Chapter 245 Thirty-nine Gachapon
While Hagiwara was feeling emotional, Akae Nazuki rubbed her nose and felt like sneezing.
From his perspective, things are very simple.
The collision of this murder case and the bombing case was indeed a natural coincidence. Chi Jiang Na Yue had long guessed that Rum would take action. It would be better to say that he was the one who instigated Rum's action.
Of course, otherwise why would Vermouth mention him to Rum for no apparent reason? Conan said before that he saw Dr. Shinde messaging him, and they were talking about this matter at the time.
Akae Nazuki knew that Rum would not remain indifferent after learning the news of "Kalua", so when he saw Hagiwara's expression was not right, he thought that Rum had done something.
It is not difficult to guess that the bomb that could cause Hagiwara to have such a reaction was related to Rum. In Akae's own world, Rum also tried to replicate the incident in which the two bombers attacked Hagiwara and his companions to stimulate him.
Even though Rum had succeeded that time, he didn't learn the news until Jinpei Matsuda died.
Even if it is not the same world or the same Rum, now new hatreds and old grudges are piled up together.
Chi Jiang Na Yue thought, that's great, this time he would remember to leave Rum with a breath to facilitate the police's illegal interrogation, otherwise he would be like the Rum in his world who was blown to the sky by a breath of air...it would still be a bit of a loss.
As for the two bombers, to be honest, Chi Jiang Na Yue never took them seriously at all. Since they were dead a long time ago, what was the point in remembering them?
But even if those things had not happened in this world, the bombers would have been caught by Kaluuya seven years ago, and Akajinazuki was not going to let these two bombers run wild again.
It's nothing, he just holds a grudge, a very grudge.
That was why he was not going to leave this case for the young detective to practice on as he had done before, but instead he took the initiative to solve it quickly, giving Matsuda, who was also furious, some time to defuse the bomb so that he could calm down a little, while also solving the case before the bomber was let go.
When Hagiwara's call came into Inspector Megure's cell phone, Akae Nazuki realized that Hagiwara should have found the bomber, and coincidentally, he had also solved the case.
The detective leaning against the wall stood up straight, stretched, hung himself on the shoulders of Morobu Jingguang beside him, and then slowly flowed down like a boneless cat.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's pupils trembled, and he subconsciously reached out to stop the detective who was sliding down, and then showed a helpless expression.
When they were in the police academy, Chijiang would not have so much physical contact with them. Even if that person really accepted them, he would not show it, as if he would lose if he relied on them.
Facing the current detective, Morobushi Jingguang feels that he has finally realized his wish seven years ago - it feels really good to be relied on by such an independent classmate Akae.
He pretended not to notice the shocked look from his little girl.
It wasn't him, it was the cat. No, it was classmate Akajiang who started it first, zero.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you guys. The criminal who planted the bomb probably didn't go far. We can find him quickly based on the appearance in the surveillance video. Before that, it's best to contact the park to evacuate the tourists." The detective pulled at Morobu Jingguang's arm, looking listless. "After all, they planted bombs in more than just the haunted house."
The detective finished speaking, and before anyone else could ask further questions, Matsuda Jinpei's voice was heard at the door.
"He's right." Matsuda Jinpei had taken off his coat at some point and was draped over his arm. He put his other hand in his pocket and was about to push his sunglasses up when he remembered that they had been taken away by the detective. So he pretended to be calm and just wanted to rub his hair. "When I was defusing the bomb, I saw the display screen showing the location of the next bomb."
[The closest place to the stars], these are the original words on the display.
"Planetarium? You can indeed see the stars there during the day." Inspector Megure guessed, stroking his chin and thinking for a moment.
"No, it's not the planetarium." Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath, "It's the Ferris wheel."
The other party is talking about the "closest" place to the stars. What's in the planetarium is just a projection. If you have to compare it, only the top of the highest track of the roller coaster and the top of the Ferris wheel can be described as worthy of this description.
"Yes, I asked the staff to check the surveillance footage, which also shows that the two people also went to the Ferris wheel, the oceanarium and the roller coaster. They should be near the haunted house now." The voice of Kenji Hagiwara was also heard from Inspector Megure's mobile phone.
When Conan Edogawa was thinking about where the bomb would be installed, he looked up inadvertently and saw the detective's expression.
He noticed that when Matsuda Jinpei mentioned that the bomb was installed on the Ferris wheel, the detective's breath was unstable for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the curly-haired police officer, but he looked away when the other party looked back.
So weird, let's take another look. Why does Yuege look like he wants to have a fight with Officer Matsuda?
