Conan Moslin

Chapter 265: Legend of the Red Line (12) Railroad Tracks

The number Kaito called from was naturally Kuriyasu's own phone, and no one had any doubts about the fact that she brought "two mobile phones" at the same time.

However, after learning from the mobile phone amplifier that Kuroba Kuriyasu's younger brother Kuroba Kaito and his classmates were also on the train, Inspector Megure and others were obviously having a headache.

Even Conan began to carefully observe Kuroba Kuriyasu's expression, fearing that she...

Huh? Weird?

Why does he think Sister Li An would do something dangerous?

Ah no, now is not the time to talk about this, he needs to sort out the clues as soon as possible...

Of course, Kuroba Kuriyasu was very calm at the moment when facing this news——

"Kaito, listen to me."

"Hei Yu, don't..."

Kuroba Kuriyasu ignored Kogoro Mori's words of dissuasion and went straight to the point without hesitation: "There are five bombs at the 'XX of X' position on the Toudou Loop Line. The trigger for the detonation is..."

"Current speculation..."

There was no need to explain what had happened before. Kaito Kuroba on the train immediately knew that his sister was involved in the incident and they were also involved.

Obviously, the voice he had heard before did not agree with his sister telling him this, but those people could not influence Li An's decision at all.

Kuroba Kaito did not ask Li An whether this matter was related to what she was investigating today, but asked directly: "Besides solving the mystery, what else can I do?"

Having sensed something was wrong, Hakuba Tan pricked up his ears, but he still couldn't hear what the other party said. After all, at this moment, Kuroba Kaito absolutely could not turn on the amplifier and convey this truly explosive news to the ears of ordinary passengers.

On a train that runs at 70 kilometers per hour today, if there is a commotion where people jump off the train, it will be difficult to deal with.

Li An's words seemed to be a commonplace: "Although the possibility of it being in the car is low...but if you really find the existence of a bomb, be careful--"

"Don't worry."

"It will be over soon."

……

It was already past 4 o'clock, but so far, Inspector Megure had not received any news of the train explosion.

Kogoro Mori, who was standing by, obviously strongly disapproved of Kuriyasu's behavior.

If they were to rashly learn of this news while living in a closed environment, they could not imagine what the consequences would be.

"You shouldn't tell them about this. It will cause panic."

Li An said, "Among the people who are with Kaito, in addition to the daughter of the police officer and prosecutor, Nakamori Aoko, there is also the son of the Hakuba Superintendent, Hakuba Tan. The three of them will not cause any trouble."

Even if Kaito was the only one on the train, she wouldn't hide it in this situation.

Inspector Megure, who just hung up the phone from headquarters: !!!

Nakamori's daughter and the child of Superintendent Hakuba are also on the train?!

Officer Megure digested the news with great difficulty, thinking about reporting the matter as soon as possible, while changing the subject back to the news he had just received: "The headquarters has established a joint command center. I'm going to the command room of the Toudou Railway. Do you want to come with me?"

Maori Kogoro: "I'll go with you! Eri, you——"

"Wait a minute." Hime Eri put down the notebook in her hand that had recorded a lot of information. "Kuroba, you just mentioned the possibility that the bomb was not on the train in the conversation with that child. No one has mentioned this speculation since a while ago... Do you have any new ideas?"

Li An looked out the window quietly. A train was passing between the buildings covered by layers of rice paper.

That might be the one that Kuroba Kaito is riding in right now.

……

"I repeat, this train will not stop at any station in the short term. In addition, if you find any suspicious items in the car, please do not touch them and please notify the conductor immediately!"

The broadcasts in the train sounded continuously, and all the train crew members who received the news took action.

They carefully checked possible locations in the train, such as "under the seats" and "above the shelves", and sent back messages without abnormalities to the integrated command center at the headquarters.

"XX of XX? Is this the information that Ms. Kuriyasu mentioned?" Hakuba Tan has already exchanged information with Kuroba Kaito. "Both the setting sun and the train speed will be problematic?"

"Yeah." Kaito nodded.

Under the current circumstances, it was impossible for Nakamori Aoko to stay out of it. She was just simple in character, but she was not weak when it came to serious matters, and she also joined the discussion.

——The passengers around were distracted by the broadcast on the train and the conductor's repeated searches, and no one paid attention to the high-risk conversation between three seventeen-year-old boys and girls.

Aoko: "Could it be a timer placed in the car that activates when the sun sets? In that case, it could be inside the car, on the roof, or underneath the car..."

Conan in the apartment was taking notes frantically: The sun sets around 7pm...

Kaito: "Maybe it's a timing device linked to the speed of the train. After all, the trains don't dare to stop now."

Conan in the apartment began to sketch: Bombs that monitor speed are usually installed at this position on the train...

Qingzi: "If we haven't found it in the car yet... could it be on the track? Sister Li An just mentioned that the possibility of it being in the car is not high."

In the apartment, Conan heard Li An's guess that he was not on the train and began to calculate seriously: a 200-meter train running at 60 kilometers per hour would take about...

Bai Ma: "The darkness after the sun sets... the track where the train passes... is it related to light?"

Conan in the apartment finally showed a look of relief on his face: "Sister Li An! I figured it out!"

……

Following Edogawa Conan's guess and the quick return call, Kuria put forward his own guess.

"It's a photosensitive bomb."

What Li An said would be over soon was certainly not an exaggeration.

In addition to her own judgment on the matter, some vague impressions also provided her with some help.

It is of course impossible to integrate all the story content and details into one's bones and blood. Even if Muma Village was chosen initially, it was only because Li An had some impression of the "Muma Village fire" and conducted a careful investigation based on it.

"The longest buffer time for the bomb to detonate is exactly the time it takes to pass through at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The condition that the bomb will explode when the sun sets can also be matched."

Similar speculations came from the explosion-proof team almost at the same time, and they were sending a request for confirmation to the newly established joint command center.

But even so, the police still dare not act rashly, and it is still very important to check whether there is a bomb on the train.

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori rushed to the command room of the Touto Railway, during which time they were bombarded with various phone calls.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sun is setting.

Everything is out in the sun.
