The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

Lin Zhiren was indeed a little hungry, so he sat down at the table without any hesitation.

Professor Agasa's eating habits are irregular; he is often so engrossed in his experiments that he forgets to eat.

Even when they eat, it's mostly snacks, instant noodles, and hamburgers.

After Ai Haibara moved in, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she took over the kitchen and cooked the meals herself.

Although she is small in stature, her cooking skills are three levels above Professor Agasa's. Her dishes are not only nutritious, but also delicious and visually appealing.

Dr. Agasa is bursting with happiness.

Naoto Hayashi picked out his favorite foods and ate a few bites, then his eyes lit up.

Wow, that's impressive cooking! It seems geniuses learn everything quickly.

At the dinner table, Ai Haibara casually asked about Naoto Hayashi's situation these past few days, and Naoto Hayashi sighed.

"I encounter cases every day, I'm incredibly busy."

Ai Haibara, recalling the live television broadcast she had seen yesterday, nodded and said, "Indeed, you guys even managed to stumble upon a case during a live television broadcast."

Is this bad?

Naoto Hayashi suddenly remembered Sonoko's invitation and casually asked, "In a few days, Sonoko invited Ran to her family's ski resort, and she also invited me and Mr. Mori. Conan will definitely be going too. Ai, do you want to come along?"

Ai Haibara was quite tempted; she had never skied before.

Her childhood was almost entirely controlled by the organization, and her life revolved around studying, research, and surveillance, with very little personal freedom.

Skiing... was a luxury for her.

However, thinking about her current situation, she became somewhat depressed: "Never mind, you guys have fun by yourselves. My research on the antidote for the drug has recently reached a critical juncture."

Naoto Hayashi understood her feelings and nodded, saying, "Then forget it, let's wait until things calm down. By the way, you and Professor Agasa should stay home for a while. Someone is planning a bombing, it's very dangerous outside."

Dr. Agasa muttered to himself in surprise.

Ai Haibara was startled and looked up at Naoto Hayashi, silently asking: Is it our organization that's causing trouble?

Naoto Hayashi shook his head slightly: It has nothing to do with us.

Ai Haibara finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew far too little about her own imperial organization.

Is it because I didn't show enough value?

It seems we need to expedite the research and development of an antidote, even if it only has a temporary effect, it should still demonstrate our value to the organization!

Sigh. They couldn't even get funding; the organization is far too stingy.

Naoto Hayashi glanced at her, sensing that the girl was thinking about something inappropriate again. After a moment's thought, he decided to change the subject by talking about Conan.

"Oh, right, something funny happened. Isn't it Shinichi Kudo's birthday in a couple of days? So Ran is planning to invite him to a midnight movie and personally give him his birthday present... haha."

Ai Haibara asked in surprise, "Conan agreed? Are you planning to let Ran go?"

Naoto Hayashi laughed and said, "Who knows? Conan must be worried sick."

Ai Haibara smiled slightly, but then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

After having a full meal, Naoto Hayashi finally loaded the computer equipment into his car and took it home.

That evening, Naoto Hayashi intended to try programming on his new computer, but after trying a few old games, he accidentally became addicted.

When he came to his senses, it was already dawn.

Looking at the brand-new computer, Naoto Hayashi fell silent for a moment.

What's the difference between me and those who buy iPads? Productivity before buying, iQiyi after buying?

The game misled me!

Starting tomorrow, I'll quit... um...

It's best to limit your gaming.

I can't completely quit.

With great willpower, Naoto Hayashi shut down the computer, stood up, and stretched.

Wash up, exercise

Then head to the Mori Detective Agency.

However, when he arrived, he found that only Conan and Kogoro Mouri were in the office, and Ran was not there.

"Is Xiaolan not here?" Lin Zhiren asked casually.

Kogoro Mouri said with a displeased look, "She went shopping with Sonoko, and then said she was going to see a movie with that detective kid tonight, and it's a midnight showing... Damn it! If that kid dares to do anything to my precious daughter, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Naoto Hayashi was somewhat surprised. So it was today?

Is a big explosion about to happen?

Chapter 91 The Bomber's Fancy Challenges

Once it was confirmed that today was the day of the explosion, Naoto Hayashi calmed down.

He then turned to look at Conan and found the kid looking conflicted and distressed.

Naoto Hayashi grinned mischievously, "Conan, when did your Shinichi brother come back? He didn't even tell us... He's been busy with a tricky case, hasn't he?"

Conan's eyes narrowed to a deadpan expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

You dog.

You're not happy unless you say something sarcastic to me, are you?

Are you really my friend?

With your attitude, you expect me to go with you to scare the suspect?

Dream on!

However, he was in no mood to talk back and was worried about what to do that night.

Ran insisted on watching a movie with "Shinichi Kudo" so he could personally hand her her birthday present.

What should we do?

To meet in this child's body?

Ugh! This is so annoying!

Why did you have to watch a movie?

