Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

After answering the hacker's question, the wise man asked Kaito Kid again:

"Kuroba Kaito, how many mechanical locks are left?"

"There's only one left! If I open it, you'll take the micro-bomb out of my neck and set me free, right?"

Kaito Kidd suddenly questioned the wise man.

"That's Boss Chen's business. Go ask him. This is the first lesson I'm teaching you - don't have any strange expectations of me! Remember to notify me after you open the last mechanical lock!"

After the wise man gave his final instructions to Kaito Kidd, he turned around and walked into the elevator to the top of the building.

Noticing the wise man leaving the banquet hall, Edogawa Conan, who was lying on the ground, immediately raised his head and looked at the mercenary guarding the door beside him.

——While their boss is away, get rid of one first!

Edogawa Conan slowly stood up, first turned the knob on his foot-strengthening shoes, stimulating the acupuncture points on the feet through electricity and magnetism to exert the muscle strength to the limit, then pressed the button on his belt to shoot out a football, and finally aimed at the mercenary near the door and kicked the football with a big kick.

"I caught the little girl who ran away."

A mercenary wearing sunglasses suddenly dragged the tied-up Inoue Takina and pushed open the door.

The football kicked by Edogawa Conan hit the open door, and after kicking the door so hard that it was severely deformed, it bounced back and hit Edogawa Conan himself in the face.

"What happened just now?"

The mercenary guarding the door asked the mercenary who pushed the door open.

"I don't know. The door seems to be deformed."

The mercenary wearing sunglasses shook his head as he looked at the severely deformed door.

"Hey! Look!"

The mercenary guarding the door pointed at Conan Edogawa on the other side of the gate and said:

"The kid passed out on his own."

"I don't know what happened, but I'm really lucky. Anyway, let's tie this kid up with tape and then find a place to lock him up."

The mercenary wearing sunglasses immediately suggested.

"Okay! I'll get the tape!"

The mercenary guarding the door turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!"

The mercenary on the other side quickly called him over, raised Inoue Takina in his hand and asked him:

"So what's to be done with this little girl?"

"Leave her to me. I'll take her to where the other little girl in the red evening gown is being held."

The mercenary said as he took Inoue Takina from the other man.

It was not until this time that the mercenary wearing sunglasses finally made time to carefully observe the other mercenaries in the banquet hall.

——Two people were guarding the elevator door, two were guarding directly opposite the elevator, and two were patrolling the venue.

After getting rid of another group of mercenaries who came to hunt down Inoue Takina, Nan Tianren decided to use Inoue Takina as bait, taking advantage of the information gap that the other party was unaware of his existence, put on their clothes, disguised as a member of this group of mercenaries, and sneaked into the banquet hall where the hostages were held.

Since Nan Tianren chose to take action after hearing the wise man taking the elevator to leave the banquet hall, the timing coincided with the time when Edogawa Conan started to act, so by accident, Edogawa Conan was eventually knocked unconscious by the football he kicked.

The mercenary took Inoue Takina, who pretended to be tied up, and walked towards the inner room behind the podium in the banquet hall - that was where Nishiki Chitsuka was imprisoned. Minami Tenjin, who was pretending to be a mercenary, naturally continued to guard the door in his place.

After the mercenary took Inoue Takina into the inner room, Inoue Takina immediately broke free from the restraints, reached out to grab the other's arm, clamped the other's head with her legs, twisted her body, and used her weight to throw the other person to the ground.

"Qianshu! Wake up! Qianshu!"

After knocking the mercenary unconscious, Inoue Takina quickly ran to Nishiki Chitose and untied the restraints on her.

Noticing the noise coming from the inner room, two mercenaries patrolling the banquet hall immediately walked towards the inner room.

However, at the moment when the two of them pushed open the door, Nan Tianren, who was guarding the entrance of the banquet hall, suddenly jumped up, raised his assault rifle and instantly killed the two mercenaries guarding the elevator entrance. Then he stepped on the wall, turned around, lay on the ground, and killed the two mercenaries opposite the elevator.

Soon, Chitose Nishiki and Takino Inoue also came out from the inner room with two mercenaries who were knocked unconscious by rubber bullets.

"Huh? Rubber bullets? Isn't your secret burial department supposed to prevent crimes from happening? Wouldn't you shoot suspects dead before they commit crimes?"

Nan Tianren felt somewhat confused when he saw the two mercenaries who were merely knocked unconscious instead of killed.

"Life is precious!"

Jinmu Chitose replied to Nan Tianren.

"Even if it's from the enemy?"

Nan Tianren raised his head and looked at Nishiki Chitsugu.

"Even the enemies!"

Nishiki Chitsuka said firmly:

"Although I am an agent of the Secret Burial Division, I want to do a job that helps others, just like the people who saved me before. On the contrary, you, Mr. Nan Tianren, are you going to kill them now?"

