Chapter 164: Ring Line Bomb

"I've kept you waiting, this is the meal you ordered, please use it slowly~" About two hours later, I followed Xiaolan and Yuanzi to a fast food restaurant in the Mihua City Building for afternoon tea, and as the time approached, the excitement on Xiaolan's face became more and more. (In order to have a romantic date with Kudo, Xiaolan still has to wear a red coat today, and inside is a lilac shirt, but what hasn't changed is that there is still an orchid brooch pinned to her chest.) It seems to have become a habit, and no matter when or where, Xiaolan never forgets her brooch, of course, swimming, karate and so on.

"I have to say Xiaolan, the dress you picked out is really good-looking. It goes well with the red color you're wearing. Opposite Xiaolan, the garden smiled at Xiaolan while sipping coffee.

"Thank you. Xiaolan said with a blushing cheek. "Because this month Shinichi and I are both lucky in red. That's why I wore this dress. ”

"Hey...... No wonder you're wearing red. It turns out that it's not just for couples. The garden laughed. "Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen Shinichi in a long time, so I'll go with you. ”

"But the movie we're going to watch is boring, and the guy is very boring. So ......" After listening to the words of the garden, Xiaolan immediately panicked.

"Okay, I'm kidding you. The garden said with a sly look. "Who's going to be your light bulb, you take what people say right away, so it's fun to tease you, hehe. ”

"Uh......h Garden, you really are. Xiaolan said angrily.

"However, I really didn't expect your father to agree to let you go to the midnight movie," Yuan Zi wondered.

"Hmm...... Although he has a bit of an opinion. But I don't care about him. I guess he's talking to Conan about what to eat tonight, right?"

Forehead...... Now Conan is already lying in the hospital. As for what to eat...... Let's wait for him to solve the case at hand. I squinted at the half-moon and thought unscrupulously.

"By the way, Ran, you had a date with Kudo, what about this kid?" Sonoko gestured to me sitting next to me. "Why don't you let me take this child home and stay for two days~"

"Huh, that...... This ......" Xiaolan couldn't help but be ashamed.

"Thank you for having me, Sister Yuanzi. However, aren't you going home at nine o'clock tonight? It's boring to have Sister Xiaolan wait for Brother Kudo alone for the next hour, so I want to stay here with her. "I hastily declined the invitation of the garden, of course, I'm here to help Conan round the field today. What should I do if I leave the game first?

"Hey...... You really care about Xiaolan, Masaka...... You little devil like Shanglan?" Yuan Zi poked me in the cheek with a gossip and slyness.

"Huh?! Don't talk nonsense. Kaoru is a child. Read the full text of the latest chapter. Xiaolan looked at the garden in embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding. Yuan Zi waved his hand, "But today's children are really precocious, not only Conan's little ghost makes people feel very mentally mature, but even Kaoru makes me feel a peer atmosphere." It's incredible. ”

"That's Sister Yuanzi, your mental age is still stuck in Cheng Dù, a primary school student. I squinted at the half-moon and complained. By the way, dispelling Xiaolan's doubts about the words of the garden, the reborn daughter of the house, read the full text.

"Nani?! See how my sister cleans you up. "The garden was clearly set ablaze by my words. Rubbing my hair non-stop. Xiaolan, on the other hand, sat across from her, smiling softly at the two of us...... Well, well, I was bullied unilaterally. But glanced at Xiaolan's appearance a little and looked at his happy smile. It can be seen that the words of the garden just now did not have any impact on Xiaolan. Alas...... At this time, I have to be careful in all aspects, and I can't instill a little bit of information into Xiaolan. Otherwise, if something really happens, how can I get around? Kudo has already been suspected once. I don't want to come back next time.

Halfway through the afternoon tea with Xiaolan Yuanzi, a phone call came into my mobile phone, and I picked it up and found that it was Conan's number. Standing up and leaving Xiaolan and the others, I walked to a floor-to-ceiling window and picked up the phone.

"Awake?" I asked, picking up the phone and being the first to ask. "Just heard in the news and from Dr. Asasa that you're injured. How's that now?"

"Ah, it wasn't long before I woke up. Conan didn't say much and went straight to the point. "There's no time left, Kaoru, the prisoner planted five bombs on the Eastern Capital Ring Line. The start starts at four o'clock this afternoon, and if the train falls below sixty kilometers, it will explode. After the sun goes down, the bomb will explode if it is not defused. The original words of the hint given by the prisoner were: "I installed those five bombs in the "xx x of the ring line of the eastern capital]. Each of these x's represents a Chinese character. It's already half-past four, and the current situation is that all trains are staying above seventy. The sun is expected to go down in just two hours. Kaoru, I'm a little sorry for asking you, but from experience, you should know more about things like installing bombs than I do, and I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

"Well...... Although you said it so bluntly made me a little unhappy, but for the sake of your injury, I won't pursue it. I chuckled. "I won't help you analyze the motive or anything, after all, I wasn't there when the prisoner called. As for the "xx of x" you just mentioned, I think it should be more than just the connection within the loop. Judging by the fact that you have been injured, the prisoner can detonate the bomb anywhere without mercy, so it is possible to do whatever he thinks is effective. ”

"What do you mean...... The bomb shouldn't be in the car?" Conan frowned.

