"Conan-kun, you put on the infrared night vision goggles first. The lights in the elevator will be turned off soon... After opening the lid, there is a small photoelectric tube inside. You need to cut off the wire connecting the photoelectric tube first..."

In the earphones, the policeman's voice came intermittently, and it sounded like he was instructing the boy to defuse the bomb.

The middle-aged man sneered.

As expected, they are incompetent and despicable police officers who actually let children dismantle bombs. Are they commanding from a safe place?

As long as this recording is released afterwards, everyone will know the true face of the police who are greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to survive, they can even sacrifice children!

Haha, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will soon meet their strangers.

But that kid is so pitiful! But... if you want to be resentful, then resent the police officers who pushed you into this situation!

Ha ha ha ha……

The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh. He suppressed his voice and glanced at the time.

There are only ten minutes left before the time when the explosion is expected, and they are about to see that line of prompts! Yes, it is the most design part of it!

The middle-aged man waits expectantly...

"The next step is to finish... first cut off the yellow line of the LCD screen, then the white line of the mercury rod, and finally cut off the black line connecting the mobile phone, so that the bomb will not explode."

The middle-aged man's smile froze.

That paragraph should have appeared, but why didn’t the process of dismantling the bomb stop?

Did the child not tell the hint in order to survive?

This is not impossible...

But... normal people will hesitate when they see that sentence, right? They should at least take a look at what is written on it. If you are a child, it is normal to discuss it with an adult, right?

Could it be that the child was focused on defusing bombs and didn’t see the prompt?

Or... you're too young and don't know how to read?

………………

Takagi Wataru finished the bomb defusing process in accordance with the advice of the explosive ordnance disposal squad. He didn’t know whether he had completed the task of confusing the enemy, but there was no termination command coming from the phone, so he could only

Keep making it up——

"It's so dark up there, can't you see clearly? Conan, take your time, don't be afraid. I once had a senior who told me that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, which means that when facing important things, you must

Be calm and don't be anxious. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to fail. That senior of mine is really great, but it's a pity..."

Thinking of Date Hang who passed away in a car accident, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but feel depressed, saying: "...It's a pity that I am still ineffective until now. I think seniors will definitely be disappointed if they see me now..."

Knowing that there were no bombs above his head, Takagi Wataru relaxed a lot. He was sitting dejectedly on the floor of the elevator, talking so dry that his vocabulary was almost exhausted. Although he still remembered his mission,

I couldn't help but started thinking about it.

The excitement of having just entered the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and was still investigating the first class... that generous and generous senior who took great care of him... the life in the Metropolitan Police Department, and the one, two, and three tasks that he accidentally almost messed up.

…

At this time, many police colleagues who were still on the same page with him said: "..."

They looked at their immediate superiors and shrank their necks.

Although... they usually have a lot of objections to that kid Takagi, but that's mainly because everyone can see that Sato Miwako, the goddess recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department, is very fond of Takagi Wataru, so they are envious and jealous.

emotion.

Usually, people don't do things like bullying and adding insult to injury.

The main thing is...that kid is pitiful enough now.

The chubby Megure police officer also shrank his neck when he heard the manager Matsumoto next to him say in a cold voice: "Megure, your subordinates should teach you more! Young people need to be tempered to grow."

"Yes!" Memu Police Department said hurriedly, sighing softly in his heart.

Takagi Wataru's performance this time was remarkable. He originally had the opportunity to be promoted. But now that he has exposed himself like this, it would be good if he was not punished.

You know, when Takagi Wataru made mistakes in the past - for example, he almost let the prisoner escape, lost the police manual, pretended to be sick and asked for leave, etc., Megure Thirteen would naturally yell at him on the surface, but in fact, he was done with it.

, as long as he doesn't cause a big mess, he will always cover up for his subordinates.

But after today, Wataru Takagi's name will definitely be focused on by Manager Matsumoto, right? With this stern and serious character...

Officer Megure began to truly worry about Takagi Wataru.

You know, Shiratori Rensaburo is already a member of the police department, but Takagi Wataru is even in danger of being a two-level patrol director. Although Sato Miwako's choice depends on her own wishes, the Megure Police Department still hopes that she will be like their own daughter.