"Me? Why? Do I have any reason to kill them?"

Nan Tianren asked back towards Jinmu Qianshu.

"But...whether it was the mercenaries in the banquet hall, the mercenaries sent to capture Inoue Takina, or the mercenaries sent to assassinate Kurumi, they were all killed by you..."

Nishiki Chitsugu's hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

"Oh, you mean them? I'm just afraid of trouble. It's hard to control the strength of knocking them out without killing them. Besides, I don't have any reason to keep them alive, so it would be easier to just kill them all."

Nan Tianren replied with a shrug.

"'Afraid of trouble'? 'It's easier'? Is this the reason you killed so many people?!"

Edogawa Conan, who was awakened by the gunshot, stood up after hearing what Nan Tianren said and questioned the other party in a slightly angry voice.

"Well, yes, that's it."

Nan Tianren nodded as a matter of course towards Edogawa Conan.

"What's the difference between you and a murderer?!"

Edogawa Conan continued to roar and question Nan Tianren.

"I saved you from those terrorists, I saved all of you, that's the difference!"

Nan Tian said righteously:

"Edogawa Conan, there are many people in this world who can blame me, my fellow terrorists, the families and friends of those I killed, and the ordinary people who were too well protected by the government and have not experienced terrorist attacks. They all have the right to blame me, but not you, the only one who was saved from the hands of terrorists by me! You! Have no right to tell me that killing is wrong!"

"But you clearly have the ability to catch them without killing them! They should be brought to justice! Instead of being killed by you directly!"

Edogawa Conan argued.

"Yes, I do have the ability, but why would I do that? Like I just said, there is no reason why I must not kill them."

"You don't need a reason to save someone!"

"There's no need for a reason to kill someone!"

“Don’t you need it?!”

"do you need?"

"Don't you need it?"

"Why are you so serious?"

"but……"

Edogawa Conan was choked by Nan Tianren's momentum and couldn't think of any words to fight back.

After all, this is not the world of "Detective Conan" which is based on reasoning, but the world of anime which is based on passionate battles.

Conan Edogawa is now like a detective who has strayed into the world of tough-guy reasoning. Facing terrorists who are even more ruthless than the Black Organization, everything he has experienced in the past seems so pale and powerless at this moment.

You know, in the world of anime, the number one detective is Batman.

Batman's principle of not killing is based on his fighting ability that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Even if he does not kill the opponent, he can easily capture and bring to justice super criminals such as the Joker, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Clayface, Killer Croc, Swamp Thing, Doctor Phosphorus, etc.

However, Conan Edogawa is just an ordinary first-grade student who can be knocked unconscious by the football he kicked.

"Okay, kid, I have something urgent to do. I can't keep talking to you here."

Nan Tianren patted Edogawa Conan on the shoulder, turned around and instructed Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina:

"You two stay here to protect the hostages. The leader of this terrorist group has gone to the rooftop. I have to go up there to see what he wants to do!"

Before leaving, Nan Tianren changed back into his bulletproof windbreaker and glanced at Sanhua Reiya out of the corner of his eye. Although he had asked her to train with the Cleaners, if possible, he still didn't want her to directly participate in the battle for safety reasons.

In order to prevent himself from being attacked by terrorists on the rooftop as soon as he went up, Nan Tianren did not choose the elevator, which had a small space, no way to retreat, and would easily attract the enemy's attention. Instead, he decided to take the stairs to the roof.

At this moment, on the rooftop, the wise man is preparing for his final escape - he is installing a bomb on the roof.

At the moment when Nan Tianren walked up the stairs to the rooftop, the wise man had just finished installing the bomb on the top of the staircase and landed back on the rooftop.

Looking at Nan Tianren who suddenly appeared here with an assault rifle in his hand, the wise man was very sure that this person was not among the mercenaries he recruited, and the other party was obviously not one of the hostages.

So, instead of wearing the same clothes as ordinary terrorists, the wise man in a suit and tie immediately decided to disguise himself as a foreign employee of the Tokiwa Group.

"Oh my God! You are one of them! Are you? Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me!"

The wise man pretended to be panicked.

"Relax! I won't hurt you, I'm not part of the terrorist group!"

Although Nan Tianren was a little confused, he felt that there shouldn't be such an old man among the terrorists. Besides, the terrorists were all locals from Japan, while this old man was Caucasian and was likely a foreign employee of the Tokiwa Group, so he decided to trust him first:

"What are you doing up here? What are you looking for?"

"I'm a counselor here. I managed to escape and made it to the rooftop to see if I could send out a distress signal."

The wise man then lied.

"Really? Do you smoke?"

Nan Tianren suddenly took out a box of cigarettes with a Tai Chi pattern printed on it from his pocket.

"smoke."

The wise man nodded, took the cigarette from Nan Tianren, and asked him:

"You're not an employee of the Tokiwa Group, are you? I've been working here for several years and I've never seen you before."
