Conan: The Mechanic

Chapter 270: --Tokyo Tower

That night, the Metropolitan Police Department came with a not-so-good news-after a detailed inspection, they did not find a bomb in any of the internal structures of Tokyo Tower, including the elevator. Although they are still tracking whether the bomb was placed in the structure outside the Tokyo Tower viewing area, it seems that the possibility of the attackers targeting Tokyo Tower has been reduced to almost zero.

However, all members of the detective team chose to take leave at Chiba's request - after all, they still couldn't rule out the possibility that the school that the big bomb was going to hit at 3 o'clock in the afternoon was Tedan Elementary School.

So, since there are no bombs in Tokyo Tower, and there may be bombs elsewhere, where is the safest place to spend the time of the explosion?

. . . 9:20 am the next day

Take the Toei Subway Toei Line 12 (Author: After 1999, the line was renamed the Tokyo Loop Line by popular vote, but then Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara renamed it the Oedo Line) to Akabane After the bridge station, a five-minute walk, the red and white Tokyo Tower appeared in front of Chiba and Haibara Ai.

"Have you been here before?" Haibara asked sadly.

"I haven't been here," Qianyu shook her head. "That's why I brought you here to watch."

"Is that a dog statue?" Ai Haibara suddenly looked at a group of stone statues beside the tower and asked curiously.

"The Statue of the Hakutai Dogs," Qianyu explained. "When the Japanese Antarctic Exploration Team was forced to retreat due to the weather in 1958, they abandoned 15 Katai dogs. But when they returned the following year, they found that there were actually two more named 'Taro' and ' Jiro's Katai Inu survived. So at that time, the Society for the Protection of Animals hired a sculptor from Hachiko, a loyal dog, to make this statue for these fifteen Katai Inu, and finally placed it here."

"So that's what happened." Hai Yuanai pondered.

In order to support the tower body as high as 332.6 meters, the Tokyo Tower itself has a very large opening of the four tower feet, so there is a four-story Tokyo Tower in the center of the four tower feet.

"One thousand yen..." Holding two tickets, Qianyu pouted and threw it into her schoolbag. "Forget it, the price is barely acceptable... Huiyuan, which one are you going to see first?"

"Hmm..." Hai Yuanai glanced at the street sign thoughtfully. "Go first...how about this?"

She pointed to the sign of the aquarium.

"Tsk," Qianyu raised her eyebrows. "Okay, but there is actually an aquarium here..."

"And since you can call yourself an aquarium, the content will not be too shabby." Ai Haibara is also looking forward to it.

but. . .

"Really?" When the two strolled into the aquarium to the soothing music in the aquarium, Chiba was taken aback by the showcases on the right - not because these showcases were like those in a typical aquatic store. This kind of thing is because of the fish cabinet, but because of the contents of the exhibition water cabinet.

"Amphibians?" Haibara Ai also frowned, looking at the tortoise slowly crawling on the small stone island inside. "Isn't this an aquarium?"

"Perhaps they included amphibians as aquatic animals?" Qian Yu's mouth twitched. "Let's look ahead, there seem to be normal fish ahead."

The two walked forward together and slowly came to the area marked with tropical fish of the sea, however. . .

"Uh..." Qian Yu looked at the sign and was speechless for a long time. "coralreeffish? So is this a tropical fish or a coral reef fish?" (Tropical fish like acidic sea water, while coral reef fish are used to weakly alkaline water because they live in coral reef areas...)

"What kind of translation is this..." Haibara Ai also sighed. "Too lame!"

Although there was no big problem with the sign at the back, it was still criticized by Haibara Ai and Chiba who were quite disappointed because of their high expectations.

"That is to say, the last Japanese-style courtyard is quite well done," Haibara Ai said speechlessly after walking out. "And that goldfish showcase."

"The others are a lot worse than what you could see in Xu Shengyi's underwater restaurant before," Qian Yu also had a dull expression on her face. "After all, the hardware limitations of Tokyo Tower are here, and it is unlikely to be compared with that kind of place."

"Let's go up and have a look first," Haibara Ai suggested. "After reading it, come down and visit this building."

"Yes." Qianyu nodded.

