Soon, because he learned that the third target of the mysterious organization was going to assassinate, he was now in the Eastern Capital Tower, so Conan and the people of the Junior Detective Group hurried here-

It is a complex building with a department store, event and conference space, and commercial offices, with a total of 60 floors.

"Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, you go to the observation deck on the seventh floor and stand by!"

At this moment, when Conan and everyone came to this building, with a serious and solemn expression, Conan first arranged an order to the three of them-

"Got it!"

In this regard, seeing that Conan first took the initiative to arrange actions for himself and others, Yuan Tai and the others couldn't help but feel very happy, and immediately responded with great interest and seriously.

"Let's go!"

So, after the three of them shouted to cheer each other up, they trotted up the escalator in the department store on the first floor, trying to rush to the seventh floor.

Moreover, their interest at this time was extremely high, and they seemed to be not satisfied with the speed of the escalator's ascent, and continued to run up while riding the escalator up.

Seeing this, after watching them go upstairs like this, Conan was not idle, and called Xiao Ai to run to the safe staircase passage of the building-

"Gray Plains, let's go this way!"

"What's on the seventh floor?"

Listening to Conan's words, although Xiao Wai was a little hesitant because he didn't contact Gao Yuan, but in this case, it was more dangerous to let Conan act alone, so he still kept up with Conan's pace, and was very concerned, and asked about Conan's purpose of letting Yuan Tai and them go to the seventh floor.

"Nope."

Faintly, Conan explained:

"It's just that on the observation deck on the seventh floor, there is a Kamen Superman show right now, I want them to see it, this operation may be very dangerous, I can't involve them!"

As he spoke, Conan glanced at the poster that was now on the wall of the department store, which was about the Kamen Superman show on the observation deck on the seventh floor.

"You also know that it is very dangerous? In that case, why not simply contact the police to deal with it? ”

Hearing Conan say this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask after all.

"It's too late!"

Seriously, Conan explains:

"Not to mention how to explain this to Officer Twilight, the current judgment that the killer would assassinate Mr. Oma while he was attending an academic conference is entirely my speculation based on Mr. Oma's recent itinerary provided on that website, and there is no clearer evidence.

"Therefore, instead of explaining to the police that may not convince the other party, it is more important to determine the situation first! Moreover, if the other party really chooses to assassinate here, then I am afraid it will be too late for the police to come! ”

With that, Conan ran to the elevator hall of the sightseeing elevator located outside the building, pressed the elevator button up, and when the elevator arrived, he walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the top 40th floor of the elevator.

"Hey! I remember that the conference hall of this building is on the 48th floor, and the sightseeing elevator on the outside can only go to the commercial office area on the 40th floor at most, and the area above the 40th floor can only be reached directly by the internal elevator from the ground floor, so why not just take the internal elevator up? ”

Looking at Conan's actions, Xiao Ai asked with some shock.

"Because of this, I can't take the direct internal elevator!"

Conan explained as he ran up the stairs:

"I also know that if you want to go to the conference hall on the 48th floor, normal people will inevitably choose to take the direct internal elevator to go up...... Therefore, if I am a killer and want to assassinate the target in such a place, I must use my hands and feet on the internal elevator to prevent the target from escaping in the elevator. So if the killer is really already carrying out the assassination now, it will be too dangerous for us to take the elevator straight up! ”

Analyzing it in this way, Conan and Xiao Ai, after taking the elevator to the 40th floor, took a detour to the area where the escape safety staircase passage was located, intending to go up through the escape staircase -

However, just after Conan opened the door at the entrance to the security passage on the 40th floor, a figure was standing in the staircase passage with a pistol, looking in the direction above the stairs.

In this regard, it seems that the sound of someone opening the door at the entrance of the safe passage is heard, and the figure looks directly in the direction of the entrance of the passage, and subconsciously, the hand with the gun is about to turn in the direction of the door.

Seeing this, Conan reacted in time, directly using a watch-type anesthetic gun to anesthetize the other party with an anesthetic needle before he made a move.

Then, after seeing that the other party fell asleep because of the anesthesia needle, Conan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he stepped forward to check the other party's condition with a sigh of relief-

"Is it a killer?"

