“He’s safe.” Jia Chen’s eyes regained their calm. “Don’t worry.”
"Really?" Ran Mouri looked grateful. "Then I'm relieved."
Ran Mouri sized up the man in black in front of her... It seemed that Conan had chased after him after he passed by, perhaps... the man's pale red eyes reminded Conan of a vampire?
"You're Kogoro Mouri's daughter, right?" Jia Chen asked.
"Hey, how did you know?" Ran Mouri asked, puzzled.
“I have something important to discuss, please follow me.” After saying this, Jia Chen walked forward. “I can’t find Mr. Mori, so I’m asking for your help.”
The truth is... he doesn't want to move.
"Ah... okay." Ran Mouri nodded and followed, thinking that there were some cases that needed to be resolved by her father.
Just then, Conan's voice came from behind, "Ran, you can't go over there!"
He stared warily at Jia Chen.
Could it be that this man in black has noticed something amiss, or is gathering intelligence?
But no matter what, he couldn't let the other person take Ran to any place, even if it was on the Shinkansen!
"Conan, be good...go go play with Ayumi and the others first." Ran Mouri thought Conan was being affectionate, so she reached out and patted his head. "Also! Don't run around. I'll be back soon."
Conan stared helplessly and terrified at the two figures as they walked away.
He touched his watch, which contained a tranquilizer dart, and quickly followed.
At this moment, Jia Chen led Ran Mouri to the storage room in the carriage and went inside.
Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow them in... Since it was a case, she certainly didn't want others to know or cause panic.
Conan, who was outside, also tried to squeeze in, but was stopped by Ran Mouri.
"Conan, be good and wait outside for a bit. We have something very important to do. We'll be right out." Ran Mouri rubbed Conan's head with a hint of exasperation.
Conan is a good kid in every way, except he likes to wander around crime scenes and inquire about cases.
But Ran Mouri believes that it's not appropriate for young children to listen to too much of this.
After introducing themselves to each other.
Ran Mouri: "Mr. Gachin, what is your request?"
“According to my investigation, the heiress of a certain group had a deal with criminals. The deal is now complete, and she has a bomb.” Jia Chen said calmly.
"Explode..." Ran Mouri's pupils contracted, she swallowed, realizing something, and tried to calm herself down. "Then..."
“There’s not enough time.” Jia Chen took out some cash and handed it to Ran Mouri. “You need to use your father’s name to tell the flight attendants about the bomb, then get the black box and throw it out.”
“Okay.” Ran Mouri nodded firmly, refusing the cash…
“But I have some doubts,” Ran Mouri asked, puzzled. “You’ve already found all these clues, so why did you still need to entrust this to my father? And why do you need my help… In your condition, throwing a bomb wouldn’t be a problem for you.”
面前的男人看起来高大强壮... 5.9}9:3:7&0)3@2$4:沼树峮. 而且还隐隐约约的给自己一些危险的感觉,从这儿她可以判断出,对方绝对不弱,甚至更强。
“For certain reasons, I don’t really like being famous.” Jia Chen looked at Ran Mouri with her pale red eyes. “Besides, I’ve heard that Kogoro Mouri’s daughter is very strong.”
Ran Mouri's face immediately turned red upon hearing this.
Jia Chen opened the door and went out...
"Big brother, what did you talk about with Ran-neechan inside?" Conan asked cutely, who was lying by the door.
Jia Chen glanced down at Conan, ignored him, and quickly left.
"Damn it!!!" Conan clenched his fists, his black-rimmed glasses gleaming with a light that was hard to look at directly. But when he saw Ran Mouri come out, he reverted to his childlike self. "Ran-neechan, what did that big brother talk to you about inside?"
"These are things children shouldn't know," Ran Mouri said, ruffling Conan's hair.
How can we tell a child about bombs? Besides, Conan likes to play detective games, and it would be bad if it caused panic.
Upon hearing Ran's words, Conan froze on the spot, then looked up at his little Ran and noticed that the blush on her face hadn't faded yet.
Conan's lips curled down in a distinct downward arc as he pondered the very thing he least wanted to think about...
