Chapter 167: Happy Birthday

"Lan, listen up...... しw0…… Next, I need you to defuse the bomb!"

“…… Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this.

"Ah, you should have brought scissors, right?"

"Well, I have a pair of scissors in my sewing bag. ”

"Okay, I've got the structure of the bomb in mind, it's up to me to defuse it. ”

“…… I know. Xiaolan swallowed her saliva and took out the scissors from her bag. Tear open the strap containing the bomb. In the face of the huge bomb, I could clearly hear Lan's heartbeat accelerating. "New, Shinichi I'm ready. ”

"Ahh First open the lid and push it up. Kudo said, looking at the construction diagram. "Then cut the outermost yellow wire first. ”

"Whew...... Drink...... ...... "Xiaolan gasped violently, and the tense atmosphere had reached its peak. With the construction diagram in my hand, I knew that there would be no explosion after the yellow line was cut. But Xiaolan didn't know, she saw that her hand holding the scissors was shaking constantly. Breathing is also gradually increasing. "Na...... New, Shinichi, I cut it. ”

"Ahh ”

"Little, Kaoru-chan. I, I'm going to cut ...... Huh?" Before her words were finished, Xiaolan saw that her still trembling wrist was held by a small hand.

"Hmm~ Sister Xiaolan, cut it. The innocent smile gradually turned into a touch of tenderness. "Cut it, I'll always be with you. ”

"Kaoru-chan...... Well. It was as if a word of encouragement had become Xiaolan's motivation. The hands that had been trembling also regained their calmness, and after taking a deep breath, Xiaolan made up her mind and moved the scissors in her hand. With his eyes closed, he cut down on the yellow wire.

Syllable.

A crisp cracking sound sounded, and the yellow line broke in response. Xiaolan's nervous heart also reached the extreme, and then gradually relaxed......

"Shear. Cut off the ......," Xiaolan exclaimed softly.

"Hmm~" I grinned with my teeth.

"New, Shinichi, I cut it. ”

"Ah, well done. Kudo also sweated outside the door. "I'll see...... Next is brown. ”

"Good. ”……

As the minutes passed, Xiaolan's trembling hands gradually found a rhythm, listening to Kudo's instructions and my supervision. Together, we slowly dismantled the whole bomb. Finally, with less than ten minutes left, the last three wires were left on the bomb.

"Well, that's good, just cut the black thread. Conan wiped the sweat from his head on the other side of the door, and said in Kudo's voice with his voice-changing bow tie. "Just cut the black thread and the timer stops. ”

"Black? I see. Xiaolan also breathed a sigh of relief and responded slowly. Then he picked up the scissors and cut them down against the black line. But the timer didn't stop as Kudo said. Instead, he continued to walk around. "New, new...... I've cut the black line, but the timer doesn't stop. Moreover, there are two lines that are not cut, one blue and one red. ”

"Nani?!" Conan's pupils suddenly contracted. I hurriedly went to look through the design drawings, but found that there were no red and blue lines on the design drawings. "How can this be?!Kaoru! What the hell is going on!"

“…… This bomb must have been specially handled by someone. On the other side of the door, I calmly looked at the blueprints sent by Conan. He analyzed the bomb again. Until then, all the steps are correct, except for the last one. I frowned as I stared at the severed black line. "The black wire is the guide wire, and when the black wire is cut, the circuit automatically connects to where the red and blue lines are. Although it is two lines, it is in the same line area. In other words, one of these two lines is the line of fire. The other is a resistance wire, where two wires are connected in parallel. If the line of fire is cut. Then everyone will be happy, and everyone will be safe, but if the resistance wire is cut...... The current is overloaded, and a huge fireworks show will be staged here. ”

"Damn! That guy from Teji Moriko deliberately fooled me!" Kudo, who was on the other side of the door, hammered the floor hard, but to no avail, and looked at the time, there was not much time left until the bomb detonated. "What should I do, what should I do! Kaoru, think of a way!"

