Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 430 Trial Again
bang-bang-bang-

Then, Shiraishi began punching the jammed safety door repeatedly with both hands...

Under normal circumstances, Conan would definitely think that the other person was doing something futile in their desperation—you're a human, not a jack...

But Shiraishi is different!

Although Shiraishi was human, the shockwaves from each punch he threw were enough to make Conan's hair stand on end...

Physique Lv.11 Trial Start!
One hundred thousand points were consumed instantly...

The safety door, which was originally deformed outwards, gradually became concave inwards.

Seeing that the safety door had finally revealed a small gap due to its concave shape, Shiraishi stopped what he was doing and then used both hands to grab the small gap and pull it outwards!
Drink!

With Bai Shi's energetic shouts, the safety door was slowly torn down.

At that moment, Conan noticed that there was a pile of rubble blocking the way inside the door...

Clearly, if it weren't for these things, Shiraishi would have blasted the door down long ago!

"Little Black!" Ayako exclaimed excitedly, not caring whether there were any outsiders present.

"Shinichi... um? Conan?" Ran was surprised to see Conan there.

It's fine if we don't see Shinichi right away...

How did Conan end up in such a dangerous place?
"Um...that..." Conan was also embarrassed at this moment.

"Kudo asked him to come... Alright, you guys leave quickly!" Shiraishi said, first putting down the aya hanging on his body.

As Shiraishi spoke, he walked towards the "gift bag"...

"Little Black! No..." Ayako exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing... You guys hurry up and leave!" Shiraishi shouted immediately.

Shiraishi opened it and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was a countdown, and just as his biological clock predicted, there were still two and a half minutes left...

"Ran-neechan, Ayako-neechan, over here!" Conan immediately said, pulling the child Ran had just rescued along with him.

By this time, explosions had occurred in many places, but Conan knew that there was no road blocked by the ruins.

Conan, who knew what Shiraishi was up to, knew that he had to run as far down as possible!

Meanwhile, Shiraishi, with the bag containing the bomb in his mouth, climbed out the window...

Defused the bomb slowly and deliberately, which is not Shiraishi's style. Moreover... no one who loaded the bomb admitted that it was not possible to immediately determine exactly how to cut the wire. In the end, they still had to take a gamble.

Rather than gambling on luck, Shiraishi has more faith in his own abilities!

Outside the Beika City Hall, Shiraishi was climbing upwards like a superhero. Even though there seemed to be no bumps or footholds, Shiraishi used his finger strength, wrist strength, and balance to climb one floor at a time in just a few seconds.

Even professional rock climbers and specialized climbing walls might not be able to achieve this speed...

The Mihana City Hall is 243 meters tall and has 48 floors. Shiraishi started climbing from the fifth floor.

Two and a half minutes, or more than 150 seconds, was really not enough for Shiraishi to climb to the 48th floor, but... he did manage to climb to the 33rd floor!
On the 33rd floor, there is a huge platform. Above that, the skyscraper is divided into two sides, forming a twin-tower structure.

After climbing up to this point, Shiraishi stood on the edge of the platform and glanced at the bomb in the bag...

8...7...6...

Just right!
Shiroshi suddenly assumed a "urinal-holding" posture, and then his arm muscles bulged violently. At the same time, a blue light flashed on the bomb—it was very unscientific, but fortunately no one saw it!

Then the time bomb was thrown high into the air by Shiraishi...

That's right. At this moment, Shiraishi was in the trial period of Physique Lv.11, with his strength off the charts and exceeding the scientifically achievable limits of this body. At the same time, he also used red magic to give the bomb a weight reduction buff!

The height of the throw was secondary; the main point was that it was thrown far away from the building...

In theory, a skyscraper like the Mihana City Hall cannot be destroyed by a few bombs. Unless a missile hits a key location, it can only destroy it, not collapse it.

However, just to be on the safe side, Shiraishi decided to minimize the damage—otherwise, even if the whole thing collapsed, if several floors collapsed, Ayako and the others who might not have escaped yet would also be in danger!

……

When Shiraishi started climbing the exterior wall, people had already noticed—after all, it was only the fifth floor at that time.

Murasakibara, who was on the scene immediately, made a last-minute decision...

Point the searchlight at Chief Inspector Shiraishi!

