Chapter 261

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 that the fire was fierce

and was still spreading continuously.

Conan looked around anxiously.

With his current small stature,

even if he returned to the skyscraper, he wouldn't be able to help.

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

The observation elevator had been burned and could not operate.

As an ordinary person, he couldn't get up at all.

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

and then pass through the connecting bridge between the two buildings

to reach the same floor.

But doing that was too risky.

The fire could swallow the entire 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,

his eyes full of panic:

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

Professor Agasa was also full of panic.

He looked at Conan with a helpless expression:

"That's right.... but I didn't see them come down!!"

"Damn it!!"

Conan clenched his fists,

looking 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 was 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 rising in his chest.

"Do you believe in Hoshino-kun?"

Ran Mouri squatted down,

her gaze level with Conan's.

"You guessed it too, right? That person is Hoshino-kun, he is 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,

it seemed that something about Ran Mouri had quietly changed.

At this very moment,

or perhaps even earlier than this moment.

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

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly appeared behind the two.

She was shocked and pale.

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,

looking up at the skyscraper in front of her in prayer.

"Conan, since he could save us,"

"he must be able to save others, believe in him!"

Ran Mouri looked at Conan,

saying every word of what she thought in her heart.

"Sister Ran!!"

Conan raised his head.
