Putting aside whether it can be cracked, the police also have their pride; isn't this blatantly calling them useless?
"You mean that newly formed special task force? I don't think those idle people can accomplish anything."
Sato didn't have a good impression of these lazy old hands either. What Kazama Kaoru said before, that those who flatter others can get ahead, was actually referring to them.
Those who join the Major Crimes Unit are all obsequious lackeys who follow the newly appointed Superintendent General of Police, Ayanokoji Fumio. They are good at loafing around and doing nothing, but as for their abilities, well, that's a matter of opinion.
"Alright, sir, please pay the bill."
Even if they ate a bowl of noodles slowly, it wouldn't take more than half an hour. After they finished eating, they chatted for a while, and then Kaoru Kazama got up to pay the bill. It was getting late, almost midnight, and it was time for them to go home and find their mothers.
Compared to Sato, Kaoru Kazama lives much closer to home; it only takes him five or six minutes to walk there.
"Phew, this is really exhausting. Being a police officer isn't easy. These days, maintaining world peace isn't easy at all, don't you think, Little White?"
Kaoru Kazama picked up Shiro and placed it in her arms. This guy was lazy and listless during the day, but he was quite energetic at night. No wonder people always say that night owls are night owls.
"You've been here for so long, and you haven't even caught me a mouse to show me, you little rascal?"
Kazama lifted Shiro up high, but the little guy didn't react at all. It didn't thrash around or scratch Kazama, and fell into an eerie calm.
"Could this cat be mentally challenged?"
Kazama Kaoru couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't cats be afraid of heights? Why didn't she see her feline friend react at all?
Meow~
Having probably understood what Kazama Kaoru said, Shiro let out a long cry to express his dissatisfaction, but Kazama Kaoru ignored it. There was nothing he could do; after all, Shiro didn't understand foreign languages.
After petting the cat for a while, Kaoru Kazama finally went to sleep, completely satisfied. Petting cats is like an illness, an incurable one at that; he's probably terminally ill.
When he woke up the next day, it was already bright daylight. Kaoru squinted and assessed the situation for a while before realizing that he was late again. He only noticed it when he picked up his phone.
It's already 12:30 in the morning. This isn't being late; it's not that we haven't arrived at all.
"Ugh, what a headache! Why is the alarm clock not working?"
Kaoru Kazama slept soundly, but he'll probably get nagged by Sato's mother again when he gets to the Metropolitan Police Department. Just thinking about it gives him a headache, since Sato is his superior and senior.
"Never mind, let's eat first and then go."
Kaoru Kazama got up and cooked without any mental burden, seemingly forgetting about Miwako Sato, who was starving and waiting to be fed at the Metropolitan Police Department, and whether she would be humanely killed when she got back.
"Hey, isn't this Conan? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Kaoru Kazama had just stepped downstairs when he bumped into Conan coming down from the Mouri Detective Agency across the street. Conan immediately threw his skateboard to the ground, stepped on his turbo boost, and was about to speed off when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, nearly falling off his skateboard. "
"It's Inspector Kazama. A criminal has planted a bomb in the park. If we don't go now, it will be too late, so I'm in a hurry."
"You're just a kid, you don't need to worry about the bombs, leave them to us."
Kazama Kaoru immediately understood. This was Conan's first confrontation with Moriya Teiji, and it seemed that Moriya Teiji had been injured.
Although I usually don't like this kid, when it comes to matters of life and death, I put aside my personal feelings. After all, he's a police officer.
"But we're running out of time. I'd better get there right away."
Conan clearly didn't want Kazama Kaoru to come along, fearing that his identity would be exposed. However, how could Kazama Kaoru give up such a good opportunity to watch the show? He directly pulled Conan off the skateboard and stuffed him and his skateboard into the back seat of the car.
"Sit tight and remember to fasten your seatbelts. My speeding skills were personally taught by Officer Sato."
After saying that, Kazama Kaoru turned the car key, started the engine, and then stepped on the gas and clutch at the same time, instantly causing the speedometer to spike to 120.
