The two men, each holding three large fire extinguishers, ran towards the middle-aged man's house.

"Thank you, I will definitely return the money you spent on the fire extinguisher!" The middle-aged man was very grateful.

Although I intend to do a good deed every day

I did, but I still nodded and agreed on the 20th. After tomorrow, whether he can find me and pay me back is another matter.

Following the middle-aged man, we ran along the winding alleys of the commercial street for more than a hundred meters and arrived at the residential area behind the commercial street.

Looking up at the five-story building, No. 20 was a little dumbfounded, "You live on the top floor..."

The middle-aged man was already rushing up the stairs holding a fire extinguisher.

Number 20 took a deep breath.

Stand up! Me!

Don't forget, you were once a man living in Dormitory 713! How can you back down for just five floors?

Are Japan's low houses killing your fighting spirit?

Think back... think back to when I climbed seven floors carrying a 42-pound suitcase in my right hand, bedding in my left hand, and a 20-pound schoolbag on my back. I felt the courage to risk my life!

I'm a professional baseball player now, I should be better than before!

How can I surrender to a mere five floors?

"Haaaaaaah——"

No. 20 rushed upstairs holding a fire extinguisher, taking three steps at a time. He rushed for 40 seconds, passed middle-aged people along the way, and rushed directly to the top floor!

More than twenty minutes had passed since the middle-aged man went to the supermarket to buy dinner and returned home to find a fire blocking the door and preventing him from entering or putting out the fire.

The middle-aged man opened the door to let the smoke out, and black smoke was spewing out. Flames were surging at the door. He just stayed inside the door because there was no flammable material that could burn in the corridor, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The billowing black smoke made No. 20 cough madly. What a miscalculation. I should have gotten a wet towel from the convenience store to cover my mouth and nose.

In elementary school, junior high school, high school and university, countless teachers and firefighters have earnestly told students the precautions at fire scenes countless times, and fire drills have been conducted several times, but when something really happens, we still forget everything.

I didn’t know what was happening with the children in the house, and I didn’t have time to go downstairs to get a towel on the 20th. I could only take off my coat and tie it around my face to filter out the black smoke.

Inhaling smoke from a fire scene would certainly cause great harm to the body, but this ID card would die tomorrow, so no matter how much damage it did to the body, it wouldn't matter.

He opened the seal, pulled out the safety pin, pressed the duckbill and sprayed violently into the door.

Dry powder fire extinguishers are most efficient when extinguishing solid fires and are just the right choice.

The flames at the door were quickly suppressed, but soon the powder in the fire extinguisher was sprayed out.

"How long has it been... Can a five-kilogram fire extinguisher only last for ten seconds?"

Seeing the flames sweeping back again, No. 20 immediately opened the second fire extinguisher and moved in with the middle-aged man who ran up breathlessly.

Six five-kilogram fire extinguishers put out most of the fire, but as soon as we relaxed for a moment, the flames would rebound into a big fire. In the end, all six fire extinguishers were used up and they only put the fire into the living room.

It shouldn't be...

On the 20th, there was an ID card holder who had opened a store and had undergone a fire inspection. The Fire Protection Law stipulates that a store of 100 square meters needs to be equipped with more than 2 4-kilogram portable dry powder fire extinguishers.

In other words, two four-kilogram fire extinguishers are enough to extinguish a 100-square-meter store.

They have six five-kilogram fire extinguishers.

No. 20 felt something was wrong with his feet. He looked down at the thick layer of dry powder under his feet, then silently raised his head and followed the middle-aged man, shouting his child's name.

"father!"

A child's weak cry was heard from the bedroom balcony.

The paper door of the bedroom had long been burned through by the fire, leaving only the frame.

Although they had put out most of the fire in the living room, the fire in the bedroom was still burning.

It is winter now, and the bedroom floor is piled with quilts, books and other flammable materials. With six fire extinguishers, it would be difficult to put out the fire in the bedroom with the poor fire extinguisher usage skills of No. 20 and the middle-aged man, right?

The middle-aged man raised his legs and tried to rush inside, but 20 held him tightly, "Bathroom! Where is the bathroom? Go get some water from the bathroom and wet your clothes before going in!"

The middle-aged man, who was so anxious that he lost his mind, turned around and rushed to the bathroom near the door. He poured a bucket of water stored in the bathroom to prevent water outage on himself, and rushed into the bedroom with water dripping from his body.

