Conan returned from the convenience store carrying his tools.
As soon as he arrived at the square, he saw at a glance that the cat was gone. When he looked carefully, he saw that the tip of a black tail was exposed from the cat bag containing a bomb.
...The cat actually got in.
Conan was shocked when he thought of the messy bomb wires in his bag and the cat's love of playing with balls of thread.
Although this cat in the Black Cat family often shows intelligence that exceeds that of ordinary cats, in the end... it is just a cat.
If it accidentally detonates the bomb while playing with the wires, or causes other irreparable consequences, such as the timer being unable to be removed...
Conan looked at the people coming and going in the square and broke into a cold sweat.
Under the bewildered gaze of passers-by, he yelled for them to get away, while he rushed back to the bomb bag as if he was dead, turned over the bag and poured the cat out.
Conan endured the beating from the cat and reluctantly looked at the bottom of the bag. He found that a wire had been broken, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
...The countdown on the LCD screen has also disappeared. I don’t know if it is because the screen was damaged by the cat and cannot be used.
Conan took a deep breath, calmed down, and while continuing to count down the explosion in his mind, he called on his explosive knowledge base, observed the circuit, and tried to remedy the situation.
A minute later, Conan was stunned while holding the scissors.
...The broken wire turned out to be the timer's power wire.
In other words, as long as it is not triggered deliberately, this time bomb has been defused.
Conan stared at the broken wire for two seconds.
After thinking about life for a while, he stiffly turned his head and looked at the black cat next to him, feeling that his world view had been refreshed again: "...you did it?"
The black cat patted the dirt on its body in a humane manner, glanced at him, and then looked away in disgust.
However, before he could pat it clean, his paw was suddenly pinched.
Shiraishi looked up in confusion and saw Conan grabbing the paw pad full of curiosity and pressing it down.
Conan looked at the cat's nails that were pressed out, then dragged the bomb package, and compared it with the break on the wire inside. It was probably because the impact was too great, and he started to reason to the cat:
"Impossible... Although your claws are very sharp, nails with this shape are not capable of cutting wires neatly. And how can you possibly know which one to cut? You... ugh!"
The cat stepped on his face with a faint cold light in its eyes.
…
Two minutes later, Conan straightened his crooked glasses, looking embarrassed with cat paw prints on his face, and finally came to his senses slowly.
He looked around to see if the human black cat was hiding around, but he couldn't find him. Instead, he saw a middle-aged man with a brown body.
The Mumu Police Department ran over with a group of subordinates and saw Conan at a glance. At the same time, they also saw the suspicious bag on the ground and immediately shouted: "Conan! Stay away from that bag and come over here!"
Conan's attention was finally diverted.
He stood up and looked at the Megu Police Department, secretly wiped the dirt off his face, and regained his calm detective look: "It doesn't matter, the bomb has basically been defused."
The eyes are full of doubts.
After the explosive ordnance disposal team inspected the bomb, he discovered that it was indeed the same as Conan said.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt something was wrong, so he brought it up again and looked at Conan in shock: "Did you dismantle it yourself?"
"No, when I went to the convenience store to buy scissors, I left for a while. When I come back..." Conan said this and unconsciously looked at the cat next to him.
So a group of policemen around him followed him and started looking at the cat.
Mu Mu glanced at it, vaguely feeling that the cat looked familiar, but there were so many stray cats on the street and there were so many murders in the city that he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
After watching for a while, the police officers heard the first-grade child next to them say: "When I came back, I saw it was in the bag and the power cord was cut."
"..."
Although Conan did not clearly state the conclusion, the police officers understood what he meant and laughed: "The children have such rich imaginations that they actually believe that cats can defuse bombs."
Listening to this not malicious ridicule, Conan's pupils turned into dead fish eyes again.
He actually didn't want to believe it either.
But considering this cat's past performance...who wouldn't believe it?
Officer Sato has always felt that Conan is so powerful and calm that he doesn't look like a child.
At this moment, she felt that the elementary school students were still elementary school students.
Sato smiled and touched Conan's head: "You occasionally act like a normal child, but this time, it was probably when you were going to the convenience store that someone passed by and defused the bomb, and then left."
Although it is incredible that a passerby who acts out of thin air and happens to be able to defuse bombs appears out of nowhere, it is more realistic than believing that a cat defuses bombs.
After saving Conan's world view, Officer Sato knelt down again and tentatively scratched the black cat's chin.
Originally, looking at the marks on Conan's face where he had been beaten by the cat, she was worried that the witness cat was quite vicious.
However, unexpectedly, the black cat neither scratched nor ran away. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the cat cooperatively put its chin on her hand and rubbed its paws on her clean cuffs. It looked very well-behaved.
friendly.
For such a cute cat to start a fight with Conan, Conan must be the first to strike.
No matter how clever you are, you are still a naughty kid.
Sato thought about this and suddenly felt sorry for the cat. She picked up the cat and looked at Conan who had complicated eyes next to her:
"There are more and more people watching. Come on, follow us back to the office first."
…
After defusing the bomb at Mihua Station, Moritani Teiji did not contact Kudo Shinichi for the time being.
Conan took the opportunity to communicate with the police the information he currently knew.
Shiraishi continued to work on tasks next to Conan. The progress bar was now half full, which made him feel very comfortable.
The only regret is that I won’t be able to go to Osaka smoothly today. Haibara Ai will definitely not be able to move him, so he will have to ride the train with his body all afternoon...
…
Based on the information provided by Conan, the police quickly found the camera near Jinchuan Greenland Park.
This camera was located closer to the corner and failed to capture the suspicious person seen by the Junior Detective Team.
However, as Conan looked at it, he suddenly felt that there was a person in the picture who looked very familiar.
He shouted stop, asked the police officer to step back for a few seconds, turned on slow playback, and finally saw a fleeting figure in the corner.
The man had curly hair, wore a mask and a black hoodie, and walked toward the park from the river embankment like a passerby.
...In fact, strictly speaking, he is indeed a passerby.
But based on various encounters and experiences in the past, Conan always felt that he had found the culprit.
