"Someone has planted a bomb on the Shinkansen?" Hagiwara Kenji, who was sitting in the police car, couldn't help but ask when he heard the mission, "Do you want to take revenge on society?"
"We don't know the details yet," the team leader said simply. "The person who called the police was an ordinary citizen, but he mentioned that it was Shinichi Kudo who deduced it."
"Kudo Shinichi, the famous high school detective?" Hagiwara Kenji looked at his childhood friend subconsciously, and as expected, he saw the corners of his mouth raised, and he spoke lazily;
"The savior of the Japanese police."
This name came from media reports. Although it was an exaggerated description and enough to make all the police officers who heard it feel uncomfortable, only Jinpei Matsuda expressed his interest in seeing it after hearing it.
"Although we are not sure whether it is true or not, but just in case..." The team leader sighed. Although there is a high possibility that it is a false alarm, no one can take the responsibility if it is true.
Hagiwara Kenji nodded in understanding. When he chose this profession, being suddenly notified to gather and rush to places where explosives might be found had become the norm, so he naturally would not be dissatisfied with this.
"Ding ding——" The communicator on his waist rang, and the team leader immediately picked it up, saying with a serious expression,
"Hello, we are the explosive ordnance disposal team, heading to the target location..."
Matsuda Jinpei relied on the close distance and wanted to listen, but he found that the team leader suddenly raised his head and said, "The caller's phone call was answered. It seems that something happened over there. Come over and listen."
"Hello, is this the bomb disposal police officer?" The voice of the person who called the police came out. The sound was a little distorted after being amplified, but it still made Kenji Hagiwara feel a little familiar. However, this was not the point at the moment. The two of them quickly focused and listened carefully to what the other person was saying.
"We have found the bomb. I will take a picture and send it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kenji Hagiwara heard his cell phone ring. He turned to look at Jinpei Matsuda's reaction and saw that he was also looking at his cell phone. Apparently, the police officer in charge of communications had sent the photo of the person who called the police to the cell phones of everyone present.
"Have they opened the outer shell?" Seeing the photo of the bomb that looked like a bird's-eye view, Hagiwara Kenji's eyes twitched. He felt that the person who called the police was very brave. Judging from the voice, he should be a young man in his early twenties (you guys are quite brave too!).
"Brother Kong, there are still twenty minutes!"
A childish voice suddenly rang out, and Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but want to complain, why is there still a child? !
So 20 minutes means...
"Oh, the bomb is going to go off in twenty minutes. Can you guys come quickly?"
Should we say that the person who called the police, who was called "Air Brother", was calm or careless, as he could remain so calm even though there was a bomb next to him that was about to explode in 20 minutes.
Hagiwara Kenji exchanged glances with the team leader, and when he saw the other party nod, he immediately said:
"We can make it, no problem."

At this time, the Shinkansen has been stopped and the train crew is evacuating the crowd. Noel and Conan, who were the first to discover the bomb, are sitting in the lounge with the train conductor. The black briefcase on the table is opened, and the bomb with its outer casing removed is placed inside, flashing a dangerous red light.
"OK, it looks like the bomb disposal police will be here soon." Noel hung up the phone and made an OK gesture to Conan, who finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But it's really no problem. Even if we rush here at full speed, we still need time to defuse the bomb..." Thinking of this, Conan became a little nervous, but then he thought that if it really doesn't work, he can defuse it himself, so it's not too bad. I just don't know if he can hide it from Brother Kong this time...
"Don't worry, he drives very fast." Noel heard the last sentence most likely from a certain uncle's mouth, and thought of the fact that he had the honor of driving the other man's car three years ago, so he said with certainty.
"Brother Kong, do you know him?" Conan asked doubtfully. After all, even though he had known this Natsukawa Kong for some time, his understanding of him was still too shallow. As a detective, his curiosity made him not miss any opportunity to study this mysterious person.
"I had a bad relationship with this uncle..." Noel thought for a moment and replied, which made Conan fall into deep thought.
Uncle? But he sounded very young just now, is he actually quite old? From the tone of Kong Ge, it seems that he has a complicated relationship with this person...
Noel's mood was even more complicated. The existence of Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda was already a huge trouble. Not to mention the butterfly effect that the people who were supposed to be dead in the original work would have on the plot, just the relationship between the two and the main characters was already a headache for Noel, especially since they were the same generation as Xiaoguang. Although their status was not as high as Zero's childhood friend, it would be too dangerous for Xiaoguang to come into contact with them...
