At this time, the members of the Junior Detective League who were taking the Toudou Loop Line to return to Beika Station did not realize that they were in danger. Conan Edogawa, who was sitting next to them, was a little absent-minded. When he received a call from Sosuke Takagi, he had an ominous premonition.
"Hey, Brother Yingsi?"
"Kudo, please answer the phone in a deserted place. I have an important question for you."
"Okay." Edogawa Conan glanced at the Junior Detective Team beside him, smiled and said, "I'll go over there and call Brother Yingsi. I'll be back soon!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya folded his arms across his chest, looked at Conan who ran to the next car, and said with narrowed eyes:
"Really? Conan is too attached to Brother Yingsi."
"But I feel that Conan and Touji-san have a very good relationship. I'm a little envious." Yoshida Ayumi pouted, but for a moment she didn't know whether to envy Conan or Touji-san.
After all, one is the person I like, and the other is the older brother I admire.
Kojima Genta, who was kneeling on a chair and admiring the scenery along the way, felt something was strange. He turned to look at the two people beside him and asked:
"Hey, don't you think this is a little strange? We're almost at Beika Station, but why does it feel like the train is going even faster than before?"
"Hmm? Now that you put it that way it seems to be true."
Just as Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the train broadcast. It was not a reminder of the upcoming arrival of the station, but something that made all the passengers feel uneasy.
"Dear passengers, please note that due to an emergency, this train will not stop at the next station, Beihua Station. I repeat, due to an emergency, this train..."
Kojima Genta heard the broadcast, frowned, and slashed at the two people beside him, asking:
"Eh? An emergency? But if we don't stop, we won't be able to go home, okay?"
"Although we don't know what happened, we have to trust the conductor. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought of the remote-controlled plane that exploded before, and clenched his hands tightly. He glanced at Conan who was answering the phone with a serious face in the next car, and he had a rough idea in his mind.
The train was most likely rigged with a bomb, and that's probably what the sudden accident means.
At this time, Conan Edogawa, who was standing at the connection between the next carriages, clenched his back teeth. He did not expect that the bomber would be so cruel that he actually installed a bomb on the Toudou Loop Line.
With a strong sense of justice, he felt a surge of self-blame, but it was quickly suppressed by a sense of responsibility. He took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Brother Takashi, I've investigated quite a few cases as Kudo Shinichi, but the one with the greatest impact was probably the case involving the mayor of Nishitama City. You should still remember it, right?"
"Are you referring to the case of Hitoaki Okamoto, the hit-and-run?"
Fujiwara Yuu had a deep impression of Okamoto Hitoshi and his son, Okamoto Hirohei, as they were implicated in the Yamada case. However, both father and son were already in prison: the father, Okamoto Hitoshi, received a seven-year sentence, while his son, Okamoto Hirohei, received a three-year sentence for perjury. Clearly, their release was impossible.
"Well, that case still has a great impact on society. After all, he is the mayor of Nishitama City."
"But the Okamotos are still in prison, so we can only investigate from the people around them. Kudo, leave this matter to me, and you should worry about the other matter... Remember to tell her that I may not be able to be there."
"Okay, Brother Takashi, I'll leave this matter to you." Edogawa Conan also knew that he was not suitable to be involved in this matter. If the news that Kudo Shinichi was still alive spread, it would be disadvantageous to everyone.
He hung up the phone and returned to his carriage, only to find that the passengers in the carriage all looked unhappy. Some even uploaded videos to social media platforms, asking if something had happened on the Dongdu Ring Line.
Just as the passengers were puzzled, the train announcement sounded again:
"One more announcement: This train will not be stopping at any stations for the foreseeable future. Also, if you find anything suspicious on board, please do not touch it and notify the conductor immediately."
Because they were not sure where the bomb was placed, in order to prevent passengers from touching things they shouldn't touch, they had no choice but to make the announcement and all the crew members came to the carriage to maintain order.
"Hello? Could the suspicious object be a bomb? There was an explosion in Green Park just now!"
"No way! Planting a bomb on the train will definitely kill me. The police can't come up to defuse it. Where's the conductor? Let me off the train! I don't want to die!"
"Are you kidding me? You're not stopping the car when there's a bomb? I'm not going to die with you. I want to get off!"
Some emotionally excited passengers even wanted to open the window and jump out of the car. Seeing this, Edogawa Conan quickly ran forward, hugged the other person's legs tightly, and shouted:
"Uncle, don't be impulsive. The police will definitely keep us safe. If you jump down like this, you will definitely die! What are you still standing there for, come and help!"
After reacting, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima rushed forward to pull the uncle back. The children's actions also made the adults around them realize that jumping off the train would not solve anything. All they could do now was to cooperate with what the conductor said and believe that the police would definitely rescue them.
"Wow—I don't want to die—"
However, the child who was attending nursery school started crying loudly, and the crying was like a relay race, causing the children in the entire train to sob, which made the adults around them feel uneasy again.
Conan Edogawa was in a state of panic. He had finally managed to pull the man down from the car, but now the child was crying again. Just as he was at a loss, Ayumi Yoshida pulled out a Kamen Rider card from her pocket, walked up to the crying child, and shook it vigorously a few times.
"Hehe, little brother, do you want a Kamen Rider card? You can have it if you don't cry!"
"Really?" The child who was still crying stopped crying immediately after seeing Kamen Rider's rare gold card. He blinked his big eyes and asked expectantly.
"Of course, sister won't lie!" Although Yoshida Ayumi felt sorry for the cards she had collected with great difficulty, as a member of the Junior Detective League, what she had to do now was to calm the passengers down and try to maintain order.
Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked at each other, and quickly took out the cards they had collected and distributed them to the crying children. As a result, the three of them sang in unison and coaxed all the crying children in the carriage.
Conan Edogawa also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the three members of the Junior Detective League.
It turns out that only children understand children.
