"Bang!" A loud explosion echoed in the corridor and the floors shook violently.

Maori's eyes narrowed and he quickened his pace to the connecting bridge, only to find that the connecting bridge that originally connected the two buildings had collapsed, leaving only ruins.

It was indeed those guys who really left no room for maneuver...

"Uncle Mori." Mitsuhiko and others walked up to Mori and looked at the disconnected communication bridge quietly with a gloomy expression.

"What should I do……"

Mao Li turned around and looked at Mitsuhiko.

Aside from Mitsuhiko, even Ayumi, Genta, and Ai didn't go down...

"How come you are here?"

"Because there was an aunt holding a baby getting on the elevator on the 66th floor, so..."

"no way,"

Mao Li looked at the bright building opposite and said, "It's impossible to get through now. You guys should take the observation elevator down first. I don't know if it can still be used..."

"The only places where you can take the observation elevator here are the 66th and 75th floors."

"Then you guys go to the 66th floor."

"What about us?" Sonoko looked at Maori nervously, "Aren't we going together?"

Mao Li shook his head. "I will call Officer Megure to arrange for a helicopter to come over. Sonoko, you and I will go to the top floor and wait until the helicopter arrives."

"Ah?" Yuanzi's legs went weak and she almost fainted. "We still have to crawl back up? Can't we take the elevator down together?"

"I'll explain the reason to you later, just listen to me now."

Maori said this - although he looked calm, he actually felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Although there are helicopters available, but...

Can I really leave smoothly?

With Gin's abilities, it is impossible for him not to consider the helicopter.

But there is no better way for the time being. Even if Inspector Megure searches for Gin and other members of the Black Organization, there will be no results. Instead, it will make things worse.

I can only go upstairs to buy time...

"We are going to the 66th floor now..." Maori walked behind the children and contacted Conan, "What? The observation elevator is not working?"

Conan looked up at the fire that had already spread to the 45th floor and said, "Yes, the fire in the middle is very big and has completely burned out. I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads to the upper floors!"

"Got it," Mao Li nodded in response to the worried looks of Ayumi and the others, "We'll go to the roof right away, and you should also think of a way to at least distract their attention. But it's best not to expose yourself, as the other side may have a sniper rifle..."

Haibara looked back at Maori, her eyes moved slightly but she didn't say anything.

After the computer room in the building was blown up, she guessed that it was the organization's work. Now it seems that Sonoko, who looks like her, has been added as a target.

Innocent people were implicated again...

"The Kisaragi Peak water didn't go down either?" Maori suddenly asked in surprise, "I might know where he is. I won't leave him alone, otherwise Miss Sawaguchi will be regarded as the murderer."

After ending the call, Mao Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Really, when he and Conan both received invitations and the organization showed signs of appearing, he knew that it couldn't be a normal banquet. There were serial murders and explosions...

On the 75th floor of Building A, Mao Li led everyone back to the banquet hall. There was a helipad on the roof, but the helicopter had not arrived yet.

"Wait here for a moment, I have some things to take care of."

Mao Li paused and walked towards the stage alone.

Behind the curtain, Kisaragi Minemizu stood silently in front of the hanging painting of Mount Fuji with a cane. When he heard the noise, he frowned and looked at Maori.

Maori stood across from old man Kisaragi, "Ms. Mio's pearl necklace wasn't caught by the piano wire, but she was wearing the necklace that got caught, so she didn't notice it in time."

"That pearl necklace was given to her by Kisaragi-san, and he deliberately made it so that it would easily fall apart... In fact, there were two pearl necklaces. Kisaragi-san deliberately dropped the one that Mio was wearing on the stage, and he probably said something like he would help her pick it up, and took the opportunity to put the necklace with the piano string on it on her..."

"Not only Miss Mio, but also Mr. Oki. The bloodstains on the closet have neat edges. I think your calligraphy and paintings were originally hung there, right?" Maori looked at old man Kisaragi and said, "Using the excuse of sending calligraphy and paintings to Councillor Oki, he was assassinated when he was least prepared..."

"Humph," said old man Ruyue with a sullen face, "I've already said that when Mr. Yuan was killed, I had an alibi..."

