The typhoon has passed, but Tokyo is still drizzling with rain. The rain is not heavy, but it is annoying enough.
The elementary school student's mother brought her child to return the umbrella to Hinata Sou. Amid the constant voices of thanks, Hinata Sou felt that it was a bit too serious as he had only given away an umbrella.
But the young mother said that if it weren’t for the umbrella given by Hinata Sou, the child would have been trapped in the art museum. The typhoon was too strong and she couldn’t go out, and the child would have been afraid in an unfamiliar place. So, Hinata Sou’s umbrella saved the child’s heart.
"You've done something like this before." Edogawa Conan twitched his lips, "You're really worthy of me."
"If Conan were here, I would give you the umbrella too." Hinata Hajime said as a matter of course, "After all, it's just a cub, so small and immature."
Conan Edogawa said please exclude yourself from this, he is not a child, even if he looks like a child, he is a high school detective who will soon become an adult!
"So, what are you here for?" Hinata Hajime picked up his cell phone and checked the time, confirming that today was Saturday. During this period of time, Hinata Hajime was almost confused about the time. He needed to look at the calendar every time to confirm today's date. His life was too confusing.
"It's Sonoko. She asked me to ask you if you want to attend a movie premiere. She has quite a few tickets."
Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, "Ms. Suzuki?"
"right."
"I feel like Ms. Suzuki can always pick up a bunch of tickets from anywhere and give them away."
Conan Edogawa thought about it, and finally he found that what Hinata Hajime said made sense.
"After all, she is the daughter of the Suzuki Group." Edogawa Conan said, "And it was just a movie premiere, so it wasn't that hard to get one. Sonoko particularly liked one of the leading actors in the movie, and the movie happened to be invested by the Suzuki Group, so they generously gave Sonoko a lot of tickets."
"What movie is it?" Hinata Hajime asked.
"I'm not sure, it's probably an action movie about a detective and a criminal." Edogawa Conan took out his phone to search for the movie name. After reading the synopsis, he nodded. "Yes, that's about it. I don't know the specific plot yet, but the synopsis does mention that it's a confrontation between a detective and a criminal."
Hinata Hajime sighed, "That's quite true to reality."
"well?"
"That's it." Hinata Hajime nodded. "I've never seen a place with a higher crime rate than here, and it seems like there are detectives everywhere."
Edogawa Conan: ...
Well, Hinata Hajime now not only feels that he is unlucky, but he has even evolved to the point where he feels that this city is unlucky.
"What time?"
"Three o'clock this afternoon." Edogawa Conan sighed. He looked at the painting in front of Hinata Hajime that was becoming more and more complete. After a week, even Edogawa Conan could see that Hinata Hajime's painting was much better than before. The flower painted with various colors was becoming more and more eye-catching.
"Have you ever tried to draw something else?" Edogawa Conan asked, "or did you start out just to draw this flower?"
"I won't try anything else. I feel that trying this once is enough. After all, it's not my strong point." Hinata Hajime put the last touch of red on the center of the flower. "Conan, will you learn to sing one day, and sing a lot of songs?"
Conan Edogawa remembered his tone-deaf voice and shut up silently.
but……
Edogawa Conan looked at the painting in front of him with complicated eyes.
I don't know if it's his problem, but Hinata Hajime insisted on using various colors to stick on this painting. It's not that it's inharmonious. In fact, under the rubbing, it's not that abrupt. It's just that too many colors are mixed, making the whole painting appear a strange black.
To be honest, he thought the flower was poisonous.
However, this is not something Conan Edogawa can control, and he doesn't want to understand Hinata Hajime's thoughts.
A strange policeman came to Tokyo. I don’t know if he was carrying out a secret mission. No policeman can take such a long vacation.
Edogawa Conan stood up and glanced at the rain outside. "I wonder if it will rain again by then."
"It's been drizzling all day today." Hinata Hajime put away the painting he had finished, then sorted out his paints and pens, then said goodbye to the museum director and left with Edogawa Conan, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll treat you to lunch at noon."
"Sushi? But I also want to have a snack, like lemon pie or something."
"Then let's finish our sushi and have some snacks."
"Is it okay?"
"I want to eat straw cakes too."
