"Bang!"
Outside the room, Toru Amuro and Reina Mizuna, who had followed the signal from the detective badge according to Dr. Agasa's instructions, were standing on both sides of the door.
The two men held pistols and looked at each other. Toru Amuro shot and broke the door lock, then stepped forward and bumped hard, and the two quickly rushed into the room.
"Hands up! Don't even think about...huh?"
Before they finished shouting, the two of them took a closer look and saw that the room was empty. There was no Kiyoko Igarashi as they had guessed before, nor the dozen or so dangerous elements who were fully armed and waiting as they expected.
[Could it be that I fell into a trap? 】
Just when this idea came into their minds, Conan, who was sitting tied up in the corner of the room and disguised as Haibara Ai, shouted:
"Mr. Amuro, I'm here."
"..."
"Huh...huh..."
On the other side of Edo Street, somewhere near the clock tower, Shuichi Akai, who was covered in injuries, covered his shoulders and walked slowly along the path behind the house.
In the previous rocket launcher of Plum Wine, although he tried his best to avoid the center of the explosion at the last moment, he was still affected by the impact of the explosion. Not only did he suffer a lot of injuries, he also briefly fainted for a few minutes. .
After waking up, Shuichi Akai quickly left the clock tower dragging his seriously injured body without any hesitation.
His intuition told him that there was a very high probability that the person he was sniping with would come immediately to confirm his life or death. If he continued to stay there and was blocked by the opponent in the clock tower, in his current state he would be Really in danger.
So no matter what, he must leave here first.
As for his mother...
The explosion on the clock tower was too obvious, and Mary must have noticed it. With his mother's personality, she might not come here in person, but Carly and other operators should be moving closer now.
Perhaps this can be used to ambush the person who is sniping against him...
Thinking of this, Akai Shuichi shook his head and smiled to himself.
But unfortunately, his communication equipment and mobile phone were damaged in the explosion just now, and now there is no way to contact Carly and the others.
Just bide your time and wait for the opportunity to move...
"boom!"
At this moment, there were sudden bursts of violent explosions behind Akai Shuichi. He looked back and found that the clock tower not far behind him was moving toward the other side of the street with a huge sound. Slowly fell sideways.
"boom!"
There was another loud noise, but this time it was not an explosion, but the huge impact sound made when the clock tower collapsed completely and fell on the surrounding streets and houses.
The ground shook like an earthquake, and after the dozens of meters high clock tower fell, it stirred up dust all over the sky around it.
[I see, you actually blew up the clock tower directly? 】
With his back against the wall to steady his body, Akai Shuichi watched the clock tower fall to the ground from a distance and quickly figured out the process.
It is estimated that when the person who was sniping against him arrived here, he wanted to confirm his life or death, but was worried about being ambushed by him and did not want to risk entering the clock tower to check.
So he came up with this simple and crude method to directly detonate the bottom floor of the clock tower, forcing the clock tower to tilt and collapse.
In this way, no matter whether he is dead or alive, as long as he remains in that tower, it will definitely be a dead end.
This is really... As expected of a member of the black organization, his method of doing things is always so violent.
Fortunately, Akai Shuichi didn't think of squatting in the tower to ambush and counterattack before, otherwise he would have become a "meat pie" in the ruins now.
He complained silently in his heart, and just when Shuichi Akai turned around to leave, he suddenly stopped again and turned back to look in the direction of the clock tower.
etc!
It's true that he escaped, but Carly, who is likely to come to support him, doesn't know this yet!
Now that the clock tower has collapsed, if Carly can't contact him, she will definitely find a way to come over to check the situation. It would be okay if the sniper of the organization left, but if she is still ambushing there...
"Tsk!"
Realizing this, Akai Shuichi quickly turned around and rushed towards the clock tower.
"..."
When Carly directed the rest of the action team to arrive near the clock tower, the building, which was dozens of meters high, had collapsed to the ground. The masonry walls completely smashed the street buildings in the direction of the collapse into ruins. The dust that was stirred up in the sky had gradually dispersed.
"The target is probably not far away. First occupy the commanding heights nearby and advance carefully." Hiding behind a nearby house, Carly ordered through the communicator.
"Roger! There is nothing unusual in the left block."
Under her orders, various action teams took action, spreading out and occupying the commanding heights of the houses in the area near the clock tower.
Soon, reports from each team came one after another from Carly's communicator.
"There is nothing unusual about the north side neighborhood."
"The neighborhood on the right side...is...nothing abnormal."
【Um? 】
In the communicator, there was suddenly a harsh sound of electricity. This strange noise came very quickly and went away equally quickly. It disappeared before Carly could react.
"There's nothing unusual about the south side neighborhood either."
In the communicator, the reports from other action teams came again. The voices were normal and there was no sign of interference.
[Is it a problem with the communication equipment? 】
Although she was a little confused about the noise just now, Carly didn't have time to think too much. Her top priority now was to confirm the situation in the clock tower.
Although she didn't think Shuichi Akai would die inside like this, but Shuichi Akai had been unable to be contacted after the previous explosion. If she didn't confirm it with her own eyes, she would be really uneasy...
Therefore, even if she knew that plum wine was probably still lurking nearby, she had to risk the danger and command those people to come over to confirm the situation.
It's not a big problem, just be cautious...
What's more, she herself is still some distance away from the clock tower and is not too close to it.
"Team 1, approach the clock tower and confirm the condition of the ruins." Putting aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, Carly ordered again.
"receive."
As her order was issued, an action team from the neighborhood near the clock tower began to approach the ruins under the cover of the surrounding streets.
At the same moment, not far from Carly and these operators, Meijiu, who was hiding in a house, suddenly laughed when he looked at several signal sources reflected on the special computer in front of him.
"Ahaha, I found you."
