Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

At this moment, Teiji Moriya laughed smugly, "If you think this matter is over, you are being too naive!"

Hearing Moriya Teiji's words, Haibara Ai suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "There's another asymmetrical building, the Beika City Hall!"

Teiji Moriya gave Ai Haibara a look of admiration, then said angrily, "That's right, it's the worst work of my life! You people don't understand my aesthetics at all!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold and broke out in a cold sweat, because Ran had told him that he would be watching a movie with Sonoko at the movie theater in the Beika City Hall tonight.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed Xiaolan's number. As soon as the call connected, he shouted urgently, "Lan, get out of the Mikasa City Hall immediately!!"

Chapter 96 The Heartbreaking Garden

Moriya Teiji glanced at his watch and chuckled, "It's no use, there are only a few seconds left until eight o'clock."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kogoro Mouri heard an explosion and screams coming from the other end of the line.

Kogoro Mouri was extremely anxious. "Ran, are you alright? Answer me quickly, Ran!"

However, there was no response from the other end of the phone.

"Damn it! What exactly do you want to do to Lan, you bastard?"

Kogoro Mouri threw down his phone, rushed up to Teiji Moriya, grabbed him by the collar, and roared.

Teiji Moriya smiled and said, "I've only blocked the entrances and emergency exits of the hall. The real excitement is yet to come."

Kogoro Mouri could no longer hold back and raised his fist to punch Teiji Moriya, but was pulled away by two policemen.

Moriya Teiji raised his hands and straightened his disheveled collar.

The next second, a fist appeared in front of him.

Kitagawa Taki knocked Moriya Teiji to the ground with a single punch, knocking out half of his teeth.

Teiji Moriya spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his teeth, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "Miss Mori is also your friend, right? Ah? Mr. Kitagawa?"

"By the way, she was shopping with another girl this afternoon! They're going to see a movie together tonight. I wonder if Mr. Kitagawa knows that girl?" Moriya Teiji deliberately provoked.

Teiji Moriya followed Sonoko and Ran and learned that the two were going to see a movie at the Beika City Hall.

'Another girl?'

Without even a second thought, it must be the garden.

Kitagawa Taki had already sentenced Moriya Teiji to death in his heart, so he ignored him and rushed to his car. Haibara Ai followed, and the two of them quickly headed to the Beika City Hall.

Seeing Kitagawa Taki's anxious appearance, Moriya Teiji felt the pain on his face lessen considerably.

As the others prepared to follow, Moriya Teiji spoke up again, "Please tell Kudo Shinichi that I've given him three minutes to savor the experience."

Conan glared at Teiji Moriya. Although he still didn't understand why this guy hated him so much, he knew that Ran was implicated because of him.

'Xiaolan, please don't let anything happen to you!'

Conan ran into a police car, and the others followed suit, including Teiji Moriya.

the other side.

Inside the Kitagawa Taki train car.

He received a call from Sonoko.

"Taki...something's happened...Ran seems to be buried inside...please save her!" Sonoko sobbed uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this news, Kitagawa Taki breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't at the center of the explosion, the Golden Light Talisman would be enough to protect them.

"I know, I'm coming right away! Have you forgotten the talisman I gave you? Ran will be alright, Sonoko, what about you? Are you alright?"

Sonoko suddenly remembered the charm Kitagawa Taki had given her, and her heart skipped a beat.

"I...I'm fine...I'm already outside...Ran saved me..." Sonoko felt a pang of pain in her heart as she thought about what had just happened.

……

Let's rewind a few minutes.

After finishing their dinner, Sonoko and Ran went to the movie theater on the fifth floor of the Beika Municipal Building.

Just as the two reached the entrance of the hall, Ran received a call from Kogoro Mouri.

Before she could even process what Kogoro Mouri meant, a violent explosion erupted above their heads.

As Xiaolan watched the ruins crash down, she used all her strength to push the garden out of the way.

But this left Xiaolan with no chance to escape, and her right hand unconsciously reached up to her head.

There was no pain as expected. Xiaolan saw a pale golden barrier open in front of her, blocking the rubble, which then fell to her side.

Xiaolan remembered that this was a talisman given to her by Kitagawa Taki, and quickly ran into the hall, whereupon the barrier shattered.

Just as one problem was resolved, another arose. Xiao Lan had just arrived in the hall when another explosion occurred at the nearby escape exit. The shockwave of the explosion was blocked by yet another golden talisman.