…
As expected, it was drizzling in the afternoon. After talking to Ran Mouri, Conan Edogawa told her that he was going with Hinata Hajime. Ran Mouri thanked Hinata Hajime for helping her take care of the children, and then went out to buy things with Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko particularly liked this actor, and she had prepared photos and notebooks early on, ready for him to sign a few more autographs.
Although everyone thinks that it is easy to get the signatures by relying on the Suzuki family, Suzuki Sonoko thinks that it is not as valuable as getting it by herself.
Mao Lilan doesn't understand people who chase stars, but as a friend, she is willing to accompany Suzuki Sonoko to choose a book suitable for signing.
When Hinata Hajime and Edogawa Conan walked over with an umbrella, Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were already waiting at the entrance of the cinema. When she saw them, Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands vigorously at them and looked very excited.
"You're finally here." Suzuki Sonoko ran up to Hinata Hajime, "It's really too late. We only have ten minutes left to enter."
"Sorry, I will come earlier next time." Hinata Hajime apologized with a smile.
"I don't mean to dislike Mr. Hinata, I just complained subconsciously, Mr. Hinata, please don't take it so seriously." Suzuki Sonoko said quickly: "Okay, I bought drinks for everyone, let's go in quickly, the movie is about to start, and I can see my idol!"
Suzuki Sonoko is a lively person, and she talks nonstop when she is excited.
Soon Hinata Hajime learned some news about her idol from Suzuki Sonoko.
He is an orphan who has never even been to school. He was discovered by a scout while working and became famous at a young age. Now, seven or eight years have passed, and he has won the Best Actor award and become a most valuable actor. He also took advantage of his free time from acting to study on his own and obtained several doctoral degrees.
This is simply the configuration of a winner in life.
Hinata Hajime was also surprised when he heard it. It turned out that there are still differences between people.
"He rarely participates in movie promotions. He showed up at the premiere because he really likes this movie and wanted to hear everyone's comments first." Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly, "That's great. I also want to send him my blessing."
"Congratulations." Hinata Hajime said with a smile.
"Mr. Hinata would definitely agree, after all, his acting is so good!"
Conan Edogawa twitched his lips and murmured helplessly, "She is still like this."
"Okay, okay, Sonoko." Mao Lilan quickly stopped Suzuki Sonoko's self-entertainment, "We have to go in. If we don't go in now, we will be late."
"Ah, yes!"
With that, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly pulled Mouri Ran into the cinema, and Hinata Hajime and Edogawa Conan followed. But the moment Hinata Hajime stepped into the cinema, he suddenly stopped.
[Don't go in.] Kamukura Izuru suddenly spoke.
[Hmm.] Hinata Sou raised his head and looked around, [Something is not right here.]
"Brother Hinata?" Edogawa Conan looked at Hinata Hajime, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go in?"
Hinata Hajime looked at Edogawa Conan, and then he said, "There seems to be something in here."
"...Something? Could it be!" Edogawa Conan's eyes widened. He reacted quickly and rushed over to grab Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko who were about to enter the theater. "Sister Ran, Sister Sonoko, don't go in! There's something wrong inside!"
"Huh? There's a problem?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Edogawa Conan strangely, "What's the problem?"
【Here it comes.】The throne said.
"Get down!" Hinata Hajime shouted at the same time.
Ran Mouri didn't know what happened, but she learned from Kogoro Mouri that Hinata Hajime was a policeman. Since Hinata Hajime, a policeman, said this, something must have happened, so Ran Mouri directly pushed Suzuki Sonoko to the ground, and Conan Edogawa also squatted beside her.
In the moment when Suzuki Sonoko was confused, there was a loud bang.
There was an unexpected explosion, mixed with people's fear and screams. Suzuki Sonoko even felt that her ears were deaf for a moment. Stones kept falling, but because they were not far from the explosion site, the surrounding walls were a little precarious, and black smoke came out of the room inside.
"Get out of here quickly!"
Edogawa Conan shouted and stood up. Hinata Hajime also ran over at this time. He and Mouri Ran pulled Suzuki Sonoko, who had fallen to the ground, out of the cinema together.
