With Teiji Moriya out of the picture, this leaves Kyuji and Ankh to deal with the present problem. As O's deal with the Yummies, Ankh will have to find the hidden bombs with Shinichi Kudo's consciousness aiding him in the search. Expect some tense moments as Ai Haibara joins in on the bomb searching…

After Teiji Moriya succeeded in activating the bombs, Ankh launches his monster hand and punched Teiji on his gut before ripping off the mask after "smelling" his face as it has the scent of a latex. By then Hiroashi Agasa came and saw this and began to hold Teiji as Ankh reattached himself onto Shinichi's body and there he told Agasa that he's going to find the bombs using the journal. By then Teiji breaks free and ran off but then Ai shows up and fired a tranquilizer dart from her wrist watch which knocks him out.

"Looks like I luckily passed by here...so he's the one who sent hose Candroids at those skyscrapers..."

"Miss Shiho...Mr. Ankh...look at the journal..."

"Let me see..."

As the trio glances at the journal, they now know which buildings the bombs are hidden so Ankh and Ai leave at once and are heading towards the nearest skyscrapers as Agasa calls for Kogori Mori to inform him that he has Teiji in his custody. But Ankh came back and scans Teiji's mind and there he knows which buildings have the bombs but is unable to pinpoint its source so he leaves again and boarded the Ride Vendor.

Ai on the other hand, boarded a taxi and heads for the nearest skyscraper she knows and she intends to get there as fast as she could and has brought several Candroids with her since she'll be needing them to help her in finding the bomb that is hidden there. She hoped that Ankh would know what to do since Shinichi is there with him.

63: Chō kōsō biru, jikken, shinpei-ki part 4

With four minutes have passed since Teiji activated the bombs, Ankh and Ai are racing against time as they have no idea how much time is remaining in which the bombs are set to go off, apart from hearing the claim that they are set to go off in 15 minutes and the two went to separate directions as they knew which skyscraper is nearest to their areas. Ai took the east section while Ankh took the west section, as they noted the journal's sketches hence they are able to make most of the time getting to the nearest targets where the bombs are most likely to be placed there.

The scene shifts to Ankh where Shinichi's consciousness guiding him to where he should go, and the Greed who is currently possessing the teen detective's body reluctantly followed the instruction as he has no other choice since he gave his word after agreeing to Shinichi's terms on this situation at hand. By then Ankh arrived at the first skyscraper thanks in part to Shinichi mentally providing him with the info and has entered the building. With Shinichi's thoughts guiding him, Ankh is forced to summon the owner of the building and gave him the warning.

"Hey, are you the owner of this joint?"

"Yes I am."

"Good...if you care for the tenants of this place...get them out of here while there is time..."

"Huh? Why would I do that?"

"Because there's a bomb here..."

"Seriously?"

"Want to live longer and do you care for the others here? If you do...have them evacuate or else this place goes "KA-BOOM"..."

"I'm on it!"

As the manager heeded Ankh's words, he began to have his staff assist him in evacuating everyone as the Greed sent the five Taka Candroids in searching the upper floors for the bombs and knew this is not going to be an easy task given the sheer number of floors to cover, and with less than 15-minutes in their time limit, he knew the odds are stacked against him yet Shinichi is able to persuade him to continue the search.

"Don't give up...! I'll back you up all the way...and the ice cream's waiting for you..."

"You'd better..."

Reluctantly, the Greed did as he is told only because of the promise that he'll get an ice cream in return.

With 10 minutes remaining, the Taka Candroids have occupied the first five floors so Ankh went up to the 6th floor using the stairs and searched for every place he could see if the bomb is hidden anywhere, but after a thorough searched yields no results. He decided to head for the 7th floor, even though he is clearly pissed that he may not be able to cover the entire building with less time to spare and is thinking of abandoning this mission.

"Blast it! Why am I doing this? Should I give up and head back to where Kyuji is at this moment...?"

As he is now at the 7th floor, which he took the stairs, the I-Phone rang and glanced at the screen, and though the name isn't registered, he nevertheless answered it thinking it could be Kyuji or Ai, but instead a female voice spoke to him, which Shinichi's consciousness immediately recognized while it took the Greed a while to figure out who the caller is.

Vermouth: "Hello...Am I speaking to you...?"

Ankh: "Who is this?"

Shinichi: "That voice...Vermouth!"

Ankh: "Huh? Vermouth...? Ah...the female member of this so-called organization I saw in your memory..."

Vermouth: "So...you have gained access to Shinichi Kudo's mind...quite an impressive feat, Ankh the Greed…"

Ankh: "What do you want, you wench?"

Vermouth: "Please, Ankh the Greed...I'm trying to be polite to you...I know where you can find that bomb you seek..."

Ankh: "Really? And how do I know you mean what you say? And how would I know you're not going to squeal me to your comrades?"

Vermouth: "If that's my intention...then the Black Organization would've gone after you several weeks ago...anyway...to find the bomb, be prepared...for everything would come down at you...I hope you gain access to Shinichi Kudo's talents...you'll be needing them. Good luck and goodbye..."