Then he immediately regretted it. This was the method Sato had taught him, the fastest way to increase speed, but it was very hard on the car. Sato usually did it on a bus. Kazama Kaoru got carried away and forgot that it was his own car.
"Get ready, everyone, we're about to depart."
Conan, sitting in the back, was too distracted to speak. His mind went blank, and he even briefly forgot everything about the bomber. The sudden acceleration from the high speed nearly knocked him unconscious in the back seat, as he hadn't even properly fastened his seatbelt.
Sato's speeding style is no joke. To be honest, if she hadn't become a police officer, the title of "Central District's Thirteenth Sister" might have belonged to someone else. These are Sato's own words.
And so, the novice driver Kaoru Kazama drove straight to the scene with Conan, who was still reeling from the jolts in the back seat.
However, how much of Conan's intelligence he would have left in this state is unknown.
Chapter 89 Conan's Ultimate Weapon - The Art of Acting Cute
"Conan, how do you know about the bomber? Who told you?"
Kaoru Kazama was speeding along with Conan while interrogating him in the car.
"Um, this, this was found out by Shinichi-nii. He couldn't come here, so he called me for help."
Considering that Kazama Kaoru might actually confront Kogoro Mouri afterward, Conan, in a split second, resolutely chose to use himself as a shield.
"Oh, really? How can Shinichi Kudo be so unreliable? He just entrusted such a dangerous task to a kid like you. Doesn't he worry about something going wrong? He's really irresponsible."
Kaoru Kazama completed the feat of criticizing Shinichi Kudo in front of Conan almost without any pause.
"Hehe, hehe, actually it's not like that. It's just that Shinichi is busy investigating a case, Ran is at school, and Uncle is drunk, so he had no choice but to come to me. Actually, he asked me to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask Inspector Megure for help, but I thought it would be better to catch the criminal first."
Conan chuckled awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head, secretly wiping away a cold sweat. Luckily, Kogoro Mouri was truly drunk and unconscious today.
"Kids are just naturally curious. Don't get involved in criminal activities, understand?"
Kazama Kaoru took this opportunity to give Conan a brutal ideological education. The kid was in the wrong and could only listen silently. No matter what he said, it would be wrong. One of Conan and Shinichi Kudo had to be sacrificed.
"Alright, call Inspector Megure and tell them there's a bomb near the park and we're on our way. Tell them to cordon off the area immediately."
Kaoru Kazama wasn't deliberately trying to manipulate Conan; it's just that Conan's driving skills aren't up to par yet, especially when using the Sato-style driving method. Reaching this speed without any accidents while unfamiliar with it is already quite an achievement, so it's impossible for him to be distracted by making a phone call.
------------
"Conan, is what you're saying true? You're with Kazama?"
"Yes, Shinichi-nii said he received a call from a bomber and asked me to tell the Metropolitan Police Department that the bomber is the same person who stole the Dongyang gunpowder depot and hid the explosives in the nearby Green Park. Kaoru-neechan and I are heading there now."
"Okay, I understand, Sato. Takagi, head to the scene immediately and seal it off. We absolutely cannot allow any suspicious individuals to escape from here."
"Sister Xiaoxun, the bomb is going to explode in five minutes. Will we make it in time?"
The bomber previously mentioned that the children were in danger, indicating that he hid the bomb among the crowd, specifically among the children. This introduces a lot of uncertainty. If the children's curiosity got the better of them, they might find the bomb and treat it as a toy, and the time of the explosion might not be the same as the time the bomber said.
Who are you looking for?
Just when things were at their most urgent, Conan's phone suddenly rang. Without saying a word, he answered it immediately, seemingly without even looking at who the contact was.
"How could it be a small child?"
A hoarse, strange voice came from the other end of the line, clearly indicating the use of a voice changer. Conan's expression instantly turned grim, and he unconsciously revealed an aura that was not that of a child.
