Start by Becoming a Mangaka

Kogorou, who had just come back from the sports center, was a bit startled. "What do you mean, Yuuki?"

Yuuki walked toward the other bomb which was near the lift.

"H - hey, what are you doing?" Kogorou wanted to stop him.

"Don't worry, this thing is fake," Yuuki said.

"Fake?" They were startled.

"How did you know this bomb was fake?" Ran asked.

"Before we talked about the bomb, let me explain about the shirt on the ground," Yuuki said and started to explain, "This shirt has a meaning of flag signaling, that is used in the difficult place where it's hard to convey a verbal message such as the sea or mountains and the meaning of this signal is 'I saw your burying him'. It couldn't be a sea and it had to be a mountain."

"But what about 12:29?" Conan asked.

"12:29, it's about the thing that happened on the 12th of December," Yuuki started to tell them about the case that was happening on that day and showed them the news.

They saw the news about someone who died in the snow mountain.

"The bomber wants to know who is the sender of this shirt since the bomber is the killer of the man in this news," Yuuki explained.

"What?" They were startled when they heard this sentence, there were one people that had a nervous expression but hurriedly became calm.

"The bomber has been waiting for someone to buy the shirt in 12:29 but he didn't find the sender," Yuuki said.

"Wait? He? A bomber is a man? Do you know the bomber?" Kogorou asked.

Yuuki nodded, "That's right the bomber is right beside us, right old man?" He looked at the old man that was strapped with a bomb on his body.

"Me?" The old man was startled, "How can I be the bomber? The bomber knocked me and strapped me with this bomb!"

"That's right," Kogorou nodded.

"First, don't you think it's strange that he can move around? He has been following you to the sports center, and I'm surprised that the bomber didn't make the bomb on his body explode to do something stupid," Yuuki said.

"But what if he has an accomplice?" Ran asked.

Yuuki shook his head, "There's no accomplice, he does it by himself, for the evidence you can see around you, there are a lot of people who have been using their phones for a while but there is no response or something."

The old man became pale when he heard his reason.

"But why does he have to use a bomb?" Kogorou asked.

"He wanted to know who the sender of that shirt was, he was very anxious every day and decided to use the desperate method with this fake bombing terrorism," Yuuki said.

"So who is the sender of this shirt?" Conan asked.

Yuuki took a receipt and pointed at the time, "12:29, the time of this receipt, this is the clue who is the one sender of this shirt."

Conan suddenly noticed it, "Don't tell me, it's the employee?"

Yuuki nodded, "That's right, it's impossible to buy at the same time every day except the employee itself, right, Seta-San?" He looked at the woman who was looking at him.

Seta looked at him, "How did you know?"

The old man who saw this woman was stunned, "Mai-Chan... Are you Mai-Chan? Maruoka-San's daughter?"

Seta looked at him with anger, "That's right, I'm the daughter of Maruoka Daisuke, the one who you killed 13 years ago in the snowy mountains! So will you stop adding '-Chan' casually on my name!?"

Both of them started to argue with each other. Seta started to tell him that the death of her father was because of him and she also told him that it was because he wanted to hide news about the embezzlement of his company to her father.

The old man took something from his pocket, "T - then you're satisfied right? Can you give back my son?"

"Ha? Your son?" Seta looked confused.

"Don't lie to me, you've kidnapped my son, right? Give my son back!" The old man said,

"Hoo, I see is that your aim?" Yuuki suddenly said,

"Eh?" Seta and the old man looked at him in surprise.

"Since she sent that shirt to you, it has worked in favor of you, you can use this reason to cause a commotion with that bomb," Yuuki said, and added, "But don't forget, she has solid evidence that you're the killer of her father."

"S - solid evidence?" the old man was stunned.

"Remembering the message earlier, 'I saw you burying him', she really has seen you burying her father," Yuuki said.

"Hahaha, that's all talk!" The old man started to laugh.

"All talk?"

"Isn't it? At that time, the snowstorm is very strong that you can't even open your eyes, so even if there is someone nearby...."

"Does that mean it's not possible to see the place where you buried him?" Yuuki asked.

"Ah... No...." The old man started to panic.

"Seeing a mountain for the first time must mean that you're a novice climber, even though, there was a snowstorm, you wouldn't be able to travel far from the cabin to bury him," Yuuki smiled since he knew that it was a checkmate, "So if we dig near the cabin we might find it, the body of the one you killed 13 years ago."

The old man knew that he couldn't deny it again and knew that his crime had been uncovered.

Yuuki sighed since it was over. He looked at Conan and winked at him.

Conan grumbled about his side feeling defeated by him.