"If there is, I won't need Xiaolan to do it. And......" I muttered under my breath, looking back, and Ran was already staring at me with a look of surprise, and of course, a little kid had uttered such technical terms about bombs, which was enough to make her so stunned that she stopped her work.

"If you want to make specific confirmations, you need to peel off the protective layer, and at the same time ensure that the core inside will not be damaged in any way, otherwise ......" I subconsciously rubbed my injured right arm, it is not impossible to connect the arm in the current state, but it is almost impossible to do such a precise work in the current state, which is more dangerous than speculative cutting, after all, if the two wires are damaged because of my shaky hands, then this bomb will explode!

———— the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardian————

As the minutes ticked by, we were all thinking about how to dismantle the bomb, and in the current situation, it was impossible to defuse the bomb with my technology, so we had to bet on the red and blue lines.

"New One...... What should I do, which one am I going to cut?", Ran asked Kudo. But there was no response from the other side of the door, and Kudo was anxious to know what to do, right?

"Now, Kaoru-chan, what should I do?" Seeing that Kudo didn't answer herself, Xiaolan turned her eyes to me in a hurry.

"Wait a minute, Sister Xiaolan, let me think about it. I thought with a frown. "Teji Moriya is a perfectionist. There must have been a purpose in leaving the red and blue lines. If you think about it, there must be something we have overlooked. I muttered to myself. When he went to Emperor Sengu's house with Xiaolan that day, what did Xiaolan say to him...... If Teji Moriya is aimed at Kudo. Then today's bomb must have been specially prepared for Kudo. Red line, blue line. What does that mean exactly...... Knock~~~Knock~~~~

Just as I was thinking...... At the outer end of the building. A pleasant bell rang, twelve o'clock. There were still three minutes left before the explosion.

"New ......"

"Huh?" I responded, but I could feel that Kudo's feelings were very anxious at the moment.

"Happy birthday, Shinichi. ”

"Huh?!"

"Because...... I may not have a chance to say this to you in the future. Xiaolan smiled softly, but there was a little sadness in the laughter. Maybe it's the fear before he dies, or maybe he hasn't even seen the last side of his lover before he dies.

On the other side of the "Ran ......" gate, Kudo's voice was not anxious, but turned into a very relieved feeling. "Huh...... Cut it. ”

"Huh?"

"Cut it. Kudo threw away the blueprints in his hand. Sitting on the ground, the reflection of his glasses made it impossible to see what kind of expression he was on at the moment. "Pick your favorite color cuts. ”

"But if I cut it wrong......"

"So what...... Anyway, I don't cut it. When the time comes, it will explode, so in that case, pick your favorite color cut. Feel relieved...... I'll be here for you all this time you've been cutting. A gentle smile tugged at the corners of Kudo's mouth. "Even if it is death, I will be here with you. ”

"New ......" a soft sentence made Xiaolan's face show a touch of relief.

Rumble!!!

There was a loud bang. The whole building began to shake again. I guess the bombs in other areas have been detonated, and after the explosion just now, the ceiling on the upper floor has become fragile. After feeling the second shock, a lot of rubble fell from the ceiling of the upper floor. Xiaolan picked up the bomb and left the area of the door, and I also used my right leg to kick the ground, and jumped away quickly with an arrow step, but such ruins, no matter how we shouted. Kudo outside the door couldn't be heard.

With a long exhale, Xiaolan picked up the scissors again. Now she's on her own." ”

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry...... If it weren't for me calling you out to play. You won't be able to do that. Xiao Lan, who had made up her mind, said apologetically.

"What are you talking about, Sister Xiaolan. I grinned at my little white teeth. "There's no such thing. Whatever the outcome, I won't blame you. ”

"But if I cut it wrong......"

"Hee-hee, I believe that Sister Xiaolan will definitely be able to cut the right thread. ”

"Kaoru-chan...... That. What's Kaoru's favorite color?"