Shortly after they came out, flames came out from the door of the cinema. Hinata Hajime's eyes widened. He wanted to move forward, but was grabbed by the arm by Edogawa Conan.
"Don't go." Conan Edogawa's face was covered in black ash. "It won't help if you go in. Besides, this cinema has done fire drills before. There are fire extinguishers and escape doors everywhere. The casualties are definitely not as great as you think."
"Leave it to the professional firefighters."
As soon as Edogawa Conan finished speaking, a fire truck came in. They quickly rushed over with their equipment, and a large amount of water rushed into the cinema.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was temporarily deaf, covered her ears. She sat on the ground and stared blankly at the blazing movie theater in front of her.
"Everyone." Suzuki Sonoko forced herself to stand up, "Is everyone okay?"
"We are all fine." Mao Lilan supported her, "Sonoko, how are you? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"I'm fine." said Suzuki Sonoko.
But the next moment after she finished speaking, Suzuki Sonoko fainted. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived and Mouri Ran quickly followed the ambulance to the hospital. Edogawa Conan was a little worried about this, but since Mouri Ran held him back, he had no way to stay.
In the end, Hinata Hajime was the only one left standing in front of the sea of fire.
Looking at the blazing sea of fire, there was a hint of forbearance in Hinata Hajime's green eyes.
【Outflow.】
【I know what you want to say, it's not your fault. 】
"Of course it's not my fault, but if I had come earlier, I might have discovered that there was a bomb inside." Hinata Sou sighed, "But I also know that things have happened, and it's stupid to think about the past now."
[He is indeed very self-aware.]
Hinata Hajime was helpless, "What I don't understand is why there is a bomb in the cinema?"
【You can wait for notification. 】
【That's all I can do.】
Hinata Hajime refused the police's caring questions and took a taxi to the hospital. At the door, he saw Edogawa Conan sneaking out. When he saw Hinata Hajime, Edogawa Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're here." Edogawa Conan sighed, "Great, I thought you would save people on the spot."
"Do you think I would do these things?" Hinata Hajime smiled. "I'm not good at saving people in a fire scene. I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for the firefighters."
"It's good that you know." Edogawa Conan took Hinata Hajime into the inpatient building at the back, "Sonoko is on the third floor."
People rescued by firefighters were sent to the hospital one after another. Fortunately, this was the premiere of the movie and the leading actors were present, so tickets were not easy to get and the number of people who could come was limited. In addition, the cinema did a good job of fire prevention, so no one died and only a few people were injured.
Suzuki Sonoko was also fine. She was frightened, and the explosion was too much of a shock for her to handle. She passed out, but was fine when she woke up.
"But, the condition of that lead actor is not very good." Conan Edogawa sighed while sitting on a bench outside. He looked around and saw several people standing anxiously at the door of the intensive care unit on the third floor, and lying inside was the lead actor this time.
"We were going to use the elevator to give the audience a surprise, but it suddenly exploded and we were trapped in the elevator. Although we managed to save ourselves, the situation was too harsh. We ended up passing out in the elevator and we are not sure if we can wake up now."
"Have you found the cause of the explosion?"
"I don't know, after all, the fire started and almost everything was burned." Edogawa Conan touched his chin, "But, it was indeed an explosion. We were outside at the time. Although we are not sure where the explosion occurred, it was definitely not a fire."
"I just don't know whether this was a premeditated explosion or an accidental explosion caused unconsciously."
But Conan Edogawa knew very well that the possibility of an accidental explosion was very low.
He said before that this cinema conducts fire drills frequently and has even been rated as the best fire prevention unit. They check the wires every day to ensure that the fire doors and safety escape devices are functioning properly. It is impossible for an accidental fire to happen in this cinema.
So, someone must have placed the bomb deliberately.
Now, there is only one problem.
Who exactly did the person who set off the bomb want to kill?
Apart from the seriously injured actors, none of them died.
[Although I didn't get to watch the movie, the popularity of this movie will skyrocket.] Hinata Sou murmured softly, [After all, the lead actor is in the intensive care unit and his life or death is unknown. This may be his last movie.]
【Yes.】 Kamizuru said: 【It will break the record.】
Hinata Sou sighed.
There is no way.
That's human nature.
