"I've always felt," said Mr. Karasawa, "that fate is a tree with lush leaves."

He tilted his head slightly, as if he saw the lush greenery in front of him. The silver-colored boundary tree stretched out its body, stretching out countless branched branches.

"But there is only one at the top of the tree, and once you step on the wrong step, you can only go back and start over...... Sometimes, you don't even realize where you're going wrong. ”

The system quickly answered: [But shouldn't fate be a river? You also say, "No one can step into the same river twice." 】

"Yes." Tang Zeyu was noncommittal, "Then have you ever seen the retrograde water flow?" ”

The system was choked for a moment. It muttered, "How do I know, if you see me, you won't wake me up." 】

Tang Zeyu smiled.

He had a certain empathetic tolerance for this little thing, and he was not angry when he was refuted, but continued indifferently: "I have failed many times. ”

The system space and time stood still, and the surrounding scene was completely darkened. Beside him stood the towering twin towers, and it seemed that he could see through the dark sky and see a few stars shining overhead.

"It's the furthest I've ever traveled, and I didn't make it until the first year of Conan, when I realized that I had gone wrong four years ago."

"I've always held to the belief that if one path doesn't work, the other way. If you encounter a thorn, you will split it, and if you encounter the south wall, you will smash through it......" Tang Zeyu's voice gradually weakened, and finally it was almost like talking to himself, "But what if there is no road at the end?" ”

When you reach the end, it turns out that it is a cliff, and all fates only exist at one meeting point, and this will undoubtedly be the most terrifying and desperate phase.

- The initial efforts are ineffective, and all the struggles are meaningless.

"Then I'll go crazy." Tang Zeyu paused, and after a moment, shook his head self-deprecatingly, "No, I may have collapsed before I got there." ”

The burning cigarette curled up smoke from his fingertips, and the system was speechless for a moment.

This indifferent and cold man, who only has a calm side face in front of the interface, is like a lifeless stone statue when he is alone, and the keenest eyes cannot read the emotions that fly by his eyes.

The system tried to pull up his database, compared his face, and felt that he was sad for a while, and then felt that he was thinking.

The contradictory conclusion almost tangled the system into a twist, and finally the electronic voice cautiously said: "But, you see, your changes are effective. 】

[The stars are lit up.] 】

It emptied the database, and it could only find such clumsy comfort, I thought that Tang Zeyu was indifferent to this, but I didn't expect him to look up as well.

“…… yes," he repeated, "the stars are shining." ”

The starlight reflected in his dark eyes, like a lamp burning on the surface of a lake at night. After a while, Tang Zeyu suddenly added with interest: "Later, I was too lazy to think about it, before I gave up, I could go wherever I wanted." ”

*

The filter that darkens the brightness fades and the system space disappears. When time resumes flowing, Tang stood in the twin buildings seven years ago, watching the disheveled residents evacuate in a hurry.

[Fifteen minutes left in the countdown to the bomb, but the elevator has stopped, and you need to run up to the top floor by yourself,] the system said nervously, "Can you?" 】

"I can't." Tang Zeyu simply refused.

【？！ 】

Without waiting for the system to react, Tang Zeyu walked towards the convenience store on the side of the road.

When he walked out with water and bread noodles, the system beeped like crazy: [Thirteen minutes! It's only been thirteen minutes! 】

[Can I mute it?] You're so noisy. Hiroshi Karasawa sent it away.

And in Sithar he bent down and handed out the food.

In the corner is a discarded "wool" blanket, "messy" and piled up, the accumulated dust dyeing its surface gray-brown "color", and the stretched thread is mixed with a few strands of black hair.

The girl wrapped in the blanket almost merged with it, and it wasn't that Yu Tang Ze bent down, and the system didn't notice.

Layers of the blanket

moved, and a pair of black "colored" eyes appeared.

Even though he was wandering, with only a blanket to hold on, his eyes were still bright and vigilant, like a frightened young beast.

- The girl didn't look at the food handed by Tang Zeyu, but said, "What do you want?" ”

Tang Zeyu raised his eyebrows in surprise at this sentence.

The girl stubbornly repeated again: "What do you want me to do? ”

"Hmm," Tang Zeyu then thought about it, "-seeing that you haven't eaten for a few days, I'll send you." Isn't it possible? ”

[Twelve and a half minutes! The system is going crazy. Tang Zeyu replied to it without waves: [I know, it's a big deal to continue to reopen. 】

The girl shook her head.

