Kurokawa Akio painstakingly nurtured a struggling amusement park back to precarious operation. On its opening day, Teitan Elementary School arrived for their spring outing, and a stream of words fl...
Chapter 112
The corner of Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched: "This kind of thing may not be hidden from the principal."
Amuro didn't understand what Edogawa Conan meant, so he lowered his eyes and said, "I know. I hope you can keep it a secret after you leave."
He exhaled and changed the subject: "I think you must be curious about Matsuda Jinpei."
Conan Edogawa nodded. "There's someone in the amusement park carrying an explosive tablet. That person has Officer Matsuda's business card on him."
Toru Amuro felt a little nostalgic when recalling the past. He told Conan Edogawa everything about what happened that day. It was the last real reunion of the four of them. He told him everything from the encounter with Pramia to the end.
After Edogawa Conan left, Amuro Toru hung up the phone. The metal collar around his neck was very noticeable. At this critical moment when they were about to target the boss of the Black Organization, he could only stay in the glass room.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel unwilling.
The old-fashioned elevator made a soft sound.
Toru Amuro looked up and saw Conan Edogawa who had returned, and his gaze finally fell on Akiwa Kurokawa who was beside him.
Toru Amuro: "..."
The smile on Edogawa Conan's face was a little awkward. He explained, "I didn't say that. The principal was at the elevator entrance when I left."
Let’s go back a few minutes.
As soon as Conan Edogawa left after getting the information, the elevator door opened and he keenly sensed a hint of danger. Then he saw the two police officers who had brought him here lying on the ground, their life or death unknown.
Conan Edogawa's heart tightened. Just as he was about to go forward to check, he noticed a familiar figure in the corner.
Kurokawa Akiwa was half hidden in the darkness, a gentle smile on his pretty face: "What a coincidence, Conan is here too?"
Edogawa Conan swallowed his saliva, feeling a chill down his spine at the smile.
It feels like I've just been caught saying something bad.
It's over, Mr. Amuro, the principal is here!
"Conan, who are you meeting here?" Kurokawa Akifumi asked patiently, the smile not showing in his eyes.
"Uh..." Edogawa Conan shrank his neck, his eyes fell on the two police officers lying on the ground. He felt that if he didn't say anything, he would be killed on the spot.
I just promised Mr. Amuro to keep it a secret, damn it!
Kurokawa Akifumi raised the corner of his lips, full of threats: "I'll give you one chance."
Conan Edogawa stumbled: "I didn't see anyone..."
Kurokawa Akiho raised his eyebrows and interrupted Edogawa Conan's attempt to conceal his words: "Think it through, you only have one chance."
Edogawa Conan took a deep breath.
I'm sorry, Mr. Amuro.
"Meet Mr. Amuro."
This headmaster is too fierce!
If I don't say it, I feel like I'll be killed.
Back to the present.
After hearing Conan Edogawa's narration, Toru Amuro fell into a brief silence.
Conan Edogawa was almost in tears, and Kurokawa Akifusa even threatened him to use his detective brain to crack the password of the elevator and the glass house.
Kurokawa Akishige's gaze passed through the glass house and landed on the metal collar around Amuro Toru's neck. He lowered his eyes slightly and said to Conan with a blank expression, "You can leave now, Conan."
Edogawa Conan looked at Amuro Toru with sympathy, and left quickly without staying for even a minute.
Good luck to you, Mr. Amuro.
After Edogawa Conan left, silence returned to the basement.
Amuro Toru sighed and looked at Kurokawa Akiho who looked expressionless. He picked up the walkie-talkie beside him.
Although he knew he would be found, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Kurokawa Akiho quietly looked at the glass between them, and he could feel the hardness and thickness of the glass when his fingers ran across it.
Even if an explosion occurs inside, this glass house will perfectly hide the explosion, and no movement on the ground will be detected.
And Toru Amuro will completely disappear from his life.
Kurokawa Akiho clenched his hands, took a deep breath, picked up the communicator and wanted to hear what the blond public security officer had to say about why he had concealed the truth from his friend but called Conan to provide clues.
If he hadn't happened to be with Conan, he would have been kept in the dark.
"Qiu She, you shouldn't be here."
With a "crack", Kurokawa Akiho felt that the string called rationality had broken.
Kurokawa Akisho suddenly hung up the communicator without listening to anything Amuro Toru said. He walked straight to the glass door, met Amuro Toru's gaze, and began to enter the password.
The password of the glass door was four digits, just as Edogawa Conan guessed. He pressed the four digits according to his calculations.
Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Akiho Kurokawa nervously.
Did he want to open the glass door?
“It’s too dangerous!”
According to the order of numbers that Edogawa Conan guessed incorrectly, a beeping sound will be heard when pressed.
The glass house has a very good sound insulation effect, and Kurokawa Akishige can only guess what Amuro Toru is saying from his mouth shape.
After a "beep" sound, the glass door opened.
Conan guessed the password correctly.