"Purple Oh~"

"Hehe~ Sure enough. I like purple as much as my brother. Xiaolan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and burst into laughter. "Unfortunately, it's only red and blue. If it's an older brother...... Red. Blue, what kind of choice will my brother make? I'm sorry, but I have to rely on someone else. ”

"If it's Sister Xiaolan's brother. I think he'll ask Sister Xiaolan to cut the blue thread. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... It's because he's Sister Xiaolan's brother that he doesn't want Sister Xiaolan to cut the red thread he likes. Not to mention...... Isn't today's movie the legend of the Red Line?"

"The legend of the red line?" Lan thought as she looked up. "Hmm...... That's right. The red line between me and Shinichi...... I don't want to cut it!" With a smile on her face, Xiaolan's scissors cut towards the blue thread, only to hear a click, and the blue thread broke in response. The timer came to an abrupt halt, and there was a sense of tranquility in the air.

"Cut ...... It's cut off, the timer is off!" a hint of excitement appeared on Lan's face.

"Hmm~ Sister Xiaolan, we succeeded!" I smiled at Xiaolan.

"Hmm...... Is...... It's great......" Before the words were finished, Xiaolan fainted because of the tense nerves relaxed in an instant. Of course, I was by her side and I held her up for the first time.

"I'm sorry, Ran. Obviously, in the last three minutes, I knew that I should cut the blue line...... But it's still up to you. I smiled at the angel in my arms. "Well...... Even if it's an unforgettable memory for you and Kudo. After all, you won't be able to see Kudo anytime soon. Scold...... Of course, they haven't seen me yet. Still, let's be patient a little longer. Soon my brother will be back. ”

Due to the dislocation of my right arm, I can only sit on the ground with one hand and half hugging Xiaolan like this. Waiting for rescuers to arrive. But soon, just after the gravel was piled up, Conan walked in with a large number of search and rescue personnel to dig up the rubble.

"Kaoru, Sister Xiaolan, are you all right?" Conan saw me and hurried towards me. "Kaoru, Xiaolan, she ......" I saw Xiaolan sleeping in my arms. Conan's expression tightened.

"It's fine, just asleep. I said calmly. "Hurry up and ask someone to take the people here out, and by the way, help me get a stretcher. I'm walking a little hard......"

"Ah, I'll go right away. With that, Conan ran out, after communicating with the search and rescue personnel. He immediately ran back. "Kaoru, are you alright?"

"Ah, I can still bear this kind of Cheng dù's injury. Looking at Xiaolan's sleeping face, I replied gently.

"Whew...... Great, Xiaolan cut the blue line. Conan let out a long breath. "Did you tell her to cut the blue?"

"Hmm. Sort of. ”

"You know everything?"

"Ah, knowing that the prisoner is Emperor Moriya II, I will know the meaning of these two lines after a little thought. ”

"yes, that nasty guy made me discover that blueprint in order to fool me. Conan gritted his teeth and said hatefully. "It's good that you're here, otherwise if Xiaolan really cut the red according to her favorite color, it will be over. ”

"Peace of mind...... Even if I wasn't there, Ran would have cut the blue thread. ”

"Huh, why?"

"Well...... If it's the reason, you can ask her yourself when she wakes up. "Left Conan in suspense. I handed Ran to Conan, and after giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead, I limped towards the search and rescue personnel. They were quickly carried away from here. This is the end of this huge explosion.

