Chapter 100

It seemed he was looking for evidence related to the Black Organization.

Was it to prevent the automatic sprinkler system from working?

Or was there some other purpose?

Sonoko sighed in relief and said:

"Luckily this elevator uses a different power source, otherwise if we had to walk down the stairs, we’d be exhausted!"

Conan looked at Sonoko’s face and suddenly discovered a red dot on her forehead.

"!!!"

Conan’s pupils shrank instantly.

He immediately activated the video function on his glasses.

And followed the direction from which the red dot was shining.

He looked at the roof of the building opposite.

He tapped the button on the side of his glasses to zoom in on the screen.

He saw that the killer displayed on the glasses screen was Gin.

He was holding a sniper rifle and aiming in Sonoko Suzuki’s direction.

Just as Gin’s lips curled into a slight smirk.

His index finger was about to pull the trigger of the sniper rifle.

Conan turned around in a panic and shouted loudly at Sonoko Suzuki:

"Sister Sonoko, your underwear is showing!"

Sonoko heard this and immediately looked down:

"Huh? Ah!"

Her cheeks showed an extremely embarrassed expression.

Time ticked by second by second.

The elevator continued to operate as usual.

"What is it! How can you, a child, make jokes about adults? Especially when there are outsiders present."

Sonoko Suzuki pulled at her dress in a flustered manner.

She found that there was no exposure at all.

"Alright, Sonoko, don't be angry, Conan was just being a bit naughty!"

Ran Mouri comforted her best friend from the side.

"I think you should stay away from him from now on, Ran!"

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Conan sideways.

Her face full of disgust.

"It's not that bad..."

Ran Mouri smiled awkwardly...

The conversation between the best friends was also very relaxed.

The others in the elevator also had expressions of watching a show.

There were no injured people in the elevator.

The glass cover of the observation elevator was also intact.

Conan was puzzled.

Then he opened his glasses.

He pressed against the glass cover of the observation elevator.

And looked at the roof of the opposite building again.

What he didn't expect was!

Gin on the opposite building was scurrying around!

He seemed to be dodging one gunshot after another.

The shooter was coming from their building.

The sniper rifle that was originally intended to snipe Sonoko Suzuki had been shattered.

On the screen in Conan’s glasses.

He saw that the moment Gin bent down to dodge.

His black hat was blown away.

That messy silver hair swayed wildly in the breeze.

What should have been an elegant and cold posture had now become so disheveled.

"!!?"

Conan was stunned.

His head was full of question marks.

"Could it be!?"

He suddenly thought of something.

He immediately turned his head to look at Ran Mouri.

"Sister Ran! Where did Brother Hoshino go?"

Ran Mouri’s blue pupils shrank after hearing Conan’s question.

Her body, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

She clenched her fists and held them in front of her chest.

"Hoshino Ki!! I haven't seen him since just now!"

"He disappeared when everyone was guessing the numbers!"

In Ran Mouri’s chest.

It was as if a fierce "time bomb" had been placed.

It was beating violently at this moment!

Sonoko Suzuki understood the meaning of their conversation.

So she came to Conan and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong? Did he encounter some danger?"

"......"

Conan was so scared by Sonoko Suzuki that he backed away repeatedly.

Until he was forced against the glass wall of the observation deck.

"No... nothing? I don't know either..."

Sweat dripped from Conan’s forehead.

He smiled very forcedly.

Just then!

The elevator arrived safely at the first floor.

Everyone walked out of the elevator.

Conan rushed out of the elevator first.

He ran around looking for him.

The anxiety and panic in his eyes were all seen by Ran Mouri.

"Uncle Mouri! Have you seen Brother Hoshino?"

"Huh? No, I haven't?"

Kogoro Mouri and Officer Megure’s group had come down to the first floor through another passage.

By logic, Hoshino Ki should have been among this group.

But he had searched the entire area and hadn't seen Hoshino Ki.

From this, it was clear.

Hoshino Ki was indeed still upstairs.

The person who sniped Gin must be him.

"Uncle Mouri! Brother Hoshino is still upstairs! Hurry and save him!"

Conan pulled on Kogoro Mouri’s pant leg and shouted anxiously.

"What?!! That brat!"

Kogoro Mouri looked up at the high floors of the skyscraper.

He saw the fire was fierce.

And it was still spreading.

Conan looked around anxiously.

With his small stature now.

Even if he went back to the skyscraper, he couldn't help much.

Not to mention that the whole building was now engulfed in fierce fire.

The observation elevator had been burned and was no longer operational.

As an ordinary person, it was impossible to go up.

To go up, one could only reach the 60th floor via the elevator of the other building.

And then use the connecting bridge between the two buildings.

To reach the same floor.

But that was too risky.

The fire could swallow the whole building at any time.

"The children are gone!"

Professor Agasa’s anxious voice came from not far away.

He was also searching everywhere for the Detective Boys.

Conan ran to Professor Agasa’s side.

His eyes were full of panic:

"What? Didn't they come down before us?"

Professor Agasa was also full of panic.

He looked at Conan with a lost expression:

"That's right... but I haven't seen them come down!!"

"Damn it!!"

Conan clenched his fists.

He looked up at the two tall skyscrapers in front of him.

"Conan..."

"You were staring at the building opposite just now, right?"

"I saw a red dot appear on Sonoko’s head just now..."

"If that wasn't a child’s prank..."

"That means there’s a killer on the opposite side, right?"

Suddenly!

Ran Mouri’s voice came from behind Conan.

"What?!"

Conan turned around and looked at Ran Mouri in disbelief.

"Although I don't know what happened, you must have guessed it, right..."

"He was the one who protected us just now, right?"

"Otherwise you wouldn't be looking for him everywhere."

"Yeah..."

Conan lowered his head.

A sense of powerlessness rose in his chest.

"Do you trust Hoshino Ki?"

Ran Mouri squatted down.

Her eyes were level with Conan’s.

"You guessed it too, right? That person is Hoshino Ki, he was protecting us."

"Yeah..."

Conan was forced to look at Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri’s deep blue eyes were so bright and gentle.

In Conan’s eyes.

Ran Mouri seemed to have changed quietly in some way.

At this very moment.

Or perhaps even earlier than this moment.

"Ah! Hoshino Ki is still upstairs? What should we do?"

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly appeared behind the two.

She looked horrified.

Her originally rosy complexion had now turned pale as paper.

She stood there like a wife who had lost her husband, not knowing what to do.

So she could only clench her fists anxiously.

And look up at the skyscraper in front of her in prayer.

"Conan, since he could save us."

"He must be able to save others too, trust him!"

Ran Mouri looked at Conan.

Saying every word she thought in her heart.

"Sister Ran!!"

Conan raised his head.
