Chapter 1343 The Ending of the Evil Witch Is Destined Not to Be Happy
With Conan's insistence and the approval of other intelligence experts, Hondo Ekai quickly brought the construction drawings of the JUKE Hotel.
Conan took a pen and circled several locations on the drawing: "These places should be where bombs are installed, but..."
Before he could finish his words, the CIA had already taken quick action.
Some policemen wearing anti-explosive suits rushed to the location circled by Conan as quickly as possible, and sure enough, they really found a large amount of explosives here.
These bombs are all time bombs, and the time set on them happens to be the original end time of the banquet, which is less than half an hour away.
"Little brother, you are so awesome." A German praised.
"How do you know that by planting bombs in these places you can blow up the building?" asked an Israeli.
"Uh..." Conan scratched the back of his head nervously, "I, I learned it in Hawaii!"
"Oh! Hawaii!" The agents all showed expressions of wonder.
Conan: "..."
Are these people serious? Is there really some kind of secret agent training camp in Hawaii?
"My lady, all the bombs have been eliminated." The CIA walked into the banquet hall and reported to our hall Yinghaihui.
"Well, how many explosives are there in total?"
"About five hundred kilograms."
Our hall, Yinghai, was startled: "Only 500 kilograms?"
"Yes, but we have analyzed it and found that since the bombs are installed at the main bearing points of the building, these bombs are enough to destroy the entire building."
Hall Yinghai's expression suddenly changed: "Oops! There is another explosion location!"
Conan looked heavy - this was what he wanted to say before he had time to say it. He had just discovered that the enemy did not need a ton of explosives to destroy the JUKE Hotel, and the facts confirmed his speculation.
"It must be difficult to transport so many explosives." The French frowned and analyzed, "Their next target should be near Washington, and it should be a densely populated area."
The Israeli said: "Aren't you, the United States, hosting some kind of Conference of Nations recently? I heard that the Conference of Nations is holding an event on Broadway in New York tonight. Is that their target?"
The young CIA who was following our hall Yinghai immediately frowned and asked, "You know our confidential information very well, right?"
"Haha, I just got to know each other occasionally."
"you--"
"Okay." This hall Yinghai suppressed his impulsive colleague, "Now is not the time to talk about this."
Conan's eyebrows jumped.
etc! What was the address Mr. Asano sent him before?
He quickly took out his cell phone and found the address Asano Nobushige had sent him before - the Hudson Theater on Broadway!
Oops! Xiaolan is on Broadway now! !
"Kid, what are you doing?!" Mouri Kogoro wanted to reach out to catch Conan, but Conan ran away quickly like a loach.
No, don't panic!
The distance between New York and Washington is not short, and it is impossible for him to reach Xiaolan before the end of the show. Think about who you can turn to for help now!
The first figure in Conan's mind is Asano Nobushige.
Mr. Asano is with Xiaolan. As long as he is here, nothing will happen to Xiaolan.
Conan quickly called Asano Nobushige.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Asano!!" Conan asked anxiously, "Where's Xiaolan? Is Xiaolan with you? Are you still at the Hudson Theater now?"
Nobuhiro quickly replied: "Miss Xiaolan is not with me, I am rushing to New York."
Conan's face changed greatly: "If you are so anxious, it seems that the guess is true? Is the organization's target really Broadway?!"
He didn't ask Asano Nobushige why he wasn't with Mao Lilan. It's meaningless to say that now. Nothing can happen to Xiaolan!
"Don't be anxious yet," Nobufan said, "Belmode and Miss Xiaolan are together. I'm about to call and ask about the situation."
Belmode?
No, this will make him even more anxious! !
Conan rushed to stop the car. Even if he knew it was too late, he still wanted to get closer to Xiaolan, even closer.
"Mr. Asano, listen to me, the organization still has at least 500 kilograms of explosives. I have seen the drawings of the Hudson Theater. Five hundred kilograms of explosives are enough to destroy the theater and surrounding buildings. Their goal is very likely That's it!" Conan said breathlessly, "We must inform Xiaolan to leave the theater immediately. JUKE's time bomb will explode in ten minutes, and it is estimated that the time at the Hudson Theater will be about the same."