He can now talk face to face to Toru Amuro, who has a bomb planted in his neck.
Amuro Toru frowned and said, "Akira, you can't come in. If the bomb explodes, you will be in danger."
The public security officer who was rigged with a bomb was trying to persuade him to leave.
Kurokawa Akiwa stared into Amuro Toru's eyes expressionlessly and walked in step by step with determination.
"What about you?"
Amuro Toru clenched his palms: "Leave here."
"Hide here and wait for the bomb to explode?" Kurokawa Akiwa was almost laughing in anger. "Wait for you to die here alone, and in the end we won't know anything."
Amuro Toru opened his mouth, but eventually fell silent.
If the bomb cannot be defused, that will be his end.
Silence is the best affirmation.
Kurokawa Akiho clenched his palms, some emotions he couldn't control wanting to vent, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Have you ever considered that someone might worry about you?"
Amuro Toru's pupils contracted slightly.
Kurokawa Akiho felt a little depressed.
He didn't like the way Amuro Toru was now, as if it didn't matter if he was killed in the explosion alone. He didn't care about life, rejected his friends, and refused all worries and concerns.
All these made him very unhappy.
Amuro Toru sighed softly, his purple-gray eyes drooping: "It's best for me to stay here, so that no one will be affected when the bomb explodes."
Kurokawa Akiho clenched his fingers.
Even more unhappy.
"I won't leave until the bomb is defused."
Amuro Toru's face immediately showed disapproval: "It's very dangerous here."
Kurokawa Akiwa took a step forward, getting closer and closer to Amuro Toru: "I will stay here until the bomb is defused."
He grabbed Toru Amuro's hand to prevent Mr. Kouko from moving away from him.
The warm touch dispelled the fear in Kurokawa Akiho's heart. He tightened his palm and held it tightly against Amuro Toru's palm.
This isn't what friends do, but what does it matter?
He didn't want to be just friends with Toru Amuro.
"Akira Shige, the bomb is very uncertain. The danger will increase exponentially if you stay here for one more second." Amuro Toru's voice turned helpless.
Kurokawa Akishige stared into Amuro Toru's purple-gray eyes, his head leaning deflatedly against Amuro Toru's shoulder, his lips opening and closing as he murmured softly, "Why do you keep saying this? I still don't like you anymore."
His voice was very soft, and Amuro Toru vaguely heard it, and didn't like that he didn't miss any of the three characters.
Toru Amuro was slightly stunned, held his breath, and clenched Kurokawa Akishige's hand tightly.
…
"Tsk. Zero, don't move." Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara sat on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, holding tools in their hands and pointing them at the collar around Amuro Toru's neck.
Hagiwara Kenji had a headache after seeing this: "What kind of messed up bomb is this?"
"How did you dismantle the last bomb, Jinpei?" Hagiwara Kenji asked Matsuda Jinpei curiously.
Matsuda Jinpei recalled: "That bomb was also thanks to you, Hagi."
Hagiwara Kenji became even more confused: "Me?"
Matsuda Jinpei nodded. "Even after the timer went off, the bomb was still activated. I blocked the slot with chewing gum. The two liquids couldn't mix, so it naturally couldn't explode."
Kenji Hagiwara thought about it and thought it was indeed a good idea.
"But zero." Hagiwara Kenji said, unable to bear it any longer, "Can you please stop looking over there?"
Amuro Toru smiled and retracted his gaze from Kurokawa Akiwa: "Sorry."
Matsuda Jinpei followed Amuro Toru's line of sight and saw Kurokawa Akiwa. He was a little confused: "Why do you keep looking at that kid?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "...Zhenping, you should just focus on defusing the bomb."
Toru Amuro: "..."
The collar's circuitry is extremely complex; if anything goes wrong in one place, the substances in the liquid tank will collide and cause a fatal explosion.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara put their minds to the task and focused on solving the bomb in front of them.
Amuro Toru: "Can I keep the remote control of the bomb?"
Matsuda Jinpei nodded: "Of course, I will help you take the collar apart first, but don't touch the bomb and fuse inside."
Kurokawa Akiho handed the □□ sample brought by Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji from the amusement park to Kazami Yuya.
Yuya Kazami looked at his young boss who was dismantling the bomb in the glass house with a troubled look.
Why do the two people defusing the bomb look so familiar?
However, an excellent subordinate fully understood that one should not ask questions that should not be asked. He took the sample, bowed to Kurokawa Akifumi, and hurried to analyze the sample.
On the other side, Conan Edogawa was investigating the bomber with Miwako Sato. He opened the information compiled by Miwako Sato.
The first thing to be affected is Jinpei Matsuda's personal information and photos.
Edogawa Conan opened his eyes wide in surprise. He looked at the photo of Matsuda Jinpei repeatedly and equated it with the figure in his mind who often wore maintenance clothes and fixed light bulbs in Beika Town Park.
The Jinpei Matsuda in the amusement park looks exactly like the Jinpei Matsuda in the Metropolitan Police Department.
What is going on?
