People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"So, the result of your heroic act of going to check the situation is that Conan, Mr. Asakawa Yu, and I are all trapped in the elevator, isn't that right?"

Outside, Officer Sato, who had been chatting with Akemi, was now on the phone with a look of utter despair.

"I'm sorry..." Takagi apologized sincerely.

Seeing this, Officer Sato didn't dwell on the matter, but continued to ask:

"So, are you sure the perpetrator really didn't plant a bomb in that elevator?"

When Officer Sato asked him that question, Takagi finally realized the meaning behind what Asakawa Hayao and Conan had just said.

However, since they haven't finished their investigation yet, and Conan has only just gone upstairs, Officer Takagi is unable to give Officer Sato a clear answer.

"I'm planning to go up to the elevator myself later, maybe..."

"No! You mustn't come up here!"

"Ok?"

Conan's shout interrupted Takagi's words.

Then, Conan said with a serious expression, "Because the mercury column has been activated!"

!!!

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene froze, and Asakawa Yuya frowned, his eyes gradually turning cold.

On the other hand, upon hearing the words "mercury column," Officer Sato was instantly reminded of some unpleasant memories.

"If the ball inside gets even a slight vibration, it will roll. If it touches that line, I'm doomed."

Officer Matsuda's words echoed in her mind, making her heart race even more.

Akemi and Ai Haibara, who were standing next to her, were no exception.

When Akemi heard the word "mercury column" on Officer Sato's phone call, she almost lost her balance, and Ai Haibara also became serious.

Because now it's not just Conan, Asakawa Yuya is also trapped inside.

If that bomb were to actually detonate, the consequences would be...

Akemi dared not think any further, and quickly picked up her phone, anxiously preparing to call Asakawa Yu.

On the other side, while everyone was extremely tense, Officer Takagi looked puzzled.

"Conan, what is a column of mercury used for?"

However, it wasn't Conan who answered him, but Asakawa Yu standing beside him. He said:

"That's part of the bomb detonator, which means there's a bomb hidden in the ceiling of this elevator right now!"

“That’s right.” Conan nodded, picking up where Asakawa Yu left off, and said, “And judging from the size of this bomb, if it really explodes, the Tokyo Tower will be reduced to dust!”

"Huh?! You...you mean the bomb is...right on the elevator ceiling?!"

As Conan's voice faded, Officer Takagi finally realized why they were so tense.

But Officer Takagi, unconvinced, persisted, asking, "Conan... Conan, you're not mistaken, are you?"

"Yes, because I've seen a lot of bombs like that on TV before."

Conan began to explain, "If the liquid on both sides stays on one side, it's fine. But if it mixes with the other side, it will become a very powerful bomb."

[With Death here, what are you afraid of?]

[Don't panic, Takagi-kun. I, Asakawa Yu, am here. And if all else fails, there's always Conan. The protagonist's halo is no joke.]

So how did you get up there?

Drop drop! ! !

Just as Conan was talking to Inspector Takagi and the others, Asakawa Yu's phone rang.

Click!

I turned on my phone and pressed the answer button. Mingmei's worried voice came through the phone.

"Boss! I just heard that, there's a bomb, isn't there? You're still inside, so I shouldn't have agreed to let you go up in the first place!"

A barrage of greetings came from Akemi, and in her anxious voice, Asakawa Yu could also hear a faint sob.

For a moment, Asakawa Yu felt her heartbeat slow down.

I clearly promised myself that I wouldn't do anything that would worry her...

"Now..."

"Do not worry……"

"Ok?"

Akemi wanted to say something more, fearing the bomb might explode at any moment, but when she heard Asakawa Yu speak, she couldn't help but stop.

Seeing that Akemi had regained some of her composure, Asakawa Yu spoke in her gentle tone:

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely. Like I said, as long as you still love me, I will definitely come back to you alive. So, believe me, okay?"

There was a sudden silence on Akemi's end. Asakawa Yu didn't know what had happened; he only knew that he needed to give Akemi some time.

On the other hand, Akemi was not completely relieved when she heard what Asakawa Yu said.

Her hands gripped the phone tightly, as if she wanted to crush it, and her slightly trembling body showed that she was not at peace.

But she still gritted her teeth, trying hard to hold back her tears, and answered softly:

"Okay! I...I believe you, so you absolutely can't break your promise, okay?"

Ai Haibara stood beside her sister, her face showing a bitter expression.

She could clearly sense Akemi's unease, but there was nothing she could do to comfort her; at that moment, all words of comfort were futile.

"Okay, then it's a deal. Whoever lies is a dog."

"Pfft!" Asakawa Yu suddenly said this, making Akemi burst into laughter through her tears.

After exchanging a few more words, Asakawa Yu hung up the phone first.

drop!

After putting his phone back in his pocket, Asakawa Yu looked up.

Conan and Officer Takagi were looking at him with serious expressions. They had remained silent while Asakawa Yu was on the phone.

"But Brother Asakawa, do you have a way to defuse this bomb?"

After Conan's explanation, and understanding the danger of the bomb, Officer Takagi felt a chill run down his spine.

Now they don't even have the chance to wait for rescue. The only hope is that Asakawa Yu can defuse the bomb.

But in Officer Takagi's view, this was ultimately just wishful thinking.

After all, although Asakawa Yu is indeed very skilled compared to others, bomb disposal is not something that can be learned casually.

Without systematic learning, there is simply no...

"Yes, I should be able to."

Rumble!

In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck Officer Takagi's head, leaving him completely stunned.

Seriously, bro? We were just asking casually, and you're really going to take it seriously?!

At this moment, Officer Takagi could only say that comparing yourself to others can sometimes be incredibly frustrating.