No. 20 grabbed a towel from the towel rack in the bathroom, soaked it, first tore off his coat, tied the wet towel over his mouth and nose, then held the other two and stood guard at the bedroom door. After the middle-aged man brought his child out, he first covered the child's face with the wet towel, and then gave the last one to the middle-aged man to filter out the smoke and dust.

The two of them carried the child and walked through the smoke and dust in the corridor before returning downstairs, untying their towels and breathing in deep gulps of fresh air.

"Fuck, I don't want to step into a fire scene again in my life!"

No. 20 was sitting on the ground resting in a very undignified manner when the old men and women who had come to watch the smoke suddenly started to shout, "Is there a child on top of the air conditioner?"

What kid?

No. 20 raised his head dully and looked in the direction the uncles and aunts were pointing.

A child who looked only five or six years old was lying on the air conditioner outside the rooftop terrace, trembling and crying loudly. I don't know if it was because he was too excited or the fabric on his body was too slippery, but he suddenly fell down.

The child slipped and his whole body slid out of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Fortunately, the child reacted quickly and grabbed the iron frame supporting the air conditioner outdoor unit and hung in the air.

The crowd screamed, and an old lady who lived nearby went home and got a bed sheet as soon as she found the child, trying to catch the child.

But the young and middle-aged men are still working in the company and competing for business orders in the pub... Most of the old men and women present are already blind, so how can they catch a child with a bed sheet as accurately as they did when they were young?

"Let go, kid!"

No. 20 took off the towel on his face and threw the baseball cap on his head to the ground. He asked the old lady to tie both sides of the bed sheet tightly around his arms, making a simple cushioning cloth bag and standing under the child.

The child held on to the iron frame tightly, not daring to let go.

"Listen, I'm a professional baseball player for the Panthers, Neng Snob!"

"Nosei Risaku is about to break Japan's scoring record!"

"It's easy for me to catch a ball as big as yours. It's a simple thing!"

"Use your life, use my career, and join me... to win this game!!"

Chapter 438 Baseball Hero!

After Conan finished taking the statement, he was taken to the venue by the patrolman. Halfway through the journey, the patrolman suddenly received an emergency notice and looked at Conan with difficulty, "Are you in a hurry to go to the venue? There was a fire nearby, and a fire truck had an accident on the way. I have to clear the way for the second fire truck..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry!"

Conan sat in the passenger seat while the patrolman skillfully evacuated traffic and led the fire truck to the community where the fire had broken out.

The residential area where the fire broke out was near a commercial street, and people who were watching the excitement surrounded the area in three layers. The patrol police honked their horns while evacuating the people, and the crowd that was blocking the road finally dispersed.

Because the road to this residential building is narrow, the patrol officer simply parked the police car outside, ran inside with the horn in hand and asked people to stand on both sides.

Although Conan was small and couldn't help much in putting out the fire, he took the other horn on the patrol car and ran while shouting for people to get out of the way, and soon ran to the bottom of the building.

The people downstairs seemed to be concentrating all their attention on something. They could not hear the patrolman telling them to disperse and just looked up at something.

Conan looked up and his pupils shrank.

The child trapped on the air conditioner was dangling in the air by holding onto the iron frame. The worst thing was that the air conditioner on the old residential building was making a crackling sound and was beginning to fall apart. It would be even more difficult to deal with if the air conditioner and the child fell off together...

Conan touched his waist.

It just so happened that today, Xiaolan took the football belt to be cleaned!

Damn it! Is there still time to find sheets or wait for the firefighters to set up the inflatable bed?

"--Listen, I'm the professional baseball player for the Panthers, Neng Snob!"

In the center of the crowd, an uncle whose clothes were soaked with sweat and who had obviously walked into the fire had untied his scarf and thrown away his hat.

Conan looked at the man's face.

When Conan was sitting in the passenger seat of the patrol car on the way to the venue, he heard a radio program on TV interviewing the three members of the Noh Force.

He is the baseball player that Xiaolan's mother admires most.

The eyes of the third contestant were full of determination. He opened his arms, got ready, and shouted, "Come on!"

The child loosened his grip.

He closed his eyes tightly and fell from the rooftop amid the screams of the crowd.

It’s very simple...very simple!

Catching a child is ten thousand times easier than catching a baseball!

When TV dramas show a scene of a person jumping off a building, they always slow it down, slow it down, and slow it down again, so that the scene of the character's death is deeply engraved in the audience's mind.

But in reality, it only takes two seconds to fall from the fifth floor to the ground!

The third contestant was seen taking a step forward to the left and stretching out his hand, taking a steady horse stance. The next second, the child fell directly onto the bed sheet between his arms.

