Chapter 55: Rebirth in the Fire
[It's okay, take it off, I'll make it different.] The illusion is of course not a restoration of the object itself, but a conception of Kazukage Yayoi. As long as he has a thought, the illusion will change.
"But if you don't take it off, I can't recognize you through the mask." Amuro Toru frowned.
Since Jing Yayoi had said so, Zhu Fu Jingguang slowly took off his mask without hesitation, "Well... Well..."
When Amuro Toru saw Zhu Fu Jingguang's look, his mind went blank. He stood there in a daze, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he showed an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, it seems I recognized the wrong person."
Conan also had a complicated expression. He could understand why the other party was unwilling to take off the mask. No one would be willing to show their face with such a large burn mark on their face. This scar ruined this originally handsome face, like a huge stain in front of the eyes, which hurt people's hearts. Not to mention Oda Hiro himself, it was completely understandable that the other party was unwilling to take off the mask.
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't know what his face looked like now, but since both of them looked like this, it should be a face that was different from his previous one, but with major flaws.
[You have a burn on the lower right side of your face, and it has never been treated.] Because of the burn, you lost your memory. Because of the burn, you didn’t get treatment. Because of the lack of treatment, you were disfigured. Because of the disfigurement, you are less talkative and unwilling to interact with people. It’s a perfect logical closed loop.
[Also, just in case, I added a burn on your right arm. Um... just imagine that it was caused by a beam falling from the roof and you raised your hand to block it.]
【clear】
When Zhu Fujingguang heard Toru Amuro say that he had recognized the wrong person, his eyes suddenly dimmed. He reached out and touched his face, said nothing, and put on the mask silently.
"Um... didn't Brother Hong get treatment?" Conan asked hesitantly. If it was an injury before the amnesia, a normal person would go see a doctor if they were burned. Was it an injury after the amnesia, or was it because of this injury that he lost his memory?
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head dejectedly, "As long as I can remember, it's like this."
"Where is your first memory?" Toru Amuro seemed to be trying to make up for his rude behavior just now and wanted to help the poor person in front of him.
Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his head, his tone was flat and sad, "My memory is very vague, I seem to have been wandering around the streets most of the time." He sighed, as if he didn't want the two to explore further, "Let's find the bomb first."
Toru Amuro did not refute the change of topic, and Conan took out a map and showed it to Keimitsu Morobushi, "Okay, let's continue. Well, this is Hie Shrine, and this is Tokyo Skytree. One thing worth noting is that, counting the first explosion on the pedestrian street below Tokyo Skytree, there are two bombs in Tokyo Skytree. I think the criminal should be very concerned about this place."
Generally speaking, criminals will not plant two bombs at different times in the same place. First, the first explosion will alert nearby people and make it easy to detect. Second, the police may not let ordinary people in because of the warning. This will not maximize the benefits.
Amuro Toru thought for a moment, "The Tokyo Skytree is used to measure the weather, and it is also the tallest building in Japan. The god worshipped at Hie Shrine is Yamasu Daishujin, the god of the mountain. One of them is the sky, and the other is the earth. Could there be any connection between them?"
Conan shook his head. "From the criminal's speech, we can see that he believes in religion. In religious studies, mountains and land are completely different concepts. In Japanese religion, the one who controls the land is Ebisu God, and although Amaterasu is the mountain god who controls the sky plateau, she is also the symbolic god of the sky and the sun. Speaking of which, Andong... Forget it. For example, according to the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, mountains are Gen Gua and land is Kun Gua. No matter what belief or religious school, mountains and land are separate areas."
As he spoke he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly fell silent. Zhu Fu Jingguang did not dare to interrupt him, so he could only stare at Amuro Toru.
Conan suddenly understood something. He held up his iPad to show the two adults, "I understand! Although it is not heaven and earth, the Tokyo Skytree is a radio tower. Thunder and lightning are represented by Zhen in the Eight Diagrams. Hie Shrine is a mountain god shrine, and mountain is represented by Gen in the Eight Diagrams."
"In the innate hexagram, Zhen occupies the northeast direction, and Gen occupies the northwest direction. If you look at the map, if you use Ginza in the central area as the coordinate point, isn't it just one in the northeast and one in the northwest? And the prisoner has mentioned mutual generation and mutual restraint. The most important concept of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams is mutual generation and mutual restraint."
Amuro Toru, who had knowledge of various countries, looked at Conan's mark on the map and nodded, "That makes sense, but there is no bomb at Hie Shrine. This is something the police have already found out."
Conan gave a confident smile, "No, we are not investigating Hie Shrine."
"Gen represents earth, Zhen represents wood. If the palace represents gold, then there are still water and fire left. As for the explosion, it happens to be related to water and fire, right? Li represents due east, and Kan represents due west, so it is probably in this direction." Conan drew two approximate circles on the map.
"It's hard to say which building symbolizes fire, but there's one symbolizing water right here, the Tokyo Polar Oceanarium." Conan enlarged the map with his fingertips and tapped the screen. "Is what I thought right? We'll know if we go to the oceanarium and take a look."
