On the way home, Xian was talking to Xiao Si while thinking.

Although he did try to gain favor with the Miyano family when he was a child, and he has kept in touch with Miyano Akemi over the years, he actually doesn't know what Miyano Akemi thinks of him. His plan to whitewash himself in front of Miyano Akemi has always been to be nice to Shirley, and even his own character has always been played according to the brainwashing character in the organization... and so on.

Did she know that she was brainwashed by the organization? But he probably didn't act too obviously, just a little abnormal when he mentioned Gin. And at that time, Akemi Miyano was still young, and even now, she shouldn't touch on the content of brainwashing by the organization.

Could it be that it was something that Miyano Elena said back then? Xian didn't know.

You can try to test the waters a little in the future. From today's communication, I always feel that she has a feeling of knowing everything.

[Host! Do you remember that she seemed to want to ask you about gin before, but then stopped. ]

Hey, if you hadn’t told me, I would have forgotten it. It was that time when I went out with Shirley.

Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Although he tried very hard to throw Kudo to the side, his back was still inevitably affected by the aftermath of the bomb, and it was burning with pain. Kudo Shinichi was thrown into the pile of clothes next to him, and with the cushioning of the clothes, he should not have fallen too hard.

Just when the atmosphere between the three of them was a little awkward, a familiar voice suddenly came: "Ah, Boss Hinamori?"

"Yes, that's right. That's the request." Kudo Shinyi nodded in affirmation, and then his expression became serious again. "He only gave us a ten-minute window. After ten minutes, if he doesn't see that all the TV stations are broadcasting, he will detonate the bomb." Kudo Shinyi paused and continued, "And within these ten minutes, no matter what method we use to evacuate the people, he will not interfere."

"Shinichi, Shinichi!!" With such a loud noise, it was impossible for Mouri Ran, who was standing at the bathroom door, not to hear it. She ran out in a hurry, anxiously looking for Kudo Shinichi, with Suzuki Sonoko following closely behind.

"Hey, Boss Hinamori!" Kudo Shinichi asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" He struggled to turn over and check Xian's injuries.

"Ah, this..." Xian was a little helpless, but after all, he was in the wrong, so he could only say in a low voice, "This is necessary..."

"…So, why didn't you take the elevator? The elevator was also blown up?" Miyano Shiho said with a sullen face.

Xian grabbed Kudo Shinichi's wrist and said, "Don't worry about me for now. Have you called the police? The Metropolitan Police Department will not sit idly by when something this serious happens." He struggled to stand up, "Call the police while evacuating. We have no way of confirming if there are any other bombs in this building!"

"Oh, yes, yes." Kudo Shinichi held Xian with one hand and took out his cell phone with the other hand to make a call.

[That’s right, so I think she really knows about your relationship with Gin, right? ]

It was obvious that Kudo Shinichi also saw the box, and he also heard Mouri Ran's call. He made a stopping gesture to Mouri Ran and shouted, "Ran! Don't come over!!" Then he walked towards the box without thinking.

If the members in Japan recently were not those who could not challenge Gin, and he himself would not casually explore and doubt, how could Gin be so relaxed and at ease? If it were Vermouth, she would definitely try every means to find out where Gin was.

"…Is that so? I understand, Officer Megure." Kudo Shinichi had no idea what he had heard from the Metropolitan Police Department. His face was solemn and he nodded repeatedly.

"Kudo-san, what a coincidence, we meet here." Xian made an apologetic gesture to the Miyano sisters, then turned around and greeted Kudo Shinichi.

"So the great detective is here to shop at the mall, too? It doesn't seem like it." Xian replied with half-moon eyes, "Or maybe he came here with other people, like Miss Maori..."

"If he hasn't detonated it yet... does he have any requests?" Miyano Shiho pulled her sister's sleeve and said calmly.

"Huh? Shouldn't you reflect on this kind of thing?" Shirley raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, "If you didn't send so many people to guard every time we meet, would we have to choose similar places and similar ways of reminiscing every time?" Shirley was very dissatisfied.

"This..." Everyone was a little confused. They had never heard of a bomber making such a weird request.

"...Huh? There are so many people on the third and fourth floors? And why is there only one elevator in such a large shopping mall?" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't believe it.

Unfortunately, he saw Gin less and less often. He didn't know what he was doing. He was nowhere to be found all day. It seemed that he disappeared as soon as he completed his mission. He saw Vodka drinking sadly in the bar several times.

With detective instinct, Kudo Shinichi immediately ran to the window and looked up, only to see a big hole in the upper floor, with thick smoke billowing out. But it is worth noting that the smoke was not black and gray, but blue. Suddenly, screams rang out in the mall, and customers rushed to the emergency exit, and the scene was in chaos.

"What happened, Shinichi?" asked Ran Mao Li worriedly.

Anyway, let's take it one step at a time.

Before Kudo Shinichi could finish his words, he heard a loud explosion from upstairs. They immediately looked towards the source of the sound, but they could only see a lot of glass fragments falling from the window.

Before Xian could think about it, there were several more explosions, this time it seemed to be from downstairs and upstairs. Suddenly, the customers who wanted to go down did not dare to go down, and started to go up, but the people above did not react, and the two sides collided with each other, causing chaos for a while.

"Okay, let's talk about this later..."

"...Hey! Kudo!" Xian's pupils shrank. The upstairs and downstairs were all exploding, so this one must be about to explode soon. How could Kudo Shinichi have time to pick it up and throw it away? In order to prevent the protagonist from dying on the spot, he used his fastest Qinggong to pounce on Kudo Shinichi, and did not forget to say to Miyano Akemi, "Amei, quickly take Shiho and hide behind this pillar!"

【this……】

"...As expected of a student who likes Sherlock Holmes, your observations are very detailed." Xian praised.

