After the game, all the lights in the venue were suddenly turned off, and a beam of light shone on the podium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the most important guest of today. He is also the national treasure of our country, the work of Mr. Kisaragi Minami.”As the host spoke, he pointed behind everyone. Everyone looked over and saw a big screen descending from behind. The host continued," Kisaragi-san especially likes Mount Fuji. He spent more than 30 years depicting the majestic appearance of Mount Fuji.”Mount Fuji appeared on the screen at various times. " This time, in order to celebrate the completion of his student, Tokiwa Mio's twin tower skyscraper, he specially presented a new painting of his. Let me introduce 'Fuji in the Spring Snow'," the host said. The curtain behind him slowly pulled open, and the lights instantly lit up. However, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was so shocking that they widened their eyes. The woman screamed in horror, and the scene was in chaos. Tokiwa Mio was hanging in the middle of the painting that was supposed to be displayed.
" Damn it!" Maori Kogoro ran up to the podium excitedly and shouted to Secretary Sawaguchi, who was operating backstage," Put Mio-san down!" Also, quickly pull up the curtain!"
"Yes."
Maori Kogoro caught Tokiwa Mio who was put down, touched her carotid artery, and then lowered his head in disappointment." I can't take it anymore."”
The pearl necklace was hooked to the piano wire, and then the piano wire was connected to the painting... Conan thought as he observed the condition of the body.
Suddenly, Maori Kogoro noticed something at the feet of the corpse." Isn't that... isn't that a small wine glass?”
Could it be that this incident was also…
Officer Megure, who had been waiting outside, quickly rushed over after receiving the news. After a series of questions, Mori-Kogoro's unreliable reasoning was refuted by Conan, and Conan was thrown aside by the angry Mori-Kogoro.
"It hurts!" Conan shouted as he rubbed his aching butt.
"It seems to be very tiring." Xiao Ai, who was standing at the side, gloated at Conan's tragic appearance.
"If you know, quickly give me some advice.”Conan looked at Xiao Ai and said unhappily.
"Well…the best I can say is that Mio-san probably drank a lot.”Xiao Ai looked at Yan Ze and said leisurely. Conan was stunned when he heard this. Xiao Ai continued," If she wasn't drunk, would she not feel anything when the hook hooked onto her necklace?”
Conan felt that he had pressed something on his hand. He picked it up and looked at the pearl. Why did it fall here? Wait a minute, could it be... Conan looked in the direction of Maori Kogoro and the others, if that person is the murderer... Conan thought, and then suddenly ran out.
Xiao Ai looked at Conan, who suddenly ran out, and was stunned. Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Yan Ze, who was beside her, and she pulled him out." Yan Ze, what's wrong? Where are you taking me?"
"It's dangerous."
"Dangerous…?" Before Xiao Ai could finish, all the lights went out and the building started to shake.
"What exactly happened?" Officer Megure asked.
At this moment, Mr. Fuuma received a phone call and repeated the contents of the phone in shock." Explosion?”Officer Megure looked at him in surprise. Fuuma calmed down and continued to ask," Where?”
"The motor room and generator room on the 4th floor, and the computer room on the 40th floor!”
"The computer room…"
" Fuuma, the Tokiwa Corporation's main computer is there. All the important information will disappear!”Secretary Sawaguchi said nervously.
"The building on the 40th floor has also caught fire. Please leave there as soon as possible and take refuge!”
"I understand." Mr. Fuuma hung up the phone and said to Police Officer Megure," Police Department Megure, it's better to evacuate as soon as possible."”
" The motor room and generator room were destroyed, which means that the backup power supply is gone," Officer White Bird said.
"Then the elevator won't work?" Officer Megure asked.
" Yes," Mr. Fuuma said. He suddenly thought of something and said," No, the sightseeing elevator might still move!"”
"Really?"
"In order to provide for the VIP to use when escaping, the power supply is set up separately.”
"What about the number of passengers?"
"It can carry nine adults."
"It will take too much time to carry everyone. Is there any other way to escape?”Officer White Bird asked.
"If you take the escape ladder to the 60th floor, you can go to Building B next door through the communication bridge.”
"Alright, let the elderly, women, and children take the sightseeing elevator down. The rest of you take the escape ladder and evacuate!”Officer Megure arranged.
Next to the elevator, the children took the first elevator to escape. Conan stood at the elevator door and wanted Xiaolan to escape first, but Xiaolan pushed him into the elevator. However, as soon as Conan stood in the elevator, an overload alarm sounded.
" Conan…" Ayumi looked at Conan worriedly.
"It's okay. I'll go down in a while.”Conan comforted.
The elevator door closed and went down. However, when it reached the 66th floor, it suddenly stopped. Just as everyone was wondering, the door opened and a woman holding a child stood at the door.
"I'm sorry." the woman said apologetically.
The children of the Detective Squad looked at each other and walked out of the elevator.”
" But…" The woman hesitated.
" It's alright, it's alright," Bu Mei said.
"We can take refuge in the building next to the communication bridge on the 60th floor.”Mitsuhiko said.
"See you down there." Genta said.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." Bu Mei said as she pushed the woman into the elevator.
"Thank you, children." As the woman spoke, the elevator door closed again.
"How annoying. Why is it so dark? I can't even tell where it is.”Bu Mei was a little afraid.
"What should we do? I just sent the Illuminating Watch.”Genta asked.
