Conan Moslin

Chapter 261: Legend of the Red Line (8) Declaration of War

Kuriyasu and Conan performed this drama of transplanting flowers and trees to perfection. Except for a few people who knew the truth, at least so far, both the pros and cons sides have no doubt that "the bomber has been calling Kuroba Kuriyasu".

Although the identity of "Kudo Shinichi's cousin" is a bit subtle, some criminals may seek revenge on Kudo Shinichi's relatives if they can't find him. But of course they don't have the mood to think so much now, after all, the threat of the bomber is still there.

At this time, a bomber wearing a gray windbreaker and sunglasses, standing in an abandoned building, looked through binoculars at the young woman surrounded by several children, and vaguely saw the shadow of Kudo Shinichi on her face.

The face beneath the beard was full of hatred.

"Listen carefully." His voice came from the amplifier. "Another bomb will explode at one o'clock in the square in front of Beihua Station."

One o'clock?

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately raised his wrist to look at his watch, while Li An glanced at the time on his mobile phone.

The time is now 12:42, and there are 18 minutes left before the second bomb explodes.

"Kudo Shinichi's cousin... you'll be able to find her out quickly, right?"

"Wait a moment."

In just a few short sentences of conversation, Kuroba Kuriyasu had quickly integrated the information he had obtained during this period.

If we follow his train of thought, perhaps we can get more clues.

At this moment, in the eyes of the bomber, the young girl seemed to be looking at him through a telescope. She seemed to be able to penetrate his layers of disguise and see through his true inner purpose.

The serious voice of Kuroba Kuriyasu came from the receiver: "Since you were originally looking for 'Kudo Shinichi'... then how can such a confrontation without any clues be considered a challenge to the 'detective'?"

Challenge letter...

Hearing Li An's words, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

A clue almost blurted out -

"Under the tree."

"But the bomb isn't buried under the tree..." I could hear the joy in his changed voice, "If you don't go quickly...it might be taken away by someone else, okay?"

The other party hung up the phone.

Hearing the prompt "The explosive ordnance disposal team has received it" in the headset, Kuroba Kurian glanced at the invisible figure in the abandoned building and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Conan, Aunt Yingli's car is nearby, let's go."

"What about us?" "We want to go together too!" "Sister Li An!"

The children of the Junior Detective Team naturally heard the strange noise from the other side, and they rushed to speak.

At this time, Li An did not tolerate their noise as usual, but walked quickly towards the car parked at the entrance of the park.

Behind him, Conan took out his second cell phone and saw a short-lived message from his main account in the message list.

[Cousin, they leave it to you.]

……

Of course, it was not only Conan and Kuroba Kuriyasu who got the second clue, but also Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki who had already reunited with Inspector Megure and others.

The explosion just now caused a small traffic jam in the surrounding area. At this time, Kogoro stayed in Officer Megure's car, while Kisaki Eri drove Kuriyasu and Conan, who soon caught up, to Beika Station.

Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai were a step late. They saw the splashes of water in the distance before they reached the Tsutsu River.

The two of them obtained the same information through the detective badge that had never been turned on. However, Dr. Agasa, who had just heard the information, was dragged down by Conan.

Can't say that.

In fact, because the three children of the young detectives had close contact with the criminal, the police might need to obtain some information through their description. Therefore, Conan did not ask Dr. Agasa to send them home. Instead, he asked him to pick up the three children who were clamoring to join in the fun, and temporarily settled the children under the pretext of having lunch, and then wait for his contact.

But in addition to Dr. Agasa and his men, some members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Division Mobile Group are also on standby at Beika Station...

So after six or seven minutes, the Mihua Station, which was not far from the Green Park, still seemed a bit crowded.

As soon as Li An got out of the car, he saw a lot of police officers in ordinary clothes walking around casually, conducting surveillance and carpet searches.

Their search must have yielded results, for now two police officers were standing in front of her.

"Ms. Li An, you don't have to go over there."

Miwako Sato held Takagi Wataru's arm, and in the face of the other's stiff expression, she smiled and chatted with Li An. The content of her conversation was completely different from her expression. "The blasting team has an officer who is very good at cracking codes. He has already determined the location."

Li An looked at the several benches placed around the flower beds outside the Beika Station, but there was nothing there.

Officer Sato was not panicked at this time. It seemed that the bomb had been taken away by the police.

Li An asked tentatively: "Is it related to cats?"

In fact, it was Eri Hime who figured out this code first, because she had an old cat named Goro in her apartment, which made it easier for her to associate it with the idea.

Conan couldn't solve the puzzle as fast as the cat-loving lawyer, Princess.

Officer Sato nodded and replied, "The bomb was placed in a pink pet box under a wooden chair. There was a white cat inside."

"If the other party didn't see me appear in his field of vision, or if the bomb didn't explode on time, he would be sure that I had called the police." Li An thought for a moment and added with some concern, "And... the explosive in the open space was indeed controlled and detonated by him."

Kurian asked Conan to control the remote-controlled plane to dive towards the center of the Tsutsu River, naturally to reduce the impact of the explosion on the surrounding area. In order to ensure that the bomb could actually sink into the water instead of detonating in the air, she deliberately asked Conan to change the original dive trajectory in advance and fall into the water earlier to offset the impact caused by the other party's premature explosion.

This move really seemed to catch the opponent off guard. He only reacted and pressed the detonation button when the remote-controlled plane was mostly in the water.

Unless they are equipped with a mercury device that will explode when moved, plastic explosives will not explode due to violent impact.

This also allowed Li An to confirm the existence of the control device.

Officer Sato understood Li An's concerns: "Since he has set his sights on you, he will not give up. Even if you call the police, he will definitely call again."

"As for the controlled detonation you mentioned... What happened was that Officer Matsuda pretended to be passing by and took the pet bag into a taxi, preparing to find an empty space with few people as soon as possible to determine whether to detonate or dismantle it." Officer Sato said, "He and Officer Hagiwara, who was pretending to be the driver, had changed into explosion-proof suits in advance."

Since most of the preparations have been done, there is no need to continue asking.

Li An stopped talking at this point.
