For a moment, Conan felt that his heart was a little bad.

Shadowcat!

Shadow Cat!!

Why did you take the bomb away in advance? Is this some kind of treasure?

No, that's not right...

It should be said, since you have stolen the bomb, why do you want to keep the criminal's design? Is it fun to scare people?

The detective was so angry that veins appeared on his forehead. He was speechless and choked, and his tense mood suddenly relaxed.

He suddenly thought of another unlucky criminal - Moritani Teiji. Every time that guy installed a bomb, the shadow cat would dismantle one for him. The cat would follow Moritani Teiji like a ghost.

After his death, he was waiting to take away the plastic bombs he had carefully prepared.

Poor Moritani Teiji knew nothing. When he was threatening the police and waiting for the skyscraper to explode, he didn't know that his treasury had been emptied by Shadow Cat.

But what that guy did was somewhat dangerous, right? What if something happened while the elevator was out of service? Fortunately, the people in the elevator were all adults. If they were children or patients...

etc……

Conan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but stand up, shine a flashlight on the surroundings, and look around.

Amuro Toru, who had been stunned for a long time, saw his strange behavior and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"...Nothing." Conan raised his neck and looked above again, and then squatted down.

Although Toru Amuro is also a friend of Kitahara Sosuke, and Conan was touched by his fearless behavior just now, there are still some things that he cannot tell him.

For example...Conan actually suspected that Shadow Cat had been "watching" this place after he defused the bomb, or that the three passengers in the elevator before were his people. He believed that guy would not risk the lives of ordinary people, for sure

What kind of confidence do you have to make this joke?

Conan suspected that there must be hidden cameras or bugs installed nearby by Shadowcat to monitor the situation, but it was too dark above the elevator shaft, and there was Toru Amuro next to him, so Conan couldn't search in detail, so he took a general look.

Circle, and nothing was discovered.

"Conan! Conan! Are you okay?" Takagi Wataru, who stood below and did not dare to move, kept in touch with the Metropolitan Police Department on his mobile phone for a while without hearing the boy's voice. He was a little nervous, so he raised his voice and said, "Explosion."

The material handling team has arrived, and they will transport the bomb disposal tools down from the elevator shaft, so you are ready to receive them."

"Hi--"

Conan responded loudly and reached out to grab the bomb in the package.

"Wait!" Toru Amuro hurriedly reached out to stop him and lowered his voice, "What if it's a scam?"

There were thin beads of sweat on his forehead - if what appeared on the screen was the prisoner's provocation, it would not be surprising. He was prepared to deal with the worst situation, but this kind of joke-like message made Toru Amuro at a loss.

He instinctively wanted to doubt it, but there was an absurd voice in his heart that told him it was credible.

"It's fine."

Conan seemed much calmer - according to the character of the prisoner, the message left behind could only be a death threat and a game that tests human nature. This style that makes people itchy but full of goodwill must be...

Shadow cat.

There is no one else but him.

Conan's eyes flashed, and he directly took off the bomb and opened it... Sure enough, one side of the jar that they thought contained dangerous liquids was filled with clean water, and the other side... was still clean water.

Amuro Toru looked at the clear water swaying in the jar with complicated eyes. Because the surrounding environment was very dark, the water looked black.

He closed his eyes to let the sudden heartache calm down. He was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by Conan.

The boy checked the listening device next to the bomb again, and unexpectedly found that the thing was not fake and was still working.

this……

Does this thing belong to Shadowcat? Or does it belong to the bomber?

Think about what that evil guy Shadowcat would do...

The two looked at each other, nodded, and jumped out of the vent one after the other.

"Wow!" Takagi Wataru was startled by the figure falling from the sky and almost fell down. He was then supported by Toru Amuro. The blond man also covered his mouth to prevent him from saying anything inappropriate.

Say what you say.

"Officer Takagi." Conan came closer and said in a low voice, "The bomb above is fake, but the prisoner probably doesn't know it yet. So please stay here to cooperate and confuse the prisoner."

What? The bomb is fake? You didn’t lie to me, did you?

Wait...why doesn't the prisoner know whether his bomb is real or fake?

Cooperate?

Me, how can I confuse...

Takagi Wataru, who couldn't speak a word, had countless questions stuck in his throat, and his round eyes were full of doubts.

"Just pretend that I'm still up there disarming the bomb." Conan reminded, "I will also notify other police officers to cooperate with you."

