Chapter 545: Hospital Full of Bombs
the other side.
Judy and Kamal were stuck on the way to a waste treatment plant.
It had been several minutes since the car had made any progress. If it continued like this, the bomb would explode before we reached the garbage dump.
Judy couldn't help but ask, "Kamel, is this road really a shortcut to the garbage disposal plant?" If she followed her original route, maybe she would have arrived soon?
Kamal sat in the back seat, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "Yes, but I remember there were very few cars on this road before. Why is it so crowded today..."
Judy felt something was wrong: "Let me ask, when was the past that you are talking about?"
Kamal smiled faintly: "Two years ago."
Judy was shocked: "Two years ago?!"
Kamal: "Yes, maybe it's because of those three accidents that there's a traffic jam here? But speaking of it..." Kamal tilted his head and glanced behind him, "I've been hearing a ticking sound since just now. Did you put a clock or something in the trunk?"
"Huh?" Judy's face changed. Thinking about the purpose of their trip, could it be that there was a time bomb installed in James' car?
If there really was a bomb and it exploded in a place like this... Judy looked at the crowded cars around her and wondered how many people would be affected.
"I'll go down and take a look!" Judy quickly unbuckled her seat belt, walked around to the back of the car, opened the trunk and took a look - it was empty inside, there was nothing.
Judy ran to question Carmel, but found that there was no one in the back seat. When she looked again, she saw that he had sat in the driver's seat without her knowing.
Kamal glanced at her and said, "If you don't come up, I'm going to drive away."
Judy complained but still got in the passenger seat, fastening her seat belt while questioning, "Why did you have to get in the driver's seat?"
Kamal said calmly, "Because it's too troublesome to explain, it's faster to do it this way. Besides, my driving skills are much better than yours, and we don't have much time."
Judy subconsciously glanced at the time bomb and saw that there were only about twelve minutes left.
Although the reason was sufficient, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
After seeing Judy sitting firmly, Kamal released the handbrake and controlled the car to reverse.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do?" Judy grabbed the time bomb in panic, looking at the rearview mirror with a look of panic, and almost hit the car behind!
"Hold on tight!" Kamal said, stepped on the accelerator, turned the front of the car and rushed directly to the next lane.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Judy shouted in panic, "Why did you drive here?!"
Kamal said as he controlled the car, "Aren't there absolutely no cars here?"
"But...front! Front!" Judy yelled.
Kamal let out a click of his tongue and decisively shifted the car into reverse gear. The car quickly backed up, then did a dragon-like tail swing and turned the front of the car to head in the opposite direction - well, according to this lane, this was the correct direction.
Seeing that Carmel had no intention of stopping the car, Judy quickly asked, "Where are you going? The garbage disposal plant is in the opposite direction!"
Kamal said calmly, "I'm not going anywhere. You can't ask me to go the other way all the time, right? The key now is to find a place where there's no one, right? I happen to know one nearby."
Judy was stunned for a moment.
···
After discovering that the courier delivered bombs twice in a row.
Youye touched his chin and said, "This guy said that he has sent several parcels here today, and the sender is the same. If my guess is correct..."
A drop of sweat dripped down Conan's forehead. "Although your guess is a bit too bold... Unfortunately, I think so too."
Akai Shuichi said solemnly: "Let's report this matter to James first."
After all, he is the commander-in-chief of this operation.
The three of them returned to the parking lot with the two express boxes and told James what happened briefly and clearly.
James' face suddenly changed: "What? The hospital received a lot of these packages that are suspected to contain bombs?"
Youye said in a deep voice: "Although it is just our speculation, under the current circumstances, it should be almost certain."
James' face was extremely solemn. He took out his cell phone and called Judy: "Hello Judy, how are you doing?"
"We have dealt with the bomb and are on our way back. We will be at the hospital soon."
James breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Oh? It seems that you have successfully arrived at the garbage disposal plant?"
"No, Kamal took me to a river where there was no one nearby. We threw the bomb into the river and detonated it..."
"You're doing great Judy. There's a new situation at the hospital, so you guys need to speed up."
"Roger that!"
James hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Everything is going well with Judy. The bomb has been dealt with."
Akai Hide nodded. He looked at the bomb in the courier box. The time displayed on it was a few hours away. "With the size of this bomb, just one can blow up the entire ward. If there are more than a dozen or even dozens of them exploding at the same time..."
James' face turned pale: "That's not the entire hospital building, no, maybe even the hospital will be blown up?"
Akai Shuichi frowned and thought for a while, then said, "In short, these bombs should explode at the same time, and we still have..." He glanced at the timer, "4 hours."
James said quickly: "Then I will gather all the people immediately and wait for Judy and Carmel to come back."
James contacted the heads of each area via radio and then gathered everyone together.
During this time, Judy and Carmel also returned.
Seeing everyone gathered, James said in a deep voice: "We have just investigated clearly. In addition to the courier you found by Akai, there are several other courier companies that sent express packages to the hospital in the name of Kusuda Rikumichi today. The total number is... 60 pieces!"
Judy said thoughtfully, "Is this why they created three accidents and caused so many extra patients in the hospital?"
"Under such chaotic circumstances, and with multiple couriers mailing the items, it is impossible for the hospital to check everything inside."
Someone raised the question: "But how did they know the patient's name and ward number?"
Judy speculated, "It was Kusuda Rikumichi. He sneaked into the nurses' station and took photos of the patient's list and ward numbers. He probably got this information from the photos."
James said, "Anyway, we still have about four hours. All search officers are dispatched now to check and recover bombs in each ward!"
"Yes!"
