Chapter 618: How much food did Karaze eat in total?
“After 4 o’clock today, if the train speed on the Toto Circle Line is less than 60 kilometers per hour, the bomb will detonate; If you fail to dismantle them before sunset, the bomb will also be detonated."
The Mumu Police Department, who frowned very tightly, finally couldn't help it when he heard this, and reached out to pick up Conan's mobile phone.
Anyway, the other party has determined that the owner of the mobile phone has entered the police station, so it becomes very reasonable for the police to continue the conversation.
"What are you planning to do when you do these things..."
This unfamiliar voice reached my ears, and the person on the other end of the call uttered a sneer that was still full of contempt even though the voice had been changed, as if he was very disdainful of the fact that "Kudo Shinichi" had found a "helper".
“It doesn’t matter if you call the police. Involving more people will only make your incompetence more exposed. I will announce to everyone after the victory that losing this bet killed everyone. It’s you.”
Not only refused to communicate, refused formal dialogue, and did not even put forward corresponding demands and blackmail targets, this is a determined madman.
Understanding that he had met the most difficult murderer this time, Mumu Shisan's face also became ugly.
Without room for negotiation, the police will lose most of the space in which they can operate.
And although the prisoner's logic is strong enough, he clearly installed the bomb with malicious intentions, and it was he who caused the explosion, but if he is like what he said, "the explosion was because the police and detectives were unable to solve his mystery in time" If this conclusion is made public, then a considerable number of people will indeed blame them for these problems.
This is the natural torture that one has to face in this profession and in this position. After all, their duty is to punish crimes and maintain order.
The man on the other side of the phone seemed very satisfied with the silence. After letting out a hearty laugh, he added the last sentence: "Okay, that's it. I have nothing more to say. It’s over.”
The phone was hung up, a busy tone was heard, and several people in the office looked at each other.
"Speaking of which, you said before that the prisoners misunderstood you as brother Kudo. What's going on?" Faced with this prisoner whose attitude was extremely arrogant, the Mugu Police Department, which was paying more and more attention to it, couldn't help but watch. He turned to the elementary school student and the old man who came with his mobile phone.
He remembered, didn't Kudo brother say he went abroad with his parents for some reason? Why didn't he even have his mobile phone number...
"Oh, this, this prisoner probably doesn't know Shinichi himself. " Dr. Agasa quickly glanced at Conan and Kitagawa Yusuke who was inexplicably involved, and explained bravely, "He was calling Shinichi's landline, and then we heard him talking about bombs, so we didn't dare to say that Shinichi was not here. , I just gave him a mobile phone number casually..."
"So, this young man brought here by Conan's children..." Megure Thirteen looked at the silent and silent man who had already eaten the police officers. Yusuke Kitagawa prepares cookies for three people for children.
“Oh, my voice sounds very loud when I hear it, and Conan’s voice sounds like a child. So Conan found a friend of the right age on the way to find the bomb...” Trying to be a good friend. Dr. Ali pushed up his glasses and said this with a guilty conscience.
"In any case, it is not appropriate to involve unsuspecting citizens." Megure Shisan glanced at Kitagawa again, who looked out of sorts, as if he did not realize what kind of danger he was facing today. Yusuke still disagrees with their behavior of deceiving ignorant high school students.
"Yes, yes, that's it..." Dr. Ali couldn't say anything, so he could only wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded.
“Thank you for bringing a stranger with you, you were able to fool the prisoner.” Megure Thirteen shook his head and muttered in a low voice, “Fortunately, the prisoner doesn’t know Brother Kudo.”
Dr. A Li laughed a few times, glanced at Conan who also had an embarrassed expression, wiped his smooth forehead, and did not dare to say any more.
There was no way, they couldn't make Conan answer the phone with his voice changer on. As a result, by a series of coincidences, the prisoner misunderstood Kudo Shinichi's arrival at the scene and explained clearly, so they could only let it go. The police were mistaken.
After talking about the unruly grandfather and children, the Memu Police Department, who was almost used to it to some extent, turned his head and began to arrange the next work.
"Takagi, please inform the Dongdu Railway's command center about the bomb situation and ask them to clear all operating trains as much as possible. After 4 o'clock, the operating speed of the entire line cannot be lower than 60 kilometers per hour!"
< br>"Yes!"
"Sato, contact the explosive ordnance disposal squad. Before 4 o'clock, all trains in operation on the circular line must have professionals on board to screen for bombs!"
"...Yes!"
"Shiratori, please take two people to retrieve the files related to Brother Kudo and do a simple interpersonal screening."
"Yes!"
"I'll inform Brother Maori, and then go directly to the command room of Dongdu Railway to communicate directly with the explosive ordnance disposal personnel."
After giving the instructions, he straightened his hat. , Mu Mu Thirteen was ready to leave the police station and rush to the Dongdu Railway Headquarters.
"...Then, what about us?" He thought he had provided a key clue, but in the end, several members of the Young Detective Team who had listened helplessly for a long time without even mentioning a word looked at him coldly. Ruthless back.
