Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 970 Of course, we climb up!

"Weren't you looking for Kosuke Mizutani? Didn't you find him?"

Ai Haibara turned her head to look.

Conan shook his head in a low voice: "Tokyo Tower is too big, and it's still nighttime."

"The inspectors are all here, and Mr. Mori is here too. I don't think he'll dare to show his face."

Ai Haibara had no expectations for today's arrest operation.

"He should come."

Conan himself didn't know why he was so determined. Maybe it was because he, like the other person, had a woman he deeply loved.

"Rumble--"

Suddenly, the ground of the observation deck shook violently, and the sound of an explosion came from behind.

Turning my head, I saw the numbers on the elevator doors were jumping wildly.

The elevator, which was originally on the observation deck, plummeted at an extremely fast speed.

"boom--"

Smoke and dust squeezed out from the elevator door cracks, accompanied by a thick, pungent odor.

"what happened?"

Ai Haibara exclaimed in surprise as she grabbed Anya's hand.

"Oops!"

The experienced Conan immediately confirmed that someone had blown up the elevator leading to the observation deck.

"You all hide in the mother and baby rest room next door."

"But."

Anya is itching to break free from Ai Haibara's control.

Unfortunately, she has small arms and legs, eats sweets and peanuts every day, and her body has nothing to do with muscles. She is not as strong as Ai Haibara, who occasionally exercises.

"Let's go, but be careful or I'll tell Xia Chuan you're disobedient."

"Oh."

Anya's face immediately fell.

As expected, Xia Chuan's name is more useful.

"He must have noticed the police's actions, but instead of stopping, he actually blew up the elevator!"

Upon reaching the elevator, use the retractable belt to pry open the elevator door.

The thick smoke choked Conan, making his face turn black.

Flames were raging below the elevator shaft, and the scorching heat almost made Conan unable to open his eyes.

"Hey Conan, are you all right over there?"

Conan answered the phone; it was Takagi's voice.

"The elevator has been rigged with explosives, and there may be other dangers elsewhere as well. Don't wander around. We've already applied for a helicopter."

"Where's Kosuke Mizutani?" Conan asked instead of answering Takagi's question.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "We didn't find it. A group of us searched down there for a long time, but we couldn't find it."

"A viewing platform is out of the question; it's too spacious."

Upon arrival, the police immediately checked all the rooms in the observation deck but found nothing.

According to the weather forecast, Tokyo is cloudless today, allowing for a complete view of the Big Dipper and Polaris.

The other party was not there.

The police had originally planned to give up.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left Conan and the other two kids on the observation deck.

Kogoro Mouri had just persuaded the police to give up when the explosion occurred.

"Hey kid, you better behave yourself on the observation deck and don't run around. Try to stay close to the center and don't get too close to the viewing glass."

Kogoro Mouri grabbed the microphone and roared.

Conan ignored him, put the phone away, and hung up.

Officer Takagi's words just now reminded him of something.

Why do people think that the observation deck is the best place to view the Big Dipper?

This idea had been occupying his mind ever since it came to him.

The observation deck is not the highest point!

He walked to the glass door of the observation deck.

Outside the observation deck, there is actually a corridor for experiential activities.

Normal tourists will walk around the outside using safety ropes, under the supervision of staff.

Tourists may not know, but Kudo Washi, a native of Tokyo, is well aware that there is a passageway in the corridor leading to the top of the tower.

The observation deck is not the highest point; the metal tower also has a circular upward passageway.

But at that height, the wind could blow a person away.

At least that's how Conan felt. With the safety rope fastened around his waist and the other end attached to the handrail of the passageway, Conan began to slowly ascend.

In the darkness, in the unseen distance, a helicopter was slowly approaching.

Below, police officers were working tirelessly to extinguish the fire.

This is, after all, a landmark building in Tokyo, with excellent fire-fighting facilities, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

"Luckily, no one's around."

Having fallen from a height of over 100 meters and been scorched by flames, the elevator car was completely mangled, smashed into flat metal pieces.

Takagi Wataru wiped away his sweat and turned around to find that someone had just disappeared from the doorway.

"Eh."

"What's wrong?" asked Miwako Sato.

"I think I just saw a figure from behind that looks a lot like Mr. Natsukawa."

"Natsukawa?"

Speaking of which, Xia Chuan was also a member of the joint investigation team, but he disappeared this morning.

"Oh no, explosives have also been planted in the security room and the monitoring room, and the explosion will happen in less than ten minutes."

Uehara Yui and Yamato Kansuke both delivered shocking news.

"how so."

Kogoro Mouri's face was ashen.

Conan, Anya, and Ai Haibara are all on it. If something happens, how will he explain it to Conan's parents and Natsukawa?
The detective's face turned a deep shade of liver color, and he jumped straight into the elevator shaft.

"Mr. Mori, what are you going to do?"

Officer Takagi peered over and saw Kogoro Mouri clinging to the ladder on the side of the elevator shaft.

"Of course we'll climb up!"

"There's a backup elevator on the 45th floor; that one shouldn't have exploded."

"."

"Then... I'll go with you."

Takagi rolled up his sleeves and followed.

The other police officers gaped, unsure of what to say.

45th floor
Even rock climbers can't climb mountains.

"That's quite courageous!"

Natsukawa still admires Kogoro Mouri.

Although he often fights Conan, he's the first to step forward in times like these.

"Are you guys okay?"

Through a phone call, Natsukawa contacted Ai Haibara at the observation deck.

"Yes, it's very quiet here."

The door to the mother and baby room opened a crack, and Ai Haibara warily looked around.

"But Conan is no longer here."

A cool breeze blew by.

Ai Haibara suddenly paused for a moment.

The viewing platform is surrounded by glass, so there is no cool air except from the air conditioner, and the elevator shaft is still emitting heat.

Due to the elevator explosion, the circuit was broken, plunging Tokyo Tower into complete darkness.

Ai Haibara, holding Anya's right hand, cautiously walked outside.

"Conan must have gone out through that door, right?"

Anya quickly discovered the source of the wind.

Unfortunately, even after activating her superpowers, she didn't sense the presence of Conan or Kosuke Mizutani.

It must be because the distance is too far.

"Did it get to the very top?"

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes, went through his thoughts, and roughly sorted out his ideas.

Kosuke Mizutani had planned everything in advance; Shindo Kei's situation was merely an unexpected turn of events.

Therefore, he must have planted the explosives here in advance.

After returning to Tokyo from Ayase City, the first place I went was Tokyo Tower.

The security checks in Tokyo are really frustrating.

Explosives were somehow allowed to be brought into Tokyo Tower.

The inspection equipment downstairs is completely out of control.
"what"

"what happened?"
