"After 4 o'clock today, if the train on the Dongdu Ring Line travels at a speed of less than 60 kilometers per hour, then the bomb will be detonated; If you don't defuse them before the sun sets, the bombs will be detonated as well. ”

The Twilight Police Department, whose brows were furrowed, finally couldn't help it when they heard this, and reached out to pick up Conan's mobile phone.

Anyway, the other party has decided that the owner of the phone has entered the police station, and it becomes very reasonable to change the police to continue the conversation.

"What the hell are you trying to do these things......"

This unfamiliar voice came into his ears, and the other side of the call let out a sneer that was still full of contempt after changing his voice, as if he was very disdainful of the fact that "Kudo Shinichi" had found a "helper".

"It's okay to call the police, involving more people will only expose your incompetence even more, I will announce to everyone after the victory that you lost this gamble and killed everyone."

Not only refusing to communicate, refusing formal dialogue, but also not even making corresponding demands and blackmail targets, this is a determined madman.

Knowing that he had encountered the most difficult murderer this time, Twilight Thirteen's face also became ugly.

If there is no room for negotiation, then the police will lose most of the space they can operate within.

And although the prisoner's logic is strong enough, it is clear that he planted the bomb, has malicious intentions, and is the one who caused the explosion, if he makes public the conclusion that "the explosion was caused by the police and detectives who could not solve his mystery and defuse the bomb in time", then there will indeed be a considerable number of people who blame them for these problems.

This is the natural torture that they have to face when they do this kind of profession and stand in this position, after all, their duty is to punish crime and maintain order.

The man on the other side of the phone seemed to be very pleased with the silence here, and after letting out a hearty laugh, he added the last sentence: "Okay, that's it, I don't have anything more to say." ”

The phone hung up, a busy beep rang out, and several people in the office looked at each other.

"Speaking of which, you said before that the prisoner misunderstood that you were Brother Kudo, what's going on?" Facing this prisoner with an extremely arrogant attitude, the Twilight Police Department, which has repeatedly increased its attention, couldn't help but look at the elementary school student and the old man who came with a mobile phone.

He remembered that didn't Brother Kudo say that he followed his parents abroad for some reason, why did he even ...... his mobile phone number

"Oh, this one, this prisoner shouldn't know Shinichi himself." Dr. Asa quickly glanced at Conan and Yusuke Kitagawa who was inexplicably involved, and explained stubbornly, "He called the landline of the new family, and then we heard his question about the bomb or something, and we didn't dare to say that Shinichi was not there, so we casually gave him a mobile phone number......"

"So, this young man who was brought over by Conan's children ......" Twilight Thirteen looked at Yusuke Kitagawa, who had eaten the three-person biscuits that the police had prepared for the children.

"Oh, my voice is very old when I hear it, and Conan's voice is like a child when I hear it, and Conan found a ......friend of the right age on the way to find the bomb," Dr. Asasa pushed down his glasses and said without a heart on the way to find a bomb.

"In any case, it is not appropriate to involve unsuspecting citizens to come in." Twilight Thirteen glanced at Yusuke Kitagawa, who looked out of his face as if he didn't realize what kind of danger he was fighting today, and he still didn't approve of their behavior as a foolish and ignorant high school student.

"Yes, yes, that's ......" Dr. Asasa could only wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded loudly.

"It's also thanks to you that you can fool the prisoner by pulling a stranger." Twilight Thirteen shook her head and whispered, "It's a good thing the prisoner doesn't know Brother Kudo." ”

Dr. Asa laughed dryly, glanced at Conan, who also had an embarrassed expression, wiped his smooth head, and didn't dare to continue speaking.

There was no way, they couldn't make Conan answer the phone with the voice changer, and as a result, under a series of coincidences, the prisoner misunderstood Kudo Shinichi's arrival at the scene and explained it clearly, so the police could only misunderstand.

After chattering about the unruly old man and the children, the Twilight Police Department, who was almost used to it to some extent, turned his head and began to arrange the next work.

"Takagi, you go and notify the command center of the Dongdu Railway, inform them of the bomb situation, and ask them to empty all the trains that are operating as much as possible, and after 4 o'clock, the operating speed of the whole line cannot be less than 60 kilometers per hour!"

"Yes!"

"Sato, contact the explosive ordnance disposal team, before 4 o'clock, every train on the ring line must have a professional on board to screen for bombs!"

“…… Be! ”

"Shiratori, take two people to retrieve the files related to Brother Kudo and do a simple interpersonal screening."

"Yes!"

"I'm going to inform my brother Maori, and then I'm going directly to the command room of the Dongdu Railway to communicate directly with the explosive ordnance disposal personnel."

After giving the order, straightening his hat, Twilight Thirteen prepared to leave the police station with his feet raised and rushed to the Dongdu Railway Headquarters.

“…… So, what about us? He thought that he had provided a key clue, but after listening to it for a long time, several members of the junior detective group who didn't even mention a word looked at his ruthless back.

