Shunji Moriguchi is a criminal genius, at least that's what he thinks.

He hated everything in this world, such as the teacher who criticized him for not studying hard, the classmates who avoided him, the parents who refused to give him any pocket money, and even the babies in the neighbor's house who cried when they saw him. He found them all very disgusting.

What qualifications do these people have to live with me in this world? They are obviously a group of lambs tamed by the world. Only I see everything clearly. I don't care about the world. I can kill people without hesitation. I will not be bound by the world.

These dark thoughts would haunt him from time to time. If nothing unexpected happened, perhaps he would be taught a lesson by reality one day and evolve into a mediocre person. However, an accident happened. In an abandoned warehouse he had just discovered, he found something.

Moriguchi Shunji, who loves looking for all kinds of criminal information, recognized that these things hidden in the sealed bags were bombs.

Then, a feeling that I was indeed chosen suddenly filled my heart, and he immediately decided to give full play to his talent and do something that would attract the attention of the world, so the garden party of Teitan High School became his goal.

He was not a student of this school. After all, his deviation value was too high for him to pass the entrance exam. However, the inspection was not strict at the garden party, so it was not difficult for him to bring a bag of bombs into the broadcasting studio when no one was around, and then he would import the pre-recorded audio and set it to play on time. Then he would put the bombs in the right place. Everything went incredibly smoothly.

Sitting in the audience, Shunji Moriguchi, who was trying hard to suppress his excitement and looking forward to his own results, thought so. He touched the detonator in his pocket, as if he held the fate of everyone in his hands. Everything would change if he pressed it lightly.

As he thought about this, his body trembled with excitement, until everyone's eyes turned to him.

"It's you, right? You were the one who put the recording in the radio studio. What's your purpose? Is it a prank?" The Osaka high school detective, who was covered in a layer of white foundation for some reason, heard someone talking on the radio and then stood in front of Moriguchi Shunji and said this.

"He was the only one who behaved suspiciously in the surveillance footage retrieved from the security room," the nervous girl said carefully, "He was always looking around, acting suspiciously."

"The surveillance there is obviously broken."

"But we fixed it yesterday," the girl explained, looking at Moriguchi with an apologetic look.

"This only explains why I went to the radio studio and said I was the one who played the recording." Moriguchi Shunji explained in a somewhat absurd but still rational tone. Frankly speaking, when he really started committing the crime, there would be many things that didn't go according to plan, like he played the recording to create an alibi for himself, but who knew that the detective would guess it was a recording as soon as he heard it. He even locked the door of the radio studio to make everyone think there was someone inside, and why was the surveillance camera repaired at this time!

But it doesn't matter if there is no evidence, just stay calm...

"I'm sorry, the surveillance is indeed broken. I just thought you were suspicious and you cooperated well." Obviously, the second half of the sentence was said by Detective Osaka to the girl next to her. The girl also wiped away her previous weakness and glared at the detective.

What?!

The other party's words made Moriguchi Shunji's mind go blank. Is this guy making a fool of himself? ! ! For a moment, he felt that everyone was staring at him. This was what he expected, everyone looked at him with admiration, but now these people's eyes must be full of disgust and ridicule, as if he was a little ugly.

Oh, by the way, they think it's just a prank, no it's not, those are real bombs.

"The bombs I set off were real. They were not the pranks you said." Moriguchi Shunji said this, and then met the sharp eyes of the detective opposite him.

"Leave this matter to me, Hattori-kun." The police officer with semi-long hair came over from the back row, stood in front of Moriguchi Shunji, and asked softly:

"You are a student from another school, right? What's your name?" Hagiwara Kenji said to Moriguchi in a gentle manner, "I am Hagiwara from the Second Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

"Don't use such tricks against me. Aren't you afraid that I will detonate a bomb right now?" Moriguchi Shunji was so desperate because of what Hattori Heiji said just now that he directly revealed that he was the criminal and even had the mood to mock him.

"But is there really a bomb? You're just a student?" The police officer's tone was a little doubtful, which immediately aroused Moriguchi's dissatisfaction. "Of course, but I won't tell you where it is."

However, just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly shouted:

“Found it!”

A man in sportswear and black curly hair came to the center of the stage at some point and quickly found the covered bomb next to the props on the stage.

The stage was a little dark, with only a beam of light in the middle for the characters. The man stood under the light holding a bomb. Then, under everyone's horrified gazes, he put the bomb down, sat cross-legged, and took out a bag from somewhere. He opened it and found all kinds of bomb disposal tools.

So a very strange scene took place in the theater. The audience was silent, and everyone looked at the stage. A man was sitting on a Western-style stage performing a bomb disposal show.

Should I say he is worthy of being called Kojinpei...Hagiwara Kenji had already anticipated the report he would have to write in a while, and then looked at the criminal who had been stunned just now.

Moriguchi Shunji was completely panicked and couldn't help but grope for something, then couldn't help shouting, "Wait, my guide..."

"This is too dangerous. Let me keep it for you." Behind Moriguchi, a tall figure completely covered Moriguchi. Date Kou was holding something like a remote control in his hand. Apparently, when Hagiwara was guiding the conversation just now, this seemingly honest police officer had quickly taken the detonator from Moriguchi. After all, almost all bombers would tacitly hold this kind of thing in their hands or put it in their pockets. As early as the moment Moriguchi let go of his hand due to emotional excitement, Date Kou easily got it.

