Xiaolan nodded slightly.

——In fact, she just noticed the fire hose in the fire extinguisher box and originally thought about whether she could use it to swing to the lower floors and then break in through the window, but Lin Jiashu rejected this suggestion.

It is not realistic to do this with the weight of two adults. Another reason is that the danger is too high. The behavior in the original work was chosen because there was really no other way.

At this moment, thick black smoke began to spread towards this side in the corridor.

With this comes warmer air.

Lin Jiashu began to sweat. He decisively pulled off the tie tied under his shirt collar and slightly unbuttoned it. "It's a headache. If I keep sweating, I feel like my hair will get a little messy."

"...Why is Jiashu still concerned about this at this time?"

"Haha, didn't you notice? I've always been very concerned about my image."

Lin Jiashu said this with a smile, when suddenly there was a noise from the phone in his arms.

He pressed the answer button, and then heard Gin's cold voice that seemed to be suppressing his anger:

"What's the situation now?"

"You know?"

"Answer me."

"...Well, I'm not seriously injured, but the situation isn't very good."

"I'm already mobilizing the helicopter, but it'll probably take another twenty minutes to get to your location."

"Twenty minutes... There's already a fire here. Whether we can hold out until then is uncertain. Besides—" Lin Jiashu looked towards the broken section of the bridge, "No, there's no way a helicopter can land here, and it's probably difficult to get close. Even using a ladder would be difficult."

"..."

Gin's face looked extremely ugly.

He came out to kill someone and test a bomb, but ended up killing his most capable subordinate with his own hands!

Such an injustice made Gin's blood pressure soar, and he almost wanted to shoot in the street to vent his anger - Cointreau was different from the other members. His value was far beyond that of those people who could only attribute the harm to their own people because of their own incompetence. Also, because he was only a "latecomer", Gin was quite tolerant of him in this regard.

Vodka, who already knew the whole story, was feeling uneasy.

It’s over.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!

Although he had the tacit consent of his elder brother, he was the one who pressed the detonator.

If Jundu really couldn't help but die there, his future life in the organization would probably be over.

But if Jundu survived, he might even take revenge on me...

Vodka's head was covered in cold sweat under his hat, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Gin was frantically thinking of a solution.

In fact, he had even planned to send someone to drive a faster armed helicopter over there - even if he was exposed, it didn't matter. Jundu's ability was far more valuable than his identity. At worst, he could just be removed from society.

"But if there's a parachute, maybe it could be possible—as long as you can get it to me."

"it is good."

After hearing this response, Gin agreed without hesitation and hung up the phone directly.

He didn't say anything, and Vodka didn't even dare to breathe.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Hayashi Yoshiki immediately received a call from Inspector Megure, who also said that a helicopter rescue had been sent, and Hayashi Yoshiki gave the same reply - the area where the twin-tower skyscrapers are located is very open, and if it is a parachute, it is indeed feasible.

As for the twenty minutes mentioned by Gin, Lin Jiashu could only say that it was more than enough.

He would not easily put himself in danger:

【Moon Peak Water】

【Cause of death: Burned】

【3月21号晚上20点53分,独自来到双塔摩天大楼第45层A2区域内部房间里】

[At 21:37:42, he was engulfed by the flames that spread into the room.]

【Kuto Daichi】

【Cause of death: Burned】

【3月21号晚上20点53分,独自来到双塔摩天大楼第45层A1区域会场中】

[At 21:45:42, he was engulfed by the flames that spread into the room.]

If the fire from the 44th floor was to reach this side, it would have to burn down the A1 and A2 positions first - so before the time recorded in the Death Note arrived, Hayashi Yoshiki and Xiaolan would be safe.

Lin Jiashu felt no burden at all about using Ruyuefeng water and another consumable to buy himself some time.

Not to mention the consumables, in fact, when Ruzuki Minemizu said that he wanted to go downstairs by himself, he had already made up his mind to die - the surprise prepared by Tokiwa Mio gave him a considerable shock, and once he went to prison, he would never have the chance to draw Mount Fuji again. This is why he did not hesitate to commit suicide by taking poison after being exposed by Conan in the original work.

Also, even if there were no calls from Gin and Megure Juzo, he had actually made other preparations.

"Twenty minutes at most... As long as the fire doesn't reach us within these twenty minutes, we should be able to be rescued."

Lin Jiashu said, looking at Xiaolan's face, and asked gently: "Are you nervous?"

"Um……"

The girl nodded slightly.

"Then we can only pray."

Lin Jiashu said this while looking up at the sky.

The moonlight tonight is quite clear.

"Xiaolan has always had good luck, so please rely on your luck this time... We will definitely be safe."

