The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 125 Countdown to Heaven

As the pre-calculated time arrived, bright flames burst out from the power room on the fourth underground floor, and quickly moved up along the floors, engulfing everything.

Then there was a huge roar in the computer control room on the 40th floor, and all the computers and servers were destroyed in fireworks.

The fire grew stronger, quickly turning the towering building into a high-temperature purgatory, with heat deposited on the floors below like a blazing furnace.

A hundred meters in the sky, hovering was an armed helicopter exuding a murderous aura.

Glenfiddich stuck his head out of the helicopter, looked at the hellish scene below, and sighed.

"It's more fun to blow up a big one like this."

Gin ignored him and turned to Vodka who was controlling the helicopter, "Check if there are any fish that have escaped the net, and shoot over there."

Vodka nodded, and the heavy machine gun installed on the bottom of the helicopter started up quickly, emitting a violent blue light towards the 40th floor where Gin pointed, and bullets were fired madly into the building.

Under the building, Inspector Megure and others who were on standby on the roadside just in case first saw the series of explosions with solemn expressions, and then they saw the armed helicopter strafing the building, and their brains went blank for a moment.

"Call for support immediately, this is a terrorist attack!"

He waved his hand and sent someone to contact the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters. At the same time, the quick-witted Officer Shiratori put down his phone and said, "The Self-Defense Force will arrive in about 20 minutes. We need to try to control the situation."

"Control the situation?!"

Inspector Megure was furious, pointing at the reckless armed helicopter in the sky: "Tell me how to control this situation?!"

"An Apache helicopter attack helicopter appeared in Japanese airspace without any warning. Is the Self-Defense Force just there to do nothing?"

On the helicopter.

Vodka swept the building for a while, leaving the 40th floor almost riddled with holes. No intact decoration could be seen. He turned around and asked Gin: "Brother, that elevator seems to be still working. Should we blow it up?"

He held the button to launch the rocket, eager to try it out.

Gin lit a cigarette and shook his head: "No, if everyone here dies, Japan's economy will be destroyed, which is not a good thing for the organization."

After all, they are not a real terrorist organization.

However, having an armed helicopter at our disposal does make the mission much easier and more stress-free.

Moreover, they are fully equipped. The surface of the helicopter is coated with a stealth coating developed by the organization. The Self-Defense Forces cannot find them with their existing detection methods. They just need to retreat before the Self-Defense Forces arrive.

Even if the satellite was used afterwards, no trace of them would be found.

It can solve the problem simply and roughly without exposing the existence of the organization. It is a good job no matter how you look at it.

Gin was in a good mood.

Everyone in the banquet hall felt the violent shaking just now.

"What, what's going on?"

"Why can't the lights be turned on?"

“It’s so dark…”

Conan, who had been on alert the whole time, soon realized something. He looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and saw an armed helicopter firing at the building.

"Damn it! Are these guys crazy?!"

He gritted his teeth. He never expected that the organization would be so arrogant as to carry out a terrorist attack in the city center.

Hidehiko Kazama soon got the news.

"What? There was an explosion!"

Maori Kogoro also received a call from Inspector Megure: "An unknown organization is shooting at the building with a helicopter?!"

The crowd suddenly fell into panic.

"We must arrange for everyone to escape as soon as possible!" Kogoro Mori switched his phone to speakerphone, put it in his chest pocket, and turned to look at Hidehiko Kazama, the designer of the building.

"Mr. Kazama, how is the emergency escape system here designed?"

Seeing his serious expression, Fengjian Yingyan also forced himself to calm down, "In order to deal with possible fires or earthquakes, the building materials used above the 50th floor are fire-resistant and earthquake-resistant. The fire should not be able to spread for a while."

"If the police can send a helicopter to pick us up in time, we can take shelter on the rooftop temporarily, but considering the unidentified helicopter outside, this is probably not feasible."

He thought for a moment, and suddenly added, "Oh, right, the VIP elevator we took when we got here is independently powered, and in order to prevent accidents like fire and earthquake, it is incorporated into the escape system. The entire elevator is made of high-temperature resistant materials, and the double-layer insulation structure should be able to ensure that it is not affected by the explosion floor!"

