Chapter 48: Detonating the Skyscraper (End)

"Cut." Xiaolan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said.

"Cut?" Conan was also sweating profusely, "Good. It seems that it is still too late. Now just cut off that black one and the timer will stop. ”

"Is it black?" Lan cut the black line.

β€œ...... New, Shinichi," Ran looked at the counter that was still walking, "I cut off the black one, but the counter still didn't stop." ”

Conan was taken aback: "What? It has been ...... on the drawings"

"And there are two wires that have not been cut," Xiaolan continued, "one red and one blue." ”

......

"The passage to the fourth floor has finally opened!" The rescuers reported to the police.

"Ran, Ran......" Mori Kogoro walked towards the building step by step in a trance, "You wait...... Orchid...... I'm here to save you......" Officer Shiratori on the side hurriedly hugged him.

"Let go of me!" Maori Kogoro suddenly came to his senses and shouted angrily, "I'm going to save Xiaolan!" ”

"Is this the sad father-daughter love?" Teiji Moriya on the side sneered and looked at this scene, "Architecture doesn't need love, and so does life!" ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Could it beβ€”" Conan thought anxiously at the other end of the tunnel, "Could it be that Teiji Moriya deliberately didn't draw these two lines on the map in order to lead me into being fooled?" ”

"Shinichi, what should I do? Are both cut? Lan asked behind the door.

"Stupid!" Conan yelled, "One of them is a real detonation wire, and we'll be crushed if we cut it." ”

"What to do!" Conan slammed his fist to the ground, only to get blood on his hands.

A handkerchief floated over, "Let me try it." A cold voice came from behind him.

Conan jerked his head back, and an equally embarrassed figure appeared behind him, his eyes like two lights in the darkness.

"Shallow...... Charlotte! Halfway through speaking, Conan realized that he was now Kudo Shinichi, "Why are you here!" ”

"The mistakes you make have to come back and make up for them." Asa Yu shook his hand and rejected the voice changer handed over by Conan, but when he opened his mouth, it was not Asa Yu's immature voice, but Miyamoto Charlotte's clear voice! "Kudo, stand back."

"Is it Charlotte?" On the other side of the door, hearing a familiar voice, Xiaolan couldn't help but be happy.

"Charlotte, you ......" Conan looked at the dusty and bloodstained shallow feather, but was speechless.

"Xiaolan, you also get out of the way." Asa Yu said to Xiaolan on the other side of the door.

Xiaolan hurriedly gave up a place.

"I'm not guaranteed to succeed." Asa Yu turned his head and said to Conan seriously.

"It's okay." Conan smiled freely, "If you can come, it means a lot." ”

Asa Yu laughed silently. Then, pull it out with a backhand!

Out of the sheath!

Boom!

With a loud bang, Xiao Lan looked at the half-cut blade exposed from the door in surprise, "Charlotte!" ”

On the other side of the "......" door, Conan looked at the unconscious light feather holding the hilt of the knife and sighed.

"What's wrong, Shinichi? Charlotte? Xiaolan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

β€œ...... It's nothing. Charlotte ...... It's just too tiring. Pulling out the god with all his might, Conan whispered as he looked at the dusty scabbard.

Outside, the hour and minute hands coincide again.

Whenβ€”whenβ€”whenβ€”the clock struck midnight. Everything seemed to stand still, and everyone silently enjoyed the tranquility.

Conan held the picture in his hand and stood there silently, motionless.

"Shinichi?" Xiaolan's voice came from the other side of the door, with a slight sense of relief.

"Huh?"

"Happybirthday, Shinichi." Xiaolan no longer paid attention to the bomb in her hand, and sat quietly on the ground with her back against the door, "Because, I may not have a chance to say this to you again in the future." ”

"Ran-" The blueprint in his hand fell to the ground, and Conan sat down on the ground in a daze.

The two of them sat with their backs to the door, and they no longer had any strength.

A door, separated by the feelings and hearts of the two childhood sweethearts.

