Model worker and his little darling

Tokyo Tower staff were directing the evacuation. Hirai and Conan went against the flow of people and found the elevator stuck in mid-air. There was only a gap of about twenty centimeters, with an empty elevator shaft below.

At this moment, a long-haired woman was standing on a chair, calling out to her daughter repeatedly. But no matter how she called, the little girl was too frightened to move.

Pingqing walked to the elevator, looked around, and thought he could go in.

“Brother Pingqing, lift me up, I can fit into this gap.”

Takagi, who had just arrived, overheard this and exclaimed, "No, this is too dangerous!"

Pingqing simply picked up Conan, stood on the chair, and stuffed Conan inside, figuring nothing would happen anyway.

The little girl huddled in the corner, clutching her doll. Seeing Conan enter, she instinctively shrank back, about to burst into tears.

"Little sister, this bear is so cute! What's its name?"

Conan was talking to the little girl when she came out.

Pingqing handed the little girl to her mother, and was just about to pull Conan out when—

"bomm!"

The elevator shook violently, and in an instant, all the cables broke, causing the elevator to plummet.

The elevator suddenly stopped halfway through its journey. Conan sighed, "Heijiro-nii, it was so dangerous just now, why did you jump in?"

"How could I possibly leave you alone in such a dangerous place?"

He saved 1200 million people in Tokyo; will the Metropolitan Police Department award him another prize?

"Hirai, Conan, how are you two?"

"We're fine. The elevator cables all snapped, triggering the emergency stop system here. We're probably somewhere between the observation deck and the building's roof now."

After saying that, Heiji handed his phone to Conan and began checking the situation in the elevator.

After a thorough inspection, nothing was found.

Pingqing looked up at the ceiling, stepped on the elevator handrail, pushed open the partition, and used the edge of the partition to climb up.

"Conan, Officer Takagi, do you have two pieces of bad news to hear?"

"What's wrong, Brother Pingqing?"

"There's a bomb here. The tremor just now triggered the mercury column inside. Once the liquids on both sides mix, we'll all be going to meet our maker."

"What's the other bad news?"

Hearing Takagi's anxious voice, Hirai sighed, "There's a listening device installed here, so that thug must be listening to us right now."

Conan's pupils contracted; the situation was now complicated.

"There's no way to get the bomb disposal team here right now, so I'll have to defuse the bomb myself. Officer Takagi, could you please have someone bring over the necessary bomb disposal tools?"

Defusing a bomb is a piece of cake for him.

However, the play must continue.

Soon, the explosive ordnance disposal team was in place, and Ping Qing was particularly happy and a little excited to receive the bomb disposal kit.

At that moment, the bomb disposal officer's instructions came through Conan's phone: "We can begin the dismantling operation. Just patiently follow our instructions, and it will be over quickly. In one minute, we will turn off the elevator lights. Please put on your..."

"Mmm, okay... okay... mmm, all done..."

While giving a perfunctory answer, Ping Qing skillfully put on infrared night vision goggles and deftly dismantled the bomb's casing. With a swift stroke, he cut the bomb's fuses one by one.

Seeing Hirai's skillful movements, Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed Hirai knew how to defuse this bomb.

"It can't be cut anymore."

"What? You can't cut that wire? But now there are only three wires left. The yellow wire connecting to the LCD screen, the white wire connecting to the mercury column, and the black wire connecting to the remote control by the criminals. As long as you cut them, the bomb will stop working."

Hearing the anxious voice of the officer giving remote command, Ping Qing looked at the words appearing on the screen, smiled, and thought, "Interesting."

"Because this bomb is the same as it was three years ago, there will be a large fireworks display after this game, and you will see a warning three seconds before it explodes."

"What?" Upon hearing Ping Qing's words, the surrounding police officers fell silent.

"But how can we let you sacrifice yourselves... that damned thug."

Pingqing flexed his wrist. Sacrifice? That's impossible.

Even if he were to die, he wouldn't die in a place like this.

Conan waved to Hira, who moved cautiously, talking to Conan while taking his phone.

"Conan, this time we're going to become heroes. Just like Inspector Hagiwara seven years ago and Inspector Matsuda three years ago."

Conan glared at Hirai, thinking, "Even at a time like this, he's still in the mood for jokes."

"Conan, it's a pity, you're still so young, you haven't really seen the world yet."

"Sacrificing the two of us can save more people, so it's worth it. Brother Pingqing, do you regret it?"

"I regret it now. Why was I so foolish as to come and save you?"

……

Ping Qing's voice was tinged with laughter, and the outside fell even more silent upon hearing their conversation.

Trapped inside are a young boy whose life is just beginning and a young man with a bright future.

Now, he's going to ruin his prime years because of a despicable bomber.

Pingqing looked at his phone, which displayed Conan's deduction from earlier.

The code begins with "Major Leagues," referring to Major League Baseball in the United States, implying that the following content needs to be translated into English. "Extra" becomes "EXTRA"; "Earned Run Average" is a baseball term, abbreviated as "ERA." "Useless" means removing ERA from "EXTRA," leaving "XT." "Reverse" means reversing the order of "XT" to form the Chinese character "文," which corresponds to the school symbol on the map. This indicates that the bomb's location is another school.

Wow, Conan's brain works really fast. He figured out the code in the time it takes to defuse a bomb.

There are so many schools in Tokyo, which one is currently experiencing a large gathering of people?

Conan's pupils contracted; Teitan High School was holding a mock exam.

Xiaolan!

After a brief exchange, the two contacted Inspector Megure and asked him to check on the situation at Teitan High School. They continued to wait for the bomber's final instructions, just in case.

The passage of time filled Heishi with a strange sense of excitement.

It's only exciting at the very last second, isn't it?

Amuro Tooru, mingling in the crowd, was feeling conflicted. After receiving the bomber's fax, he began searching for possible locations where the bomb could be planted.

By the time they arrived at Tokyo Tower, the explosion had already occurred.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was Ito Heikiyo and Edogawa Conan who were trapped inside, all in an effort to save a little girl.

Soon, the final moment arrived.

"Conan, do you believe me?"

"Of course!"

A message appeared on the screen: EVIT.
