Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 107: Invitation from a Companion

In other words, they must find the criminal as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.

After walking out of the ramen restaurant, Qinghai Chuantang received a call.

It was a call from a friend on the street.

"Have you found it?"

"Yes. Since there was no criminal case, it was treated as a traffic accident. Just in case, I also looked at the investigation materials and did not find anything suspicious. But."

"but what?"

There was a moment of silence on the other side. "The autopsy results showed that the deceased was pregnant."

When Natsuko Kiyomatsu was very young, her parents divorced.

The mother she lived with died three years ago.

In other words, she didn't have any family members at the time and didn't even know who the father of the child was.

Just in case, Qinghai Chuantang asked him for another favor.

There are 53 minutes left before the explosion.

Somewhere in the amusement park, a door was quietly opened a crack, but then quickly closed.

There were three middle-aged men sitting in the room, wearing heavy doll costumes.

"How long will that guy Mitsuto wait before he is willing to hold a press conference?"

Jiang Jiao sighed, "Maybe our ideas are too naive."

The two looked at him.

"Our threats may not even mean a thing to that guy."

"In that case, why do we still do this kind of thing?"

Just as Zhusheng finished speaking, the door suddenly opened and several men in suits rushed in.

"We are the police. We have now investigated the crimes of intimidation and obstruction of business, and we ask you to assist in the investigation."

The three of them huddled against the wall in an instant, trembling, as if intimidated by their momentum.

"Don't, don't come here!"

Kuroki raised the phone in his hand, "If you come any closer, I'll detonate the bomb!"

"Please don't compound your crimes."

A gray-haired man in a suit walked into the room with Qinghai Chuantang.

He lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to meet their eyes.

But after seeing the man, Kuroki's face showed anger and he shouted, "Santo!"

He looked as if he wanted to cook the other person into clay pot rice.

"The motive for the crime was probably patent infringement."

"You have successfully developed a high-performance screw. However, the research and development data was stolen by a man who often came in and out of the factory, and the factory was even burned down."

Dreams and hopes, all were taken away by the mansion.

And all the things that originally belonged to them were taken away.

"Mr. Mito."

Qinghai Chuantang looked at the man beside him, "This should be the truth, right?"

"Wait, wait a minute!" Mito Shinsuke looked at the three people, "I will pay the patent fee! So, please stop creating chaos!"

"Shut up! I will never forgive you!"

Kuroki picked up the phone and seemed to want to enter the password to detonate the bomb.

"That's it for now."

Qinghai Chuantang looked at the three people and said, "The screws used in that Ferris wheel were made by you. If you press the button, your pride will disappear."

Kuroki's expression was moved for a moment.

"Now, please recall once again the pride you felt when you persisted in creating prosperity for your country."

Kuroki sat on the bench and wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves.

Megure Juzo walked over and picked up the phone in the other person's hand.

"What's the code to shut off the bomb?"

"1964."

After entering the string of numbers, Megure Jusan pressed the confirm button.

The plot did not go as imagined.

According to the explosive ordnance disposal team, the power was not shut off.

"How could this be?"

Kuroki was obviously a little surprised, with tears on his face.

There are 20 minutes left before the explosion.

"Sure enough, there is someone behind this."

The three Kuroki were only instigated by someone to carry out this incident, but they did not know the identity of the other party.

The bomb on the Ferris wheel must have been replaced.

After answering the phone call, Qinghai Chuantang was finally able to confirm the real murderer.

Conan looked at her and asked, "Is that the one?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded.

"There's not much time left, we have to hurry."

On the iron frame opposite the Ferris wheel, a man was looking at it from afar.

He looked down at the time on his watch and moved closer.

"The real murderer must be you."

"do not come!"

Takada Hiroshi turned the phone screen towards them, and the interface on it was exactly the same as what they had seen before.

Only this time, it really has the ability to detonate a bomb.

"Why do you know it's me?"

"When you first called, I already knew something was wrong."

Conan looked at him, his hands often in his trouser pockets, and narrated everything calmly and steadily.

"At that time, you were not among the people who knew that the bomb was caused by a mobile phone."

"I suppose your motive is revenge?"

Kiyomatsu Natsuko initially dated Otaku.

Da Zhai, who was appreciated by Shinsuke Mito, was persuaded to marry the daughter of the president of a client company.

Oya believed that the existence of Kiyomatsu Natsuko would be an obstacle to his marriage with the president's daughter, so he killed her.

"Mr. Takata."

Qinghai Chuantang took a step forward and said, "You are Miss Qingsong's biological father, right?"

His cell phone case is exactly the same as the cell phone case of Natsuko Kiyomatsu in the photo seen before.

In order to confirm this fact, she asked her friends in the underworld to investigate, and finally got a positive answer.

Yingtian Hao looked at the phone case and unconsciously smiled faintly.

"After I divorced my wife, she never let me see my daughter again. After my wife died of illness, my daughter came to see me immediately."

