The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 131 The bomb exploded!
Conan looked up at the time and felt a little anxious.

Only thirty minutes left.

Thirty minutes later, the train will arrive at Nagoya Station, and then the train will stop for fifteen minutes, which means that I have a total of forty-five minutes.

If all the electrical signals came from the front of the car, countless possibilities flashed through Conan's mind, but each one was like an invisible rope, getting tighter and tighter.

Which one should I cut? Or at least which “threads” should I cut?
Unless I have the instrument operating instructions for the acceleration power system that the train conductor mentioned...

But now I have no reason to go——

Then he saw Xiaolan carrying a maintenance manual for the train's power system and placing it in front of Conan.

Although she was still unsure whether Conan was Shinichi, Conan's suspicious actions since he got on the train and his anxious expression made Xiaolan feel that -

Conan must be doing something important!
And if Conan is really Shinichi, then it is very likely that there is a bomb in the car!
So, after hearing the questions Conan kept asking the train conductor, Xiaolan went to the maintenance engineer under the pretext of letting Conan be quiet for a while and got his maintenance manual.

"Conan? I went to the train maintenance staff and got the blueprints for the acceleration system you mentioned earlier!"

Her eyes lingered on Conan's joyful expression for a moment, and Xiaolan tapped his forehead with her finger.

"Now that you've got the manual you like, Conan, be good and don't run around. I have to go help Sonoko set up the scene for Kidd when we get to the station."

Now finally no one could focus on Conan, as Conan carried the "Acceleration System Operation Manual" into the small tool room at the back of the control room.

If we only look at how to cut off the acceleration system's electrical signal control of other parts without affecting the train's operation...

Conan looked at the watch on his wrist anxiously and gritted his teeth. There were only twenty minutes left before arriving at the station.

There should still be enough time.

But the fact is, Conan no longer has the ability or time to get the truth about the bomb.

Not only are those complex terms and circuit diagrams difficult to understand and analyze, but more importantly -

"Where's the little detective who agreed with my reasoning?"

For Suzuki Jirokichi, compared to the two detectives Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro who argued with him.

The kid named Edogawa Conan who supports his own reasoning should obviously be one of the audience who witnessed him catching Kid.

So 5 minutes before the train arrived, Conan was "invited" to the center of the VIP car.

Conan has now made up his mind.

If Kidd doesn't take action within the first three minutes after the train arrives at the station, he will confess to Xiaolan that his true identity is Shinichi Kudo.

After making this decision in his heart, Conan felt inexplicably relieved.

This way, no matter what, no one will get hurt in the end.

Then he saw Hattori Heiji, who had just gone out with Sato Akiji to scout for any suspicious activities, walk into the carriage.

That person is one of the policemen who are tracking down the "Science Frontiers" organization. If he chases them here, it means that there are people from the "Science Frontiers" organization in the carriage now!
In other words, Kaito Kidd is actually in the carriage now.

Conan quickly made a judgment that he must contact Kidd before Hattori Heiji found Kaito Kidd, and the original plan emerged in his mind again.

If I could get Kidd to admit that he had planted a bomb in the car, I wouldn't have to be exposed!

Which of the three waiters is Kaito Kidd?

In this solemn and serious atmosphere, Nagoya Station arrived.

As the announcement of "The train has arrived at Nagoya Station" rang out, all the electronic clocks on the train simultaneously displayed the number "6:30," and all the clocks in the seventh carriage pointed in the same direction...

As the collections placed on the left and right sides of the Dusk Wedge, and as the gently shaking pointer became steady, the pointer held by the goddess of fate pointed to the door leading to carriage number two.

Suzuki Jirokichi was standing in the safe in front of him. Amidst everyone's exclamations, he lifted the lid of the safe, allowing the last ray of sunset light to pass through the "wedge" in the center of the gem.

Then, the door leading to the second carriage was opened, and the thief that Suzuki Jirokichi had been thinking about, dressed in a white suit, a white top hat and a monocle, bowed gracefully towards the interior of the carriage while being chased by a dozen train police officers.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a smoke bomb quickly flew into the air.

With a loud bang, thick smoke quickly spread in the VIP carriage.

"Everyone, don't move!" Sato Akira's voice rang out through the thick fog. "I checked the moment I opened the door. There are only train security guards outside. There's no way Kaito Kidd can escape!"

The spread of smoke apparently triggered the train's alarm system. At the moment when everyone's vision was completely obscured, a hand had already reached out to the gem.

When the smoke cleared, the gem and the pointer in the hand of the goddess of fate disappeared.

"I saw the hand that took the gem! It was Uncle Masahiko!"

Conan's voice rang out in the carriage, and everyone turned their eyes to the butler standing in the middle of the carriage.