"Yes. The detonation methods of plastic bombs can be divided into remote control, voice control, light control, and risk control. Timing, thermal, vibration, firing pin detonation, leads, etc. Since the prisoner has given a speed limit, then remote control can be ruled out. Firing pins, leads, etc. Again, this excludes the possibility of the bomb being left in the car, where the speed does not affect the detonation of the bomb. ”

"But, if it's a remote control. It's still possible, right?" Conan thought for a moment.

"It's possible. But if it's a remote control, why would the prisoner call you to leave a reminder and say such a bunch of dispensable restrictions?" I said calmly. "I don't have a clue about the motive or anything, but I can still guess a little bit about the psychology of the bomber. So I don't think it's very likely to be remotely controlled. Unless the prisoner is crazy and just wants to play big. ”

"Indeed...... This time, the prisoner specified that he wanted to fight me. But when my uncle answered the phone in the hospital just now, the prisoner didn't mind too much, which shows that the purpose of the prisoner this time is not me, and the duel with me is just a cover?

"No, not necessarily, by the way, how did you get hurt?"

"Ah, the first bomb was a firing pin bomb placed on a remote-controlled aircraft. As a result, the plane was taken by Yuan Tai and them to play, but fortunately no one was injured. After I spoke to him as Conan, he asked where Kudo was. But when I tried to adjust the bow tie and change my voice, the prisoner said that it would be okay to let you have a child. Then I was told a hint of where the next bomb would be. ”

"The prisoner is watching you at the scene?"

"Yes, at the top of an abandoned building. But in the blink of an eye, the man was gone. ”

"The butcher's wife...... Go on. ”

"The second bomb was placed in a cat cage under a tree at the train station, and it was a timed remote-controlled bomb. It was taken by an old woman, and after I caught up with her, the bomb had just over twenty seconds left to detonate. But somehow it stopped at 16 seconds, after I left the residential area on my bicycle with a bomb. The bomb started to kick off again, and when I threw my bike into the river. The bomb exploded, and I was wounded. ”

"Eh, the prisoner manually pauses the bomb's timer when he places the bomb in the residential area, and turns the timer on again when he leaves the area?" I frowned. "Can a bomb be detonated without mercy and then pause in a residential area, which means that there is something near that residential area that forces the prisoner to pause the bomb timer?"

"Ah, Officer Twilight has already sent someone to search the area. I don't know what the outcome will be. Conan said solemnly. "By the way, do you have anything in mind about the purpose of the prisoner we just talked about?"

"Hmm...... It's not clear for the time being, but the criminal's logical thinking is too confusing. But what I know for sure is that all of the bomber's crimes are targeted and purposeful. ”

"How?"

"First of all, the first point is that this prisoner stole a large amount of gunpowder, but he called you first after the news report. Prove that this prisoner is indeed targeting you Kudo Shinichi. If he is just trying to hide from others, then it is more direct for the prisoner to go directly to the police or TV station. I stared at me. "The second point, the toy airplane you just mentioned. and a time bomb in a cat cage. Both bombs detonated, and they didn't care how many people were around. So this prisoner doesn't care about how many people are killed or wounded, but he doesn't detonate all the bombs at once, which shows more that he is targeting you. However, when you talk to him as Conan, he gives up asking Kudo, in other words, whoever will dismantle the next bomb is the same, or you use Conan's identity to provoke the prisoner, if the first bomb represents that the prisoner wants to tell you that he is playing the truth, then the second bomb is a provocation and disdain for Kudo Shinichi. ”

"Is that so...... And by purpose, you mean that the second bomb will be suspended?"

"That's right," I replied immediately. "As mentioned earlier, the prisoner did not care about the size of the crowd, but he put off the bomb, that is, there was something in that area that undermined his purpose. Or something he didn't want to destroy. So he opted for a pause. It could be the location of the prisoner, or it could be to protect something from the explosion. Otherwise, he would never have made such a mistake that would show his feet. ”

"Ah, that's what I thought. The corners of Conan's mouth lifted slightly. "And what about the current loop?"

"To be honest, I don't know, because the prisoners weren't targeting the crowd, so I couldn't figure out why the bomb was mounted on the loop. I mused. "Maybe we've overlooked some of the other clues, but you'll be left to solve the puzzles. I'm only responsible for this loop-and-line bomb incident. I replied indifferently. "To get back to the point, I just talked about the control of the bomb. Then we've ruled out a lot. As for the sun going down, it will detonate. I think it might have something to do with light. Or maybe it has something to do with the control of light. ”

"What do you mean...... Inside the headlights?"

"No, this does not meet the requirements of the first speed limit. ”

"So that is to say, the detonation conditions of this bomb may be the risk control brought by the speed, and the light control brought by the sun? No, because it is a loop, if the turning place encounters a headwind, then it cannot be accurately controlled, if this is the case, then even the risk control can be ruled out. ”

"That's right, it's a lot smaller. Considering that it is a ring line, it can be excluded under the body and on the side of the body. Then all that's left is ......"

"Above the roof, in front of the front, behind the rear? No, these places are too conspicuous to be noticed. Maybe maybe ......"

"Maybe the bomb wasn't in the car at all, but in the ......"

"Between the railroad tracks!"

"Between the Rails!" (To be continued)