"You..." Mumu Shisan looked back and waved to the police officers in the office, "Bring them some more biscuits."
After working so hard to provide evidence for so long, some biscuits were mixed in and eaten up by high school students who had no self-awareness. The children were indeed a little pitiful.
“Ah——?”
————
“Chengshi, the action has begun over there.”
“Has it finally started? ?" Naomi Asai, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, moved his slightly stiff hands and feet, and adjusted the headset in his ears, "Let's go then."
"You haven't been a doctor for so long, do you still have a steady hand?" the female voice in the earpiece teased.
"I was not a surgeon before, right? But I can still do basic surgical operations." Asai Naomi pulled up the mask, completely hiding her face in the black mask, and took advantage of the train to enter the station. In the chaotic scene of evacuating passengers, they easily passed through the warning tape and walked into the maintenance channel.
“Check the direction again and don’t let your shadow cover the railway tracks.” Miyano Akemi looked at the window in front and emphasized, “When the bomb is detonated, rush to Moritani Emperor as quickly as possible. The palace of the second. Our time is also limited.”
The palace based on the entire West Tama City covers a huge area. Even with their current strategy, they want to break through the entire central axis as quickly as possible. , the difficulty is still very high.
And they only have one day today.
"Don't worry, we won't miss." Shimabukuro Kimie's energetic voice came, "Please worry about Noah!"
"Leave it to me. The locations of the five bombs have been confirmed. . Go forward, the circular line train will keep running at 70 yards, and you will only have 3 minutes to operate between the two cars. "
Miyano Akemi switched a few. From the surveillance angle, watching the two companions who were good at disguise complete the infiltration work, they dialed the channel signal on the console.
"Xingchuan, it's your turn."
"Copy that."
After adjusting his hairstyle and hiding the miniature headset deeper into the cover of his hair, Hoshikawa Teru looked at the expressionless Akechi Goro in the mirror, calmly adjusted his clothes, and smiled with a warm and confident smile.
He walked out of the restroom, put away the maintenance sign in front of the door, quickly entered the station through the safe passage, crossed the entrance level that was blocked by the police, and walked towards the railway control room. "...Brother Akechi, why are you here."
Hearing the movement behind him, Memu Shisan turned his head and looked at Goro Akechi who walked in the door, a little surprised.
Not that I was surprised why he could walk in - these underage detectives wanted to enter the scene controlled by the criminal police, and their faces were better than any other documents.
He was mainly surprised why Goro Akechi suddenly appeared here.
Although with the sense of smell of the Tokyo media, they may only be able to suppress the news about the explosion for less than half an hour, but it was revealed so quickly...
" Officer Mu, Mr. Mori, good afternoon." He raised his hand and said hello with a smile. Xingchuan Hui stood beside them, looked around at the chaotic command room, and the smile on his face deepened slightly, "I happened to When I came here to take the train, I suddenly heard the announcement that the railway was out of service due to a malfunction, but I saw the police boarding the train... Well, let me guess, a bomb? "
Megure Shisan looked at him. With a calm expression on his face, he held up the brim of his hat and said helplessly: "Is it obvious? That may not be hidden from the reporters for long."
"When I came up, there were already people carrying them downstairs. The camera guy is coming in. I didn't notice which TV station it was from." Xingchuan Hui nodded and said tactfully, "You'd better arrange for someone to hand-write a press release that can be made public."
He really didn't have the chance to see these things with his own eyes because he had been staying in the bathroom, but with Noah, an electronic ghost who could easily hack into the camera, he now knew the situation at Dongdu Railway Terminal better than the police.
After being notified by the police, the Dongdu Railway was in a hurry for a short time. It cleared all the trains in motion as quickly as possible, arranged for the police officers who rushed to the scene to board the trains, and made simple adjustments. After that, continue to arrange for the driver to start the train.
There is no way. The threat from the prisoners requires the speed of the train. If the train is stopped directly, the bomb will be detonated at 4 o'clock, causing immeasurable losses.
Based on the current capacity of the Circular Line and the location of the Circular Line itself, the fact that there are no passengers on the train does not mean that bombs will not threaten the lives of others.
After all, the prisoner's words were vague. It was unknown where the bomb was, or whether it was simply placed in a station on the circular line.
They now only have 2 hours to deal with the dozens of kilometers along the route, which is extremely difficult.
"Those guys with dog noses." Megure Thirteen sighed helplessly, looking at Mouri Kogoro who was thinking hard and looking at the surveillance screen in front of him, and then looked at Akechi Goro's face, and simply He recounted the general story of what happened and what the prisoner said.
One detective is useful, and two detectives are also useful. It is always right to collect more intelligence now.
Xingchuan Hui nodded calmly, assumed a thinking posture, lowered his eyes in contemplation, but in fact, he completely focused on the sound in his ears.
About Moritani Teiji's plan, they have already learned about it through various means. The teammates who are seriously preparing to "defuse bombs", or in other words, prepare to "set off fireworks" are already on track. Wait for the sun to set and give Moritani Teiji, a self-righteous control freak, some surprises.
The question now is not how to answer his riddle, but how to say it and how much can be said.
