Chapter 296
"Hehe, they actually locked two police officers in the elevator; let me hear what they are saying..."
He puts on headphones and listens to the sound coming from the bug installed on the elevator.
"Huh? Kissing?"
The criminal is stunned.
These two are kissing in an elevator with a bomb?
How big must their hearts be!
"Bastard, I'll let you kiss!"
The criminal presses the button, remotely controlling the second bomb that can snap the elevator cables.
After waiting for a while, there is no movement at all.
The bomb had long been thrown into the space by Akaso Kaze.
Nothing is more important than kissing Miwako.
"A, Akaso-san, let's defuse the bomb first."
Sato Miwako finally turns her head and leaves Akaso Kaze's lips.
She burrows into Akaso Kaze's arms, her little face flushed.
Fortunately, there is no light in the elevator, or she would die of embarrassment.
Just as she is thinking this, it gets brighter and brighter in front of her.
Turning her head to look, the little Snow Maiden has flown to the side and is throwing snowflakes at her face.
"It, how did it come down?"
Sato Miwako asks with a blushing face.
"Of course, it's to defuse the bomb."
Akaso Kaze points to his side.
Sato Miwako's little mouth opens in surprise again.
A huge bomb is descending steadily, suspended in the air under the light of the Snow Maiden.
"This, what is going on?"
Akaso Kaze smiles and touches Miwako's little head.
"I am the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo, how could I be undeserving of the name?"
"Look, there is a bug on the side of this bomb; the criminal must be hiding under the tower eavesdropping."
"This criminal is actually a cowardly guy who only dares to play tricks in the dark; if he met the police face to face, he might be scared to death."
"Bastard! Bastard!"
The criminal who is eavesdropping is almost blown up with anger.
He tremblingly presses the remote control, and only manages to hold back with difficulty.
"Kid, you've angered me. Since that's the case, let me see what you're capable of."
The criminal sneers and presses the timer start switch...
In the elevator, Sato Miwako looks at the bomb with the timer started, her expression grave.
"The mercury switch mechanism of this bomb has been activated."
"That is to say, as long as my movements are a little too big, the vibration will trigger the mechanism, and this bomb will explode directly!"
"And, with the power of this bomb, at that time, not only us two, but even this Toto Tower will be blown into ruins!"
"That's right, so Miwako, you must not move around."
Akaso Kaze hugs Sato Miwako from behind, letting her press against him.
"Akaso-san, don't be like this, I, I still have to defuse the bomb..."
Sato Miwako twists her waist tremblingly.
Akaso Kaze is not worried at all.
In fact, Sato Miwako saw the bomb through the Eye of Space.
The bomb in front of them had long been in Akaso Kaze's soul space.
It is just still connected to the outside communication, which can be interrupted by intent at any time.
Even if it explodes, it will only be in the soul space and will have no effect on the outside world at all.
"Hum!"
A TV station helicopter flies over Tokyo Tower.
0. Under the tower, the TV host is broadcasting live.
"There is less than 20 minutes left until the explosion time warned by the criminal, and the two people with the bomb have not been rescued yet."
"The police have evacuated the Toto Tower and the surrounding crowd. Time passes second by second; what will be the fate of those two people? Will they be destroyed along with the symbol of Tokyo?"
On the other side, Conan's eyes suddenly light up, and he thinks of something.
"That's right, the second bomb must be in the school!"
He takes out his phone and hurriedly calls Inspector Megure.
Conan uses a voice changer to disguise his voice as Mouri Kogoro's.
"Hello, Inspector Megure? This is Mouri. I have cracked the location of the second bomb; it must be in the school. It's currently the holiday season, so there aren't many schools with classes. Arrange for police officers to search all the schools that are open immediately; you will definitely be able to find it."
Conan feels refreshed after finishing his speech in one breath.
It's been a long time since he felt this way; ever since he met Akaso Kaze, he has never felt this good.
The other side is silent for a while, and Inspector Megure's somewhat helpless voice rings out.
"I say, Brother Mouri, you called too late. Lord Akaso already sent me a text message; the bomb is at Teitan High School, and it has already been handled by him. He even left us a plan to arrest the criminal..."
Conan's head is buzzing.
I really shouldn't have had any expectations.
The case was indeed solved by Akaso Kaze again.
He not only deduced that the criminal's second target was a school, but also deduced the exact location, Teitan High School.
Most importantly, he actually handled the bombs.
He even formulated a plan for the police to arrest the criminal.
This is simply a one-stop service.
Why am I so far behind him?
This is just too un-Conan-like!
In the elevator of Tokyo Tower, enduring Akaso Kaze's intrusion, Sato Miwako uses a screwdriver to pry open the bomb casing and removes the bomb's mercury switch mechanism.
She just breathes a sigh of relief and reaches out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead when her body suddenly tenses up again.
"A, Akaso-san, what exactly are you doing? Now is not the right time, wait until it's over and I'll give it to you, okay..."
Sato Miwako grabs Akaso Kaze's hand tightly, panting heavily.
Her legs are weak; if Akaso Kaze weren't supporting her waist, she would have sat on the floor long ago.
"Everything you're doing now is useless."
Akaso Kaze says in her ear: "Look, words are starting to appear on the bomb."
Sato Miwako looks down and her whole body suddenly turns cold.
The LCD screen flickers twice, and a line of text scrolls slowly across it.
"I really must praise your courage in the face of adversity. After this game ends, there will be a large-scale firework show. You will see my hint 3 seconds before the explosion. I wish you success in advance."
Sato Miwako suddenly sheds tears silently.
The bombing case from three years ago is exactly the same as the current situation.
That bomb maniac also mentioned information related to the second hidden bomb in the warning letter, just like today.
It was because of this sentence that Matsuda Jinpei chose to sacrifice himself.
Sato Miwako suddenly drops her tools and turns to hug Akaso Kaze.
She whispers in the man's ear: "Take me, Akaso-san."
Sato Miwako has already made up her mind.
She will let Akaso Kaze leave later, and she will wait until the very last moment alone.
With only three seconds, even an Onmyoji wouldn't have time to evacuate.