"What, does Shinichi Kudo look down on me?"
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly agitated, but Kazama Kaoru just wanted to laugh. For someone who didn't know the plot, there might still be a sense of suspense, but knowing the plot, he could only imagine that the person on the other end was an angry old man.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore. The bomb will explode in three minutes, right in the Green Park. I've hidden it somewhere. If he thinks a kid can handle me, then bring it on."
"Damn it, he hung up!"
After making those harsh remarks, the other end of the phone hung up. Enraged and wanting to get more information out of him, Conan slammed his phone onto the back seat.
"Get out of the car quickly, we've arrived at Green Park, it should be around here."
Although Kaoru Kazama's driving skills weren't great, his speed was still decent. He drove from Beika Street to Green Park in three minutes, and when he got out of the car, he saw those kids fighting over a remote-controlled airplane.
"I haven't had enough fun yet, please let me play a little longer."
Mitsuhiko was practically asking for trouble by trying to take the remote from Genta. Genta's size was equivalent to three Mitsuhikos, so how could he possibly win?
"A remote-controlled airplane? How do you have one of these?"
"Oh, you mean this? This was given to us by a bearded uncle just now."
"Oh no, you all need to lie down right now!"
Just as Conan realized that the plane must have been bombed, the entire remote-controlled aircraft suddenly rushed towards them at an incredible speed; Kaoru Kazama could clearly see the orange flashes on it.
"The bomb is about to explode, get down quickly!"
The children were still standing there dumbfounded, clearly terrified by the plane that was hurtling straight towards them.
With lightning speed, Kazama Kaoru delivered a high kick. Despite the urgency of the situation, his physical abilities and reflexes sent the landing remote-controlled plane flying into the air.
"Boom!"
A sound like thunder echoed through the sky, and pedestrians in the park looked up in bewilderment, wondering what had happened.
"You bunch of brats, can't you be a little more careful? If you were any closer, you'd all be dead, you know that?"
The children were completely terrified, standing there dumbfounded and speechless, only able to timidly answer Kazama Kaoru's questions.
"Hey, what exactly do you want?"
Conan's phone rang with perfect timing; without even looking at it, he knew it was the bomber calling.
"Hmph, doesn't Shinichi Kudo think that a little kid can handle me? Well then, let him try. There's another bomb coming up, let's see if you, little detective, can find it."
The tone on the other end was very sarcastic, full of malice. At this point, it was clear that the other party was targeting Shinichi Kudo. At least Kazama Kaoru, as an observer, could clearly feel that targeting, but Conan was blinded by his own involvement.
"Wait a minute, how am I supposed to guess with just this much information? Can you give me a hint?"
In order to solve the case, Conan disregarded his own principles and stood in the middle of the park, holding a phone, and began to use his ultimate technique—the art of being cute—to talk to the bomber across the street.
"Hmph, since that's the case, I'll say a little more. The bomb is under the tree, but it's not buried under the tree. If you don't hurry, someone might take it."
Teiji Moriya's tone was full of smugness, as if he were toying with Conan.
"Damn it, it hung up again."
Conan's call was hung up on again, but unfortunately, he was in a park and couldn't smash his phone. He could only shove it back into his pocket, completely ignoring the strange looks from his friends.
Chapter 90 Running Humanoid Pikachu
"Conan, get in the car quickly! Since he can see us, it means he's not far from here, and he probably wouldn't have placed the bomb too far away. Get in the car and come with me, or it'll be too late when it explodes."
Kazama Kaoru was genuinely getting anxious. He knew that in the original story, even Conan, who rushed as fast as he could, almost missed the target and was even injured by the bomb. If he lingered here any longer, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"kindness"
At this moment, Conan didn't hesitate. With lives at stake, he couldn't care less about anything else.
"Conan, where are you going?"
The kids were completely bewildered from beginning to end. From the moment Conan rushed over to the moment Kazama Kaoru kicked the plane away and the bomb exploded on their heads, this series of events only lasted for half a minute.
