Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Conan was also taken aback by Matsuda's actions. After he reacted, he hurriedly tugged at Megure's trouser leg.

"Inspector Megure, quickly find an air cushion and place it under Inspector Matsuda. That way, even if he fails, he'll still..."

"He will not fail."

Before Conan could finish speaking, a woman's voice interrupted him.

Conan turned around and saw it was Sato.

She and the others from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Division also came to help.

"Miwako," Yumi called out timidly.

"Matsuda won't fail. He did the same thing three years ago..."

Sato stared blankly at the figure struggling to climb the building's exterior wall.

She recalled that day three years ago, when Matsuda also boarded the Ferris wheel that was riddled with bombs.

"Matsuda was able to successfully save Beika Central Hospital that time, and he will definitely succeed this time as well."

Although the sky had long since darkened, the area around the Mihana City Tower was still brightly lit.

Everywhere were evacuated crowds, as well as firefighters and hospital paramedics.

Soon, people noticed the figure climbing on the outer wall.

"what happened?"

"There's someone climbing up there!"

"It's so high up, you'd die if you fell."

……

At this time, reporters from various television stations also arrived.

Among them was an acquaintance of Matsuda, Rena Mizunashi.

"Viewers, this is Nichiuri TV. I'm Rena Mizunashi, and I'm here to broadcast live the explosion at the Beika City Tower."

Rena Mizunashi was holding a microphone and introducing the situation on set to the camera.

The commotion in the crowd also drew her attention to the figures hanging in the air above the building's exterior wall.

As the photographer zoomed in, Rena Mizunashi immediately recognized the person.

"Dear viewers, the person appearing on the exterior wall of the building is none other than Detective Jinpei Matsuda, a renowned detective from the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"According to our understanding, in addition to the hundreds of people still trapped inside the building, there are also unexploded bombs inside."

"Once the bomb explodes, all the people trapped inside the building will be buried in the rubble."

"Because the passageways leading into the building have been blocked by the previous explosions."

"In order to defuse the bomb inside the building, Officer Matsuda had to climb the building's exterior walls in an attempt to enter the building from the outside."

Compared to the worries of those below him, Matsuda was actually quite relaxed as he climbed the building's exterior wall in mid-air.

With his physical abilities modified by the system, climbing walls was not a difficult task for him.

And beside him was the Ghost Knight.

If Matsuda really slips and falls, the Ghost Knight is always there to rescue him.

He climbed up the outer wall for more than 30 meters, and there happened to be an open outward-opening window in front of him, so Matsuda simply crawled through the window.

After entering the building, he looked at the signs.

This is the 11th floor, while the movie theater that Teiji Moriya mentioned is on the 16th floor above.

Matsuda hurried up the stairs.

He quickly arrived at the sixteenth floor.

But then, another problem arose.

The entrance between the sixteen-story cinema and the corridor has been buried by the rubble that collapsed earlier.

Meanwhile, the metal escape door on the other side was also twisted.

It's impossible to open. And as long as you apply force to the metal door...

The broken tiles on the door would loosen, as if they were about to fall down at any moment.

Since Matsuda couldn't get in himself, he sent the Ghost Knight through the wall to scout ahead.

A moment later, the Ghost Knight emerged through the wall, gesturing with his hands.

"So there really is a bomb inside?" Matsuda asked.

The Ghost Knight nodded silently.

Matsuda raised his arm; the watch on his wrist showed 11:55.

The bomb will explode in five minutes. We can't get through either door, so we have to keep going outside.

Matsuda opened the window on this side of the passage, climbed over the outer wall again, and then scaled the wall to the cinema lobby.

Unlike other places, all the windows in this movie theater are sealed.

Looking at the transparent glass in front of him, Matsuda was about to smash it with a punch.

He then climbed over the wall and went inside, but little did he know that someone inside had noticed him.

"Officer Matsuda!" It's Ran.

It's past midnight. Tomorrow is Shinichi Kudo's birthday.

Ran came here to celebrate Shinichi Kudo's birthday.

Then, they were trapped in the lobby of the movie theater because of the explosion.

In the movie theater lobby at that moment, due to the earlier explosion, some were dead and others were injured.

Many people were buried in the fallen brick and stone rubble.

Most of those who weren't buried were also injured.

Xiaolan was the same; she had several abrasions on her body.

Some were injured by falling bricks and stones during the explosion.

Some of the injuries were from scratches she sustained while rescuing people who were buried.

Although they had done their best to dig out everyone buried in the hall.

But many of them had already lost their lives.

Coupled with the groans of the injured nearby, the entire movie theater lobby was filled with an atmosphere of despair.

Xiaolan was the same.

Although she believed that Shinichi Kudo would definitely come to save him.

But two hours have passed since the explosion.

Although she also made contact with Shinichi Kudo outside,

But they unexpectedly learned an even more devastating piece of news: there was a bomb in the movie theater lobby.

"Shinichi, I..."

Ran was about to tell Shinichi Kudo on the other end of the phone that she believed him.

At that moment, a strange noise came from the glass window behind her.

Xiaolan subconsciously turned her head.

Then they saw a dusty-looking person peering out the window.

Chapter 187 Xiao Lan: My Prince Charming is here to save me?

"Officer Matsuda?" Ran asked in surprise.

"Ran, has Officer Matsuda arrived at your location? Try to get him in..."

Shinichi Kudo's voice came through the phone.

Actually, even without his reminder, Ran realized Matsuda's predicament.

He raised his leg and delivered a side kick, shattering the glass next to Matsuda.

"Officer Matsuda, come in quickly!"

Ran leaned out and extended her hand to Matsuda.

Matsuda, who was outside, was also startled by Ran's sudden kick.

He originally planned to break the glass himself and then crawl inside.

Who would have thought that Xiao Lan inside was so fierce, she kicked him and broke a piece of his skin.

With Ran's help, Matsuda quickly climbed into the cinema lobby.

"Officer Matsuda, what exactly is going on..."

Xiaolan had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but now was clearly not the time for idle chatter.

"Don't worry, everything's alright!"

Looking at the girl in front of me, her face was filled with lingering fear, and there were tear tracks under her red eyes.

Matsuda didn't think much of it, raised his arm, and gently hugged her.

"Don't worry, everything's alright!"

After saying that, before Xiaolan could react,

Guided by the Ghost Knight, Matsuda arrived in front of the time bomb.

At this moment, the bomb display showed that there were less than two minutes left.

Matsuda didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly took out the tools he had prepared earlier and quickly began to disassemble the device.

After removing the bomb casing, Matsuda quickly sorted out the slightly messy wires inside.
