I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 464 Trouble is brewing (2 updates)
When Shuichi Akai rushed into the restroom corridor, he saw Yusaku Kudo standing in front of the sink, his fingers already on the clasp of his briefcase.

"Don't open it!" Akai Hideaki shouted, rushing forward and pressing the briefcase down at the last second.

Yusaku Kudo turned around in surprise: "Mr. Akai? This is..."

“There might be a bomb in here,” Akai explained briefly, glancing around before quickly making a judgment: “Mr. Yusaku, please go to the door… I’ll handle this.”

Yusaku Kudo looked serious, but he quickly calmed down, nodded, and ran outside.

Shuichi Akai carefully placed his briefcase at the back, then stepped back to the doorway and picked up the mop from the corner.

Just then, Shiraishi E's voice came from behind: "Too close, move further away."

Shuichi Akai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe the other party.

Besides... it's safer to be further away; my life is more important.

So he abandoned the mop, took out his pistol and the bottled water he had put in his pocket, and walked to the bathroom door.

He shoved the gun into the bottle opening, aimed at the briefcase, and pulled the trigger.

puff!
The sound of gunfire was significantly reduced due to the presence of bottled water.

But the bullet's power was not diminished much, and it hit the suitcase's clasp directly.

Shuichi Akai then fired several shots, using the impact of the bullets to open the box.

The box was opened.

boom! ! !
A deafening explosion, accompanied by blinding flashes of light, erupted from the bathroom.

The powerful shockwave knocked Shuichi Akai to the ground, and the entire bathroom was instantly blown to pieces, with tile fragments and metal parts flying everywhere!

Shuichi Akai shook his head and got up from the ground, the buzzing sound still echoing in his ears.

He suppressed the discomfort, put away the pistol, and quickly left the restroom.

Looking at Shiraishi E and Kudo Yusaku in the distance, he walked up to them, dusted himself off, and said, "It seems you were telling the truth."

"Thank you so much this time, Shiraishi-kun," Yusaku said, still feeling a bit shaken.

Wasn't it said that the box contained the contact information of world-famous designers?

How could it be a bomb?

Is someone trying to harm me?
I haven't done anything since I joined the organization, have I?

How did we get targeted?
This gave Yusaku a real headache, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked instead, "Shiraishi-kun, how did you know there was a bomb planted in here?"

"I saw it when I went to the restroom just now." Shiraishi E made up an excuse for the other person on the spot, saying, "I wanted to see who the unlucky one would be... but I didn't expect it to be you."

"Oh, I see. Luckily you saw it... otherwise I would have been finished." Yusaku gave a wry smile, feeling that his luck was really bad.

Shuichi Akai, who was standing nearby, said, "Do you remember that person?"

“I remember, Takeshita Hironobu, an employee of Manten, his original target was Nakajima Hideaki.” Shiraishi E didn’t mince words and directly stated this information.

He wanted these troublemakers to get their hands on the items quickly and leave so as not to disturb his date with Xiaolan.

Hideaki Akai nodded to indicate that he understood, and then turned and left.

He pressed the earpiece and said as he left, "Judy, Carmel, go back to the exchange location and find Takeshita Hironobu, the staff member of Full Heaven. Repeat, target Takeshita Hironobu! His work bag contains what we need!"

Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope it was just an accident..."

He paused, then said somewhat apologetically to Shiraishi E, "Shiraishi-kun, could you please keep this a secret from Conan for me?" "Don't worry, I won't tell him," Shiraishi E replied confidently.

Yusaku smiled with relief and then said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying this, he bowed again at a 90-degree angle to express his gratitude, and then turned and left.

At this moment, Xiaolanzi had already come over after hearing the news.

"What happened?" Xiaolan asked worriedly, "We heard an explosion!"

"Let's leave here first, otherwise we'll miss our dinner if we're locked down," said Shiraishi E, pulling the two of them by the hand and walking towards the press conference entrance.

However, when he reached the door, he found it was locked and no one was allowed to leave.

But the people who cordoned off the scene were not police officers, but men dressed in black suits with serious expressions.

"Why are these bodyguards sealing off the scene?" Sonoko asked in surprise. Just as she was about to go forward to ask, Shiraishi E pulled her back and said, "They're not bodyguards... they're public security police."

He saw Kazami Yuya, so he was certain of the identities of these men in suits.

"Public security police?" Xiaolan Yuanzi was somewhat surprised.

They knew more or less about public security police, which were roughly similar to the FBI in other countries.

"So, the bomb just now..." Xiaolan realized.

"Hmm... let's find a place to sit down." Seeing that she couldn't leave anytime soon, Shiraishi Ei pulled the two of them to sit down in a corner and then told them what had just happened.

He had just promised Yusaku Kudo that he wouldn't tell Conan about this, but he didn't say he couldn't tell Ran or Sonoko.

"Huh?! There's such a thing?" Ran was quite surprised, not expecting that the FBI and Yusaku Kudo were involved!
"So... Uncle Yusaku is working for the FBI now?" Sonoko couldn't help but guess that way.

"I guess so," Shiraishi E gave an ambiguous answer.

Say what needs to be said, and don't say what shouldn't be said.

Just let Xiaolan and Yuanzi understand the whole story and know what they are doing; there's no need to tell them every little detail.

"Those police officers were also lying in ambush here beforehand!" Xiaolan started to use her imagination, saying, "Is their target the FBI? Or the criminals who planted the bomb?"

Sonoko chimed in, "Maybe both are possible!!"

The two girls started talking excitedly.

Emi Shiraishi wasn't interested in this; after all, the Public Security Bureau and the FBI had been at odds for a long time.

They dare not act recklessly in public, but they run wild in private.

He looked around the scene and quickly found Shuichi Akai and his two companions.

After receiving the work bag, the three handed it to Yusaku Kudo and then went their separate ways.

Shiraishi guessed that they would most likely deliberately create chaos to attract attention so that Kudo Yusaku could escape.

Then, he saw Kudo Yusaku look around with his work bag, finally fixing his gaze on him before walking over.

"Trouble is brewing." Shiraishi E reminded Ran and Sonoko, "You two should pretend you don't know anything from now on, understand?"

"Yes, yes, we know." Xiaolan Yuanzi nodded repeatedly, both excited and nervous as she entered acting mode.
