A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 249 History is repeating itself!

"Report to Chief Meguro, all the tourists in the tower have been evacuated, except... except Officer Takagi and the child who are still trapped in the elevator."

When the policeman in charge of the evacuation mentioned Takagi, his tone couldn't help but pause, and he secretly glanced at Sato, who was obviously in a wrong mood.

"I'm going up to save Takagi!"

"stop!"

Sato, who had started to walk, stood on the spot again, bowed her head and said nothing, just like three years ago, Police Officer Megure stopped in front of her.

"Officer Sato, we don't know what's going on in the tower now, your impulsiveness will only hurt them."

Seeing Sato's lonely appearance, Police Officer Megure sighed deeply, he understood Sato's thoughts better than anyone else.

Because three years ago, when Sato wanted to go up with Matsuda Jinpei, he was the one who stopped him.

And then the bomb exploded, Matsuda Jinpei died in the line of duty, and Sato, who was out of control, wanted to go forward to save people, but he stopped him.

"jingle bell, jingle bell"

Police officer Mu Mu, who still wanted to continue to comfort him, was interrupted by the phone ringing at his waist. When he saw the caller ID on it, his expression changed and he hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Takagi, how are you doing now, can you come out?"

It was Takagi who heard the call. Under the speechless eyes of Police Officer Megure, Sato grabbed the phone and said nervously.

"Takagi, you..."

The words came to his lips but he couldn't utter them. Although Sato's face was full of worry, when it came time for her to express it, he didn't know how to express it.

"Ah, Officer Sato, we're fine, now Conan and I are going to open the top of the elevator to see what's going on above."

The dull Takagi didn't feel anything, but was a little surprised by Officer Sato's sudden opening.

He and Conan just discovered that there is a living steel plate on the top of the elevator, and the lock on it seems to be broken because of the explosion.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to push the steel plate away, and they were about to go up to see if there was any way to escape.

Conan had already been lifted to the top by Takagi, stretched out his hands to grab the edge of the steel plate, and climbed up easily, but when he saw what was fixed on the top of the elevator in front of him, his pupils constricted and his expression tensed.

"Officer Takagi, don't let Officer Megure and the others send someone to rescue us."

When he heard that Takagi in the elevator was about to be rescued by someone, Conan hurriedly stopped him.

"what happened?"

Takagi was a little confused, so Officer Megure and the others on the other end of the phone also heard Conan's call, and asked why.

"The gangsters tied a bomb to the top of this elevator, and the timer on it is connected to the mercury column. Once the balance is broken, it may explode immediately."

Police officers Megure and Sato under the iron tower looked ugly. The current situation is so similar to the three years.

The bombs back then also used mercury mercury. After Matsuda Jinpei found out, he immediately kept everyone away from the Ferris wheel and let him dismantle the bombs himself.

In contrast, the situation on the tower is even more dangerous now than it was three years ago, because the two people above don't know how to dismantle bombs at all.

"Officer Mumu, please send us a set of bomb disposal tools. The only way now is to dismantle it by ourselves."

Without giving the people below any time to think, Conan expressed his request, and the timer on the bomb had already started, and if they were not dismantled in time, they would also be killed.

Police officer Megure did not make a decision without authorization, but asked Matsumoto Qingchang for instructions immediately, and he could not make this request without authorization.

Hearing Meguro's narration, Matsumoto Kiyosaga immediately made a decision, agreed to the request, and quickly dispatched a helicopter to drop them a set of bomb disposal tools from the sky, as well as the corresponding blueprint analysis, and dispatched bomb disposal experts to assist remotely.

However, what they didn't know was that the gangster saw all this and listened to it in his heart. He installed a small bug on the back of the bomb in order to come in handy at such times.

In the elevator, Takagi told Conan not to worry, but to take his time while relaying the steps that the bomb disposal expert said.

As everyone knows, Conan's bomb defuse method is far faster than what he said. He has learned this bomb defuse skill systematically in the United States, and it is not difficult for him.

Just as he was about to cut the last thread and was about to successfully prevent the bomb from exploding, a sentence suddenly appeared on the timer, which forced Conan to stop what he was doing and his face was gloomy.

Think for a moment...

"Officer Takagi, if you could save more innocent people by sacrificing yourself, what would you do?"

Takagi, who was relaying the story, was stunned when he heard what Conan said. He raised his head and looked at Conan with puzzled eyes, and asked in doubt.

"Conan, what do you mean by that?"

"This bomb is a decoy, and now we have the same choice as Officer Matsuda three years ago."

Takagi, who had heard Shiratori Rensaburo's story, instantly understood what Conan said. This gangster used exactly the same strategy as three years ago.

……

"What, there is obviously only the last thread left, why can't you cut it off?"

The bomb disposal expert was furious, not knowing what the two people on the tower were doing, success was clearly within reach.

Sato, who had been watching from the side, grabbed the phone and yelled loudly.

"Takagi, what are you hesitating about?"

As soon as the words fell, Takagi's deep voice came from the phone, chanting as if in a daze.

"This police officer is really brave. I really have to admire your courage. After this game, there will be a big firework show. Three seconds before the explosion, you will see my Prompt, I wish you success in advance.”

"That's what Conan saw on the bomb."

When Sato heard the first sentence, his face darkened. The familiar opening sentence was a pain mark that lingered deep in her memory.

Three years ago, Matsuda Jinpei also read a passage exactly like this, for which he dedicated his life.

"Takagi, don't do anything stupid, don't..."

"Officer Sato, if it were you, I believe you would make the same choice as me, sorry."

Hearing what Takagi said, Sato's eyes had already shed painful tears.

Why, everyone close to her will encounter misfortune, and it's something she can't prevent.

……

All the tourists gathered around the Dongdu Iron Tower were evacuated in an orderly manner by the police, and a cordon was pulled up at the same time to prevent anyone from approaching.

The man in the windbreaker drove away quietly when the police ordered him to retreat. He had already analyzed the decision made by the police officer Takagi at the top of the tower from the behavior of the police.

"What an admirable cop!"

Although he was praising him, the disdain and sneer on his face had already revealed his true thoughts.

At this time, Haibara and the others were also evacuating, and Police Officer Chiba was asked by Sato to drive them away.

"What about Conan, hasn't he come down yet?"

"Did something happen? Why did the police take such a big action all of a sudden?"

Police Officer Chiba was unable to answer their questions directly. Officer Megure clearly requested that this matter not be announced to the public for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to reply vaguely.

It's a pity that although his words can deceive Yuantai and the others, they can't deceive Huiyuan. She has a vague premonition in her heart that this evacuation must be related to Conan.
