In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 271: Putting the Carves Before the Horse (12)

Kuroba Kaito quickly arrived at the C-2 area.

Here, he saw that the collection room of the Moonlight Necklace that was originally here no longer existed.

The explosion site was in ruins, with the surrounding area filled with the ruins of the collection room left after the explosion.

Although Yuehua had long been stolen by Kuroba Kaito, this collection room had long been abandoned.

However, there were still a few unlucky tourists who were affected near Yuehua's collection room.

Those who were less seriously injured ran outside screaming.

Two of the more seriously injured have fainted and their life or death is unknown.

"What is going on...?"

'The necklace was gone, so why did it explode?'

"Was it Tsukino Takashi who did it? Or was it someone else?"

Kuroba Kaito widened his eyes as he looked at the slightly terrifying scene in front of him.

This exhibition seemed to be targeted by terrorists.

Not only did a sniper appear, but there were also two explosions.

He was just about to go up and check on the condition of the injured when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

It was Masumi Sera who was walking quickly in the front.
And Conan followed behind her.

Kuroba Kaito quickly gave up the idea of ​​going forward to check, and hurriedly hid in the crowd that was rushing outside in panic.

After seeing the scene here, Masumi Sera hurriedly quickened his pace.

She quickly ran to the two tourists who had fainted on the ground and checked their condition.

"Fortunately, both of them are still breathing."

"But this one's burns are more serious. Although his life is not in danger, he still needs to be treated as soon as possible."

Conan, who was standing by, had already taken out his cell phone and called the fire department to explain the situation.

When he hung up the phone, he glanced at the time.

"Kid, what's wrong?"

Masumi Sera saw Conan staring at his phone in a daze and asked.

"I checked my phone once before the explosion in Scarlet Heart's collection room. It was 14:27."

"Then Kaito Kid entered the collection room and unlocked the code of the display cabinet, and then the explosion occurred. This took about 3 minutes."

"Then when I heard the broadcast about the explosion in Yuehua's collection room, I looked at the time again and it showed 15:02."

"It takes one or two minutes from the explosion to the broadcasting room, so the second explosion occurred at 15:."

Conan said.

"Boy, you mean that the two explosions were exactly half an hour apart?"

"Yes."

Conan nodded.

"We originally thought that Kaito Kidd had triggered the explosion, but there was nothing in the collection room this time. I don't think there was any reason for the explosion."

"So, it is very likely that this bomb was not detonated manually, but the explosion time was set in advance, and the second explosion occurred half an hour after the first explosion."

Conan guessed.

"But, there's no pattern with just two explosions, right?"

Sera Masumi said.

“It’s like a serial murder case.”

"Generally, it takes three similar cases to be defined as serial murder." "Just two explosions do not prove that there is a pattern to this explosion."

Sera Masumi thought Conan's guess was a bit too arbitrary, but she heard Conan continue to say:

"But as long as there is such a possibility, we must do our best to avoid it."

"It will be too late to make amends after the explosion."

Sera Masumi also felt that what Conan said made sense, so he turned around and looked at Nakamori Ginzo who had hurried over, and said:
"Officer Nakamori, please evacuate all tourists immediately, especially those in Pavilion D."

"By 15:30, there is a possibility of an explosion in the D-2 area over there."

Ginzo Nakamori nodded seriously, and quickly stopped a staff member and asked her to contact the broadcasting room to make an announcement.

At the same time, he sent three police officers from the Second Investigation Division to venue D to assist in evacuating the crowd.

After taking the two unconscious injured people away from the destroyed collection room, Nakamori Ginzo sent his men to provide them with emergency treatment.

A moment later, the radio sounded again.

"All visitors in Hall D are requested to evacuate as soon as possible and do not stay in the hall."

"There may also be an explosion in Venue D, please stay away from the Dreamweaver collection room."

A familiar female voice rang out throughout the Tokyo Big Sight venue. It seemed that the staff on site had already contacted the people in the broadcasting room.

Several police officers from the Second Investigation Section were somewhat reluctant to face the collection room where an explosion had occurred not long ago.

They were just police officers in charge of economic crimes, and without any protective gear, they didn't dare to get too close to Yuehua's collection room.

"Really? What on earth are those guys from Investigation Section 1 doing?! Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but complain.
Then, we saw Sera Masumi walking straight towards the center of the explosion, where the original display cabinet had turned black.

"Ms. Sera, it's very dangerous there!"

Ginzo Nakamori shouted, and then he saw Masumi Sera ignoring his reminder and went straight there and bent down to check.

Masumi Sera discovered that the surrounding walls and the metal base of the display cabinet were blown to pieces.

The display cabinet that was originally used to preserve the moonlight was surprisingly intact.

Apart from the metal base at the bottom which had been severely deformed by the explosion, there was no obvious damage to the glass display cabinet.

"Sure enough, the glass of this display cabinet is very strong. It can't even be damaged by an explosion."

Sera Masumi muttered to himself.

Then Conan's voice was heard behind him:
"Yes, it was the same when the Scarlet Heart's display cabinet exploded. The glass of the display cabinet was not damaged."

"Then Kaito Kidd took out the gem from the bottom, and the gem was also intact."

"That is to say, the explosion would not have affected the collections inside from the beginning."

Masumi Sera sensed something was wrong.

"Before the exhibition started, Mr. Tsukino vowed that the security level of this exhibition would be very high."

“So when I saw that he used such high-strength glass to make the display cabinet, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.”

"But now it seems that the security of the collection is a complete mess."

"Then choosing such high-strength glass is really putting the cart before the horse."

This is like having enough money to replace the door frames in your home with aluminum alloy, but still using a wooden door that opens with a kick.

Now it seems a bit suspicious.

"Then I have a guess."

Sera Masumi said with narrowed eyes.

"Perhaps, the more important function of this glass is to resist explosions rather than to prevent Kaito Kidd."