Besides, he wasn't sure if these two would also be wiped out by the world if they were involved...If these two were fine, Xiaoguang might not be in as much danger as he thought.
But does this count as using them as an experiment? If Xiao Guang knew...
"Brother Kong?" Conan asked in confusion when he saw Noel was silent for a moment.
"Mr. Train Conductor, are you feeling better?" Noel changed the subject and looked at the pale-faced conductor who had been sitting in the corner since a while ago, and asked kindly.
"Fortunately..." The train conductor said weakly, and then he heard the other side say doubtfully:
"As a train conductor, your mental quality is somewhat poor."
Conan, who was standing next to Sora Natsukawa, even nodded, seeming equally confused.
The train conductor suddenly became furious. He couldn't help but want to yell and kick out the two ignorant people, one big and one small. However, he gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger because he had to deal with important matters.
Recall the scene when I just saw these two people five minutes ago.
As the conductor of this train, he was conscientiously arranging work today to ensure the safety of the passengers. After finishing a period of work, he took a rare break and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
“Boom boom boom—”
The short and urgent knocks on the door showed the impatience of the person outside, but before he could say anything, the door was suddenly pushed open with a loud noise.
"Bang——"
Then, a man holding a black briefcase walked in and said in a cold voice: "I have a bomb in my hand, don't tell anyone."
The man's height of more than 1.8 meters and his cold expression made the conductor realize that he was not a good person. His years of experience made him want to press the emergency alarm on his waist, but he suddenly heard the other side say:
"I have called the police."
Are bombers this self-aware these days?
Of course, with Noel's explanation... and mainly Conan who followed closely behind, the conductor finally realized that the bomber would not bring a child to blow up the Shinkansen, and the three of them sat peacefully in the lounge.
The experienced conductor quickly arranged to stop the train and evacuate the crowd. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw two people, one big and one small, placing the bomb on the table while calling the police, and then dismantling it...
Unpacked...?!
The train conductor felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His whole body became as stiff as a statue, and his face turned pale instantly. Then he sat in a corner for the next few minutes, trying to reconnect his mind.
So you two are so scary and you blame me?!
No one knew about the intense emotional fluctuations of the train conductor, who took it all on his own silently.
"Speaking of which, did you forget something?"
"Ran!" Conan finally realized that he hadn't said a word to Ran, so he just called out and met Noel's gray-green eyes.
"Brother Kong, my cell phone is out of battery. I want to call Sister Xiaolan." Conan gave Natsukawa Kong a flattering smile, completely unaware of how pitiful he looked.
"Yeah." Seeing Conan's guilty and cute mode, Noel resisted the urge to touch him and threw the phone to him. He watched Conan anxiously call Xiaolan and kept apologizing, feeling the peaceful time of the comic book plot. Suddenly, he saw Conan turned his head to look at him and handed the phone to him with an unhappy face.
"Hello, Brother Kong?" Xiaolan's voice came from the other side. The gentle female voice was full of worry at this time.
"Xiaolan"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Conan."
"It's okay. This is all thanks to Conan." Noel said as he looked at Conan's expression. He found it funny to see that he looked a little guilty, but he finally suppressed his evil humor and said:
"He's very smart, don't worry."
"But it's really too dangerous for him to stay here. Let's take him out first." Noel suggested after comforting her for a few words, which immediately attracted Conan's dissatisfied look.
But this is the most appropriate arrangement. After all, the bomb is about to explode. As the first person to discover it and an adult, Natsukawa Sora has already fulfilled his greatest responsibility as an ordinary citizen by staying beside the bomb and waiting for the bomb disposal police to come. It would be absurd for Conan, a child, to stay here.
"Wait, Brother Kong, I--" Conan immediately refused. He naturally wanted to see the bomb being dismantled with his own eyes, and if the police really didn't arrive in time, he would dismantle it himself.
This won’t do. Just to be on the safe side, I’d better not let you meet those two. Noel thought as he looked up at the conductor and said:
"Mr. Train Conductor, may I ask if you can..." Before Noel could finish his words, a huge car engine noise suddenly came from outside the window, and the sound became stronger and stronger as it got closer.
Soon, a police car stopped precisely at the window of the lounge where Noel was. A police officer with half-long hair in police uniform quickly opened the car window and jumped into the lounge. He was followed by another policeman with black curly hair, who also jumped through the car window skillfully.
Conan subconsciously looked at his watch. Only seven minutes had passed from the time he hung up the phone to the time they arrived.
