Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1285 Let's Split Up

At this moment, the seashore was in complete chaos.

The cabinet immediately relayed the message to the person in charge there, Inspector Megure, while evacuation sirens continued to sound.

Inspector Megure and his men did their best to maintain order, methodically transporting the refugees onto the vehicles.

However, things started to get worse.

Due to chaotic and untimely intelligence, and perhaps the presence of a restless individual secretly instigating the situation, a large number of people who were not originally within the evacuation area continued to pour towards the seashore.

This has led to congestion on the two bridges leading to the sea, with densely packed vehicles queuing up to enter.

Inspector Megure was in a panic – he needed to get everyone out of here while also getting those who had just arrived back, and there simply wasn't enough time!

Even so, he couldn't stop.

First, they instructed someone to notify the radio station to broadcast the latest evacuation information, and then they deployed additional personnel to direct traffic at the bridge entrances and exits.

Inspector Megure was drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through, but that was all he could do now.

If the higher-ups can't handle the return capsule falling this way, then he... can only pray that the scale of the disaster is kept to a minimum.

Inside the observation tower.

An explosion had just occurred at the summit venue, and the shockwave affected many signal base stations. Coupled with the large number of people, mobile phone signals were severely congested, making it impossible to access the internet or even make normal phone calls.

The people here have no idea what's happening in the outside world.

People had barely entered the observation tower and hadn't even had a chance to relax when they heard a piercing alarm – leave immediately!

Immediately, everyone rushed towards the elevators and fire escape stairs, causing severe congestion and making progress extremely slow.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki hugged each other tightly, their faces filled with worry and fear.

Kogoro Mouri frowned: "This is bad, the crowd is starting to panic."

Due to the obstruction of information and the piercing alarm, the crowd was clearly in a state of panic. If it weren't for the police's efforts to maintain order, a stampede would likely have occurred.

"Husband..." Eri Kisaki grabbed Kogoro Mouri's arm with some worry.

Kogoro Mouri was also helpless. There was nothing he could do, so he could only comfort him, "It's okay, there won't be any problems."

the other side

Yuya and the other two rushed down the stairs at top speed.

Yuya hung up the phone with Shiho Miyano and shook his head at Conan—the Mori family hadn't gone home; they'd probably gone to the edge of the sea with the crowd to take refuge.

Conan kept dialing Ran Mouri's and the others' numbers, but without exception, none of them could be connected.

"Damn it!" Conan gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"What should we do? We're running out of time," Amuro Tooru said urgently.

Yuya spoke up, "Mr. Amuro, could you arrange for a helicopter?"

Amuro Tooru was taken aback, not understanding what Yuya was trying to do, and replied, "What do you want to do? All the helicopters have already been deployed to evacuate people, and it's too late to recall them now."

Yu sighed softly.

Amuro Tooru fell silent, vaguely guessing Yuya's intentions.

Conan seemed to have made up his mind. He looked up at Amuro Tooru and said, "Mr. Amuro, this time, it's your turn to be our assistant."

Amuro Tooru paused for a moment, looking intently at Conan, while the boy—the little boy—returned his gaze with unwavering determination.

After a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let me see what good ideas you have."

Yuya's eyes flickered—he probably knew what Conan was planning to do.

But... can it really succeed? Although he knew that Conan's soccer kick was very powerful, the target was a return capsule traveling at a speed of over 10 kilometers per second.

The extremely high speed means that a layer of high-temperature air film will form on the surface of the return capsule. The football might not even make contact with the capsule before it turns to ashes.

Thinking about this, Yu also felt that she couldn't put all her hopes on Conan alone.

Conan and Amuro Tooru got into the car, only to realize that Yu hadn't gotten in either.

Conan peeks out: "Yuya?"

Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "Go ahead and try your idea. I have other plans."

Conan paused for a moment, then nodded after a brief thought: "Double insurance is good." He then shrank back inside.

The white Mazda started and sped off towards the edge of the sea.

Yuya turned around, quickly entered the elevator, and began to disguise himself.

The entire Metropolitan Police Department experienced a power outage, and the surveillance system naturally stopped working, so he didn't need to worry about his actions being seen.

In the underground parking garage, a man with a somewhat ferocious face walked out of the garage.

Yu touched his face somewhat awkwardly. He hadn't used this look of Ida Taku in a long time, and he was really not used to it.

He randomly picked a car, pried it open in a few quick movements, started it, and drove it out of the underground parking garage.

He then took out another phone and made a call.

"Kousuke, have someone prepare a helicopter to wait for me on the route from the Metropolitan Police Department to the edge of the sea... Such a big thing has happened, we have to do our part. I'll go in person, just to give the newly appointed administrator face."

"The license plate number of the car I'm driving now is..."

Not long after Yuya drove off, he heard the sound of a propeller overhead.

He drove the car to the park and parked it in an open space.

Then, the helicopter roared down and stopped in front of Yuya.

Yuya held her hair down to prevent her wig from being blown away, then quickly stepped forward and entered the cockpit from the other side. The helicopter took off rapidly and flew towards the edge of the sea.

Yuya fastened her seatbelt and glanced at the driver.

The latter had a resolute face with several scars, and his demeanor clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person, much less someone involved in organized crime.

Hayato Ogawa saluted Yuya: "Chairman."

"He can even fly a helicopter, and he doesn't look like an ordinary pilot." You tentatively asked, "Were you in the military?"

Hayato Ogawa nodded: "Yes. However, due to the aftereffects of my leg injury, I was forced to retire from the military."

"When I couldn't find a job and was desperate, it was Assistant Umino who took me in. Now I work as his bodyguard."

Yu nodded slightly: "I see."

Hayato Ogawa appeared calm, but he was actually quite nervous inside. He was extremely shocked when he received Kosuke Umino's order.

First, he was surprised that the club actually owned a helicopter, and second, he was surprised that he, a mere bodyguard, seemed to be accompanying the chairman on a major mission.

He asked hesitantly, "Chairman, what are we going to do?"

Yu didn't answer, but instead turned over and went to the cabin, where a clicking sound soon came from inside.

Ogawa Hayato's eyebrows twitched as he listened—having served in the military, he knew exactly what it was: the sound of guns being assembled.

“We,” Yuya’s voice came from inside the cabin, “to become heroes.”
