Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

"Dudu!"

The phone suddenly rang, interrupting Dr. Agasa's words. He walked to the side and answered it. A man's voice that sounded like he had been treated came from the other end.

"Is Kudo Shinichi here?"

"……Wait a mininute."

Dr. Agasa covered the microphone and turned to Conan who was watching TV: "Shinichi, it's for you. The other party seems to be using a voice changer when speaking. Be careful."

"Strange, there are still people looking for me..."

Conan looked confused, but he still adjusted the butterfly tie transformation device and answered the phone in Kudo Shinichi's voice, "I'm Kudo Shinichi, who are you?"

"High school detective Kudo Shinichi,"

The strange man on the other end of the phone laughed grimly, "I am the one who stole the explosives from the Japanese gunpowder depot. Tell me your cell phone number quickly..."

Conan's expression changed slightly: "Humph! I have no obligation to give you the phone number!"

The man chuckled: "So you want to cut off the only way to contact me?"

"...I know, my phone number is..."

……

It was afternoon, and Mori, who had just had a good chat with Hattori Heizo on the phone about the serial murders in Osaka, was now enjoying the sunlight coming in through the window.

Today, Conan went to Dr. Agasa's place, and Xiaolan was not at home. He was the only one in the entire detective agency. Whether drinking beer, watching videos, or sleeping, Maori could completely follow his mood. This was undoubtedly the greatest happiness for a middle-aged man with a family.

"Tokyo is really peaceful here. Even if there are cases, they are just occasional minor cases. They are nothing compared to the vicious serial murder cases in Osaka..."

Maori stood up from his chair, stretched lazily, and looked out the window. Happiness often comes from comparison - he originally thought that the public security in Tokyo was not good, and he often encountered cases and felt very tired. As a result, after listening to the description of the situation in Osaka by Hattori Heizo, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, he suddenly felt that Tokyo, the capital, was okay again, and he, a detective, was also okay.

"This peaceful life can probably last at least another year..."

"boom--!"

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the distance, and faintly black smoke could be seen after the huge explosion.

Mao Li's mood and expression froze instantly.

Chapter 47: You will always pay for what you have done - Being a detective will always lead to revenge

"The teenager who took the explosives from the residential area to an open space outside the highway has been taken to the Green Terrace Police Hospital by the police and is receiving careful care from the hospital..."

At around 3 p.m., when Mao Li rushed to the Green Police Hospital, the explosion was still being reported on the TV in the ward.

Dr. Agasa, Ayumi and a group of people were surrounding the bed, waiting for the doctor to examine Conan who had just woken up.

"Given his physical condition, he should be able to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Let him rest more."

"Doctor, thank you."

After watching the doctor leave, everyone surrounded the bed. Officers Mori and Megure, who had been standing outside the door, followed him into the ward.

"You little brat, why are you doing this? If anything goes wrong, you'll be dead!"

Maori looked at Conan and started to scold him, "It was Shinichi who received the call from that guy, right? If he couldn't get away, wouldn't he know to contact me? You little brat got involved!"

"S-Sorry, uncle..."

Of course Conan knew what Maori meant, so he lowered his head and admitted defeat, his voice as soft as the hum of a mosquito.

"Okay, Maori brother, please put aside your criticism of Conan for now."

Officer Megure said, "Now that he's awake, let's sort out the whole story of this explosion!"

……

"Anyway, that's how it is..."

Officer Megure put his hands behind his back and repeated the situation to everyone, "According to our police judgment, the two plastic bombs currently used by the criminals are probably made of gunpowder stolen from the Japanese gunpowder depot... As for the criminal calling Brother Kudo specifically, maybe he came to challenge him because of his fame."

"Fame?"

Maori frowned. "To be honest, I might be a little arrogant. I should be the most famous detective in Japan recently. Why did the criminal have to choose Shinichi? From the perspective of challenge, I should be more challenging, right?"

"That's right... that's exactly what happened."

Inspector Megure began to think.

"Could it be because that Shinichi brother offended someone?"

The fat boy Genta interrupted, "In Kamen Rider, there are always weirdos who challenge Kamen Rider, just to get revenge on him!"

(Kamen Rider, hey hey...)

Conan's mouth twitched, but he also began to think carefully about the criminal's purpose - it is indeed possible that he had offended someone in the past while solving a case...

At this time, Officer Shiratori, who came from an aristocratic family, said according to the records in his manual: "According to the investigation results, the criminals in the cases solved by Kudo-san are still in prison... If we look at it from the perspective of revenge, they may be the families of the criminals."

"The prisoner's family?"

The words "prisoner" and "family" made Mao Li, who had a past experience with them, feel uncomfortable. But he quickly shook his head, controlled his divergent thoughts, and walked to Ayumi and leaned over:

"Ayumi, you, the Junior Detective Team, had direct contact with the criminal, right?"

"Ah, um."

Ayumi looked at Maori and nodded blankly.