I really wish I could just blow up the movie theater.

Suddenly, the phone on Kogoro Mouri's desk rang.

Kogoro answered the phone and heard a hoarse electronic voice coming from the other end.

The electronic voice was extremely clear in the quiet office.

Conan and Naoto both perked up their ears.

"Hehehe, is that Mr. 'Sleeping Darkness' Kogoro Mouri? Your performance on the live TV yesterday was brilliant. So, the reason you refused my commission was because of this performance that was broadcast nationwide."

Kogoro frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? What commission did you say? Also, my nickname is 'Sleeping Kogoro'!"

[You won't admit it? No problem. I originally wanted to challenge high school detective Shinichi Kudo, but he's disappeared. So, I'll challenge you, the 'Sleeping Darkness,' instead.]

Kogoro was getting impatient, especially with the name "Shinichi Kudo" making him even more annoyed.

"What are you talking about? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

[Wait a minute, Detective! Let me introduce myself first. I'm the one who stole explosives from a Japanese gunpowder depot. And I've already turned the explosives into bombs and planted them in several locations…]

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri jumped up, utterly astonished.

First, to prove I'm not lying, I'll detonate some bombs and randomly blow up some buildings, as a test of their power. Please witness it.

"Wait! Hello... hello?!"

Kogoro Mouri wanted to ask more questions, but found that the other party had already hung up the phone.

How despicable!

Kogoro Mouri immediately called Inspector Megure and told him what had just happened.

However, just as he finished speaking, he faintly heard an explosion in the distance.

Kogoro approached the window, his expression grave. "Inspector Megure, did you hear that? It sounded like an explosion... That person probably wasn't playing a prank."

The faint sound of Inspector Megure's stern voice could be heard on the other end of the phone, ordering his men to investigate the situation immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Kogoro Mori stared anxiously out the window, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

However, soon after, Inspector Megure called again, asking Mori to come to the Metropolitan Police Department immediately to assist in the investigation of the bombing.

Naoto Hayashi immediately went downstairs, got in the car, and took Kogoro to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Of course, Conan also sneaked onto the train. By the time Kogoro Mouri realized it, it was too late, and he couldn't just abandon him halfway. He could only hope that the kid wouldn't cause him any trouble.

Upon arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, I found it in a state of chaos, with many officers rushing around and phones ringing incessantly.

Inspector Megure led the group to a meeting room and closed the door with a solemn expression.

“Brother Mori, it has just been confirmed that four explosions occurred in Beika Town at the same time: at the Mizushima family residence, the Yasuda family residence, the Akutsu family residence, and the Kurokawa family residence.”

"No connection has been found between these four houses yet. Perhaps the perpetrator just acted randomly? Fortunately, the explosion only damaged the houses, and the people inside suffered at most minor injuries. No one has died so far."

Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "This guy is a madman. What exactly does he want?"

Inspector Megure was also somewhat troubled, saying, "It's hard to fathom the mentality of these kinds of people. Perhaps they simply want revenge against society? Brother Mori, that bomber will probably call again soon. I hope you can find out some clues."

"no problem!"

Just then, Naoto Hayashi's phone rang.

It is an unknown number.

After the call connected, it was indeed that electronic voice: "Is this Detective Mouri's assistant, Mr. Lin? Please let Detective Mouri answer the phone."

Naoto Hayashi immediately turned on the speakerphone.

Kogoro Mouri slammed his hands on the table, leaned over, and yelled, "Hey! You bastard! What do you want to do?!"

[Detective Mori, after the explosion just now, you must believe I do indeed have a bomb, right? Now, the real test begins.]

[Listen carefully, I have planted five bombs on the Tokyo Loop Line. Starting at 4 PM today, the bombs will detonate whenever a train travels at a speed below 60 kilometers per hour. Furthermore, the bombs will also detonate if they are not defused by sunset.]

Keep cracking the code, detective!

The call was disconnected.

Inspector Megure turned pale with fright and immediately contacted his superiors to report the latest developments in the case.

Then, the Tokyo Railway Bureau was notified and it was strictly required that from this moment on, all trams running on the Tokyo Loop Line must not stop and their speed must not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour!

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri and Conan were racking their brains, trying to figure out how the culprit managed to control the explosion based on speed.

Conan nervously bit his fingernails.

Is it a mechanical inertial triggering device?

Or is it an electronic speed sensor?

Or perhaps the bomb was connected to the tram's control circuitry?

But something still feels off...

And what exactly was the perpetrator's purpose in doing this?

Is it just to challenge the famous detective Kogoro Mouri?

What grudge could possibly warrant such a grand confrontation?

Did Uncle Mori dig up your ancestral grave or burn down your house?

If the case isn't solved and the bomb explodes in the end, Uncle Mori's reputation as a famous detective will probably be greatly diminished...

Perhaps this is their purpose?

Naoto Hayashi was also pondering the other party's intentions.
