Transform randomly in Kexue World

Chapter 958: Fiery Conan

Conan suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked about the location of the methane collection system and the power station. Suddenly, his "exclusive experience" attribute took effect and he left everyone else and rushed out alone.

Conan didn't bring his skateboard because it couldn't pass security check, and he cut in line and got into a flying car to shorten the journey, regardless of the risk of crashing.

Before the flying car landed, Conan opened the door and jumped out. He really wanted to fly out. Then he landed like a 'hero' and ran towards the underground power station.

Conan entered the power station, dodged the maintenance worker, climbed over the guardrail, bent down and crawled through the gaps in the equipment, and followed the intricate pipes. He found the crude purified methane storage tank and an old worker standing in front of the tank, trying to turn the valve.

The old worker still had his right hand in his pocket, and he struggled to turn the turntable-shaped valve handle with his left hand.

"Stop it, old man. No, Mr. Ichiro Kataoka." Conan said suddenly behind the old worker.

Like every criminal who was suddenly exposed by Conan, Ichiro Kataoka's pupils suddenly shrank as he turned his back to Conan, and his face looked panic-stricken and shocked.

But as he slowly turned around and saw that Conan was the only child behind him, his expression changed to one of friendliness and kindness, though Conan could still sense his reluctance.

"Little boy, why are you here? This place is very dangerous, tourists are not allowed to come in." Kataoka Ichiro said hypocritically: "Uncle is the maintenance personnel here, I was just checking if the valve here is loose."

"This is very important." Conan also replied hypocritically: "If the methane behind the valve leaks out, maybe we and everyone in the venue will be blown up to the sky, just like... cough."

Just like your hand.

After spending so much time with Martin, Conan almost blurted out some words that would expose Martin's weaknesses, but he held it back.

Conan turned around and took two steps, saying, "I got separated from everyone else and got lost here. Grandpa, please take me away."

"Ah... okay." Kataoka Ichiro took a look at the valve that had only been turned a few times but had not seen any change. While following Conan's steps, he thought about how to come up with a contingency plan.

Only then did he remember the strange thing: Conan called out his name.

"Little boy, how do you know my name?"

"You can find out by searching on the Internet." Conan said without hesitation: "Mr. Kataoka Ichiro who was burned in a methane explosion and lost a hand."

My identity has been discovered... Kataoka Ichiro realized: "So, you already know what I'm going to do?"

"Release and detonate the methane here, and let everyone suffer the same pain as you." Conan's eyes were gloomy, and his palm had long been on the tranquilizer gun watch, ready to fire if the situation was wrong: "You are taking revenge on society."

"This society is sick!" Ichiro Kataoka erupted in emotion: "After I was injured, all kinds of voices were heard on the Internet. Some even said that the leaked methane was not dangerous at all, and that the accident happened because of my work ability problems!"

Conan had a complicated expression. He thought that Ichiro Kataoka's remarks were probably released by the World Expo Committee to confuse the public in order to eliminate adverse effects, but this elderly welder really thought that many netizens thought so.

"Some people thought that I must have made a lot of money because I received so much social attention. After I was discharged from the hospital, some people were sarcastic to me, saying that I had bought a rich life with one hand - but I clearly didn't get any benefits! The only thing that the accident brought me, besides the hospital bill, was this!"

Kataoka Ichiro used his left hand to tear open the secret button on the right pocket and opened his coat. Under the coat, he was shirtless, and his right hand was inserted under his belly as if it were a pocket. The opening seemed to have grown together with his wrist. Abdominal pedicled skin flap transplantation is often used for large-area loss or burns of skin and soft tissue on the hands.

"Why did I have to encounter this accident? Why did I lose my job and be looked down upon by my family?" Kataoka Ichiro roared angrily: "Those guys actually said that methane is safe. This is all my own fault!"

"If I detonate the methane here, they will understand how dangerous methane is!"

"Have you ever thought that the tourists you hurt here are the same people as those who hurt you? Aren't they innocent? Why should they be hurt?" Conan asked, "Are the reasons you said really what you really think? Then why did you set the fire? Why did you plant a bomb to threaten everyone?"

Kataoka Ichiro, who was about to argue with Conan, was suddenly stunned: "What arson? Bomb?"

He hasn't heard of what Conan said, let alone done it?

Conan was also stunned, and his back felt cold: "Didn't you burn down the police base and leave a message about the bomb? The 'surveillance' captured the scene of you entering the building!"

"That building with the police... I just went in and stole this map of the internal structure of the methane station."

The police have detailed maps of any areas or buildings with complex terrain within the venue to enable quick passage in the event of an accident.

Conan was shocked. Kataoka Ichiro's emotional state just now didn't seem like he would suddenly lie. So what he said was true, and the bomber was not him? Didn't the bomber attack the methane station?

at this time--

boom! Boom!

Conan was still thinking when he heard the sound of an explosion. Then the surroundings became much darker and the lights went out. And the sound of the explosion seemed to be some distance away... It was a generator, probably a generator some distance away that was blown up.

A few seconds after the power outage, the pumps and filters that were working around him all stopped, making Conan realize that this was part of the plan of the criminal who planted the bomb, which was to cut off the power in the venue.

The darkness around him made Ichiro Kataoka panic. He then took out his lighter and lit it, using the flame to illuminate his vision.

Hiss! A high-pitched sound similar to the air being released from a pressure cooker suddenly sounded.

In fact, for safety reasons, although Kataoka Ichiro opened the inspection valve of the methane tank, the valve would be forced to lock as long as the entire system was in operation. Now that the system was shut down and the lock was released, the gap that Kataoka Ichiro opened before became effective, and high-pressure methane was ejected out.

Conan just figured out where the sound of deflation came from, and when he looked up, he saw Kataoka Ichiro holding a lighter, his pupils constricted: "Oh no! Turn off the light!"

Ichiro Kataoka turned around and saw a sudden burst of blue flames.

The flames were so close, Conan acted instinctively.

"Death comes to call me, but people still love me!" (End of this chapter)
