Chapter 0416: Events Before the Birthday

Saturday, May 3, afternoon, Midoridai Police Hospital, Conan's ward.

After reading the fax, the Twilight Police Department showed a page with a portrait in the fax, and asked Conan, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, "Have you seen this person?" and handed the other faxes to Yamazaki and Dr. Asasa, who were standing next to him and reading them.

Seeing that the man above was wearing sunglasses, with a full beard and dragged to his chest, wearing a long trench coat, Conan, Motota, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi shook their heads together and said that they had not seen it.

"By the way, Conan, you said that the explosives in the cat's cage suddenly stopped, didn't that happen?"

"Well, the display was sixteen seconds left. Conan said, "It stopped for about a dozen seconds, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to send the explosives to the river." ”

"In this regard, first of all, it may be because the timer suddenly malfunctions, and then it may be that the prisoner used the remote control method to stop it due to some reason, and there are probably two possibilities. "I think it's probably the second one, which is ......."

"The prisoner had been in Conan's vicinity, watching Conan. "Shiratori, report to the management officer immediately, there may be new clues along the way." ”

"Yes. "The Shiratori Police Department has responded.

At this time, a police officer with a nurse came to report that the hospital's front desk lady received a call from Conan, saying that she had turned sideways and invited her in.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Could you please tell me about the situation?" ”

"Yes," said the front desk lady, "the man told me to inform you that he would call the kid who had just been admitted to the hospital in a few minutes, and that he should not track his number, otherwise you will know the consequences." ”

"That's all?" asked Maori.

"Yes," said the receptionist, "yes, his voice is strange. It's a fake when you hear it. ”

"Okay, I got it. The Twilight Police Department said, "Thank you." Then he asked, "Can you use an extension cord to move that phone here?"

"It should work. The front desk lady said.

"Well, please. The Dusk Police Department said.

When the front desk lady left, Maori asked, "Police, apply for a tracking device." ”

"No," said the Twilight Officer, "the prisoner may be watching the hospital somewhere, and it's too late." ”

At this time, the Shiratori Police Department came over with a fax, "These are people circled above, who have a grudge against Kudo Shinichi and have the ability to commit crimes." ”

Looking at the top, Mori said, "Kohei Okamoto, the son of the former mayor of Seishitama, is a junior at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University. Then he said, "Former mayor of Seitama, I remember that he was guilty of killing someone in a car and having his son take the blame, and he was later exposed, and then he resigned and went to prison." ”

"Yes, this incident was done by Kudo Shinichi. "At first, we all thought it was just a simple traffic accident, but Kudo had a lot of doubts about the accident. ”……

Seishtama Town Police Station, accident vehicle parking lot.

After seeing the accident car, Kudo Shinichi took an evidence bag from the Twilight Police Department, which contained a cigarette butt that had been pinched off not long after smoking, and asked Okamoto Kohei: "This cigarette butt was discarded next to the victim's body at the scene of the crime, and the police have found that there is your saliva on it, is this what you lost?"

"Yes," said Kohei Okamoto, "I ran out of the driver's seat in a panic after I hit someone, and I think maybe she lost it unconsciously at that time." ”

"I see," Kudo Shinichi asked, "judging by its length, it didn't take long for you to smoke it before you had an accident, right?"

Kohei Okamoto said, "That's right, there was an accident after the fire was lit. ”

Kudo Shinichi asked, "Did you use a lighter?"

Kohei Okamoto said in a bit of a panic: "Yes." ”

Kudo Shinichi asked, "What kind of lighter do you use?"

Kohei Okamoto changed his words and said, "I used the cigarette lighter in the car. ”

Kudo Shinichi asked, "So could you actually sit in the driver's seat and light a fire for me?"

Kohei Okamoto said, "Okay. Then he got into the driver's seat of the accident vehicle on the right.

Kudo Shinichi said, "You just need to do a few movements, but please fasten your seat belt." ”

"Good. Kohei Okamoto did so.

"With this, this is the same brand of cigarette as the cigarette butt that fell at the scene. Kudo Shinichi took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette, and said, "Please use this cigarette as a demonstration." ”

Kohei Okamoto put the cigarette in his mouth and reached out with his left hand to get the cigarette lighter.

