I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 318: Squeezing out the Value (Part 2)
Kisaki Eri stared at the C4 bomb in front of her that was the size of a human head. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand and her breathing became rapid.

Her face turned pale instantly, and she took two steps back involuntarily. Her voice trembled a little: "I heard... I heard that the gangster has always liked to use C4 bombs. I didn't expect this to be true!!"

“…………” Shiraishi Hui touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that he was so famous that even Kisaki Eri had heard of him.

Indeed, he really loves to use C4.

After all, this thing is much more powerful than a grenade, and it has a range effect when thrown out.

One kills a large number of people; one explosion kills a whole group of people without a sound.

Who can't love?
In order to make me take the blame, those bastards at the winery actually used C4 bombs! !
Kisaki Eri tried her best to calm herself down, turned her gaze to Shiraishi Ei beside her, and said with a hint of hope: "Shiraishi-kun, can you...can you dismantle this C4 bomb?"

"Of course." Shiraishi carefully checked the structure of the bomb, then nodded and said calmly: "No problem, I learned how to defuse bombs when I was in Hawaii before."

He tapped his fingers lightly on the bomb casing, as if to confirm something, and then added: "But it won't do much good if we take it apart now."

"Those criminals have no idea how many C4 bombs they have installed around here. If we remove one, there will be countless more!"

"We have to find the bomb and defuse it... We don't have enough time!"

When Kisaki Eri heard this, she immediately realized that the other party was right.

She was just a lawyer. She had no problem engaging in verbal battles in court, but she simply couldn't cope with the current situation.

She could only ask: "Then...then what should we do?"

Shiraishi Hui noticed that Hibiki was feeling uneasy, so she patted her shoulder gently and said firmly, "Don't panic, let's report to Xiaolan first, she should be very worried about us now."

After he finished speaking, he quickly took out a new cell phone from his pocket and skillfully entered Xiaolan's number.

After the call was connected, he said, "Xiaolan, it's me."

Xiaolan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hui, what's going on? I couldn't contact you just now!!"

"Just now, Lawyer Fei and I ran into some bandits. We had to hide in the fountain to avoid them. Our phones were soaked and we just picked one up." Bai Shihui briefly explained the situation here and said, "In addition, we also found that the bandits installed a large number of bombs in the ship... It seems that they are planning to blow up the ship."

When Xiaolan heard this, she immediately exclaimed: "What?! A bomb?"

At this time, Yuanzi's voice came, saying: "No wonder they suddenly asked us to leave by helicopter!!"

There was obvious panic in her voice, and then she asked anxiously, "When can you join us? Now everyone is ready to line up on the deck!"

"Sonoko, if you have the chance, get on the helicopter and leave!" Shiraishi Hui made a quick decision: "If Attorney Fei and I can't make it, we will leave on the lifeboat!"

"Don't wait for us, safety first, understand?"

Sonoko was silent for a moment, but finally, out of trust, she nodded, her voice full of worry: "Okay...you must be careful!"

Xiaolan also spoke up at this time: "Where's Mom? Is she okay now?"

Shiraishi handed the phone to Kisaki Eri. When she heard her daughter's voice, her heart warmed, but she was more anxious. She quickly said, "Ran, I'm fine. You go with Sonoko and the others first!"

"Don't wait for us, Mom and Shiraishi-kun will find a way to leave, you don't have to worry!"

"If you stay, you will only cause us trouble."

Xiaolan suppressed her emotions and replied, "I know, Mom...you must be careful!"

After Shiraishi Hui answered the phone, she heard Xiaolan's pleading voice: "Shiraishi-kun, I'll leave my mother to you!"

Shiraishi chuckled, with a hint of confidence and comfort in her tone: "Don't worry, Xiaolan. As long as I'm here, your mother won't get hurt."

After hanging up the phone, Hibiki Eri could no longer laugh and asked, "What should we do now?"

Bai Shihui put away her phone, glanced around, and then whispered, "Let's see if we can meet up first. If not, we'll make other plans!"

Having said that, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately pulled Kisaki Eri towards the nearest stairs.

The bandits had already cleared out the experimental subjects on this floor, so they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.

However, when the two of them reached the stairs, they saw that they had been completely blown up and they couldn't go up at all. This made Hibiki feel nervous and she had a bad feeling.

And her premonition soon came true.

When the two ran to the elevator again, they found that the elevator had also stopped running.

"It seems that we have no choice but to go downstairs." Shiraishi Hui said, and she could more or less guess the purpose of the gangsters' actions - to prevent the experimental subjects from going up.

"We have to move faster!" Fei Yingli was a little worried that the bandits would destroy the lifeboat!
"Let's go." Shiraishi Eri immediately led Kisaki Eri down the stairs.

Passing by one floor after another, they all found the surroundings extremely quiet.

Until on a certain floor, the shouting of gangsters and sporadic gunshots were suddenly heard!
Shiraishi Eri used sign language to signal Kisaki Eri to slow down, and the two of them tiptoed down a few steps and then stopped, hiding in the stairs and listening to the noise outside.

They all held their breath and hid quietly in the shadow of the stairwell.

The sound of several gangsters talking came from the bottom of the stairs. Although their voices were very low, they were still clearly audible in the silent environment.

A gangster said in a gruff voice, "Tell me, Boss Rum, why did you drive the other living people to the bottom floor? Can't you just kill them all? Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

Another gangster was speechless: "Can't you see that? Is Boss Rum doing human experiments here? Those living people are important experimental materials. It would be a pity to kill them!"

The third gangster nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, we just transported a batch of tightly sealed drugs to the bottom floor!!"

.....................

After listening to these conversations, Shiraishi Hui realized that Rum still wanted to recycle waste and squeeze out the surplus value of these tourists.

He actually doesn't want to get involved in these things.

It's not very convenient for me to move around in my current identity.

However, he still asked for the opinion of Hibiki Eri beside him, and said in a low voice: "It seems that all the survivors have been driven to the bottom floor for experiments. The situation is worse than we thought."

"What should we do next, Lawyer Fei?"

"Should we just run away, or go and rescue them?"

Kisaki Eri's expression instantly became solemn. She didn't expect these people to be so cruel!
They actually used so many people for human experiments!!

She bit her lower lip and began to struggle internally.

Reason told her that she should not meddle in other people's business and should leave as soon as possible and take this opportunity to escape from this dangerous place.

But on the other hand, it was the emotional impulse that prevented her from ignoring those innocent lives!
Kisaki Eri hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't make a decision.

But she is not in a hurry. Her years of career as a lawyer have kept her calm.

After thinking it over again and again, she asked, "Shiraishi-kun, are you sure you can rescue these survivors at the bottom?"

Shiraishi did not give a definite answer, but said: "I am sure, but I can't say it is 100%."

"If we push them too far, they will most likely detonate the bomb and kill both sides."

"By then, not only will we not be able to rescue the survivors, but we might even die there."

When Hibiki Eri heard this, she had already made a decision in her heart.

A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes as she said, "In that case, let's go and take a look at the situation."

"If there's a chance, we'll save people. If there's no chance, then...then we can only leave."

Shiraishi Eri looked at Kisaki and a hint of approval flashed in her eyes.

He admired her kindness and courage, and even more so her composure!!
I won't be stupid enough to risk my life.

Kindness based on self-protection is the sign of a person’s maturity!
He nodded and said, "Okay, but... we'd better disguise ourselves."

As she spoke, Shiraishi Hui signaled to Kisaki Eri to wait here for a moment, while she left the stairs and went to attack the three bandits.
