Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

But now that he's in this state, he's managed to come out and let everyone know his true identity.

Zhiyong then said to Conan, "Conan, I know you must have learned a lot of reasoning from Shinichi Kudo. You are very talented in this area, and I think you will definitely become an excellent detective when you grow up. However, when you learn Shinichi Kudo's strengths, don't learn his weaknesses as well."

"No way, Shinichi is such a great strategist, what flaws could he possibly have?" Conan said, trying to sound cute.

Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Kudo Shinichi treated him like a savior. Just like this incident, if you had notified Inspector Megure earlier and let the police handle the case, it wouldn't have gotten so dangerous. You almost lost your life. Moreover, this incident has had a huge negative impact on society."

Kogoro Mouri also said, "Yes, this is extremely dangerous. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your parents? Moreover, if we're not careful, many people could die if the bomb isn't handled properly."

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "Just as Sato said, Conan, you did very well this time, but it was still too dangerous. The theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot had already caused unease among the citizens, and with these two explosions, many citizens have called to complain. Now we are under a lot of pressure."

……

Chapter 118 The bomber called again.

"Conan did a good deed this time, why are you all criticizing him?" Ayumi said, standing up for Conan.

Yes, yes.

"Yes."

Gentai and Mitsuhiko also echoed.

"This isn't a criticism of Conan. You're all still young, and there are many things you can't handle well. If you encounter something like this, you should inform an adult as soon as possible. If the bomb hadn't been stopped, Conan would have been killed. So, never do anything so dangerous again," Inspector Megure said sternly.

“Inspector Megure is absolutely right. As a detective, if you want to eliminate crime, you must first protect your own safety. If you lose your life, everything you do is in vain,” Tomoyu shrugged.

Seeing that everyone was criticizing him, Conan changed the subject and asked, "So, Inspector Megure, have you figured out the type of bomb?"

"The bomb on the remote-controlled airplane, and the bomb on the pet carrier, are both plastic explosives. We suspect they are from the stolen explosives from the Japanese gunpowder depot," Inspector Megure said after a moment's thought.

"The bomb on the remote-controlled airplane was an impact bomb using detonators, and the bomb on the portable pet carrier was a time bomb with a timing device attached," Officer Shiratori said, looking at the logbook.

"But why did that timing device suddenly stop when there were still sixteen seconds left?" Kogoro Mouri asked, puzzled.

"We don't have enough information right now, so we don't know the reason. At the moment, we can only consider these two possibilities: one is that the timing device suddenly malfunctioned, and the other is that the prisoner stopped it remotely for some reason," Inspector Megure analyzed.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, considering that the culprit specifically called Shinichi Kudo, it seems that he wanted to challenge the famous high school detective, or perhaps he and Shinichi Kudo have a personal grudge."

"According to the investigation, the criminals in the cases solved by Shinichi Kudo are still in prison," Officer Shiratori said.

"So that means the prisoner's family or lover," Kogoro Mouri said.

"In any case, our police force is currently investigating based on the feature map they drew," Inspector Megure said.

Genta excitedly took out the drawing and presented it to Conan like a treasure, saying, "Conan, this is what we drew, and it looks very similar!"

"It's a great drawing, isn't it?" Mitsuhiko also said.

“This was drawn by the three of us together,” Ayumi said happily.

"You've drawn all the features perfectly." Conan said, holding the drawing and deep in thought.

“Although we can’t know who the culprit is from this painting, we can see that the culprit has disguised himself. Also, he used a voice changer when he called Shinichi Kudo, which means that he might be someone Shinichi Kudo knows,” Zhiyong analyzed.

“That’s right, we think so too,” Inspector Megure said.

"Inspector Megure, which case in Shinichi's past has garnered the most attention?"

Suddenly, Professor Agasa, who was standing to the side, asked a question.

Inspector Megure thought for a moment and said, "I think it should be the case of Okamoto, the head of Nishitama City, last year. His son hit and killed a woman crossing the street with his car. At first, we thought it was just a regular traffic accident, but Kudo later revealed the truth."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "It turns out that the person driving at the time was not his son, but Okamoto himself. His son was just taking the blame for him. Because of that case, Okamoto resigned in disgrace, and the new town construction plan for Nishitama City that he had been pushing so hard was completely shelved after the new Okamoto took office."

"Inspector Megure, could this incident be something Okamoto's son did, harboring resentment over the previous incident?" Inspector Shiratori speculated.

“That’s possible. Okamoto’s son, Okamoto Kohei, seems to have studied electrical engineering. If he wanted to make a bomb, he could certainly do it,” Inspector Megure said with some doubt.