Apart from the shocked expression on Conan's face, the carriage was still shrouded in a thin layer of white mist. The words just now were not said by him!
"What? Masahiko is Kaito Kid in disguise!"

Hattori Heiji immediately figured out the key point. There should be another person who came up with Kidd. In this way, Mr. Suzuki’s butler was most likely replaced when he went out to set up the camera!

The Kidd standing at the door, being chased by the flight attendant and throwing smoke bombs is the fake one!
Heiji and Sato looked at each other, and he immediately ran in the narrow carriage.

"Tell me! Where is the real Masahiko hiding?!"

Suzuki Jirokichi reacted immediately. The 72-year-old man immediately pounced on the butler standing next to him with an angry look on his face.

"Kaito Kidd! I finally caught you this time!"

Masahiko's throat was tightly gripped by Suzuki Jirokichi, and his voice was a little broken as he struggled to refute. "No! It's not me, sir! I really am Masahiko!"

Suzuki Jirokichi's forceful actions forced Masahiko to resist vigorously. In the chaos, he began to struggle, and under the cover of fog, it was as if two figures were wrestling on the carpet of the carriage.

For Sonoko, who ran to the door because of Kid's appearance, she only saw her uncle seemed to be pinned to the ground by Kid, and was about to snatch the gem from Suzuki Jirokichi's hand.

correct!

Sonoko realized something in an instant and immediately turned around and ran to the locker.

Faced with the chaotic situation under the smoke, Suzuki Sonoko fumbled to take the sword bag off the hook on the cabinet door, and then she threw the sword of decision that she had just bought to Xiaolan who was standing near the front of the car.

"Xiaolan! Go ahead! Hurry up and help uncle catch Kidd!"

At the same time, as Butler Masahiko was explaining and struggling, "clang!" With a slight sound, a palm-sized gem and a bead fell out of Masahiko's pocket at the same time.

"Ding--"

Violent flashes of light and buzzing sounds rang out inside the narrow carriage, even because it was so close to the gem called "Wedge of Dusk".

The strong flash of light passed through the gem, and it was not even the sunset sun that spread out, but the scorching sun at noon.

Conan now knows who the real Kid is. He is the waiter who was adjusting his bow tie before and is now running to the control room!
The Kidd at the door of the carriage must be an illusion created by the mechanical dummy made by Kidd.

After framing Butler Masahiko with the Twilight Wedge and laying an ambush with a flash bomb, he was about to take advantage of the chaos and leave with the real pointer!
Conan recalled Kidd's most common method of creating chaos -

Power outage.

The moment the flash bomb sounded, Conan closed his eyes and ran towards the control room based on his memory.

"Kid! There's a bomb in the car that exploded due to a power outage—"

"what!"

Then a familiar scream made Conan open his eyes and follow the source of the sound.

Xiaolan, who had just run to Uncle Jiroyoshi, couldn't help but scream. Her vision completely lost focus at this moment, and the flash stung her eyes.

The sword in her hand fell back to the ground.

"Xiaolan!"

Conan has never been so panicked——

Because she was close to Xiaolan, who was hit by a flash bomb, her body was shaking and she was about to fall towards the tip of the Sword of Decision that was leaning against the seat.

Because out of the corner of his eye he saw the waiter running to the dashboard in the control room and extending his hand.

Conan's heart stopped at that moment, and the scene before him seemed frozen in time.

Save Xiaolan...

Or save everyone else in the vehicle?

Just a moment of hesitation, and everything was too late.

For Kuroba Kaito, looking at the power-off button in front of him, he knew that what he had to do next was the last step in the plan.

Don't let me down, Kudo Shinichi, if you are really a detective...

With a "click", the power to the train was cut off.

Every moment that followed felt like an eternity.

In that long moment, Conan truly decided for the first time what future he wanted.

He fixed a "reasonable" ending.

For Conan, at the last critical moment, he finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

He pressed the button of his foot-strengthening shoes and then kicked hard at the hilt of the sword that had fallen to the ground.

The air was even cut by the acceleration of the sword blade when it was kicked by the sneakers, and all the glass in the car was even shattered by the shock wave generated by the sonic boom.

Just like what Dr. Agasa said——

"This shoe literally launches the football like a missile."

Just like in the anime, in the darkness, the precious sword called "Sword of Decision" transformed into a stream of light and, like a sharp sword, pierced the inside of the glowing red power system dial with unerring precision.

"boom!"

Electricity and sparks burst out in an instant, and with a deafening explosion, flames and black smoke immediately filled the entire front of the train and the VIP compartment.

Conan even felt a wave of heat suddenly hit him, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and scorched metal.

But the silver lining is that——

The blade of the sword accurately cut off the lines to the subsequent carriages and the bombs at the bottom.

Only the bomb on top of the car exploded.
