Soon, a glass of water was brought into the interrogation room.

At Edwards' strong request, the glass of water was actually still soaked in water, with ice cubes inside, and even a straw.

After the water was sent in, Edwards also asked the guard to untether one of the prisoners opposite.

This behavior aroused doubts and dissatisfaction among other staff members. They all felt that this detective was a bit too humble.

In prison, did the prisoner actually get the air-carved water?

Are you crazy?

It's already great not to spit on the prisoner's face!

Is this detective really a Sherlock-level?

Of course Edwards must be at the Sherlock level, and because he is at the Sherlock level, he can smell how dangerous the guy in front of him is.

"Ahhhhh~ It's still ice." The prisoner smacked his lips happily, and then tried hard to suck the bubble water in the cup with a straw. Because the corners of his mouth were cut open and it was a bit air leaking, so he always made an unpleasant sizzling sound when he sucked.

But Edwards did not reveal a slight irritation. He quietly waited for the other party to tell himself what the 700 million meant.

Suddenly

"Ring~Ring~Ring~"

A string of phone rings rang, and the person outside the interrogation room answered the phone, as if he had heard something incredible, so he quickly pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

"Mr. Edwards, someone is looking for you."

"Didn't you see me interrogating the prisoner?!" Edwards tried his best to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, but he was still a little angry.

"Well, I'm sorry, but there is a case that you may need to deal with, a bank robbery."

"Robbery? Why do you want to find me such a small thing? Go to other detectives? I'm busy."

"【Storyteller】" said the staff member.

"What did you say?" Edwards was stunned.

The staff member of the "storyteller" said: "The person on the phone said, if you don't answer the phone, you will tell you the word "storyteller".

Edwards frowned. He didn't understand why the storyteller called him at this time. At the same time, he looked at the prisoner in front of him. He found that the other party was still sucking in the bubble water just as if he hadn't heard anyone call in. Edwards hesitated for a while, and finally, he rushed out of the interrogation room and grabbed the phone.

"Hey! I'm the cook, what's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, the storyteller's voice sounded, sounding a little anxious: "Robbery, 115th Street, the community bank was robbed 10 minutes ago."

"Then why do you want to find me? It's just a bank robbery? I'm very busy here." Edwards wondered, but he certainly wouldn't think that Old Man Gu was old and made such a low-level mistake, so he didn't hang up the phone immediately.

Sure enough, the next sentence on the phone made Edwards' whole body tense up!

"If 700 million people are not found within 24 hours, 700 million people will die in the southeast of the Asia-12 urban area." The person across the phone said.

"7.7 billion people died? What else do you say?"

Old Man Gu organized a language: "390 kilometers southeast of the 12 urban area, there is an industrial park, which is a concentrated area for energy engineering.

There is a factory

, a set of nuclear fuel is being produced and ready to transport to another nuclear power plant at the end of the month, and now the reactor has begun to start."

"What?" Edwards asked.

"Then the reactor can't be turned off."

"What?!" Edwards was stunned: "How could this happen?"

"The main engineer suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital. Only he knew the code to shut down the reactor."

"No way, this kind of purchasing agent should be available for backup, otherwise what if this happens?"

"Yes, there are indeed backup codes, and there are 4, but all the 4 directors who know the code cannot be contacted."

Edwards frowned: "How is this possible? Four of them can't be contacted at the same time?"

"That's right, so there's definitely something wrong with this matter, but time is tight, and I don't have time to think about the specific reasons yet.

Because if this reactor continues to operate for another 24 hours, it may produce an explosion, and the energy and radiation impact range reaches more than 1,100 kilometers, covering the urban area, with a total of 700 million people there and no time to evacuate."

"But, what does this have to do with the robbery?"

"Of course it's related, because one of the directors holding the alternate code was very careful, and he was afraid that he would forget the code, so he engraved the code inside a diamond ring.

The ring has always been carried in his wife's hand. This spring, his wife died in a car accident, and the ring was stored in a community bank on 115 Street.

This is the only code that can shut down the reactor.

But unfortunately, just now, the bank was robbed, and the robber took away some of the gold bars and almost all the diamond jewelry."

Well, now Edwards finally linked the robbery with the names of 700 million people.

"But, how did the police do it? Can't catch up with the robbers? Just let them run away?" Edwards was puzzled.

"Well, the robbers obviously planned all the steps. When the police arrived at the first two intersections of the bank, they happened to be in the middle of an elementary school after school. The parents picked up their children's car and people caused a blockage. The police made a temporary decision and rushed over on foot.

But in the park opposite the bank, the robbers dug a tunnel in advance, and the police were slowing down for a few minutes. After the robbers rushed into the tunnel, they directly blew the entrance of the tunnel!"

"What?!" Benjamin was shocked: "It's exploded?"

"Yes, the police don't have shovels in their hands, so they can only wait for the construction team to come over. They haven't figured out where the tunnel leads yet."

"No need to worry, the police cannot confirm the exit." Benjamin said: "On the other side of the bank, the park in the downtown area, haha, the tunnel must lead to the underground drainage system, with all connections. As long as a car is placed in advance at a certain exit, these people will have unlimited opportunities to escape the police's pursuit. And as long as you hide in a certain place for half a month, the money will definitely not be found."

"Yes, I think so too, so now I can only ask you to do it. In 24 hours, the robbers must be found, otherwise the names of 700 million people will not be preserved."

"" Edwards was silent for a while, and finally: 'Okay, leave it to me.'

After saying that, he hung up the phone, rubbed his face, and walked into the interrogation room.

"Si~Si~"

In the interrogation room, the prisoner was still sucking the straw and saw Edwards coming in.
