41. Very good at coaxing children

Everyone downstairs had arrived.

"The lookout elevator seems to have stopped..." Officer Shiraki murmured.

"What?!" Maori Kogoro's pupils shrank and he hurriedly looked.

In the rolling smoke, the light like beans above can be vaguely seen in the continuous fire. It was the lookout elevator, but it was stagnant like a malfunction at this moment.

At the same time, Chen Xing, who had already run back to the building, took out his cell phone and quickly called Yuanzi.

After waiting for a few seconds, he was as unbearable as fire. After finally connecting, his heart relaxed and he immediately said, "Are you okay? Where are you now? Is it safe?"

On the other end of the phone, Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and a crying laughter came from, "Is it because I am so anxious when I see you so anxious for the first time? Are you worried about me?"

Immediately, without waiting for his answer, he explained: "The lookout elevator has failed. We are now on the 45th floor, and there is also a contact bridge on this floor. Don't worry."

Although she said so easily, it was not difficult to hear from her tone that she had just experienced so much thrillingly.

Chen Xing also heard someone on the other side of the phone shouting, "As long as you pass this contact bridge, you can go to the building next door."

He leaned against the wall and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's fine."

Sure enough, I was too nervous before.

"What's wrong?" Yuanzi panted slightly and said while running, "You should go down, right?"

"Nothing." Chen Xing said as usual.

"See you later." Yuanzi chuckled.

Chen Xing was about to answer when the 60th floor contact bridge exploded and broke the contact bridge below and fell to it.

For a moment, there was only the explosion and the harsh buzzing sound when the contact bridge fell, and the other end of the phone suddenly disappeared.

"Yuanzi, Yuanzi!" Chen Xing shouted.

"I'm here, what's wrong with you?" Yuanzi responded over and over again, "I've arrived in Building B, but Xiaolan and Conan are still there, and the bridge is broken, so they can't get through!"

Chen Xing's voice returned to his ears. He held the window ridge, and the ups and downs in an instant made his breathing a little rapid.

"It's fine, you go down first."

"Where are you...?" Yuanzi heard something was wrong.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs." After Chen Xing said that, he hung up the phone.

Although he was worried about Conan and Ran Mori, the thick smoke and fire spreading around made him unable to go down, so he could only walk upstairs. By the way, he contacted Officer Meguri and asked the other party to send the police helicopter over.

"Hey, Brother Chenxing?"

Just as he was going upstairs, he suddenly met a few familiar children around a corner.

"Why are you here?" Chen Xing said in surprise.

"What about you?" Haibara Ai looked at him. For some reason, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"Come back and get something." Chen Xing said.

Haibara Ai snorted lightly, obviously not believing it.

"It's because when we went down, we gave the elevator to an older sister holding the child." Mitsuhiko said.

"But now the communication bridge is broken, what should I do?" Yuan Tai said dejectedly.

"Go to the roof." Chen Xing said: "The police will send a helicopter."

"That's great!" Mitsuhiko said happily.

On the other side, Ran Mori hugged Conan, tied the fire pit and jumped, successfully landed onto the safe floor, and then went downstairs from the stairs.

"It's great that you're fine." Yuanzi came up and looked behind them, and couldn't help but say, "Where are Chen Xing, have you seen him?"

"Didn't he come down first?" Maori Ran asked in confusion.

"Is he still there?" Conan was shocked. "Have you called him?"

"It can't be done." Yuanzi bit her lip, thinking of the phone call he called him before, she could vaguely guess the reason for his turnaround.

At this time, Dr. Agasa walked to Conan and whispered: "Those children have not come down yet."

"What?" Conan was stunned.

...

The group who were walking towards the top floor heard Conan's voice through the detective's armband.

"Where are you now?"

"It's almost time to reach the previous banquet venue." Ayumi replied, "Brother Chen Xing is with us too."

When Conan heard this, he felt a little relieved, but immediately said sternly: "You are too messy, why are you still staying on it?"

After listening to the explanations of Ai Mei and others, he thought for a while and said, "You must follow the words of Chenxiao and listen more to Haibara. The police helicopter will arrive soon."

Arimi responded well, but Yuanta and Mitsuhiko were a little confused. Fortunately, they could understand it, but what does "listen to Haibara more" mean?

"In addition, Chen Xing, remember to go in and take a look when you pass the banquet venue on the 75th floor." Conan whispered to the person missing in the venue.

"Okay." Chen Xing didn't ask much.

But Ai Haibara said, "You are wasting your time."

Conan was stunned and explained: "If I expected it would be right, the murderer who killed Mr. Oki and Miss Mio, is there now."

When we arrived at the banquet venue, Chen Xing asked Yuan Tai and the others to go upstairs first.

"What are you going to do?" Aimi looked at him, then looked at Ai Haibara with a calm expression.

Mitsuhiko didn't know what she thought of, her face turned red inexplicably, and she mustered up the courage to say, "No, no, you can't do this."

"The murderer who committed a serial murder case may be here, which is dangerous, so Mitsuhiko..." Chen Xing said seriously: "Now you have to protect Aomi and Yuanta to go to the roof first, can you do it?"

Mitsuhiko's mood suddenly surged, as if she had received a commission from the world of protection. She immediately raised her head and nodded vigorously, "I can do it!"

Chen Xing let them go.

"Let's go!" Mitsuhiko looked at the little friends beside her with a serious look on her face.

Azumi and Yuanta were still a little confused and were taken away by this kid in the next second.

Seeing the three of them climbing the stairs and leaving, Haibara said indifferently: "You are becoming more and more capable of coaxing people now."

"Is there any?" Chen Xing said, pushing open the door to the banquet venue.

Haibara Ai held his little hand on his back and didn't say anything.

In front of the dark, in front of the painting of Mount Fuji, a figure can be vaguely visible.

"I decided to kill Miss Mio because of a certain motive, so I gave her the pearl necklace. I asked Miss Mio to put on the necklace and introduce his paintings during the opening ceremony speech." Conan's voice came clearly from her armband.

Chen Xing raised the flashlight, like the moon peak, standing quietly in the light and shadow in front of the painting.

"I remember you." He said lightly, "It's a young man with Kogoro Mouri. Why, are you also a detective?"

Chen Xing shook the armband in his hand, "I'm not, the person who speaks is."

Conan coughed lightly and continued: "The pearl necklace that Mr. Ruyue gave to Miss Mio was deliberately made to dissipate easily, and then he prepared another necklace at the same time.

At the banquet, you took out the necklace, drooped down from the plaque of the painting along the folds of the curtain, hooked the piano line with a hook, and walked towards Miss Mio along the light at her feet, disassembling the necklace she wore.

Then, you comforted the panicked Miss Mio and said that you would help her get it done, but in fact you put the necklace hooked by the piano thread on her neck.

In other words, Miss Mio did not have a hooked necklace, but she wore the hooked necklace from the beginning, so she didn't notice it."

Chen Xing suddenly realized, "That's why I picked up that pearl at that time."

"Yes, as for the small wine glasses on the stage, they were deliberately put on for disguising as serial murders." Conan said.

"But, when he was killed, he had absent proof." Haibara Ai said inexplicably.

"It's very simple, because there is another murderer who killed Mr. Yuan." Conan said.

"Eh?" Aiichi Haibara was surprised.

"When Mr. Ruyue arrived at Mr. Yuan's apartment, he found that he had been shot and killed." Conan explained: "So he planned to disguise this incident as a serial murder and use it as a proof of absence."