221

Chapter 221: Let’s go eat ice cream later? (4k)

Because of the distance, this time the police helicopter arrived ahead of the winery.

The roar of propellers slowly approached.

The blue and white helicopter slowly descended, and the wind pressure made it difficult for Lin Jiashu and Xiaolan, who were standing in the building, to open their eyes.

"No, because of the angle of the building, we can't lower the ladder to them!"

After the police officers on the helicopter tried hard to find a solution, they finally decided to give up this plan.

Upon hearing this news, Megure Jusan was silent for a moment, then said, "What's the distance? Can you throw a parachute over there?"

"should be no problem!"

"...Then let's toss it."

Megure Juzo wasn't sure whether Hayashi Yoshiki would use a parachute, but now he had no choice but to throw it away.

The fire upstairs could not be put out for the time being, and Xiaolan and Lin Jiashu were trapped there and unable to go up or down the stairs - judging from the thick smoke coming out from there, they could not survive until the fire department's rescue.

The heavy parachute was thrown into the 45th floor.

After confirming that Lin Jiashu could be successfully obtained, the police officers in the helicopter breathed a sigh of relief.

The helicopter then left.

In front of the broken connecting bridge on the 45th floor, only Lin Jiashu and Xiaolan were left again.

"Half the battle is over."

After checking the parachute bag and confirming that there was no problem, Lin Jiashu announced the good news to Xiaolan.

The girl nodded slightly.

She looked at the parachute bag that Lin Jiashu was holding up with a serious expression.

"Don't be too nervous, leave it to me."

Noticing her expression, Lin Jiashu said softly and laughed: "I won't let anything happen to you."

"You don't have to comfort me like that, Jiashu-nii."

"..."

"I think you, Jiashu, must be under a lot of pressure right now."

Xiaolan's tone was very gentle.

Standing in front of Lin Jiashu, she pursed her lips. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous, but she was obviously trying to hide it. She put her hands behind her back, leaned over as casually as possible, and smiled, "I can't help much, but Brother Jiashu has always been very capable, so there will be no problem!"

"Are you so confident in me?"

"Yeah! And even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter."

In the end, she showed a smile that was so bright that it could be called dazzling.

Lin Jiashu was stunned.

Then he smiled dumbly.

"Don't say such unlucky things at a time like this. I really trust in your luck, Ran."

"what!"

Xiaolan, realizing she was speechless, immediately covered her mouth.

She looked really cute. Lin Jiashu took off his suit jacket and threw it aside, then picked up the rope that was thrown over with the parachute.

"come on."

"Ok."

Xiaolan walked quickly to Lin Jiashu.

Because time was tight, the police could only prepare a single parachute, and it was a low-altitude parachute, so they needed to tie the two people together with a rope.

"Let's face each other. Be sure to hold me tight when the time comes. It will be safer this way."

"Ah."

In a critical situation, Xiaolan did not hesitate.

She stood in front of Lin Jiashu in a coquettish manner, but as the rope encircled the two of them and suddenly tightened, the moment she suddenly pressed close to Lin Jiashu—

The firm touch and warm body temperature made Xiaolan's face turn a little red.

Lin Jiashu seemed unaware of anything.

He just checked his body, and after making sure that it would not affect the movements of his limbs, he wrapped the rope around the body again... When the taut rope squeezed the two people's bodies very close, his movements suddenly paused.

Xiaolan noticed that his expression seemed stunned.

"What's wrong, Yoshiki-kun?"

"……nothing."

Lin Jiashu's voice was a little unnatural, but facing the blushing Xiaolan, he couldn't help but say: "I just suddenly realized that Xiaolan, whom I have always regarded as a sister, is actually a very outstanding woman."

"—!"

In an instant, Xiaolan's blush spread to her ears.

A wonderful woman...

What exactly did Jiashu-ge mean by this...?

The full chest was pressed hard against Lin Jiashu's body. The hot body temperature could be felt through the clothes, his breathing and that dazzlingly handsome face - it was the first time in her life that she had come into contact with a man at such a close distance, and the girl's heart was pounding.

At such a close distance, Brother Jiashu must have discovered it.

At this moment, Xiaolan felt that even if she looked away, she could not escape Jiashu's gentle gaze. She felt her back slightly tense and her heartbeat so fast that it made her feel numb.

In particular, she suddenly noticed Lin Jiashu approaching——

Slowly, almost touching her lips...

Xiaolan opened her mouth.

But just when their breathing became quite close, Lin Jiashu suddenly stopped.

As if he suddenly came to his senses, he stopped all his movements awkwardly.