"I see."
After leaving such a sentence, Nobuhiro hung up the phone and dialed Belmod instead.
While waiting for the call to be connected, he quickly typed a message to Imran stationed in New York, asking him to quickly arrange for the evacuation of the audience.
Imran’s first priority must be to ensure the safety of state officials, so Nobuhiro specifically emphasized in the email that he asked him to help protect Maurilan.
He must be more concerned about getting rid of his partners.
The call has not been connected for a long time, and I don’t know what Bellmode is doing.
…
Broadway Boulevard·Hudson Theater
Tonight's performance at the Hudson Theater is a musical called "Wicked". The play is known as the most ambitious work after "The Phantom of the Opera". It is the most watched, spectacular and most spectacular work in the world in history. One of the most successful plays.
Tonight, due to the Conference of Nations, half of the Hudson Theater was blocked off, and only the remaining half was open to the public.
Mao Lilan and Belmode were sitting in the best viewing position in the open area - but it was also the furthest away from the safety exit.
"Have you seen The Wizard of Oz?" Chris suddenly asked softly.
"I watched it when I was a kid." Mao Lilan nodded, "But I've only watched the first part. I heard there are many more stories behind it."
Chrissy raised her chin toward the stage: "This musical is based on the Land of Oz in The Wizard of Oz, but unlike The Wizard of Oz, the protagonist of the story is the Wicked Witch of the West."
"The bad witch... does she mean the kind of witch who will be tied to the stake?"
In Mao Lilan's impression, these witches often wear black and purple robes, hold black cats that symbolize misfortune, and impose curses on kind people. Like the uninvited fairy in Sleeping Beauty. They are not welcomed by anyone and can only survive in the dark forests and sewers.
"Yes, witches who commit crimes will one day be burned to death. And their souls can only be trapped in hell, suffering the destruction of fire and boiling oil."
When Belmode said these words, his expression was very serious, but his eyes were different from what Mao Lilan had seen before.
In Chris Wynyard's body, Mao Lilan felt the breath of death.
She was like a living dead that had long since lost its vitality. Only the beating of her heart could prove that she was still alive.
Mao Lilan seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood in the air. Under Chrissy Wynyard's beautiful and cold appearance, there seemed to be the screams of countless injustice souls.
"Chris..." After speaking, Mao Lilan realized that her voice had become extremely hoarse, and it seemed that it was very difficult to even speak simply.
But there was something she wanted to say to the woman in front of her no matter what: "Chris, even if they are evil witches, there must be someone who can discover their beauty."
Belmod didn't speak, just stared at her quietly.
"Not everyone will be blinded by the so-called justice. This world is not black and white. I only know that no matter what happens or who, it is enough to believe in your own heart."
It's unbelievable that she would say such things to a "stranger" whom she didn't know very well.
Oops, Miss Wynyard must think she's weird, right?
After Mao Lilan finished speaking, she lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Chrissy's expression.
"Ah, it's unbelievable." Belmod laughed softly. Mao Lilan didn't see it. Her eyes had long since turned cold, leaving only a pool of gentle spring water. "I thought angels wouldn't It’s impossible for someone to smile heartily to me even once. I didn’t expect that…”
Angel?
The familiar name made Mao Lilan feel a little dazed.
"But the story that an evil witch like Elphaba can have a happy ending can only be seen in works of art." Chris murmured to herself, "What's more, even the love story in "Wicked" Elphaba is not a truly unforgivable witch. It is impossible for a bad witch to have beautiful friendships and family ties. We have already abandoned this kind of thing."
Mao Lilan suddenly realized.
What did Chrissy want to tell her?
"Since the ending is destined to be impossible," Chris smiled at Mao Lilan, "then let the good things last as long as possible."
"Chris..."
“Bang——” The suddenly opened door affected the emotional performance of the actors on the stage.
