Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 106 Amusement Park Explosion
"Xinghai Paradise has been established very early. It's just that the tourist situation is not good recently, and it has been losing money. It is estimated that it will close this year."

After closing, Santo Heavy Industries will buy the land and use it to build a factory for making industrial products.

"So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, but the feeling is still the same as in the memory."

Looking at all this deja vu, inexplicably feel a little nostalgic.

"Eh?"

Yuan Tai looked at her, "So sister Xiaotang is already an aunt?"

Qinghai Chuantang's fists were crackling, and he was smiling, feeling an urge to make this kid into claypot rice.

"I'm still very young, I should call you sister."

Yuantai, who was shocked by the force, became much quieter in an instant.

"Okay, let's go and play."

Xinghai Paradise is originally a children's theme park, so roller coasters and the like do not exist at all.

At her current age, although she still has a childlike innocence, she has lost interest in these things.

In addition to Qinghai Chuantang, Conan also stayed.

It was Haibara Ai who showed great interest.Perhaps it is only at this time that she will feel that she is a child.

"Hey Xiaoai, let's go to the Ferris wheel together, shall we?"

Ayumi pointed to the Ferris wheel not far away, and proposed excitedly.

After getting the consent of the other party, Ayumi excitedly took her hand and ran to the Ferris wheel.

"Ayumi, Haibara! Wait for us!"

Yuantai and Mitsuhiko hurriedly chased after him.

"Eh, that man?"

Conan blinked, as if he had noticed something.

I saw a man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a light brown windbreaker sitting on the Ferris wheel.Judging by his expression, he looked extremely reluctant.

Just as the words fell, there was an explosion not far behind, followed by people's screams.

Looking back, I saw billowing black smoke coming out of there.

All the equipment in the amusement park stopped.

Seeing that something was wrong, the two quickly ran towards the underground control room.

The equipment was blown out a big mouth, and white smoke was coming out.

"what happened?"

A middle-aged man with gray hair and a suit walked down the stairs.Behind him is a man with a slightly higher hairline, who should be the secretary.

"President Santo, someone planted a bomb here."

Mito Shinsuke was startled, "So it wasn't a harassing phone call."

"Harassing phone calls?"

"Ten minutes ago, someone called me."

"Mr. Santo, may I ask why you are here today?"

Although it was a child who asked the question, for some reason, Santo Shinsuke had an inexplicable feeling that he would "answer every question".

"The person in charge of planning and engineering is here to inspect the park."

After finishing speaking, Santo Shinsuke looked at Takata Hiroshi who was on the phone behind him, "Have you contacted Dazhai?"

Takata Hiroshi shook his head.

At this moment, Santo Shinsuke's cell phone rang, showing an anonymous call.

"It's that guy again."

"Mr. Santo, please answer the phone and turn on the speakerphone so we can hear his voice."

Shinsuke Mito nodded.

"Hey?"

"I also installed a bomb on the Ferris wheel, which is ten times more powerful than the bomb just now. Prepare a ransom of [-] million. Your company's employees are also among the hostages."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"In addition, make it clear to the media that the construction of the factory will be suspended and the corporate team will be withdrawn."

The other party's voice was processed, and it sounded unusually dull and mechanical.

Vaguely, it seems that other voices can be heard.

Santo Shinsuke rejected the other party's request: "I can't accept this kind of request."

"If you don't obey my instructions, I will detonate the bomb. The time limit is sunset today. If you do something small, the bomb will explode immediately."

"Hey, wait!"

When Santo Shinsuke was about to say something, the other party had already hung up the phone.

On the white pole of the ferris wheel, there is a black box installed, which should be the detonating device.

Soon, the police arrived here and began to evacuate the crowd to avoid causing more damage.

"The bomb in the control room should be operated remotely through a mobile phone. Among the threatening calls made by the prisoner, there was the sound of music from the popcorn kiosk. That is to say, the prisoner is hiding in a certain place in the park. place."

Judging from the chat content of the two people's conversation, the prisoner should be someone who is very dissatisfied with Santo Heavy Industries, or has formed a grudge.

Disputes at work are inevitable.

"But if you say you hate this level, I really can't remember it."

When saying this, Santo Shinsuke kept his head slightly lowered.

"Then what if it's about building a factory on the old site of the amusement park? Any clues?"

