Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Bai Quanyi suddenly had an idea and a ray of hope appeared in his head.

"Excuse me, sir. I need to go to the bathroom. Can you please let me go?"

Bai Matan raised his hand and said to Origi.

"No, be patient."

Origi flatly refused.

Hearing his words, Bai Ma Tan opened his arms exaggeratedly and shouted: "How can this be? I can't bear it anymore. Can I pee here?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Wait a moment!"

The one who raised his hand this time was Bai Quanyi.

"I want to go too, but my stomach isn't feeling well. I want to go to the big one."

"I want to go to the bathroom, too."

When Lianzi heard Baiquanyi's voice, she shuddered and joined in the pleading.

"Sorry, I want to go too."

Even Xiao Qian seemed restless.

"You don't want the girls to do it here too?"

Bai Quanyi asked Origi. At this moment, Origi's face showed an expression of being at a loss.

He first silently exchanged glances between Lianzi and Xiaoqian, then said, "Okay, I'll call my companions. Wait for me!"

He held the gun in one hand and untied the radio hanging on his waist with the other.

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Quanyi said as he tried to get up.

"Hey! Don't stand up!"

Origi quickly pointed the gun at Bai Quanyi, but Bai Quanyi was not afraid at all.

"Look, if you're trying to radio someone over and have one person monitor us while the other takes us to the bathroom in shifts, that's not going to work."

"why?"

"Think about it. If four of us all want to go to the bathroom, others might want to go too. If we wait for your companions to come here, and then go to the bathroom one by one, it will take a lot of time. The person who goes last will definitely be unable to bear it and might even urinate."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Origi pointed the gun at Baiquanyi and asked.

Bai Quanyi smiled calmly and replied, "There should be a guest room on this floor. There's a toilet in the guest room. Then we can go to the bathroom freely. All you have to do is take us there. How's that? Isn't that a good idea?"

Origi thought for a moment before saying, "I need to ask Red. Wait a moment."

After saying this, Origi took down the radio.

"Wait a minute, since you want to contact him, can I ask you a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"You've been pointing a gun at us like this, making us feel as if we could die at any moment. That sense of threat is driving us crazy. My suggestion is that when we get to the guest room, you stay outside and keep watch. That way, everyone will feel more at ease..."

Baiquan Yi boldly put forward suggestions.

"What are your intentions?"

Seeing Origi frown, Bai Quanyi waved his hands in panic: "No, no! We're really scared to be suddenly locked up in a place like this... Look at everyone's expressions, there's no telling how much longer we can hold out. Besides, you'll get tired too. Are you going to keep a gun pointed at us for 24 hours?"

"That's right! Baiquanyi is right."

Takumi Fujishima echoed and stood up unconsciously.

"Mr. Origi, I've actually been wanting to go to the bathroom since a while ago, but I've been holding it in. I was afraid that if I told you, you'd get mad and shoot me, and that would be terrible for me!

The truth is, if you keep pointing a gun at us, you'll get bored, and your finger will want to pull the trigger. It's human nature: when you're on a high place, you want to jump down; when you're playing with a knife, you want to cut it. I hope we can relax a little before the situation gets to that point."

"Shut up! Red will decide everything, so shut up!"

Origi shouted, pointed the gun at Fujishima, and at the same time, anxiously pressed the radio.

Commander Red decided to accept Baiquanyi's request.

First, the men were taken to the corridor one by one for physical examinations, and only the mobile phones of the two Lan Ze brothers in their jacket pockets were taken away.

However, when it came time to search Reiko and the other four women, a problem arose.

Xiao Qian, who was searched first, did not want to be touched by the man and resolutely refused to be searched. No matter how the man threatened her, Xiao Qian refused to comply, and the situation became very tense.

As a last resort, Red gave Origi another instruction.

"Call Park Bo over. The work she was responsible for should have come to an end."

Origi immediately contacted via radio, and soon a girl in khaki combat uniform came over.

"what?"

When he saw the girl's face, Bai Quanyi suddenly remembered that he had seen this girl at the beach this afternoon.

"Red, the control room is completely under control."

"Thank you for your hard work, Park Bo. Please come over and help check these women."

"Ok."

Park Bo answered respectfully and followed Red's instructions skillfully.

After checking the four women, the hostages were divided into three groups and sent to adjacent guest rooms.

Shiraizumi Masu, Hakuba Tan, Mitsui Fumiya and Suho Takeshi were locked in the room on the far left opposite. In the middle room were Aizawa Shuichiro, Aizawa Yu, Aizawa Tsuyoshi and Fujishima Takumi. The remaining four women were in the room on the far right.

The door locks of these three rooms have been damaged by the terrorists, and once the doors are closed, they cannot lock them from the inside.

The hostage room was located on the northeast side of the seventh floor, facing the jungle. There was no balcony, and the central window was a large, sealed pane of glass, with only the narrow sections on either side opening.

"There is no escape route from this room. Don't even think about escaping through the window or contacting the outside world."

Reid said this in a cold tone, then walked outside with full confidence.

"He's right. Your name is... Baiquan Yi, right? You're so naive."

Mitsui Fumiya said this and sat down on the neatly made bed.

"Mitsui, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Fangwu asked Mitsui curiously. There was a sofa in front of him, but he didn't sit down. Instead, he looked at Mitsui with his thin eyebrows knitted together.

