Conan took a step forward and wanted to run up the stairs to the top floor to chase Kidd, but he felt that his actions were not right in front of Jiang Lai, so he paused for a few seconds.

At this moment, another question popped up in his mind: Wait, if Jiang Lai is the real Jiang Lai, then why is he here?

Jiang Lai seemed to be able to see through Conan's thoughts, and said with a smile on his face: "I'm lost, and I'm looking at the floor plan of the building stored in my phone."

Conan: "..." Really? I don't believe it.

"But if Xiaolan seems to be acting strange, could it be Kidd pretending to be her? Didn't the news say that they sent a warning letter to steal the gems?" Jiang Lai stroked his chin and continued, "No, let's go, let's go to the top floor and take a look."

Jiang Lai stepped into the stairs after he finished speaking. Conan stood there for a second, then he also trotted to catch up.

——Forget it! Conan thought with a desperate look. Anyway, he had said it, and he had already lost face. He and Jiang Lai were already like this, and the other party would not harm him at the moment, so he might as well go after Kidd first!

With this thought in mind, Conan followed Jiang Lai and ran upstairs.

The two ran all the way to the top floor smoothly, and faced Kuroba Kaito who had obtained the gem and changed back into Kid's costume. At this moment, hearing the sound behind him, he turned half of his body and looked at Jiang Lai and Conan who ran here.

"Oh, I've been discovered." Hei Yu Kaidou stopped pretending. He lowered the brim of his hat with a smile. When he saw Jiang Lai, he said playfully, "Oh? Mr. Jiang Lai, didn't you just say that we should just do our own things and avoid conflicts?"

Conan was shocked.

Did the two just meet? What agreement did they reach?

And - Jiang Lai was not lost, but was doing something!

"That was just now. Now I'm done, and you're done too, right?" Jiang Lai replied with a smile.

The two looked at each other, like they were telling a mystery.

Conan: ...Ting-meh, reject the Popcorn Riddler!

Logically speaking, the incident would not end so easily, because so far there has been neither any difficult reasoning nor any grand scenes.

So Jiang Lai, who had a feeling that something was going to happen, decided to go up and take a look. Maybe he could find a bomb or something in advance.

The soul body of Zhu Fu Jing Guang quickly turned around the top floor and came back and said, "There are no suspicious objects."

Morobushi Kagemitsu's judgment reduced the possibility of a bomb buried on the roof, but it did not rule out the possibility that there was a bomb hidden inside that could not be seen on the surface.

"Lan...where is Sister Xiaolan?" The title slipped to his lips, but Conan, who was concerned about Jiang Lai's presence, changed the title temporarily. He stared at Hei Yu Kaito and asked.

"Well... the beautiful lady is sleeping at home." Kuroba Kaito saluted like a gentleman and said with a smile.

He shook the blue gemstone Eye of the Sea in his hand, and magically it was retracted into his sleeve in the blink of an eye: "Then I will accept this gem~"

"Wait...!" Conan took a few steps forward, but his action of adjusting the dial of the anesthetic needle was interrupted by the whizzing poker cards. He had to take a step back and adjust his body shape and position again.

Jiang Lai behind him had no intention of participating in the scene. He was checking every corner of the top floor - according to the laws of science, something exciting would probably happen where the two were confronting.

For him, it doesn't matter whether he participates in the operation to capture Kidd or not, because he won't be caught anyway...

In fact, instead of using these high-tech combination locks, it would be better to just hang a bunch of fish to prevent the thief Kid from approaching the window. (Kuroba Kaito: Are you polite?)

At this moment, Kuroba, who had fought several rounds with Conan, seized the best opportunity. He jumped to the window where he remembered the password, and quickly entered a string of passwords with his white-gloved fingers. The window opened immediately -

"Well, see you next time, Detective." Kuroba Kaito had a happy smile on his face and was about to leave the scene through the open window, but the next moment, the whole building suddenly shook!

A loud "boom" came from downstairs! The accompanying vibration made the unprepared Hei Yu Kuai Dou stagger twice and almost fall down. He didn't have time to escape from the window. Five seconds passed and the window was immediately closed and the password was reset.

“?!”

What happened down there!!

Everyone present was stunned for a moment. The current situation and previous plans were completely disrupted!

Jiang Lai: ...Eight eggs arrived soon after! They were actually downstairs? ?

Kuroba Kaito tried his best to look down from the closed window. He saw black smoke rising up. It was an explosion on the lower floor. His expression was not very good: "This is really bad..."

The soul body Zhufu Jingguang who passed through the window turned back and said with a serious expression: "The explosion was very strong and caused a big fire."

The sharp sound of the fire alarm rang throughout the entire building. At this time, Jiang Lai's cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw that the caller was Suzuki Sonoko.

"Ah, Teacher Jiang Lai! Are Xiaolan and Conan with you now? I can't contact Xiaolan." In addition to Suzuki Sonoko's voice, the screams of people around could be heard from the phone, which was enough to feel the chaotic situation at the scene.

"Well, Conan is with me, don't worry. Xiaolan is Kid in disguise, the real Xiaolan is at home now." Jiang Lai steadied his voice and answered concisely.

"What? That brat...!" The angry voice of Kogoro Mouri could be faintly heard from the other side of the phone.

