Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 56 There are five people, three of whom appear

7 years ago.

Two criminals planted bombs in two apartment buildings in a residential complex.

Their demand to the police was that they be paid 1 billion yen and that they detonate the two bombs immediately if any of the residents in the apartment left.

The two bombs were handled by Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squad of the Mobile Squad of the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Department.

One of the bombs was successfully defused by Jinpei Matsuda in a short time, but the other bomb, which was handled by Kenji Hagiwara, was more troublesome.

The police had no choice but to agree to the demands of the two criminals. After receiving the money, the criminals used the remote control to stop the timer and the residents began to evacuate the apartment.

When Kenji Hagiwara heard the news, he took off his 40-kilogram protective suit and prepared to slowly dismantle the complex bomb.

The whole incident should have ended there, but 30 minutes after the criminal stopped the timer, perhaps because he saw the delayed report on TV, he had some misunderstandings and anxiously called the police to ask why the bomb timer was still moving?

The police thought this was their golden opportunity to apprehend the criminal, so they adopted a delaying tactic and successfully detected him in a telephone booth.

But in his hasty escape, the criminal was accidentally hit and killed by a car while crossing the road.

When the other gangster learned that his accomplice was dead, he started the stopped timer again. Therefore, even if Hagiwara Kenji already knew how to defuse the bomb, it was too late to do anything with only a six-second countdown.

Before his death, Kenji Hagiwara was on the phone with Jinpei Matsuda, and jokingly said, "If I get killed in the explosion, you have to avenge me!"

……

three years ago.

Jinpei Matsuda, who wanted to avenge his friend Kenji Hagiwara, applied for transfer to the special criminal department that deals with bomb criminals many times. However, in order to calm him down, his superiors transferred him to the Investigation Division 1 headed by Inspector Megure.

In just seven days, he gained the recognition of Officer Sato, but unfortunately, on the seventh day, the surviving bomber maniac sent a fax.

The moment he received the fax, Jinpei Matsuda knew where the bomber had installed the bomb.

But the criminal told him on the bomb's display screen that he would only be given the location of the other bomb in the last three seconds.

So, within three seconds before the bomb exploded, Jinpei Matsuda deduced the location of the bomb based on the criminals' hints, edited a message, and sent it to Officer Sato's mobile phone.

The reason why Jinpei Matsuda is said to be Officer Sato's ex-boyfriend is that he not only deduced the location of the bomb within three seconds, but also had time to attach a confession to the message.

……

Time returns to the present.

Toru Amuro thought about the sacrifices of two of his good friends from the police academy, listened to the sirens on the road, leaned against the fence of an overpass, closed his eyes, felt the breeze, and his golden hair swayed with it.

He had just arrived in Mihua City these days, and after handling some of the tasks assigned by the organization, he finally had enough time to deal with the affairs of this blasting maniac.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Listening to the wanton laughter beside his ears, Toru Amuro slowly opened his eyes, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

But he soon restrained himself. After all, he was no longer the dangerous criminal Bourbon, but the warm and kind Toru Amuro.

So he changed his face to a smile, walked up to the man in the beige coat who was laughing on the bridge, and patted him, and asked, "Sir, please pay attention to your words and actions in public." The man who was patted was stunned for a moment, and then shared his joy with Amuro Toru in a meaningful tone.

"I just looked at these stupid policemen running around and thought of something happy."

Hearing this, Amuro Toru, who was originally just preparing to give some advice, suddenly found his smile froze.

"What's the matter that makes you so happy? Can you share it with me?"

"You'll know tomorrow!" The man waved his hand and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at the disappearing Riddler, Toru Amuro's smile slowly faded, his eyes kept looking at his back, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Yuya Kazami, asking him to investigate the man in the beige coat.

Then he took a look at the tall Dongdu Tower not far away, turned around and left without looking back.

……

In Officer Takagi's car.

"Nanbeihu Station?"

"Conan and I have reached similar conclusions. In my opinion, the first bomb should be at Minamibeito Station and on the Touto Chuo Line heading towards Tokyo."

After listening to the location analyzed by Ai, Officer Takagi was stunned. Before he could ask about the specific analysis process, the voice of Officer Sato in the detective badge echoed Ai's words.

"What do you think, Huisuke?" Conan's voice came from the badge.

After hearing Conan's words, Huisuke replied without a second thought, "Of course I support Ai's opinion!", looking at Ai curiously in his arms.

Anyway, there was no one familiar with the bomb in the Toudou Tower, and no one was killed. In Huisuke's opinion, there was no need to worry about it. It would be better to seize the time and spend time with Xiao Ai.

"What do you mean by supporting Huiyuan's opinion? I'm asking what you think about the code!" Conan knew that Huisuke hadn't thought about it seriously, so Conan was a little anxious to get the answer from Huisuke.

Listening to Terusuke's love-brained speech, Conan had no choice but to let Ai persuade Terusuke, so he said: "Haibara, you have to ask Terusuke to be more serious! He is a blasting maniac, and if you don't take it seriously, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Listening to Conan's words, Xiao Ai first looked at the people next to her and found that they were discussing the criminals' secret code fiercely and were not paying attention to the situation here. Then she leaned on Huisuke's shoulder and kissed his forehead, then touched his head and said:
"Okay, the reward has been given to you, tell me what you think!"

Knowing that Ai was embarrassed to get close to him, and therefore acting as a teacher, Huisuke nodded nonchalantly and said:

"According to Conan's 'Law of Death', something he heard before such a major case must have been important information."

"And we were talking about our trip to the East Tower tomorrow this morning, so I have every reason to suspect it was that place."

"Toudou...Iron Tower?" After hearing Terusuke's analysis, Ai looked at the code in her hand again and suddenly found that this place seemed more likely.

"The purpose of the first bomb was probably to lure the police into the trap, so this easily guessable location actually fits the criminal's mentality better."

"You're just like me, Huisuke!"