"Then let's split up and look for the bomb," Amuro Toru mused, then took the initiative to suggest, "Midorikawa and I both have some knowledge in this area. We may not be able to defuse the bomb before the officers from the □□ handling team arrive like Officer Matsuda did, but we can still help with some safety measures."
"I'll go too." The detective nodded and walked towards Toru Amuro.
Inspector Megure wanted to say something, but when he thought about how the detective had basically become a frequent visitor to the Metropolitan Police Department during this period of time, and how he was always dealing with □□... He finally chuckled twice, sternly reminded them to pay attention to safety, and lent out his outstanding subordinates so that they could cooperate in finding the bomb.
At this moment Conan suddenly remembered something for some reason, and before Inspector Megure and others arrived, the detective half-knelt beside him and had a conversation with him.
The detective looked at the ground and asked him, "Do you think that the most important thing that forms the bond between people is shared memories?"
"Huh?" Conan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the detective was talking about not remembering the memories of when he and Matsuda were friends, so he thought for a few seconds and shook his head, "Not entirely. Memory is only part of the bond. Even if there are no shared memories, as long as it is still that person, new memories can be created."
He said to the detective earnestly: "I believe that the bond between people will not be forgotten just because the memory fades."
Just like even if the detective has forgotten his own name and his life in the police academy, Conan can still find traces of Matsuda Jinpei and others on the detective. The fact that they are friends does not disappear just because of the detective's amnesia.
The detective was silent for a moment.
"If one day, I disappear from your life, will you come to find me?"
Conan's brain buzzed, and he subconsciously grabbed the detective's hand.
He couldn't understand why the detective asked this question, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger. But when he looked into the detective's eyes, the deep red pool of water immediately calmed Conan down.
At first glance, the detective's physique is on the thin side among normal men in their twenties, and few people know that underneath his clothes lies a body with extremely strong explosive power.
Conan once saw with his own eyes the detective rolling up his sleeves and beating away a robber who passed by and tried to kidnap his child. The arm that sometimes served as a pillow for his nap was tense with smooth muscle lines at that time.
At seven years old, Conan couldn't completely hold the detective's left hand with both hands, but he did it anyway.
"No." Conan said firmly, word by word, "I won't let you disappear."
He breathed heavily, trying to cover up any abnormality in his voice: "But...but if that really happened, then Brother Yue..."
Conan - Kudo Shinichi said decisively: "I will find you, no matter where you are, I will find you, and then be the first one to find you."
"You promise?"
The serious aura around the child disappeared, his blue eyes half bent in silence, and then he stretched out his little finger: "Okay, I promise, do you want to make a pinky promise?"
It was as if their identities were switched at this moment, and for a moment it was unclear who was the reliable older brother and who was the insecure younger brother.
However, they didn't really make a pinky promise in the end, because at that time Inspector Megure and his team arrived, and the detective seemed to have forgotten what he had just said to him and started solving the case naturally.
Now they were about to leave, and Conan's first reaction was to follow the detective, but he was stopped by a hand.
"No, you're with Inspector Megure and the others, Conan." The black-haired, red-eyed man bent down and ruffled Conan's hair. Before leaving, he gently pulled the tuft of hair that fluttered behind his head. "This case has not been completely solved yet... If we don't hurry over to stop the murderer, there will be a second death."
...cannot be refused.
This was an excuse that Conan Edogawa could not refuse, because he really could not allow the murderer to kill a second person knowing the circumstances.
But if Conan really had to let the other person leave alone, he couldn't help but feel uneasy just thinking about it, as if something he absolutely didn't want to see would happen if he did that.
The detective didn't move, just looked at him calmly. Although his tone didn't urge Conan, he couldn't move his feet: "Although I haven't made a pinky promise with you yet."
Chijiang Nayue narrowed her eyes and smiled: "But I believe you can do it, right?"
The child lowered his head, his expression could not be seen, only his voice could be heard.
"Yes," he said calmly, "I will do it, so could you please not--"
"——Detective?"
Conan was forced to swallow the second half of his sentence. He was interrupted by the voice of Toru Amuro: "We should go now. Officer Matsuda is going to the Ferris wheel. Let's go to the aquarium first, shall we?"
Conan tilted his head and looked over, and his eyes crossed with Amuro Toru's in mid-air for a few seconds.
It was not until the blond man and the detective disappeared from his sight that Conan belatedly let go of his hand, realizing that he had just broken out in a cold sweat.
So scary.
He thought: Mr. Amuro... No, Bourbon's look just now was so scary! Could it be that he was going to attack Yue Ge? !
