"What are the results?" Looking up at the busy command room in front of him, seeing Twilight Thirteen walking over with a serious and deep expression after answering the phone, Hoshikawa asked out loud.

"You're half right, wise man. They checked the train as fast as they could, and as you might have guessed, there were no bomb items on the train. Twilight Thirteen glanced at the time and emphatically said, "It's almost time, if I can't think of a way, you two, I'll have to prepare a press release to inform the media......

Just then, his phone was dialed again.

"Hey, oh, Brother Kudo! Do you have any ideas! Hearing the voice she hadn't heard for a long time, Twilight Thirteen couldn't help but raise her voice, a little excited.

With Kudo's character, if he hadn't found a definite answer to the problem, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to make this call!

————

Hiding in a public phone booth and keeping an eye on his classmates, Conan spoke across the receiver.

A few elementary school students who were persuaded by him to temporarily give up their strange heroic thinking were standing outside the convenience store, studying something in a low voice around Yusuke Kitagawa who was sleeping in a coat.

Siam lay in the crook of Kitagawa Yusuke's arm, lazily turned over, ignoring the gestures, and surrounded the children who were making trouble with him, and his temper was surprisingly good.

Should I say that I am fortunate to have Yusuke Kitagawa here today? Conan suddenly felt a sense of relief that he had used a canned cat or something to immobilize all the disobedient kittens.

"If the train is traveling at a speed of less than 60 kilometers, the bomb will be detonated, and at the same time, if the sun sets, the bomb will be detonated...... The similarity between the two conditions is actually light. Retracting his distracted gaze, Conan gave his thoughts.

"Light? You mean, the murderer's design has a certain relationship with light? Twilight Thirteen, whose eyebrows jumped twice, couldn't help but glance at Akechi Goro, who was standing aside.

Teru Hoshikawa, who was standing with everyone, listened to the voice of the other side of the phone call, and felt unclear about his gaze, but he still followed the rules of playing Akechi Goro, and showed a standard smile.

There was a sense of abruptness and confidence in his smile, and Twilight Thirteen was also a little emotional.

It was also around the time when the scattered manpower began to race against time to inspect the track line, and Zhizhi also put forward a similar hypothesis, to the effect that, just like the principle commonly used by speed measuring instruments on the road, the mechanism designed by the murderer is likely to have a function similar to "infrared", so I hope that the inspectors try not to get too close to the railroad tracks or the pipe network on both sides, so as not to hide the shadow of the inspector and accidentally touch the bomb or something.

The two young people's ideas coincide, and they are indeed the detectives who have made a name for themselves in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and they are shining young people.

"Yes. In my opinion, the bomb must have been planted between the tracks of the loop, a time bomb that had been activated and automatically had a little more than 12 seconds. Conan said firmly, "The murderer designed a light-sensitive switch for the bomb in advance as a condition for the countdown to start calculating. ”

Flipping through the page with a simple equation written in his hand, Conan described the calculation process, and then gave his own calculation results.

"The length of a single carriage of the train on the Dongdu Ring Line is about 20 meters, and the whole train data is about 200 meters, so as long as the vehicle cannot pass the same position within 12 seconds, it means that the speed of the train has been lower than 60 kilometers per hour, and the countdown will be completed, and on the contrary, as long as the vehicle passes and the light resumes, the countdown will be terminated and reset......"

"So, the so-called detonation after the sun sets, is because after the sun sets, the mechanism that loses its light will activate itself and then explode?" Twilight Thirteen, who reacted, squeezed her phone tightly, a little excited.

"Yes. I've already checked, it's a sunny day in the Tokyo area today, the sunset time is 18:06, and you still have 1 hour to go, Officer Dusk. Conan, whose reasoning was approved, was relieved and leaned against the glass door of the telephone booth behind him, "So, as long as the trains sailing on the loop line are allowed to enter or divert at once, leave the tracks of the entire loop, and then screen out the location of the bomb in time to deal with it, the damage can be minimized." ”

"I see." Hanging up the phone, Twilight 13 looked at the person in charge of the railway administration standing in front of him, "Director Sakata, you heard that too." ”

"Okay, I got it." Nodding, the director took a few steps forward, completely took over the control of the command center, and began to arrange for the vehicles that were still in motion to be diverted and enter the station, "Car 11, transfer to the freight train line at Shibahama Station in 3 minutes!" Vehicles on the emergency evacuation cargo line ......"

Seeing this, Akechi Goro raised his hand and applauded gently: "Is this the famous Kudo Shinichi?" The easy chair detective, who is thousands of miles away, can also do it so well, amazing. ”

Kogoro Maori, who heard a faint sarcasm from his phrase "easy chair detective", turned his head and glanced at the other party in surprise.