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone outside, Shiraishi quickly climbed to the 33rd floor and then threw out the bomb.

Then, right before everyone's eyes, a huge explosion occurred in the air!

The orange flames also had a hint of green light...

Even at an altitude of over 200 meters, the onlookers below could still feel the impact of the explosion—this nearly 10-kilogram plastic bomb, also known as a C4 bomb, could still generate an impact pressure of about 1,000 Pa from 200 meters away!
This number wasn't enough to injure someone, but it was equivalent to a Category 12 typhoon, though only for a moment.

Bai Shi looked on helplessly as several large lights shone down on him—on the thirty-third floor, the light was barely visible.

Shiraishi knew that this was most likely the work of Deputy Director Murasakibara, whose purpose was obviously to promote himself and further solidify the image of "Director Beika" as a virtuous and righteous figure, but...

It was like a superhero's entrance, which was a bit awkward. More importantly, thankfully we were far away now, otherwise Shiraishi's magic would have definitely backfired badly!
Shiraishi is now also feeling some backlash, but it's not strong—after all, "evolution" is the supernatural power least likely to suffer backlash!

If a frail, ordinary person were to do something like that—whether it's climbing a building or throwing a bomb—and be seen doing it, they would be questioned, "Is this reasonable?"

However, when it comes to Shiraishi, most people would have a voice in their hearts saying, "This makes perfect sense."

After all, ordinary people don't have Shiraishi's body, so it's difficult for them to judge whether what Shiraishi did is scientifically sound.

If it were Hongzi, doing all this in front of everyone, she would probably be collapsed here by now!
……

With the arrival of May 4th, Mika's bomb crisis was finally resolved...

After Shiraishi came down, Ayako pounced on him, ignoring the stares of others, and clung to him. Shiraishi had just left with the bomb, which had terrified her.

Meanwhile, things weren't so harmonious on the other side... Mika's bomb crisis was over, but Shinichi Kudo's crisis was far from over!

In the past, I could say that I had to leave due to unforeseen circumstances, but this time...

When Ran was trapped inside, Conan even spoke to her using Shinichi's voice, and Shiraishi also confirmed that Kudo had indeed come.

But when Ran came out, only Conan was outside...

What's the rush, you idiot? At this crucial moment, just a few minutes' difference?
If Shinichi Kudo had really escaped, Ran wouldn't be so angry, since at the time, her and Ayako's idea was to get everyone outside to escape quickly.

But what kind of nonsense is it for you to "have something come up" at this time and "have Conan do it for you"?
Conan watched as Ran angrily made a phone call, and a wave of guilt washed over him. He silenced his phone, hid it behind his back, and didn't dare answer...

Seeing Conan's pleading look, Shiraishi, who had just comforted Ayako, walked over and said, "Ran, don't call Kudo yet... Um, he just went to help the Public Security Bureau defuse other bombs!"

Shiraishi told a huge lie...

After all, if this matter isn't resolved now, Ran might immediately start to suspect Conan's identity.

That "personnel change" was really strange. Xiaolan hasn't realized it yet, and is only angry for now. Once she realizes it, she will definitely start to suspect him!

Although he often teases Conan by threatening to report him to Ran, Shiraishi doesn't actually want Conan's identity to be exposed.

It's not a big deal that his fake boy persona has been discovered, but after all, there's another fake girl in Shiraishi's house who has also shrunk!
"Police? De-bomb defuse? Now..." Xiaolan certainly didn't doubt that Baishi was lying. Not only did she believe him, but she also immediately became anxious.

"Don't worry, the bomb has been successfully defused. Now... well, he's been taken away by the police." Shiraishi made up a story off the top of his head—anyway, Kazami was already gone, and there was no way he could refute him now.

"The police made Shinichi do such a dangerous thing?" Xiaolan immediately questioned.

Of course, she wasn't questioning whether Shiraishi was lying, but rather blaming the police.

“That’s exactly how those people are,” Shiraishi said confidently.

"How could this be..." Xiaolan suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, when that officer with the forked eyebrows left, there did seem to be someone else in the car... Could it be..."

"I can't say more about that, sorry." Shiraishi decisively sold Kazami.

Conan: ...

Conan looked at him helplessly from the side—don't you have a better reason?