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ai couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"I don't know...... But since the other party was ambushed in the stairwell on the 40th floor with guns, it seems that it should prevent someone from escaping from the upper floor...... So, the killer has really acted! ”

Looking at the pistol in the other party's hand, and the walkie-talkie in the other hand, Conan said solemnly, and then turned his head to look upstairs-

If there is only one person in the killer, then there is no walkie-talkie at all.

Therefore, the person in front of him is just one of the killers in this operation, and there should be other killers upstairs carrying out assassination operations!

"No, we have to go up and have a look! This time, the killer looks like there is more than one person! ”

At this moment, Conan was already convinced that the killer who carried out the assassination was really planning to take advantage of Yuichiro Oma's trip to attend an academic conference to kill him.

So, Conan, who was anxious in his heart, looked solemn, took the pistol and walkie-talkie in the other party's hand, and then continued to run upstairs-

"Wait a minute! Edogawa! It's all come to this point, it's no longer a problem we can solve! Now that the existence of the killer has been confirmed, let's call the police to deal with it! ”

In the face of the current situation, Xiao Ai seriously dissuaded Conan.

"No! At this point, it's really too late to wait for the police to come! I must stop this assassination! Now it seems that if you go up the stairs, you should be able to meet ......."

With that, Conan ran up the stairs quickly, not caring about the killer who was asleep because of the anesthetic needle at the moment-

In this regard, seeing that Conan used up the anesthetic needle because he eliminated a killer, so if he continues to go up, he doesn't know how many killers there are, and it's too dangerous for him to go up like this.

So, thinking that he still had a spare watch-type anesthetic gun, at least he could help a little, Xiao Ai had no choice but to run upstairs with him-

Really, at this time, I can't persuade him at all......

And Gao Yuan, why don't you answer the phone at this time!

Complaining like this in his heart, Xiao Ai had no choice but to keep up with Conan's pace-

"Help, save ......"

And just then, when Conan and Xiao Ai arrived at the stairwell on the 48th floor, it was obvious that a somewhat trembling voice came from above.

Looking up, I saw that on the stairs below the stairwell on the 49th floor, Mr. Yuichiro Oma, who had the face of the national character on the photo, was holding his left abdomen at the moment, sitting on the stairs, groaning in pain and looking at Conan and Xiao Ai who were walking downstairs:

"Please, please let me go!"

After seeing Conan and Xiao Ai who appeared here, Yuichiro Oma seemed to regard them as killers who had come to kill him, and pleaded with them and said-

"Mr. Oma!"

Seeing this, seeing the injury to Yuichiro Oma's left abdomen, Conan looked serious and was about to come forward to ask.

However, at this moment, Conan noticed that the stairwell door on the 49th floor was being slammed outside at this time, and this door, at this time, was on the side of the stairwell, and the doorknob was jammed by someone with a fire extinguisher in the passage, so that people on the other side of the passage could not come directly to this side-

"Big brother, I'm sorry! I didn't hit him in the right place! ”

"Stupid! What are you doing? Knock this door open! ”

At this moment, on the opposite side of the door, it was obvious that the voices of two men could be heard coming from that side, and then, the movement of banging on the door became louder and louder-

"You've been attacked here!"

Faced with such a situation, Conan stepped forward and said solemnly.

"Huh? Child? How will you know what my last name is? ”

In this regard, hearing Conan call out his surname, Yuichiro Oma couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Wait a minute, let's get out of here!"

In this way, although he was puzzled by the appearance of Conan and Xiao Ai, Yuichiro Oma still followed them downstairs -

Anyway, the killers guarding downstairs have been solved by themselves, so the rest, the two killers upstairs, just notify the police......

Wait a minute! It's gone!

However, just as Conan was thinking so, several people returned to the stairwell on the 40th floor, and the killer who was supposed to be lying on the ground and sleeping was not in the stairwell-

How long has it been?

It stands to reason that people who have been struck by Dr. Asasa's special anesthetic should not have woken up so soon!

Could it be that there are the killer's accomplices downstairs!

Thinking of this, Conan hurriedly asked Yuichiro Oma about how he was attacked-

"Mr. Oma, how did you get hunted by those two killers?"