The same children can get a more reliable home.

A flash of surprise flashed in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's eyes.

He could feel that since Conan reported that Shadowcat's card was found at the bomb installation site, the tense and suffocating atmosphere in the entire Metropolitan Police Department had relaxed.

It's not that they are not serious about their work or have become lax and careless, that's not the case. Everyone's work is still as meticulous and serious, but you can't deceive people with that kind of emotional change.

Shadow Cat…

Silently reciting this name in his heart, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face was serious and intimidating as always.

………………………………

"The incident last time was really unlucky. I happened to be caught by the Memu Police Department... Although I just happened to solve a murder case, the ability to solve the case is not due to me alone...

"

The policeman's murmurs were still buzzing in his ears. The middle-aged man frowned irritably, wondering how there could be such a talkative man in the world.

Also, have the bombs been defused? Or did they know that they were eavesdropping, so they used other methods to communicate? It is also normal that if they are writing on paper, they cannot hear the sound...

Things exceeded his expectations to some extent. The middle-aged man felt vaguely uneasy and couldn't help biting his nails to calm himself down.

Something's wrong...something's wrong...

Suddenly, his movements stopped and his pupils suddenly dilated.

How long... had he not heard that boy's voice?

The faint uneasiness turned into a poisonous dragon in his heart. The middle-aged man looked at the time again, then looked at the tower in the distance, then pressed the button hard and made the fatal call.

He softly dubbed - "Bang!"

The man looked eagerly at the 3,326-meter-high steel tower, looking forward to the moment when he saw white light, flames, and thick smoke.

The wind blew quietly.

Nothing happened.

No... there are still some...

Jingle bells… jingle bells…

A familiar bell rang behind me.

He stiffened his body and turned his head inch by inch, and saw a man and a woman standing behind him. Both of them had blond hair and good looks. The woman's skin was white and shiny, and the man's skin was dark and deep. There was a man between them.

A little boy of six or seven years old.

What was ringing in the boy's hand was the mobile phone he used to detonate the bomb.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then ran away!

Toru Amuro rushed forward like a violent tiger.

"Bang!"

As if he was hit head-on by a truck, the man flew out and rolled around on the ground, but without even a moment's hesitation, he got up and continued running!

Several people followed closely, but the road was full of people watching the excitement, and there were even small vendors setting up stalls, so they didn't catch up for a while.

"Get away! Get away from me!"

He shouted with a ferocious face, and passers-by were so frightened that they fled away.

"Officer Sato!" came the boy's shout from behind: "Catch him! He is the bomber!"

So when the middle-aged man saw a bewildered policewoman in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, and he rushed over with a desperate look on his face. At the same time, he took out a pistol from his clothes!

You will die! If you fall into her hands, you will definitely die!

The middle-aged man didn't hesitate and immediately changed direction and saw the woman with flowing blond hair in a traffic police uniform.

……Oops!

As soon as this word appeared in his mind, a fist began to enlarge in front of his eyes——

"boom!"

The middle-aged man fell on his back, as if he had experienced the feeling of burying his face in minced onions, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.

"Don't move! You're under arrest!"

Miwako Sato suppressed him with all her strength and took out handcuffs at the same time. Toru Amuro and Chisuke Hagiwara also surrounded him.

"Everyone let go! I have a bomb on me!"

The man suddenly shouted, and the street was silent, and then there was an uproar!

"--bomb???"

The crowd who were originally watching the excitement was the first to panic. Many people's legs weakened and fell down, and then ran away on hands and feet.

Kitahara Sosuke helped a little girl who almost fell. The girl's parents quickly thanked her, then picked up their daughter and ran with the crowd. Someone ran onto the road, and the sound of vehicle horns rang out.

No one was strong enough to think that the man was bluffing. After all, it was true that there was an explosion in Tokyo Tower, and Conan's voice was heard by everyone before.

Kitahara Sosuke opened his palm, and in the palm of his hand was a pink plastic bead that was originally stained on the little girl's hairpin.
Chapter completed!