"This is bad." As soon as Mitsuhiko finished speaking, a beam of light suddenly shone from the side.
The three of them looked over. It was the light from Xiao Ai's illumination watch.
"Seriously, you should have thought of this before coming out.”Xiao Ai said.
"Oh, right. Conan, Haihara, and Yanze didn't participate in the game.”Mitsuhiko said excitedly. "Yanze, where's your watch?"
"Here." Yan Ze raised his hand.
"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Genta asked curiously.
Yan Ze looked at the watch on his hand and then at the one on Xiao Ai's hand. He explained calmly," I don't know how long this battery can last. I'd better use the one on Xiao Ai first. One is enough."”
Everyone looked at Yan Ze in a daze. Yan Ze usually spoke very little. This was the first time they heard him say so much, and they were a little stunned.
" Let's go then," Bu Mei said.
"Wait a minute. Isn't it better to wait for the next elevator?”
"You're very stupid. The next elevator will definitely be full again.”Xiao Ai said.
"Anyway, hurry up and go to the 60th floor.”Mitsuhiko suggested.
Xiao 'ai led the way in front of them, and everyone followed closely behind, running towards the bridge.
Not long after, they arrived at the communication bridge. Just as they were about to go over, Yan Ze suddenly pushed them back, followed by the sound of an explosion.
After the explosion, Xiao Ai looked back nervously and saw Yan Ze standing there unharmed. She heaved a sigh of relief, but she still asked worriedly," Yanze, how are you? Are you okay?"”
"I'm fine." Yan Ze shook his head, then looked at the destroyed communication bridge behind him and frowned.
The children also walked over. They looked at the destroyed communication bridge in front of them and didn't know what to do. They looked at Xiao Ai uneasily.
Xiao Ai walked to Yan Ze's side and looked at the building opposite. She asked softly," Yanze, is there any way?"”
Yan Ze thought about it and frowned awkwardly. At this moment, Conan's voice suddenly sounded," Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, can you hear me?”
The children took out their detective badges, and Bu Mei said happily," I heard you, Conan.”
"Where are you now?"
"We are…in front of the bridge on the 60th floor.”Mitsuhiko said.
" What?!" Conan was surprised.
After a while, the children suddenly heard something.
"That voice is…"
"It's a skateboard!"
"Is it Conan?"
The children looked at the other side of the bridge at the same time and saw Conan jumping over on his skateboard.
"It hurts!" Conan fell to the ground and grinned.
"You're so awesome!"
"So handsome!"
"He's simply a savior!"
The three children looked at Conan and said excitedly.
"Seriously, now is not the time to admire me.”Conan narrowed his half-moon eyes helplessly as he listened to their praises.
"Mr. Inspector, everyone is going up now. Please let the helicopter stop on the top floor.”Conan contacted Officer Megure over the phone.
After saying that, Conan hung up the phone and led the children to the top floor.
"Climbing 15 floors is really tiring.”Genta panted heavily as he knelt on the ground.
"Genta, you can do it.”Bu Mei encouraged him and continued walking up.
Genta looked at the people walking in front of him. He had no choice but to get up and continue to climb up slowly.
When they arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall on the 75th floor, Conan turned around and said to the three children behind him," You guys go up first." Then, he handed the flashlight in his hand to Mitsuhiko.
"Conan, where are you going?" Mitsuhiko asked.
Conan ignored Mitsuhiko's question. He opened the door and walked in with Xiao Ai and Yan Ze.
"Where are you going? Hello?" Genta shouted. Seeing that Conan was ignoring him, he turned his head and continued to ask Mitsuhiko," What is he doing?”
" If Conan would do this, he must have his own thoughts. Let's go to the roof first." Mitsuhiko continued to walk to the roof after saying that. Ayumi followed closely behind.
Genta thought for a moment. Seeing that Ayumi and Kazuhiko had left, he couldn't help but chase after them in a panic." Let me think for a moment."”
At the banquet venue, Conan and the other two walked to the back and saw a person standing in front of the painting where Tokiwa Mio was hanged.
"Someone is there." Xiao Ai said warily.
"They are the murderers of Oki-san and Mio-san.”Conan said.
Hearing Conan's words, Xiao Ai was stunned. She looked at Yan Ze beside her. Yan Ze felt Xiao Ai's gaze and nodded.
Conan took a step forward and continued," He decided to kill Mio-san for some reason, so he gave her that pearl necklace and asked her to wear it to introduce the painting he gave her during the opening speech.”
" Then the murderer is..." Xiao Ai quickly reacted and guessed after hearing Conan's words.
"Moon-like Peak Water." Yan Ze said indifferently.
"That's right, Mio-san's Japanese painting teacher.”Conan walked forward and turned on the light on his watch to shine on the figure.
"You are…"
"My name is Conan Edogawa, I'm a detective. Kisaragi-san gave Mio-san a pearl necklace as a gift, and he purposely made it so that it would fall apart easily, right? Then Kisaragi-san prepared another necklace. At the banquet, you took out that necklace and hooked it onto the piano wire that was hanging from Mount Fuji along the creases of the curtain. Then, you walked toward Mixu from the lamp beside your feet and took off the necklace. Then, you said to the flustered Mixu,'It's okay, I'll help you put it on', and put the other necklace around her neck, the one with the piano wire, which means…"
