The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Chapter 719 Teacher and Disciple

"There was an explosion?!"

Hidehiko Kazama, who picked up the phone, heard the news on the other end of the phone and his face changed drastically.

"There was an explosion in the motor room on the fourth floor underground, the office area on the 1st to 4th floors, and the server and computer room on the 40th floor. The 40th floor of Building A is now burning due to the violent explosion. The surveillance video on the scene can no longer be seen."

On the other end of Megure Jusan's phone, Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Renzaburo in the control room gave a more detailed answer.

The two looked at the screen that kept sounding the alarm, while evacuating the staff in the room, and answered seriously.

"What?! The main data of the group is stored there. In this way, in this way..." Mio Tokiwa, whose mood had just eased a little, could not be completely eased this time.

"Now is not the time to care about data or not." Megure Jusan frowned and pulled Hidehiko Kazama, whose mood was also fluctuating wildly, "Mr. Kazama, you are the chief designer of the building. Do you have any plan for the fire evacuation of the building?"

At this point, Megure Jusan glanced at Mio Tokiwa with a somewhat subtle look.

There are strict laws in Tokyo that restrict super high-rise buildings. They are afraid of this kind of situation. At a height of nearly 80 floors, even the best firefighting technology can hardly provide safety guarantees.

If there is no accident, the towering high-rise building is naturally full of visual shock. However, once an accident occurs, such as now, it becomes a cage hundreds of meters above the ground. No matter what kind of fire ladder is used, it cannot directly complete the rescue. It is even extremely difficult to put out the fire on the 40th floor...

Considering that the existence of this building is the result of the owner of the building, Tokiwa Mio, who spared no effort and even had to use gray means to force it, it is hard not to feel ironic.

"I have confirmed that not only the power lines have been damaged, but also the underground generators and even the backup power supply are unusable." Fengjian Yingyan looked solemnly at the venue where only the emergency exit indicator light was still on, "Maybe we can only take the escape ladder..."

He understood the subtext of Megure Jusan very well.

There are many elderly people and children in the venue. It is self-evidently difficult to reach the ground from a position as high as 75 floors.

"Oh, there is another way!" Fengjian Yingyan looked towards the floor-to-ceiling glass, "The observation elevator! It is a special passage designed for VIPs. It has its own independent power supply and will not be damaged by circuit damage."

"In a building with a fire on the 40th floor, take the elevator downstairs..." This time, even Maori Kogoro couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"The observation elevator has been specially equipped with fire and explosion prevention. As long as the fire does not spread, it can support for a period of time..." Fengjian Yingyan finally found a little rhythm and spoke confidently, "First, let those who are not convenient to move take the elevator directly to a safe location, and the rest of the people go down the escape passage to the communication bridge on the 66th floor, and then go to Building B, and you can reach the ground safely!"

He pressed the elevator button and stood in front of the door waiting anxiously.

Two minutes later, in the expectant eyes of everyone, the elevator slowly opened in the darkness, and light spilled out of the elevator car.

"Ah, it can still move!"

"Great, in this case..."

"What is the maximum number of people in the elevator?" Seeing the elevator open, Megure Jusan breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed with Fengjian Yingyan again.

"9-10 people. The building is too high, and the observation elevator cannot be strengthened like the freight elevator, so it can only carry about 1 ton." Fengjian Yingyan gave the answer.

Several people turned their eyes to him, and then silently turned to Tokiwa Mio, and the subtext in their eyes was self-evident.

——Why do you have to build it so high when you have nothing to do?

"Inspector, it is unrealistic to carry everyone by elevator. The 40th floor has been completely on fire. Although the fire doors have been successfully lowered, the circuit of the entire building has been cut off, and the automatic sprinkler and other equipment cannot be effective. It is only a matter of time before the elevator cannot work." Shiratori Renzaburo on the other end of the phone responded quickly, "We will rush to the 66th floor as soon as possible to assist the evacuation of personnel."

"Well, let all the elderly, children and women take the elevator down, and everyone else, take the escape ladder to evacuate!" Megure Jusan made a decision quickly!

"It's very lively, down there..." Feeling the vibration coming from the building that was falling into darkness under his feet, Xingchuan Hui exhaled and reached out to grab the railing of the rooftop, "Are we ready to start?"

