Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 462 Speed ​​of Life and Death! Art is Explosion! (Seeking monthly tickets!)

"I see……"

Inspector Megure sighed slightly, spread his hands, and said, "If you think of any other suspicious clues, please let me know at any time."

Although we didn't get any particularly useful information from the Junior Detective Team, at least we got to know some characteristics of that mysterious man. That's better than nothing, right?
The three little ones responded obediently, "Okay!"

Looking at his friends, Mitsuhiko pondered for a moment and suggested, "By the way, I think it's almost time for us to go home."

It has been a long time since these people left. If they don't go back, their families will be worried.

"makes sense."

Yuanta nodded in agreement, "Conan is much better now..."

If Conan was still in a coma like before, they would naturally be worried about going back.

But now that the other party has woken up and the doctor said that he is not seriously injured, it is time for them to go back.

Ayumi naturally had no objection to this, but before leaving, she did not forget to remind Conan, "Conan, if you have any troubles, I will come right over!"

My little friend is still lying in the hospital bed, and this is the time when he needs care and concern the most.

"Thanks."

What else could Conan say? He could only scratch his head and express his gratitude to Ayumi, this kind and lovely girl.

Although he has nothing to say, it is different for Genta and Mitsuhiko. Now they have a lot of heartfelt words they want to say to Conan, their little friend.

"Huh, Conan is so nice!"

With his arms folded, Yuan Tai curled his lips, pretending to be indifferent.

On the surface, he seemed not to care about Ayumi's closeness to Conan at all, but in fact, his back teeth were almost bitten off by him.

Not caring? How could he not care?

He cares a lot!
You know, Ayumi is the girl he likes, but now she is so caring and concerned about Conan, he has been completely jealous!
Beside him, Mitsuhiko narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted with jealousy, "We both want to be hospitalized right now, too."

In fact, it's not just Genta who is jealous of Conan, he is jealous too.

After all, Genta is not the only one who likes Ayumi, he actually likes Ayumi as a friend too!

Yes, he admitted that Conan was better than him in reasoning and other aspects, so much so that sometimes he couldn't help but admire him.

But no matter how much he admires her, the other person can't snatch the girl he likes away from him!
"Conan..." Seeing this, Maori Kogoro pinched his chin, his eyes flashing with gossip, with a playful look on his face: "I didn't expect you to be so popular! You little brat is quite good at it!"

Tsk tsk, kids nowadays are so precocious. They are still in primary school, but they already have someone they like, and they get jealous of everyone.

This really opened the eyes of a person of the older generation like him!
However, if he remembered correctly, these two little brats, Genta and Mitsuhiko, should have known Ayumi first and fell in love with each other first, right?

As a result, in Ayumi's eyes now, there is only Conan, the latecomer.

I have to say, this naughty kid is really good at picking up girls!

It seems that he won't have to worry about this guy not being able to find a girlfriend in the future.

"Ha ha……"

Conan laughed dryly, feeling bitter but unable to express himself.

If it was his childhood sweetheart who liked him like this, he would definitely laugh out loud with joy.

But, what if this person is Ayumi? Haha, let's just spare him.

Who wants to be liked by a little kid like Ayumi? He is not a real child, let alone a lolita complex!

He doesn't want to smelt copper!
The only girl he likes is his daughter Xiaolan!
It’s a pity that he can’t express the depression in his heart, let alone confide it to others.

Alas, it is really too difficult for him.

"Then we'll go back first."

Not noticing his complicated mood, Genta and the others looked at each other, walked to the door, and then looked at Conan who was still lying on the hospital bed.

"Goodbye, Conan."

After saying goodbye to Conan, Genta and others left the room.

"Thanks……"

Watching the three little ones disappear behind the door, Officer Megure pondered for a moment, "Speaking of which..."

Retracting his gaze, Officer Megure couldn't help but complain, "At such an important moment, where on earth did Kudo Shinichi go?"

In the past, when I didn't want to meet a detective, I would always meet an uninvited high school detective at the crime scene. But now, when I need him the most, he is nowhere to be seen.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say to his brother.

Hearing the complaint, Dr. Agasa and Conan on the hospital bed looked at each other, and didn't know what to say. They could only laugh awkwardly twice.

They can say that Kudo Shinichi is right in front of you now, lying on the hospital bed.

Definitely not.

"Jingle Bell……"

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room. "Wait a minute, Conan..." Looking at the phone still buzzing on the table, Conan just supported himself and was about to answer it, but Maori Kogoro, who was standing beside him, reached out and stopped him: "Pay attention, if it's the criminal calling, give the phone to me!"

A certain bastard high school detective gave such dangerous tasks as contacting the criminal and moving the bomb to a little kid like Conan. Kogoro Mouri would never follow his example and do the same.

Rather than letting Conan, a child, take risks, he would rather deal with the criminal himself.

After all, it doesn't make sense for adults to not take action and instead let a child take the risk!
"Ok!"

Conan nodded seriously, then took the phone, pretending to know nothing, and asked, "Hello, who is this?"

The next moment, a strange voice came from the other end of the phone, "I didn't expect you to find that bomb. You deserve a reward."

Hearing this, Conan nodded calmly to Kogoro Mouri and others.

Noticing his actions, how could everyone not understand that this call was made by the mysterious man who had stolen a large amount of gunpowder from the Japanese gunpowder depot and caused several explosions.

"But you little brat can step down now and call Kudo Shinichi out immediately."

