Xiaolan sat stiffly at the desk in the conference room of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, her palms full of sticky sweat.

Perhaps because the Metropolitan Police Department is full of passionate police officers, the air conditioning temperature in the office was set a little low, making her feel a little cold on her back.

Inspector Megure placed two printed codes in front of Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan, "This is the code. Do you have any clues?"

Maori Kogoro took the code and began to reason confidently, "Tomorrow between noon and 3 pm, this criminal will launch a terrorist attack!"

Inspector Megure was speechless. "Anyone can see that. I'm asking if you can deduce the location from it!"

"Location... location..."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head and said, "Uh...it must be in some baseball field!"

Inspector Megure was completely disappointed with him. He decisively left behind the Maori brother he once loved and looked at Xiaolan with hope, "Xiaolan, you

Any speculation?"

"This, this..."

Xiaolan put her hand in her pocket and dialed Conan's cell phone number again, but no one answered.

Shinichi! Why don't you come yet, Shinichi!

Conan forgot to charge his phone last night. Today the weather was so hot that he went to the amusement park with his phone and played for the whole morning. But his phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically.

No matter how hard Xiaolan tried to call Conan, she couldn't answer.

"My guess," Xiaolan thought desperately, "The place where the bomb was dropped must be in that blood-stained base!"

It was originally Kudo Shinichi's reasoning suit, and Xiaolan perfectly inherited her father Mouri Kogoro's ability in reasoning. When she encountered a situation where she had to work alone, if Shinichi's situation was not very problematic, Xiaolan would have panicked and wanted to apologize on the spot and confess that her reasoning had actually always been beaten by Kudo's new generation.

But now...she had no choice but to use her reading comprehension skills on the Chinese test paper and rack her brains to understand the words in the code.

"Well, it's coming, stepping, stepping on the blood-stained base... This base can be moved by stepping on it! It's covered in blood... This means that the thing containing the explosive is red!"

"Wait at the steel home plate, um... the bridge! It must be the bridge! The criminal might be on the bridge nearby to watch the police handle this whole case!"

After saying this I feel it's ridiculous.

Xiaolan smiled weakly and pinched the corner of her clothes weakly, "How about you invite more detectives and let everyone give their suggestions?"

"No, no need!"

Officer Megure suddenly realized, "The idea you proposed is very meaningful. I knew that you, Xiaolan, are the most reliable!"

Xiaolan struggled for a moment, "No, it involves the bombing case, I think this is still——"

"Inspector Megure, Inspector Megure!"

Shiratori knocked on the door twice hurriedly and walked in. "When Xia Ye went to check for explosives, someone planted a bomb in his car! Fortunately, the bomb was very small and he escaped from the car in time without any injuries."

“So rampant!”

Officer Megure gritted his teeth, "Where's Natsuno?"

Officer Shiratori relayed, "Natsuno said he had clues about the criminal who planted a bomb in his car, and he has already tracked them down. But he left a suggestion, saying that he could quickly and accurately decipher the code."

"Oh?"

Inspector Megure, who has many friends all over the world, immediately became interested. "What suggestions?"

Officer Shiratori paused hesitantly, "He said that since this code was written in the tone of the previous prisoner, we should just interrogate the prisoner and ask the original author of the code what he meant."

Inspector Megure: “Hmm?”

Inspector Megure: “That’s…right.”

Open your mind!

He immediately contacted the prison and interrogated the prisoner again. Sure enough, within just a few minutes, the prisoner had cracked the code.

The prison police called back immediately, "The prisoner said that this code was a scrap draft he drafted three years ago before attacking the Ferris wheel. I don't know who stole it - the target is the elevator of Tokyo Tower!"

Chapter 287 Suzuki Iko's Apology Gift

After hanging up the phone, Inspector Megure looked at the nervous Xiaolan with a friendly expression, "As expected of the famous detective Xiaolan! Your reputation is well-deserved, and your guess was so right!"