Seriously, Conan asked.

And in this regard, as soon as he thought of this, Yuichiro Oma's expression was a little shocked, and at the same time he said in disbelief:

"The invitation letter I received for the academic conference said that I was going to attend the conference hall on the 49th floor today, but when I got to the 49th floor, I found that there was no conference hall on the 49th floor, only on the 48th floor. Therefore, I thought it was a mistake in the invitation, so I thought about going downstairs to talk about it. However, the elevator down there was a malfunction, so I thought about taking the stairs......

"Then, as I walked to the door of the stairwell, I was confronted by those two killers who shot at me!"

Saying this, Yuichiro Oma gritted his teeth indignantly, and with a slightly trembling hand, he took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

Looking at this piece of paper, Yuichiro Oma couldn't help but say:

"Damn! I'm going to live! How can they be killed like them! ”

Suddenly, hearing what Yuichiro Ohma said, Conan turned his head to look at the piece of paper he came out of-

Although it was folded, Conan recognized it just by the exposed part, and that piece of paper was the code left by the mountain Asakatsu when he was hiking in the suburbs that day!

"Wait! That piece of paper is ......"

Seeing this, he wanted to confirm further, Conan stepped forward and took the piece of paper and unfolded it, only to see that this piece of paper was indeed the code he saw that day, and there was also a photo of Asakatsu in the mountains attached to it-

"Sure enough! This is a crossword puzzle left behind by Mr. Asakatsu Yamanaka, who was killed! He hid the name of his killer in this game......"

With sharp eyes, Conan looked at Yuichiro Oma, his eyebrows frowning slightly:

"How could Mr. Oma have this? And yours say it's 'them'...... It's hard to say, in addition to Mr. Yamanaka Asaka, do you know Mr. Soma Ji! ”

Hearing this, Yuichiro Oma's expression became very angry, and he couldn't help but say:

"This is what I heard from Soma, it seems that there is a leader of an organization or someone who is looking for Asahikatsu. Asakatsu told Soma on the phone, 'Tips are on the plane, combining signboards and tips'...... But after he made that phone call, he was killed! ”

"Airplanes?"

Puzzled, Conan hurriedly asked.

"What kind of hint did Asakatsu give to Soma through the plane, and I have no way of knowing that Soma is no longer alive......"

With his head down, Yuichiro Oma had no clue about this.

"But why were the three of you hunted down by that organization? Do you have any clues? ”

The three people who were hunted down by that organization turned out to be connected, which Conan didn't expect, so seriously, Conan wanted to know more about the situation.

However, after hearing Conan's inquiry, Yuichiro Oma, who was originally a little emotional because of the mention of Yamanaka Asakatsu and Soma Ji, calmed down a little at this time, and looked at Conan, who was asking him at the moment, and his expression suddenly felt a little wrong-

"Wait a minute! Who the hell are you? How do you know that Asakatsu still has Soma! ”

"I'm Detective Edogawa ......"

Seriously, after Conan said the surname "Edogawa", his thoughts were suddenly stunned, and then he said with a somewhat cold expression:

"No, it's codenamed 'Onyx'. We are killers! We're going to make you disappear before the other killers kill you! ”

- That Yuichiro Oma has a relationship with Asakatsu Yamanaka and Soma Ji, who has been killed, and now that organization is eyeing Yuichiro Oma's life.

Therefore, due to the rules mentioned on that website, even if the previous killer fails, the later killer can continue to accept the mission to hunt down.

Therefore, even if he helps Yuichiro Oma escape this chase today, it doesn't mean that he will be safe in the future-

In that case, let's let "Onyx", who also registered as a killer on that website, disappear Yuichiro Oma!

But the premise is that the assassination operation that is being carried out in front of the assassination must first confirm the failure.

From this, at this moment, Conan had a bold idea -

At least, you have to completely save Yuichiro Oma first, and then talk about it, obviously, that organization specializes in chasing and killing Yuichiro Oma, and there must be a special reason!

Perhaps, for this reason, that organization can be uprooted!

Thank you Tom for the powerful Tom and Seven Ah Seven for the reward