"What do you mean by that? Suho, you really don't understand? This Mr. Shiraizumi Masaru is looking for an opportunity to escape, so he keeps clamoring to go to the bathroom. Am I right?"

Mitsui sighed and rubbed his tanned face repeatedly with his hands, as if trying to relieve his fatigue.

"Yes."

Bai Quanyi answered truthfully.

"If we weren't locked in a room with no windows, but a room with a balcony, we could use the escape ladder to get down to the next floor, right, Mitsui?"

There was a hint of challenge in Zhou Fang's tone of voice, perhaps it was due to the competitive mentality between two people who were both Xiao Qian's fiancés!

Bai Ma Tan was walking around the room, looking for something useful. Bai Quanyi felt that Bai Ma Tan, like himself, was radiating a strong will to escape.

Bai Quanyi looked around and found that there were no cameras in the guest room, so he could take action now.

"The terrorists have calmed down a lot. It's time to start the action, Hakuba Detective."

He patted Bai Matan's shoulder gently.

"action?"

Zhou Fang asked back, bewildered. Previously, he had been sitting blankly on the sofa by the window, staring out into the darkness, his mind preoccupied with many things.

Zhou Fang tried to keep his voice down so the watchers outside wouldn't hear him, but his expression was quite agitated: "Baiquan Yi, what do you want to do? The phone isn't working, and we can't escape through the window..."

"Really? If we move around and provoke those terrorists..."

Mitsui also shuddered and fell silent.

"It's no problem!" Hakuba said confidently. "Hakuizumi Masu is the most formidable detective in the Metropolitan Police Department. He looks so young, you wouldn't have guessed that."

Bai Quanyi led the other three into the bathroom and proudly pointed at the vent in the ceiling, saying, "Please look carefully at the vent. We might be able to escape!"

253. Escape

"I see!" Zhou Fang clapped his hands excitedly. "As long as we remove the exhaust fan, we might be able to escape through the vent to the exhaust pipe. Generally speaking, when construction companies build buildings, they usually make the exhaust pipes large enough for humans to pass through to make it easier for workers to enter and inspect the interior of the walls. So if everything goes well, we can escape through here..."

"Just like in foreign movies, there are often scenes of escaping through the exhaust pipe of a building. So I think this method may be feasible," said Bai Quanyi.

"But how do we remove the exhaust fan? We don't have any tools!"

"No problem, leave it to me."

After saying that, he stood on the bathtub, stretched his hands straight towards the ceiling, and then jumped.

Bai Quanyi grabbed the exhaust fan's metal cover, hanging in mid-air. Then, he pulled himself up, raised his feet, and clung to the vent like a spider.

The three people watched intently as Bai Quanyi completed all the movements with agility.

Bai Quanyi pulled hard, and with a loud bang, the resin panel on the ceiling cracked instantly. Bai Matan flipped over and landed safely. The other three were stunned, just like James Bond in the movie.

Everyone looked up and saw that the exhaust fan cover, which was originally firmly fixed on the resin board, was now hanging from the ceiling.

"Then we just need to remove the fan blades."

"Shiraizumi Masaru, are you Japan's 007?"

Mitsui excitedly grabbed Shiraizumi's shoulders and said.

Bai Quanyi said calmly: "I am better than 007."

Mitsui said, "Thanks to you, we can finally escape from here. Now it depends on whether we can successfully rescue our companions next door."

"Hakuizumi Masaru, wait a minute, let's make some tools first!" Suho turned back to the room and began to remove the sheets. "There are women among us, and Chairman Shuichiro has a weak heart. Tie the sheets together and we can use them as a rope ladder."

Shiraizumi Masu: "Shou, you have a really good brain."

"I can't always let you take the spotlight, right? Mitsui."

Mitsui seemed embarrassed to be standing there, so he scratched his head and said, "You're so quick-witted, it seems like I'm the most useless. But let me be clear, the real fun is just about to begin. Even if we can successfully escape this room, it doesn't mean we can completely escape the terrorists."

"Mitsui, what do you want to say?"

Suo Fang asked him.

"I'm starting to think this incident is a test from God for Xiao Qian's three fiancés."

Mitsui looked at Suo Fang seriously.

"test?"

"Yes. Now we have to rescue Xiaoqian from the terrorists and escape from the hotel. Don't you think that in the process, we can use this opportunity to test who is the most suitable husband for Xiaoqian?"

"I understand. I'm willing to accept this test. I've noticed that you're starting to think about Xiao Qian as seriously as I am. I absolutely won't lose. No, no matter what happens, I'll risk my life to protect Xiao Qian. I swear."

Suo Fang said confidently.

"The fan blades have been removed, so you can go out now."

At this time, Bai Ma Tan jumped down quietly from the ceiling.

Bai Quanyi said: "Let's take action."

Bai Ma nodded: "Yeah. Let's go."

Bai Ma walked in front, and the four of them entered the exhaust pipe one after another.

“What a terrible smell…”

The person crawling behind said with disgust.

Indeed, the exhaust pipe was filled with a strange stench, a mixture of the greasy smell from the kitchen and the smell from the guest room, plus the metallic smell of the pipe itself, which was really disgusting. However, this was a newly built hotel, so the smell should be relatively good.

The size of the pipe was just enough for them to crawl forward inside using their elbows to support themselves. Not long after, the exhaust pipe met the main pipe which was about three times larger.

"So that's how it is. The air drawn from the rooms is collected in the main pipe and then exhausted outside the hotel from somewhere."
