Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends

Conan glanced at his phone. He had contacted Yuya several times since last night, but there was no news except for the reply of "busy".

What was he busy with?

Conan knew without guessing that he must be investigating the bombing.

And Conan also successfully cracked the code about the bomb in the notice letter with his excellent reasoning ability and the unintentional hints of the three little devils.

On the way to the Tokyo Tower, he happened to meet Takagi Wataru's car, so he hitchhiked over and told him his reasoning results on the way.

Takagi Wataru didn't have time to think about how Conan, a child, cracked the code. He stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the Tokyo Tower at the fastest speed.

There were many tourists visiting the Tokyo Tower as usual.

After leaving Conan in the car, Takagi Wataru contacted Inspector Megure. Just as he was about to tell him that the bomb was likely installed in the elevator of the Tokyo Tower, he was told to go to the elevator control room immediately.

Conan's eyes flickered. He heard all this through the eavesdropping device that he "accidentally" put in Takagi Wataru's pocket. Inspector Megure has arrived?

Could it be that the police have cracked the code and ambushed here in advance?

In that case, Yuya must be here too? Conan looked up at the tower and entered the tower without much hesitation.

Elevator control room

Takagi Wataru walked in and saluted: "Inspector!"

Inspector Megure was looking at the surveillance screen and looked up when he heard the voice: "Are you here?"

Takagi walked to Inspector Megure and whispered: "Inspector, what happened here? Why are there so many plainclothes officers?"

When he came up, he found that many police officers were disguised as tourists and mixed in the crowd. If you want to know how he recognized them, of course it was because he saw a few familiar faces.

Inspector Megure whispered, "We have found the bomb installed in the Tokyo Tower and dismantled it. However, in order to lure out the criminal Yuya-kun, we have designed a plan and are going to follow the criminal's script to lure out the bomber."

"What?" Takagi Shigeru widened his eyes. According to the criminal's script? That means blowing up the Tokyo Tower. No, the bomb has been dismantled and will not really explode. "But isn't this too risky?"

Although Yuya often helps the police solve cases, such a large-scale operation should not involve children, right?

Inspector Megure explained, "It was the order personally issued by Manager Matsumoto. Yuya only proposed a general plan, and the specific details were formulated by the manager."

"But he insisted on joining in and acting as... the protagonist." Inspector Megure's mouth twitched slightly, and he was obviously speechless about this word.

But he also understood Yuya's feelings. Three years ago, Matsumoto Jinpei was blown to death in front of him. How much stimulation and shadow would this be for a 14-year-old child?

Besides, it's not just Miwako Sato who is upset about that case...

Takagi Wataru suddenly realized that since it was a plan made by Manager Matsumoto, there would be no problem.

"Officer Sato has always been upset about what happened that year. Remember, don't let her fall into danger." Before leaving, Shiratori Renzaburo's words still echoed in his ears.

Great, in this case, Officer Sato doesn't have to take risks. Inspector Megure didn't arrange Officer Sato to participate in this operation. It must be for this reason, right?

In the corner outside the control room, Conan, who overheard all this, widened his eyes.

What's going on? While he was still racking his brains to crack the code, Yuya had actually joined the police's large-scale operation?

Just as Conan was shocked, a broadcast started inside the Tokyo Tower, saying that the facilities inside the tower needed emergency maintenance due to a malfunction, and all passengers needed to leave immediately.

The tourists were puzzled, confused, and angry.

But after several police officers came forward to maintain order, they immediately began to leave the tower obediently.

Conan looked at the direction of the elevator with a serious look in his eyes, and said slowly in his heart: Yuya, although you didn't put me in the script, I won't just stand there and do nothing.

···

At 9:45 in the morning, there were more than two hours and 15 minutes left before noon.

Suddenly, accompanied by a loud bang, the observation deck at the top of the Tokyo Tower suddenly exploded, and a large amount of smoke gushed out.

Perhaps because the sound was too loud, the people who were still evacuating in the tower even felt a slight vibration.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

The tourists couldn't help but panic.

"Don't be afraid, please evacuate in an orderly manner under the guidance of the police, there will be no danger." The police officer who maintained order held a loud speaker and loudly comforted the crowd.Although they knew that the explosion was fake, it was just a little louder and there was more smoke, and there was no danger.

But the people didn't know that a stampede in the chaos could easily lead to tragedy.

Perhaps because they didn't feel a direct threat, the people were a little nervous, but there was no chaos, and the evacuation was faster.

Of course, it was impossible to conceal the Tokyo Tower explosion.

Soon a large number of reporters gathered under the tower, and various TV stations began to broadcast live.

"Reporters are currently broadcasting live under the Tokyo Tower," a female reporter holding a manuscript and telling the camera, "At 9:45 this morning, a small-scale explosion of unknown cause occurred in the Tokyo Tower. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but an elevator stopped in mid-air due to the impact of the explosion."

"What is certain is that a 17-year-old high school student was trapped in the elevator."

As the picture turned, the people who were paying attention to the news saw the Tokyo Tower with thick smoke.

In the crowd, a man wearing glasses and with a gloomy expression was also watching the news.

A puzzled look appeared in his eyes. It was strange. The explosive equivalent he set should not produce such a large amount of smoke?

Forget it. It was probably because he was too excited when mixing it, so there were some errors in the proportion. It didn't matter, as long as the result was the same as his plan.

The reporter's broadcast continued.

"At present, the police have arrived at the scene to eliminate the cause of the explosion and rescue the teenager."

"At present, a police officer has entered the elevator."

After hearing this, the man drew a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and pressed the button of the phone in his hand.

In the Tokyo Tower, a telephone ring suddenly came from the elevator room, and then, with a loud bang, the bomb installed by the man there exploded.

The eight steel cables connecting the elevator broke instantly, and the car fell rapidly towards the ground.

The car fell at an excessive speed, and the anti-fall device was activated quickly. In a burst of sparks, the car stopped in a very short distance.

Yuya and Takagi Wataru, who were waiting here in advance, landed silently in the car with ropes tied around their bodies with the help of several police officers.

A third bomb was installed on the top of the car.

The previous two explosions were just a means for the bomber to control the elevator, and this third bomb had the power to blow up the entire Tokyo Tower.

Of course, this bomb had been dismantled in advance, and now it was just a toy with nothing to show for it.