This has never been his area of expertise. He came to the command line as a wise person, and his purpose was just to help Tang Ze.
Holding a bag of potato chips paid for by elementary school students, Karasawa was sitting outside the convenience store waiting for the elementary school students who were having a heated discussion inside to go out. He answered a few words in a low voice under the cover of the potato chips.
Then Megure Thirteen saw that after a moment of thinking, Goro Akechi touched his chin and gave an answer: "Although I don't know where he installed the bomb for the time being, I can be sure. Yes, this person should have installed some devices along the track, which is basically on the railway track. "
"What do you think? It doesn't matter if it's a guess. Let's see." Liang, asked quickly.
"The time and speed given by the prisoner are very accurate, too accurate. Of course, as for the 4 o'clock start, this is easy to do. From your description, this prisoner is also good at using remote control devices to control bombs." Goro Akechi He raised his hand and pointed at the train that closed the gate again and started to start as the time approached 4 o'clock. "But as for the speed, this is not a problem that remote control can solve."
"What do you mean? , He set up some measurement methods?" After thinking for a long time, his mind was still in confusion. Mouri Kogoro seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said hurriedly.
"Yes, whether it is a speedometer or other device, unless the vehicle's engine and control console are directly manipulated, the method to accurately confirm the vehicle speed must be set up outside the train. On the control console It is too difficult to install the device, and the railway needs to be inspected regularly every day." After organizing his words to convey Tangze's key points, Hoshikawa Hui, who felt that he had said a lot, let out a sigh of relief.
Even if he is accustomed to playing the role of Akechi Goro, it is difficult for him to like social interaction itself. In other words, having to use social rhetoric to talk to people he is not so familiar with is a challenge for him. Weakness.
A few months ago, he would never have imagined that he could get used to maintaining such a role, and even gradually learned how to speak in such a formal tone.
How did Tangze do it, and how did he do it... It's a bit scary when you think about it.
"What you said makes sense..." Interpreting the exhalation movement of the young man next to him as the feeling of pressure to make a major decision, Megure Thirteen patted his shoulder, "Don't be too loud. Pressure, even if the bomb fails to be defused in the end, it won't be your problem."
"Isn't that what detectives do?" Although I didn't understand what the fat police officer beside me suddenly felt. , Xingchuan Hui still habitually used his usual method of shouting slogans, and took advantage of his words, "If there is no problem with manpower, I suggest that you better arrange for people to check the track conditions between each station now. As long as it can prevent the device itself from taking effect, it is the same as preventing the bomb from being triggered."
"Well, it is indeed a method." Mumu Shisan nodded and stepped forward to talk to the person in charge of the command room. Communicate.
Xingchuan Hui stood there, watching the maintenance personnel who began to appear on the track one after another following the stationmaster's instructions, and tapped the back of the phone twice with his fingertips.
Okay, now that the track is full of people, it's time to inform Noah that there's no need to keep the scene clipped.
Two people dressed in black were among the maintenance teams scattered around the track, and they were not conspicuous at all.

“The time is now close to 4:30. Dear viewers, you can see that the entire Dongdu Circular Line below has been 30 minutes. There are no Any vehicle pulls over..."
Gathered in front of the TV in the convenience store, several elementary school students looked nervously at the aerial view of the screen.
Looking from top to bottom, the two-way gray-black trains look like insects connected head to tail, densely packed and constantly shuttling back and forth.
"Damn it, are we just going to watch like this? We are also detectives, how can we just sit back and wait for death?" The indignant Kojima Genta smashed the table at hand.
"Officer Megure refused to take us with him at all, even though we were also important witnesses who provided key clues!" Ayumi Yoshida clenched her fists, feeling very indignant.
"Otherwise, the police can't let other people board the train at this time..." He glanced sideways at the few primary school students who had regained their heroic hearts, "You guys, keep your voices down. The bomb hasn't been announced to the public yet, so saying it now will cause panic."
"It doesn't matter, right? Anyway, even if it were told, they would just say it was a 'kid's nonsense' or a 'prank'. ." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who was used to being criticized by similar reasons, sighed maturely, "It's so troublesome to be a child, and everyone doesn't take us seriously at all."
Who says it's not?
Conan shook his head, looking at the live broadcast on TV in trance, constantly thinking about the sunset and the driving speed.
Perhaps it was confirmed that the person standing opposite was Kudo Shinichi. The prisoner's mood was obviously higher than at the beginning. After giving the puzzle, he didn't even give out any hints. He said "I want to take the test." Test you" look.
With this prisoner's pretentious style, he will not be willing to accept his threat as just a bomber's cry. From his perspective, he may feel that he is still fighting for the pinnacle of intelligence or something. .
So, in his opinion, the information he has given so far is enough for the detective to deduce the location of the bomb without being present.
Let me think about it...
Sitting outside the convenience store, Karasawa looked down at the time on his phone, stuffed the last fries into his mouth, held it in his mouth and pointed vaguely at the earphones. Said: "It's almost time, the great detective is about to solve the problem. Have the fireworks been set off, everyone? It's time to prepare for the debut."
