At this moment in the elevator, Chu Ming was quietly sticking a loudspeaker sticker next to the monitoring device under the puzzled gaze of Amuro Toru.

Seeing Amuro Toru's surprised face, Chu Ming gestured and asked him to chat with him casually.

Then, as if taking out a treasure bag, he took out a palm-sized monitor from his side and installed it on the elevator shaft next to him.

Although Toru Amuro and Chu Ming did not have much tacit understanding, he also knew that with the presence of monitoring devices, what Chu Ming was doing could not be known to the criminals, so he could only find ways to talk about it.

"Are you afraid?"

Chu Ming was busy with his hands while answering casually, "Of course I am afraid. I am only a freshman, not yet an adult. How can I not be afraid of death? But there is a Chinese saying that I think is very true: Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather. I died in such a glorious way, can I barely be considered a hero?"

In the narrow and dim elevator, because no one could see his expression clearly, Amuro Toru's face slowly showed sadness: "Hero——"

I don’t know if people like Hagiwara and Matsuda can be called heroes.

I wonder how proud those two bastards would be if they knew they were called heroes.

"I see Mr. Amuro often works part-time here and there. He must be having difficulties in life, right?" Chu Ming said, "You could have evacuated safely with everyone else, why did you come in to accompany me? One more person died in vain. Do you think life is too hard and meaningless?"

"..." Toru Amuro's sadness was instantly broken by Chu Ming. Do you know how to chat? What the hell is this!

Chu Ming tugged at the rope that the police had tied when they lowered the backpack, and found it was quite strong. He then handed a miniature microphone to Amuro Toru, signaling him to use it to speak.

Toru Amuro looked at the series of preparations made by Chu Ming. The combination of the miniature microphone and the sound-amplifying stickers could prevent the bomber who was eavesdropping from noticing that the two were escaping. Similarly, the installed surveillance cameras could clearly see what the prompts given three seconds before the bomb exploded were.

In addition, because the bomb was about to explode, no one was staying near the Tokyo Tower at this time. Chu Ming and Amuro Toru's skills were enough for them to escape easily without leaving any trace, so no one would know that the hero they called who was not afraid of life and death had already climbed out of the elevator shaft nimbly along the rope and was hiding on the bottom floor of the Tokyo Tower, waiting for the bomb to explode peacefully.

Time passed by minute by minute, the people outside were getting anxious, while the two people inside were chatting idly into the microphone while staring at the palm-sized surveillance screen in their hands and waiting patiently.

With ten seconds left, in order to repay Conan for his contribution to his emotions, Chu Ming maliciously called him again: "Conan, remember to turn on the speaker. Okay, here comes the prompt. It's the English letters E, V, I, T, C, E, T, E, D——"

"boom--"

The moment the explosion sounded, Chu Ming hung up the phone, feeling his emotion level soaring. The ground beneath his feet was shaking, and the power of the bomb was too strong. The entire upper part of the Tokyo Tower was blown apart. Fortunately, the elevator was stuck relatively high at the time, and the bottom of the tower was relatively safe. Apart from some falling rocks from time to time, there was no danger.

Chu Ming stuffed the microphone and surveillance screen back into his pocket. "The police will probably come in to search us later, but there will definitely be reporters from the TV station reporting on us. If they report that we are not dead, the criminals might get angry and detonate another bomb prematurely. So we should not meet them and sneak away from behind. It's a good opportunity that they haven't reacted yet."

Toru Amuro glanced at Chu Ming's pockets. He was very curious about where such strange equipment came from for a freshman. Not to mention the sound amplification stickers, just the palm-sized surveillance device did not seem like something an ordinary person could take out.

Aren’t all the surveillance cameras currently on the market large and bulky?

Even within the public security system, there is no such convenient and compact surveillance.

Toru Amuro felt that Chu Ming's identity was now shrouded in a mystery. He couldn't ask just now because he was being monitored, but now that he could ask, he couldn't help but start asking questions.

"Mr. Chu Ming's props look very interesting. Did you find someone to customize them?"

Chu Ming was not shy about it. He took out a monitoring screen from his pocket and said, "What are you talking about? This is a new defective product made by my company. Originally, the R&D personnel wanted to make a battery-powered device for remote monitoring, but the current battery technology can only supply power for half an hour, and it can only monitor in real time, and there is no way to store the images. The one next to me is a defective product that they are going to eliminate and destroy, but I personally think that even the worst products have their uses, so I put it aside. Look, it's being used now."

After listening to Chu Ming talk about the drawbacks of this inferior product, Toru Amuro also realized that what he thought was a divine weapon seemed to be quite useless in reality.

However, because of this, he discovered that Chu Ming's brain was indeed very quick. It just so happened that the explosion occurred in this hidden and invisible elevator room. The criminals could only rely on eavesdropping to determine whether people were still there. They could not monitor the situation here in real time, which allowed people to find an opportunity to exploit the loophole.

"Your company?" Toru Amuro was a little confused. The information he got did not mention that Chu Ming had a company... This must be a breakthrough point!

"Yes, it's my company. My elders gave it to me." Chu Ming unceremoniously treated the company that Karasuma Renya temporarily let him manage as his own. Anyway, he was getting all the profits from the company, so how could it not be his? "Although it's not under my name, it's mine after rounding it off."

"..." The corners of Toru Amuro's mouth twitched. He asked why he couldn't find any information. Do your elders know that you are so shameless?

"I already know where the second bomb is." Chu Ming didn't want to be tricked by Amuro Toru, so he changed the subject. "Those English letters just now are "detective" in reverse, which means detective. He reversed the English letters, which means to read "detective" in reverse, which is - Teitan."

"There are schools named after Teitan, ranging from kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools to universities. However, Xiaolan said a few days ago that today is the day of their school's national mock exam. In addition, Xiaolan is usually very lucky and would never be absent when encountering such a bad thing. I think the criminal must have placed a bomb in Teitan High School."

After listening to the previous reasoning, Toru Amuro felt as if he had suddenly realized something, but when he heard the particularly idealistic reasoning at the end, he couldn't help but have a lot of question marks in his mind.

What does such a big thing have to do with a person’s physique?

Are you just making this all up?
