Chapter 366: Countdown to Heaven
"Come on, come on, it's time for every theatrical version of the must-have project, give Conan a background music. β
Dadada~Dada, Dada~Dadada.
"I'm a high school student detective Kudo Shinichi, and when I was playing with my childhood sweetheart Xiaolan at the amusement park again, I witnessed the suspicious transaction of the man in black, and I focused on peeking at the transaction but ignored the enemy behind the sneak attack. I was poisoned by that man, and when I woke up, I found that my voice actor had changed! If I let that group of guys know that Shinichi Kudo is still alive, then I and the people around me will be in danger, so I took the name Conan Edogawa and stayed at the house of Ran's father, Detective Kogoro Mori. The people who knew that my body was getting smaller were my parents, my good friend Dr. Asasa, and Heiji Hattori, a high school student detective in Kansai. And my classmate Ming Ya Kaoru, Gray Plains Mourning. The two of them, who were originally accomplices of the men in black, took the same medicine as me when they escaped from the organization, causing their bodies to shrink as a result. So, we came to a consensus to fight that black organization to the end when we got smaller. Some time ago, Kaoru and Gray Yuan accidentally fell into the enemy's trap, and Kaoru had to temporarily grow larger and escape, and that encounter can be said to be extremely dangerous. However, while we don't know it, the Black-Clad Order has once again revealed their minions. Suddenly, we seem to have inadvertently stepped into this relentless and terrifying whirlpool ... β
"Although the body has become smaller, the mind is still flexible. An omniscient detective, there is always only one truth!"

"Kaoru, what do you think about today?" came out of the Twin Towers. We returned to our residence, and because of the arrival of my father, Xiaolan, I got on the bus home, and Shiho followed Dr. Zhibao back, and of course the children were also sent home by Dr. Asasa. After arriving home, everyone put down their fatigue, took a good shower and rested early.
The lights went out, and Conan and I lay on our own beds, but we didn't feel sleepy at all.
"This Tokiwa consortium is not simple. I said bluntly. "Let's not talk about the machine, it's very problematic for Gin to come under the Twin Towers today. β
"Will we be exposed?" Conan warned.
"Possibly. I closed my eyes and pondered. "But at least when we came back, I didn't find out that we were being followed. β
"I don't quite understand. "Conan was puzzled by my words.
"Meaning, maybe Gin's arrival at the Petronas Twin Towers is just a coincidence, coincidentally, there are organized people in this building, and our whereabouts have not yet been revealed. However, if the building's surveillance footage is discovered by the organization... Then we are really exposed. Maybe you and I won't, but Shiho's side will definitely be recognized. β
"This... In the dimly lit room, I couldn't make out Conan's expression at all, but from this response, I seemed to be able to feel the sadness on Conan's face. "What should I do?"
"What else can I do? I've already found someone to retrieve the day's surveillance footage. I said indifferently. "Do not do things without showing your feet, or I would have died a long time ago. "Yes, when I realized that something was wrong, I had already sent a message to Ning Xue and them, asking them to recycle the day's surveillance, and of course I also told them to be careful, after all, this time they may have entered a den of thieves. To be on the safe side, I even got Xun back quickly. Now the two of them are on standby near the Twin Towers. However, it was only the surveillance footage that was recovered, and I didn't let them directly attack the Tokiwa general control room, so it's not time to startle the snake, and take back the surveillance, we can be considered a little safer. After all, on weekends, thousands or even tens of thousands of visitors come in and out in a day, and the devil knows who took the surveillance.
"Whew. Thank you for your hard work. Conan let out a long breath, which could be regarded as relaxing.
"The Tokiwa Foundation is much deeper than I expected, and the appearance of Gin today definitely means that there is something in the Twin Towers that is worthy of the attention of the organization, or simply that the organization has peripheral members working in the Twin Towers. All this is unknown and variable. Kudo, it's better for us to keep a low profile for a short time, and if we can, we still don't want to attend the opening party next week. I'll find a way to destroy something that might leave our mark as soon as possible. At worst, I'll just blow up this building in Tokiwa. β
"Are you crazy?!" Conan sat up suddenly, and the decibel level rose sharply. "There are at least hundreds of people living in it now, and at least a few thousand people after the opening, how are you going to blow it up?"
"What else do you want to do?" I glanced at Conan in disgust. "The unknown and the unpredictable are the things I fear the most, and once these things are out of my control, I will be uneasy, and I will do everything I can to get rid of this uneasy feeling. Otherwise, you're going to help me find out the members of the Tokiwa Group?"
"You!" Conan was speechless in anger, and could only lie back on the bed in hatred. "If I had to trade the lives of thousands of people for my own safety, I would rather die. β
"Idiot. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "It's okay if you're dead, but if you really reveal your whereabouts, you can calculate how many people will die because of you!"
"I... Conan was about to refute, but in the next second, he thought of many people. If his family including Dr. Asa will also be involved because he is exposed, perhaps he will be exposed because of this, which means that Kaoru is exposed, and he lives in Kaoru's house, then Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, and Aunt Yingli will also be involved. Xiaolan's death, the garden will definitely not give up. If the Suzuki consortium is involved, then the matter is even bigger. Plus the forces behind Kaoru... It's a big storm. Thinking of this, Conan finally kept his mouth shut. Yes, once you are exposed, there may not be fewer people involved.
"Alas... In the end, Conan could only sigh and express his inner depression. "What do you want me to do?"
"Hmmm... Didn't think about it. After thinking about it, I finally reluctantly said. "Let's go to school steadily. I'll take care of that here. I don't want to expose myself, do I?"
"Well, then all I can do is help you take a leave of absence. Eventually, Conan rolled over and covered himself with the covers. "Good Night"
"Hmm. Good night. β
Without Conan's harassment, I was able to get clean, and thinking about what happened in the Twin Towers today made my uneasiness even stronger. Is the appearance of Gin really just a coincidence?
However, this question didn't bother me for long, because the next morning, Conan and I were about to go to school when a phone call came into my house. And called the four of us, including my father and Xiaolan, to the police station. As soon as we arrived at the police station, we were informed that just last night, Councillor Oki Iwamatsu, who lives on the 67th floor of Block B of the Twin Towers, was killed last night.