As a super-high-rise luxury skyscraper, the Twin Towers are naturally equipped with a helicopter landing platform. The venue on the 75th floor is only a dozen meters away from them, and they can even vaguely hear the noisy movement below.

"Wait a moment." Miyano Akemi lowered her eyes, and the butterfly-like black lace mask on her face reflected the faint moonlight, making her slightly cold words have a hint of mystery, "Tokiwa Mio still has hope for this place. We have to make it collapse completely before we have a chance to take away her secret treasure."

"So, have you determined the location of her secret treasure?" Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been in and out of many halls of the building all night and was exhausted, frowned, "The navigation reacted very violently, but we almost ran through the entire building."

This opening ceremony of the Twin Towers skyscraper was a great harvest for the Phantom Thieves.

In addition to the long-cherished target Ruzuki Fengsui, there were many politicians and wealthy businessmen closely related to the interests of the building, and they were all captured one by one by them and Shimabukuro Kimie, who was busy on the subway.

According to Tang Ze's previous estimate, today's harvest in one night would be enough for the next egg to appear. The only thing left to pull alive and bring down Gu Zero's next egg was time to gather information and wait for it to hatch.

And the reason why they have not evacuated until now is not only the need to give the Phantom Thieves a gorgeous curtain call, but also another important reason, that is, another big target, Mio Tokiwa, has not been completed by the final strategy.

Relying on her own selfish desires and so-called responsibility to the family business, Mio Tokiwa promoted the completion of the building at any cost. In her eyes now, this building is almost the entirety of her career.

In order to defeat this strong woman's inner defense, Tang Ze prepared the sign on the building so early.

——Even if you rely on the abilities of Noah and Hoshikawa Teru to rush through the night, painting such a large logo on the outer wall of such a tall building is still very time-consuming and labor-intensive. The fundamental purpose of the operation is to shake Mio Tokiwa's mind in advance. Let her palace show its distorted true form as soon as possible, instead of being an impregnable fortress.

How should I put it, a space fortress that is hundreds of meters high and equipped with various sci-fi weapons, even if they are super-powered monster thieves, it is still too much.

"Karasawa said, it's confirmed." Asai Shimizu, who has always maintained contact with Karasawa, said firmly, "It's a bit similar to the original Noah."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was still young when he joined the group and had not yet fully understood the world, raised his eyebrows.

Miyano Akemi stepped on the smooth glass and took a few steps forward.

The strong wind at high altitude pulled the hem of her skirt like a flag.

She tapped the building beneath her feet with the heel of her high heels.

"The woman who is so paranoid and crazy, regardless of the cost, is desperate to build this building. Her secret treasure... of course, is the building itself."

————

"You all go in."

"But Conan-kun, and Xiao Ai..."

"It's okay. We just get on the next bus and leave."

Two fake primary school students, one on the left and one on the right, followed Mao Lilan and waved to the three young detective team members who looked worried.

"Is it really okay?" Yoshida Ayumi looked at the two classmates standing outside the door and couldn't help but feel anxious.

I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Ai and Conan’s physiques are like this, or because they are probably the smartest in the team and therefore the most likely to have problems. I always feel that every time they face a similar situation, they are more likely to have problems. .

If possible, Yoshida Ayumi really hopes that they will be the first to escape danger. Otherwise, I always feel that things will happen again.

"Hurry up and get off, time is urgent." Haiyuan Ai stood still and smiled reassuringly at a few people. His eyes quickly turned to the other passengers who were also saying goodbye.

"Teacher, please go down first." Tangze stuffed the two scrolls into the Ruyue Peak Sailor without any explanation, and pushed him towards the elevator.

"Look down on my legs and feet? Don't treat me like an old man!" Ruyue Fengshui snorted twice and tapped the crutch twice unconvincingly.

"I know you are in good health and you climb mountains and walk like flying every day, but the situation is different." Tang Ze pushed him forward again, "Just think of it as protecting your paintings, right?"

I don't know if the call from the Phantom Thieves played a role, or Karasawa's insidious statement made Kisaragi Hosui change his mind. Originally, Kisaragi Hosui was supposed to give a giant picture frame to Mio Tokiwa, but after careful consideration, he finally chose to take it. The scroll came out for easy framing as the highlight of the night.

