Chapter 374 To kill or not?

Chapter 374: Kill or not?

"Hey.. Haibara-san. Conan didn't take the elevator with us just now, but why didn't I even see the shadow of Xiaoxun?" Ayumi asked Shiho with a little worry on the first elevator. Just after I left, Shiho and the children took the first elevator to leave, and as luck would have it, the first elevator was overloaded the moment Conan got on it, so Shiho took the children downstairs first, leaving Conan to wait for the second elevator.

"It's okay, that idiot was just scared and went to the bathroom." Shiho mercilessly complained about the idiot who pushed her. "Let's go down first, so they can get on the next elevator faster. Kaoru and Edogawa will be down soon."

"Yeah... okay." Ayumi nodded.

"But, what's going on? How did this happen suddenly?" Yuan Tai said with a dissatisfied look on his face. "I haven't had the eel rice yet." At this time, Yuan Tai's casual complaint became a spice of the heavy atmosphere, making everyone in the elevator laugh softly. Shiho also raised her lips a little because of Yuan Tai's words, at least this could make her forget her fear for a short time.

Hey~
However, before the corners of her mouth fell, the elevator bell rang and the stairwell stopped at the 66th floor. The moment the elevator stopped, Shiho's heart trembled violently. She was afraid that the elevator door would open and a man in black would walk in. Fortunately, standing outside the elevator was a woman holding a baby, the mother of the child who slapped Xun's father to the podium, which made Shiho secretly relieved.

"Oh, sorry." The young mother saw that the elevator was full and consciously withdrew. However, now they were in the stage of evacuation. As the children of the Junior Detective Team looked at each other, and finally chose to walk out of the elevator. Seeing the children walk out, Shiho sighed in her heart and finally followed them out. There was no other way, because she would never let the children take risks, even though they might face a disaster if they got off the elevator now.

"Please take a seat first." Mitsuhiko gestured.

"This...but..." The young mother hesitated.

"It's okay, it's okay." Ayumi chuckled. "We can just walk from here to the connecting bridge on the 60th floor and take shelter in Building B."

"Well, see you downstairs." Yuan Tai waved to the person in front of him with a smile.

"Thank you, little ones." The young mother bowed deeply to the four children outside the elevator while holding her child. If she hadn't been holding the child in her arms, I believe she would have let the children go first. But... At this time, she didn't know what to say except thank you. She didn't even look up until the elevator closed. After all, this was a life-saving favor.

"Oh... This is terrible. It's so dark in here, we can't even see where we are." The moment the elevator closed, the three children panicked, because the closing of the elevator deprived them of the last light around them. All they could see at this moment were the stars outside the glass.

"Hey... Mitsuhiko, our illuminated watches have just been deposited." Yuantai said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Yeah, this is bad." Mitsuhiko also scratched his head. He only considered the safety of others but forgot about his own situation.

"So you should have thought of this before you got off the elevator." Shiho found it funny that the children had such an innocent sense of justice, so she took out her own illuminated watch and gave the children some comforting light.

"That's right, Haibara-san and Conan didn't participate in the game." Mitsuhiko was excited to see the light again. "Then, let's go."

"Be careful." Shiho said calmly, and then walked in front of the crowd, constantly scanning with the illuminated watch in her hand, hoping not to meet the guy in black clothes here. On the other hand, Shiho was also secretly worried, not knowing what the stubborn guy would do.

"Xun...you have to be careful too."

———————————Detective Conan the Movie 5 & Countdown to Heaven——————————

On the other side, Conan and his group were waiting for the second elevator and were standing in front of the elevator anxiously. Of course, only Sonoko was anxious. Although Xiaolan was a little worried, she didn't show it so obviously. Conan was thinking with his chin down.

"This explosion should have been done by the organization, including the explosion in the computer room, which can also be understood as an attempt to prevent Hara Jiaming from leaking the organization's information. The disappearance of the computer in Hara Jiaming's home can also be explained. After all, Kaoru said so." Conan kept talking to himself.

"But why? Why did they even blow up the electrical and mechanical room? What was the point of Gin pulling out all the power? If Kaoru's plan was successful, then did Gin have his eyes on Sonoko, whose hairstyle now looks very similar to Haibara? If that's the case..."

As he was talking, the elevator door in front of Conan had already opened. When the door opened, Conan was the first to step up. Looking out through the elevator glass, he saw a tall building opposite the elevator. At this point, Conan was sure of Gin's method.

Buzz... Buzz...

Before Conan could use the magnifying function of his glasses to see, his phone started to vibrate. He looked at the incoming call and saw it was from Kaoru.

"Where are you?."

"Is it convenient to talk?" I asked directly.

"No." Conan looked back at Xiaolan and lowered his voice.

"I'll count to three, two, one. Find a way to make Sonoko bow her head."

"Hey!"

"three.."

"But..."

"two.."

"I go..."

"one!"

"Sister Sonoko! Your panties are showing!"

"Nani?!"

Snap! ! ! ! The moment Yuanzi lowered her head, the elevator indicator key just behind her forehead broke into pieces. The elevator also stopped running because of the hissing sound inside the key and stopped between floors.

"Hey, what's up..."

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Before Conan finished his question, the other end of the phone had already hung up. At this time, Conan had time to open his binoculars and look across, but in the opposite building, Conan did not see anyone, there was only a sniper rifle that was left on the edge of the rooftop with a broken scope.

"call..."

Seeing this, Conan let out a long breath and relaxed. But he soon tensed up again. The sniper rifle shattered the glass and damaged the elevator, causing panic among the people in the elevator. He had to control the situation immediately, and at the same time, he had to cover up the situation and lead the people here to a safe place quickly.

