Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 467: Countdown to Heaven! (Monthly Ticket Request!)
"There's only half an hour left before the time bomb explodes? Officer Megure, you really know how to give me a hard time!"

After hearing what Inspector Megure said, Bai Ye's eyes became somewhat deep.

"I'm really sorry, Brother Bai Ye, I have no choice but to trouble you like this."

Inspector Megure's expression on the other end of the phone was somewhat bitter and complicated.

How could he not know that it was somewhat unkind of him to come to Bai Ye for help at the last moment?

But he has no choice.

If possible, he would like to solve this trouble easily without asking others for help.

But unfortunately, he overestimated the ability of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the level of the so-called famous detective Kogoro Mori, so that the situation became worse and worse, and finally he had to seek help from outside the field.

"But don't worry, brother Bai Ye. No matter whether you can find the location of the bomb or not, I and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will never forget this favor!"

"Hey, what are you talking about, Officer Megure..."

"We are all friends, there is no need to be so polite!"

After squeezing the restless little hand of a certain Sonoko and exchanging a glance with Mao Lilan next to him, Bai Ye looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "Don't worry, for the sake of Officer Megure, I will definitely help you to the end!"

At this point, Bai Ye paused and straightened his expression. "Okay, due to time constraints, I won't say any more polite words. Let's get straight to the point."

"Officer Megure, you said that the criminal told you that the location of the bomb was at XX, but you searched under the seats of all the trains on the circular line, on the grids, and under the car bodies, but you couldn't find any suspicious items, right?"

Officer Megure nodded heavily, "That's right!"

It can be said that the police and railway staff searched almost every place they could, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

If it weren't for this, how could he and others be so anxious now.

Bai Ye offered a suggestion calmly, "Have you tried looking for other places? For example, the railway tracks?"

Officer Megure was slightly stunned. "Railway tracks?"

They haven't really found this.

Because no matter how you think about it, the bomb wouldn't be on the railroad tracks.

After all, the mysterious man had told them that the bomb would explode directly if the train speed dropped below 60 kilometers per hour, or if the sun set.

However, based on his understanding of Bai Ye, the other party did not seem like the type of person who would make suggestions unrelated to the case at such a critical moment.

Could it be that the mysterious man really installed the bomb between the rails?

But, is this really possible?
You know, it's not easy to set up any detonation conditions in the place between the rails!
"Yes, it's the railroad tracks!"

Bai Ye patted the shoulders of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, who were extremely shocked after hearing the news of the bomb, and then hugged them in his arms to comfort them, while calmly expressing his judgment to Inspector Megure and others on the other end of the phone.

"According to the mysterious man, the bombs will explode if the train speed drops below 60 kilometers per hour, and they will also explode when the sun sets. In other words, the bombs installed by the criminals need to be exposed to the sun, and they will explode if they are not exposed to the sun."

"So, the place where the criminal actually placed the bomb was not under the seat of the circular line, nor on the grid, nor under the car body. The correct location was between the rails."

Officer Megure still didn't quite understand, "Brother Bai Ye, why is it between the railroad tracks?"

If, as his brother said, the bomb needs to be exposed to the sun to avoid exploding, it can explain why the bomb was detonated directly after the sun went down and why the bomb was installed between the rails.

But how do we explain that the train speed must be higher than 60 kilometers per hour?

Could it be that the mysterious person had specially set two detonation conditions for the bomb? Or was the speed required to be higher than 60 kilometers per hour just a trick?

Bai Ye's lips curled slightly, "The answer is very simple. If I'm not mistaken, the five bombs should have been designed by the criminals. If the bombs are not exposed to light for a few seconds, they will be detonated. If the circular line train passes over the bombs, the entire train will pass completely, and the light will be blocked for a few seconds."

"If the length of a carriage is 20 meters, then 200 carriages is 60 meters. If the speed is maintained at 1607 kilometers per hour, then one second is equivalent to 200 meters. In other words, it takes 12 seconds to travel meters."

"If you don't want the bomb to explode without light, you have to run the train at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour."

"So, if you believe me, Officer Megure, please move the circular train to other tracks immediately. As long as the train leaves the circular line, there will be no danger in stopping the train!"

"I see...I understand!"

Bai Ye has explained it so clearly. If Inspector Megure still doesn't understand, then he has been a detective in vain for so many years.

As he suddenly realized what was going on, Officer Megure did not forget to express his gratitude to Bai Ye, "Thank you so much this time, Brother Bai Ye!"

"You're too polite, Officer Megure!"

……

Looking at Bai Ye who hung up the phone, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their beautiful eyes, "Darling, Dad and Officer Megure, are they okay over there?"

There was a bomb installed on the loop line?

Only a crazy person can do such a thing!

Noticing the worry that could not be concealed on Mao Li Ran's delicate and pink face, Bai Ye, who knew that his girlfriend was kind-hearted, knew what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, Xiaolan. I've told them where the bomb is installed. As long as Officer Megure and the others make proper arrangements, the passengers on the loop line will be safe."

"As for the mysterious man, once the police have solved the bomb problem, they will definitely find a way to catch him and bring him to justice."

When he said this, seeing the worry flashing in Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes, Bai Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Or do you not believe in your husband's ability and think that my reasoning is wrong?"

"No... How could that be! How could I not believe you, Darling!"

Mao Lilan quickly shook her head.

How could she not trust her man?

You know, the person she trusts the most is her boyfriend.

She just felt that her father was busy dealing with bomb-related matters, but she was having a leisurely date with her boyfriend and best friend here, which was not a good thing to do.