Therefore, when others were panicking due to the explosion and the activities of the Phantom Thieves, Karasawa casually rolled up the stage a few times, stored Kisaragi Hosui and the paintings he had worked so hard to complete, and rolled them up like wooden sticks. shape.

I've known for a long time that the building is going to blow up, so don't waste art, change it to a recyclable form, which will be more environmentally friendly.

When Mio Tokiwa changed her mind later, and the relationship between the entire Tokiwa Group and the organization was discovered and thoroughly investigated, the senior sister who must have paid for the paintings was no longer in the mood to ask for the things back.

Back and forth, free prostitution, win-win.

Now these two paintings are held in Ruyue Fengshui's arms.

This old man, who was always cold and tough, held the painting so carefully, which made Tang Ze sigh slightly.

Not to mention anything else, he, this cheap teacher whom he bumped into halfway, was really caring about Kitagawa Yusuke, a serious disciple, and the art he devoted his life to.

"Yusuke..." Standing at the junction of the elevator and the carpet, Kisaragi Hosui suddenly grabbed the sleeve of Karasawa's kimono with his backhand and looked at him deeply with an unspeakable look.

Tangze looked at him and understood something from the other's worried and struggling expression.

Whether it was the Phantom Thieves mark that appeared on the practice work, or the logo that appeared on the building when the two of them arrived at Joban Group for an early visit and left together, including the fact that they suddenly appeared and shamelessly wanted to be his apprentice. …

Kasugetsu Hosui must have been aware of the fact that Kitagawa Yusuke is related to the Phantom Thieves.

Karasawa smiled reassuringly, showing a slightly different look from Kitagawa Yusuke, who didn't know how to read the air and had no emotional intelligence.

"Don't worry about me, teacher. I'm sensible and nothing will happen."

Ruyue Fengshui looked at him steadily for a few seconds, then looked at the other people standing in the elevator with anxious faces, and sighed silently.

"Take this." Just like when Tang Ze pushed the scroll to him, Ruyue Fengshui couldn't help but push the crutch in his hand into Tang Ze's hand.

"This..." Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Tang Ze was stunned.

"Take it. Get down here safely, you kid..." Ruyue Fengshui shook his head.

He knew that his cheap apprentice had a lot of doubts about his identity, and the Phantom Thieves slowly becoming active in his social circle with the appearance of the other party was an obvious signal.

He even knew that there was a high probability that he was also one of the main targets of the Phantom Thieves. His sudden mood at the venue today was also full of tricks...

He understood everything, but when he saw Kitagawa Yusuke's inexplicably calm face and saw the messy piles in the studio, all of which were carefully practiced, he couldn't help but feel weak.

Thinking of that phone call, the other party jokingly offered to help him solve the problem of the building completely, but he had even had murderous intentions at that time, and was ready to make all the stakeholders who built the building invisible to the opening ceremony. In preparation for the sun, the purpose of this phone call is self-evident.

"Today's young people...it's up to you."

Ruyue Fengshui's figure disappeared into the light as the elevator door closed, and the venue fell into darkness again.

Now, there are still the passengers of the last elevator, such as Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan Haibara Ai. They only need to take the last trip, and the remaining people should follow the police and leave through the escape tunnel.

"Police Department, we have checked. Several people at the scene were mentally disturbed, and a few people are still unable to organize their speech normally, but overall they have not been physically harmed." Several policemen hurriedly walked to the waiting area. Mu Shisan reported the situation next to him, "You can prepare to evacuate."

In order to maintain order and avoid rescue problems, they did not rush to evacuate because of the emergency. Instead, they were very experienced in arranging the crowd into groups and confirmed that no one was unable to move before officially preparing to leave.

Hidehiko Kazama breathed a sigh of relief after waiting for a long time.

"Everyone!" He turned on the flashlight in his hand and said loudly, "Please follow me, let's take the escape passage and go downstairs. Pay attention to your steps, please don't panic, and take care of other people around you..."

As he continued to give instructions, Tang Ze lowered his head and looked at the crutch in his hand.

After only a few gropings, he found the switch of the crutch, and without any surprise, he pulled out a snow-white sharp blade.

As expected, Ruyue Fengshui will not be aimless.