"Sister Xiaolan, carry me up." Conan shouted, and Xiaolan, who had always trusted Conan, did not refute. She lifted Conan up immediately and let Conan overturn the ceiling of the elevator.

"Phew... Leave the escape to me." Conan reached out and grabbed Ran, who was already hanging on the ceiling, and kept saying in his mind, "Xun, you have to be careful over there too."

The third side of the camera, of course, was me lying on the roof at the same time. I had waited for a long time to lure Gin into the trap. I even aimed the sniper scope at Gin who was already on the opposite building, but I didn't dare to show the desire to shoot, let alone murderous intent.

Gin was famously cautious, and even the slightest hint of murderous intent was enough to make him react instantly. That kind of neurotic reaction speed, even though we were only about 500 yards away, was enough for him to avoid the bullet that shattered his head.

I was waiting for the moment when Gin showed a triumphant smile, which was also the few tenths of a second when he was most relaxed after firing the gun. Only then could I give him the fatal blow.

The center of the scope fell on the front of Gin's sniper rifle's scope. Through the faint light and Gin's formal aiming action, I determined that Sonoko had already entered the elevator. I immediately called the number I had dialed. Then, at the moment when Gin grinned, I issued an order, allowing Sonoko to avoid the fatal blow, and I also fired at Gin's scope. Only these few tenths of a second could allow Gin to completely relax his vigilance, and this shot could also break his scope.

"Ha, Gin, stop hiding behind the wall. I really want to see your surprised expression right now."

After destroying Gin's only weapon with one shot, I relaxed a little. As for why I didn't just kill him directly...

I was really afraid that if this shot knocked down Gin, Sister Bei would go crazy and seek revenge on me and Shiho. The reason is simple. Gin planned an assassination of this scale this time, and Vermouth could not have been unaware of it. If Gin died here, from Vermouth's perspective, Shirley's new knight is also a top killer. This would force Vermouth to be more cautious, and she would endlessly send people to search for us to avenge Gin. If Vermouth came to Beika City in person, not to mention that my hair color has changed a lot, but seeing Shiho's childhood appearance, it would be strange if Vermouth didn't recognize me. I can't afford such a risk at the moment. What's more, Ling is still in the organization...

So, as I said before, this time, it’s enough to give Gin some fun.

"Tsk tsk, aren't you coming out?" I aimed at the wall that Gin used as a cover and fired shot after shot. Generally speaking, with the penetrating power of a sniper rifle, the wall of a building like this can be penetrated in four or five shots, and that would be the time to force Gin out.

"..Damn, I got tricked!" Behind the wall, Gin was lying on the ground while counting the sound of bullets hitting the wall. His face was covered in blood. If it weren't for his sense of crisis that made him tilt his head, the broken fragments of the scope would have been embedded in his eye socket. Not only that, the impact of the bullet hitting the gun also indirectly broke two of Gin's fingers. Although he was not seriously injured at this time, he was still in a very embarrassing situation.

"Brother! What happened to you?" Vodka noticed through the phone that his brother's condition seemed to be not right and asked hurriedly.

"Retreat! Quick!" Gin painfully bent his fingers back into place while shouting into the headset. "Detonate the bomb on the roof! The communication bridge has also been blown up, retreat! Meet me at the building opposite!"

"Yes...Yes!" Vodka responded hastily, and then quickly detonated the bomb on the roof to prevent helicopter rescue and the bomb to prevent escape using the communication bridge.

boom! ! ! !

A huge roar rang in my ears, and I lowered my head immediately. The sudden explosion behind me really scared me. I didn't realize there was a bomb here. To be precise, I didn't have time to find it. When I left Shiho and ran to the top of the building, it took more than three minutes. I couldn't guarantee that the elevator could complete the second round within three minutes. I hurriedly put up the sniper rifle, and when I saw Gin hadn't made any sniper preparations yet, I felt relieved.

After all, it was a bomb developed by the organization, and its power was really scary. Fortunately, the bomb was placed near the central apron on the top of the building, igniting the spare oil barrels there. Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest, so my life was not in danger. The stone fragments that flew out of the explosion only pierced my leg, slightly depriving me of my freedom of movement.

I shook my head. I got up again, but when I looked through the scope, Gin had already rushed to the stairwell of the opposite building. I didn't have time to aim, so I could only symbolically fire a shot. It hit the side of the stairwell, causing Gin to roll and hide inside. Then I lost sight of the target.

"Tsk, old fox, you're well prepared." I spat to the side. Then I put away my rifle and limped down the stairwell. Let's get out of here as soon as possible, the fire is about to spread.

As I walked down, I took out my cell phone to call Shiho to confirm her safety, but I saw a text message from Shiho. It seemed that the explosion just now also alarmed her. She was a little worried, so she sent me a message but didn't dare to call to disturb me.

"What's wrong?" I called and Shiho answered the phone quickly.

"Are you okay over there?" Shiho asked first.

"Yeah. Gin ran away." I said calmly. "This time the old guy will have a hard time. Hey, where are you now? Are you safe?"

"Hmm..." Shiho's voice was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" I asked hurriedly when I heard that Shiho's voice didn't sound right.

"The communication bridge just collapsed due to an explosion."

"Ah, it's okay, I have a way to leave here." I said calmly, just kidding, it's just that the communication bridge collapsed, how could I be trapped.

"No..." Shiho's voice was somewhat helpless. "My children and I were trapped here due to some accidents. We are now at the communication bridge on the 60th floor."

"What?!"
