The Black Detective of the Detective Conan World

However, he already knew that the other party's goal was not to blow up the tram, but to blow up the building.

So, should the bomb be installed on the bridge or the railway track?

The so-called tram speed is actually a smokescreen, designed to make people focus on the tram itself and ignore checking other parts of the tram.

If we work backwards like this, then the bomber probably had two targets.

One method is to buy time so that the asymmetrical building can be demolished eventually.

Secondly, it diverts the attention of the police and Kogoro Mouri, allowing him to achieve his real goal—blowing up the Beika City Tower!

You should know that he had previously called me and mentioned the request to "explode the Mihana City Tower".

Now that he has been carrying out a series of bombings, which seem unrelated on the surface, it is easy for people to think that he is just a madman who randomly chooses bombing targets.

This will definitely confuse his real target for the explosion.

Furthermore, even if Kogoro Mouri still suspected the Beika City Tower, there wasn't enough police force to conduct a search and bomb disposal operation.

It's a huge complex building, with the main structure over 200 meters high, more than 40 floors above ground and three floors underground.

In addition, there are numerous ancillary buildings.

With the Metropolitan Police Department's manpower focused on inspecting the Toto Circular Line trams, they certainly wouldn't have the manpower to inspect the Beika City Tower.

However, on the other hand, the amount of explosives needed to blow up such a huge building is far more than what was stolen.

The bomber has neither the capability nor the need to blow up the entire Beika City Tower.

Only a portion needs to be blown up.

For example, the annex building where the cinema is located, Miwa No. 1 Cinema!

Chapter 92 HC01

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department's conference room.

Seeing that Xing Shuai was still struggling to think, Lin Zhiren decided to help them speed up their progress.

He approached Kogoro Mouri and began to persuade him with words.

Soon, Kogoro Mouri and Conan had a flash of inspiration and realized that the bomb was most likely installed on the railway track!

The detonation device is a photosensitive sensor!

Soon, with a large number of people mobilized, the first bomb was found!

By 6 p.m., all five bombs along the East Metropolitan Circular Line had been located and defuse by professionals.

Crisis averted!

The Metropolitan Police Department was filled with jubilation.

The way everyone looked at Kogoro Mouri was filled with admiration and respect.

As expected of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!

Without him, this would have been truly dangerous.

However, some of the explosives are still missing, so we can't be too happy yet.

At that moment, Shiratori Ninzaburo, an elite detective under Inspector Megure, arrived to report that he had discovered a connection between several previous bombing cases!

The four exploded houses, and the Sumida residence where the bombs were placed, were designed by Teiji Moritani!

Inspector Megure immediately contacted Teiji Moriya, wanting him to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to assist in the investigation.

It turned out that this person could not be contacted.

Sensing something was wrong, Inspector Megure immediately led his men to raid Teiji Moriya's residence, where they discovered a large amount of leftover materials and traces of explosives, as well as instructions for making bombs.

This Moriya Teiji is actually a bomber?!

What horrified them even more was that they found a list that looked like a bombing target, and the Beika Metropolitan Building was on it!

……

Dr. Agasa's house.

After Naoto Hayashi left yesterday, Ai Haibara began conducting drug experiments.

However, she changed her approach this time.

The original idea was to conduct targeted analysis based on the special components that might be contained in Baijiu, and gradually test their effects on the human body.

This is used to create an antidote for APTX4869.

However, this method is obviously time-consuming and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

Therefore, Ai Haibara decided to reverse her thinking.

Since we can't develop an antidote, let's try to recreate the state Conan was in when he regained his body.

A severe cold plus a bottle of baijiu!

Researching an antidote for Drug A would be difficult for Ai Haibara, but researching a poison that could quickly induce a severe cold would be a piece of cake.

In one night and one day, Ai Haibara created this drug, which she named [HC01].

It means it's an abbreviation of the English phrase HeavyCold-01, which means "severe cold number 01".

One pill can induce severe cold symptoms within minutes, including headache, fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and general weakness.

Definitely a severe cold, effective for 4 hours.

If you drink baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor) during the medication's effective period...

However, this stuff has too much of a lingering effect, so Ai Haibara didn't dare to try it herself.

When the drugs were tested on mice, the mice sneezed and had runny noses, lying on the ground half-dead, in a pitiful state.

She planned to give this to Conan.

Let him decide whether or not to use it.

Naoto Hayashi mentioned during a meal that tomorrow is Conan's birthday, and today he faces an insurmountable challenge: going on a date with Ran to see a movie!

Ai Haibara felt that her relationship with Conan was somewhat strained.

