Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 166: Cunning Rum (Part )
On a rooftop a thousand meters away.

Amuro Toru was holding a telescope. After seeing Chianti lying down with his hands covering his wound, he could not help but sigh, "Did he really hit it?"

This distance...

It’s almost catching up with the theoretical range of that sniper rifle, right?
I couldn't help but feel my admiration for Xia He deepened.

at the same time.

"Take it."

Xia He threw the gun to Amuro Toru, then took off his windbreaker and walked towards the emergency exit on his own.

"Where are you going?" Amuro Toru asked in confusion.

"Look for Curacao." Xia He replied.

The location given by Noah's Ark just now was not Chianti, but Curacao, which was hiding in the dark and responsible for controlling the bomb.

The reason why he stayed where he was after knowing the location was to find out Chianti's location so that he could get rid of it as soon as possible.

It must be said that Xia He's ears were indeed quite good. With just a faint gunshot that could be ignored, he instantly found out the enemy's shooting location...

If it were him, he would not be able to find the right direction in such a noisy environment.

But then again, Xia He went to find Curacao, so what should I do now?
After taking a look at the explosion scene and hesitating for about seven or eight seconds, Toru Amuro put the gun into the box and then quickly ran towards the corridor.

……

"At nine o'clock, turn left, and then go straight at twelve o'clock."

The voice navigation of Noah's Ark came from the Bluetooth headset.

Xia He, who had not taken off his costume, still had Gin's face on, and moved quickly.

"Turn left ahead, continue straight for 400 meters, and then enter the Mihua Municipal Building."

"Rice Flower Municipal Building..."

Here it is again.

The place where I used to play virtual games with Sonoko and the others.

He muttered to himself and quickened his pace. It took him only less than 20 seconds to run the meters and went straight into the skyscraper.

But after entering, I found that the elevator inside had been stopped due to a malfunction.

So he turned around and ran towards the stairs.

same moment.

Watching Xia He's back disappear at the stairs, the receptionist at the lobby on the first floor immediately picked up the phone and dialed.

……

strangeness……

too weird.

Xia He was running in the corridor, always feeling that something was wrong.

Even if he placed the bomb as a safety precaution, shouldn't he have retreated directly after confirming that Shuichi Akai was not dead?
Why did you continue to stay at the scene and deal with the FBI and the police?

I still don't give up...

Or is there some other purpose?
Xia He inhaled and exhaled at a steady pace while jumping across the floors.

Soon, when he ran to the 35th floor, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It wasn't Gin's phone, but his own.

He subconsciously took it out and looked at it, only to see that the note on the caller ID was "Death Elementary School Student".

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Xia He, the remaining bombs are installed inside the Beika Municipal Building!" Shinichi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Huh? How do you know?" Xia He asked in surprise.

"I just learned from the news that at about 10:30, senior officials from the Defense Agency will hold a live conference there, including Mr. Yasuteru Domon, who has just recovered and been discharged from the hospital, and his father." Kudo Shinichi said. "Yasuteru Domon?"

I see……

The last assassination attempt failed, so should we just take this opportunity to assassinate again this time?

No wonder Rum was reluctant to leave. It seemed that he was trying to attract public attention to cover up the assassination.

With Shinichi's hint, Xia He figured out the real purpose of the Black Organization, and quickly checked the time on his watch:

Ten fifteen.

It was obviously too late to inform Yasuteru Domon to cancel the meeting.

So after thinking it over again and again, Xia He simply went up to the floor and smashed the fire alarm.

The next moment.

Under the dual stimulation of fire and elevator outage, the employees, feeling extremely panicked, rushed to the emergency exits.

Xia He first organized the order a little to avoid a stampede, then looked at the time and saw that the pointer had pointed to twenty-eight minutes. Then he turned around and rushed to the rooftop.

……

same moment.

The edge of the rooftop.

Curacao held the bomb controller in his hand and glanced at the people frantically evacuating from the building. For a moment, his eyes looked a little confused.

It was not until she vaguely heard the fire alarm ringing in the floor that she suddenly realized what had happened. She then turned on the headset and said, "Mr. Rum, something unexpected has happened..."

"No need to ask."

The locked iron door was kicked open, Xia He walked out of the emergency passage, looked at Curacao with a smile and said, "I have evacuated everyone in the building, and Domon Yasuki, who learned that there was a fire here, will probably cancel today's meeting... In short, your plan has failed, so you'd better surrender obediently."

"Who are you?" Curacao couldn't help asking, looking at Gin's face.

Upon hearing this, Xia He tore off the disguise on his face, revealing his true appearance.

"Jiu Nao Xiahe?!"

Curacao's eyes widened when he saw this.

How come there are so many wines?

Her face was full of surprise.

However, Xia He took advantage of Curacao's surprise and immediately moved forward.

The distance had shortened to less than ten meters.

Xia He was about to make a diving move, but Curacao reacted and immediately put his finger on the button of the controller.

"Don't come over here. If you come over again, we will die together!" she began to roar.

"No, there's no need to be so extreme. Even if you detonate the bombs in the building now, it won't have any effect other than killing yourself."

Xia He said, ignoring Curacao's threat, and continued to move forward with a smile, "So don't struggle any more. At least staying alive is the most important thing, isn't it?"

“Survive…?”

When Curacao heard these two words, he suddenly laughed.

From the moment she was sent here by Rum, she never thought about going back alive.

So, under Xia He's extremely helpless look, Curacao pressed the button without any hesitation.

……

boom--!
A raging fire lit up.

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the Mihua Municipal Building, standing among a number of buildings, collapsed in an instant.
