Chapter 1070 1078 [Latest Monthly Ticket Extra] (between the previous chapter and this chapter)
Jiang Xia: “…” No matter what, it’s never a wrong idea to pretend to be a good person first.
...No, what do you mean by pretending? He is a good person.
Jiang Xia quickly sorted out his thoughts, suppressed his conscience, and concentrated on climbing the stairs.
The two of them rushed upstairs with their own purposes in mind.
Meanwhile, on the 75th floor, people in the banquet hall were thinking about how to escape from the fire as quickly as possible.
"Although we should avoid entering the elevator when a fire occurs, it seems that the fire is some distance away from the elevator. It is too difficult for the elderly, the weak and the disabled to run down the 75th floor on foot... Let's evacuate by elevator!"
After a moment of panic, Inspector Megure quickly calmed down.
He looked at Hidehiko Kazama, "The elevator should have a backup power supply."
Amuro Toru heard it clearly and interrupted, "The generator room has been blown up, and the backup power supply cannot be activated."
"That's right." Fengjian Yingyan sighed, but soon thought of something, "Oh, right, the observation elevator must still be usable! - It's the elevator installed on the outside of the building. It is for VIPs and specially prepared for those big shots. In order to prevent the embarrassing situation of trapping people in the elevator, it also has a separate backup power supply!"
…
The observation elevator is not far away, just on the other side of the banquet hall.
"It can carry 9 people." Miwako Sato turned around and estimated the number of guests in the hall. She felt that they might not be able to escape in time relying solely on the elevator.
She then turned to Kazama Hidehiko and asked, "What are other ways to evacuate?"
It was unknown what Hidehiko Kazama was thinking about, his mind was distracted, and he only came back to his senses when Miwako Sato patted him.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said thoughtfully, "As for other methods, you can take the safe passage from here, go down to the 60th floor, and then follow the connecting bridge connecting Building A and Building B to Building B, and then take the elevator down from there - the power supply of Buildings A and B is separate, so the elevator over there can be used!"
Inspector Megure, who was listening in, nodded and waved his hand decisively:
"Old people, children and women line up to take the observation elevator, and others go downstairs through the safety passage!"
…
In a country where earthquakes are frequent and drills are numerous, at this point, before the fire spreads, everyone is listening to instructions and no one is questioning the police's statements.
The elevator quickly rose up, the door opened, and the weakest-looking people were sent into the elevator first.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sato Miwako turned to the thoughtful Kazama Hidehiko and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? If there are any safety risks, tell us immediately! Now is not the time to hide anything."
"Ah..." Fengjian Yingyan sighed, "To be honest, I was wondering if my teacher escaped from prison and came here to plant these bombs - he hates this kind of asymmetrical buildings the most. Especially this building, which is built on the territory of 'Nishitama City' that he is obsessed with, and it is the twin buildings that are most often made into symmetrical shapes!"
Sato Miwako: "..."
Having said that, she suddenly remembered the master architect, Teiji Moriya, who was extremely obsessed with symmetry and even installed bombs symmetrically, thus saving the police half the effort in demining.
And she still remembered that when Jiang Xia was trampling on Moriya Teiji in the ruins of a building, it was she who ran over to rescue him... ahem, and brought the criminal to justice.
Officer Sato: “…” It can’t be such a coincidence.
She turned on her cell phone anxiously, and there was still signal in the building.
Miwako Sato did a quick search and found that there was no news about "Teiji Moriya's prison break" at all.
She then put her phone away and said to Fengjian Yingyan calmly, "You think too much. If escaping from prison was that easy, society would have been in chaos long ago."
But speaking of this...
Sato Miwako looked around and gradually realized the problem: "...Where did Jiang Xia go again?"
Could it be that he is stepping on a bomb and making random noises in secret again?
...How can such a thing be hidden privately? It should be handed over to the police as soon as possible!
Sato Miwako's eyes changed and she was about to take out her cell phone to dial a number.
But at this moment, a calm voice came from the side.
——Amuro Toru seemed to have heard her question and took the initiative to answer: "Jiang Xia was not on this floor just now. I have asked him to go to Building B via the communication bridge."
Officer Sato: “…”Really?
She looked at the boss of the detective agency and saw that Toru Amuro had a natural and calm expression. She thought there seemed no need to lie about such a thing, so she nodded reluctantly and believed what he said.
…
When a group of people tried to escape from the fire.
Downstairs. The fire truck arrived quickly.
A number of strong spotlights were set up, and the bright beams of light shone from bottom to top onto the dark Building A.
Shuichi Akai's top subordinate, Kamal, had changed into a security uniform without him noticing. He hid the documents in his arms, mixed in with several busy security guards, pushed open the door on the first floor, and ran out of the building.
Just as he was about to sneak away, the fire chief came up to him and asked the security guard who must be familiar with the building's conditions:
"What's going on in the building now?"
Kamal, who had sneaked into the building with Akai Shuichi last night and worked overtime to set the bomb, cleared his throat and looked calm:
"The power room and power generation room on the fourth underground floor exploded, and the machine room on the 40th floor also exploded. Due to the lack of power supply, the monitoring stopped working and failed to record the situation on the scene. However, the automatic fire extinguishing devices are equipped with independent power supplies and have been activated. Unfortunately, judging from the current fire situation, there may be things that support combustion in the fire scene, and the fire extinguishing devices are not very effective."
As he spoke, he handed over the map of the building in his hand.
The fire captain looked at this smart security guard who cooperated very well with the work and nodded with satisfaction.
He looked down for a moment, quickly made a decision, and turned to look at his team members: "Team A and Team B, go to the motor room and generator room to put out the fire! Team C, follow me into the building next door and take the communication bridge to the 40th floor!"
…
In the darkness of night, firefighters rushed into the fire scene.
The sightseeing elevator embedded in the outside of Building A has become a stable light source for the upper floors.
Several elderly people and children with short legs were arranged to take the earliest elevator.
Conan was also pushed in by Mao Lilan.
Although the high school detective, whose mental age is already 18, wanted to stay, Conan knew in his heart that if he did not listen to the instructions at this time and shouted "I'll stay to protect you!" as a first-grade student, it would only make the situation more chaotic and waste time.
He could only get on the elevator reluctantly.
The elevator went down quickly.
Inspector Megure watched them go in, then turned around, roughly counted the remaining women and children, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: they can all go in.