happybirthday: Apricot

うまく言ができなくて本当はすまないと思ってる

しばらく悩んでもみたけどそのうち疲れて眠ってる

weekendのこの街の空気は人いきれでむせ返り

深くため息をついたら街スピーカーに消された

それらしい言叶を和べても伝わることなど始めからない

にぎやかなこの街の空に思いきりはりあげた声は

どこか远くの町にいるあの人へのhappybirthday

何か小さなトラブルで人だかりに酒みこまれ

個かのつまらないジョークにほんの少しだけ笑った

いつかこの街のどこかで君と意外出会っても

何を言したらいいのか今でもよくわからない

ひとつずつこわれていく世界で流した涙に何の意味がある

にぎやかなこの街の空に思いきりはりあげた声は

どこか远くの町にいるあの人へのhappybirthday

にぎやかなこの街の空に思いきりはりあげた声は

にぎやかなこの街の空に思いきりはりあげた声は

どこか远くの町にいるあの人へのhappybirthday

Not being able to talk to you really makes me uneasy

I fall asleep tired in the tossing and turning of worries

The air in this city on weekends is always choking hot

Just sigh deeply and disappear into the loudspeakers on the streets

No amount of similar words can convey it in case

I had to shout towards the noisy sky

Say happy birthday to you in that faraway city

For a slight disappointment, I can binge drink until dawn

No matter how wonderful a joke is, it can only make me smile reluctantly

If at some point, we meet unexpectedly in this city

Where will a thousand words come from? I don't know

My world has crumbled because of you, broken into pieces that cannot be patched together

The irrepressible tears no longer have any meaning, only an emptiness

I had to shout towards the noisy sky

Say happy birthday to you in that faraway city

"Boom......" dozens of minutes after being carried out of the building. Xiaolan woke up on the hospital bed in the ambulance. The blurred vision gradually became clearer, and soon. Kogoro with tears in his eyes and Conan smiling on the side appeared in her eyes. "Daddy...... Conan?"

"Woo...... Xiaolan, that's great. Woooooooo Kogoro wiped tears from his eyes excitedly.

"Sister Xiaolan. How does it feel? Conan asked.

"Hmm...... I'm fine. Xiaolan sat up and shook her head, her thoughts gradually linked to those of dozens of minutes ago. "By the way, where's Kaoru-chan?"

"The child has already been taken to the hospital first. And the doctor said that he would be in the hospital today, and Kaoru himself said that we should see him again tomorrow. Kogoro wiped the tears from his eyes. "I've heard everything Conan know. Xiaolan, you have to thank that kid. ”

"Well, if it weren't for Kaoru...... Maybe I already have. Xiaolan said gently. "Well, let's go see him tomorrow. "While Xiaolan was talking to her father and Conan, on the other side, I had already gone to the hospital before Xiaolan woke up. I felt it would be better to leave the rest of the time to Kudo, so I left first, and I still had some things to do alone.

"But you're brave, kid. In the ambulance, one of the ambulance workers smiled at me. "I didn't cry even after being so badly injured, but I was much better than my Taro. ”

"Ha, ahaha~" I scratched my head embarrassedly and laughed. "Well...... Anyway, crying doesn't solve the problem. That's right, Uncle Doctor. Excuse me, are we going to Rice Flower Hospital next?" I said.

"Ah, that's right. The emergency room at Rice Flower Hospital is fully open to face the explosion. What's going on?"

"Oh, that's right. Excuse me, is there a doctor named Marissa in the emergency room?"

"Hmm, do you know Director Marisa?" the doctor's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Director?"

"Ah, Director Marissa is an all-round genius physician who has returned from studying abroad, and is good at various subjects and surgeries. Although he was only 21 years old, he became the director of the hospital and is now the attending surgeon in the Department of Surgery. Kid, do you know her?"

"Huh...... I guess I know each other. I sneered, it seems that Mary is doing well at Rice Flower Hospital. It also gives me a lot of peace of mind. "That...... Uncle Doctor, can you please help Dr. Marisa treat me later?"

"Ah...... This one...... I can't guarantee that Director Marissa will have time, but I'll do my best to get it for you. ”

"Well, thank you uncle~" Whew...... Finally, Mary, I was able to talk to you last time I passed by the hospital. (To be continued)

ps: The skyscraper is over, the demon is put on hold for the time being, I'm going to the angel's side...... Time is limited...... The update speed is slow, please see the officials Haihan. Above.

ps: I don't tell you sù that I have my own birthday today but I write about someone else's birthday, which is very unhappy.
