Chapter 188: Come to the Snow
"Ah, Kenshin, you-"
"I'll go out for a while!"
"Is it to the scene? Shall I go with you? ”
“.....”
Looking at the glow of curiosity and excitement in the eyes of the garden, Su Du couldn't help but be speechless for a while. The daylilies that rushed over were all lit up.
"There's just an explosion there, it's too dangerous for you to go..."
"It's okay, you have Kenshin~ If it's Kenshin, you will definitely be able to protect me!"
“......”
"You have a point......
The garden looked at Twilight with a gaze full of love and adoration, and Twilight didn't know what to say.
So, if it doesn't make sense, then there is no other way to do it.
"Sleep..."
It was just a simple mental hypnosis, and the garden yawned and fell asleep sweetly.
After carrying the garden back to the room, Twilight uses the apparition to feel the scene, in fact, if he didn't know the exact location of the bomb, he could have used the crystal ball to monitor it.
"Hey, little ghost, have you caught the murderer?" Soon, Twilight finds Conan at the scene.
Because he personally rushed over to intercept the vehicle, Conan also received the impact of the explosion and was covered with dirt and dust.
"You're here too?" Conan first asked angrily, and then said: "No, the bomb was timed by remote control, and the murderer calculated the time when the train passed in advance..."
"Oh... That's good..."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!"
Twilight grinned and reached out, but when she noticed that Conan's head would stain her hand if she continued to touch it, she took it back again.
"Bastard..."Conan cursed in his heart, how could he, a detective, not see such obvious movements as Mu Dui?
"You still dislike me... Will you let you touch it? Throwing a wide roll of the eyes at Twilight, Conan turned to discuss the case with Twilight.
"Who do you think the bomber who sent the threatening letter and this time will be?"
"How do I know that Mayor Asakura has been in office for so many years, even if the reputation has always been good, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied with him, right? And he seems to have presided over a lot of projects before he became mayor..."Mu Dusk glanced at Conan without a trace, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly after seeing him fall into deep thought.
"So, Mayor Asakura will go to the ceremony of the eighth anniversary of Kitanosawa Village the day after tomorrow... Mayor Asakura presided over the construction of the Kitanosawa Reservoir there before he took office..."Conan muttered in a pensive voice.
By the time he came to his senses, Twilight was gone, and he was just here to make sure that the murderer, Keisuke Yamao, had been arrested.
"This guy..."
"What's wrong? What's going on again? Xiao Ai and Dr. Asasa who happened to come over couldn't help but quickly ask when they saw Conan's expression.
"It's nothing, that guy from Scarlet Village Kenshin just came."
"Scarlet Village Kenshin? By the way, he was the one who called you in the car just now, right? ”
"Hmm... That's right..."
Conan had a foul expression on his face, and even though he had just gotten a lot of inspiration from Twilight's prompts, he was still upset at the thought of Twilight.
Of course, only he knows if there was any reason why Mu Twilight thought of where the bomb would be planted before him.
Soon, based on the hints given by Kiki and his own reasoning, Conan decides to go to Kitanosawa Village to investigate.
Originally, he was just looking for Dr. Asa and Xiao Ai, after all, these two people not only knew his true identity, but also a good technical aid, but because Dr. Asa accidentally slipped his mouth, it turned out to be a trip for the Maori family and the young detective team.
And Yuanzi, as Xiaolan's best friend, was naturally invited.
"Little ghost, you think too much... This is the theatrical version, what if you can't get all the people together? Looking at Conan's depressed expression, Mu Twilight couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
He only came this time to collect points and items, and no one died in the end anyway, so he had no intention of interfering and was ready to be a bystander during the whole process.
So when Conan came to him again to discuss the case, Mu Du immediately put on an attitude of "the weather is so nice today", "I don't know anything", "I'm just here to make soy sauce" and blocked Conan back.
"Damn fellow... He knows something for sure! ”
"So what? Can you force him to speak? ”
“......”
"Gray Plains... Can you make any medicine-"
"You're thinking too much..."
