After the bomb exploded, Shiraishi put away his gun and originally planned to rush back to the main body.
But before leaving, he checked the taskbar and found that the task did not show completed, but the title was refreshed.
Now, it has become a series of tasks with a progress of 1/4 - after rescuing the naughty kid who is trying to die every day, the progress bar is a quarter full, and there are still three quarters left.
The rewards for this kind of complete set of tasks are generally very good.
Although Shiraishi was not worried about the main body, he thought that Haibara Ai would be with the main body and she would help take care of it, so he was not in a hurry to go back.
Otherwise, if you think about it again, you still don’t know how long it will take. If you miss the clue, you will suffer huge losses.
The remaining tasks are not clearly stated in the taskbar.
Shiraishi looked around for a moment and soon saw Conan who had just arrived in the park.
Although I didn’t know what was going on, I was sure to follow this semi-automatic task issuing machine.
He transformed into a cat form and took advantage of the chaos to sneak up to the young detective team and get an overview of what had just happened.
When Conan left, Shiraishi jumped up and rubbed his skateboard. This thing could run faster than a car in the city, so there was no need to worry about losing Conan.
On the way, Conan did not forget to contact Dr. A Li and the police.
After being honked and scolded countless times, Conan finally rushed to Mihua Station against the rules.
He glanced at his watch and saw that there were still about eight minutes left before the explosion time mentioned by the criminal.
The square in front of the station is very small, covering an area of only one to two hundred square meters. There is a fountain pool in the middle of the square, and there are many benches around it for tourists to rest. A few trees are planted here and there in the corners.
Conan arrived at the place, put down the cat and picked up the skateboard. Following Teiji Moritani's prompt of "under the tree", he went straight to the tree, but found nothing.
Conan stopped without finding anything and suddenly remembered something.
He turned around and looked at the cat who was looking around in the square and carefully combing its fur. When he saw that the cat had no intention of sniffing, he sighed immediately.
...At times like this, it would be nice if the fox was here. He remembered that the fox had sniffed out the location of the bomb on the Shinkansen before. It seemed that the fox was better at finding bombs.
Black Cat should also know this, so...why did he only send one cat here?
Could the fox have other uses, such as tracking down other lost explosives?
No, wait...
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly remembered that he found the cat after the skateboard had traveled a certain distance.
Perhaps the truth is that when in the park, the fox also wanted to hitchhike like the cat, but it didn't have time to jump on the skateboard...
Conan looked back at the fox's quiet, docile and chirping appearance, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have seen through the truth.
...If I had known this, I should have looked at the ground before leaving.
Now there are only a few minutes left, and it's too late to go back and look for it.
Conan regretted it very much.
But now that the matter has come to this, we can only try our best to find clues.
He planned to find a high point for overall observation.
While looking for a high point, Conan accidentally saw the black cat stopping in front of a bench, and then it peeked under the bench.
Sitting on that bench was a young couple.
Conan walked over in confusion and saw a bag placed under the bench. This should be the luggage of the lovers.
If you look closely, you can see a beautiful little white cat in the bag.
The white cat rubbed against the mesh door, and looked outside with warm aqua blue eyes. After looking for a while, it gave the black cat a cute and endless "meow~" sound.
The tip of the black cat's ears twitched and he took another step towards the cat bag.
"..." Two black lines slid down Conan's forehead, and he reached out to pick up the black cat, which seemed to be bewildered by its beauty.
But just as he moved his hand, the black cat suddenly stepped forward amidst the screams of the couple and hooked the cage door.
Conan was startled, and while risking being scratched by catching the cat, he smiled dryly and apologized to the couple who was hiding next to him: "The cat has been bored for too long and wants to find a companion to play with. I'm sorry."
"Companion? Is there a cat in that bag?" The girl held down her long skirt curiously, squatted down, and looked under the bench.
Conan was startled and turned to look at her: "That's not your bag!?"
The couple were startled by his serious tone. They looked at each other for a moment and shook their heads: "When we came, the bag was already there."
Conan's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Mao Bao.
Just now, he actually saw this bag.
But according to experience, timed explosives dropped by criminals in public places are usually packed in ownerless bags.
Someone had been sitting on this bench before, and considering that many people would put large luggage under the bench in order not to trip others while waiting for the bus, Conan thought that the bag belonged to its owner. From the beginning,
I didn't take it into consideration.
Now when he suddenly heard the "owner" of the bag say this, Conan couldn't sit still.
He carefully climbed under the bench and looked at the bag. He saw a note attached to the bag that read:
"Please kindly take it away."
Moritani Teiji's warning of "If you don't hurry up, someone else will take it away" immediately appeared in Conan's mind, and the cat bag's suspiciousness increased again.
Conan subconsciously glanced at the black cat who first noticed the cat bag, and found that the cat was also looking at him. There was very obvious contempt in its dark golden pupils, as if it was stamping Conan with a "yellow waste" stamp.
"..." Conan found that he was being stared at by a cat and felt guilty.
At the same time, he finally figured out the secret code given by the mysterious man:
"Under the tree" generally refers to the roots of the tree, nekonn.
This is very similar to the pronunciation of cat, neko.
And even the cat reacted the same way...it's unmistakable, the bomb is definitely right here!
Conan carefully took out the box and opened the cage door.
The white cat walked out of it, stretched out on the ground, and was about to stick it to the black cat when it was suddenly picked up by a pair of hands stretched out from the side. The couple happened to want to adopt a cat and saw the message on the bag.
The two happily took the cat away.
Conan opened the bag cover, looked inside, and found a simple time bomb tightly fixed with tape at the bottom of the bag, with a countdown of 6 minutes and 32 seconds on it.
The remaining time is not too little. Conan learned about bomb disposal in Hawaii and feels that this bomb is not difficult to defuse.
He breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the convenience store across the street, intending to buy a pair of scissors.
The citizens of Mihua are simple and honest. Although there are many murders, things like bag theft and snatching are not too common. Conan left with peace of mind.
Bai Shi looked at his back, then moved to the mouth of the bag and took a look inside.
Under normal circumstances, if the bomb maker is determined to explode, the bomb will be very difficult to defuse. It is easier to destroy or detonate it than to dismantle it.
But criminals in this world are surprisingly very principled.
At least, judging from the style and structure of the bomb in front of us, it seems that it was made for the purpose of being defused.
Shiraishi looked at the intricate wires for a while, then got into his bag and summoned the steel hook.