"nailed it."

The curly-haired man on the stage put down his tools and spoke, bringing the campus bombing incident, which lasted less than ten minutes from the start of the broadcast, to an end, so quickly that it seemed absurd.

For some reason, someone in the audience started applauding. Soon after, everyone responded with crazy applause that filled the entire theater. It was not for the show or the bomb case, but simply for the man on the stage who had quickly resolved the danger and protected them. The light on the stage shone on the man, and also focused everyone's admiring gazes.

"Xiao Zhenping really stole the show this time, but I'm afraid that smart brain hasn't realized that we're applauding him." Hagiwara Kenji patted Date Kou's shoulder and said, "It's just that the sportswear he's wearing is a little funny."

“He’s so handsome!” Someone in the audience heard what Hagiwara said and immediately retorted, “This is going to be my idol from now on!”

Hagiwara looked at the boy numbly as if he were a fanboy, and apparently, there was more than one. The applause just now not only did not stop but began to be mixed with various shouts. The men and women in the audience seemed to suddenly realize the face of the man on the stage, and the words turned from thanks to various confessions, which made Hagiwara feel uncomfortable for a moment.

My childhood friend whom I have known for decades has suddenly become a popular figure, even though he is obviously not as handsome as me, okay? ! ! ! Well, he does look quite handsome on stage, but how can I admit that!

"Wait, how did you know that? I obviously faked my voice and..." Moriguchi, who was sitting on the chair in a daze, was full of questions. As a criminal, no one cared about him. Everyone was looking at the man on the stage, and the two police officers were busy notifying their superiors to explain the reason. Only Hattori Heiji came to his senses and explained:

"Although you did a lot of misleading, as long as you quickly observed the audience when you heard the broadcast, the excitement on your face was too obvious compared to the fear or indifference of others," Hattori Heiji pointed at Moriguchi's bag and said, "But before approaching you, I did think it was a prank, but whether it was carrying an empty bag that was obviously too big to hold anything or keeping your hands in your pockets all the time, these behaviors all proved that you did bring something. As for the location of the bomb..."

"The criminal likes to see the scene of his crime. Even common sense would make the criminal unable to resist doing it, not to mention a guy who has some desire to perform." The masked male protagonist on the stage came over at some point and continued Hattori Heiji's words, saying:

"And when you mentioned the bomb, I'm afraid you couldn't help but look at the location of the bomb. Officer Matsuda must have discovered this and quickly locked the location of the bomb."

So there is no trick in this case at all, it is just a crude prank, and just like a prank, there is no estimation of the consequences, it is purely an act to seek attention. It is even a bit embarrassing when there are three or four professional policemen, two famous high school detectives, and a group of hidden special people present.

"Boring." Huiyuan Ai gave an accurate evaluation, but looked at Noel with surprise, who looked serious, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering where he got the bomb?" Noel replied. He was thinking about more than that. It was surprising that an ordinary student got a bomb, but it was reasonable in Beika Town. But how did this case, which did not originally appear in Conan comics, happen?

"Where did you get the bomb?" Kenji Hagiwara, who had just informed the Metropolitan Police Department and finished explaining, finally turned around and looked at Shunji Moriguchi and asked.

"Why should I tell you?" It was obvious that the furious Shunji Moriguchi needed time to calm down. Hagiwara Kenji was not in a hurry either. He took him back to the Metropolitan Police Department and asked him slowly, as there was plenty of time.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Matsuda Jinpei was rescued by Date Kou with his tall stature. The curly-haired man who was almost kissed by the students looked as if he had left his body. Date Kou beside him seemed to be the most reliable bodyguard who helped block the students from getting close to him. He even said "I have a girlfriend" to refuse when asked about himself. After all, although Matsuda Jinpei was the most prominent, some people also witnessed the working styles of the other two police officers. Date Kou, who looked very reliable, was also remembered by many people. Those who knew that the other party had a girlfriend could only put their minds at ease. Then they pointed at Matsuda and Hagiwara and asked:

"What about them?"

“They are all single.”

Under the increasingly shining eyes of the crowd, Date Kou handed over the soul-leaving Matsuda Jinpei to Hagiwara Kenji.

"Captain, you are trying to trick us." Hagiwara Kenji took Matsuda's hand while staring at the wolf-like eyes. Seeing that Koujinran looked unhappy, he felt better and asked:

“How does it feel to be a star?”

"Are they crazy?" Matsuda was silent for a long time. Their aura, which usually resembled that of members of a criminal organization, now seemed to be wilted and they looked well fed.

"It's them." Hagiwara corrected them with a happy look.

Matsuda Jinpei was silent, then froze and changed the subject, or rather, brought it back to the main topic, saying, "The bomb this time is the same as the one with the Ferris wheel."

"What?"

"It's homemade, with a display screen," Matsuda said simply, "but he's dead."

"It should have been made before that, but this kid picked it up and brought it to this point." Matsuda Jinpei speculated. Before Hagiwara Kenji could say anything, someone else interrupted and said:

"Ferris wheel? Was it the attempted explosion of the Ferris wheel three years ago?"

The person who was speaking was wearing a black robe and had not yet taken off the black mask on his face. He looked very mysterious.

"Who are you?" Matsuda asked with a frown, but before the mysterious man could answer, Xiaolan, who was wearing a princess dress, covered her mouth and shouted in surprise:

"Shinichi?!"