“......”
It's just that Mu Twilight doesn't cooperate, and even Xiao Ai is so uncooperative, which suddenly makes Conan depressed and want to vomit blood.
As for the other three imps of the Junior Detective Corps, they were even crazy, and even secretly went out in the middle of the night to ride a snowmobile in the mountains, and finally the car was destroyed and lost and had to be rescued by him, which really made his head big.
Of course, it was also because of this opportunity that they first came into contact with the murderer Keisuke Yamao, and also came into contact with several other people involved in this case.
As Fuyuma, the only eyewitness eight years ago, wakes up from his coma, the murderer's actions beg.
Since the completion of the Kitanozawa Reservoir, it has been a habitat for swans, and the blue lake is one of the must-see spots.
It was just that on their way to the reservoir, a sudden burst of snow fell from the sky, and then after the snow stopped, the group found the first deceased Shogo Hikawa on an open snow field in front of them.
"Xiaolan! Go call the police! After the familiar opening statement, Kogoro Mori and Conan immediately rushed forward.
"Frozen to death... No... It's a heart attack..."Although Kogoro Maori can't reason, he has been a detective for so many years, and he has worked as a police officer before, so he still has a lot of experience in identifying the cause of death.
"There are only footprints of Mr. Glacier on the snow... Could it be that he had a heart attack when he walked here? Mori Kogoro reasoned quietly.
"Ah, I remember that Glacier has always had a bad heart since he was a child..."Mizuki Tono, who was on the side, quickly said when he heard this, as if he deliberately wanted to blame Glacier's death as an accident.
But with our Grim Reaper schoolboy Conan there, unexpectedly? Inexistent.
"No, he was killed!" Before Kogoro could speak, Conan had already preemptively said, otherwise Kogoro's IQ would definitely be led astray.
"Killed? How could it be that Mr. Glacier's footprints alone were killed? Wrong! Why are you here again, little ghost—" Kogoro reacted, picked up Conan and threw him out.
Mu Dui, who was on the side of the "......", almost didn't laugh directly when he saw this scene.
To be honest, Mu Du really admires Conan's endurance, and it's really 'Kogoro abused Conan thousands of times, and Conan took Kogoro like his first love'.
For no reason, Twilight turned her gaze to the back of Kogoro's neck.
"If it weren't for the anesthetic needle that could be dissolved, Kogoro's neck would have become a honeycomb, right?"
"Well... It seems like a flat point..."
Sure enough, after Conan pulled it out of the snow, he didn't care about Kogoro's abuse at all, and told his reasoning while selling cuteness.
"Ahh Obviously he has snow in his hat..."
Even if there is no snow on his body, but there is residual snow in his hat, does he have a hat when it snows?
"Unless he's dead by then..."
"In that case, why is the snow on his body gone?"
"There was another person there—" Kogoro Mori stopped and continued to beat Conan, touching his chin and 'reasoning'.
"But why is there only a row of footprints in the snow-"
"It's very simple, as long as the murderer wears a pair of shoes that are exactly the same as Mr. Glacier, and walks back backwards when the snow stops!"
It wasn't Conan or Twilight who spoke, and although they had already reasoned out, they didn't have time to say it.
So—it was the 'Queen of Reasoning' garden that spoke.
"Wow, you're amazing!" Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim, and even Mu Du and Conan on the side had shocked expressions.
"Could it be that a fool has a thousand thoughts?" Mu Du quickly shook his head, it was rude to think like this.
Soon the police arrived, and according to the direction of the footprints, they found the small cabin of the murderer who had found the back of the carabol, Takehiko Muto.
However, Conan quickly thought of the key information hidden.
"The old newspaper of eight years ago... Worth 40 points..."
On the one hand, this newspaper records the murderer's negligent collision and death eight years ago, and on the other hand, it records a jewelry store robbery and murder case, and both cases were actually committed by the murderer alone, and Glacier used this incident to blackmail the murderer so that the murderer was killed.