"Cut it." Conan lifted the voice changer and said quietly, "Cut your favorite color." ”

"But what if I cut it wrong?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

"Heh, if you cut it wrong, you cut it wrong," Conan smiled, smiling very shallowly, "anyway, the bomb will still explode when the time comes." In that case, cut the color you like. ”

"But ......"

"You don't have to worry, Ran." Conan looked up, "I'll be here with you until you cut it!" ”

"I'll be with you...... Die together. ”

"......" Xiaolan smiled, smiling very innocently and happily, "Shinichi ......"

......

The explosion caused a collapse again, and Conan raised his head, but it was too late to dodge.

"As I said, you have to make up for the mistakes you make!"

One hand pushed Conan away, but he was buried underneath.

"Charlotte!"

β€œ...... No...... Cut the red ......" After Asa Yu said this, he was completely unconscious.

"What?"

On the other side of the door, Xiaolan also quickly dodged with the bomb, looking at the bomb in her hand, but pictures flashed in her mind.

"Shinichi, which one do you like, red or blue?"

"Let's be red, then."

"You see, my lucky colors for May and Xinyi are both red! That's why we decided to watch this film! ”

Looking at the red casual shirt she had prepared for Shinichi at hand, Xiaolan seemed to have made up her mind and slowly raised the scissors in her hand.

......

The rescue team broke through to the fifth floor: "Two teenagers have been found here!" The search and rescue captain shouted over the walkie-talkie. It's all right, little brother! As he spoke, he was about to pick up Conan and Asa Yu.

"Wait a minute!" Conan pointed to the door and yelled at the search and rescue personnel, "There are still people trapped here!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute!" The search and rescue captain arched his body and slammed the door hard, "No, I can't open it, I'm ready to study the tools!" The team members said yes and went out.

"It's my wedding anniversary," the captain muttered to himself, "and it looks like I can't get through it!" ”

"I gave him three minutes to savor it!"

Teiji Moriya's words suddenly echoed in his ears, it turned out that he was asking me to taste the taste of my birthday in these three minutes! Conan thought, suddenly, he reacted violently, damn it! Wait a minute......

β€œ...... Ah, that's exciting. You must have bought all the gifts, right? ”

β€œ...... No, I'm going to buy it on Saturday. Because he loves red as much as I do. Also, our lucky colors for May are all red! ”

β€œ...... No...... Cut red ......"

Oops!! Conan's head buzzed, "Lan! Ignoring the rescuers' obstruction, he banged the deformed door, "Don't cut the red one!" Red is a trap!! To cut the blue one, Ran!! Answer me! ”

Time, minute by minute, minute by second, less than a minute from 0.3 to 3 minutes!

Sitting in the movie theater, Xiaolan firmly stretched out her hand holding the scissors.

00:40!

00:30!

00:20!

00:10!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

"Goodbye, Shinichi." Xiaolan closed her eyes and put the line ......

Cut it off!

At this time, both the people in the building and the police outside the building seemed to be petrified, and they could only wait quietly for the results.

0.03!

The bomb did not explode!

"Ha, ha......" Xiaolan slumped to the ground, looking at the blue line that had been cut by herself, and followed the timer that stopped at 00:02.

......

When Asaba woke up again, it was already a day later.

Looking at the doctor in front of the hospital bed, Conan and Xiaolan, Asa Yu smiled silently.

It seems that he survived.

"You're unlucky," Conan said, biting on the apple and fiddling with Watson's tail, eliciting a disgruntled meow. "In just one day, you've been in the hospital twice."

"......" Qianyu ignored him, turned his head and asked Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, why did you cut the blue thread in the end?" ”

Xiaolan smiled like an angel, "Because... I don't want to cut it off. She held out her little finger, "That red wire, maybe it's the red wire that ties me and Shinichi!" ”

"Red line!" Asa Yu chuckled, ignoring that Conan was messing with Watson again, and looked out the window.

Outside the window, a white dove cooed and flew across the sky.