"Alright, I have something very important to do. Wait for me here for a bit." Ran Mouri smiled and then walked towards the flight attendant workshop.
Conan was left standing there, his eyes lifeless.
......
On the other side, Jia Chen had already reached carriage number 7, where Ran Mouri and the train attendant had already begun negotiating with the woman.
"You have no right to look through my bag!" the woman said, holding the bag in one hand and the phone in the other. "These are confidential company documents!"
She turned on her phone, pressed the dial button, and wanted to ask the two men in black what was going on.
Jia Chen did remember that if he made the call, the bomb would explode within ten seconds.
He stepped forward, snatched the woman's bag, and said to Ran Mouri, "Kick open the window."
"This is against the rules, sir." The flight attendants still didn't believe there was really a bomb. They thought it would be better to check, after all, the woman seemed to be someone important.
Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment... but thinking of the time that Jia Chen mentioned, she stopped hesitating, slightly bent her right leg, used her left foot as the axis, suddenly pulled her waist, and kicked directly at the window with a back kick.
Bang! ! !
The glass was suddenly kicked away.
At the same time, a strong wind howled in, making the passengers' hair and clothes flutter loudly.
Jia Chen slightly bent his hand holding the box, then threw it towards the door; the box shot out in an almost straight line...
The people on the bus stared blankly at the scene.
Boom! ! !
Large bursts of fire erupted outside...
Chapter Ten: The Witch's Shackles
As the explosion rang out, passengers began to riot.
"Phew..." Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, her anxiety disappearing. "Thank you... Mr. Jia Chen, you saved everyone on the bus... Wait, where are they?"
She looked back and found that Jia Chen had disappeared into the crowd, leaving only the distraught passengers and Conan who suddenly realized what had happened.
"Ran-neechan, was that man in black asking you to deal with the bomb?" Conan felt a sense of relief.
The speculation about Jia Chen's identity resurfaced. If that person really was from that organization, wouldn't it have been better for him to get off the bus and escape? Why risk having his identity exposed to save everyone on the bus?
“Yes.” Ran Mouri nodded, recalling, “He saved everyone on the train, but didn’t care about his reputation. He was such a kind and gentle person…”
"Then, Sister Ran, do you know who he is?" Conan quickly asked.
“I’m not quite sure…” Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, “His name is Gachen, he should be a… detective.”
After that, the Shinkansen stopped at the next station, Ekoda, due to the explosion, and the woman who had been traded was arrested by the local police.
......
Jia Chen walked down the streets of Jiang Gutian, then opened his phone, looked at the time on the screen... and fell silent.
Why is today Saturday?!
Yesterday was Tuesday, and today is Saturday. School is closed.
No wonder I ran into Conan on the Shinkansen...
As Jia Chen walked, recalling the address of the Phantom Thief Kid, a black luxury car stopped in front of him.
Jia Chen stopped and looked into the car. His Observation Haki allowed him to clearly sense that a non-human being was sitting inside.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing an elderly man with sharp ears sitting inside.
"Lord Jia Chen, is it?" The old man's sharp ears twitched, and he smiled, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, looking just like a demon.
Jia Chen nodded and then asked, "Who are you?"
"Hehehe." The old man covered his mouth and laughed...
Hearing the strange laughter, Jia Chen sized up the old man...
Could this guy be Koizumi Akako's butler?
"Let me introduce myself. I am Lord Hongzi's servant." The old man's smile faded. "Lord Hongzi specifically instructed me to come and fetch you."
Jia Chen frowned slightly... then nodded, opened the door, got in the car, and closed the door.
Although Koizumi Akako had a crystal ball that could predict the future.
But I never expected to be able to foresee myself...
"So, she already knows my identity?" Jia Chen looked calmly at the old man.
An image of a woman with crimson hair and red eyes flashed into my mind.
Feeling Jia Chen's gaze, the old man broke out in a cold sweat. "Yes, Lord Jia Chen, to put it simply, you and Lord Hongzi are the same kind of people."
"Is she also from outer space?" Jia Chen asked.
“No, you all possess the ability to overturn the world,” the old man said cautiously.
Jia Chen didn't speak, sitting quietly in the back seat.
Ten minutes later...