Xian paused. There were really not many people who would call him that. It could only be... Xian turned around and, as expected, it was Kudo Shinichi.

"Kudo, get down!!"

"Boss Hinamori also goes shopping... Wait, he's actually shopping with a girl?" Kudo Shinichi was a little surprised. He tilted his head to look at the Miyano sisters waiting over there, and touched his chin, "But, it's not his girlfriend, right?"

Xian's mentality was still very good, and the following days passed uneventfully. In addition to completing tasks, he stayed in the bookstore, or took his dog out for a stroll, showed his face in Beika Town to make his presence felt, and occasionally interacted with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. Of course, he did not forget to visit Morobushi Keimitsu and give him money for his daily life, but this was only a rare occasion. After all, it was too dangerous to meet with the rescued undercover frequently.

"...Well, of course." Xian was a little helpless, but fortunately Kudo Shinichi did not directly say that he was shopping with his girlfriend.

"It looks like most people downstairs have left. There's no one else at the stairs. They're all inside the stairs." Miyano Akemi said.

"boom!!!!"

Could this guy be hiding a mistress? With a joking mentality, Xian accepted the task of taking Shirley out. This was the first time Shirley met Miyano Akemi after Akai Shuichi's identity was exposed.

Wait, at this rate of explosion, the windows will be affected by the explosion, and the next explosion will be... "Brother Xian, look there!" Miyano Akemi hugged Miyano Shiho and leaned carefully against the pillar. Her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a suspicious box hidden under a clothes hanger not far away.

Seeing that Xian was in a difficult situation, Miyano Akemi comforted him: "Okay, Shiho, don't make things difficult for Xian. It's not his fault."

"Shinichi!" Mao Lilan ran over quickly and reached out to help, "Mr. Hinamori! Why are you here too? And... are you okay?"

“Hiss, it looks like something’s wrong, but luckily they’re still alive and trying to squeeze down, so for a moment they were blocked at the stairs and couldn’t move forward.

"That's what I said. Judging from Mr. Hinamori's daily life, he lives alone and doesn't look like he has a girlfriend. What's more, Mr. Hinamori even helped carry the shopping bags... It's rare for boyfriends in Japan to do this." Kudo Shinichi explained clearly.

"..." Kudo Shinichi felt a little unnatural for a moment, and the majestic aura just now completely disappeared, "Oh, it's not just her, there are others." Of course there is also Sonoko, Kudo Shinichi continued, "They just went to the bathroom door, so I was waiting for them here." As he said that, Kudo Shinichi pointed to the sign of the bathroom door hanging on the other side.

This is actually not contradictory. I did act very good to A Zhen in front of her back then. The distant relationship now can be explained by the fact that we gradually stopped staying together and our feelings faded.

"There's a promotion on the third floor today, and there's a performance on the fourth floor, so there are more people going there..." Mao Lilan is quite knowledgeable about this aspect, "As for the shopping mall... Sonozi, this shopping mall is a small to medium-sized one." If there hadn't been an event, so many people wouldn't have come before.

"What?!" Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were shocked.

"boom!!!"

"Ah, it hurts! Hiss—" Although Xian could bear it, only a normal person could bear it. In order to appear normal in front of the protagonist, Xian put his left hand on his right shoulder with a painful expression.

Xian looked at the bomb wreckage that was still emitting green smoke outside the door even though a certain amount of time had passed, and something seemed to flash through his mind.

"…The bomber contacted the Metropolitan Police Department and said that he had installed a bomb in the shopping mall that was powerful enough to blow up the entire building." Kudo Shinichi looked solemn.

At this time, they were the only ones still standing at the staircase on the fifth floor. The rest of the people, except for some who were waiting for the elevator, had already squeezed into the stairwell door.

Xian followed Miyano Akemi's instructions and spotted the incongruity there almost immediately. Combined with a system scan, he was able to confirm that it was the bomb that had not exploded on this floor.

"Is that so?" Xian said, "I won't bother you anymore." He waved to Kudo Shinichi and smiled, "Let's go somewhere else first. After all, I want to focus on the ladies today."

"Boss Hinamori! How are you? Let me see..." Kudo Shinichi wanted to go around to check, but was stopped by Xian.

The moment Xian threw Kudo Shinichi at the door, the bomb exploded.

"Hmph." Shirley snorted lightly, knowing that she was taking her anger out on others, so she stopped talking.

But... is there something added to this smoke? This time it's blue? Is there something special about it? It can't be a strange explosion culture created by Tokyo people themselves... That's too bad taste.

"Of course, I want to be a detective like Sherlock Holmes!" Kudo Shinichi raised his head proudly.

"...So, why do you two always go shopping every time you two meet?" Xian followed the Miyano sisters with a handbag and a helpless look on his face.

"Damn it... It's already been five minutes. We have to hurry! I don't know what the Metropolitan Police Department is doing." Kudo Shinichi looked at the crowded stairs and just as he was about to step in, he heard a shout: "Elevator--"

Xian: ...? Wait, this familiar opening, could it be...

"That's right." Kudo Shinichi looked at the girl who had not been very noticeable before for a few more times, and was a little surprised at her calmness. "His request is..." Thinking of the bomber's request, Kudo Shinichi showed a strange look on his face, "He asked all TV channels in Tokyo to broadcast the scene in real time."

He only said two words when someone covered his mouth. The people crowded on the stairs couldn't hear it at all. Only Xian and a few others outside noticed it.

"Ah, it seems that some people don't want others to find out that the elevator is available." Miyano Shiho said calmly, "As expected, the weaknesses of human nature can be fully revealed at times like this."

Kudo Shinichi: ...

Why does he always say such things without any emotion? ! What is wrong with this guy? !
