On the second floor of the warehouse, Kuroki Jin looked at Takagi who was handcuffed to the iron railing window and fell into deep thought.
He slowly said:
"Officer Takagi...Compared with handcuffs and life, Officer Sato wants you to go back safely."
Takagi Wataru is still working hard to dismantle the window. He has a gun in his arms. It may not be possible to break the railings made of steel bars, but the brittle handcuffs are still rusty handcuffs eighteen years ago.
Question.
The key to the problem is that this pair of handcuffs is a relic left by Sato Miwako's father. Thinking about Sato keeping it until now, you know that this thing is very important to her.
"Hey!" Kuroki Jin sighed again, pulled him over and asked him to stop violently dismantling the window. The two of them faced each other and gasped for... hot breath.
This place is really getting mature.
"Don't open it, I'll help you open the handcuffs." Seeing that Takagi was still looking at the window, Kuroki Hitoshi said angrily.
"No, this is Officer Sato..."
"I know, I know, I promise not to break it." Kuroki Ren was speechless. Seeing that Takagi finally stopped covering the rusty handcuffs, he pulled out a slender needle from the cuff.<
/p>
"You...?"
"The handcuffs are too old and there is some rust inside. It will probably take some time... to open them."
Spend a little time? Just one sentence?
Takagi looked at the opened handcuffs blankly, and Kuroki Jin pulled him back to reality. He quickly put the handcuffs away and said in surprise: "Let's run away."
"It's time to think about it now." Kuroki Ren complained to him in a low voice.
But should I say it or not, I should hurry up. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and Kuroki Jin is already feeling faintly dizzy.
"Let's go." He offered his hand, fearing that Takagi, who had been inhaling smoke for a long time, would lose his balance.
The two of them quickly left this dangerous place.
Not far below the warehouse, Shiratori has handcuffed the arsonist. In order to prevent him from waking up and escaping, he also handcuffed the other end of the handcuffs to a telephone pole.
"I have already contacted the firefighters." Shiratiao put down the phone and said to the children who looked obviously worried.
"But... will brother Ren be inside?" Ayumi showed an expression that was about to cry, "Officer Shiratori, can we find a way to put out the fire first?"
How to save it? There is no water source or fire hydrant around, and the fire is already very big. It cannot be saved by just a few people.
Shiratiao instantly analyzed the pros and cons in his heart. Rather than saving the people who were unknown whether they were inside, protecting these five children so that they would not be in danger was the most important thing for him to do.
If Jin Kuroki had any accidents while rescuing people, it would have been caused by his sense of social responsibility as an adult. But if anything happened to these seven or eight-year-old children because he and Shiratori Rensaburo were rescuing people.
, it cannot be justified that he took the blame and resigned.
Compared with the passionate Takagi or Sato, the son of a big family has more to think about, and he can always make the best choice at critical moments.
"It's okay, I believe in you, Brother Ren." Shiratiao comforted Ayumi, and also comforted the other children, "He must have been fully prepared to go in."
And... Shiratiao looked at the fire scene. If he could have broken in when the fire was not strong, now the door is full of beasts that devour people. Anyone who comes near will be burned to pieces.
They can't even get in, let alone save people.
Inside, Kuroki Jin and Takagi Wataru also faced this problem. When they saw the blazing flames burning at the door, they were somewhat repelled.
"Just, cough cough, there is no other, cough cough, other door??"
"No more." Kuroki Jin's answer was concise and clear, "Unless we, well, we smash down the wall."
"Again, ahem, I don't have any tools."
"Get out."
"Huh?"
"Just kidding." Kuroki Ren's expression was expressionless, not like he was joking at all, "Collapse this staircase." He turned around and started kicking up the already weak stairs.
Takagi asked the reason and kicked him.
"The second floor may also collapse." Kuroki Jin covered his mouth and nose with one hand, "We can pave a path through the collapsed floor."
"What if it can't be laid out, or it doesn't collapse?"
"Then I'll kick you down... I don't have a gun for you!"
Kuroki Jin stopped his silly behavior, pulled out the pistol from Takagi's arms without any explanation, and fired two shots at the base of the stairs that was almost loose.
"Gunshot!" Haiyuan, who had been paying attention to the movement in the warehouse, shouted, "There is someone inside!"
"Brother Ren is really in there!" Mitsuhiko looked anxious, "No, I have to save him!"
Before he could take a step forward, he was stopped by Conan in front of him.
"Conan..."
"Stand back a little." Conan waved his hand, signaling Haibara to take them back. Then he looked around and instructed Shiratori to move the trash can directly in front of him.
"What are you going to do?"
Shiratiao carefully took two steps back after putting down the trash can. He didn't get along with these children much, so naturally he didn't know their magic.
"Of course..." A mysterious smile appeared on Conan's lips.
"Save people!"
The foot-strength-enhancing shoes started to kick on the trash can, and the trash can suddenly rushed towards the fire in the light.
To be precise, it was a place far away from the main entrance where the fire was relatively small, where the wall had been burned to the point of crumbling.
The wall... collapsed.
Through the barrier of the weak fire, Kuroki Jin and Takagi Wataru inside were able to clearly make eye contact with the people outside.
"Come out quickly, Brother Ren! There is also Officer Takagi."
Kuroki Jin threw the gun back to Takagi, and without any explanation, he grabbed Takagi's wrist and rushed towards the destroyed fire wall.
They are lucky. The fire here is not so big that people cannot pass through it. As long as they are not afraid of rushing forward.
"Ahhhhhhhh——!" Takagi howled as he was being dragged away behind him.
"We're out now, stop yelling." Kuroki Ren wiped the sweat from his face, which was covered in smoke and dust, making him look a little gray.
Takagi stopped and howled, and then was punched in the back by Shiratori.
"Here."
Kuroki Jin was originally watching the quarrel between the two police officers, but the next moment something was handed to him. He subconsciously took it and saw that it was a handkerchief.
Looking up along the handed hand, Hui Yuan Ai was indeed looking at him with a calm expression.
"Ah..." Kuroki Ren held the handkerchief, and it was neither good nor bad to use it or not to use it.
"Wipe your face and wait for Officer Memu to bring the police over. You don't want her to die on the spot."
Kuroki Jin... quickly wiped a circle on his face, and then put the handkerchief into his arms.
"It's dirty. I'll wash it when I go back and give it back to you."
Hui Yuan Ai looked at him for a second and then took back his hand.
"It's okay if you don't return it. Anyway, it was just made for us by the doctor to avoid fingerprints at crime scenes. Everyone has it with them."
