Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 156 Official declaration of war
"What happened?"

Seeing the customers collapse to the ground one after another, all the waiters in the store were stunned. It was not until Xia He reminded them to call an ambulance that they reacted and quickly took out their cell phones.

"What...what is going on?"

The two girls who had come to take a photo with Xia He just now stood up from their seats peacefully, covering their mouths with horror on their faces.

Xia He didn't find it strange, and just replied calmly: "The symptoms look like food poisoning."

The two girls had just entered the restaurant and the food they ordered had not yet been served, so there was naturally no possibility of poisoning.

As for Xia and himself...

With his current physical condition, this little bit of poison will not have any effect on him unless he eats rice soaked in arsenic.

"But how could there be food poisoning? The ingredients in our store have always been strictly controlled." When the restaurant owner heard Xia He's words, sweat immediately covered his forehead.

"It's not necessarily a problem with the ingredients themselves. In my opinion, it's more likely to be human-induced."

"Man-made?"

The restaurant owner wiped the sweat from his forehead, his panic worsened, "You mean, someone poisoned the food?"

"probably."

Xia He rubbed his chin and thought that the possibility was only about 99%. For the remaining 1%, it was possible that the ingredients had suddenly mutated.

After all, in the world of science, everything is possible.

"Well... they said that several accidents have just happened nearby, and there are too many injured people now, so there are no extra ambulances available." The waiter put down the phone and looked at Xia He with a very nervous mood.

Xia He immediately stood up and looked at the guests who were still standing around him and said, "Then I can only trouble those of you who haven't eaten yet to help carry these patients to the hospital across the street."

……

In front of Sago Hospital.

Conan stood next to Akai Shuichi, looked around, and couldn't help but ask: "Where's Xia He?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"

Akai Shuichi thought, didn't you two grow up together as childhood friends? Even you don't know where he is, so how could I know?
"That guy, the people of the Black Organization have already taken the initiative to attack, where did he go?"

Seeing that Shuichi Akai didn't know where Xia He was, Conan couldn't help but frown.

Just as he was about to make a few more phone calls to Xia He, a large number of patients were brought in by medical staff outside the wall and ran towards the hospital gate in a hurry.

"and many more!"

Upon seeing this, FBI investigator James Blake quickly stopped the man.

After asking, I learned about the current situation.

It wasn't just food poisoning. Two major accidents also occurred within a radius of less than one kilometer from here.

One was a toxic gas leak in a factory.

One was a sudden fire.

Right now, there are probably hundreds of injured people on their way to this hospital. James can't imagine how chaotic the hospital will become once they all rush in.

"Is this the Black Organization's plan?"

It was not difficult for them to guess that all three accidents were caused by the winery.

But before the incident, no one could have imagined that those guys would be so cruel.

"What should we do? Should we let them in?" Akai Shuichi asked, looking at the patient's family members who were blocked at the door and were already becoming anxious and angry.

"Let those with more serious injuries go in first, and try to calm the rest down. Then notify the local police station and have them dispatch all available vehicles to transport the injured to other hospitals for treatment." "Understood."

Akai Hideya nodded, then immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the police station.

Then, because saving lives was of the utmost importance, a group of FBI agents also joined the team to maintain order.

The riot at the scene was temporarily brought under control.

at the same time.

"Sir, someone just sent a lot of plants in the name of Kusuda Rikudo." An agent came over holding a pot of green ivy and looked at James.

"Kusuda Rikumichi?"

Wasn’t Kusuda Rikumichi the member of the Black Organization who shot himself in the head because he was forced into a corner during the arrest?
Upon hearing this, James took the potted plant.

However, Conan, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed something was not right.

"Hey...did you hear any noise?"

"Sound?" Akai Shuichi looked at Conan.

"It sounds like the ticking of a clock."

He just finished speaking.

Suddenly remembering something, Shuichi Akai quickly dug out the green plant in the pot. Sure enough, there was a time bomb buried in the soil underneath.

"It will explode in thirty minutes?" James narrowed his eyes after looking at the time displayed on the bomb. "Is this considered a formal declaration of war on us? That damn Black Organization..."

"Do we need to notify the bomb disposal personnel to come over?" Akai Shuichi asked first, and then answered himself: "But judging from the appearance of this thing, the design seems to be quite complicated. In addition, the nearby transportation of the wounded has caused a certain degree of traffic congestion. Notifying the bomb disposal experts now... I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

"Then just transport the bomb to an uninhabited area and let it explode."

James thought that such a small bomb, even if filled with explosives, could only destroy a car at best. As long as it was taken to a wider area or into a river within 30 minutes, the crisis could be resolved immediately.

However, before Akai Shuichi could take the bomb and leave, another FBI officer, Andre Kamil, came over with two potted plants. He looked at the three and said, "I just saw a few packages at the hospital front desk. The senders on them all said 'Kusuda Rikumichi'. Do you know what's going on?"

James: “?”

Akai Shuichi: "??"

Conan: "???"

……

"The Black Organization never thought of leaving anyone alive."

"The so-called rescue plan is nothing more than a cover."

"Their real purpose is to use these bombs to kill Rena Mizunashi in this hospital."

After learning from the front desk that a man named Kusuda Rikumichi had sent more than sixty packages to the hospital this morning, James couldn't help but twitch his mouth and made this analysis.

"Sixty packages...if all of them contain time bombs...they would be enough to collapse the entire hospital." Akai Shuichi muttered in a low voice.

"Notify everyone here immediately and ask them to take all the bombs in the packages outside the hospital without alerting anyone."

James was very anxious and gave orders again.

the other side.

Wearing a white coat and a mask, Toru Amuro, disguised as a medical worker, is now walking towards the ward where Rena Mizunashi is.