Maori Kogoro took the phone from Conan and turned on the speakerphone so that everyone in the room could hear the call. He put his hands in his pockets and looked serious. "That's right, now it's adult time!"

Hearing the stranger's voice coming from the phone, the mysterious man asked vigilantly, "Who are you? Where is Kudo Shinichi?"

"Kudo Shinichi is not here..."

Maori Kogoro looked serious, "Kudo Shinichi is not here, but I am enough to deal with you!"

After adjusting his tie, Maori Kogoro introduced himself, "Listen to me, I am the famous detective Maori Kogoro."

The mysterious man on the other end of the phone sneered a few times: "That's fine, but I'll only say it once. Listen carefully. I have installed five bombs on the Dongdu Loop Line."

Others may not know whether Kogoro Mouri is a famous detective or not, but how could he, who has had contact with him before, not know?
What famous detective can't solve even a small puzzle?

Anyway, it was the first time he had seen such a famous detective!
He seriously suspected that the so-called famous detective Kogoro Mori was most likely a person who was seeking fame and deceiving the world.

But it’s better this way. If the other party is really a famous detective, he would have to worry about his plan being discovered and his true identity being revealed!
In other words, Kogoro Mori is a waste, which is exactly what he thinks.

Because in this case, once his plan is successfully completed, not only the high school detective Kudo Shinichi will be disgraced, but also the so-called famous detective Mori Kogoro, which will also cause other people to question and dispute the profession of detective.

You know, he has no good feelings towards the so-called detectives!

"Five bombs?"

When these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Although it was known for a long time that the other party had stolen so much gunpowder from the Japanese gunpowder depot, it was impossible for them to just throw the gunpowder aside and ignore it.

But they really didn't expect that the other party would use the gunpowder to make so many plastic bombs, and the bombs were installed in places like the circular line.

While they were shocked, the mysterious man continued, "The bomb will explode after 4pm today if the train is traveling at a speed less than 60 kilometers per hour. Also, if you fail to successfully defuse the bomb before sunset, it will also explode!
At this point, the mysterious man paused and said, "This time, I will only give you a hint!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and simultaneously leaned closer to their mobile phones, trying to catch every detail: "I installed the five bombs at the XX of X on the Dongdu Loop Line, and each X represents a word."

"Okay, now it all depends on you, Detective Maori!"

After saying that, the mysterious man hung up the phone without waiting for Kogoro Mouri to reply.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, Maori Kogoro pondered for a moment and closed the phone. "I think he just wants to scare people. How can there be a bomb in the loop line!"

Installing bombs on a loop line, and the number of bombs installed is not just one or two, but five. Only a crazy person can do this!

You should know that the Toto Loop Line, also known as the Toto Railway (TR), is the largest transportation artery in the center of Tokyo and the backbone of the Tokyo metropolitan railway network. The line is ring-shaped with many hubs along the line. The ring-shaped line connects the main areas of the center of the city and is the lifeline of Tokyo's transportation.

In terms of urban development, the Touto Loop Line has roughly become the boundary between the central area and suburban areas of Tokyo, as well as a transfer point for railway transportation.

Since most of the subway lines are staggered with the inner side of the Toudou Loop Line, and most of the private railways are distributed radially from the outer side of the loop to the suburbs, there are many transfer stations on the Toudou Loop Line.

In other words, if the mysterious person really installed several bombs on the loop line and successfully detonated them, then not only would the lives of all the passengers on and near the train be seriously threatened, the entire Tokyo railway network would also be completely paralyzed!
He really didn't think anyone could do such a cruel thing!

"No, I think he's serious..."

Inspector Megure was not as optimistic as he was. "I'm afraid he has already set up the bomb and will detonate it at 4pm."

A person who would install a bomb on a toy plane given to children, and a person who would set a bomb in a crowded place like a rice flower station, is obviously a crazy person who has no regard for laws and regulations!
For such a lawless person, is there anything that he can't do?
In other words, it wouldn't be surprising if a madman like this did anything so crazy!
"At 60 o'clock, if the train speed drops below kilometers, the bomb will really explode as he said!"

Even if the mysterious man did not actually set up any bomb, he could not gamble with the lives of innocent passengers!

Because he can't afford the gamble!
"In short, I have to contact the headquarters immediately."

Taking a deep breath, Officer Megure took out the phone from his pocket and prepared to report to his superiors.

"Hello, I'm Megure..."

The impact of this case is so terrible, and the consequences involved are so huge and serious!
If something really happened, he really couldn't bear the blame!
After all, he is just a small police captain!

Moreover, when it comes to matters involving the Toudou Loop Line and bombs, it would be impossible for him, the police chief, to handle it alone. He must seek help from his superiors.

Seeing his actions, Conan, who was lying on the bed, had an extremely solemn look in his eyes.

His thoughts were the same as what Inspector Megure said. They both believed that the mysterious man was not lying to them, but had really laid several bombs on the Toudou Loop Line. As long as the time came, or the speed of the train dropped below 60 kilometers per hour, these bombs would explode on their own.

However, what is the mysterious man's purpose, and why does he do this?
Is it to challenge the famous detective Kudo Shinichi and the police?
Or is it that the other party really is someone who has a personal grudge against him, and is seeking revenge against him, a high school detective, for what happened in the past?

But if this is true, who is the other party?
For a moment, Conan couldn't help but fell into deep thought...