“It’s red in appearance, and you can step on it to move it—the elevator in Tokyo Tower! It’s exactly as you guessed!”

"what?"

Xiaolan was stunned.

"You must have guessed it in your mind a long time ago, right? You can guess more boldly next time. Have confidence in yourself!"

As he said that, Inspector Megure glanced at Maori Kogoro and said, "You are much better than your unreliable father!"

Maori Kogoro was still stubborn, "Xiaolan is so outstanding because of my influence!"

"hehe."

Xiaolan was so nervous that she clenched her hands in front of her knees and said, "Well, I have an exam this afternoon!"

"I'll arrange for Sato to take you back right away. It won't delay your exam!"

Inspector Megure readily asked Inspector Sato to take Mori and his daughter away. Xiaolan walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department with trembling legs. When she saw Conan, who was stopped outside the Metropolitan Police Department and was jumping in anxiety, her emotions broke down and she burst into tears.

Facing his daughter who suddenly burst into tears, Maori Kogoro was confused, "Xiaolan, why are you crying?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Xiaolan sniffed and cried, "I just think it's great that the police can get the accurate code from somewhere else, so that no one will die..."

This way no one will die because of my reasoning!

Maori Kogoro scratched his hair, not knowing how to start comforting him, "Your emotions are really becoming more and more developed..."

This is so strange, who did I take after? Eri is not like this, and I am even less like this.

My boyfriend is more reliable. Conan ran over with his short legs, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xiaolan. "Don't cry, crying will only make your eyes swollen. No matter what happens, calm down first, and then slowly solve it!"

Conan said as he slowly solved it, looking at his watch and then at Kogoro Mouri's neck.

If Xiaolan doesn't want to be a detective anymore, then there is nothing he can do but return to his old job.

Needle rubbing)

Maori Kogoro felt a chill on the back of his neck. Fortunately, Xiaolan explained immediately, "It's okay. The code was deciphered by others. I was just too happy and cried accidentally."

Conan understood instantly and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Maori Kogoro saw that his daughter was comforted by the little brat, so he went to drive without worry. As soon as he turned around, Conan, who had been waiting for a long time, asked impatiently, "What happened? What's the code? What's the case?"

Xiaolan looked at the serious Conan. She always thought that it was natural for Shinichi to find out the truth every time, and Shinichi had always been there to protect her. It was not until today when she faced the case alone that she realized how great the pressure was.

"Why are you so eager to deduce? Right and wrong are in your hands. If you make a wrong deduction, you will wrongly accuse innocent people. The code given by the bomb madman today is even more so. If you make a wrong deduction, countless people will lose their lives... It's really terrible."

Xiaolan squatted down and buried her face in her arms. "Why, why do you like reasoning so much?"

"Isn't it all right as long as you're always right?"

Conan also squatted down and looked up at the sky. "The pressure is great, but it is also joyful to deduce the truth. If everyone is afraid of responsibility and dare not deduce, there will definitely be more wrongful convictions and unresolved cases - it's just that the responsibility is no longer on the detective."

"Since I have a talent for reasoning and I have this ability, of course I want to solve more cases and reveal the truth to more people!"

Proud, bright childhood sweetheart like the sun.

Faced with such a Shinichi, Xiaolan often feels inferior, just like the grass cared for by the sun, but will turn yellow due to the scorching sun.

He feels inferior, but also envies Shinichi for having such a goal that makes him so passionate and brilliant.

And what about her? What can she do?

She is just an ordinary high school girl who is only good at karate. Where is her future? Where is the thing that can make her proud, brilliant and passionate now?

She subconsciously looked to her childhood sweetheart for help.

Conan patted her arm comfortingly. Feeling that he had coaxed Qingmei, he immediately revealed his true colors, "Trust me, it's okay! You just said the bomber's code? What kind of code is it? Who figured it out? Is it credible... Read it to me! Code!"

"Fool!"