But what her boyfriend said made sense. The bomb issue should naturally be handled by the police, and it was not her turn as an outsider to worry about it.

Even Inspector Megure only found out the exact location of the bomb through the reasoning of her boyfriend.

But even though she knew it, she couldn't risk her life to go to the loop line and help Inspector Megure and his team solve this incident, right? Or should she let her boyfriend go to the loop line to defuse the bomb, or let him deal with the crazy bomber who installed the bomb on the loop line?

Please, it's true that she has a kind heart, but she's not so saintly as to let her boyfriend risk his life for a group of strangers!
Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and then he pecked Mao Lilan's pink lips lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness, "Since you believe in me, Xiaolan, you should be obedient and stop having wild thoughts."

Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and responded obediently, "Okay..."

Seeing this scene, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were filled with tenderness...

……

"Director Sakaguchi, I think you heard everything, right?"

After hanging up the phone, Officer Megure looked at Sakaguchi, the operations manager sitting across from him. "Hmm..."

After taking a deep breath, Operations Manager Sakaguchi made a decision.

"Car No. 11, please be alert. In three minutes, you will be transferring to the freight line at Shibahama Station. Prepare to move immediately!"

Although I don’t know whether Bai Ye’s guess is true or false, at present, the other party’s reasoning is the most credible.

In addition, with Inspector Megure as the guarantor, he was willing to believe Bai Ye this time.

Of course, trust is trust, but after all, this incident has a huge impact and concerns the lives of hundreds of people.

He couldn't possibly gamble with everyone's lives right from the start.

It was for this reason that, after much thought, he decided to find a train to try it out first.

In this way, even if Bai Ye's reasoning was wrong, the whole army would not be wiped out.

"Quick!"

The staff who received the order did not hesitate and decisively directed Car No. 11 at the workbench, "Car No. 11, Car No. 11, switch the railway tracks in three minutes, and confirm the track line at Shibahama Station."

"Even the engine starts."

"Cargo trains should be moved to emergency evacuation tracks as quickly as possible."

"Train No. 11 passes through Kawasaki Station!"

"Train No. 11 passes through Shibahama Station!"

"Track switch complete!"

"Start reducing your speed now, 68 kilometers... 64 kilometers, 63 kilometers..."

After receiving the order, although the conductor had cold sweat on his face, he still firmly cooperated with his superiors' instructions and slowly reduced the speed of the train.

"62 kilometers..."

As he spoke, the conductor's voice was shaking.

There was no way he could help but be nervous and scared, because he was not a fool. How could he not understand that the reason Commander Nan and others asked the No. 11 car he was driving to switch routes was to gamble with the No. 11 car that the bomb was between the tracks.

If the bet succeeds, everyone will be happy, but if the bet fails, not only his life as a conductor, but also the lives of everyone on the train will be reduced to slag in the explosion of the bomb.

"61 kilometers..."

"60 kilometers..."

When the speed of car No. 11 was about to drop below 60 kilometers per hour, everyone in the command room couldn't help swallowing, looking extremely nervous. Inspector Megure was even afraid to speak, for fear that Bai Ye's guess and reasoning were wrong.

After all, the price of this mistake is a whole car of people, which means at least nearly a hundred lives.

Such a price was too high for him to accept.

"59 kilometers..."

At this moment, the conductor's surprised voice came over: "58 kilometers!"

Hearing this voice, Commander Nan took a deep breath and asked quickly, "Is there any abnormal situation?"

The conductor's voice was filled with the excitement of having escaped death, "Report, no abnormalities!"

Great, it looks like they won the bet!
Commander Nan couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face, "Very good, continue to slow down! Then stop on the cargo track!"

"understood!"

“It really worked!”

As the train slowly stopped, Inspector Megure couldn't help but show joy on his face.

Sure enough, he knew that his brother Bai Ye would not let him down.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Not only him, but everyone else in the command room was equally happy and excited.

However, although Operations Director Sakaguchi looked a little relaxed, he was not completely relaxed.

"No, we can't be careless now."

One success means nothing. Only when all the trains are driven away from the circular line and the five bombs are found, only then can they truly relax.

Otherwise, if they were too excited and caused problems in the transfer of other trains, thus causing the bomb to explode, they would be in tears.

"Because there are still 20 trains running on the circular line!"

"Um……"

Officer Megure nodded.

……

"There is nothing unusual about car No. 9..."

"There is nothing unusual about car No. 20..."

"There's only one tram left!"

"This is Train No. 10, currently traveling at 55 kilometers per hour, and there is nothing unusual!"

Because of the experience of car No. 11, the rest of the trains running on the circular line quickly came to a stop in the same way. After hearing the report from the conductor of the last train, the tense faces of everyone in the command room suddenly relaxed, with expressions of tears of joy on their faces.

"Great!"

"Great, it worked!"

Everyone hugged each other to celebrate having survived this disaster, including Kogoro Mori and Transport Director Sakaguchi.

"Great! It's so rare to be safe and sound!"

"thanks everyone!"

Looking at the ecstatic and excited crowd, Officer Megure pondered for a moment, straightened his expression, and said, "From now on, it's the police's job!"

Now that the train and its passengers have been moved to a safe area, it is now up to the police to show their skills and defuse the bombs.

As for what they will do after the bomb is defused?
Haha, of course, we need to find out the mastermind behind all this and make him pay the price for his actions!
Thinking of this, Officer Megure no longer hesitated and decisively summoned his subordinates, and then took them to the track on the loop line to dismantle the five bombs installed between the tracks by the mysterious man...
