Why did the explosion happen at Shin-Osaka Station?
Although the reason is still unclear, Makoto Sakaki, Kogoro Mori, Conan, Heiji Hattori and others have already launched an investigation into this issue.
The center of the explosion was the plump woman that Makoto Sakaki saw in the car. In other words, it is very likely that the bomb was installed in the suitcase she was carrying and detonated near the exit of Shin-Osaka Station.
Is she a bomber seeking revenge against society?
Some people, because of the unpleasant things they encounter in life, have the idea of revenge on society. This situation is not uncommon and happens almost every year.
If the slightly plump woman also thinks this way, then there is nothing much to say about this case.
But....
Be it Makoto Sakaki, Conan, or even Kogoro Mouri, no one thinks this is a simple case of revenge against society.
The reason is simple. Which bomber in the world would bring his own child to the crime scene?
Aren’t you afraid of being affected?
Or maybe the slightly plump woman wanted to take the little boy with her to die with her, but this is just speculation and the reality is completely different.
Judging from the distance between the little boy and the slightly plump woman, the slightly plump woman obviously didn't want the little boy to die with her, so she entrusted him to the staff at the ticket counter.
"The police will be here soon. Until then, let's investigate."
After revealing their identities to the security personnel at Shin-Osaka Station, Makoto Sakaki and Kogoro Mori took control of the scene as famous detectives, blocked all entrances and exits, stopped trains, and ensured that everything remained the same before the arrival of the police.
The staff cooperated with Kogoro Mouri, Miss Miyano and others to start checking the condition of the injured and taking first aid measures. Conan walked around the explosion site, trying to look for clues.
When it comes to finding clues, Conan's professionalism is at a professional level. No matter how cunning the criminal is, he can always find clues.
After handing the scene over to Conan, Sakaki Makoto and Hattori ran straight to the inspection table, where a little boy was crying loudly and holding on to his Ultraman toy tightly.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
The staff responsible for taking care of him looked overwhelmed and had no idea how to comfort him.
Sakaki Makoto walked up to him and squatted down without saying a word. He just stared into the other's eyes with a gaze as calm as water.
As the little boy cried, his voice gradually became softer, as if he was infected by Sakaki Makoto's gaze, and his originally panic-stricken, helpless emotions gradually calmed down.
"May I have your name?"
When the little boy stopped crying, Sakaki Makoto finally spoke.
"Edogawa... Yukio."
The little boy twitched his nose, his eyes reddened, and he spoke in a muffled voice.
"Do you like Ultraman too?"
Sakaki Makoto looked at the model toy in the little boy's hand and smiled:
"I like Tiga the best."
"Seven is the strongest!"
"The Giant of Light brings hope, and hope is not divided by the strong or the weak."
Sakaki pointed at the little boy's chest:
“It’s inside you.”
The little boy nodded, not quite understanding.
"Who are you, big brother?"
"Sakaki Makoto, this is my business card."
Sakaki took out a white card from his wallet and handed it over:
"Do you want to play a game?"
"What game?"
"Detective game, do you know Sherlock Holmes?"
"I know. Dad likes his novels very much."
"Very good, next you will play the role of Sherlock Holmes, and I will play the role of your assistant Watson. During an outing, we accidentally encountered an explosion case..."
Sakaki Makoto said patiently:
"Inspector Lestrade will be here soon. We are going to arrest the criminal. Shall we, Mr. Holmes?"
"Um!"
Yukio Edogawa wiped his tears and nodded heavily.
Given the little boy's current mental state, he would not be able to answer any questions even if asked, and might even fall into a psychological shadow that he could not get out of.
For this reason, Sakaki Makoto can only take another approach, which is to let the little boy get into the case firsthand and look at it from the perspective of an outsider. In this way, he may be able to provide useful clues.
Under the leadership of Sakaki Makoto, the newly appointed little Sherlock Holmes came to the crime scene. Looking at the slightly plump woman who was seriously injured and was receiving emergency treatment, his mouth pursed, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to cry again.
"Mr. Holmes, based on the evidence left at the scene, she seems to be the criminal carrying the bomb."
"No! Mama....she is not a criminal!"
The little boy shouted loudly.
"Why do you think she is not a criminal?"
"Because...because...Mom was coerced!"
"Coercion?"
Sakaki Makoto narrowed his eyes slightly:
"So there is a deeper reason for this case? Mr. Holmes, what is your reasoning?"
"The night before yesterday, Mom suddenly received a strange phone call. There was a man on the other end, speaking in a shrill voice. He asked Mom to obey his orders, otherwise he would kill my sister..."
"You have a sister?"
"Um."
The little boy raised his head:
"My sister's name is Edogawa Airi. She just started elementary school this year. She went out to play with her friends the afternoon before yesterday and suddenly disappeared."
"So your mother didn't call the police?"
"No... The man said that if Mommy dared to call the police, he would kill her. Mommy was scared and Daddy was on a business trip abroad. She had no choice but to obey the other party's command..."
After hearing this, Sakaki Makoto understood the general ins and outs of the matter.
If the little boy was not lying, the criminal who planned the bombing was not the plump woman, but the murderer hiding behind the scenes.
The other party kidnapped the little boy's sister and used it to threaten the woman to act according to his instructions.
"Did that man give your mother a suitcase with a bomb inside and send her on a Shinkansen train to Osaka?"
Hattori Heiji on the side asked.
"You're only half right."
The little boy shook his head:
"The suitcase belonged to my mother. The man asked my mother to take the suitcase she had just bought and take the Shinkansen train to Osaka. He then told my mother about the next plan."
What the little boy said was almost the same as what Makoto Sakaki had guessed, with only some differences in details.
"It seems that this is not a simple explosion case."
Sakaki Makoto said in a serious tone:
"The criminal obviously planned it carefully, like a puppeteer hiding in the dark, and your mother was his puppet... I have another question, if the box was your mother's, how could there be a bomb in it?"
"have no idea...."
The little boy lowered his head and whispered:
"Before I got off the train, my mom received a phone call and her face changed immediately. After the train stopped, she handed me over to the conductor and left in a hurry..."
