Fifteen minutes later, Conan and the others, along with the old lady who had been tied up with five flowers, and the gardener, who had been ceremoniously tied with a rope (which he had asked to tie) were waiting outside the portrait of the old man who had been removed.

With the sound of stepping on the railing, Qian Yu appeared at the entrance of the secret passage in the portrait with a complicated face.

"Is there something wrong with the treasure inside?" Gray Yuan Ai looked at Qianyu's expression a little strange, and hurriedly asked.

“。。。” Qian Yu looked at Gray Yuan and sighed. "Nothing... I just think it's a little sad... ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"At the end of the passage inside is a wall tile that can be opened outward—and when you look out, you can see the whole manor. There is also such a passage engraved on the wall tiles... ”

"I give this castle and this beautiful scenery – my most cherished treasure – to the first person to come here."

"What..." The old lady wilted as if she had been defeated in an instant. "It can't be..."

"You don't deserve this treasure, because you're too far away from the Great Master," Qian Yu leaned against the wall and said lightly. "Your pathetic mind, corrupted by money, is not qualified to accept this gift at all."

"What the hell am I doing this for? The old lady hid her face and wept bitterly. "I've worked hard here for more than ten years, and I've turned my face into this person, not a ghost...

Qian Yu closed his eyes slightly and shook his head.

Grief and grief for it, and hate for its greed.

At this time, the first glimmer of light had already appeared in the east.

。。。

The Beetle, refilled with gasoline, drove smoothly on the road.

Qian Yu pressed the stop watch in his hand, and then opened his eyes. "It's okay...

The stopwatch shows 29 seconds2.

They're playing a game of 30 seconds with a stoppage — close your eyes and make an estimate to see who can time the 30-second game more accurately.

"Here you go." Chiba gave the stopwatch to Conan beside him.

"It's my turn," Conan said, taking the stopwatch and starting the game as well. “。。。 28，29，30！ ”

“。。。” Thousand Feathers shrugged. "Not bad."

"Twenty-seven seconds... Conan pouted. "It's a lot worse than you and Gray Plains' grades...

Ayumi, who was sitting next to Conan and next to the car door, also took the stop watch and began to count blindly.

"Are we going to the Twin Towers of Seitama?" Conan asked Dr. Asasa.

"yes," Dr. Asa replied. "This newly completed building is the largest twin towers in Japan! If you don't look at it, you'll lose a lot! ”

“30！” With a shout, Ayumi pressed the stop watch and opened her eyes, followed by a cheer of surprise. "Ahh

“！！！” Chiba and Conan were dumbfounded when they saw the time on the stoppage.

30:00！ Every second counts!!

"Terrible... There was also a rare look of surprise on Gray Plains' face. "Is it so accurate?"

"It's like it has a special function... Mitsuhiko also praised after seeing the stop watch.

"Where is it... Ayumi smiled shyly.

。。。

Under the twin towers of Seitama.

"It's so high!" Motota sighed.

"You can't see the top floor at all!" Mitsuhiko was surprised.

"These two buildings are really too high... Thousand Feathers raised an eyebrow.

"If there is a fire, it is impossible to escape safely in such a place... Gray Plains frowned. "The building is too thin for its height, and it is likely that it is not resilient enough to disasters."

"Resistance?" Ayumi asked, tilting her head.

“。。。” Gray Yuan gave Chiba a look.

"Resistance in all sorts," Chiba explained. "For example, for such a tall building, the average fire truck can reach 20 floors, and the higher floors are completely unable to handle it, so the building can only be designed to extinguish the fire by designing high-rise water storage equipment such as a reservoir - the water on the ground floor cannot be pumped up because of the high level. In addition, during the fire escape, the floor is too high and it takes a long time to escape, during which the stairs are easily encroached by flames, resulting in no way for the living to escape... Not to mention whether this slender figure can survive a large-scale earthquake... ”

Just then, a taxi pulled up next to them. When Conan saw the person in the car window, he had a strange expression. "Great... Uncle? ”

Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori and Sonoko Suzuki are getting out of the taxi.

"Conan?" Mao Lilan was stunned when he saw Conan, who looked confused. "Why are you here?"

"Why are you little devils here?" Mori Kogoro was surprised.

"We stopped by Hakone after a hot spring visit," Conan replied. "Uncle, what about you?"

"Uh... The owner of this building, Ms. Mio Tokiwa of the Tokiwa Foundation, was my junior high school girl from college, so I was invited to experience it before the inauguration ceremony next week! ”

"I've never heard my uncle talk about it before!" Conan was surprised.

"I don't even know!" Maoriland spreads hands. "In the end, I thought it was very strange to ask my father to find out about it!"

"So," Conan said. "Sister Xiaolan came here to spy on her uncle?"

"Yes, yes!" Sonoko Suzuki nodded. "Because Miss Tokiwa Mio is the daughter and chairman of the Tokiwa Foundation, she is not only beautiful and prominent, but she is still single! For Lan, whose parents are separated, it's normal to be worried, right? ”

While they were chatting, a young woman approached. "Is Mr. Kogoro Mori here?"

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a while before he reacted. "I'm Mori Kogoro."

"I'm the secretary of Chairman Tokiwa, and my name is Sawaguchi. Because the chairman is receiving guests, the chairman asks me to show you around. ”

。。。

The group rode the elevator and traveled upward.

"Is the second floor an exhibition area? . . . Qian Yu looked at the sign on the second floor and muttered. "Is it all Tokiwa Foundation stuff?"

"Yes!" Sawaguchi explained. "Although only the part below the 30th floor is leased to companies that need it at a high price, the second and third floors are specially reserved by the Tokiwa Foundation, and they are full of various exhibits."

"I remember that the Tokiwa Foundation was mainly engaged in computers?" Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered something.

"yes," Chiba nodded. "It seems that some of the hardware optimization in the previous 'cocoon' game was outsourced to the Tokiwa Foundation."

Just then, the second floor arrived.

“。。。” The two people standing in the exhibition area who were whispering looked at this side together—one of them even set his eyes on Qianyu.

“！！！” Chiba's expression was as if he had seen a ghost - because it was Hoshino Kaede who was looking at him with an expression that also looked like he had seen a ghost!
