Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 46 Edogawa Conan, still reasoning!

"I" was just about to say something polite when I heard a shrill scream coming from the coffee shop bathroom.

"what--"

The scream from the grown man startled Tachibana Seiji, and he subconsciously looked towards the bathroom.

As a result, Conan's actions were faster than his brain. When Tachibana Shizuka shifted his gaze to the bathroom door, he just saw Conan kick his calf and open the bathroom door.

A young man was slumped at the bathroom door, unable to utter a word and just pointing tremblingly ahead.

Conan looked closely and found a large pool of blood under the partition inside the bathroom.

There is an event!
As if sensing the atmosphere of the incident, Conan no longer cared about Tachibana Shizuka, Mouri Ran, and Kisaki Eri, let alone being jealous.

There is only one thing on his mind at this moment - jealousy (crossed out), that's the truth!
Fighting for the rights of the living and speaking for the dead, although Conan is not a forensic doctor, he has become the embodiment of truth!
He adjusted the switch of the foot strength training machine, and with a little effort he jumped to the top of the toilet cubicle. From his high vantage point he could see the body blocking the toilet partition!
"Call the police and ambulance quickly, someone was stabbed in the toilet!" Conan shouted loudly to the onlookers who rushed into the bathroom door.

Seeing the blood on the ground, the coffee shop manager realized that what the child said might be true, and immediately turned around and went out to call the police.

Faced with this "accident" that happened at the right time, Tachibana Seiji showed a subtle expression.

"It seems like something happened? Hasn't Shizue encountered this before?" Kisaki Eri had been paying attention to Shizue Tachibana, and she was a little surprised by Shizue Tachibana's subtle expression.

The words that Kisaki Eri blurted out almost made Tachibana Shizuka almost lose his temper. These are the people of Beika Town. Look at the concerns that were blurted out, all of them were like "Haven't you encountered any incidents before?"

How outrageous, my family.
But that's also why Tachibana Shizuka had such a subtle expression - many things are like this, you know they are magical, but after experiencing them yourself you will find that they are so magical.

The same is true of the events that happened to Conan.

But Tachibana Shizuka couldn't say that the plague god adopted by your Mori family was too awesome, so he could only say in a tactful way:

"Auntie Fueiri, it's not that I haven't encountered this before, it's just that I've encountered too many strange incidents like this recently."

Tachibana Shizuka's words successfully aroused the curiosity of his mother-in-law, oh no, Aunt Eri, and she immediately started asking questions about this topic.

Tachibana Seiji did not hesitate. He tidied up his desk a little and invited Xiaolan and her daughter to sit down.

Since Operation Overheard can't go on any further, wouldn't it be nice to connect with my mother-in-law?

Tachibana Shizuka briefly told Kisaki Eri about how he and Xiaolan met, and then talked about the recent incident in which a corpse appeared.

The time bomb in the cinema, the body in the library elevator, the shooting scene at Kogoro's class reunion
This series of experiences left Kisaki Eri stunned, but no matter what, based on what Tachibana Shizuka did in the cinema, his favorability in Kisaki Eri's heart was rising rapidly.

Of course, Tachibana Shizuka did not forget to include some personal thoughts while chatting.

Low-end smuggling is usually just fabricating facts, which can be easily exposed. But high-end smuggling is all about the truth.

For example, right now, Kisaki Eri is looking sternly at Tachibana Shizuka and asking, "Shizuka, are you saying that the bomb attack you and Ran encountered at the cinema was actually carried out by the perpetrator in revenge for Kudo Shinichi?"

"Uh, I..." Tachibana Shizuka looked at Xiaolan subconsciously with a gaffe expression. Xiaolan obviously didn't expect that Hibiki Eiri would be so perceptive, but then again, how could a lawyer who has maintained a winning streak in court that has not been broken so far not be perceptive?

Noticing Tachibana Shizuka's gaze, Kisaki Eri knocked on the table and said to Tachibana Shizuka in an unquestionable tone:

"Jingsi, you might know something about my family. Auntie doesn't pay enough attention to Lan because of work, and this is Auntie's dereliction of duty.

But neither Ran nor Kogoro ever discussed this matter with me in detail, and I only just learned about Ran's injury."

"Regardless of whether there's a hidden story behind this, Shizue, could you please grant this incompetent mother's request to understand the story behind her daughter's injury?"

Now that things have come to this, what else can Tachibana Shizuka say? But what he wants is for Kisaki Eri to say this.

After hearing Kiyori's request, Tachibana Shizuka could only give Xiaolan an apologetic look, and then said to Kiyori sternly:

"Auntie Eri, I don't really know the details. I only got some information from a detective I know afterward.
The murderer of the cinema bombing seems to be the designer of the Beika Municipal Building. He seemed to have done this because Kudo had solved a case in Nishitama City that ruined his new town plan.

As for me, I was just unlucky that day, and as for Ran, it was probably because Kudo was being taken out on her."

"I heard that the reason that guy set his sights on Ran was because he couldn't find Kudo."

Tachibana Shizuka said this and "comforted" Kisaki Eri: "But it seems that Kudo was also at the scene when the Beika Municipal Building was attacked by the bomb.

Because the cinema was attacked and the entrances and exits were blocked, he couldn't enter the scene, and initially he wanted to guide us in bomb disposal remotely, didn't he? "

Tachibana Shizuka's grasp of the timing and scale is just right. He not only shows his relief, but also shows that he stands up for Xiaolan, and even subtly points out the connection between Kudo Shinichi and the incident.

At the beginning, Tachibana Seiji said that he did not have a deep understanding of the incident, and also pointed out his source of information.

Shizuka Tachibana has a good relationship with the detectives of the First Investigation Division, and Eri Kisaki's relationship with them will only be better.

These seemingly plausible news and intelligence from Tachibana Shizuka were all confirmed after Kisaki Eri inquired about them.

Even more than that.

The explosion at the Beika Municipal Building was only the final stage of a serial crime plan. However, Moriya Teiji had been looking for Kudo Shinichi for a long time.

Even on the day of the explosion, Moritani Teiji used a series of explosions to lure Kudo Shinichi out.

But the result?

The "innocent" elementary school student Conan Edogawa was injured and hospitalized, and all the passengers on the loop line were taken hostage.

In the end, Xiaolan was treated as a substitute for Kudo Shinichi and was trapped in a movie theater by the murderer.

Kissing Eri didn't dare to imagine how helpless Xiaolan must have felt at that desperate moment, facing the bomb that could explode at any time.

"Ran" Hibari Eri put her arm around Ran's shoulders guiltily. As a mother, she was the only one who knew about these things!