"Pause!" Kudo Shinichi said with a smile, "Yes, if you want to get a cigarette lighter from the driver's seat on the right, you have to stretch out your left hand to get it, but this cigarette lighter only has the fingerprint of your right hand on it." Kudo Shinichi smiled and asked, "What is going on?"

Kohei Okamoto said, "I seem to be using my own lighter. ”

Taking out a gold-trimmed gold lighter, Kudo Shinichi smiled and said, "No, when you went out, you forgot it at home and didn't bring it out." Then he added, "And your father is a non-smoker, so on the night of the crime you were sitting in the passenger seat and using the cigarette lighter in the car, that is, sitting next to your father who was driving at the time." ”

"You've swapped fingerprints everywhere else, even the position of the seat and the angle of the mirror, but you seem to have missed the cigarette lighter. The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mayor Okamoto?"

"Ha, ha," said Governor Okamoto with a smile, "That's how your Metropolitan Police Department police handle the case? Invite a high school student? He doesn't even have a driver's license, what do you know? Do you have to wear a seat belt to drive? At that time, Haohei didn't wear a seat belt, and he used his right hand, so he used his right hand to get the cigarette lighter, so he didn't see the front when he put the cigarette lighter back, so this traffic accident happened that no one wanted to see. ”

"Yes, yes," said Okamoto, "I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. ”

"Since the Metropolitan Police Department has set up the Nishitama City Police Station in Nishitama City, we should believe in the ability of the Seitama City Police, there are tens of millions of people in Tokyo, and you are busy with the manpower of your headquarters alone?" Mayor Okamoto said, "Kohei, let's go, and take a good rest before your verdict comes out." ”……

However, the victim's family believed Kudo Shinichi's words and later sued Mayor Okamoto, winning the case and sending Mayor Okamoto to prison. "I remember that the incident was handled by Attorney Kujo, and she left Okamoto's lawyer speechless. ”

"I see. Mori said, then asked, "By the way, you also look for Kudo for this kind of thing?" and thought to himself, what a lot of business this is, so come to me later.

"This is what he came to me. The Twilight Police Department said angrily, and at the same time thought to himself, I was also criticized, and asked me not to meddle in the affairs that the local police station is capable of solving.

"Ah," Māori grumbled, discouraged, "the trouble-seeking boy. ”

Conan puffed up his triangular eyes and said don't speak ill of people behind his back.

"The Okamoto family has several small companies that make explosives and have different people send them, so that our police can't find clues. Mayor Okamoto must have made a lot of friends as mayor for many years, and it is not strange to know the addresses of those victims, and Mr. Kohei is indeed capable of doing this express explosives incident. The Shiratori Police Department added, "But the motivation to challenge Kudo Shinichi's past and send explosives across the country doesn't seem to be enough." ”

"The prisoner must have done this to disguise his true intentions," Maori said. ”

"What intentions?" asked the Dusk Police Department.

"Well...... "Maori couldn't answer.

Seeing that the time was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, the Twilight Police Department said to the three members of the detective group, "Alright, children, you should almost go home." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "That's right. ”

Motota said, "Conan is much better. ”

Ayumi grabbed Conan's hand and said, "If you have any difficulties, notify me with the detective badge, and I'll be right over." ”

Feeling the gaze of Yamazaki and Dr. Asasa, Conan said with a headache, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Mitsuhiko said with some envy: "Conan is so good. ”

Yuan Tai sighed, "I really want to be in the hospital." ”

Seeing the three of them leaving, Maori smiled at Conan and said, "You little ghost, I didn't expect you to be so popular, you have a set." ”

Conan sighed in his heart, you don't understand my feelings at all.

At this time, the front desk lady came over with a phone that connected to an extension cord. She received a call from a couple of people looking for a doctor, got a call from the man, then pressed the speakerphone at the signal of the Twilight Police Department, and went out.

The other party asked, "Kid, are you okay?"

Conan said, "It's fine. ”

"I'm the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division," the Metropolitan Police Department asked, "who are you? ”

The other party did not answer, but said: "The second explosive was also found by you, and you really impressed me." It seems that my question is simple, just for children. Now the police are on your side, right? Let's do an adult question. ”

Maori said, "That's right, it's grown-up time from now on. ”

"Who are you?" asked.