"This case is indeed because of that kid, but this should be, you can't call it an easy chair detective, anyway, he ...... Well? Wrong. Speaking of this, Maori Kogoro frowned, "If the others are not in Tokyo, then who is Xiaolan going out to watch a movie?" ”

————

"After all, Xiaolan, you're not sure if Kudo will come tonight, so you bought two tickets with such confidence." Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting opposite Mao Lilan, looked at her best friend who was dressed up and had a solemn face, and pouted her lips with a sense of taste, "He didn't give a clear answer to whether you could come or not." ”

For an important day, especially the other party's birthday, dress up so carefully, and finally if you are released pigeons, how can you think about it?

I really hope that reasoning maniac can take a good look at Xiaolan's current appearance.

"I just think that his birthday is also a very important date, and I think he should give me an answer even if he can't come to see me." Warming his hands with the hot drink in his palm, Mao Lilan stroked the brand-new bright red jacket on his body, and smiled at Suzuki Sonoko's eyes, "Even if he really can't come to see me for the time being, it's good to have a definite deadline." ”

"You're right, it feels like I haven't seen him for a long time." Estimating the last time he saw Shinichi Kudo, Suzuki Sonoko was speechless, "It's too much not to even say hello to us." ”

"Yes, waiting indefinitely is really going to be very draining of patience." Rubbing the smooth rim of the cup, Maoliran shook his head, "I hope I can wait for an answer this time." ”

"That's you, if I was so unremarkable, I didn't see anyone on the phone, I would have dumped him a long time ago." Sonoko Suzuki said, waving her hand heroically.

"Well, even if the other party is a handsome guy, it's the same?" Mao Lilan couldn't help but ridicule when he heard this.

"Handsome guy, you have to see what kind of handsome guy you look like. And if you don't love my handsome guy, I won't stick to others. Suzuki Sonoko spread her hands, "I want to talk about a sweet relationship, and I don't just want to see a handsome face." If I just look at my face, I watch movies and TV as well, right? ”

"Your thoughts are surprisingly clear......"

"I've always thought about it, huh?"

"But the premise is that it has to start with appearance, right?"

"Of course...... Well? ”

With a grin as she brought a spoonful of cake to her lips, Suzuki felt something bright red flicker in the corner of her vision.

She turned her head and looked in the direction the movement was coming from.

They are now seated in the booths of the afternoon tea restaurant, seven floors tall enough for them to have an unobstructed view of the street below, including the JR station that is supposed to be above the road, and the train line that crosses the road.

The flickering thing was in that direction, and she looked over and saw the orange-red detonating light, and the smoke and dust that was raised in an instant.

"What's going on, did it explode?!" For a moment, thinking of the news that had been playing on the TV in the restaurant, Sonoko Suzuki tensed up and moved her body slightly away from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

She said that the closure of the closed line at the good end is basically impossible to escape any explosions, threats, attacks and other incidents.

If there is a slight mishandling by the police and there is an explosion......

Although she was a little away from the railroad bridge, she instinctively wanted to stay as far away as possible from the source of the explosion, for fear of the impact of the shockwave.

"It's not like an explosion." Attention was also drawn to Maolilan, who carefully observed the position below for a while, and said hesitantly, "Gray smoke...... More like fireworks? ”

The next moment, as if to confirm her words, a shining point of light rose from the center of the explosion and exploded violently against the bright red background of the dusk.

"Special effects fireworks?" Sonoko Suzuki, who was relaxed again, fixed her eyes for a while, "It seems to be an English word?" know？ ”

At the same time, not only the two female high school students who sat in the cafeteria and witnessed this scene, but also the police officers who were trying to solve the problem before the explosion occurred, and the media, who were still taking aerial photos and tracking the progress of the entire incident, all noticed this scene for the first time.

The reporter who was wearing soundproof headphones and was by the helicopter door instantly became excited, and his tone suddenly went up two octaves: "Audience friends, have you seen it!" A new situation just happened! There was an explosion on the track of the Eastern Capital Ring Line, no, it should not be said to be an explosion, it should be said, it was a slightly peculiar fireworks. Our footage faithfully captures this scene, so let's take a closer look! ”

In line with his impassioned commentary, the photographer next to him cooperatively changed the focal length, trying to zoom in on the gray-white smoke that had not yet dispersed in the lens.

"Oh! We seem to see something! It's—"

"Drip-"

Black Feather Kaito pressed the standby button on the remote control, threw it aside with a bored expression, and imitated the voice of the reporter on the TV, and automatically and consciously filled up the part he didn't listen to: "-'Teaser letter from the Monster of the Heart'!" Well, I told them that if you fill that stuff with gunpowder, it will only be part of the explosion. As a result, the guy actually said, 'That's why I came to ask you what kind of material are the playing cards made of?' ’”

Seeing that line of words, Black Feather Kuaidou, who had already made up the other party's natural expression, couldn't help but roll his eyes again.

He's a ritual-minded and visual-minded rogue, but that's because he's still a magician at heart, including his predecessor Kidd, his father.

And the gorgeous sound and light effects of the magic, the danger is left to the performers themselves, these guys who are essentially robbers......

"It's all made of special materials to make a teaser letter, and then stuffed into the explosives bag, that's no different from a fragmentation grenade?!" The poker gun in his hand did have a certain lethality, and Black Feather Kaito couldn't help but raise his voice, "Isn't it possible to use other methods, such as spraying a logo next to it or something, you have to use this method to ......"

