Chapter 58 Jumping off the car and setting the schedule
There are still ten seconds before the bomb explodes.
If nothing is done... everyone here will die in ten seconds.
Conan squatted down anxiously, turned on the switch of his foot-strengthening shoes, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the briefcase, intending to kick it out of the window.
"..." Although Gin said that the bomb would be detonated by "violent vibrations". This might also include "being kicked" or "hitting the window"... but there is no time now, so we can only take a gamble.
However, Conan risked his life with a kick, but missed.
——A figure in black passed through the corridor. When she passed the briefcase, she leaned over slightly, picked up the bag and walked away as if nothing had happened.
That series of actions was so natural, so graceful, and so confident that the crowd subconsciously made way for her.
After two seconds, the flight attendant realized something was wrong.
They didn't know that the briefcase would actually explode, so they quickly chased after Anonymous, the little thief who was passing by: "Wait! Please put down someone else's bag!"
…
At this time, Anonymous had already walked to the car door.
She ignored the people chasing after her, holding the bomb in one hand, raised the other hand, and activated the emergency valve device with a "click".
Then pull the door open with force.
The train was running at high speed, and strong wind rushed in, blowing the puppet's black skirt all over the place.
Fortunately, as a criminal who robbed a bank, Akemi Miyano didn't forget to consider practicality while loving beauty. She added some design to this skirt, so that the hem would not go above the knees, which was even more crazy than safety pants.
…
Jiang Xia also remembered the setting that "the bomb will explode 10 seconds after dialing."
He was driving the puppet, calculating the countdown to the explosion in his mind, while turning his head from the door to look at the gazes from the entire carriage. He was very satisfied with the situation.
- In this way, if you randomly catch an insider to ask about today's situation in the future, what they will remember will only be "Miss Anonymous stole the bomb and destroyed the organization's plan", rather than "some innocent psychics passing by are destroying their old boss's plan."
…
It was completely different from Jiang Xia's good mood.
In the crowd, the short-haired woman who lost her briefcase was very anxious.
——In her opinion, the bag contained precious information that she had spent 400 million yen to buy.
She looked at Anonymous, who was standing by the car door and looked like he would fall at any moment, and shouted in a panic, "Give me the bag, we can discuss the rest. You can tell me what you want!"
Conan also anxiously reminded: "Hurry up and throw away the bag! The bomb is about to explode!"
As soon as the words fell, the car door turned the intersection point.
Jiang Xia let go of the hand that was holding the car door.
He adjusted the actual weight of the puppet and secretly used the hem of his skirt to adjust its direction, allowing the puppet to fly out of the bridge like a kite, erratically yet gracefully, and fall downwards.
——"Jumping something with a bomb" is like "Can't look back at the explosion" and is a romantic achievement that must be earned if there is a chance.
Moreover, in this way, the puppet can perfectly avoid subsequent questioning and record-keeping, saving a lot of trouble.
The people in the car stared in a daze as Anonymous fell out of their sight.
Immediately afterwards, a huge ball of fire exploded from under the bridge.
…
…
A few minutes later.
Due to the sudden explosion, the Shinkansen was urgently stopped.
Amid the commotion, Jiang Xia stopped pretending to be asleep and opened his eyes in his seat.
Then, they met two apologetic gazes.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked at each other for a moment and sighed in frustration - they had originally come to Jiang Xia to relax. Who knew that before they even got there, they would encounter this kind of incident again.
Although they were not present at the time, they heard that a man jumped out of the car with a bomb and no protection.
The police were unable to find the body because there was a river below the crash site and the hero might have been washed away by the water.
Mao Lilan was even more frustrated.
——There were quite a few passengers who witnessed the jumping off the train. The incident was quickly exaggerated and spread around the train, accompanied by various lamentations of regret.
Therefore, not long after the incident, Mao Lilan heard that the deceased was a very kind woman wearing a black dress and a sun hat of the same color, who cared about the world and was full of holy light. When she was not smiling, she looked like the most perfect marble sculpture, and when she smiled, she looked like an angel descended to the earth.
Although the last few are a bit abstract... but when it comes to the black skirt and the sun hat of the same color, Mao Lilan's mind immediately emerges the beautiful sister who helped her stop Conan.
Such a good person is gone just like that... When Mao Li Ran thought of this, she felt sad and covered her face with a handkerchief.
The other people in the car were also silently remembering the stranger who saved them.
Although questions like "Why didn't they just drop the bomb and stay in the car?" would occasionally pop up, such questions, upon closer thought, seemed to be a blasphemy to the victims, so in the end no one raised it and the group of people just concentrated on observing a moment of silence.
…
The police arrived quickly and the short-haired woman was taken away for investigation.
Before leaving, she tearfully asked the police to continue fishing for people in the river, even if there was only a dead body, so that people could rest in peace. She also said that if the person who jumped out of the car had no family, she could pay for his burial.
