Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 334 Crisis Comes from the Roller Coaster!

half an hour.

The roller coaster is about to start.

There are eight seats in total. Koizumi Akako and Nakamori Aoko sit in the first two seats, while Kaito and Ran sit in the second row.

Natsukawa and Yoru followed closely behind, while Kogoro Mori sat alone in the fourth row, shivering.

"Uncle Mori, if all else fails, you can wait for us down here. With us here, Ran will be fine, so don't worry about us."

Everyone knows that Kogoro Mouri is afraid of heights, and Natsukawa is genuinely worried that he might have a heart attack while sitting there. Even if he doesn't die, it would be a waste of time, and it might even give Kyosuke Kazato an opportunity.

"No, I am that child's father. I promised to protect her, and I will definitely stay by her side every step of the way."

Kogoro Mouri looked determined, but his butt kept shifting from side to side.

Kaito Kuroba also has the same symptoms as him.

Kaito's situation aroused Nakamori Aoko's curiosity.

Nakamori Aoko: "Um, Kudo-kun, do you have hemorrhoids?"

Nakamori Aoko was deeply curious about this man who looked exactly like her childhood friend, especially his expression, which gave her the feeling that Kaito was right behind her.

If she hadn't watched the live interview of High School Detective with Kaito, she would have suspected that they were actually the same person.

After all, they look so alike, almost like twins. Apart from the slightly different hairstyles, they are practically identical.

Thinking of this, Nakamori Aoko's face suddenly stiffened.

That said, I look a lot like Ran Mouri. How is that possible?

Some time ago, she asked her father if she had a twin sister, and received a completely negative answer.

"Um, Nakamori Aoko, could you turn your head away? The roller coaster has already started."

Kaito didn't want to see his childhood friend's face; he was afraid it would break the immersion in the story. He felt a little flustered and a little excited about being ambiguous with Ran in front of her.
As Nakamori Aoko turned to look ahead, the roller coaster creaked and groaned as it gradually accelerated.

next moment.

The roller coaster creaked and groaned as it sped out of the starting cave.

The light instantly makes the scene clear. The roller coaster passes through eight steep artificial mountains and a huge lake, taking about four minutes in total.

Before it even started, Kogoro Mouri had already closed his eyes.

"Wuhu——"

Aoko Nakamori and Ran Mouri quickly got into character and became completely absorbed in the performance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Koizumi Akako turned her head and gave Kaito a mysterious look, then suddenly smiled and said something silently.

"What?" Kaito frowned, and judging from his lip movements, it seemed he was being called a womanizer.

The roaring roller coaster, like a dragon emerging from the sea, tumbles across the sky and traverses artificial mountains and lakes.

"Rumble--"

A tremendous roar resounded, and waves of air surged forth, causing the lake water to ripple and sway, creating waves even without wind.

Thick black smoke rose from the artificial hill not far ahead, mixed with flames, and the track suddenly trembled, affecting the roller coaster as well.

The tourists below, seeing this scene, thought it was a new attraction on the roller coaster and looked on with anticipation.

However, the shockwave from the explosion was undeniable. Only the seven people on the roller coaster noticed the problem; the heat from the shockwave and the vibration in their eardrums were enough to prove that this was not an entertainment attraction.

"Oh no! That artificial hill is part of the roller coaster route. We'll run into it after just one more hill!"

Xia Chuan's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Kazato Kyosuke to go this far!

When he arrived, he didn't notice that the other party was carrying explosives or anything like that. Now that he thinks about it, they probably made preparations in advance!
The staff on the roller coaster below noticed the situation immediately and tried to brake suddenly, only to discover that the brake control lever had malfunctioned at some point.

There were no problems before.

Fortunately, the roller coaster can be forcibly shut down remotely by cutting off power, causing it to lose power and slow down naturally.
However, considering inertia and acceleration, at this distance, it's not certain that the artificial hill could stop before it explodes.

Realizing the roller coaster wasn't braking, Xia Chuan had given up all hope. Although the speed was decreasing, this reduction would be woefully inadequate for the upcoming downhill section.

"Ahhh! Help me, help me! Xia Chuan, Xia Chuan!"

To make matters worse, Kogoro Mouri behind Natsukawa had already lost his temper and stretched out his hand to shake Natsukawa's shoulder vigorously.

The scene was too terrifying. It was too late for Kogoro Mouri to regret it. He wished he could jump out of the car, but falling from that height would undoubtedly turn him into a pile of unrecognizable minced meat.

"Sorry!"

Knowing that now was not the time to appease him, Xia Chuan kicked the safety bar in front of him, breaking it in two, and then turned around and delivered a chop to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened, then his head lolled to the side and he fell into a coma.

"It's finally quiet."

Seeing Xia Chuan break free of the safety bar, Joel was not to be outdone. Like a female Hulk, she removed the safety bar with one hand.

That wasn't the end of it. With half his body detached from the roller coaster, Joel swung the safety bar in mid-air and aimed it at the point where the wheels of the roller coaster made contact with the track below.

Sparks flew, and the car's speed decreased slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Chuan followed suit.

