Chapter 243 Thirty-seven Gachapon
When Inspector Megure rushed to the scene, he first saw the detective squatting at the door of the crime scene and talking to the child. The two of them noticed the movement and looked over at the same time, putting on the same "innocent face".
Inspector Megure: "...Why are you here again, Furuya-kun and Conan-kun?"
For a moment, he looked as if he had a toothache.
Since the first time he met these two people at the crime scene two months ago, Inspector Megure has no idea how many times he has met them at the crime scene. Every time it's either Detective Furuya or Conan, which made him suspect that these two people either had bad luck or were too brave and always got at the center of the case.
However, having such a powerful detective around is really convenient for the police to advance the process of solving cases. Moreover, neither of them is a high-profile person. They just solve the case quickly every time and never take the initiative to accept interviews. This allows the Metropolitan Police Department to avoid being found an excuse to be discredited by the media again to some extent.
Well, even though the media likes to discredit them, they are used to it. Who likes to be scolded? So after all this operation, most people in the Investigation Division actually like these two young detectives.
Inspector Megure was just helpless that they always met in such dangerous places. He couldn't help but start thinking whether he should recommend the detective to take Conan to the shrine to worship more often one day, to pray for evil spirits and protection...
"The deceased is inside, let's go in first." The detective stood up straight, as if he didn't hear Inspector Megure's complaints, nodded to the police officers whose faces he had become familiar with, and took the initiative to lead the way inside.
A group of people swarmed in. Inspector Megure, who was walking in the front, raised his eyes and was almost blinded by the incandescent light. At the same time, he saw people standing around the operating table. One was Detective Amuro, whom he had met briefly at the crime scene before, and the other was probably Detective Amuro's friend. On the operating table behind the two was the deceased who was found this time.
Inspector Megure took a breath, and even at the serious crime scene, his eyes became half-mooned: "So Furuya-kun is here to play with you guys, Amuro-kun... Could this gentleman also be a detective?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was indeed not a detective, twitched his lips and shook his head to deny: "I just happened to know the detective, so we came here to play together."
Inspector Megure relaxed a little: That's great, the cursed detective team finally had no new members.
"If you're just here to play, you four are really unlucky." While the other subordinates were dealing with the bodies, Inspector Megure, who was following the detective, lowered his hat and made a casual complaint.
Due to the angle, Inspector Megure could only see that the two people opposite him fell silent with complicated expressions after he said this, but he could not see the expressions of Akae Natsuki and Edogawa Conan who had their backs to him.
"Well, I may not have made it clear on the phone before." As if he were really an ordinary second-rate detective with many part-time jobs, Amuro Toru pinched his face awkwardly, and his originally complicated expression naturally turned into helplessness, "In fact, it wasn't the four of us who found the body."
"Hmm? Any other witnesses?"
The person who answered the phone this time was Hikaru Midorikawa, who had introduced himself before. He explained awkwardly but politely, "Officer Matsuda was the first to discover the bomb, but it may not be convenient for him and Officer Hagiwara to come over now... They are defusing the bomb near the exit."
"......?" Officer Megure was confused. Sato and others who could hear their conversation were also confused. "Wait a minute, this Officer Matsuda and Officer Hagiwara, could it be that..."
Morobushi Kagemitsu: “…Yeah.” He nodded with difficulty.
"They should be the two people the police officer was thinking of. In fact, there are six of us out here to play this time." He pretended that he didn't understand the question marks on the faces of the police officers around him, and spoke as calmly as possible.
This combination of theirs is really strange, especially the fact that the five adults didn't take a good rest or go on a date on the holidays, but brought a little boy to the amusement park to play. This kind of thing is really speechless when it comes out.
Zhufu Jingguang understood, so Zhufu Jingguang pretended that he didn't understand.
This way the job of explaining can be left to the two people who are not present.
"No, what about bomb disposal? There are still bombs here?" Inspector Megure realized the seriousness of the situation, his expression became serious, and he asked anxiously, "I didn't mention this on the phone before. The mobile team..."
"Before the police arrived, my brother and Mr. Amuro checked the place a little bit. Almost just now, Officer Hagiwara found a time bomb in the room further inside." This time, the young detective who was caught by his brother and not allowed to run away was in charge of explaining. He pushed his black-framed glasses and said, "Because there was not enough time to wait for the bomb disposal team to arrive, they went to dismantle it first."
Inspector Megure's stomach ached slightly. He seemed to have been feeling 'shocked' and 'confused' all day. He managed to remain calm and repeated the last sentence: "They went to tear it down? They didn't take any safety measures and just went to tear it down?!"
Okay, not calm at all, but compared to the other serious police officers, Inspector Megure is indeed the calmest one.