Today is Monday, so there are not many people. When Chiba and Haibara Ai came to the elevator to the 150-meter-high observation deck, they found that there was no one there at all.

"Even if the elevator just went up, it means that there are not many people today." Qian Yu said with great interest. "Maybe you can get a very leisurely viewing space on it."

"But it will take a while for this elevator to come down," Haibara Ai looked at the elevator floor. "I'm going to get a commemorative coin first."

"Commemorative coins?" Qianyu was stunned, and when she looked in the direction Haibara Ai was heading, she realized that there was a commemorative coin pressing machine lying in the corner of the wall not far away from them - this is a kind of action by turning the handle manually. The machine is powered to hold the commemorative coins, and the machine apparently has two handles at different heights to accommodate adults and children. "I didn't even find this one here...I'll have one later."

"Yeah." Haibara Ai put a 500-yen coin into the coin slot, then put her hand on the handle of the coin press and turned the handle.

Just as Chiba was walking towards Haibara Ai, her hand was suddenly blocked by a powerful force.

"Ah!" Haiyuan Ai, whose hands were stretched a little, exclaimed in a small voice, and when she tried to turn the handle again, she found that the handle couldn't be turned. Even if she grabbed both hands on the handle, she couldn't turn the handle.

"The original commemorative coin has entered the suppression stage..." Qianyu hurriedly came to Haibara Ai's side, observed it, and said. "Although this machine is not difficult for adults, it seems to be more laborious for us. After all, the lever arm is a little short, and the inside may be a little rusted. Or... Let's turn the handle together? This way Maybe it can turn."

"..." After a moment of hesitation, Haibara Ai nodded. "OK."

When Qianyu was about to put her hand on the handle, she found that the handle might be fully grasped by an adult, but not enough for two children to hold it side by side. If you hold your hand on the edge of the handle, it is very easy to slip off.

Well. . .

"Haihara, let go of your hand first." Qianyu said. "I grab the handle, then you grab my hand, and we pull together."

"Okay." Hai Yuanai lowered her head and said softly.

Chiba would walk between Haibara Ai and the handle, interlaced the eight fingers of both hands except the thumb, pulled the handle, and then fixed the handle with her thumb. "It's your turn."

"I know," Haibara Ai subconsciously wrapped her hands around Chiba's neck, but found that her hands were not long enough. "You move forward."

"Oh, okay—wait a minute," Qianyu was about to move forward a little, but found that something was not right. "You can stand right in front of me."

"Also." Hui Yuan went to Chiba's right front~www.readwn.com~ and put both hands on Chiba's hands holding the handle.

"Three, two, one," Qian Yu took a deep breath and counted down softly. "pull!"

Chiba and Haibara Ai exerted their force at the same time, and the handle slowly turned with this force.

"Clap!" With a crisp sound, the original jerky handle turned smoothly again in an instant, and Haibara Ai, who was caught off guard, instantly let go, and her whole body fell backwards, hitting Qianyu directly.

"Uh..." Qian Yu let out a muffled groan.

"Sorry!" Haibara Ai immediately stabilized her body and turned to look at Qianyu. "Are you OK?"

"It's okay..." Qian Yu glanced at the position of her chest. "The area of ​​this auxiliary unit is very large (the auxiliary unit was stuck to the chest by Chiba, remember?), so after you hit it, it caused a dull pain... But it is basically better now."

"That's fine," Haibara Ai took out the commemorative coin they just pressed from the coin outlet. "I'll give you this commemorative coin. I don't think you have the strength to make a second one."

"If you don't want to put it in the house by yourself, why don't you just put it in the living room? What can you do for me..." Qian Yu shrugged, but then suddenly looked in the direction of the elevator. "Ah, the elevator is down."

"Let's take the elevator first." Haibara Ai glanced at the elevator floor and walked towards the elevator with Chiba.

The elevator door opened, but no one came out, so Chiba and Haibara Ai walked in and pressed the button leading to the large observation deck.

The elevator door slowly closed, and then began to accelerate upward.

The watch in Chiyu's hand pointed to nine forty-five, and the time froze at this moment.

"Boom!" The explosion was deafening.
