Conan's Helping People

After another ten seconds, a busy tone came from the phone.

It must be that Kenji Hagihara was taking the elevator, and the signal was cut off.

Hinata waited reasonably and boredly for a while. After a while, she heard new movement, the sound of gentle footsteps.

It could be heard that the other party was trying his best to make his footsteps silent, approaching lightly and quickly, wandering in the corridor on the twelfth floor for a while, and then heading towards the stairs with precise aim.

When the footsteps came outside the stairwell, Hinata tilted her head reasonably and looked over following the gentle push of the door.

"...Shh, I'm Hagiwara." Hagiwara Kenji quickly scanned the scene in the stairwell, then paused, and then calmed the hostages as planned.

While on the road, Hagiwara Kenji was already prepared for the situation to be terrible.

Even though Hinata's reasonable tone was calm, her speech and communication were normal, there was no rigid feeling of being controlled by others, and there were no other human voices around, it sounded like the criminals were gone and he was safe for the time being.

Hagiwara Kenji did not relax too much and was thankful.

...This kid was extremely calm when he was tied to a bomb in the hospital lobby last time, so this kid's calmness has no reference value at all!

Fortunately, the scene was a little better than the worst scene he expected. There was no blood around, and there were no particularly obvious injuries on Hinata's reasonable face and body.

It was also a little worse than the normal scene he expected.

Compared with this time, the situation in the hospital last time was actually not bad. At least Hinata's eyes were not sealed at that time, and there were many people in her field of vision.

But this time, Hinata's hands and feet were restrained, unable to move, and her eyes were tied with black tape. She could only listen to the countdown sound in an excessively quiet environment.

In addition, not long ago, the other party also experienced an equally bad event... In short, after this matter is over, it is time to consider how to go through the psychological counseling process.

Hagiwara Kenji scanned the surroundings to make sure there was no one nearby, then quickly walked to Hinata's side and warned him in advance, "I'm going to tear off the tape right now, it might hurt."

Then find the tail of the tape and carefully tear it open to reveal the closed eyes.

The tape was not wrapped too tightly, and after it was torn off, Hinata blinked her eyes reasonably quickly to adjust to the suddenly brightened vision.

He first glanced at Hagiwara Kenji's outfit.

The other party was wearing a police uniform and had specific shoes, so the footsteps sounded very distinctive.

From the neatness of the clothes, we can see how the other party flew here.

There are gray friction marks on the knees and elbows.

Hinata pondered for a moment and said hello dryly, "Good morning, Officer Hagiwara... you came very quickly."

"Good morning, Mr. Hinata-chan." Hagihara Kenji replied seriously, but then quickly became unserious, "I flew here after all the trouble, and it only took five minutes!"

He went around to Hinata's back and studied the device where the bomb and tape were connected together.

The intercom rang again, and the shocked voice of a fellow police officer came, "That guy notified several TV stations and tabloids, Hagiwara, that someone from the TV station has already gone to Mihua Tower Apartment!"

"Ah, you guys who like to grab attention, let's stop the media downstairs first." Hagiwara Kenji tentatively moved the tape and quickly retracted his hand, "The most important thing now is to evacuate other residents first."

After replying to the walkie-talkie, Hagiwara Kenji went back to the front and simply sat down cross-legged in front of Hinata. He said easily: "I checked the bomb. It's not a big deal. Once the bombs are defused, they can be dismantled easily."

!”

It's a lie, you didn't carefully check the bomb in front at all, you only checked the device in the back and then stopped solemnly.

It was just to appease the hostages, which Hinata understood reasonably.

He nodded, first checked the location of Mr. Bomber, and found that he was still moving forward without stopping at all, so he simply brought up another topic to lighten the atmosphere.

"Does Officer Hagiwara work hard?"

"You mean after get off work hours." Hagiwara Kenji instantly understood what he wanted to say and couldn't help but laugh, "What did Xiao Jinpei send you? Yesterday... ah, it should have been early this morning. That was a special situation."

"Normally, everyone will go home on time. Occasionally there will be emergencies that require a quick gathering, but this is rare."

Seriously speaking, I am not very busy at work at ordinary times. It has been special recently. Two homemade bomb incidents occurred in a row. The crime was committed by the same accomplice, and the victim was still the same person.

"I see." Hinata responded dryly and reasonably.

After pondering for a few seconds, he found another topic, "I thought it was Officer Matsuda who was calling. He responded to messages very quickly."

Hagiwara Kenji coughed a few times and tried hard to look serious. He said without blinking: "There was an emergency notice this morning. He jumped up to go to work and ran to defuse the bomb without bringing his mobile phone."

"Otherwise, I can call him now and ask him to say a few words. You are more familiar with him, so you should feel more at ease, right?"

No, if it was Matsuda Jinpei at the scene, then the other party would definitely comfort the victim as if nothing had happened, keep smoothing the victim's hair, and stabilize his mood.

But the other party is not here, so when I call at this time, the sound coming from the phone is definitely not a smooth sound, but a super loud banging sound.

All I can say is that it’s so easy to forget your cell phone.

He nodded silently.

Kenji Hagihara glanced down at his phone, quickly pressed the button to reply to a message, then raised his head, with a smile on his face, and said relaxedly: "Okay, the on-site lockdown is complete, and residents will be notified one by one to evacuate later."

"Now, let's check the bombs in front together first, okay?" He used a gentle questioning tone, then reached out and patted Hinata's reasonable knee, "Stretch your legs straight first, and your knees will block the bombs.

."

Hinata almost kicked the opponent reflexively, but she endured it in time.

He straightened his bent legs and leaned back a little, exposing as much of the bomb on his waist as possible.

Hagiwara Kenji caught him with quick eyes and hands, "Don't lean back, this angle is enough... be gentle, okay."

It seems that the device behind it is indeed serious enough.

Hinata froze her movements reasonably and allowed Hagihara Kenji to study the bomb.

There were hurried footsteps, knocks on the door, conversations, and even some exclamations from both upstairs and downstairs.

The police were already evacuating other people.

After a period of chaos, the cry of a baby was actually heard upstairs. After a few cries, it stopped abruptly.

Hinata was startled for a moment and subconsciously looked up.

It had been a long, long time since he heard the cry of a child.

The last time I heard a child crying was when I was passing by an abandoned base and heard an infinite loop of radio broadcasting the sound of a baby crying just now.

…Then the base was filled with humanoid objects that came after hearing the sound.

Sensing that his body was tense, Hagihara Kenji subconsciously raised his hand and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, that child will go to a safe place... and you will be safe too."

Hinata was slow for a moment before she recalled that to Hagiwara Kenji, she was also a child, so she nodded silently.