Takagi Wataru...o                                      

He still couldn't understand anything. But Takagi Wataru is a very obedient policeman. He knows that he is not smart enough, so he just needs to listen to smart people.

——Even if the other party is a child of only seven years old, it’s okay.

The policeman with question marks on his face nodded hesitantly, and Conan smiled and said, "Please."

Toru Amuro let go of Takagi Wataru, walked out of the elevator and put on his leather shoes and jacket. The tall and thin policeman was stunned for a while in the elevator before he remembered his mission. He said loudly and alone, "Conan...you...you

Remember not to move, the elevator may explode if it shakes..."

The young policeman racked his brains to think of how to comfort the child in this situation, but he felt that it would be weird to apply this kind of mood to the little boy just now.

Fortunately, after a while, the voice of a police colleague came from the mobile phone——

"I understand the situation. Next, I will tell you the steps to dismantle this type of bomb. You just need to repeat it. First, you must dismantle the photosensitive detonation device..."

…………………………………………

After stepping out of the elevator, Conan quickly informed the Megure Police Department of the situation over the phone, and they would naturally know how to arrange the rest of the work. After the call ended, he found Toru Amuro looking at him thoughtfully.

"Conan, how old are you today?" Toru Amuro suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Conan blinked, "Seven years old."

"...Seven years old?" Toru Amuro said suspiciously, "The way you talked to the police just now didn't look like an ordinary elementary school student."

"Haha, because my uncle is the famous detective Mouri Kogoro! I'm just imitating the way he talks!" Conan explained quickly, "By the way, there is one more important thing than this, right?"

Toru Amuro nodded, and then said, "Although the bomb in the elevator was replaced, the first explosion of the prisoner three years ago stopped the Ferris wheel. The second bomb in the pod only exploded three seconds before it exploded."

It will show where the third bomb is installed, and the third bomb is the most powerful. The second bomb is just a trap for the police. Therefore, it is forced..."

He paused and continued, "...forced the police officer at the time to die in order to obtain tips. If the prisoner this time is the same person as three years ago, then there should also be one - the third bomb."

Conan said, "The time of the explosion...should be the three o'clock in the afternoon mentioned in the notice."

"But the prisoner's real clue lies in the hands of Shadow Cat." Toru Amuro said with a cold face.

"So if you want to know the location of the explosion, you can only ask two people -" Conan said, "Shadow Cat, or the prisoner himself."

In fact, he suspected that the bomb had been taken away by Shadow Cat in advance, but they couldn't take any chances until they saw the definite evidence.

Toru Amuro paused in his steps.

As soon as he arrived at Tokyo Tower, he encountered an elevator explosion. His first reaction was to save people, and he even forgot why he came.

——What did Kitahara say before?

He is in front of me...

…………………………………………

"Please let us in! We also have the right to know the situation!"

"Yes! What happened inside? Is there really a bomb in the elevator? Or are the police trying to cover up some people's incompetence?"

Faced with the aggressiveness of a group of reporters, those guarding the entrance to Tokyo Tower just said with a straight face, "I'm sorry, we can't let any people take risks until it's safe."

"You can't risk it yourself. This is my duty?"

"Press credentials are useless here! Have you obtained permission from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"What's going on inside? How can I know from standing here? Maybe you can ask the Nomumu Police Department... But they are currently handling the case and may not have time to respond..."

Faced with the helpless police, these "uncrowned kings" armed with short-term cannons had no choice. After trying hard for a while, they still couldn't get permission, so they could only report the situation outside.

The crowd gathered nearby had roughly understood what was going on inside, and the police's attitude of being in front of the enemy also made them have many speculations. At this moment, there were a lot of discussions, and most people's faces were full of nervousness and worry.

The young man in black standing in a remote place was holding his cell phone with his head down, playing the video just now again——

In the dim elevator shaft, Conan and Toru Amuro squatted together, their faces full of confusion, looking at each other, looking stupid.

"The picture was very clear."

"Well, I used the latest infrared night vision device." Yushu complained, "But brother, did you spend so much effort just to tease Conan and the others?"

"Of course not!" Kitahara Sosuke thought for a while and said, "I have a more serious purpose."

"What purpose?"

"Wait, let me think about it... um... eh? This sound doesn't seem right. Have they already left the elevator?" Kitahara Sosuke looked around and asked him.

"...Yes." Yushu said, "Amuro-san should contact you soon...well, he has the phone."
