Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

When the Osaka Prefectural Police received the arrogantly worded bomb threat, Nichiri TV was instantly thrown into panic.

A piercing alarm blared in the studio, and the hoarse voice of the staff broadcasted, "Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!" over and over again.

Guests and staff jostled and pushed, scrambling to reach each safety exit.

The sound of high heels breaking, the dull thud of a handbag falling to the ground, and an uncontrollable scream all mingled together.

Some people stumbled and fell in the chaos, but were immediately helped up by the surging crowd behind them, and could only continue to run forward, tumbling and crawling.

"Report, there are still three people in the studio." A staff member directing the evacuation on site reported urgently into the walkie-talkie.

The Osaka Prefectural Police officer who arrived to oversee the operation nodded gravely. "Now, go and check for any suspicious items inside. Be careful!"

"Yes, sir!" Upon receiving the order, the bomb disposal team members, fully armed and with solemn expressions, rushed into the perilous building.

On the street opposite the TV station building, Zheng Yi looked out of place.

Unlike the others who panicked, he leisurely set up a high-powered telescope and carefully observed the rooftop.

"Why did you bring binoculars?" Hongye finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked with a frown.

In her opinion, taking out binoculars in this situation was really inappropriate.

"For convenience when looking at things," Zheng Yi replied matter-of-factly.

"Is it convenient to see things?" Hongye was even more puzzled.

She looked at Zheng Yi suspiciously, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of accusation:

"I've heard that some criminals go back to the crime scene to admire their 'masterpiece'."

And to get a clearer view, they'll prepare some equipment in advance, like... binoculars or something.

Zheng Yi impatiently put down his binoculars, glanced at Hongye, and uttered three words indifferently: "You talk too much."

After saying that, he casually raised his hand and pointed in another direction: "Look, there are people using binoculars over there too. Using binoculars is a very normal thing."

Hongye looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a man wearing a baseball cap looking up at the building through binoculars.

However, the man seemed to realize that someone was watching him, and immediately put down his binoculars guiltily.

Just as Hongye was about to say something more, Zhengyi took out a lollipop from his pocket and casually tossed it to her.

"Eat your candy quietly and don't bother me," he said calmly.

Looking at the cheap lollipop in her hand, Hongye felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Do you think she's a child?
She could barely maintain her elegant demeanor as a lady of high society.

Finally, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger, and silently handed the lollipop to Ai standing to the side.

"boom--!"

At exactly 13:00, the anticipated disaster finally struck.

A muffled but enormous explosion came from inside the television station, followed by the crashing sound of glass shattering from the shockwave.

Floor-to-ceiling windows shattered into countless fragments in an instant, and the building's load-bearing walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks at a visible speed. Heavy light fixtures on the ceiling fell one after another.

It crashed to the ground, sending sparks flying and instantly igniting the surrounding flammable materials, causing multiple fires to erupt.

Because one of their classmates had to go to the lobby to protect the song list, they missed their chance to leave.

To protect Kazuha Toyama, Heiji Hattori and Kazuha were surrounded by thick smoke and trapped on the roof of a building.

At the critical moment, a small figure on a skateboard rushed through the sea of ​​fire.

Conan seized the opportunity and used his power-enhancing shoes to kick a soccer ball, which accurately struck the crossbar joint that was pinning Heiji down.

The beam shifted under the force, allowing Heiji to finally escape. "Conan?" Both Kazuha and Heiji wore expressions of disbelief.

They never expected that the person who came to their rescue would be this elementary school student.

This scene was also witnessed by Zheng Yi on the rooftop of the opposite building.

He decisively put down the binoculars and picked up another high-definition camera, steadily aiming the lens at the three people on the rooftop.

Hongye's eyelids twitched suddenly.

You've gone a bit too far!

At most, criminals would sneak back to the scene to admire their masterpieces, but you, on the other hand, openly and brazenly record your criminal masterpieces with a camera.

This is far too blatant!
Not far away, the man with the binoculars also looked at Zheng Yi's actions with surprise, his eyes filled with incomprehension and vigilance.

Is this even more complete than his equipment?
On the rooftop, the fire was growing larger and larger, and there was no time left to explain to Conan and Heiji.

The two exchanged a glance and began a tacit cooperation that required no words.

They quickly and firmly tied a sturdy, retractable strap to a still-intact concrete pillar.

Heiji took off his hat and gently placed it on Kazuha's head, shielding her from some of the falling dust and sparks.

Then, with a swift turn, he steadily hoisted He Ye onto his shoulder.

"Be quiet, hold me tight," Heiji whispered.

He gripped the retractable straps tightly, without offering any courtesy, and hurriedly said to Conan, "Sorry, I'll go downstairs and wait for you."

Conan nodded.

The next second, Heiji, carrying Kazuha, nimbly slid down the burning wall along the retractable straps.

Right after Heiji escaped danger, a huge concrete pillar collapsed from the spot where he had just been standing.

At this moment, Conan was trapped on the rooftop by the increasingly large fire.

The thick smoke made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

He rode his skateboard up the curved surface of the satellite signal receiver, using its curvature as a centrifugal acceleration track, and glided at high speed along the curved surface.

The enormous centrifugal force provides sufficient initial velocity.

The moment he flew off the end of the antenna, the retractable harness unfolded in the air, helping him maintain his balance and cushioning his fall, preventing him from rolling uncontrollably.

On the ground, Heiji had just put Kazuha down when he immediately began to predict Conan's landing point.

His gaze was fixed on the river area across the standard two-way four-lane road.

Without the slightest hesitation, he mounted his motorcycle parked by the roadside and quickly moved to the optimal rendezvous point he had calculated.

When Conan fell from the sky, Heiji caught him precisely.

Due to the immense inertia, the two were swept into the river together.

The icy river water instantly enveloped them, cushioning the enormous impact of their fall from the sky.

Zheng Yi recorded the entire process.

He put down the camera, looked at the frozen image on the screen, and smiled with satisfaction: "This could be made into a movie."

He's already planning to release the video later to generate buzz, which will definitely go viral nationwide.

The sheer tension and visual impact are far more thrilling than any big-budget American blockbuster. (End of Chapter)