The female voice speaking to Ankh turn out to be Vermouth and politely taunted the Greed before getting to the point which she provided him with a vital clue which Shinichi immediately took notice and relayed it to Ankh.

"Ankh...head for the basement! I figured out where the bomb is hidden!"

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes...and trust me on this one...!"

As the Greed hurried down towards the basement area, he asked Shinichi what is he thinking, which the teen detective told the Greed what he deciphered from Vermouth's comments. According to Shinichi, the words "everything would come down" gives the detective the added breakthrough and tells Ankh to head for the basement and the Greed reluctantly did so and after some five minutes of traveling down via the stairs at the fire exit, he found the Taka Candroid hovering over the bomb which is placed on the boiler room tank.

"Is that the bomb?"

"Yes...but to deactivate it...here's what you do...and listen carefully..."

Under Shinichi's instruction, Ankh cuts off the blue wire and the bomb's timer stopped with 00:10 on display. The bomb is now diffused and the Greed feels relieved that the first task is completed, but then he heard footsteps so he sneaked his way out of the basement area as SWAT members came and found the bomb diffused.

"Sir...here's the bomb!"

"Okay...deactivate it immediately..."

"Sir...it's already been diffused..."

"Seriously? Who would've done this? It's a miracle that someone is here before us and saved this building..."

"What do we do next?"

"Search the upper floors for any possible bombs...and possible suspects..."

The SWAT members have no idea who diffused it are now searching the area for any suspect.

-x-

At the second skyscraper, Ai Haibara arrived and sent several Taka Candroids to the upper floors after telling the owner of the bomb threat, which it took a few minutes of difficulty due to her "child form" but her calm determination and showing him Teiji Moriya's journal, the owner took her word and began instructing his staff to evacuate the building as Ai commences her search for the bombs by heading for the stairs via the fire exit.

"Okay...since this place has lots of floors...and with less time remaining...I'd better let these take the matter..."

Ai immediately went to the 2nd and 3rd floors after noting that neither of the Candroids found one so she proceeded to head for the 4th floor and once she arrived she began her search though she knew it would take up a lot of her time due to the several rooms she had to enter, but then her cellphone rang and she answered it, which a coded voice spoke to her, much to her suspicion.

Caller: "Hello...listen carefully...I know where the bomb is..."

Ai: "Who is this? And how do you know about the bomb?"

Caller: "Who I am is not important...but finding the bomb is..."

Ai: "Okay...if I listen to you..."

Caller: "Then you'd better get going once I give you the clue...if you fail to guess it...the Heaven will fall upon you...and you will blame no one but yourself...I hope you'll find the bomb once you figure out the riddle I told you...goodbye, then..."

Ai: "What? Is this some kind of a joke?"

Caller: "That's up to you...goodbye..."

Ai: "Hello...wait! Hello? Great... "Heaven will fall upon me"...wait! Could it be...?"

Ai had no idea that the coded voice belonged to Vermouth, as the scene shows that Vermouth is just a few meters away from the skyscrapers, holding pictures of Teiji's journal containing the bombs and its locations and she is actually helping Ai solved the bomb search, since she considers her as Shinichi's "assistant silver bullet".

Back inside the skyscraper, Ai uses the elevator as she heads for the penthouse after the words "Heaven will fall upon you" kept on ringing her head and hoped that it is not a trick, as she slowly guessed that it is Vermouth who is speaking to her, yet she is baffled as to why she is helping her in finding the bombs. By then she got out of the elevator and looked around the penthouse and there she found what she is looking for.

"Bingo! Looks like the caller...if that is Vermouth...did provide me a valuable clue..."

Ai found the bombs, about four of them attached to four pillars and after a thorough look, she realized that the components of the bombs contained powerful chemicals and then saw a huge boiler tank attached above the pillars, realizing that if the bombs exploded and hits the boiler tank, its combination effects would weaken the structure's support columns and the skyscraper would fall down like what happened to the Twin Towers at New York City in America.

"That Teiji Moriya...he's really a sicko for a 47-year old..."

By then she used her remote control to summon the Taka Candroids and there the mechas arrived, instructing them to carefully remove the bombs and cut off the blue wires so as the timer would stop. It worked as the timer stopped at about 00:55, and after that she went to the ground floor and tells the owner that the skyscraper is safe and the bombs deactivated as she showed it to him.

"A...a bomb?"

"It's okay...it's been taken cared off..."

"Oh...how can I repay you..."

"Call the police and give this to them..."

"I will...thank you!"

As the owner calls for his staff members, Ai leaves immediately as she heads for the third skyscraper to find the 3rd bomb, and hoped that Ankh has better luck in finding the remaining bombs.

To Be Continued…

Ankh and Ai have diffused the first two bombs and must find the three remaining ones or an explosion would rock Tokyo to its foundation. Luckily Shinichi is there to assist Ankh, but why would Vermouth want to help them diffuse the bomb, since the Black Organization is not involved?

Preview:

Ankh and Ai struggles to find the remaining bombs and beat the clock in order to diffuse them, but will they be able to get there on time, as they wasted a lot of time in finding and diffusing the first two bombs?
