Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 120 Good morning, everyone
In terms of theoretical knowledge alone, Tachibana Shizuka is among the best professionals in the explosive ordnance disposal class.

Ogasawara nodded repeatedly after hearing this bombshell analysis.

Sure enough, he was right about the kid. This kid will definitely be in the explosive ordnance disposal class in the future!
After some theoretical knowledge, Ogasawara signaled to Tachibana Shizuka that he could start defusing the bomb.

After finding the appropriate tools from the toolbox, Tachibana Shizuka began to defuse the bomb. His movements were not fast, but slow and determined, step by step, he dealt with the bomb in front of him.

Throughout the whole process, Ogasawara felt only one word: stability.

There was no intention of showing off his skills, and all steps were carried out in the safest way. In the second half of the bomb disposal, Ogasawara really regarded this bomb disposal mission as a teaching ground, starting from this bomb and extending to pass on his experience to Tachibana Shizuka.

One by one, the experts from the explosive ordnance disposal team carefully removed the bombs, while other Metropolitan Police Department police officers continued to search throughout the restaurant for bombs that might have been overlooked.

Finally, at dawn, Ogasawara received a report that the bomb in the entire Water Crystal Restaurant had been dismantled.

Yuya Kazami came into the restaurant and thanked Ogasawara sincerely.

In the corner of the restaurant, Tachibana Seiji had already taken off his heavy protective suit, took the handkerchief from Xiaolan's hand and was wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Shizue, do you want to work in the explosive ordnance disposal team in the future?" Xiaolan was not a dull person. She had seen Ogasawara's performance throughout the night and had some guesses about what Ogasawara was thinking.

"Yes, Senior Ogasawara did want to recruit me and wanted me to join the explosive ordnance disposal team in the future.

And Ogasawara-senpai is also a really good senior."

When Tachibana Shizuka recalled their last conversation, he felt that there were still many good people in this world.

"Just now, Mr. Ogasawara specifically told me to go to a good university and try my best to pass the national civil service exam after graduation.

Even if I can't pass the national civil service exam, I should at least pass the local civil service exam. That would be good for my future."

It was precisely because of these words that Tachibana Shizuka concluded that Ogasawara was a good person.

Tachibana Shizuka already knew a lot about the explosive ordnance disposal team through his recent conversation with Ogasawara.

It’s not really a shortage of people. The treatment of the explosive ordnance disposal team is one of the best in the entire Metropolitan Police Department.

There is certainly no shortage of frontline bomb disposal personnel. What the explosive ordnance disposal team lacks are aces, experts, or talented individuals who can be trained.

There were originally two members of the explosive ordnance disposal team, one was Hagiwara Kenji and the other was Matsuda Jinpei, but they were both killed by the same criminal.

Now Ogasawara has discovered Tachibana Shizuka.

Given the lack of young talent in the explosive ordnance disposal class, most leaders with a slightly evil heart would be eager for Tachibana Shizuka to work there as soon as he graduates from high school.

Do nothing but defuse bombs on the front line.

When high school graduates join the police force, they can only start as the most basic patrol officer. The highest they can achieve in their life is a police lieutenant, which is the same level as Inspector Megure.

Bomb disposal is a dangerous job that I'll probably have to do for most of my life.

By then, the bombs that Tachibana Shizuka risked his life to dismantle will become fuel for his boss's promotion, helping him rise to prominence one after another until his own value is completely squeezed out.
Ogasawara's advice was different; it was a standard technocratic career path. The national and local civil service exams corresponded to the professional and semi-professional groups, and these two backgrounds were necessary for advancement within the police force.

The only difference between the two is the upper limit. After passing the civil service exam and graduating from the police academy, one can "intern" on the front lines for a period of time, whether as a patrol captain or a deputy inspector. Once the time is up, Tachibana Shizuka can be labeled an expert and leave the front lines to take charge of administrative management.

Then, according to the procedures, he was either promoted or took over Ogasawara's position.

Competition among technical bureaucrats, especially in the field of bomb disposal, is obviously much easier than ordinary administrative management, which is the route that Shiratori takes.

Ogasawara really treats Tachibana Shizuka as his own.

"I didn't expect that Ogasawara-senpai is so reliable." Xiaolan unconsciously followed Tachibana Shizuka and changed her words, but she herself seemed not to realize it.

Tachibana Shizuka did realize it, but he didn't remind Xiaolan. Isn't this a good thing?
"Let's go, let's go see Ogasawara-senpai off. I guess we'll be busy until morning."

Tachibana Shizuka and Xiaolan sent Ogasawara to the cable car, and then the two bowed slightly to Ogasawara:
"Well, next time I see you, Ogasawara-senpai."

Ogasawara smiled heartily on the cable car: "See you again sometime, Shizue. Remember what I taught you today.

And the last thing I tell you, take it to heart."

Facing Ogasawara's earnest admonition, Tachibana Shizuka responded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Ogasawara-senpai, I have a very good performance in school and I will continue to maintain it.

Thank you for your advice. "

Seeing that Tachibana Shizuka had taken his words to heart, Ogasawara smiled and waved to the "young couple":

"Okay, go back quickly, it's not like we won't see each other again."

After Tachibana Shizuka and Ran could no longer see the Ogasawara cable car, Ran asked Tachibana Shizuka, "What are we going to do next? Aren't all the bombs defused?"

"Next, we have to wait." Tachibana Shizuka brought Xiaolan back to the restaurant, picked up two cans of coffee and gave one to Xiaolan:

"Although the bomb has been defused, the person who planted it has not been caught yet. Officer Kazami believes that tomorrow... no, today, the criminal who planted the bomb here, attacked Officer Megure, Aunt Eri, Dr. Agasa, and killed Asahi Katsuyoshi will definitely come.

So I'm going to sit back and wait."

"Maybe we can even say hello to Uncle and Conan later. Don't you think it's interesting?"

When Xiaolan thought about how she could only follow Maori Kogoro or search for Conan at the scene when encountering an incident, she immediately agreed with the expressions of these two people.

Jingsi is right, this kind of thing is really interesting to think about!
The waiting time was not long, and soon it was time for "Xu Shengyi" to entertain everyone.

All the guests who received the invitation from "Xu Shengyi" arrived early and met by chance in the parking lot. Just as everyone was about to enter the Water Crystal Restaurant together.

Suddenly, many police officers in uniform appeared around. They surrounded everyone from all directions and controlled them.

Several guests with bad tempers began to shout and curse at the police officers arrogantly.

"Alright, alright, stop yelling." Tachibana Shizuka and Ran followed behind Kazami Yuya and came to the front of the crowd. After seeing the confused Maori Kogoro and Conan, Tachibana Shizuka smiled kindly and politely:

"Good morning, everyone."