"I'll go investigate right away," Officer Shiratori said, turning and leaving.

Officer Shiratori not only comes from a good family, but he is also quite capable. Just look at his current performance; if he doesn't get promoted, who will?

Inspector Megure walked up to the three children and smiled, saying, "Children, besides these, do you have any other impressions of the culprit?"

Ayumi and the other two remained silent in thought. After a moment, Ayumi suddenly asked, "The taste?"

"What?" Inspector Megure asked, somewhat puzzled.

“When he handed the remote-controlled airplane to Mitsuhiko, I smelled a sweet fragrance on him,” Ayumi explained.

"Really? I didn't smell anything," Genta said, puzzled.

“I didn’t smell anything,” Mitsuhiko said.

"A sweet scent, could it be the smell of cosmetics or something?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

"I don't know. But... it seems to smell a little different from perfume," Ayumi replied hesitantly.

"Alright, if you think of anything else, just let me know," Inspector Megure said.

The three people shouted in unison, "Okay!"

“It’s about time we all went home,” Mitsuhiko said.

“Yes, Conan is fine now,” Genta added.

Ayumi grabbed Conan's hand and said, "If anything happens to you, I'll come right away."

"Thank you," Conan said with a smile, scratching his head.

"They're really good to Conan," Genta said with a disgruntled look.

"I really want to be hospitalized too," Mitsuhiko said with a look of envy.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular, kid. You've got a knack for it," Kogoro Mouri praised.

Conan could only laugh and pretend to be dumbfounded.

The three children left the ward, and Zhiyong followed them out.

Zhiyong stopped them and said to the three of them, "You've all worked hard today. How about I treat you to a big meal?"

"it is good."

The three of them, including Ayumi, were very happy to hear this.

"I want eel rice," Genta said, raising his hand high.

Zhiyong smiled and said, "Alright, you guys sit here and wait for a bit. I'll go tell them that I'll take you out for a big meal in a little while."

Zhiyong returned to Conan's hospital room and saw them gathered around Conan's bedside, where a telephone was placed.

A voice came through the phone: "I planted five bombs on the East Capital Ring Road."

"what?"

Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this.

Those were five bombs, not five steamed buns.

There are many trains on the East Metropolitan Loop Line.

If something goes wrong, it will be very serious; the number of dead will not be just thirty or fifty.

Therefore, everyone became very nervous.

The voice on the phone continued, "Starting at four o'clock this afternoon, if the train's speed drops below sixty kilometers per hour, the bomb will explode. Also, if the bomb is not defused before sunset, it will explode."

He was given a moment to think.

The voice on the phone continued, "I'll only give you one hint: I've placed these five bombs at the 'XX of X' on the East Capital Loop Line, where each 'X' represents a character. So good luck, Detective Mori."

After I finished explaining what happened, the other party hung up the phone.

……

Chapter 119 Bomb Between the Rails

The ward fell into complete silence after the other party hung up the phone; no one spoke.

In order to break the atmosphere in the ward.

Kogoro Mori shouted, "Saying there's a bomb on the Ring Line? He's just trying to scare us. How could there possibly be a bomb on the Ring Line?"

Inspector Megure said seriously, "No, what he said is probably true. The bomb's detonator is probably set to activate automatically at four o'clock, and then the bomb will detonate if the train's speed drops below sixty kilometers per hour."

With that, Inspector Megure took out his phone and said, "I need to contact the headquarters immediately..."

Seeing that things had already turned out this way, Zhiyong left the ward.

The matter has only just begun, and Conan can't figure out the answer yet.

Therefore, Zhiyong decided to wait a while and then solve the mystery.

It's a pity that Miwako isn't here.

Otherwise, we can tell Miwako and let her achieve new merits.

Zhiyong took the three children to a restaurant near the hospital.

As soon as she sat down, she heard Conan's voice coming from Ayumi's detective badge: "Ayumi, can you hear me?"

“Conan, I heard you,” Ayumi replied happily.

"Where are you now?" Conan asked.

"Brother Zhiyong took us to the restaurant for a meal," Bu Mei replied with a smile.

"That's good."

"Should I bring you some?" Ayumi asked.

"No need, you guys eat."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Zhiyong and the other two ordered many of their favorite dishes.

He invited Ayumi and the other two to dinner this time so that they would no longer be involved in the bombing case.

Although this time it was a close call, it's best to avoid such situations if possible.

When he checked his watch and it was 4:15, Zhiyong went to a secluded corner and called Inspector Megure.