"Great... The points of the theatrical version are much higher than those of ordinary episodes..."Mu Dui's eyes lit up, and he quickly made a copy of the newspaper in his hand and put the original in his backpack.
As he re-shifts and leaves, the side slowly opens with a creak, and Conan's little ghost sneaks in and finds a copy of the newspaper that Twilight has put back.
"Then there should be the bombs and detonators that blew up the reservoir, the jewels worth one billion yen that were robbed, and the soccer ball that helped Conan be rescued..."
"Bombs and detonators are good to collect... Although the looted jewel is now the site of Kitanosawa Village, it is not difficult for me..."
"But that inflatable ball in Conan's belt... That's right... And solar-powered skis converted from skateboards... How do you get your hands on this?"
Back in the room, Twilight was thinking about it while watching Conan's every move through the crystal ball.
If you get the bomb and detonator in advance, you can avoid a disaster, but it is unknown if the inflatable football can still be Conan's life-saving football.
"Hmm... Let's take a look at the value of those bombs before deciding..."After thinking about it, Twilight decided to wait and see.
Soon, the signal base station in the village was blown up by the murderer, and the village temporarily lost the ability to communicate with the outside world. At the same time, the three elves of the Junior Detective Corps leave the village with their eyewitness Fuyuma, who has been sleeping for eight years, to search for lost memories, and are then attacked, but Conan is able to save them in time on a solar ski.
Conan and the others followed the path into the reservoir dam and were attacked by the murderer, and at this time, Mu Du had already teleported to the dam in stealth.
"Bombs... Value... Belch... 5 points? ”
"Ten bombs for a total of 50 points..."
Twilight was a little torn about the value of ten bombs plus the detonator and the soccer ball that saved Conan's life, which made it difficult for him to choose for a while.
"By the way, I can take these bombs and exchange some from the CF system myself-"
"Then get him a fake detonator, and I'll detonate my bomb at the same time when the killer presses-"
"What a genius I'm in!"
In a flash, Ki Twilight appeared behind the murderer Keisuke Yamao, who was holding a shotgun in the dam to find Conan and the others who had broken in.
"Regent!"
In the face of the sneak attack of magic, the murderer Yamao had no possibility of resistance at all, and he was directly hit.
Soon, Twilight finds the box of jewels and the location of its burial from Yamao's memories, and replaces the real bomb detonator in his possession with a fake one.
"Bomb detonator... Worth 20 points..."
"Bombs are coming—"
"The treasure chest is flying—"
As long as you know what the item looks like, you can use the Flying Charm to summon the object within the range of mental power and magic power.
With the Flying Spell in hand, Mu Twilight wouldn't be stupid enough to run to the bottom of the reservoir and touch the box.
"Let's plant the bomb again..."
Like a hard-working bee, Twilight happily presses her bomb onto the reservoir when Conan is being hunted down by the murderer.
It didn't take long for the Junior Detectives and Mizuki Tono to arrive here and save Conan from the murderer, but during the struggle, the killer accidentally pressed the button of the detonator.
"Bang-"
With a bang, Mu Du calculated the countdown time and pressed the detonator in his hand, of course, the bomb he detonated was still far away from Conan and them, otherwise if he accidentally killed Conan, how would he get points in the future.
"Oh no, get out of here-"
Conan looked at the detonator that had been pressed down in the murderer's hand, then at the location of the bomb explosion in the distance, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted.
The murderer's goal was to drain the water from the reservoir and reveal the submerged site of Kitanosawa to retrieve the jewels he had hidden, so there was no need to completely destroy the dam, just blow up a gap.
Therefore, both sides of the dam are still safe areas, and it is safe to escape there.
"Quick! Hurry up—"
Even after being shot and chased by the murderer for so long, Conan did not leave the injured murderer behind.
"Really, you said that you got the security guards on duty at the dam, and you just turned on the flood discharge, and you bothered to install some bombs..."
Twilight complained as she pressed the detonator button in her hand one by one, watching Conan sweat and run for his life, and Twilight couldn't help but smile wickedly.
