Chapter 248 - Fire
Five minutes later.
"Uhhh The corners of Chiha's mouth twitched.
"It's really fake... Conan lifts his forehead.
On the stage, Mori Kogoro, who was holding a small flag, was receiving congratulations from everyone in the audience with a red face.
"Dad, he actually guessed it... Mao Lilan also covered her mouth, with a surprised expression on her face.
"Senior, do you have any comments to say?" Mio Tokiwa smiled and looked at Kogoro Mori.
"Me?" Mori Kogoro thought about it, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly. "Finally able to get rid of the car rental career, hahahahaha-"
"Hahaha-" The audience also let out a good-natured laugh.
Mori Kogoro walked off the stage amid such laughter.
"Uncle, you're really lucky today." Sonoko said to Mori Kogoro. "Could it be that the god of fate saw that you didn't have a car, so he specially arranged such an accident and gave you this sports car?"

At the same time, the central computer control room on the 40th floor.
A group of men in staff costumes fell to the ground - motionless, their bloodless clean clothes and slightly heaving chests proved that they were still alive.
Beside them, several heavily armed combatants were sitting on the floor, chatting as they watched the unconscious staff members.
"The few people who walked up just now were... A combatant apparently computer-savvy was monitoring footage from the VIP elevator, and a moving box appeared on the computer, revealing the person's identity in a blue box for a few seconds with each movement to a person's face. "Mori Kogoro, Dr. Twilight, what is this?"
The box stopped on Sawaguchi's face, but no information was displayed.
"Look at her badge," another combatant with a badge motioned beside her. "She's supposed to be a staff member, her name is... Sawaguchi... I can't see the name clearly, so I don't care about her anyway. β
When the box analyzes the identities of other people and comes to Kaede Hoshino, who takes the next elevator to the 75th floor, the display box of the identity information suddenly changes from blue to black.
Kaede Hoshino β Secondary target
"Today's secondary target is him!" The seated combatant said excitedly. "It's time to close the net!"
"Tell the captain that the target has reached the 75th floor and is ready to move." The badge combatant said with a smile. "Brothers, prepare to withdraw."

Just when Chiba and the others were congratulating Maori Kogoro, a sudden change occurred!
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
βοΌβ Kogoro Maori looked at the crowd, but didn't notice anything unusual.
βγγγβ Conan made a circle on the shoe, turning up the power of the shoe, and jumped to a height of more than two meters with one kick.
βοΌοΌοΌβ Maolilan was startled, and hurriedly took a step forward, holding Conan, who began to fall after being in the air, in his arms. "Conan! What are you doing here? β
"I saw Tokiwa-sama fall to the ground!" Conan said solemnly.
"What?" Everyone was shocked, and Mori Kogoro immediately passed through the edge of the crowd and went around to the stage from the side.
Mio Tokiwa curled up and fell on the stage with a pained expression.
βγγγβ Kogoro Mori put his hand on Mio Tokiwa's nose and lowered his head after a moment, while the hand on Mio Tokiwa's nose slammed into the ground. "Damn!"
βγγγβ Conan also ran along the route that Kogoro had taken before, and was stunned when he saw Mio Tokiwa's death. "This..."
This way of dying is a bit similar to Tokiwa Mio, huh?
Wait a minute...
Mio Tokiwa is an unnatural death, and the Tokiwa Foundation is related to the organization.
The previous Oto was also an unnatural death with similar symptoms.,Could it be that he and the organization also have it.γγγ
"Let's call the police quickly!" Mao Lilan also ran over and said while talking on the phone on his mobile phone.
"Call Officer Twilight directly," Kogoro Mori said, turning back. "They're downstairsβ"
Before Kogoro Mori could finish speaking, there was a tremor in the building.
"What's going on?" All of them lowered their center of gravity slightly to ensure balance, and looked around uneasily, except...
βγγγβ Hoshino Kaede looked at his phone, his face pale.
"What's wrong?" Qian Yu saw that Hoshino Kaede's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
Kaede Hoshino turned the screen to Chiha. "It's a text message from a friend who works at the computer in the middle of the building."
βοΌβ Qian Yu looked at the text message, but found that the content of the text message was very simpleβalthough the content was not simple.
γοΌοΌοΌ γ
"This..." Chiba was stunned and looked at Hoshino Kaede in confusion. "What is this?"
At that moment, the building began to tremble.
"Oh... Qian Yu immediately lowered his center of gravity. "What's going on? Earthquake? Where did the building collapse? β
"Impossible," Kaede Hoshino frowned. "Even if the building is going to collapse, it will only be Building B with an unlaid foundation, and this building should theoretically not have this kind of problem."
"Hey..." Gray Yuan Wai stood on the inside of the outer glass of the building, and a slightly frightened voice came over. "Look at the glass curtain wall of Building B, look... Look at the lower half of the curtain wall. β
"What?" Chiba and Hoshino Kaede hurriedly rushed to Gray Hara's side, and then looked in the direction she was pointing. βοΌοΌοΌβ
Through the glass curtain wall of Building B, they clearly saw the condition of the ground floor of Building A. Right in front of them, the earth life (the Japanese god of fire, the allusion I use here, you can search for his birth process from Baidu and then make up your own brain to understand) was born from the bottom floor of Building A.
"Oh my God..." Qian Yu muttered.
"It's not good," Kaede Hoshino kept 100% calm despite his grim face. "We have to move out before the fire hits the 60-storey bridge between Buildings A and B, or we're all going to suffer."
At the same time, the lights in the hall suddenly went dark.
"Power off?" Hoshino Kaede was stunned. "This is ... Bad... β
"What's wrong?" Both Chiba and Gray Plains looked at him.
"The power room is underground," Kaede Hoshino explained with a calm face. "And the fire that we saw from the curtain wall was probably near the 40th floor where the central computer was located. Could you please tell me, if the fire on the 40th floor is an ordinary accident, what is the fire on both floors at the same time? And what about the floor where the central computer is located and the floor where the power generation room is located? β
"Do you mean..." Qianyu was enlightened. "We were...
"I wonder if this isn't a natural disaster," Kaede Hoshino nodded. "It's a man-made disaster."