Maori Kogoro nodded and said to him in a serious tone: "Are you sure of this judgment?"

"I'm sure it's because it's impractical to use stairs to escape from such a high-rise building that we have a special design on the elevator."

However, his expression was tangled for a while. "But the only problem now is that the elevator can only carry 11 people. It takes at least two minutes to go up and down. It is difficult to support so many people."

Maori Kogoro didn't ask any more questions and shouted directly to the crowd: "Women and children line up to take the elevator first, and the rest of you follow us up the stairs to the connecting bridge on the 66th floor to take shelter in Building B. The building materials here have high fire resistance, and the fire will not spread here in a short time. Don't panic, stay calm!"

He had observed the building when he came here and knew that there was a connecting bridge between the two buildings, allowing them to communicate with each other.

To be on the safe side, he roughly calculated the floor where the connecting bridge was located.

In the eyes of these upper-class people, Kogoro Mori's professional qualities were still worthy of recognition. The panic of the crowd was quickly suppressed, and everyone escaped in an orderly manner according to the plan.

Thick black smoke rose from the building, slowly drifted towards the sky and merged into the darkness.

The situation at the twin towers quickly attracted the attention of Nishitama City. In just 4 minutes, the fire brigade arrived at the scene and began to put out the fire.

But the situation is not optimistic. Once a fire breaks out in such a high-rise building, it is very difficult to deal with, especially since one of the fire points was on the 40th floor and most of the burning objects were electrical appliances.

The ladder could not be extended to a height of nearly 100 meters. Firefighters could only enter the building with fire extinguishers and use the fire-fighting equipment installed in the building to gradually reduce the fire area.

However, this method was very inefficient. The corridors in the building were complicated and there were many flammable materials such as wallpaper and carpets, so the fire spread almost everywhere.

Once a large object such as a chandelier falls, it will block their path and reduce the efficiency of firefighting.

The area where the fire spread upwards was obviously larger than the area they put out.

Fortunately, there was no explosion in Building B, which was not open for business yet. They could reach the fire scene directly through the 40-story connecting bridge and advance from both the upper and lower directions.

At this time in the banquet hall, Kogoro Mori was arranging for the guests to escape.

Although it is a pity, they do not have the energy to deal with the murder case of Tokiwa Mio for the time being.

Soon, several female guests were arranged to get on the elevator, and several children from the Junior Detective Team were also inside.

Due to the elevator's capacity limit, the women and children in the venue had to be transported in two trips. Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko spontaneously chose to take the second trip, and Conan did the same.

Haibara Ai still looked a little pale in the elevator.

"I didn't expect them to be so rampant. I rarely remember such actions being tantamount to terrorist attacks." She whispered in Chiyomi's ear, her voice trembling.

The sound of the helicopter strafing just now almost awakened the fear in her that had not appeared in a long time.

Chiyoko heard this, looked at her bloodless lips, then turned around and saw the suppressed panic on the three little ones' faces.

Perhaps he remembered what he said not long ago: "Step by step to heaven."

He consoled her, "They probably didn't intend to cause mass casualties, otherwise they would have destroyed this elevator when they shot at the building, and Building B would probably have exploded as well."

"Although I don't know what their purpose is, everyone should be fine."

These words did not make Haibara Ai feel at ease.

He had no better excuse.

There was no way. Anyone who saw the arrogant strafing of the helicopter outside would not be able to say anything reassuring.

The elevator stopped at the 70th floor, and the door opened. Standing outside the door was a woman holding a child about half a year old.

She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect there would be so many people in the elevator.

"Sorry..." Her eyes darkened and she took a step back.

However, the three little ones looked at each other, smiled, walked out of the elevator, and pushed her in.

"Then what are you going to do?" The woman was a little confused.

"It's okay, we can just walk up the stairs to the 66th floor and take the connecting bridge to the building next door." Ayumi smiled sweetly.

Mitsuhiko and Genta also nodded.

The elevator gradually closed, and the children were left on the dark 66th floor. They suddenly felt cold and rubbed their arms at the same time.

"It's so dark." Yuan Tai whispered.

"Our watches were all put away while we were playing games..." Mitsuhiko was also a little embarrassed.