Mito Shinsuke's eyes wandered for a moment, obviously thinking of something, but he still said, "No."

"Mr. Otaku mentioned just now, is he wearing black-rimmed glasses, a muscular man in his 40s?"

Santo Shinsuke showed a puzzled expression, "Why do you ask that?"

Qinghai Chuantang took out his mobile phone, clicked on the camera function, adjusted the multiplier, and handed it to the other party.

"Cabin 12 of the Ferris wheel."

Shinsuke Mito took the phone suspiciously, only to see a figure clearly visible on the screen.

He was surprised, isn't this the mansion?
From Santo Shinsuke's reaction, Conan instantly understood why the other party's expression was a little wrong at that time.It should have been threatened by the prisoner before sitting in the Ferris wheel.

As for the inability to be contacted, as long as you think that you are asked not to bring your mobile phone, you can explain it well.

"Then let's go first."

With that said, Qinghai Chuantang took back the phone and put it in his pocket.

There are still 6 hours and 30 minutes before the explosion——

"A dispute related to the acquisition?"

"Yes."

"Santo Heavy Industries' original plan was to renovate the amusement park and build a new entertainment venue. But it suddenly changed its mind and wanted to build a factory for manufacturing screws."

The staff rummaged through the documents while talking.

"Regarding this matter, there seems to be a big dispute within the company."

After speaking, the employee handed her the file.

When I opened it, I saw that the project content on the plan was "high-performance screws".

Due to the limited height, even if Conan stepped on the bench, he couldn't directly see the plan in her hands.

"However, I heard that the development is a small street factory." After browsing the contents, Qinghai Chuantang handed the plan to Conan.

The employee explained: "The street factory was acquired by Santo Heavy Industries. Mr. Otaku was the person in charge at that time."

News of high-performance screws was published in newspapers, and there were many discussions about using these screws.So Santo Heavy Industries changed its original plan and planned to build a factory here.

"It seems to be a bomb operated by a mobile phone. Okay, if there is any news, I will contact the company immediately."

Next to the black car on the side of the road, Hiroshi Takata was on the phone with his boss.

His mobile phone was covered with a protective case with a small and clear grapefruit pattern on it.

After hanging up the phone, Takata Hao turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly found two people standing behind him, almost having a heart attack from fright.

"Is there a problem?"

"Mr. Takada, can you tell me where Mr. Takano Kuramoto, who resigned a month ago, lives?"

"Takano?"

And Takano Cangyuan is the person in charge of the original plan to renovate Xinghai Amusement Park.

According to the address mentioned by the other party, the two found the apartment where Takano Kuramoto lived.

After knocking on the door, Takano Kuramoto thought he was persuading him to buy a newspaper, and when he was about to shake his head and say "I don't need it", Qinghai Chuantang pushed him away and broke in.

Checking the room, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual.

"Hey, why do you just enter other people's houses! I'm going to call the police!"

Takano Kuramoto pointed the umbrella at her, looking cautious.

"I'm very sorry about what happened just now."

After finishing speaking, Qinghai Chuantang bowed slightly to express his apology.

"Eh?"

Takano Kuramoto was taken aback for a moment, a little confused.

After Conan's narration, he finally understood what happened.

If he had done something bad, it was impossible for Takano Kuramoto to say that he would call the police without hesitation.

Takano Kuramoto served them two cups of tea.

"It's impossible to say that you have no idea about President Santo. If you want to overthrow the plan that is basically determined, anyone will feel uncomfortable."

"Da Zhai is responsible for the supply of precision machine parts. Suddenly one day, he mentioned to the president that there is a small factory that develops high-performance screws."

After that, many things happened.

Takano Kuramoto took out a photo frame from the shelf beside it, which was a group photo of several people.

He pointed to one of the girls with pear blossom hair and said, "This is a member of our team, because of a bicycle accident. According to the police, there was an error in the handle when riding on a night road."

"May I ask what her name is?"

"Kyomatsu Natsuko."

Qinghai Chuantang was thoughtful, and sent a text message to his friends on the road.

Remaining time, 4 hours and 35 minutes——

"Mr. Da Zhai actually became a hostage? His fiancée must be frightened when she hears about it."

"Is Mr. Otaku getting married?"