"Because you didn't kill Mr. Yuan," Mao Li interrupted, "When you went there, he had been shot dead by someone else. In order to disguise it as a serial murder case and to create your own alibi, you left a small wine glass at the scene...

"If it's a serial murder case, as long as one of the murderers has an alibi, he won't be suspected of being the murderer. However... when the wine glass was broken, some of the pieces fell into the pool of blood that had already solidified. Didn't you expect this?"

"It's really an interesting deduction, Mr. Detective," said old man Ruyue, "but it's just deduction..."

"Of course there is evidence. The pearl necklace with Miss Mio's fingerprint should be hidden in the hollow cane, right?" Maori affirmed.

Old man Ruyue narrowed his eyes slightly, unscrewed the handle of his cane, poured out a string of pearls and threw it aside: "How did you know?"

"Because after Miss Mio was killed, the sound of the cane changed," Maori picked up the cane and stuffed the pearl back in. "The helicopter will be here soon, go and turn yourself in."

"Humph, you are worthy of being a detective. But, don't you want to know my motive?"

"It's not too late to talk about the motive once we get to the police station. I'm just a detective. The investigation is the police's job."

"Really?" Old Man Ruyue's beard twitched slightly. He glanced at Maori and leisurely took out a small bottle of poison from his pocket. "Since you have discovered the evidence of the necklace, I can't argue anymore..."

"I'm sorry, I can't let you die here."

Maori assembled his crutch, swung it around, and knocked the medicine bottle over with a bang, knocking the old man unconscious.

This is an extra burden, but it would be even more troublesome if we don't knock this old man out...

Huiyuan walked behind the curtain first, watching Maori help the old man up: "Are you really planning to leave by helicopter? I'm afraid no one will be able to leave in the end..."

Mao Li paused for a moment: "How do you know if you don't try?"

"Let Sonoko lend me the clothes," Huibara said calmly, "If you continue like this, they won't let you go."

"Did you bring the temporary antidote?" Maori's heart skipped a beat.

"It was just a precaution, but now it seems to be working..."

"No, do you want to turn into 'Sherry' and die? I, Maori Kogoro, will not use this method to escape!"

"Uncle," Huiyuan lowered her head and said, "I've often wondered recently what I would have become if I hadn't met you... But the fate of a traitor is death. There is no place for me in this world. Staying in one place will only implicate more people..."

"Isn't it just betraying the Black Organization?" Maori carried the old man on his back and said, "You sound like the sky is about to fall. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, there is a tall man like me to hold it up for you! And I said, sooner or later, I will completely destroy this organization!"

"But……"

"It's nothing! Just listen to me!"

On the rooftop of Building A, with the roar of propellers, a helicopter finally flew overhead. Ayumi and a few others excitedly waved and shouted at the helipad.

Sonoko stood at the stairs, biting her lip and looking at the stage: "What on earth is the uncle hesitating about? And that little Ai..."

"Bang!" There was another sudden explosion around the helipad. Many oil drums bounced up and caused flames. In a blink of an eye, the rooftop turned into a sea of ​​fire. The helicopter was forced to move away.

"Come down quickly!" Maori didn't care about old man Rusue and hurriedly shouted to Ayumi and the others who were frightened above.

"Run away!"

"Damn it!" After rescuing a few children, Maori looked at the tarmac where flames were billowing with a grim expression.

As expected, there is a backup plan. Those guys are determined to kill them all...

Back at the banquet hall, Ayumi and the others who had escaped were still in shock: "What on earth is going on with this building?"

"We can only wait for the fire up there to be extinguished." Mitsuhiko wiped his sweat off his forehead and said helplessly.

Maori's expression did not relax. He moved his ears and turned his gaze to the shelf next to him where the wine bottles were placed.

Although the sound was very faint, I could still hear the sound of a timer...

"This is..." Maori's eyes narrowed when he noticed the faint red light coming from behind the middle row of wine bottles.

"bomb?!"

"It's not just there," Huihara lifted the tablecloth, "there are bombs tied under every table. We don't have time..."

“Only 4 minutes left!”

"It's over," Yuanzi's face turned pale, and she sniffed while trying to hold back tears. "Am I going to die here? I've grown up with so much difficulty..."

