"What…what are you laughing at?" Ford questioned Ye Ling uneasily, and everyone looked over.
Ye Ling grinned and replied," I'm laughing at you for being too smart. Don't you know that being smart is the opposite of being smart?" If you didn't eliminate the poison, you might be able to escape punishment. However, if you eliminated the poison, you would instead send yourself to the guillotine.”
Ford's entire body trembled." You, what are you talking about?”
Maori Kogoro, Shiratori, Takagi, and Dr. Agasi were also confused. If Ford had removed the traces of the poison, wouldn't there be no clues at all? Why did Ye Ling say that he was getting himself into a trap?
Only Conan reacted. He frowned and subconsciously blurted out," Fingerprints…"
Everyone was stunned.
"Yes, it's a fingerprint." Ye Ling echoed. When Ford wiped off the poison, he inevitably wiped off Asahi's fingerprints from the button. If it was possible for someone else to poison him, then only Mr. Ford, who left the cable car last, could wipe off the poison and fingerprints.”
Ford's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. He had never thought that he would make such a huge mistake.
Why didn't I find out earlier? If Mr. Xu pressed the button, there would definitely be fingerprints on the button. But now, the fingerprints on the button had disappeared, which meant that someone had wiped off the fingerprints. This was something that only he, who had gotten off the cable car in the end, could do…
"Ford! Why do you want to kill me? How did I offend you?" Xu Shengyi was furious." I've lent you tens of millions of yuan, but you're not grateful. You even want to kill me!" he roared. Are you even human?"
The crime was irrefutable. Ford suddenly laughed like a madman." That's the feeling…Xu Shengyi, you're rich. You don't know anything! You lent me so much money, but every time you face me, you're like my benefactor, and I'm like your puppet, obeying your every word! This feeling! I've had enough!"
"F * ck! Did you get your head kicked by a donkey?" Xu Shengyi couldn't help but curse." Do I still need to act like a benefactor? I am your benefactor! Without me, you would have starved to death on the streets!”
Ye Ling was also powerless to complain. Was this the legendary " rising rice grace, fighting rice hatred "?
Xiao Ai sighed inwardly. This was human nature…
Inspector White Bird took out his handcuffs and said coldly,""If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly in the police department.”
Seeing the police approaching, Peterford suddenly took out a remote control with only one button from his pocket and roared,""Don't come over! Otherwise, I'll detonate the bomb!"
Seeing him take out the remote control, hearing his roar, and unbuttoning his clothes to reveal the row of bombs tied to his body, everyone was scared out of their wits. Him! He had actually tied a bomb to his body. This was simply too crazy!
As women, Nainai and Xiaolan screamed in fear. Even Xiao Ai, who was usually calm, looked terrified.
"Mr. Ford! Calm down! Calm down! Let's talk things out!" Inspector White Bird advised in horror.
"I've had enough! Xu Shengyi, I want to die with you!”Ford shouted.
Conan's expression was also extremely ugly. Once the bomb detonated, the surrounding glass would definitely shatter. At such a close distance, even if everyone did not die from the explosion, they would probably drown from the seawater that poured in. No! We can't let him detonate the bomb!
At this time, Conan couldn't care less about the exposure of the anesthetic needle. He opened the watch cover and planned to knock out Ford in public. However, it was too late. Ford had already pressed the button on the remote control with a click.
"Ahhhhh!" The scene was filled with screams, but there was no explosion.
"Hmm?" Everyone, including Ford himself, was stunned.
No explosion? Was he bluffing?
Ford was dumbfounded. Why didn't it explode? He pressed the button desperately, but there was still no movement. Officer White Bird finally reacted and shouted,""Quickly catch him!"
White Bird shouted and immediately rushed forward. Takagi did not show any weakness. The two of them worked together to press Peterford to the ground.
"Ahhh! Let go of me! I want to die with you!" Ford cried out in grief.
"Die together? What a joke! Trying to pass off a bunch of models as a bomb?”Takagi said disdainfully.
Inspector White Bird checked the bomb on Ford's body and his face turned pale.
"Takagi…this, this isn't a model…this is a real bomb!”
"What?" When Takagi heard this, his body immediately froze.
A real bomb? If we make too big of a move, will it cause it to explode?
Conan couldn't help but be surprised. A real bomb? Then why didn't it detonate just now?
Eh? Wait, this kind of thing seems to have happened before... Conan frowned. He thought of the last time he wanted to use anesthesia on the thief Kidd, but when he pressed the button, nothing came out.
Last time and this time, it was Ye Ling who was present... He could not help but look at Ye Ling's side profile. He frowned. Was this really a coincidence? Moreover, Ye Ling had been too calm from the beginning to the end, even when facing the bomb...
……
With the crisis resolved, everyone broke out in cold sweat.
"Detective Ye Ling, thank you so much. If you hadn't stopped me from smoking my cigar, I would probably be dead by now.”Xu Shengyi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and sincerely expressed his gratitude to Ye Ling.""Don't worry, I'm not an ungrateful person like Ford. In the future, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'll definitely help.”
It could be said that his life was saved by Ye Ling.
"Then I won't be polite in the future." Ye Ling smiled and didn't stand on ceremony.
After some discussion, White Bird and Takagi decided to bring Ford ashore first and then contact the explosives disposal team to deal with the bomb on him. Thus, everyone left the underwater hotel and took the cable car back to the shore.
Just as White Bird was calling the police department, Takagi was not paying attention and was knocked to the ground by Ford. Ford then turned around and ran for his life. Although his hands were handcuffed, his legs could still move freely.
"Stop!" Takagi had just fallen to the ground and had yet to stand up when he shouted at the top of his lungs.
However, this was obviously nonsense. If the prisoner could be so obedient, then he wouldn't be a prisoner.
Koguro and Ye Ling immediately chased after him. When Ye Ling saw him turn the corner, she jumped up without thinking and stepped on the roof of the car. She fell from the sky in front of Ford. Ford was scared silly. Then, he felt his feet leave the ground and the world spin.
It turned out that Ye Ling had thrown him over his shoulder. Everyone was shocked. Fortunately, the bomb did not explode.
After this throw, a few poker cards fell out of Ford's pocket. The order was from Ace of Spades to Ten of Spades.
Ye Ling and Conan's pupils constricted when they saw the cards.
