Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"You've been sneaking around since just now. What do you want to do?"

Pulling out a Glock from his back and pointing it at the suspected location, Yuji tightened his grip on the gun handle and frowned.

[The breath is stable, and it seems that he is not afraid of the gun in my hand. Either he is confident that he can defeat me, or he knows my identity...]

He fired a shot into a deserted place and immediately took back his phone. Yuji snorted again: "Come out!"

Knowing that she couldn't hide it, Xiaolan hurriedly called Machiko, then raised her hands and stood opposite Yuji.

"It's you?!"

Confused by Machiko's shout, Yuji blinked and put the pistol back into his waist: "Why are you here?"

"I...I saw you driving over, so worry came over me."

Xiaolan realized that the man in front of her had deliberately ignored the Machiko call she just made, so she mustered up her courage and took a step forward.

"Machiko, you..."

"Wait! What are you talking about?" Mr. Yoshioka raised his right hand and extended his palm to signal the girl to stop.

He is dead, what happened to Machiko? Belmode was exposed and confessed himself?

Yuji suddenly remembered that the one who cuckolded his elder brother was Miss Chris, and there was no need for him to be so scared. But now is not the time to argue with my sister-in-law here. I have to go and defuse the bomb as soon as possible. If I'm too late, I don't know how many people will be killed.

"Escape quickly." Glancing at Xiaolan, Mr. Yoshioka once again picked up the bomb disposal tool box at his feet, broke the glass of the sewage treatment center door with his gun, and ran in quickly.

[That guy didn’t know that I heard his voice in the toilet, and he wanted to deal with me. 】

Although she was unhappy to be treated as a fool by Yuji, Xiaolan also knew what was the top priority at the moment. After thinking for a while, she also raised her feet and entered the building of the processing center.

There are three branch buildings surrounding the Aipido Sewage Treatment Center building, which are used to connect domestic wastewater transported from Mikawa Town, Aipido Town and Ekoda Town. As for some unusual special wastewater, it is not managed here.

Standing inside the building, Yuji looked at the central building that was hollow to the top, and tilted his head to look at the location of the center.

"The location chosen for placing the bomb liquid discharge device must be where the three central links are connected. Only in this way can it be guaranteed to detonate at the same time and cause maximum damage."

With his leather-shoeed feet tapping the ground, Yuji pressed the elevator button. After walking in, his eyes rested on the control panel on the tenth floor underground.

[The tenth floor is probably the location of the valve at the sewer outlet, so it should be the most likely place to install it. 】

Of course, it is also the most difficult. There should be patrols and inspections in that kind of place every day. If you want to do such a big game, Furukawa Ayaka and those gangsters alone cannot do it.

(This time...this time it's not me.)

It seems that the person who planned the overall situation this time is the real bomber seven years ago. Before he traveled through time, the comics and animation were not updated to this point, so he didn't know the real identity of that person at all.

"Otherwise, we can directly lead the people from the police station to arrest him."

I heard Toru Amuro said that after being shot by a pistol, he could still fly over the walls of a building. He must be a man. According to Aoyama's inertia, he cannot escape because he is a Japanese...

Before the elevator closed, a hand came in with a bang, inserted into the gap, and opened the door. With the harsh friction sound, Xiaolan's slightly rosy face appeared in the young man's eyes. [Bah, who says women are inferior to men. 】

Seeing the man staring at her with an unhappy expression, Xiaolan still had the guilty expression on her face, but in her mind, one after another, a kid wearing a blue smock and a yellow hat, was being pinned to the ground and being rubbed by her.

"What are you doing here?"

The elevator moved slowly downwards, and the indicator lights above the head danced one level at a time. In just one sentence, the two of them reached the tenth floor underground. They threw the pistol at their waists to Xiaolan, and Yuji took out another one from his arms. , using hand gestures.

"There may be associates of the gangsters here, so be careful."

After all, Machiko still couldn't help caring about herself. Xiaolan blushed a little, and when she thought that Machiko was Yuji, her face suddenly turned pale.

No, the Machiko in the family was Chris in disguise, so she must have been the one "playing" with him during this period of time, after all, Yuji had just returned from abroad not long ago. The crux of the matter is whether it was Yuji in the past few times...

Damn it, it was Machiko who moved around every time. If it had been me once, I wouldn't still be able to tell her gender.

When she noticed that Yuuji raised her hand to stop her, Xiaolan immediately stopped and stuck her head out from the corner with him, noticing the four corpses hanging at the entrance of the passage.

"Going through this corridor is the sewage center. It's very empty here. The slightest sound will echo, so you must not talk!"

He gestured at Xiaolan, then blinked, as if waiting for her answer. Seeing the girl's bitter face and giving him a thumbs up, Yuji nodded and took off his leather shoes. , and pointed at Xiaolan’s leather shoes.

I am worried that the leather shoes will make too much noise when walking...

Seeing her leather shoes along Yuji's fingers, Xiaolan nodded, gently took off her leather shoes and placed them next to her. She stepped on the ground wearing white stockings, feeling a little cold.

After getting ready, the two men bent down and walked under the body, stopping in the aisle.

There are three parts of the passage in front of you. The one on the left is roughly the south, the right is the north, and there is another one near the north. According to the positions of Mihua, Ekoda and Aido Port, the two passages on the right and front right are leading to the processing. The water is returned to the pipes of Yoneka Town and Ekoda Town.

Among the three explosion locations, the waterworks in Ekota Town and the Aipido Processing Center where I am currently located are connected by pipelines on the right, and the middle passes through the entire Miwa Town, so the bomb here is on the right as expected.

The hand holding the gun tightened. Yuji's nerves were tense at the moment, and his breathing was quietly quickening. Even Xiaolan who was walking behind him could hear it.

The girl was stunned for a moment, remembering what Yuuji said in the toilet and the vague reply she got on the phone. Knowing what he was afraid of, she hesitated and stretched out her hand forward.

Frightened by the sudden hand holding his, Yuji jumped up like a cat with exploded fur. Worried that he would make a sound if he fell to the ground, Xiaolan hurriedly took a step forward and lovingly caught the boy.

Feeling a solid arm on each side of his legs and waist, Yuji knew that he was being picked up by Xiaolan by the princess without opening his eyes. But after going through all the ups and downs, I'm not so nervous now.

Xiaolan was unexpectedly excited when she thought that she was holding Machiko and recalling her stinky fart. She felt that it would be better if she could see Machiko crying and acting coquettishly.

[Wait a minute, is this the bad taste that Sonoko said all boyfriends have? ! 】(End of this chapter)