Hey.

Hey.

Two button sounds rang out in the darkness, and two watches emitted light that shone onto the faces of the three little ones, causing them to blink involuntarily.

"Really? I should have thought of this before coming down." Haibara Ai held her watch-shaped flashlight, feeling helpless.

Chiyo held up her watch and looked around.

"It looks like the 70th floor is an office."

When you walk out of the elevator, you will see a very spacious open space. Since you haven't started working yet, only blocks for each workstation are divided here, and no desks are installed.

Good news for them, at least they don't have to worry about tripping over something in the dark.

He quickly found the location of the stairwell and led a few people there.

"Let's go, we still have to go down four floors."

Yuan Tai pointed at the elevator and asked, "Can't we just wait here for the next one?"

Huihara Ai said calmly: "It's obvious that the next class will also be full."

"Anyway, let's go downstairs quickly!" Mitsuhiko said.

Chiyoko nodded, and suddenly a vague inspiration flashed through her mind, and she vaguely felt that she had forgotten something.

Unable to think of what he had forgotten, he shook his head and put the inspiration out of his mind.

......

75nd floor, banquet hall.

Soon, the second elevator came up.

Conan followed Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran into the elevator.

He was still thinking about the attack.

Although there was a big commotion this time, if you really look at the casualties, I'm afraid there aren't many.

What is the purpose of those guys in the Black Organization?

Why do they have to blow up this place and even use such a powerful weapon as the Apache attack helicopter?

He recalled the strange feeling of inconsistency in the Yuan Jiaming case.

I always feel that Mr. Yuan’s death is not that simple.

If they were really responsible for Yuan Jiaming's death, then the act of clearing the computer is very intriguing.

In addition, the 40th floor of the Twin Towers that was blown up happened to be the floor where the computer control room was located...

Is there any information that they must destroy?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a tingling sense of horror rising from the bottom of his heart. He followed his instinct and looked out the window, only to see that the helicopter had flown to the same height as them at some point and was slowly descending along with the elevator.

A bright red dot shone on Suzuki Sonoko's chest, slowly moving upwards and finally stopping between her eyebrows.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko was still unaware and was whispering with Mouri Ran.

Conan looked at her, who looked similar to Miyano Shiho, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he was enlightened.

broken! !

Without time to think, he suddenly had an idea and hurriedly pulled Suzuki Sonoko's skirt and shouted, "Sister Sonoko, you are exposed!"

Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly lowered her head to cover her skirt, looked around, and angrily knocked Conan on the head: "What are you doing, little brat?"

What she didn't know was that when she lowered her head, a bullet grazed her head and hit the elevator button, easily penetrating the alloy steel plate and destroying the lifting circuit.

The elevator slowly stopped in mid-air.

"Huh? What happened?" Mao Lilan looked up and found that the display screen showing the floor numbers in the elevator had dimmed.

"Maybe the fire burned out the circuit," Suzuki Sonoko guessed.

"I remember we were on the 59th floor."

Being trapped in the elevator was not a solution, so Mao Lilan quickly used her physical fitness to push open the opening door at the top of the elevator and flipped onto the elevator in a few seconds.

Fortunately, the elevator was stuck between two floors instead of stopping at a certain floor, otherwise they would have tried to destroy the elevator door.

Floor doors are easier to open than elevator doors.

Mao Lilan exerted force with both arms, gritted her teeth, and pried the iron door open with a sudden force.

On the helicopter, Gin put down the sniper rifle in his hand, with some doubt in his eyes.

He was enjoying the show on the helicopter when he suddenly spotted a familiar figure on the elevator. He immediately shouted, "Ah, Shirley!" and took out his gun to start hunting.

Who knew that the attack would miss and she was lucky enough to dodge it.

However, it was the fact that the shot missed that made him realize something was wrong.

Is Shirley so... startled?

"You don't mistake her for Shirley, do you?" Gryffindy's sneer soon came from the side.

Gin snorted coldly, put down the gun and said nothing more.

"'Ah, Shirley, I'd recognize you even if you were ashes', you weren't thinking that just now, were you?"

However, Glenfiddich showed no sign of stopping and continued to taunt.
