Chapter 114 Countdown to Heaven 5 (1/2)

”An explosion?” Kazama was startled when he received a phone call from the staff.

”Where?” Megure asked.

[t's in Basement Level 4, the Machinery Room and the Power Generation Room! Also in the Computer Room on the 40th floor]. The staff answered.

”The Computer Room?” Kazama was startled.

”Eh?Kazama-san! The Tokiwa Corporation's main computer is there! All our important data is gone!” Sawaguchi was desperate.

[There's a fire spreading on that floor and evacuate everyone immediately!] The staff said.

”I understand!” Kazama closed his phone and said, ”Inspector, we must evacuate immediately!”

”If the Machinery Room was destroyed along with the Power Generation Room....” Shiratori gulped, ”There is no backup power.”

”Then the elevators are down?” Shigure asked.

”Yes,” Kazama said, but suddenly he realized, ”No, the VIP elevator may still work.”

They became happy, ”Is that true?”

Kazama nodded, ”It had secluded power sources.” He went to the elevators and pressed the button.

They sighed in relief when they saw the elevator was working.

”It works!”

Ranko and Utaha were also sighing in relief.

”How many people can fit in?” Shigure asked.

”About nine adults,” Kazama said.

”It will take too long for everyone in this,” Shiratori said, ”Is there another way?”

Kazama nodded, ”The emergency stairs will reach the Sky Bridge. From there, you can descend B tower to the ground.”

”ALRIGHT! CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND THE ELDERLY WILL TAKE THE ELEVATOR. EVERYONE ELSE TAKE THE EMERGENCY STAIRS!!” Shigure led everyone.

Yuuki told both Utaha and Ranko to go first.

”Are you really fine?” Utaha was worried.

”Don't worry about me, I'm more worried about you,” Yuuki said to both Ranko and Utaha.

”You've got to make sure to come to us as soon as possible, alright?” Ranko said with a worried expression.

Yuuki smiled and patted their heads, ”Yes, I'll come to you guys as soon as possible.”

They kissed each other and entered the elevator.

Yuuki waved his hand until they saw them gone. He was really worried if either of them were involved in this bombing incident. He told both of them to go first since he knew either of them didn't have any stamina or anything. He noticed the detectives boys, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko were waiting for their chance to enter the elevator.

Yuuki was walking toward the corner where an old man was looking at Mt. Fuji. He stood beside him while bringing a cup of sake.

”Care to have a drink with me?” Yuuki gave him a cup of sake.