The two explosions caused dust to fill the entire hall, and the only two exits were blocked by rubble.

Xiaolan was completely trapped in the lobby on the fifth floor.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the garden, which was pushed out of the gate by Xiaolan, fell to the ground, and countless pebbles fell in front of her.

"orchid!!"

Watching helplessly as Ran was "buried," Sonoko couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, the Spirit Heart Talisman came into play, allowing the garden to recover somewhat.

She got up and ran downstairs, knowing full well that staying here wouldn't save Xiaolan.

Once downstairs, Sonoko immediately called Kitagawa Taki; he was the first person she thought of.

After hanging up the phone, Sonoko stared blankly at the building, praying in her heart that Ran would be alright.

……

Kitagawa Taki sped along at breakneck speed.

On the way, he asked Ai Haibara to call Ran, but the call went unanswered.

What he didn't know was that Xiaolan's phone was lost in the explosion.

The two arrived at the municipal building in just a few minutes.

The area below the building was crowded with stranded people, and many were helping the injured to leave.

Kitagawa Taki rushed to the gate and saw the garden covered in dust.

“Sonoko!” Kitagawa Taki shouted.

"Taki!" Sonoko saw Kitagawa Taki and threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face again.

"It's alright now."

Ignoring Ai Haibara behind him, Kitagawa Taki hugged Sonoko and gently patted her back.

Sonoko released Kitagawa Taki, wiped away her tears, and said, "Taki, Ran is on the fifth floor!"

"I see."

Kitagawa Taki gave Haibara Ai a look, signaling her to take care of Sonoko.

He then rushed against the flow of people into the lobby on the first floor, found the stairs, and ran up as fast as he could.

But less than two minutes after Kitagawa Taki entered, violent explosions occurred on the first, second, third, and fourth floors.

The lower floors of the entire building went dark instantly.

"Taki!" Sonoko exclaimed, and her body began to move.

Ai Haibara stood in front of her.

"Trust him, he'll be fine. Going in now won't do any good!" Haibara said urgently.

Although she was somewhat worried about Kitagawa Taki, as she said, there was nothing they could do to help.

At this moment, Conan and his friends arrived at the scene, followed by fire trucks and ambulances.

Kogoro Mori rushed toward the building calling Ran's name, but was stopped by Inspector Megure and several other police officers.

At this time, even the first floor of the municipal building was piled with rubble.

Kogoro Mori asked hoarsely, "Inspector, when will the rescue team arrive?"

"Mouri, calm down, the rescue team has arrived!" Inspector Megure pointed to the firefighters.

Meanwhile, Conan, unnoticed by anyone, had already rushed into the building.

Moriya Teiji got out of the police car. The right half of his face was completely swollen, but he didn't care. Instead, he looked at his masterpiece with a smug look.

Chapter 97 Xiao Lan's Psychological Defenses Collapse

Kitagawa Taki ran all the way to the fifth floor, but the escape route was blocked by cement blocks.

Just as he was about to move the obstructions aside, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out, accompanied by the rumble of a building collapsing.

Kitagawa Taki felt the entire floor shaking, and dust filled the hallway.

After the explosion, he found that the stairwell below was blocked by rubble, clearly indicating that Teiji Moriya intended to completely block the way from the first floor to the fifth floor.

Judging from the appearance, if every floor is like this, it would be very difficult to return the way we came.

However, the immediate priority is to get into the cinema lobby, and fortunately there isn't much rubble on the fifth floor.

Kitagawa Taki crouched down, placed his hands on the ground, and used his ground spike technique to separate the rubble in front of the fire door of the escape route. Then, he moved away the few rubble pieces that were still blocking the door.

After clearing away the rubble blocking the way, the fire door was revealed, but it looked severely deformed.

Kitagawa Taki tried several times, but couldn't open it at all.

Having no other choice, he had to resort to force, hoping it wouldn't collapse.

Kitagawa Taki took a few steps back, took a deep breath, gathered all his strength in his feet, and then suddenly leaped forward and kicked the fire door.

With a loud "bang," the kick was powerful, but the door wasn't kicked open. However, the dull thud drew the attention of the people in the movie theater lobby.

Xiaolan, who was comforting a girl, also heard the commotion outside the door. "Someone must be coming to rescue us!"

Everyone else looked toward the fire door.
