Stay away from Conan.

After Gao Yuan's simple explanation, the police did have a general direction for the investigation and began a comprehensive search of the vicinity. Because they had a general direction, they eventually found traces of a suspicious person in a nearby building that was accessible freely. They discovered that the person had been here before the explosion, and someone had noticed that the person seemed to be observing the direction of the explosion site with a telescope.

It's a pity that the man had left before the police began their search. All we know is his general attire and appearance: he was a middle-aged man wearing a light grey windbreaker and glasses.

However, it would be a bit difficult to find this person based on this, after all, we don’t know where this person went.

Therefore, although the police are still pursuing this clue, it is obviously impossible for the police to focus all their energy on it. After all, according to the fax from the criminal, there are at least two more bombs. If the bombs cannot be found, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, even though they had discovered the suspected criminal through a search of the area, Inspector Megure and the others could not relax. They felt extremely troubled by the words in the fax sent by the criminal.

"Extension...Extension...Will it be Nanbeihu Station?"

On Inspector Megure's side, Inspector Megure, Inspector Shiratori, Takagi Wataru, and Sato Miwako are now looking at the secret code left by the criminal and thinking about it while comparing it with the map.

Among them, Sato Miwako was the first to make such a guess after careful consideration.

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

Takagi Wataru was puzzled.

"Sato, what do you think?"

Inspector Megure asked.

"In the incident three years ago, the bombs were placed at the Ferris wheel in Haido Town and at the Beika Central Hospital. The roads facing these two places intersect at this station when extended."

Sato Miwako replied.

  In this regard, Takagi Shigeru couldn't help but wonder:

"Eh? But this is just a far-fetched interpretation of 'extra game' as 'extension line'?"

"No, since there is a station next to the intersection, it means there should be brakes, which means it is a railway crossing."

Next, Sato Miwako continued to explain in detail.

  Therefore, after hearing this, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but think:

"So... 'Steel Strike Zone' is..."

"The 'iron box' refers to the train, and the blood-stained mound, could it be referring to the red-bodied train on the Touto Line?"

At this time, including Officer Shiratori, they continued their analysis because of Sato Miwako's broadened thinking.

For a moment, Sato Miwako, Takagi Wataru and Officer Shiratori tried their best to show their wisdom when facing this incident, and began to analyze the code left by the criminal -

After all, this is related to the incident of Matsuda Jinpei three years ago. Now, it is not only Sato Miwako who wants to completely put an end to this matter. Even Takagi Wataru and Officer Shiratori are also thinking that perhaps by completely arresting the criminal, they can at least make up for Sato Miwako's regret.

Therefore, the three of them are now trying their best to think and analyze, and they don’t even have the intention of keeping anything to themselves. They just say whatever they think of, just to get the matter over with faster resolution.

In response to this, after listening to the analysis of these three people, Officer Megure nodded and said:

"Okay! I'll send someone to investigate right away!" With that, Officer Megure immediately reported the situation to his superiors. Then, because the entire operation was under the command of Manager Matsumoto, Minamibeido Station was immediately investigated by the police, and a comprehensive search of the train was also started.

So, looking at this scene in front of her, Xiao Ai, who was originally riding in Sato Miwako's car to go home, actually discovered the whereabouts of the bomber because of Gao Yuan's sudden suggestion, and also avoided the accident that Officer Shiratori and others might have encountered.

In this situation, Xiao Ai looked at Gao Yuan beside her and couldn't help but think that Gao Yuan was taking this incident too seriously.

  However, if that was the case, why didn't Gao Yuan answer the code on the fax from the criminal? After telling Officer Megure about his analysis of the criminal's whereabouts, he just stood there watching?

At this point, Xiao Ai sighed helplessly at what was happening before her eyes.

So at least it seems that Gao Yuan will not just give up and ignore the follow-up of this matter, but since he has not expressed any opinion on the code until now, it is because of this code...

  What to say?

Is it a bit like a childish prank, and therefore not in line with Gao Yuan’s thinking?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but look a little indifferent, and said to Gao Yuan beside her:

"Don't you think this criminal is just like a child? A bad boy holding a toy bomb in his hand, setting a trap and wanting people to fall into it."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan, who was originally thinking, finally spoke and responded to Xiao Ai's words:

"The criminal's behavior logic is the same as three years ago. He gave the location of the first bomb directly, but only gave a rough range for the second one. I guess he wants to know the complete address and make the police go through that choice again!"

So, hearing this, Xiao Ai suddenly raised her head and looked at Gao Yuan——

  "The location of the first bomb was given directly, but the second bomb only gave an approximate range?

"Wait a minute! So Gao Yuan actually..."

If Gao Yuan had not already deciphered the content of the code, how could he say these words with such certainty?

For a moment, Xiao Ai was a little confused. If Gao Yuan had already cracked the code, why was he now watching the police's anxious operation?

And, let the police go through that choice again...

  What is going on again?

Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel a little confused. She couldn't understand what Gao Yuan was thinking this time.

Obviously, when he urged Officer Sato to come find Officer Shiratori and the others, he was so nervous, but now, why is it that...

  After thinking for a while, Xiao Ai noticed that Gao Yuan also talked about the incident three years ago. It seemed that he knew a lot about that incident, so Xiao Ai asked curiously:

"The incident three years ago...what exactly happened?"

  In response to this question, Xiao Ai was also thinking, whether Gao Yuan’s current actions are also related to what happened three years ago?

So, after hearing Xiao Ai's special question, Gao Yuan had nothing to hide, so he explained the whole thing to Xiao Ai.

In particular, the most crucial point is that three years ago, Jinpei Matsuda could have defused the bomb before it exploded, but in order to obtain the location information of another bomb, he gave up the chance to survive. After obtaining the information and passing it on, he bravely went to die and told Ai about it.

As a result, after hearing this, Xiao Ai had a plan in mind -

So, Gao Yuan clearly knows the answer to the code but doesn't tell it. Could it be because... (End of this chapter)