Hearing this, the two of them did not object, and they went to the Tokyo Polar Ocean Museum together. There were not too many people at the Tokyo Polar Ocean Museum on Friday, not to mention that it was already 7 o'clock, and most tourists were already leaving.
Smiling parents held their jumping children, and the jumping children held colorful balloons. Couples in love held hands and laughed together, and the boys held gifts in their hands. The whole aquarium was filled with a happy atmosphere. The staff of the aquarium waved colorful flags and distributed windmills. The gentle breeze blew, and there was joy and peace. No one could have imagined that there was a bomb here that could destroy everyone's happiness.
"Actually, I've always had a question." Amuro Toru looked at the crowd that kept leaving and asked in confusion, "The Sanno Festival starts at 12 o'clock in the evening, and the Skytree closes at 11 o'clock. If they want to attack more people, detonating it at 12 o'clock will be useless."
Conan nodded in agreement. "Indeed, if it's just the Skytree, it's fine. The Tokyo Polar Oceanarium closes at 10 o'clock. If it's detonated at 12 o'clock, at most a few staff members who are left behind will be killed, or even no one, which is inconsistent with his high-profile behavior. Besides, these places have nothing to do with religion. But let's go in and see if there are any bombs. If it's for water, I guess the bomb should be placed in the underwater tunnel. If the glass is shattered and the water inside gushes out, it will be a big disaster."
The three people originally wanted to buy tickets to enter the museum, but the staff said that since it was already this late, they could just let them go in directly.
Zhu Fu Jingguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have to show his ID. He could just get one wherever he went.
[No one else was injured in the explosion. I originally thought that Conan had solved the mystery, but I didn't expect that it was because bombs don't hurt people?] While the three of them were looking for bombs separately, Yayoi secretly chatted with Morobushi Kagemitsu.
[Does Yayoi have any ideas?] Zhufu Jingguang is also in the dark now, basically has no idea.
[Not at all. I have no way of knowing the answer to something that is not recorded in the world line.]
[What should I do then? ] Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't touch anything, and he didn't dare to run around, so he stood alone in the corner as punishment.
[It's okay. Mr. Amuro has the blessing of good luck from me. As long as you are looking in the right place, he will find it soon.]
Sure enough, Morobushi Keimitsu heard Toru Amuro calling them not far away. He walked over and saw Conan running towards them from the opposite side of the corridor. Toru Amuro took the bomb out of the fire hydrant and showed them the box. "It's the same as the one in the Tokyo Skytree. Call the police."
Conan was a little out of breath from running, but he still smiled happily, "Great, Mr. Amuro! I'll call right away."
Conan briefly explained the reasoning process and results to Inspector Megure, and soon the police rushed to surround the aquarium. The Tokyo Skytree was not very big, so Conan and Amuro Toru first dismantled the bomb and then called the police, but the aquarium was different, it was at least several thousand square meters, so let the police go.
"Now what does fire symbolize?" Conan rested his chin on his right hand, his expression serious and even a little cute. "Generally speaking, bonfires are still considered first. Will there be bonfire performances in Edogawa District, east of the Central District?" Without waiting for the two to answer, Conan searched on his mobile phone, "No, what is that, fireworks?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was shocked by Conan's series of meticulous thinking, clear logic and accurate analysis, and fell into deep silence.
[Are children nowadays so smart? ]
[Conan is different. Not only does he have my authority, but he is also highly connected to the world line. According to online novels, he is the son of luck and the darling of God.]
[…I feel it]
Morobushi Kagemitsu never thought of himself as a stupid person, but this time he did not participate in the whole case and just followed Conan's reasoning.
It was normal for there to be smart people in the world, and he didn't think it was hard to accept that someone was smarter than him, but the other person was just a first-grade student. He and Zero were obviously two outstanding students who graduated from the police academy. Their brains were not the best in Japan, but they were definitely the best among the students in the police academy. But now, they were following others like two pendants. Wasn't this a bit too sci-fi?
He looked up at Amuro Toru, but found that his attention was not on Conan, but on him. Unexpectedly, the two looked at each other. Amuro smiled, "What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head first, then nodded, "Don't you find it strange?"
Amuro tilted his head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang pointed at Conan and said, "Although I have lost my memory, normal children shouldn't be so smart, right?"
Conan, who was lost in thought, was stunned when he heard this. He slowly raised his head and smiled awkwardly but politely, "Because I have been following Uncle Maori, and Uncle Maori's reasoning is very powerful! The police uncle said that this... this is called, hearing... hearing and seeing!"
"It's because of what I have seen and heard." Amuro Toru ruffled Conan's hair and said with a smile, "It seems that this idiom is still too difficult for you."
Conan quickly tidied up his messy hair, "Mr. Amuro, please don't touch my hair!"
"I see." Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded. It seemed that there was something wrong with this Detective Mori. Even Amuro Toru was trying to change the subject.