"Yes. The president's daughter who is associated with Mito Heavy Industries."

Because of the high-performance screws, Da Zhai naturally won the appreciation of his superiors, and he deliberately wanted to promote him.

"I heard that this factory was acquired by Santo Heavy Industries a year ago?"

The factory manager nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Da Zhai is very fond of the high-performance screws developed, and asked us if we want to join their banner."

When he reached the exit of the screw, the factory manager stopped.After taking out a screw from the basket and wiping it clean, he handed it to Qinghai Chuantang.

And explained: "This is the high-performance screw produced by our factory."

Unlike ordinary screws, high-performance screws are thicker and longer.

This kind of high-performance screw has considerable market value, why not choose your own company to produce it?
Qinghai Chuantang asked out the doubts in his heart.

The other party replied with a smile: "Because the purchase amount is very satisfying."

There are many things in the world that can be solved with money.If it doesn't work out, maybe more money will be needed.

At this time, Conan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something in the crack below.

He picked it up with a handkerchief and saw that it was a screw.

After walking out of the factory, Conan compared the two screws and found that they were very different.

"The high-performance screws are made of iron and steel, but the raw material of the screws manufactured by this factory is aluminum."

And the latter looks no different from ordinary screws.

How can such an epoch-making screw be easily developed with completely different raw materials?
So Conan came to a conclusion.

"This high-performance screw was not developed by Lingyao Precision Machinery."

However, Qinghai Chuantang's face was full of calm, without even a moment's surprise.

Conan felt a little strange, "Could it be, you have already seen it?"

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head, and said solemnly: "Just according to the plot in the film and television drama, there must be something strange in it."

Remaining time, 3 hours and 20 minutes——

The two were in the reference room, looking through the mansion's invoice record book.

If the high-performance screws are not from Lingyao Precision Machinery, it must be among the customers who have a close relationship with the mansion.

Dazhai stole the data, took it to Lingyao Jingji, and treated it as his own.

According to this way of thinking, the only question left is "Why didn't the stolen party sue Sando Heavy Industries".

"Eh?"

Conan stopped suddenly, comparing with the record book on the side.

"Mr. Otaku seems to go to this place called 'Kori Japanese Confectionery' very often."

According to the navigation, the two came to the pastry shop together.

I took out a photo of the mansion and asked the store manager if I had any impression of it.

The store manager is an elderly man.

He narrowed his eyes and finally saw the face of the man in the photo.

"For a while, he came here often, as if he was going to give something to someone."

"Thank you. Is there a factory that manufactures screws near here?"

"Screws"

There is indeed such a factory nearby.

But when they arrived, there was an open space around, which had obviously been moved away.

The two went to a nearby ramen shop again and asked about the situation.

The store manager is an elderly woman, her skin is obviously loose, but she still looks very energetic.

In the photo, she took a group photo with three employees in the factory.

"They and I came to Tokyo collectively to work 50 years ago."

"Kuroki and the others took over the factory from the previous generation who had no children, and worked hard. The screws they made themselves can be used for things that make people happy, and they can be proud."

The three of them also love learning very much.

After work every day, I will learn about screws, and then study until late.

Finally, they successfully developed a strong screw.

"Is it a high-performance screw?"

"What it was, I don't know. It's just that they were yelling, 'Here's a super-powerful screw'."

The women cheered, as if infected by the joy.

"But shortly after that, the factory caught fire. All the research data on the screws are gone."

The woman's expression instantly became sad, and she sighed softly.

"Excuse me, what is the cause of the fire accident?"

"I heard that someone set it on fire. However, no criminal was found. In the end, the land was confiscated by the bank, and everyone left this place. They used to be proud of that amusement park."

The woman laughed and said, "I always say that the entertainment facilities inside are all made of their screws."

Just listening to the other party's narration, Qinghai Chuantang had already imagined the emotions of the three people at that time, as well as the extremely proud expressions on their faces.

Excitement, joy, pride, pride... But in the end, everything came to naught.

How could they not complain?

On the TV on the wall of the ramen restaurant, the news of the latest time period is being broadcast, and what is displayed on it is the picture of the Ferris wheel in the amusement park.

"It is said that the prisoner triggered the second explosion in order to intimidate the police. The situation at the scene is very tense"
