Conan’s Corpse Picker

Akai Shuichi sighed inwardly and prepared to go downstairs to see the situation.

But at this time, along the corridor, he suddenly heard light but chaotic footsteps.

Akai Shu stepped on his feet, and after a moment, he silently slipped into the side road, hiding himself skillfully and gathering his breath.

…

Not long after, several people ran from one side of the corridor with flashlights on and rushed to the other side.

Akai Shuichi secretly observed the group of warriors stranded in the building, and then was slightly startled.

——Those were actually a few children who were no taller than an adult’s legs.

Akai Shuichi: "..." How could there be children running around in such a dangerous place?

Speaking of which, I always felt that there was a child inside who looked very familiar - yes, it was the little boy with glasses, as if he had seen it a long time ago.

After hesitating for a moment, Akai Shuichi silently followed the young detective team after they passed by.

A group of children running around in a newly opened building can easily get lost.

Anyway, it's not far from the communication bridge. It's better to send them across the bridge first, and then go back downstairs to see what's going on at the elevator.

…

With this in mind, Akai Shuichi secretly followed the young detective team, preparing to correct the children in time when they went the wrong way.

However, the group of children, especially the leading little boy, seemed to have the map of the building engraved in their minds. They didn't stray at all, and in the darkness, they successfully arrived at the communication bridge with their companions.

As the children stepped onto the communication bridge on the 60th floor, Shuichi Akai pushed up his glasses silently and prepared to leave.

But soon, his expression changed and he looked down at his phone.

The software he secretly installed showed that someone had disarmed the bomb.

——The bridge is about to be detonated!

…

On the rooftop opposite, Vodka held up his binoculars and looked at the Twin Buildings A.

——This is to monitor Uzo’s crossing situation at the communication bridge on the 45th floor in real time. In addition, it can also prevent Shirley from fishing in troubled waters and following the chaos to cross the bridge.

Originally, the latter was just a precaution.

However, after looking at it like this, Vodka really discovered something unusual: "Brother, someone is crossing the communication bridge on the 60th floor!"

Gin's eyes sharpened: "The 60th floor?"

The bridge on the 60th floor is closer to the banquet hall on the 75th floor.

If Shirley was so frightened by Uzo when she came to the banquet that she shrank back and hid in the building, she might indeed be closer to the communication bridge over there.

Thinking this, Gin raised the muzzle of the gun and looked through the scope.

However, among the people crossing the bridge, there was no sign of Shirley, only a few children who were no longer than an adult's legs.

Ginjiu snorted coldly and suddenly lost interest:

"Don't worry about it. Even if Shirley tried to disguise herself, she wouldn't be able to pretend to be a child."

After confirming that only children were crossing the bridge, he moved the gun again and glanced downstairs.

Seeing that Jiang Xia had already run across the bridge with the group of women, Ginjiu moved his eyes towards the burning building A, as if through the building, he saw Shirley hiding in an unknown corner.

He sneered: "She was smart, and she didn't even try to cross the bridge. Unfortunately, this only allowed her to survive for a short while - I don't know if she would regret not being braver when she was burned to char. Get in front of us and be taken away by bullets or bombs."

As he spoke, Gin pressed the detonator in his hand with a touch of joy as if he were executing a traitor.

"boom--"

…

The connecting bridge on the 60th floor of the Twin Towers.

On the side near Building A, the outside of the bridge exploded violently, and the entire bridge collapsed and fell.

Akai Shuichi dodged into the corridor, dodging the shock wave and bullet-like flying stones.

He held the phone steadily, feeling a little surprised - just to be on the safe side, he had actually installed some delay equipment on the bomb, which could even prevent it from detonating if necessary.

Just now I discovered that as soon as the children got on the bridge, the bomb's safety device was immediately released by the organization, and Akai Shuichi moved his hand to the delay device.

However, what I didn't expect was that the bomb didn't detonate suddenly until the children completely ran across the bridge.

Akai Shuichi: "..." The timing was so coincidental, it seemed like the person in charge of controlling the bomb deliberately waited for those children to pass by before detonating the bomb.

In addition, the two connecting bridges are one high and one low. Once the 60-story bridge explodes, it will fall rapidly and collapse the 45-story bridge in an instant. The two bridges are actually linked... Maybe it's not the problem of the group of children, but just now, was there someone who couldn't die on the bridge downstairs, and happened to pass there after the children?

Of course, the most likely thing is that the organization happened to find the target they wanted to assassinate on the communication bridge on the 45th floor... When we go out later, we have to ask Kamel about the casualties.

…

"Okiya Subaru" thought to himself while preparing to retreat.

However, before leaving, he took one last look across the bridge and suddenly froze.

The smoke from the explosion was quickly blown away by the night wind.

Through the gap full of stubble, you can see that several children have successfully reached Building B. They were blown away by the air wave and rolled all over their bodies. Then they seemed to have fainted somewhere, and now they were lying on the ground one by one with mosquito-repellent incense in front of their eyes.

And next to the children, at some point, a dark figure appeared.

The man was wearing a black suit and even his tie was black. He wore a pair of light-colored sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and had a slightly fluffy natural curly hair. With his pale skin and white shirt, he seemed to be in only two colors: black and white. He looked as if he was attending a funeral. .

But that man's temperament was extremely inconsistent with his dress - the word "low-key" seemed to have nothing to do with him. Akai Shuichi frowned and looked over there, just in time to see the man in black raise his head and look accurately at the place where he was hiding, then slowly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that looked very polite at first glance, but in fact was very polite. A somewhat malicious sneer.

All the characteristics were so obvious that the moment the figure came into view, a codename immediately popped up in Shuichi Akai's mind.

——Uzo.

The man in black on the other side of the bridge completely matched Subaru Okiya's previous description. He just stood there quietly, as if his whole body exuded an aura of danger.

The two looked at each other across the gap between the buildings.

A moment later, Akai Shuichi saw that Uzuo suddenly leaned down, picked up a little girl from the ground, and carried it casually in his hand.

…

When Jiang Xia "escaped from the fire" just now, he was vaguely aware of Akai Shuichi's location.

Then he was surprised to find that this person was right next to Hui Yuan Ai.

——Although Haiyuan Ai couldn't locate it with murderous aura, she was carrying a foggy dog ​​on her body at the moment. For Jiang Xia, the position was also easy to distinguish.