"Will not."

A bead of sweat ran down Maori's forehead, and he walked with his fists clenched to the floor-to-ceiling window where strong light was shining.

Inspector Megure and other firefighters have already reached the roof of Building B. Maori can clearly see the expressions of him, Xiaolan, Conan and others.

Chapter 112: Fast and Furious Detective Koshien?

"Conan!" Yuantai and a few others rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and shouted down, but it seemed like no one could hear them.

Sonoko followed with tears in her eyes and waved: "Lan!"

"Garden!"

Xiaolan saw the garden near the floor-to-ceiling window and several children who were shouting.

The firefighters nearby had already connected the water pipes and wanted to put out the fire on the helipad through the building, but the water column fell down halfway through the spray.

Not only the distance between the buildings, but also the height difference between the 75th and 69th floors has become a chasm. The water column pressure at this height is far from enough to cross...

Maori looked at Conan, who also had a heavy expression on his face, and his eyes swept across the roof of the swimming pool dome on the top of Building B. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned back to look at the supercar facing the floor-to-ceiling window, and a parabolic image emerged in his mind.

No way?

……

Time passed minute by minute, and the roof of Building B slowly opened. Ayumi and the others helped move the debris on the path to the side.

Mao Li stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the venue, his body tense and his palms full of sweat.

Although they had already planned to drive over there, he had no confidence that he could succeed.

"The distance between the buildings is 50 meters," Huihara looked at Maori calmly, "If the car wants to cross to the swimming pool, the distance is at least 60 meters. The height difference between buildings A and B is about 20 meters. Although objects on the earth can move at a constant speed in the horizontal direction, they will accelerate proportionally due to gravity when falling..."

"It only takes 20 seconds to fall from a height of 2 meters. To cross 2 meters in 60 seconds, the speed must reach at least 108 kilometers per hour. However, considering the size of this venue, the maximum speed can be accelerated to 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. If you rush over at this speed, even if you don't consider air resistance, you will fall down halfway..."

"Isn't that why we need to use the storm generated by the explosion?"

Mao Li lit a cigarette for himself and said calmly, "The moment the car broke through the window, it should have been able to use the air wave generated by the explosion as a thrust, so it should have been able to get through..."

The more Mao Li talked, the less confident he felt. If he really had no other choice, he would not have gambled like this.

However, this method should be beyond Gin's expectations, and it does have a great chance of escape.

Now it all depends on Ai's physical level and whether his driving skills are up to par...

If I get away with this time, I’ll make sure Gin and the others are in a good situation!

Huiyuan opened the rear cover of the sports car and thought, "In this case, timing is very important. If the bomb doesn't explode at the moment the car accelerates and breaks through the window, we won't be able to get through. If the car can't get out of here when the explosion happens, we will be caught in the explosion..."

Huiyuan glanced at Mao Li who was holding the steering wheel and said, "Besides, the timer switch is on the wine cabinet, and I can't see the time on the sports car. The only watch I have is out of battery, and my phone can't count the seconds..."

"Don't worry about that,"

Mao Li took off his watch as he said this, "I have the time on my watch here for you to check."

"It's impossible for a watch to be 100% synchronized with a timer, and a one-second error could result in two different results,"

Huiyuan took the watch and walked towards the wine cabinet, saying, "I'll help you count while I look at the watch..."

"How can there be a girl as stupid as you who is still thinking of sacrificing herself?"

Mao Li looked at the French window at the end and said, "I will never allow you to read the seconds. Besides, this watch is a famous watch given to me by Eri. The time error can basically be ignored."

Haibara paused, was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Maori.

Even in such a tense situation, Mao Li was unexpectedly calm...

"Uncle..."

"Uncle Maori."

Ayumi and the others looked at each other, nodded, and pulled Haibara into the sports car together.

Sonoko looked at Maori, then at Haibara, her expression gloomy, she clenched her fingers and lowered her head.

She is obviously older than these children, but now she seems like a burden and can't help at all...

"Sonoko, could you please take good care of Ai? If she doesn't wear a seat belt, she might fall down." Maori suddenly said.

"Huh?" Sonoko woke up in shock, nodded repeatedly and hugged Haibara tightly.