However, upon closer examination, the absurdity of this matter is such that ordinary excuses are unlikely to cover it up!
……

After helping Conan deal with Ran, Shiraishi also bid farewell to Ayako. Although Shiraishi wanted to comfort the frightened Ayako that night, he had more important things to do according to his duties.

Although it was already past midnight, the recent bombings in Dongdu had already created a climate of fear. From the ring road to skyscrapers, it felt like there was nothing that couldn't be blown up.

The Metropolitan Police Department also needs to calm the tension among the citizens of Tokyo as soon as possible...

If we're looking for a positive comment on what's happened during this period, the most suitable person is undoubtedly Shiraishi Kuro!
On one hand, the criminal Teiji Moriya was arrested by Shiraishi; on the other hand, many people filmed Shiraishi climbing the building and the footage is going viral online.

Shiraishi also coordinated with the publicity campaign and held a press conference overnight—the organizer of the press conference was actually Minister Odagiri, but everyone was more focused on the Shiraishi haters who were standing by.

On May 4th and 5th, Shiraishi was also very busy.

In addition to press conferences, there were also various offline legal education and lecture activities to divert people's fear of the bombing...

In addition to having a very busy schedule, Shiraishi was also wearing a weighted vest – all day on May 4th!

After all, the trial period for Lv.11 is 24 hours, and Shiraishi certainly can't waste it. He should make the most of this time to let his body get used to the feeling of Lv.11.

Even when he got home, Shiraishi didn't have time to rest...

At this moment, Shiraishi's left hand no longer needed bandages—under the stimulation of Lv.11's body, Shiraishi's "God's Left Hand" had been completely digested and no longer showed any abnormalities.

Of course, at this time, Shiraishi became Ai's best "experimental material"!
The Lv.11 physique itself symbolizes a "supernatural body," and all the samples taken from Shiraishi during this period showed properties that defied biology and even physics.

It's one thing to go against biology—after all, biologists discover amazing biological structures every now and then—but it goes against physics…

Simply put, Ai discovered that Shiraishi's body was now openly and legitimately not conserving energy!
This isn't about which bone is stronger, which muscles are stronger, or which cells have more mitochondria... but rather that Shiraishi's body can release more energy than the theoretical value of a chemical reaction.

Previously, Shiraishi's body had also been "evolving" in this direction, but it wasn't very obvious.

This time, Ai really got to study him thoroughly!
For this reason, Ai has stopped pretending these past two days and has been looking at experimental data and doing scientific analysis at school.

result……

Conan spotted us!

Although Conan doesn't understand such profound things, at least he has common sense about science...

These common-sense observations were enough for him to conclude that Ai Shiraishi's level of ability was beyond the comprehension of a child prodigy.

And Ai...

Because of her "professional ethics," after returning from her lunch break, she discovered that her belongings had been touched. So she gave Conan, who was secretly looking at her, a cold smile... which startled Conan.

"Conan, what's wrong?" Ayumi asked Conan, who seemed preoccupied, as he left school.

"N-nothing. Oh, right... I have some things to do today, so I'll head back first!" Conan glanced at Ai Shiraishi's location and realized she was gone. Worried, he didn't go with the other three children but immediately ran towards his original home.

Conan wants to talk to someone about this...

If there's something wrong with Ai Shiraishi's identity, then... wouldn't Shiraishi also be in question?

He dared not discuss this with anyone else, not even Hattori Heiji!

No one is home at the Kudo residence right now, but there is someone next door, and it's none other than Professor Agasa, whom Shinichi Kudo trusts most. Apart from the time when his unscrupulous parents came back and pretended to be strangers, and Professor Agasa helped fool him, he hasn't lied to him about anything else...

"Professor? Professor Agasa? Are you home?" Conan discovered that Professor Agasa's house, which also served as his research institute, was unlocked, so he simply opened the door and came in.

In a tense moment, Conan's premonition of "something bad" was confirmed. Professor Agasa was now tied up, while Ai Shiraishi, exuding the aura of a "wicked woman from an evil organization," sat cross-legged on the table, pointing a pistol at Professor Agasa...

"You're finally back, Edogawa... no, Shinichi Kudo!" Ai Haibara revealed a wicked, madam-like expression.

Conan's face turned deathly pale...