"No wonder I received the message that the A23 window password was reset to 79514." Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized, "It turned out that Kidd moved the window!"

Jiang Lai continued to ask: "What happened on your floor? Can we evacuate the scene?"

"According to the notification from the Security Department just now, the explosion occurred on the fifth floor... The second to sixth floors were not open this time, so there should be no casualties. There is nothing wrong on our floor for the time being, but the scene is very chaotic now... Where are you?"

As soon as Suzuki Sonoko finished speaking, the radio in the building began to broadcast the situation, saying that an explosion of unknown cause occurred on the fifth floor, and the explosion caused a fire, but please don't worry, obey the instructions of the radio and staff and evacuate safely.

People viewing the exhibition on the first floor are requested to evacuate through the main door and open emergency exits as soon as possible, and people on higher floors are requested to evacuate through the central corridor.

——There is a long corridor in the middle of the Jinmi Building that connects to the Yinmi Building opposite. It is usually not open to the public. At this moment, this corridor has become the key way for them to escape from here.

"Don't worry, you guys retreat first, we'll be down soon." Jiang Lai responded to Suzuki Sonoko on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, okay... Hey? Why are all the people stuck there?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Lai's heart tightened: Oh no! The real crisis has arrived!

"Huh? The door leading to the corridor of the Yinmi Building can't be opened?" The voice from Suzuki Sonoko was noisy and a little vague, "It seems that there is a problem with the remote control system because of the explosion..."

"What should we do?" Jiang Lai replied immediately. He asked loudly, "What do we need to do to open that door?" His tone was serious.

"Ah...? If there's a problem with the remote control system, we'll probably need to go to the control room and manually operate the door switch... because this explosion-proof door can't be opened with a normal emergency hammer."

When asked by Jiang Lai, Suzuki Sonoko told him some of the situations she knew.

The control room is located below the top floor. Because it is fully automated with high technology, there is usually no one on duty there. Only patrol officers will go there from time to time.

It's just that the accidental explosion just now caused all the patrol personnel to go to the scene to direct order and coordinate the evacuation, and it seems that no one was left in the control room.

The radio told everyone to stay calm and that staff were on their way to the control room. However, before the broadcast was finished, another explosion was heard!

This explosion was smaller than the first one, but it came from above. The raging flames blocked the way up, and the workers had to urgently use fire-fighting equipment to put out the fire.

Fortunately, the radio itself has not been greatly affected and can still report the situation and soothe the emotions of those present.

Suzuki Sonoko was still on the phone with Jiang Lai: "Oh no, oh no, what should we do? And how are you going to get down?"

The phone was on speakerphone, so Conan and Kuroba Kaito who were present could hear it.

"The road down there to the control room is blocked by fire, but we can still go here!" Conan said with a burning look in his eyes and clenched his fists.

Heiyu Kaito's expression also turned serious at this moment. Even though he had just heard what the new password was, he certainly couldn't just run away at this moment.

Hei Yu Kaidou and Jiang Lai, who was holding the phone, looked at each other and saw what the other was planning.

"Don't worry, we'll go to the control room and operate it manually." Jiang Lai exhaled and replied to Suzuki Sonoko in a deep voice, "We are on the top floor, and the road from the top floor to the control room is still open - you guys should focus on putting out the fire first."

Having said that, Jiang Lai, Conan, and Kuroba Kaito quickly ran out.

Suzuki Sonoko said on the phone: "But, if the remote control system fails, we can't open the door of the control room remotely. You don't have an authorization card, so how can you get in?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I have some skills." Jiang Lai comforted him, "Don't worry, we can get in - and maybe the door locking system has been affected by the explosion and opened by itself."

Jiang Lai comforted the other party a few more words on the phone and asked Suzuki Sonoko to inform the staff in charge of broadcasting to tell everyone outside the corridor gate that there would be a way and not to worry.

He hung up the phone and hurried to the control room according to the floor plan in his mind. Zhu Fu Jingguang was ahead to explore the route in advance.

Jiang Lai's mind was still full of thoughts.

He remembered that Suzuki Jirokichi once said that they had arranged very comprehensive security measures to welcome Kidd. It couldn't be just this extremely troublesome window, right?

Logically speaking... no matter what, there should be one or two staff members left on the control room floor and the top floor, but unexpectedly this time there was no one.

There is something wrong, Jiang Lai thought. This explosion was probably caused by a betrayal by a senior manager among the security personnel of the Suzuki family. That is why they destroyed the remote control system by coincidence, cleared out the staff, and blocked the road to the control room.

If they hadn't happened to be on the top floor...

Jiang Lai's eyes sparkled.

By the way, is Jinpei Matsuda still in the control room? What should we do next? I don't know what's going on with him... I can't get through to him by phone, because he definitely doesn't have time to read text messages right now.

And the unknown back-up plan of the person who committed suicide might also be in the control room, right...?

Jiang Lai lowered his eyes, put his hands in his pockets, and felt the outline of the Glock.

I feel like... we're going to be in a very troublesome situation soon.

Author has something to say: Jiang Lai: Eight eggs (bombs) sale site:-D

Jiang Lai: Okay, next are we going to compete in acting skills or in bayonet fighting?