To his surprise, they worked in the same company.

After that, I would go out to dinner with her every month.

During a meal, Natsuko Kiyomatsu told him that she was pregnant.

"A week later, she died."

"It's impossible for her to drive recklessly while she's pregnant."

So Hiroshi Takada felt that it must be the mansion that killed her.

And he swore that he would find evidence.

Finally, he heard the conversation between the two people in the car and recorded everything.

So they used this bait to lure Dazai to the amusement park and threatened him to ride the Ferris wheel which was equipped with a bomb.

"Mr. Takada, please think about this carefully. If you continue like this, there will be people like you who will be extremely sad because of the loss of their family members."

Takada Hiroshi's face was covered with tear marks and his lips moved slightly.

"Shut up!"

He yelled, "Can you understand how I feel?"

Qinghai Chuantang did not answer, but approached him silently, reached out to hold his left hand holding the phone, and pressed it gently.

"I can understand."

Yingtian Hao looked at her, his eyes filled with deep, indelible sorrow.

Seeing this, Conan immediately ran over and took the other person's phone.

Anxiously yelling: "What's the password!"

"There is no such thing. The bomb was set to explode at sunset."

Now, there are only three minutes left, and there is no time to defuse the bomb.

"So, it's a time fuse, right?"

"Eh?"

Qinghai Chuantang immediately ran towards the Ferris wheel.

"Hey--"

The explosive ordnance disposal team tried to stop her but failed.

Climbing the ladder, she finally arrived at the location where the bomb was placed.

After opening the lid, he took out a multi-purpose knife from his pocket and unscrewed all four screws on it.

"Eh? Isn't that Sister Xiaotang?"

With Yuantai's reminder, everyone looked down and saw that it was indeed her.

With 20 seconds left in the countdown, the power finally went out.

She successfully cut the wire.

"Sister Xiaotang!"

The children shouted excitedly and waved at her.

Qinghai Chuantang smiled back.

He opened his mouth and seemed to say something.

"Strange, what did Sister Xiaotang say just now?" Ayumi was very confused.

Huiyuan Ai looked at her and clearly understood what she wanted to express——

Even if it costs my life, I will take you home.

The control equipment finally returned to normal and the people trapped on the Ferris wheel were finally rescued.

At this time, it was already dark.

When the hatch door opened, Da Zhai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to come out, but found someone blocking the way.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way."

Qinghai Chuantang didn't say anything, but just pushed him back and closed the door again.

Then he looked at the people in the control room and said, "Please."

"Hey, stop! Stop, stop now!"

Da Zhai yelled, "Put me down now, I can't hold it anymore!"

For such people, her behavior can be described as "too tolerant".

"Hey, Sister Xiaotang?"

Qinghai Chuantang was stunned and looked down at him.

She thought that the other party would blame her for something, and she was even prepared for it.

"Can we become companions?"

He held out his hand with an expectant smile on his face.

Qinghai Chuantang smiled slightly and also extended his hand. However, it was not as imagined that the two of them "shake hands and make peace".

She flicked her head lightly.

Although the force was obviously not very strong, the other party still screamed in pain on purpose and pretended to be pitiful.

It seemed to be telling how he had just committed a heinous crime.

"Do you think I have fallen to the point of becoming a companion of a little devil?"

Everyone has their own pride, and so does she.

If you choose to become a partner, you may become a member of the red team and take orders from Conan.

She doesn't want it.

"but."

Conan blinked, looking forward to the other party's next words.

“We are partners.”

Just like, the relationship between friends and between good friends is different.

The former can be called a friend even if you have only met three or five times.

The latter, however, requires a long time to settle.

Precious.

"Really?" Conan was a little confused and even a little crazy, "Why are you so obsessed with 'partners'?"

If we say that at the beginning, Conan's impression of her was rather bland.

Then the other party's performance today made him feel that it coincided with his own thoughts.

Maybe some people just like to pretend to be like a hedgehog.

In fact, like a hedgehog, it has some soft spots.

A kind person at heart cannot hide his true nature even if he pretends to be a bad person.

This is Conan’s latest understanding of Qinghai Chuantang.

Qinghai Chuantang smiled and stretched out his finger to make a gesture of silence.

"That's a secret."

But her past experiences have made it difficult for her to trust someone again.

To exploit or to be exploited is the norm in life.

But this does not mean that she is willing to be exploited, although this is inevitable in life.

"Are you still going to say, 'Secrets make women more feminine'?"

Conan had already started teasing her.

"What about this?"

Qinghai Chuantang actually pretended to think about it seriously.

"I'm not a secretive person, and that's not my motto."

"What's your catchphrase?" Conan asked curiously.

Qinghai Chuantang smiled.

"My catchphrase is—"

My name is Qinghai Chuantang, and I am a profiler. Of course, you can also call me a liar.

"Even if it costs my life, I will take you home"