Conan could understand their nervousness. Even if they had superb bomb disposal skills like Matsuda and Hagiwara, it was impossible for them to defuse the bomb with their bare hands without any worries, not to mention that there were so many people in the haunted house. If there was an accident, everyone would die. This was something the two bomb disposal elites should not have been unaware of.
"...Inspector Megure? Of course he used bomb disposal tools." Conan turned into a dot-eyed boy.
Officer Megure was already full of questions. He looked at the three adults and one child around him with a strange look, and tried to be as tactful as possible... but couldn't be more tactful: "You guys, you brought bomb disposal tools with you when you came to the amusement park?"
That's a good question.
The three of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the detective who was being led by Conan and seemed to be distracted, and the other people who didn't understand what was going on also looked over there.
Among them, Morobushi Kagemitsu's expression seemed to be saying, "What on earth happened in these seven years?" Since he learned the detective's true identity, this is the first time he has had an extremely strong desire to explore the detective's seven years of experience.
Because at that time, Hagiwara, who had gone to investigate, came back with a grim expression and told them that he had found the bomb, and the countdown would soon be over, and they would not be able to catch up with the time it took for the bomb disposal team to get here from the Metropolitan Police Department, so they had to defuse the bomb themselves first.
Originally, Conan thought that Officer Hagiwara's ugly expression was because of the appearance of the bomb and that they did not have complete tools on hand, until he heard that they needed to defuse the bomb, the detective pondered for a few seconds.
The detective then pulled a small portable bomb disposal kit from his bag.
The silence in the room was more terrifying than any time before. The first sound was made by Kenji Hagiwara, whose ugly expression completely disappeared and turned blank.
He seemed to have been hit hard, and began to talk nonsense: "I understand, Detective-chan is also a kind of Doraemon in a sense..."
Conan was speechless and choked: Wake up, Officer Hagiwara! You can't really treat Yue Ge as Doraemon just because his name has three A's! !
At that time, Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was still within the range of normal people, expressed the same confusion as Inspector Megure: "Detective, why do you carry bomb disposal tools with you?"
Unlike the others who didn't carry any bags, the detective always had a small bag slung across his shoulder. But they actually thought it was an empty bag that the detective wore for fashion. No one thought there was really something inside... and it was this kind of thing!
After hearing this question, the detective's face darkened for a second.
"Don't you think there are too many bombs in Tokyo?" he said politely. "Carry them with you, just in case... After all, I have defused ten bombs in two months."
There was a moment when Jinpei Matsuda really wanted to laugh out loud in schadenfreude.
Then, under the detective's gloomy gaze, he remembered that he was an elite bomb disposal officer of the mobile team. When the detective needed to defuse bombs, he often just needed to defuse more.
His happiness was gone!
Although Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara didn't say much about the bomb, nor did they explain why they were acting weird, and the other people didn't make a fuss about it either, the most important thing now was the case and the safety here.
Who knows if the criminals only installed bombs in the haunted house, or everywhere in the amusement park? Based on this guess, they contacted the park staff before the police arrived, and they are now investigating and monitoring with the cooperation of the public security hidden in the crowd.
As for the public security, it was naturally Amuro Toru who temporarily transferred them here for some purposes.
In response to Officer Megure's inquiry, the detective did not give the previous answer, but yawned lazily, with physiological tears hanging from the corners of his eyes: "So, having said so much, can we start solving the case first? The two people on the bomb side are enough. I think it is better to solve the case here as soon as possible and do more important things."
Morofushi Kagemitsu withdrew his complicated look, and with the corner of his eye he noticed that Amuro Toru's expression was a little strange.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.
The blond policeman shook his head and also shifted his gaze away from Chijiang Nanyue.
"No, nothing, I was just distracted for a while." Amuro Toru said after a few seconds of silence.
He recalled the content of the email he had received from Rum a few minutes ago.
【RUM: Bring Kalua back to me. 】
When Toru Amuro saw the news, his eyebrows jumped and he suppressed his conditioned reflex to look at the detective.
Kahlua, sweet coffee wine, is also the detective's social account nickname. He previously thought it was just a coincidence. After all, the detective is indeed like a severe coffee addict, no matter seven years ago or now.
But now it seems that it is not a coincidence.
Rum's reply was hasty, with an undisguised tone of urging: [The detective you are monitoring today is a traitor to the organization, a code member who disappeared seven years ago. He was once directly under that gentleman. He had many titles but they are all in the past seven years. In short, I need you to bring him back, no matter what method you use, regardless of the cost. Hurry up, Bourbon, Timeismoney! ]
Amuro Toru took a deep breath and thought rapidly.
……first.
How does Rum know that he is with Aka now?