"I'm here today to talk about the assassination of Tama City Councilor, Oki Iwamatsu, in the Twin Skyscrapers. Inside the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Twilight posted a photo of Oki Iwamatsu on the report board. "I heard that you all happened to be there when he asked Mio Tokiwa for his residence, so I wanted to ask you about it. "The people who are already accompanied by the aura of death have almost become frequent visitors to the Metropolitan Police Department, and it just so happens that everyone is here again, and Officer Yu should call everyone to inquire about it.
"Chiba, report the situation. β
"The time of death of Da Mu Yansong was between ten o'clock and midnight last night, and the murder weapon was suspected to be a dagger, a knife and other items. However, no murder weapon was found at the scene, but at the scene, Oki Iwamatsu was holding a small wine glass that had been split in two. β
"Shot glass?"
"This is it. Officer Shiratori pulled out a sealed wine glass from a box. The glass was shattered in half, as well as scattered pieces.
"This glass is a high-priced item, probably brought by Oki, who loves to drink, but we think it was a deliberate message from the suspect. Something that is intended to confuse us, or that suggests our identity. β
"So, the officer locked the prisoner on those five people?" said Dad as he looked at the five new photos that Chiba had already pasted under Oki Iwamatsu. They are, Mio Tokiwa, secretary Sawaguchi, designer Kazama, painter Rutsuki Minewater, and designer Yoshiaki Hara.
"Yes. Because the building has not yet been officially occupied, only these five people have been locked up at this time. β
"What is the prisoner's motive?" Dr. Asa interjected.
"It's still under investigation, but even though Oki Iwamatsu is only a city councilor, I heard that he has more power than the mayor of Tama City. Officer Twilight replied.
"The twin skyscrapers this time too. Shiratori explained. "It is said that the twin buildings were built by forcibly changing the municipal bill that made it impossible to build high-rise buildings in Seishitama City. β
"That's why Miss Tokiwa can't refuse Mr. Oki Iwamatsu's request for accommodation?"
"Yes, actually... β
"Hey, Kaoru, do you think this could be done by the organization?" Conan didn't bother to listen to the analysis of the police later, but turned his head directly to look at me.
"No, even the latest killer wouldn't be able to leave such an obvious hint as a shot glass. It's definitely going to erase all the stuff that's going to be there. I shook my head and dismissed Conan's idea, but at the same time, I thought to myself, indeed, this is not the style of the organization, but Gin was here yesterday, and something happened immediately that night. If they hadn't done it, would this case have caught their attention? Or was it just a coincidence?

"We can do this. β
"Hmm... And then.. β
"That's all!"
I was still thinking about it, but I heard the muttering of the three children sitting across from me.
"They... Could it be that you want to do it alone?" Seeing the performance of the three children, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and looked at Conan next to me, who also narrowed his half-moon eyes helplessly, seeing through their intentions. So, that afternoon, the children got together, of course, Zhibao and I didn't go with us, anyway, we were skipping class to rest, so we might as well do something else. Like what... Go home.