"Young master, spraying paint on the railroad tracks should be more expensive for the railway than cleaning up some advance letters." Konosuke Terai, who placed tea on the table in front of him, gently reminded, "They were careful when they detonated it, and they only ignited it when there were no people nearby." ”

"But if you do this, the cost itself will be higher......" Remembering the extravagant and wasteful style of these people, the strange thieves who could only get in and out of the funds picked up the teacup and let out a sad sigh, "Where did they get so much money." ”

"Selling them special paper raw materials, we didn't lose money, young master." Terai Huangnosuke reminded again.

"Hey......" picked up the gray-black crystal from his hand, and once again used a magnifying glass to get closer to observe, Black Feather Kuaidou sighed, and his momentum fell down again, "Anyway, I hope it doesn't hit me." ”

Although he felt that the police should not connect them at will, and he had hardly left any special playing cards as evidence, as long as he thought that when he used the poker gun in the future, maybe one day the police would find out about his connection with the Monster of the Heart Bandits......

Again, I really can't afford to lose this person.

"Hurry up and improve the formula, please that friend of yours, Grandpa Terai!"

————

"Monster of the Heart?" With an almost eerie shout, Conan covered his mouth to make sure that no one was aware of his movements before re-raising the receiver of the public phone booth.

"The email has been sent to Brother Kudo." When the matter came, Twilight Thirteen, who had been killed, also had a headache, "We found a bomb that was defused in advance at the scene, and, uh, about 200 Hearts Monster Thieves Notices at each location. ”

Why is it not a surprise at all?

Conan, who finally remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, pressed his temple.

Such a big thing happened, and I didn't even send a word to Joker, which is not lacking in wanting to order him.

He was so engrossed in the bombing threat case against himself that he almost forgot that even if he didn't inform him, he had a locator on him.

It seems that his failure to communicate the progress of the case to the other party in a timely manner this time still provoked these strange thieves a little, so that they also unilaterally did not notify themselves and intervened in the case forcefully.

Even if he didn't solve the puzzle, it would only be 5 mischievous proclamations that would explode, and he challenged the prisoner who was originally coming at him with an absolutely provocative attitude.

Theoretically, he should thank them well, even if he didn't ventilate beforehand, this action was to share the pressure for him, but when Joker's narrow smile flashed in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel another pain in his head and pressed his temples again.

Twilight Thirteen, who didn't know how complicated the person on the other side of the phone was, explained, "They were supposed to light five special custom fireworks, in the order of the ring lines, five words in order - 'We know who you are'. Well, that sounds like a prisoner. ”

"If the Monster Thieves of the Heart are in charge, maybe they can really know who the prisoner is." Conan perked up for a moment, then quickly realized that this meant he was going to have to reach out to Joker, and his upswinging mood went down again.

Damn, this is simply forcing him to apologize for not telling his information first......

Hanging up the phone, Conan, who walked out of the phone booth, looked at Yusuke Kitagawa who was sketching next to him with a few elementary school students for a while, and walked over quickly: "I'm done calling, you can go, Mr. Kitagawa." ”

"You're done?" Yusuke Kitagawa, who had finished the final stroke, nodded, put Nekko, who had been sleeping soundly, on his shoulder, and gave a few cat sketches in his hand to a few children, and by the way, he didn't forget to praise the paintings in their hands, "All of them are very good." You're very talented. ”

"Really!"

"Wow, I didn't think I could be a painter too!"

Conan's gaze swept over the strangely shaped, barely recognizable beast-shaped paintings of the children's hands, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

These bear children are full of confidence enough, don't talk nonsense in order to coax the children, give them a little wrong confidence, I really don't know what it will develop into when I turn back.

"It's really interesting, I didn't understand the meaning of providing electronic payment channels on public phone booths before, but today I understand it." Yusuke Kitagawa looked down at the diminutive Conan, pushed the cat up, and sighed, "There are really people who make public calls with their mobile phones." ”

"Well, I accidentally took Shinichi's brother's phone, and I lost my phone to the doctor, and I can't help it......" Conan, who laughed awkwardly, explained reluctantly.

Kitagawa Yusuke nodded, as if he didn't plan to care about it, just patted the milk tea and white two-color cat hair on his black pants, and said calmly: "It's not early, I have to go back to the dormitory, if I don't move now, I may not be able to catch the school gate closed." ”

I'm really going to walk back to Kakuto from here......

Looking at him in shock for a moment, Conan thought of something, and moved his gaze to the cat on his shoulder again: "Then, the cat's words ......"

A high school student who has difficulty eating by himself has no conditions for raising a cat, not to mention that he still lives in the school dormitory, and he doesn't even have an independent personal residence.

"I'll leave it with my friend, and the school dormitory won't let me in." Stroking the cat's soft back, Yusuke Kitagawa laughed, "Don't worry, Nekko will be well taken care of." ”

Hearing the name again, I still feel that Conan is "......"