Mori said, "I'm Detective Mori Kogoro. ”

"It turned out to be you," the other party laughed, "I wonder if your bad luck can bring me more fun before I find Kudo Shinichi." ”

Maori exclaimed, "Damn fellow, you have the ability to stand before me." ”

"Standing in front of you, this sounds a bit of detective cunning. The other said, "Okay, I won't delay your time." From 4 p.m. today, three minutes later, all trains on the Tokyo Metropolitan Ring Line will be able to travel at a speed of less than 60 kilometers per hour. ”

"Ring, ring!" "The Twilight Police Department and the others were taken aback.

"Not good. Yamazaki went out with that, and Conan and Dr. Asa saw him take out the detective badge, and their faces immediately changed. At this time, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi may have already gotten on the train.

Maori shouted, "Hey, tell me clearly, where is the explosives?"

"Aren't you a detective? The other party laughed, and then said, "Forget it, it seems that you are not as good as Kudo Shinichi, so I will give you a hint, even if the speed of the train is maintained at more than 60 kilometers per hour, there will be scenes you don't want to see after the sun goes down." ”

Conan asked, "Uncle, how many explosives are there?"

"The child asked the point, it seems that the detective is not even as good as the child. The other laughed, "Come on, sleeping detective." If not, go find Shinichi Kudo, I know your mobile phone number, and I'll get in touch with you. With that, he hung up the phone.

"Ah, this damn fellow. Maori shouted, then said, "Police, this guy must be bluffing to put explosives on all the trams, which is obviously impossible." ”

"No, it looks like it's true. "The explosives are probably set to start at 4 p.m., and if the speed of the tram is less than 60 kilometers, it will actually cause an explosion as he said." Then I called the Matsumoto management officer.

"The question now is where the explosives are?" added Shiratori, "is it really related to the train, is it that he detonated the explosives placed elsewhere when he found the speed of the train was low, and blew up buildings elsewhere, or was the explosives on the train, and the train detonated as soon as the train slowed down, or was it like in the movie "Speed of Life and Death", the train exploded on its own as soon as it slowed down." ”

At this time, Yamazaki returned, "Motota and the three of them just caught the train, and now they are on the train." What else did he say later?" and listened to Dr. Asasa for a moment.

At this time, the phone rang, and the Dusk Police Department answered the phone, and found that it was a hospital call, and hurriedly called the front desk lady in.

Soon after, the phone rang again, and the front desk lady answered and gave the receiver to the Twilight Police Department, which was the phone from Matsumoto Management Officer, and asked the Twilight Police Department to rush to the Tokyo Metropolitan Railway Dispatch Terminal immediately, take charge of the work there, and bring Mori with her.

"Maori. The Twilight Police Department shouted.

"Yes. Maori replied. ……

At the same moment, on the tram.

Motota looked out the window and asked, "Don't you think this train is weird?"

Mitsuhiko asked, "What's so strange, Motota?"

Yuan Tai said: "It's almost time to get to Mihua Station, but the speed is getting faster and faster. ”

At this time, the announcement on the train sounded, "Please note that due to an accident, this train will not stop at the next station, Yomeka Station, and will not stop at another station for a short time. Also, if you find anything suspicious inside the train, do not touch it and notify the conductor immediately. Repeat...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

Yuan Tai asked, "What does it mean to have a sudden accident?"

"Well," Mitsuhiko said, "it's a sudden accident." ”

Yuan Tai asked, "What is that suspicious item?"

Mitsuhiko said, "It's just a strange thing. ”

Motota asked, "I know, I'm asking what the strange thing is?"

"Well...... "Mitsuhiko couldn't say it for a while.

Motota asked, "Did you say that the train was loaded with the thing we met in the afternoon?"

"Ah, I see. Ayumi said.

"What do you know?" asked Motota and Mitsuhiko.

"I know why Brother Yamazaki hung up the phone when he knew we were on the train just now. Ayumi smiled happily, "Because there were explosives on the train, and we were already sitting on it at the time, it was useless to say anything." Then he was stunned, looked at Motota and Mitsuhiko, who were also stunned, and said very frightenedly, "There are explosions and explosives on the electricity and trams?"

Yuan Tai said: "Sure enough. ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "Aren't we going to die?"

"I don't want it. "Ayumi is about to cry.

"Damn. Yuan Tai said angrily, and then said, "Okay, at this time, we can only rely on ourselves, and it is time for the Junior Detective Group to dispatch." ”

"That's right. Mitsuhiko said, "We'll definitely be able to find the explosives." ”

"Alright, let's go. Ayumi shouted. ……