Xiaolan cursed angrily, looked at Conan's anxious expression, and suppressed her emotions as she told him the story.

Sosuke Natsuno sent the photos taken from the convenience store surveillance to Haruna Miyano, and Haruna Miyano quickly found the information of the man who planted the bomb.

[Public Security Secret [03]: This man is called Watanabe. He was imprisoned for five years for making bombs privately and was released from prison only six months ago.

Public Security Secret [03]: As for the people in the crowd who were blocking your view, two of them did have criminal records. Although Japan's surveillance is indeed ridiculously inadequate, after investigation, we still found that they all went back to a small hotel called .

Newbie in Lesson 06[]: Thank you.

Public Security Secret [03]: You’re welcome. Once the Suzuki Group installs more surveillance cameras, it will be easier to investigate and obtain intelligence.

Newbie of Lesson 06 []: I heard that you and Suzuki are still doing that? (Probing)

Newbie of the Lesson [06]: It’s been so many days, so it’s time for that… If you want to, just ignore what I said. I think Suzuki has been acting like a lost soul these days.

Newbie in Lesson 06[]: I’m a little worried.

Public Security Secret Line [03]: Don’t do anything here... Don’t worry about this matter. I know him and he knows me.

Public Security Secret [03]: He knows what I want, but he is still struggling with it.

Public Security Secret Line [03]: In short, if an apology doesn’t come with what I want, I will ignore it.

Newbie of Lesson [06]: Thank you, thank you, sorry, sorry, I’m leaving, I’m leaving——】

Natsuno Sosuke let out a long breath, then turned around and opened the private chat with Suzuki Iko and relayed the message.

[Newbie in Lesson 06[]: That’s it. Next time, ask a girl instead of me!

Rich Daughter[18]: I wanted to ask your girlfriend for help.

Newbie in Lesson 06 []: Mayuka is Haruna’s friend, okay? I can’t even open my mouth when I think about it!

Rich Heiress [18]: ...Okay. 】

Suzuki Iko stared at the shopping interface on the computer and placed an order for a Lolita skirt with movable cat ears and tail with difficulty.

Chapter 288 No. 32: Rampant.jpg

After placing the fake bomb on the red train, No. 32 strolled back to the hotel with his hands in his pockets.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, he saw seven brothers celebrating. Seeing him come back, they came up to him excitedly and said, "Brother, you really are as good as a god!"

No. 32 smiled kindly, "Well done, is the big bomb ready?"

"It's done well..."

The fifth brother hesitated and said timidly: "But, with this equivalent, which can blow a car into pieces, what is it going to do?"

"I've thought about it," No. 32 said with a serious expression, "Even if this is the case, it's not safe. The Metropolitan Police Department has recently expanded its police force, and there are many patrol officers on the streets. We need a big event to divert everyone's attention."

etc.

He carried the big bomb on his back and said, "I'm going to distract the cops. You guys go to the post office."

"Big brother..."

No. 32 smiled and said, "Go quickly. It won't be long before the police can decipher the information in my fax. I'm going to wait for them on the Tokyo Tower with the bomb."

"Brother, didn't you plan to lure the police away for us from the very beginning?"

"How can we abandon you, brother!"

No. 32 shook his head solemnly, "Idiot! Don't you see how many times I've dealt with the cops? Nothing will happen to me! Only I can do this!"

"The cops! The cops are here! They're the cops whose car was blown up!"

The eighth brother who was guarding the gate ran over in a panic.

No. 32 was stunned. Takagi came to him so soon? This doesn't seem like him... maybe Conan is helping him.

He smiled calmly, "Don't panic, it might just be a visit, you guys leave through the window first, I'll deal with the cops!"

"Brother's loyalty!"

After the seven people rushed out of the window, No. 32 walked slowly to the door, intending to look through the peephole to see if Conan was following them.

When I looked into the cat's eyes, I saw a familiar face that looked murderous.

!!!

No. 32’s eyes went dark—how could it be the squad leader?