A few seconds later.
"Yol, um, my hand slipped, can you help me?" Yol smiled without saying a word and casually pulled it out.

Xia Chuan took the fresh, hot safety bar and, mimicking the action, inserted it into the gap between the track and the wheel.

It has a deceleration effect, but it's not very noticeable.

There's a downhill slope ahead, and if we can't come up with a suitable solution, the huge acceleration could cause the safety bar to overheat and melt.

"It's time for me to make my move!"

Kaito glanced at Ran, whose hand had already dented the safety bar, and felt increasingly uneasy.

This guy can't do it!
The murderer hasn't even been seen yet, and he's about to be exposed and lose his life.

Kaito's childhood friend is sitting in the front row, and he's burning with anxiety!
Kaito clenched his fist, and a smoke bomb instantly appeared in his hand. He threw it forward, and the magnetic smoke bomb adhered firmly to the metal sheet at the front of the roller coaster.

next moment.

呲呲呲——

From a distance, the rear of the rapidly sliding roller coaster was splattering with sparks, while the front of the car suddenly emitted white smoke, as if it were on fire.

The surrounding tourists began to panic. The explosion of the artificial mountain might have been part of the performance, but now the roller coaster was even smoking, and the overhead loudspeakers were constantly issuing warnings.

For a while.

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts, leaving a large, deserted area in the roller coaster zone.

"It looks like Father and Aunt Joel are having a lot of fun!"

Anya, slurping up ice cream in one hand and holding a StellaLou balloon in the other, nodded approvingly and walked toward the Joker to continue her "investigation."

The roller coaster burst into white smoke in the blink of an eye, but Ran didn't notice that Shinichi Kudo was missing.

A white-gloved hand emerged from the white mist and gripped the seat tightly.

Xiao Lan turned her head to look.

A white tuxedo, a monocle, that carefree and unrestrained smile, and the tall hat that didn't blow away in this situation—it was none other than Phantom Thief Kid.

"Kaitou Kidd!"

The sudden change caused Xiaolan's temples to throb, and fragmented memories resurfaced, slowly beginning to piece together.

Kaito smiled slightly, not forgetting his gentlemanly manners even at this moment, and kissed Ran's hand.

Natsukawa almost kicked Kaito off the car. What time is it? Why are you just standing there instead of helping?

Didn't they realize that Joel's gaze had already begun to turn hostile?
Sensing the predatory gaze behind him, Kaito's pores contracted and his hair stood on end. Seizing the last bit of time, he lightly tapped his shoulder with his finger, and the rustling cloak immediately slipped off his shoulder.

Behind them, Xia Chuan was already prepared, catching one end of the cape and quickly tying it to the iron frame extending from the roller coaster.

Without suspicion, Joel followed suit and quickly secured both ends of the cloak.

sough--

The cape was stretched so much that it bulged out, instantly forming a deceleration parachute!

The roller coaster's speed dropped rapidly, but due to the deceleration parachute, the car body tended to derail. The inverted U-shaped buckles hidden under the roller coaster were rubbing together and generating heat, filling the air with a pungent metallic smell.

There is a possibility of it going off track at any time.

"Aoko, hold on tight to me!" Koizumi Akako said solemnly.

Damn it! What terrible luck, this scene wasn't in her divination.

She came here hoping to see a joke, but ended up becoming part of the joke herself. If she had known, she should have walked further away when she saw Xia Chuan and the others.

Koizumi Akako tried hard to circulate her magic, but the presence of so many Detective Conan molecules severely suppressed it. In addition, the current situation was too dangerous, so she couldn't fully concentrate on mobilizing her magic.

"Hongzi, where did you get the broom?"

Aoko turned her head and found that Koizumi Akako had opened the safety bar at some point. She was holding a strange broom in her hand and looking down at the roller coaster with a thoughtful expression.

"What are you going to do?" Aoko had a bad feeling.

The next moment, her wrist was grabbed by the other person.

Aoko looked puzzled. It was one thing for Kaito Kid to appear out of nowhere, but what was with Koizumi Akako suddenly pulling out a broom and acting as if she was about to jump off a car?

"Although we can't ride flying brooms, the good thing is that there's a lake right below this area, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Not only Koizumi Akako, but also Natsukawa and the other two made the same judgment.

"Get ready to jump!" Xia Chuan shouted, his eyes fixed on the artificial lake less than a hundred meters ahead. Considering the height and distance, and the acceleration of the roller coaster, it was about time to jump!

Xia Chuan picked up Kogoro Mouri with one hand, nodded to Yoel, and plunged down.

From a distance, you can see small black dots suddenly leaping down as the roller coaster reaches the highest point of the track, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

When everyone jumped off the roller coaster, its weight decreased by nearly a ton at once, making it unable to maintain stability, and the wheels and tracks separated with a ripping sound.

The flying car turned into a real roller coaster, derailed and soared diagonally upwards for a distance before being pulled back by a makeshift deceleration parachute.

It somersaulted more than a dozen times in the air before crashing into one of the artificial mountains, severing the track and causing a second explosion.