That kid was always bothered by his identity as a "former member of the Black Organization," and was even quite wary of him.

During this period, Conan has rarely visited Professor Agasa's house.

This caused Ai Haibara some distress.

She wanted to form an alliance with Conan, but that kid is so hostile, what's the point of forming an alliance?

That kid was also an unreliable person, always appearing at various crime scenes disguised as a primary school student, and even drugged Detective Mori and impersonated him to solve cases.

That's too arrogant. They're not even going to pretend anymore?

In this way, he will be exposed sooner or later.

If that attracts the attention of the Black Organization, I might be implicated, and I don't know if the "Emperor Organization" can protect me.

In short, Ai Haibara just wanted to ease the tension between herself and Conan.

If she can help that guy get through the "watching a movie with Xiaolan" hurdle today, he'll definitely be grateful for her help.

Wouldn't that ease the tension?

In fact, regardless of whether this method is effective or not, as long as he wants to overcome this difficulty, he must accept his HC01.

Even if it turns out that the method doesn't work in the end, he will still owe me a favor, and he won't be able to treat me coldly in the future.

That's how mature an adult's thinking is.

Ai Haibara smiled slightly, as if everything was under control.

Looking at the time, it's already evening. I guess Xiaolan must be waiting anxiously at the movie theater by now.

Meanwhile, Conan was probably hiding in a corner watching Ran, anxiously biting his nails.

Hehehe, great detective, let me bring you a glimmer of hope.

I definitely can't let Professor Agasa help with this, otherwise I won't be able to get that kid to back down. I need to hand the medicine to him myself.

As for the probability of running into a member of the Black Organization when you go out...

Please, the place where those two went on their date was a movie theater.

I don't think members of the Black Organization would ever appear in a movie theater, would I?

Gin and vodka at the cinema?

The thought of that scene is unbearable.

It's better to think that the two of them will go to the amusement park and ride the roller coaster.

Ai Haibara couldn't help but chuckle.

Finally, I found a baseball cap to cover my brown hair, and then I took out a small backpack and put the HC01 medicine and a bottle of baijiu into the backpack.

I took a taxi and headed straight to Mihua No. 1 Cinema.

……

Mihua No. 1 Cinema.

This is a five-story building, an annex to the Beika City Tower. The fifth floor is a movie theater, and the four floors below are a shopping mall.

It was nearly midnight, and those remaining in the fifth-floor cinema lobby were mostly young people and couples preparing to watch a midnight movie.

Tonight's midnight movie is "The Legend of the Red Thread".

Unbeknownst to anyone, several men dressed in black and exuding an aloof aura were lurking in the shadows on each floor.

Even outside the movie theater, on a distant high-rise building, there were several sniper rifles aimed at this area.

In a corner of the fifth-floor cinema lobby, Gin and Vodka stood in the shadows, Gin with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes scanning the people entering the lobby.

Gin tapped the communicator in his ear and whispered, "Chianti, Cohen, have you noticed anything unusual?"

“No abnormalities. Are you sure the Assassin's Guild will show up?” Chianti’s voice came through.

Gin sneered, "Don't worry, they'll definitely come."

Cohen said in a somber voice, "Gin, are we really going to make a move in a place like this? There will be plenty of witnesses."

Actually, he put it very tactfully. The Black Organization's characteristic is to hide in the shadows and never expose itself. Anyone who is exposed will ultimately be silenced.

Gin exhaled a puff of smoke, squinted, and said, "That madman, Teiji Moriya, will clear the area for us... and all we need to do is kill that guy in their hands, and we'll win."

Cohen asked, somewhat surprised, "Does he want to die?"

"Ha, he's completely gone mad."

Gin didn't want to say more; no one could understand the mind of a madman.

He glanced at the movie theater lobby one last time and said to Vodka, "Okay, let's go."

The two of them came here to scout out the location beforehand.

He'll be sniping from a distance and waiting for the target.

Gin was always cautious, and he rarely put himself in dangerous situations unless he was absolutely certain of success.

And today... there's a vague sense of danger in this building.

Chapter 93 This place is full of members of the Black Organization!

A taxi stopped in front of the Beika City building.

Ai Haibara, holding her baseball cap, jumped off the car.

Looking at the brightly lit buildings in front of her, she felt a vague unease for some reason.

Perhaps it's because I haven't been to such crowded places in a long time and I'm not used to it?

Ai Haibara suppressed her unease, took the elevator, and headed to the fifth floor of Beika No. 1 Cinema.

However, the closer she got to the fifth floor, the stronger her unease became.

It was as if a radar started beeping in her mind. The moment the elevator doors opened, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