"For me, there's no such thing as nothing for nothing," she said, "and if you don't give it back, then I can't afford what you need." I'm not going to take this. ”

She was obviously hungry, but she still said such things. Tang Zeyu felt that such a predicament and adherence to principles was a bit ridiculous and a bit pitiful. So he asked, "Can you run to the top floor in twelve minutes?" ”

"Oh," he paused, "It's been ten minutes." ”

The girl's eyes showed a little smug disdain: "Who do you look down on?" Seven minutes is enough, I'm a track and field champion, and people like you find it hard to be able to do it. ”

She realized that the equivalent exchange had been reached, and began to devour it with peace of mind, swallowing bread without forgetting to pour a few sips of water. Tang Zeyu waited for her to be full, and looked up: "The bomb on the top floor has stopped, but there is another one on the seventh floor, and it will explode in ten minutes." ”

The girl was pouring water into her mouth, and when she heard the words, she squirted out and turned her head to look at him. Her eyes widened like a frightened groundhog.

Tang Zeyu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and added, "Of course this is fake. ”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting Tang Zeyu to continue: "But you have to convince those policemen above that it is true, understand?" ”

“……”

The girl swallowed the bread from her mouth vaguely, and her eyes wandered uneasily around the evacuation procession in front of the door.

"Are all the residents gone," she said? ”

[Eleven minutes countdown.] The system is weak.

Hiroshi Karasawa: [Don't talk nonsense. Have all the residents been evacuated? 】

When he got the answer, he said to the girl, "Only the police are gone." ”

The girl poured the last sip of water from the bottle, and the "hairy" blanket stood up.

Only then can I see the traces of her happy life in the past, her muscles are like cheetahs, and the months of wandering have not diminished it.

The girl took two steps towards the door, and looked back at Tang Zeyu uncertainly.

"Why don't you go up and inform them yourself?"

Tang Zeyu smiled and said, "Why don't you go?" ”

The girl glared at him, and that gaze probably felt that Tang Zeyu was the most unreasonable in this regard. A moment later she grinded her teeth and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Tang Zeyu double-"inserted" his pockets and waited at the bottom of the building. Ten minutes later, the bomb exploded, and the swelling flames "licked" the window, and the flying debris fell from the sky, crackling like a rainstorm.

Tang Zeyu took a step back and avoided a bolt.

"May I ask Moriya Sen, do you admit that you are the culprit behind the billion-dollar extortion case in the Twin Towers seven years ago?"

"Yes."

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

Emperor Moriya drooped his eyelids and said nothing.

Under the spotlight of the media, his face that had just woken up was depressed, and every fold was written with a sense of discouragement.

The besieged journalist was even more excited: "For what purpose did you end up on this path?" ”

"Where is the billion yen that has disappeared? Tucked away in a corner or splurged? ”

"Moriya, look at this-"

The follow-up questions of the media failed, and Emperor Moriya "appeared" once in a short time, and only said one thing in the whole process, and the mobile team that was eyeing him on the side immediately began to rush.

"Interview ring

This is the end of the festival, please pay attention to the police announcement for the follow-up cases. ”

In the South Cup Station Yard, the only pictures sent back by the reporter are these.

As for how the follow-up anchors interpret it, it is not the focus of the police's current attention.

There was still a whole circle of the Eastern Capital Loop waiting for it, and at this moment, only the last puzzle was left unsolved.

Where are the bombs claimed by Teiji Moriya on the phone?

- Forty-six minutes before sunset, and the train stops at Minami Cupdo Bridge Station for twenty-five minutes.

"The bomb is fake? He didn't install it when he came? The police department was stunned.

Through the one-way mirror of the interrogation room, two police officers can be seen sitting opposite Teiji Moriya.

The fierce god on the left raised his fist from time to time, and when he saw that it was about to sweep to the face of Emperor Moriya, he was pressed by the one on the right, and handed him a glass of water with a smile.

This is the most commonly used strategy in interrogation, one sings red face and one face, but the two tried their best, but Moriya Teji bit only this sentence.

He said, "If you don't believe me, stop the next train and see if I'm right." ”

Emperor Moriya insisted that the bomb on the ring line of the eastern capital did not exist, but he dared to say it, but the Dusk Police Department did not dare to bet on the falsehood of this sentence with the life of a train, and the scene was deadlocked.

While the two police officers were on top, the Twilight Police Department walked out of the interrogation room, and Kudo Shinichi, who was waiting in the corridor, saw him and said, "Teiji Moriya is lying." ”

"There's no way, this oil and salt can't be entered," the face of the Twilight Police Department was as black as the bottom of a pot, "The interrogation can't be tried, what else can I do?" You can't follow the example of Scotland and threaten him to blow up the South Cupdo station! ”

This is the dragon slayer has finally become an evil dragon, and the Dusk Police Department shook its head again, almost dispelling the crazy thought.

-- Scotland's three open letters are noticeably softer in tone than the two previous ones.

&nbs

p; As if the Metropolitan Police Department had the idea to keep up with it, it quickly wiped out all the wanted criminals hiding in the target location, and only mentioned the three explosion sites in the whole article: Tokyo Jikei Hospital.

