Kōyū, who was lying on the ground aiming, glanced at the helicopter circling around Tokyo Tower, then at the man trying to leave amidst the evacuation crowd, and smirked: "If I let you escape, I wouldn't be myself."
Sniping in the city is very difficult. The tall buildings are like a man-made barrier, providing excellent cover for the target. Therefore, he only has one chance to shoot.
Guangyou cannot teleport or change his position in real time based on where he is hiding. This is one of the drawbacks of humans. In the past, with the rapid development of technology, high-tech such as drones, combined with small weapons, can play a significant role in many operations, replacing human labor.
Whether based on his own memory or his understanding of that simpleton, he believed that the other party would appear near his target.
Otherwise, if it's just eavesdropping, why would you risk being discovered by coming to the vicinity of Tokyo Tower?
Watching the TV broadcast at home while sipping some fine wine, wouldn't that be wonderful?
go sightseeing?
Who would believe that if I told them?
Kōyū's location is excellent. This building is located diagonally opposite Teitan High School and Tokyo Tower. You can see the situation on both sides simply by changing your direction.
However, it's not guaranteed that you'll see him. If the simpleton deliberately goes around in circles, then Guangyou can't do anything about it.
But he was convinced that men wouldn't do that; he was a confident, even arrogant, person.
He felt that the plan was completely under his control, and no one knew that he was the culprit, so he didn't think he would be caught.
He couldn't bring himself to take a detour, nor would he stoop to doing such a thing.
...
It is now 11:50, and there are only ten minutes left until the "explosion".
Police have begun evacuating the crowd to ensure safety, but the man strolled among them, showing no panic whatsoever, instead sporting a slightly manic smile.
As his mood gradually improved, he even started humming a cheerful tune, which seemed out of place compared to the tense expressions of the crowd around him.
He was about to arrive at Teitan Junior High School soon, partly to ensure his own safety and partly to see their final decision.
The man muttered to himself as he walked, "Kids, this performance is getting more and more spectacular..."
His idea was simple: he originally wanted the police to make the decision, but then a child was added to the mix.
"Three years ago, that policeman sacrificed himself for those passersby, but what about now?"
The man's smile grew even more arrogant. "Are you going to give up your life and the life of an innocent little boy, or save those innocent passersby as you did three years ago!"
"I'm really... excited!"
As the man spoke, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Hehehe!"
...
Time passed, and less than two minutes remained before the explosion.
At Miwako's request, Chiba prepared to take the Teitan trio home, but the radio in the car broadcast a message that panicked the trio.
The reporter's voice trembled slightly as she asked, "There's only one minute left. Can the police officer who entered the elevator and the brave little boy really escape?"
Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the Teitan trio immediately changed, even Genta, who usually seemed rather unserious, looked tense.
"Inspector Chiba, what's going on?!" Mitsuhiko's reaction was the most exaggerated. "Conan and Inspector Takagi are still in Tokyo Tower!"
Chiba remained silent; he couldn't find a reason to explain it either, and could only respond to Mitsuhiko with silence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems the police officers were preparing to leave! But the officer and the little boy still haven't come out!"
These words were like a spark igniting an explosive, and Genta hurriedly shouted to Chiba, "Officer Chiba, hurry up and drive the car back!"
Compared to the boys' excitement, Ayumi was quiet and reserved. She simply leaned against the car window and looked back towards the Tokyo Tower.
The wind howled past, seemingly carrying a few glistening drops, and memories of the past surfaced, causing sadness to well up in Ayumi's heart.
"Conan, our Detective Boys wouldn't be quite the same without you..."
Ayumi whispered, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, leaving two tear streaks on her delicate cheeks.
...
"Officer Takagi, there are only a few seconds left. Are you ready?"
Conan calmed himself down, looked at the number on the timer that was about to reach zero, and let out a long sigh.
"I'm ready. As soon as you solve the problem, I can send the text message."
Takagi's expression was resolute, many images flashing through her mind, before she slowly asked, "By the way, Conan, who... exactly are you?"
"Want to know? Sure." Conan's lips curled up, and he thought of many things before saying, "I'll tell you in another world."
The number has dropped to single digits. In five seconds, the location of the second bomb will be displayed on the screen, and at the same time, this bomb will be detonated, turning the Tokyo Tower into Takagi and Conan's grave.
At this moment, Conan's eyes were fixed on the timer, and he held his phone in one hand.
The phone screen is lit up, displaying the text message editing interface. The message is already filled with text and can be sent with just one key.
Conan had already written down what had happened to him in the shortest possible terms.
"I'm sure Ran will understand once she sees it." Conan took a breath and chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I really am a failure."
"three"
"two"
"one"
Conan pursed his lips, his attention becoming even more focused: "The words on it are C..O..N..AN."
