I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 631 Death Countdown and...Surprise

"You all know the rules of the game, right?"

The demolition expert's voice reached the ears of Officer Sato and Officer Takagi inside the Ferris wheel.

He was still observing the Ferris wheel through his binoculars.

He was delighted that Officer Sato appeared inside the Ferris wheel as he had expected.

—Dongchen has connections within the Fourth Investigation Division; those connections were cultivated by the former chairman.

Although the old chairman was kicked out.

However, the bribed officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigative Division were unaware of this, and Hamaka Misao was also being paid in the same way.

They lacked even the will to conduct an investigation.

As long as you get paid, it doesn't matter who you work for; that's called professional ethics.

Therefore, the blasting experts obtained a document from Hamakasa.

Those are files related to the two bombings that it carried out three and seven years ago, and they are written very clearly on them.

The police officer who was killed three years ago was a close friend of the officer who died seven years ago.

The police officer who died three years ago had a partner who is still working in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

He thought, since the police officer from three years ago was still personally taking action with the idea of ​​avenging the police officer from seven years ago.

So, it's not impossible that Miwako Sato now would personally take action for the police officer who died three years ago.

Isn't that interesting?

One generation after another died. It was a pity that Sato Miwako's partner went on the Ferris wheel with her, otherwise they could have gone on a few more rounds.

"That's what the demolition expert said."

"Next, the final minute countdown to the bomb's detonation will begin."

"In the last three seconds before the bomb explodes, the display screen above the bomb will gradually show the name of the next explosion location."

His voice carried a hint of ease.

"Let's see what you choose?"

"To die like that guy named Matsuda Jinpei, or to defuse the bomb and live a wretched life?"

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department wiretapped the phone conversation.

However, that's all there was to it, because the phone call actually changed hands once, with someone using the phone to connect with the demolition expert.

Then they connected the call to a public phone booth on the roadside, making it impossible to trace the current location of the demolition expert; they could only find the public phone booth.

The demolition expert's men would change the public phone booth each time, and each time it was a different person.

Even if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department tried to locate the bomb disposal expert by contacting his subordinates at a public phone booth, it would be to no avail.

Because they don't know either.

"Damn guy..."

Officer Shiratori frowned.

He couldn't help but look at his watch, staring at the ticking of the second hand.

Although this makes no sense.

But the thought that his colleagues were just like him, waiting for their lives to end, still made him do something meaningless.

It was as if this could stop time for a few seconds, giving Takagi and Sato a chance to escape.

------

"The call has ended."

"This call lasted only a dozen seconds, just like before, so we can't pinpoint the guy's location through that."

Sato Miwako analyzed calmly.

As the bomb's countdown entered its final minute, she had already put all other thoughts out of her mind.

The key now lies in the next location of the explosion.

She absolutely had to pinpoint the location of the next explosion and get the message out.

Death has already been demonstrated by others.

If Matsuda-senpai can do it, then she can too.

Below the Ferris wheel.

The air cushions used for cushioning have been fully deployed. If Sato and Takagi were to jump from the Ferris wheel cabin at the last moment, they would still have a chance to survive thanks to the air cushions.

Takagi Wataru's gaze fell on the bomb's display screen, as a newcomer whose time with the company was far less than that of Shiratori Ninzaburo and Sato Miwako.

He has faced life-threatening crises many times.

However, this was the only time he had faced a life-threatening crisis with Miwako Sato, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He had a crowbar hidden inside his clothes.

He had already figured out how to handle the bomb... It takes a bit of courage.

However, from the day he graduated from police academy and joined the Criminal Investigation Department, he was no longer lacking in courage. "Ten seconds left, countdown."

Miwako Sato calmly counted the seconds.

Behind Miwako Sato, Wataru Takagi had already placed a crowbar on the door of the Ferris wheel cabin and slowly pried open a gap.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

------

"Seven, six, five..."

The demolition expert silently recited the instructions.

He has already sent out the second fax. Once the bomb on the Ferris wheel explodes, he will leave and head to the next observation point to continue waiting for the revenge drama to unfold.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department cracked the code very quickly.

But no matter how fast they are, they can't possibly be faster than him, the one who planted the bombs.

"It's about to end."

"Sato Miwako, from today onwards, say goodbye to this world."

The demolition expert murmured.

------

"Four, three, two..."

Near the Ferris wheel.

The officers of the First Investigation Division were anxiously awaiting the final results. Inspector Megure was sweating profusely, his mind conflicted.

He certainly hoped that Takagi and Sato could obtain information on the location of the next explosion.

However, it is also hoped that the two colleagues can escape before the bomb explodes and ensure their own safety.

"It's about to end."

Shiratori Ninzaburo said.

------

"The last three seconds."

Sato Miwako said in her heart.

She had already taken out her phone, her eyes fixed on the screen, where letters were slowly appearing.

[Rewot……]

The following letters are displayed very slowly.

The letters finally started appearing at the very last second.

Takagi Wataru's forehead was covered in sweat.

Starting from the last second, the decimal point flashes by, decreasing rapidly, while the content above also keeps appearing.

【ABI……】

They didn't wait until the last second was over.

Taking advantage of Sato Miwako's inattention, Takagi Wataru grabbed her and pushed her towards the air cushion below.

He glanced behind him and shouted.

"HS...the last letter is HS!"

As she plummeted downwards, Sato Miwako heard it all clearly, and two seemingly unrelated words slowly came together in her mind.

She memorized the two words.

next moment.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the interior of the Ferris wheel cabin, light burst forth from inside.

The demolition expert's eyes lit up.

He knew he might be able to play another explosion game with Miwako Sato, but he immediately realized something was wrong.

As a demolition expert.

He certainly knew under what circumstances and in what way a bomb would explode, but why did this bomb have a light effect and an explosion sound, but not explode?
Takagi Wataru stared in shock at the bomb in front of him.

Just a piece of paper popped out.

The speed is too slow.

The signature consists of only one noun.

Batman.

Wataru Takagi: ?

Oh, this bomb won't explode?
When Takagi Wataru realized this, it felt like the sky had fallen; he was doomed...

Officer Sato is going to beat him into hero fragments in a minute...!