The huge impact from top to bottom would make people fall forward subconsciously, but the three players were able to slide their legs forward, causing the child, whose impact was mitigated by the bed sheet, to fall on his soft belly.

“Puff—cough cough cough cough!”

The pain and discomfort were blocked by the system in time, but due to physical limitations, No. 20 lay on the ground and was unable to sit up for a long time.

The ignorant child on his body was still moving on his stomach, "You really caught me! Daddy is right, Nose is indeed the strongest!"

Number 20 weakly raised his hand and high-fived the kid, "Of course, but if you press on my belly again I'll have to retire today..."

Although the old men and women who were watching were unable to catch the child who fell from the rooftop, they were still able to carry the child away. The old ladies hurriedly carried the child to the commercial street to find his parents who worked there, and the old men helped No. 20 aside.

The fire truck finally arrived and stopped downstairs to start putting out the fire.

When the firefighters were putting out the fire, the air conditioner outdoor unit squeaked and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the onlookers enthusiastically reported the matter of the air conditioner outdoor unit to the firefighters. A large cordon was set up nearby when it fell, and no one was hurt.

If the child had continued to apply gravity on it, he would have probably fallen down along with the air conditioner outdoor unit.

No. 20

After he recovered a little, he stood up with difficulty. He was surrounded by a group of old men and women, who were very enthusiastic and praised him until his face turned red.

An old man who didn't know what his job was but carried a pen with him even opened his coat and wanted No. 20 to sign his shirt.

"You can't sign it, right? Contestant Nose just caught the kid with both hands, and now he's probably shaking too much to write."

A familiar child's voice sounded behind No. 20. Conan rejected those old people on behalf of No. 20. The patrolman he called immediately took him to the patrol car. "I heard that Nose caught a child with his bare hands? In two days, you will participate in the game that can break the Japanese scoring record, right? - You must go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible!"

No. 20 actually didn't care, but the people around him looked at him with extremely worried expressions. As a baseball player, it was too out of character for him to not pay attention to protecting his hands, so he got on the patrol car, sat side by side with Conan, and was taken to the hospital by the patrol officer.

"It's a joint strain, but fortunately it's not to the extent of tendon rupture. Don't worry, it will be completely healed."

The doctor took a large bag of ice and put it on No. 20's arm as a cold compress. While relieving the pain, it also reduced local acute inflammatory exudation, local congestion and edema, making the wound easier to recover.

"That's great!"

No. 20 smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked very lucky and comforted Conan and the patrolman who were very concerned about his injury. "I can rely on these arms to eat. It's great that they can get better!"

Conan stood on tiptoe to read the doctor's diagnosis, his face serious, "Doctor, how long will it take for Nose's arm to be able to compete normally? He has a very important game next week!"

The doctor doesn't watch baseball. After listening to Conan's description of baseball, she shook her head in embarrassment. "The tendon is not ruptured, only the ligament is damaged. It will be relieved in about a week... But it's just relief. Playing baseball, a sport that requires the most arm strength, may cause secondary damage, and you won't be able to exert your full strength."

it is as expected.

Conan looked at No. 20 worriedly, "Then Nose's score record, isn't it..."

No. 20 recalled that the monitor had repeatedly reminded us in the group these two days to protect Conan's fragile little heart.

Although No. 20 didn't think Conan was fragile, he still rubbed Conan's head and smiled heartily.

"Why don't we wait until the next game to break it?"

Chapter 439 A more unique flag

That's right.

but.

Conan lowered his head, and his mind flashed back to the news that had been widely publicized on major TV stations, newspapers and radio stations in recent days: "Top-notch professional baseball player Noshiro will break the All-Japan scoring record at the Baseball Open next Thursday."

"With so many hopes and expectations, if I told everyone before the game that my hand was injured, I would definitely be scolded."

Even if he was saving a child's life, irrational fans would scold him, saying that there were so many people near the commercial street, why did a baseball player need him to save a child? Do you know how important hands are to baseball players? He has no professional ethics and despises his baseball career... etc.

"Insignificant noise is worthless compared to life."

In addition to the last time when he found a guy with mental problems and asked Morii Shinmi to help with psychological counseling, it was also the first time for No. 20 to save someone's life personally. He was in a very good mood. "When it was time to shoot, I shot without hesitation. Real baseball fans will definitely cheer for my straightforward and decisive shot!"

Conan looked at No. 20 with sparkling eyes, "When will your hand be good enough to write?"

"Hmm?" No. 20 raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding what Conan meant.
