[Detective, I can't reach this vent. 】

"Uh......"

Dongye Building, looking at the message sent by Gray Yuan Ai on his phone, as well as the photo of the vent she took, Conan raised his hand and gave his head.

Hell, he was so excited by the information from the vent that he subconsciously forgot that with Ash Yuan's height, without the help of the right tools, she would not have been able to touch the ceiling, which was almost three meters high.

But the question is, in the current North Leaf Mansion, where is he going to ask Gray Yuan to find the right tools to come over?

"On the roof of the North Leaf Building, there is a telescopic ladder, which may be useful." Konanko Shimazaki beside him suddenly spoke.

"The roof of the North Leaf Building?" Conan looked at her, the expression on his face first surprised, then quickly turned to suspicion.

"Huh? Strange ......"

Before he could ask anything, Kanako Shimazaki herself became confused.

"The rooftop ...... of the North Leaf"

Why did she know that there was a telescopic ladder on the roof of the North Leaf?

The sentence just now was that she thought of the ladder after seeing the message sent by Gray Yuanai, and then when she was thinking about where there would be a ladder in Beiye, she blurted it out in an instant, which made her feel incredible.

Because from this morning to now, this is the first time in the whole process of her intermittent retrieval of her memory.

Could it be that the word "ladder" has some special meaning to her?

No, no, not a ladder...... There is a ladder on the top of the north leaf...... What really stimulates her should be the roof of the North Leaf.

"Hmm......"

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Kanako Shimazaki's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.

It's as if something unseemly has been suddenly revealed.

[There should be a telescopic ladder on the roof of the north leaf, and you can go to see the gray plain. 】

After sending the news to Ash Hara first, Conan turned his head and looked at Kanako Shimazaki who was still struggling to reminisce with a solemn face.

“……”

"Alas......"

North Leaf Building, Gray Yuan Wai sighed again after seeing the news.

The problem is a little tricky.

She originally planned to hide from the three little ones and help Conan do it herself.

But according to the current situation, if she wants to get the ladder, she must go to the roof of the North Leaf through the stairwell, and this must pass in front of the three little eyes.

Although the building is not limited to one stairwell, the option of bypassing most of the floor to the stairwell on the other side of the building is too dangerous in the current situation.

If you accidentally collide with those terrorists, you really can't find a place to cry.

Although Gray Yuan Wai is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, she also has no intention of dying here meaninglessly.

Taking a step back, even if she managed to support the three small ones, she found a chance to go to the top of the building alone, and there was indeed a telescopic ladder there.

Then she also had to face the problem of how to move the telescopic ladder down.

This is seventeen floors, and the top of the North Leaf Building is thirty floors, that is, does she want to move the ladder down the thirteenth floor by herself?

Gray Yuan Ai looked down at her thin arms, and felt that this kind of thing must not be something she could do alone.

[Do you really have to ask those children to help?] 】

This idea gradually popped up in his heart, and Gray Yuan Wai was a little hesitant.

In the current situation, it is obvious that she will not be able to fulfill Conan's request alone, but it is too dangerous to involve those children in this way......

Or give up, right?

Squatting in the corner of the corridor, Gray Yuan Wai subconsciously clenched his hands.

[No ......]

After a short period of deliberation, she finally made up her mind to continue to fulfill Conan's request.

Because she thought of a good way to fulfill Conan's request, and also help those children find a relatively safe hiding place for the time being.

That was to let the three little ones go with her from this vent to the ceiling.

According to Conan's message, there was an entire plywood space on this floor, and the only place to go up was this one vent that was only large enough for a child to pass through.

If they all dodge inside, it's definitely a pretty perfect place to hide.

As long as they are careful not to make too much noise and get noticed by the terrorists below, there will be no problem.

Finally convinced himself, Gray Yuan Wai quickly made a decision.

She cautiously returned to the stairwell the way she came, and saw the three little ones still crouching in the corner.

"Gray Plains?!" The three of them were visibly very happy to see her return safely.

"Hmm." Nodding, Gray Yuan Wai immediately said, "Let's go, let's go to the roof of this building together." ”

"Huh? Why go to the rooftop? Mitsuhiko asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't we find a way to get out of here now?" Do you want to shoot the flying monsters too? ”

[When is it all the time, are you still thinking about the flying monster......]

Silently complaining in his heart, Gray Yuan Wai explained: "Now we have to change our plans, it's too dangerous to leave Beiye just by a few of us, I just found a suitable hiding place, we can hide there first, and then come out after the police drive those terrorists away."

But before we do that, we'll have to go to the top of the building and find a ladder. ”

She didn't tell the three little ones about the software or her contact with Conan.

The reason is very simple, the content on that software can be seen by all the people who have installed that software, and with the character of those three little ones, if they also know about that software, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Huh? However, how did Gray Yuan know that there would be a ladder on the roof of the building? Mitsuhiko asked curiously.

"Because there are usually ladders on the roof, okay, let's go, hurry up, and be quiet."

Without further explanation, Gray Yuan Ai walked upstairs first, and behind her, although the three little ones were a little confused, they still followed her down the stairs towards the top of the building without hesitation.

Along the way, the four of them climbed and stopped, and came to the roof of the North Leaf Building without danger.

Letting the three little ones hide behind, Gray Yuan Ai stepped forward alone, pushed open the door on the roof of the building, and cautiously glanced outside.

[No one. 】

Gesturing to the three behind her, she opened the door and stepped onto the rooftop.

"Squat down and don't be seen by the terrorists in the other buildings."

Closing the door, Ash Yuan Wai half-squatted and quickly swept around.

The roof was wide, but not as empty as she had expected.

In the middle of the rooftop, more than 20 meters away from several people, there is a circle of metal plates that look like they are used for construction work.

The space enclosed by these metal plates is not small, and it looks like it should fit two cars in the front and rear.

And next to these fenced metal plates is the telescopic ladder that Conan said.

[Strange, how can there be these things on the rooftop?] 】