"Not only did they have contact with the criminals, but when the criminals handed them the remote-controlled aircraft loaded with bombs, their characteristics were all recorded."

Inspector Megure explained.

Mitsuhiko excitedly took out a piece of paper with a doodle of a man wearing sunglasses, with a long beard and long hair, and wearing a hat:

"This is it. Isn't it a great drawing? The three of us drew it together!"

"indeed,"

Maori took the drawing paper, looked at it, and handed it to Conan. "The obvious features are all drawn, but the criminal should be disguised. I'm afraid we can't find the criminal with these?"

"Well, our police are still searching for the possible perpetrators."

Officer Megure didn't hold out much hope, and continued to ask Ayumi and the others, "Besides these, do you have any other impressions?"

The three children fell into deep thought: "Well, this doesn't seem to be anything special..."

"odor,"

Ayumi sniffed her nose and suddenly remembered, "I smelled a sweet scent. I smelled it when that person handed the remote control to Mitsuhiko."

"odor?"

"Is there?" Yuan Tai asked confusedly, "Why don't I smell anything?"

"I didn't smell it either."

Mitsuhiko shook his head.

“Is the sweet smell from cosmetics?”

"I don't know, but it seems a little different from perfume..."

"It smells good,"

Mao Li thought about it, but could not come up with an answer for the time being, so he could only say to Ayumi and the others, "Okay, you guys go back first, and contact us if you remember any suspicious clues."

"Yeah! Conan is much better now. We'll pick him up tomorrow."

"Then we'll go back first. See you tomorrow, Conan."

Mitsuhiko and Genta were very obedient this time. Only Ayumi looked back at Mori who was thinking, with a thoughtful look on her face, and hesitantly followed Mitsuhiko and the other two away.

"Officer, if the criminal this time is seeking revenge against Shinichi,"

Dr. Agasa looked at Inspector Megure and asked, "Which case is this person most likely to be related to?"

"Eh?"

Officer Megure was a little stunned, "It should be..."

"It should be the case of Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City, right?"

Conan acted cute and said, "I heard from Shinichi brother!"

"indeed,"

Inspector Megure also remembered this case and nodded in agreement. "I remember that time when Mayor Okamoto stepped down in disgrace, even the planned new town building plan in Nishitama City was completely stopped after the new mayor took over... It caused a great impact on society at that time."

"I'll go investigate right away."

Officer Shiratori immediately nodded and left the ward.

"The police will investigate the criminal's identity. During this time, I will keep in touch with him for the time being."

Maori walked to the bedside and took Conan's phone, "But the police can't find out who is calling?"

Officer Megure shook his head: "The criminal was on guard against our police from the beginning and even used a voice changer on purpose."

As soon as Inspector Megure finished speaking——

"Drip drip!"

The phone suddenly rang, and everyone in the ward immediately tensed up.

"Is it the prisoner?"

"I guess so,"

Mao Li nodded to Officer Megure with a serious expression, then answered the call and pressed the speaker button: "Hello, who is this?"

"Where's Kudo Shinichi?"

"Kudo Shinichi is not here now, so I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will be your opponent!" Maori said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, the Akechi Kogoro of the Heisei era? Well, then you will bear my wrath for Kudo!"

The man sneered, "I will only say this once, listen carefully. I have installed five bombs on the Dongdu Loop Line. Starting from 5 pm today, if the train speed is less than 4 kilometers per hour, the bombs will explode. In addition, if you do not dismantle them before sunset, the bombs will also explode. This time I will only give you a hint..."

"I installed the five bombs at the X of XX on the East Capital Loop Line, and each X represents a word. Well, it's all up to you, great detective!"

The man decisively hung up the phone. Amid the continued busy tone, the faces of everyone present became quite heavy.

Officer Megure held his chin and said, "It seems that he has already set up the bomb to start at 4 pm. If the speed of the train drops below 60 kilometers, the bomb will be detonated as he said... In short, I have to contact the headquarters immediately..."

"PhD,"

Conan suddenly asked, "If Ayumi and the others go back, will they also go through the loop line?"

"Yup!"

Dr. Agasa exclaimed, "If they want to go back to Beihua, they will definitely take the loop line from Midoridai Station! We have to notify them quickly!"

"It's only a few minutes until 4 o'clock..."

Conan gritted his teeth and hurriedly used the detective badge of the Junior Detective Team to contact the children, "Ayumi, can you hear me? Where are you now?"

"On the loop, Conan,"

Ayumi said happily, "We just caught up!"

"It's already up..."

"We have confirmed with the Dongdu Railway Dispatching Headquarters,"

While on the phone, Officer Megure said to Maori, "From now on, all trains on the circular line will maintain a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and no trains will stop at stations. The question now is where are the bombs..."

"B-bomb?!"

Ayumi and the others were startled when they heard the sound, "Conan, is there a bomb on the train?"

"Are we doomed?"

"Don't worry, you will be fine. We will find the bomb soon!"