[Don't you think that compared to the flaws and asymmetry of the view, it is a positive insult to your architectural aesthetics to let such long-term residents become noodles? 】

The three open letters did not ask for it, leaving only this fluttering question, but it was knocked on the heart of Emperor Moriya, and I am afraid it would weigh more than a thousand pounds.

His face was in disgrace after that, and no matter how much the red-faced police officer threatened and coerced, he could only say one sentence over and over again.

"The bomb in the back doesn't exist, I lied to you."

It's like a broken jar, his dream is dead, and he has to drag a few people into the water before he is dying.

The Twilight Police Department was so angry that they longed for the Scottish Divine Soldiers to descend from the sky, and then threatened Emperor Moriya in a tough tone, but after three open letters, the mystery hidden behind the scenes was extinguished.

Gradually, the Metropolitan Police Department realized that they might be caught up in the wrestling of two larger, more secretive forces of darkness, unwittingly becoming pawns of one side to suppress the other. But even if this is posted, it won't help, Scotland's open letter is a righteous and bright conspiracy, can they still let these wanted criminals who have absconded for a year go alone because this is a contest between the two blacks?

Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department can only turn a blind eye and deserve to suffer a loss.

Only Conan, who knew the more hidden secrets, fell into doubt.

Scotland himself is also on the loop train, isn't he afraid that Emperor Moriya will fight back and blow up the train carrying him into the sky?

- Or is this mysterious creature of the black-clad organization also believing in the ability of the police?

The conclusion of the last experiment was that the antidote had a "medicinal" effect of ten hours, which was enough to cover until midnight at the beginning.

As the initial target of Emperor Moriya's provocation, it may be that only Kudo Shinichi can pry out some more news from his mouth.

Conan ate the antidote in Okiya's car, quickly changed back into Gao's clothes, and Detective Gao was wearing a bow tie, and said to the shining eyes of the Twilight Police Department, "I'll go in and have a look." ”

- Forty-two minutes before sunset, and the train stops at Minami Kakudo Bridge Station for twenty-one minutes.

"I know why you chose me for revenge, because I saw through Mayor Seymour's clumsy trick and ruined your dream plan for a new Seymour town, right?"

The original two police officers went out, and only Shinichi Kudo and Teiji Moriya were left in the interrogation room, the former bending over and holding the table in his hands.

Kudo Shinichi stared closely at Teiji Moriya's old face, his blue eyes like a goshawk, carefully studying every inch of his expression.

Hearing the key word "New Seymour", the corners of Teiji Moriya's mouth twitched.

"I'm guessing that's what you're going to do," Shinichi Kudo continued to speak, "after successfully extorting a billion yen, you found a politician who was willing to support your cause, and spent money to elect him as mayor." But on the eve of the planned start of construction, the mayor was imprisoned. ”

"So you don't only have dreams, but also a huge amount of money that you have worked hard to extort, and you can't take revenge on the mayor who is in prison, so you will be angry with me, the detective."

Teiji Moriya suddenly retorted, "You are wrong. ”

Kudo Shinichi's heart jumped, and he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I've been working with architecture all my life, how can I look for 'color'?" Teiji Moriya said.

"The billion yen is not in me at all, and it is not my job to nominate the mayor. Tian Rangzhi's residence was placed by the police, and we couldn't find a place to hide, so an old man found us-"

"What's his name?" Kudo Shinichi's breathing stopped briefly, and he had a hunch that the investigation of the black-clad organization would make significant progress in Teiji Moriya.

"All I know is his code name," said Teiji Moriya, "and he calls himself, rum." ”

- Thirty-nine minutes before sunset, the train stops at Minami Cupdo Bridge Station in 18 minutes.

"Scotland," Rum said coldly, "since you tore your face first, don't blame me for going first." ”

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the revolving restaurant, this bald man overlooks the ever-flowing town of Kakudo.

The criss-crossed water system reflected the orange light in the setting sun, and a black shadow crossed the river, which was the ring line bridge where the bombs were planted.

Teiji Moriya planted only one bomb, because he also had only one purpose, to blow up the Ring Line Bridge, which was his imperfect work.

It's not enough, but it's enough to blow up a tram into the sky.

Rum didn't mind helping him out.

He was holding the bomb's only remote control, and as soon as the tram crossed the Ring Line bridge, Rum would detonate the bomb.

Although it is not clear which carriage Scotland is in, it is not a trivial matter, the shock wave set off by the explosion is enough to derail the entire train and fall into the river!

"Go up to heaven with the art you are proud of......" a smug smile slowly curled into his lips.

As for Bourbon, who was still in the car, he was not Rum's subordinate, so naturally it was not in his consideration.

What's more, even if there are subordinates on the same train, will Rum be a rat bogeyman? It should be their glory to share the worries of their superiors.

