Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1079 1079 [Really just a peripheral member? 】

   "Then, a few of you and I are here waiting for the next elevator. The others follow Mr. Fengjian to take the safe passage down to the 60th floor, and then go to Building B from the Liaison Bridge!"

   A group of people obeyed the dispatch and quickly ran away.

  The Mumu police department just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw Ruyuefengshui—the white-haired Chinese painting master, who actually followed Hidehiko Kazama and wanted to join the climbing group.

   "That..." The Mumu police department wanted to remind him to take the elevator, and the number of people was right at this time.

   However, just now, Ruyuefengshui said angrily, as if he knew what he was thinking, "I'm not a weak old man!"

  "..." The Mumu Police Department looked at the white-haired grandfather with a cane in one hand, and said embarrassedly, "...Okay, then you can take the stairs."

   At the same time, he made a color to Takagi Shibuya and asked him to take more care of him on the road. Now the situation is urgent, it is not the time to compare stubbornness with the stubborn old man.

  …

   The first elevator that departed went down quickly.

   But he failed to reach the first floor all the way, but stopped suddenly on the way.

   - Someone pressed the boarding button from outside.

  Conan and a few children were startled for a while, then looked up quickly.

  As the elevator door opened, outside, a woman with a baby walked in. But the moment she stepped on the elevator, the elevator suddenly sounded an overweight alarm.

   The woman was startled and retracted her feet again.

  Conan looked up at the child in her arms and sighed inwardly. Although he didn't know why a person suddenly appeared here, he quickly got out of the elevator:

   "Come in. I know the way. I'll take the bridge to Building B later."

  ——Escape route map is posted on each floor as required. Conan was bored before, so he glanced at it and wrote it down. Didn't expect it to work at this time.

   As soon as the other children saw Conan go out, they also followed subconsciously, and the elevator suddenly came out empty.

  The woman hesitated for a moment and walked into the elevator with the child in her arms: "Thank you."

  …

  The elevator door is closed and descends again.

  The children watched the elevator leave with a smile. The moment the iron door was closed, the light disappeared, and in the power-off building, the corridor was in deep darkness.

   The smiles of several real children slowly became stiff:

   "...Why is it so dark?!"

   "Is it an illusion, I feel like my feet are getting hot..."

   "Calm down, how can you burn your feet, it's still a long way from the 40th floor of the fire."

  Conan fumbled for his watch while comforting a few classmates.

   was about to turn on the flashlight function attached to it, when a beam of light suddenly shot from the side.

   - A cute little girl who appeared out of nowhere and flashed a flashlight at them.

   After a while, she made the voice of Haibara Ai:

"What exactly is going on?"

   "...Xiao Ai?!" Several children were suddenly surprised, followed by some doubts, "Didn't you say that you are not feeling well today and you want to rest at home?"

  …

  Haihara Ai sneaked into the building long before the banquet started, preparing to carry out the anonymous escape mission that allowed her to "play in the building".

   Having said that, Haibara Ai actually doesn’t know what the Anonymous people need her to do. So just now, she had to wear her own disguise and wander around the building carefully.

  Wandering around, I discovered the abnormality of the elevator—the freight elevator with a hidden location suddenly descended, and then stopped on the 50th floor, as if someone had sneaked in there.

   At that time, Haiyuan Ai stared at the electronic screen and hesitated for a moment, remembering what Miss Anonymous said last night, "see you tomorrow", and couldn't help but vigilantly sneaked closer, wanting to see who was on the 50th floor. Although this move was a bit dangerous, she always felt that this building was actually under the control of an anonymous person, so be cautious, it shouldn't be a big problem.

  However, after walking the 50th floor, although there was indeed no accident, Haibara Ai did not find anyone who had taken the elevator.

   She slowly realized that the person who came up by the elevator may not be on this floor anymore. In addition, it is also possible that those people randomly pressed the buttons near the target floor in order to prevent being tracked, and then walked the last few steps in person, and did not come in at all.

   So next, between "going upstairs to look for it" and "going down to look for it", Haibara Ai hesitated for a moment and chose to go upstairs.

   She still couldn't find the person she was looking for, but found that the building suddenly exploded, and there seemed to be voices in the distance in the safe passage.

   Haibara Ai did not dare to stay in the passage any longer, and hid in the passage as close as possible.

   After hiding for a while, she saw the opening and closing elevator, and a few familiar classmates walking down the elevator.

  …

   It didn't take long for the elementary school students to meet, and Conan also found the flashlight button.

   He clicked the light, and looked at each other on both sides, Ayumi looked at Huiyuan Ai's head in surprise: "Xiao Ai, your hair... how did it become like this?"

  Haihara mournfully curled the end of her curly hair with her fingers, and coaxed the child gently: "I think black looks good today."

   paused, and her expression became a little more serious: "What happened just now?"

   "The building was bombed."

  Conan summed up what happened above in a few words, and remembered the business: "Go to the bridge as soon as possible!"

  Ayumi nodded, but she looked at the dark passage, and heard the vague ambulance bell outside, and pulled the corner of Haibara Ai's clothes with some fear:

   "However, the 60th floor is still far from here, why don't we wait for the next elevator."

"No—according to what you said, the next shift will definitely be full, unless you get off work, but then, if the fire on the 40th floor spreads horizontally to the sightseeing elevator, the road will be blocked, so it's better to go directly to the 60th floor. bridge."

   Haibara Ai pulled her decisively and walked towards the safe passage near the bridge.

   Halfway through, she remembered something: "By the way, is Jiang Xia all right?"

  ——I don’t know if it’s an illusion. When Hui Yuanai fled in the safe passage before, he always felt that he had vaguely heard Jiang Xia’s voice.

   "It should be fine!" Ayumi just discovered another magical effect of Jiang Xia today, and paid more attention to this handsome but cruel elder brother, "I just heard that the foreigner brother was on the phone with Jiang Xia brother."

  "..." Foreigner brother?

   She wondered for a moment, and then realized that Ayumi was talking about Toru Amuro.

  Haihara Ai: "..." If I remember correctly, the boss of the detective agency always exudes a strong sense of organization - tonight is another confrontation between the organization and the anonymous?

  ...how did Jiang Xia get involved again.

   Is Anonymous paying too much attention to him, or is Jiang Xia in the organization...

  Haihara Ai's heart filled with countless thoughts in an instant, and quickly suppressed the messy thoughts.

   It's no use worrying now. She thought about the friendly and somewhat weird attitude of Anonymous when she treated high school detectives.