"You ......" Twilight Thirteen glanced back and waved at the officers in the office, "get them some more cookies." ”

After providing evidence for so long, the children were indeed a little pitiful because they mixed up some cookies and were eaten up by unconscious high school students.

"Ah——?h

————

"Chengshi, it's time to get moving."

"Is it finally getting started?" Narumi Asai, who was leaning against the wall and closing his eyes, opened his eyes, moved his slightly stiff hands and feet, and adjusted the headset next to his ear, "Then let's go." ”

"I haven't been a doctor for so long, can I still hold my hand?" The female voice in the headphones chuckled.

"I wasn't a surgeon before, was I? However, basic surgical procedures will still be performed. Asai Narumi pulled up his mask, completely hid his face in the black mask, and took advantage of the chaotic scene of the train entering the station and evacuating passengers, and lightly drilled through the cordon and walked into the maintenance lane.

"Again, pay attention to the direction and don't let your shadow cover the tracks." Akemi Miyano looked at the window in front of her and emphasized, "Wait until the bomb is detonated, and rush to the palace of Emperor Moriya as quickly as possible." Our time is similarly limited. ”

The temple based on the entire Setama City covers a huge area, and even with their current strategy progress, it is still very difficult to break through the entire central axis in the fastest time.

And they're only going to have one day left.

"Don't worry, we won't miss it." Kimie Shimabukuro's energetic voice came, "Please, Noah!" ”

"Leave it to me. The location of 5 bombs has been confirmed. Moving forward, the Loop train is about to stay running at 70 yards, and you'll only have 3 minutes between the two cars to get started. Pay attention to the safety two-digit. ”

Akemi Miyano switched several surveillance angles, watched as two companions who were good at disguise finished their infiltration work, and toggled the channel signal on the console.

"Hoshikawa, it's your turn."

"Roger."

After straightening his hairstyle and hiding the miniature headset deeper into the hair, Hoshikawa looked at the expressionless Akechigoro in the mirror, calmly straightened his clothes, and smiled with a warm and confident smile.

He walked out of the bathroom, put away the maintenance sign in front of the door, took the safe passage and quickly entered the station, crossed the entrance level that was being blocked by the police, and walked to the command room of the railway.

“…… Wise brother, why are you here. ”

Twilight Thirteen, who heard the movement behind him, turned his head and looked at Akechi Gorou who walked through the door, a little surprised.

Not surprised that he was able to walk in - the underage detectives wanted to enter the scene controlled by the detectives, and their faces were better than any papers.

He was mainly surprised as to why Akechi Goro had suddenly appeared here.

Although, with the smell of the Tokyo media, they may only be able to suppress the news about the explosion for less than half an hour, but something was seen through so quickly......

"Good afternoon, Officer Twilight, Mr. Mori." Raising his hand with a smile to say hello, Hoshikawa Hui stood beside them, looked left and right at the chaotic command room, and the smile on his face deepened slightly, "I happened to be here to take a train, and suddenly I heard the announcement about the railway stopping operation due to a breakdown, but I saw the police on the train...... Well, let me guess, bombs? ”

Twilight Thirteen looked at his calm expression, lifted the brim of his hat, and said helplessly, "Is it obvious?" That probably won't be hiding from those reporters for long. ”

"When I came up, there were already people carrying cameras downstairs entering the station, and I didn't notice which TV station it was." Hoshikawa nodded and said euphemistically, "You'd better arrange for someone to handwrite a release of information that can be made public and prepare for the press conference." ”

He really didn't have a chance to see these things with his own eyes, but with Noah, an electronic ghost who can easily hack into cameras, he now knows more about the situation up and down the Dongdu Railway Terminal than the police.

After receiving the notice from the police, the Dongdu Railway emptied all the trains in motion as quickly as possible, arranged for the police officers who arrived at the scene to board the train, and after a simple adjustment of personnel, continued to arrange for the driver to depart.

There is no way, there is a demand for the speed of the train in the threat of the prisoners, and if the operation is stopped directly, the bomb will be detonated as soon as it arrives at 4 o'clock, and the damage caused is immeasurable.

With the current capacity of the Ring Line, coupled with the location of the Ring Line itself, the absence of passengers on the train does not mean that the bomb will not threaten the lives of others.

After all, the prisoner's words are unknown, and it is unknown where the bomb is located or whether it will simply be planted in the station of the circle line.

Dozens of kilometers along the line, they now only have 2 hours to be able to deal with, which is extremely difficult.

"Those dog-nosed guys." Twilight Thirteen sighed helplessly, looked at Mori Kogoro who was meditating and looking at the surveillance screen in front of him, and then at Akechi Goro's face, and simply recounted the general story and what the prisoner said.

One detective is used, two detectives are also used, and now it's always right to collect a little more ingenuity.

Hoshikawa nodded calmly, assumed a thinking posture, lowered his eyes and pondered, but in fact focused entirely on the sound in his ears.

As for Teiji Moriya's plan, they have learned about it through various means, and the teammates who are preparing to "defuse the bomb", or rather, are preparing to "set off fireworks", have already taken to the track, just waiting for sunset to surprise Teiji Moriya, a self-righteous control freak.