"In the event of an emergency, please follow the staff and evacuate in an orderly manner!" The person who suddenly appeared shouted towards the theater.
"What happened?"
"Is it a terrorist attack? Isn't it very dangerous in Washington recently?"
"ah?"
The unusual emotions in Belmode's eyes had all dissipated. She stood up and protected Mao Lilan: "Let's go."
"Miss Wynyard, do you know what happened?"
The Hudson Theater was almost full, and it was not easy to suddenly evacuate everyone at once.
And not long after the evacuation started, someone suddenly shouted: "There is a bomb!"
It was like a large magnesium block was suddenly thrown into the calm water, and the whole place suddenly boiled.
People fled in a hurry, and some actors who were originally standing on the stage were also squeezed off. They were wearing complicated costumes, which made them even more crowded in the crowd.
Falling, stampeding, crying, and screaming filled every corner of the Hudson Theater.
"Maybe it's a time bomb." Belmod had no intention of hiding it from Mao Lilan, but her calm voice made Mao Lilan miraculously calm down.
Belmode was as light as a swallow, and Mao Lilan was also a karate master. They quickly passed through the crowd and came to the only safe exit.
However, here, they encountered obstacles.
"You can't go there." The staff stopped him, "Wait patiently and don't be crowded!!"
"Why are we made to wait? What happened to those people? Why can they leave?"
A trace of impatience flashed across the brows of the staff: "They are them, and you are you! Can ordinary people be the same as officials? They are all national leaders, and of course their safety must be ensured first!"
This kind of thing happens everywhere.
Belmode glanced at the staff blocking the door. There were many people, and she couldn't subdue them all by herself. Moreover, Department of Homeland Security officials are at the gate, and even if you get through this level, you will still be stopped by them.
"Ah!" Mao Lilan suddenly shouted in a low voice, "My ankle..."
Belmod immediately looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"
Mao Lilan smiled bitterly: "Someone stepped on me just now, and my ankle seemed to be sprained."
In order to avoid being trampled, she injured her foot while dodging.
Mao Lilan's situation made Belmod decisively give up the forced invasion.
But there is no need to escape through the door, the window is a good escape route.
Belmode carried Mao Lilan on his shoulders and walked towards the back of the stage against the flow of people.
"Miss Wynyard?" Mao Lilan said embarrassedly, "You can put me down and I will follow them. You should go out first."
Belmode ignored her request.
"Miss Wynyard..."
"Be quiet." Belmod whispered, "You came out with me, and I have an obligation to send you back safely."
"boom--"
In an instant, dust was flying and debris was flying.
Belmode quickly squatted down and reached out to protect Mao Lilan's head.
Mao Lilan asked dully: "Has the explosion already happened? Are we unable to escape?"
Belmod's expression was very serious.
Such a big movement is definitely not something ordinary people can make with a little explosives.
The organization must have done it, but she didn't expect that even she was kept in the dark and had no idea of tonight's plan.
If she had been in advance, she would never have brought Mao Lilan to watch the musical at the Hudson Theater tonight.
"Looking at the location where the explosion occurred, the door of the Hudson Theater should have been blocked by rubble, but the overall structure of the building has not been greatly affected." After a calm analysis, Belmode came to the most rational conclusion, "We Go backstage."
Fortunately, Mao Lilan's injury made her determined to find another way out, otherwise they would be the ones buried under the rubble now.
Part of the theater was blown up, and Belmod led Mao Lilan through it with difficulty.
During this period, Belmode showed abilities beyond that of an ordinary star. Her understanding of the explosion range of bombs, her mastery of the principles of bombs, and even her emergency treatment of wounds were beyond Mao Lilan's expectations.
But even if she realized that Chris Wynyard's identity was unusual, Mao Lilan still couldn't be suspicious and wary of her.
After all, it was this woman who rescued her from danger just now, and she even got injured because of it.
"Miss Wynyard, your injury..."
"Don't call me Miss Wynyard." Bellmode smiled at her and said, "If you can, call me Sharon."
Eh? Sharon? ! !
