonating the bomb."
Rum chuckled disdainfully: "Now everyone's life and death is in my hands. You have no right to negotiate."
Zhu Fujingguang also sneered: "Our negotiation qualification is naturally you, don't tell me you are not afraid of death."
Rum: "I only have one life, so taking the lives of the rest of you is a good deal."
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't beat around the bush. "You only managed to escape into this building temporarily, and the people who came to rescue you have just arrived. Based on this timeframe, he could only plant three or four bombs here at most. Our people have already begun a thorough inspection of the building, so he can't possibly continue installing more. Therefore, stalling for time is pointless. You only have so many bargaining chips."
Rum: "So what? Are you, the police, willing to sacrifice the lives of the people just to arrest us?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at him without answering.
Conan had already pulled Jinpei Matsuda and quietly walked out of the room.
Conan: "I saw the company distribution map in the elevator when I came here. Maybe we can find the explosion point in advance."
They stood in front of the sign next to the elevator and carefully analyzed the distribution of companies and office areas above.
"First of all, the explosions were mainly located on the lower floors, namely the third and seventh floors."
Conan pointed to the location, "This way we can efficiently block the others upstairs."
You don't have to run to too high a floor.
"Based on the time it took us to enter the building, it shouldn't have taken more than fifteen minutes. If the accomplice entered after us, then he probably only had ten minutes to prepare."
This time is very limited. As Zhu Fujingguang said, it is impossible for him to scatter the bombs in too many places, and there is no time to transfer them to different floors.
Therefore, the accomplice may be hovering between the middle and lower floors.
"The accomplice should be on a nearby floor, so we can protect the target as much as possible." Matsuda Jinpei also analyzed, "I've already observed this floor, and there's no one particularly suspicious. And Morobushi's late arrival is probably also to confirm the safety of this floor."
So if we exclude the current ninth floor and the other floors that are farther away, then Rum's accomplice is most likely on the eighth or tenth floor.
"It should be on the tenth floor." Conan said, "If it were me, I would be the fastest to go from top to bottom."
Matsuda Jinpei nodded: "I think so too."