There were still a few stops left before the tram arrived, and Rum waited patiently.

Following the winding tracks, I saw a helicopter flying very close to the rear of the car to grab the news, and Rum thought quite complacently: I should send you a big news.

It's a rare piece of shit luck.

- Thirty-five minutes before sunset, the train stops at Minami Cupdo Bridge Station for 14 minutes.

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

"So the Karasawa Police Department," Kudo Shinichi said slowly, "...... He's also a target that Rum wants to get rid of, isn't he? ”

"How do I know what these big things think?" The corners of Emperor Moriya's mouth twitched.

Kudo Shinichi ignored his Tai Chi, took a deep breath, and quickly gathered his thoughts.

He paced in place in the cramped interrogation room:

"You want to blow up Hiroshi Karazawa, but you can only let the tram stop at Minami Kakudo Bridge Station, because the length of the body is two hundred meters, the platform

In line with the front of the car, the rear of the car is just ...... the loop"

Kudo Shinichi's voice was a card, and he suddenly came to light.

"xx x " actually means "on the rails"!

The principle of the bomb is actually so simple, why didn't he think of it before?

"Suspend the stationing plan of the train, don't stop at Minami Kakudo Bridge Station, and keep going!" Kudo Shinichi hurriedly walked out of the interrogation room and said to the Twilight Police Department non-stop, "As for the railway dispatching terminal, let the switch over there, and all the trams will change tracks, and then slow down after leaving the Toto Ring Line." ”

- The bomb is equipped with a photoreceptor that will explode as soon as it is plunged into darkness for thirteen seconds, and the next time it receives light, the countdown will start again.

The length of the loop line tram is about 200 meters, so the speed needs to exceed 60 kilometers per hour!

The Toto Railway Headquarters immediately passed down the arrangement, and as soon as it drove off the loop line, it was the Echo that would turn into the Odakyu Line from Shinjuku Station.

The rutted heart track of the rails turned to the direction of Odakyu, the Echo Horn flew by, the rumble of the wheels, the conductor wiped the cold sweat on his head, and slowly reduced the speed of the car:

“70km/h…… 65、63，60km/h…… 59、56、54！ ”

The general command room was instantly filled with cheers and celebrations, and the paper and sleeves were thrown into the air, and the employees high-fived and hugged each other all afternoon.

The Minister of Operation's face was also full of smiles, and he commanded with great ambition: "Don't be in a hurry to celebrate, there are still nineteen trains on the circular line!" In the next column, the number of hope ......"

Hearing the good news from the command room, Kudo Shinichi breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been suspended for an afternoon, finally landed.

At the same time, the smile on his face deepened, and there was another

The corners of Rum's mouth curled up uncontrollably, staring intently at the unaware approaching tram.

What about temporary failure? He was standing on the highest observation deck in all of Tokyo, and he couldn't wait to enjoy the beauty of the train derailment, the most beautiful fireworks of the afternoon in Scotland!

VIII.7...... There are five more stops, and the tram is about to cross the loop bridge!

- Thirty-two minutes before sunset, and the train stops at Minami Kabido Bridge Station for eleven minutes.

The daylight by the window was turning from gold to orange, and Yu Karasawa opened his eyes in the sinking sunset.

The 73 in the ear was powerless: [New permission unlocked detected - read memory, keyword: [sacrifice]. 】

"It's too late," Mr. Karasawa said, "and I'm already back." ”

He looked down to the right, and there was a cigarette between his index finger and finger, which had lit itself when he closed his eyes, and the burning fog rose.

He was burned by the cigarette butt that burned his fingers, and he crushed it on the table.

The sound of the helicopter wings became louder and louder, and finally it almost hung overhead, and Tang Zeyu's backtracking state was woken up by this sound.

Having walked through countless scorched earths, he was naturally familiar with it.

Tang Zeyu glanced up and muttered in disbelief: "No......"

The top of the tram has a sliding sunroof that makes it easy for the maintenance man to get on and off, but with his height, there is still some distance to reach.

Tang Zeyu immediately got up from his seat, looked left and right, and finally turned out a cleaner's empty bucket in the back of the car. He padded it to his feet and stretched open the skylight.

The sound of wings spinning instantly rang out in his ears, and he could almost hear the sound of the air being cut through the sound of the rumbling engine. The huge machinery blocked out the sunlight and cast black shadows on him, and the setting sun illuminated the sky into a sea of golden red.

The helicopter is close in front of you, and the dark fuselage is like a black whale swimming freely in the sea. The last rays of the setting sun were reflected on the side of Tang Zeyu's face, his pupils dilated at that moment, and he saw the dark green eyes of the cabin door, and the evening breeze blew his long silver hair and the hem of his black coat.

- The drifting clouds in the sky were still, and the long wind on the roof of the car entered in that second.
