Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Should I get involved in this incident?

The second wave of bombs should have been at Mikasa Hospital…

After thinking for a moment, he decided to take action.

After all, he is inextricably linked to this situation. There are many elderly people, pregnant women, and children in the hospital; they are innocent.

not to mention…

Longye glanced down at Xiaolan, who seemed to notice his gaze and returned him a bright and warm smile.

"Damn, is kindness contagious?"

...

Late night

Longye secretly arrived at the entrance to the Ferris wheel that had been there that morning.

Using their danger perception skills, they successfully located the bomb's location.

As in the original story: one is in the control room of the Ferris wheel, and the other is in cabin number 72.

It's unclear what story this prisoner has with the Ferris wheel and the number "72".

"Could it be that you confessed your feelings here before and got rejected? Are you that petty?"

Even though he had changed part of the plot, the bomb was still planted in that spot.

He used a wire to unlock the cockpit door and found the bomb under the seat.

After removing the bomb's casing, he stopped, staring at the black screen in front of him.

Hmm...maybe we should try to see what's on this screen.

If it's different from the original story, and the second location isn't Beika Hospital, then wouldn't I look like a big grudge?

"System, is there a way to see the content that has already been set on this display screen?"

There are two methods.

[1. Purchase a one-time-use special bomb disposal tool from the item shop for 5 Destiny Coins.]

[2. Purchase the A-grade Electronic Device Decryption skill from the Skill Shop for 10 Destiny Coins.]

Chapter 23 Matsuda Jinpei's Story (Part 1)

Upon hearing the system's suggestion, Longye immediately opened the skill shop.

We found the A-level skill that the system just mentioned—electronic device decryption.

Its capabilities are simply described as follows: [It can hack and control independent electronic devices.]

Longye immediately spent 10 Destiny Coins to exchange for this skill.

In an instant, his mind was filled with a wealth of hacking knowledge about electronic devices.

After a few simple steps, scrolling text finally appeared on the screen: "Brave police officer, I must commend your courage..."

Finally, a few useful words appeared—"rice flower center".

It seems that Beika Central Hospital was the right choice.

After dealing with the bombs here, we'll go to Mika Hospital to deal with the bombs there.

As for the criminal who caused him to fly around in the middle of the night looking for the bomb...

……

The next morning

Metropolitan Police Department First Investigation Division

Officer Shiratori, holding a fax, walked towards Inspector Megure by the window: "Inspector, we've received another strange fax this year."

"Really? Did they only write down one number again? What number did they send this year?" Inspector Megure asked, his hands behind his back, seemingly used to it.

"No, no! This time it's a code."

After Officer Shiratori finished speaking, he glanced nervously at Inspector Megure, and then read aloud the contents of the fax:

“We are a group of Knights of the Round Table, all you foolish and cunning cops take note.”

"At noon and 14 PM today, we will use the heads of our comrades as the sparks to ignite our celebration."

"If you're so capable, then come and stop us."

"We will leave seat number 72 vacant and await your arrival."

The conversation between Inspector Shiratori and Inspector Megure aroused the curiosity of everyone around them, and they all gathered around.

After listening to Officer Shiratori's account, everyone pondered quietly for a while, and the classroom instantly fell silent.

Soon after, Inspector Megure broke the rare silence: "What does this mean? Does anyone have any clue?"

"..."

"Inspector, I don't think this might be a prank!"

“Every year, the numbers on the fax will decrease by one digit, like a countdown.”

"And there are no numbers yet this year, so perhaps... the criminal will make his move this year!"

Officer Sato lowered his head and voiced his guess.

After hearing Officer Sato's speculation, Inspector Megure frowned.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "It's not impossible! Sato, you guys continue to follow up on this matter, I'll report it to my superiors."

"Yes!"

After speaking, Inspector Megure walked to the phone and dialed an internal number: "Chief, this is Megure. Just now..."

A moment later, he hung up the phone.

Turning to the entire group, he said, "The section chief believes this is not a simple prank. The sender is very likely connected to the explosion four years ago."

"He has already requested assistance from other departments, and he has told us to start the investigation now."

"Everyone who doesn't have a case right now, come over here!"

"Yes!"

The group gathered around Inspector Megure and began to discuss the matter.

Shortly after, a call came in from the landline, and Inspector Megure answered it immediately.

"Yes, I understand."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Inspector Megure put down the phone: "The section chief has contacted the security department, and they also believe this is not a simple prank."

"Next, we will work with the Security Department's mobile unit to handle this case."

"Everyone, assemble in the meeting room immediately!"

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, everyone perked up and immediately stood up straight: "Roger that!"

……

At the same time, inside an old house.

After disguising himself, Long Ye sat sprawled on a chair, staring menacingly at the bomber who had been bound like a mummy.

He spent a whopping 5 Destiny Coins to get the system to help him find this damned guy! 5 coins!!

"I'm going to show you today why flowers are so red!"

Ryūno grew angrier the more he thought about it, so he kicked the bomber in front of him and said mockingly, "We're a bunch of Knights of the Round Table? You're quite cultured, aren't you?"

"Ugh! Ugh!!!"

The bomber on the ground stared in terror at the unfamiliar man before him, making incomprehensible sounds through his mouth, which was stuffed with a towel.

Ten minutes earlier, he was about to drive to Beihu Department Store to see his masterpiece in person.

It allows him to avenge his comrade and expose the hypocritical police officers.

Would they risk their lives to find out where the next bomb will explode?

Faced with death, should one save oneself or save others?

Hmph, he'll make those cops pay!

But he lost consciousness as soon as he touched the car door. When he opened his eyes again…

Looking at the stammering prisoner in front of him, Longye continued to tease, "Oh, I almost forgot. I've gagged you with a towel~"

After saying that, Longye looked at the clock on the wall; it was already ten o'clock.

He stood up, looked at the prisoner on the ground, and said, "It is fate that we meet. The weather is nice today, so I will take you to ride your favorite Ferris wheel."

Upon hearing this, the prisoner broke out in a cold sweat, his body writhed, and he kept groaning in pain.

At this moment, Longye took out the black cat mask he had just bought from the system and put it on his face.

Then he pulled out his gun, pointed it at the prisoner's head, and whispered, "Shh~ Keep your voice down. Otherwise, you'll be saying goodbye to this beautiful world right now~"

The prisoner glanced at the dark muzzle of the gun and immediately quieted down, letting Longye lift him into the car.

Longye opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

He touched the steering wheel and, for some reason, suddenly felt a strong urge to drive fast.

He remembered that his driving skills came from Kenji Hagiwara.

In the original work, Kenji Hagiwara is a racing fanatic, and it is said that he taught Rei Furuya his driving skills.

Could it be... that this thing also has a lineage?

"How could that be?" Longye shook his head with a smile.

Let's give this prisoner a "wonderful experience" that he'll never forget.

With that thought in mind, Longye released the clutch, slammed on the accelerator with his right foot, and drove toward Beika Department Store.

As the cars flashed by, the prisoner in the passenger seat subconsciously glanced at the speedometer.

"Huh? Where's the speedometer needle? Eh? It's hit the bottom?!"
