Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
Yamada Gongkei guessed that they couldn't make a choice, which was undoubtedly the most torturous thing for a police officer. And most importantly, Saito Masami was also the object of Fujiwara Yu's affection, so he wanted to know the answer, he wanted to know why the two people in front of him would make such a choice.
He firmly believed that human nature is selfish, so between two equal lives, they will choose the one they care about more to survive... People should be selfish, and only by being selfish can they become strong.
Yamada Kimikei didn't want to give them too much time to struggle and think. He untied the chains wrapped around Saito Masami, but did not touch the restraints on her hands and feet. Naturally, he was worried that she would run away.
While he was making the suggested mechanism with the untied chain, he kindly reminded:
"Stand still, don't move. The remote control in my hand can control the bombs on the rooftop. If you move rashly, they'll all be killed... including you two."
Fujiwara Yu's hand that was reaching for the pistol at his waist paused slightly. He didn't dare to gamble with other people's lives. Even if the madman in front of him was telling lies, he had no way of telling... It was difficult to see through a madman's thoughts.
"Instead of worrying about how to kill me, you might as well think about your options. The speed of the water does not wait for anyone." After dealing with the device at hand, Yamada Gongkei looked at the two of them and smiled, holding the iron chain.
Fujiwara Yu frowned and looked at the water level in the transparent glass box, which had reached Komatsu Shoya's knees. It would rise to his waist soon. There was no time for them to hesitate.
"I choose..."
"Fujiwara, are you crazy?!"
Jinpei Matsuda quickly grabbed Fujiwara Yu's arm and scolded him coldly.
Fujiwara Yuu ignored Matsuda Jinpei's attempts to stop him and stared straight at Miyano Akemi. After seeing her faint smile, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke out his choice with difficulty:
"...I choose to save Komatsu Shouya."