The question now is not how to solve his puzzle, but how to say it and how much to say.

This has never been his area of expertise, he came to command the front line in a wise capacity, and the purpose was just to help Tang Ze intervene.

Holding a pack of potato chips paid for by elementary school students, Tang Ze, who was sitting outside the convenience store and waiting for the elementary school students who were discussing fiercely inside, replied in a low voice under the cover of potato chips.

After a moment of thought, Akechi Goro touched his chin and gave an answer: "I don't know where he put the bomb for the time being, but what is certain is that this person must have set up some devices along the tracks, which is almost certainly on the railroad tracks." ”

"What do you think? It's okay if it's a guess, let's talk about it. Twilight Thirteen's eyes lit up and hurriedly asked.

"The time and speed given by the prisoner are very precise, too precise. Of course, it's easy to do this when it comes to starting at 4 o'clock, and this prisoner, to listen to your description, is also good at using remote control to control bombs. Akechi raised his hand and pointed to the train that had closed the gates again and started as the time approached 4 o'clock, "But as for the speed, this is not a problem that can be solved by remote control. ”

"You mean, he set up some measurements?" After thinking about it for a long time, Maori Kogoro, whose brain was still in chaos, seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, whether it is a speedometer or any other device, unless it is done directly on the engine and console of the vehicle, the method of accurately determining the speed of the train must be set up outside the train. It was too difficult to install the device on the console, but the railway had to check it regularly every day. After organizing the language to convey Tang Ze's key points, Hoshikawa Hui, who realized that he had said a lot of words, let out a sigh.

Even if he is accustomed to playing the role of Akechigoro, it is difficult for him to like the social thing itself, or to talk to people he doesn't know so well, which in itself is challenging his weakness.

A few months ago, he probably never imagined that he would be able to get used to maintaining such a role, and even gradually learned how to speak in such a formal tone.

How did Tang Ze do it, and how did he do it...... It's a little scary when you think about it.

"You have a point...... interpreting the exhalation of the young man beside him as a feeling of pressure to make a big decision, and Twilight Thirteen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be too stressed, even if the bomb doesn't defuse in the end, it won't be your problem." ”

"Isn't that what a detective does?" Although he didn't understand what the chubby police officer next to him suddenly sighed, Hoshikawa Hui still habitually took out the usual way of shouting slogans, and took advantage of the situation to catch his words, "If there is no problem in terms of manpower, I suggest that you better arrange someone to check the track situation between the stations now." As long as it can prevent the device itself from taking effect, then it means the same as preventing the bomb from being triggered. ”

"Well, it's a way to do it." Twilight Thirteen nodded, and stepped forward to communicate with the person in charge of the command room.

Hoshikawa Hui stood in place, looking at the maintenance personnel who began to appear on the track one after another with the stationmaster's instructions, and tapped the back plate of the mobile phone twice with his fingertips.

Okay, now that the track is full of people, you can inform Noah that you don't need to keep the picture edited.

Two people dressed in black, mixed in the maintenance team scattered all over the track, will not be conspicuous at all.

————

"At present, the time is close to half past four, and you can see that the entire line of the Dongdu Ring Line below has been 30 minutes, and there are no vehicles stopping at the ......."

Gathered in front of the TV set in the convenience store, several elementary school students looked nervously at the aerial perspective in the picture.

Looking down from above, the gray-black trains in both directions, like insects connected from head to tail, are densely packed and shuttle one after another.

"Damn, are we going to just watch like that? We're detectives too, so how can we sit back and wait? Indignant Kojima Motota smashed the table at hand.

"Officer Twilight refused to take us with him, and we were also important witnesses who provided key clues!" Ayumi Yoshida clenched her small fists, also very indignant.

"Otherwise, it's impossible for the police to let other people board the train at this time......" Glancing at a few elementary school students who had awakened their hearts as heroes, "You guys are quiet, the bomb has not yet been announced to the public, and now it will cause panic." ”

"It's okay, right? Anyway, even if they do, they will say something like 'kid nonsense', 'prank' or something. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who had been accustomed to similar reasons, sighed oldly, "It's so troublesome to be a child, everyone doesn't look at us at all." ”

Who's to say it isn't?

Conan shook his head, staring at the live broadcast on the TV, constantly thinking about the sunset and the speed of travel.

Maybe it's confirmed that it's Shinichi Kudo standing on the other side.,This prisoner's mood is obviously higher than at the beginning.,After giving the puzzle, he didn't even release the hint.,It's like "I want to test you".

With this prisoner's pretentious style, he would not be willing to accept his threat as a bomber's shout, and in his field of vision, he might feel that he was still fighting a decisive battle for the peak of intelligence or something.

Then, in his opinion, the information he has given so far is enough for the detective to guess where the bomb was planted without being there.

Let me think......

Tang Ze, who was sitting outside the convenience store, looked down at the time on his phone, stuffed the last fries into his mouth, and said vaguely to the earphones with it in his mouth: "It's almost time, the detective is about to solve the problem." Are the fireworks set off, everybody? It's time to get ready to make an appearance. ”
