"Sister Xiaoxun, you can't get up there, right?"
Conan only realized after getting into the car that there was a huge slope in front of him. It was a park shaped like a basin, surrounded by high slopes and fences, making it impossible for the car to pass.
"no problem."
Kazama Kaoru remained completely calm. He stepped on the clutch with his left foot, shifted gears, and then floored the accelerator. The car roared to life and surged straight up the hillside.
"Ah~~~~"
Kazama Kaoru could hear the screams of pedestrians on the hillside in the park even from inside the car. However, Kazama Kaoru's control was quite good, or you could say the car's performance was good. He used the slope to get over the not-so-low guardrail and then performed a beautiful drift to stop on the sidewalk.
"This is so cool!"
Two girls who seemed to be out shopping stood blankly on the road, watching Kazama Kaoru step on the gas and drive away, leaving only dust and smoke on the ground.
"Keep an eye on the roadside. The sign is so simple. It's probably a trap for us. It's unlikely to be near a tree."
Even without knowing the plot, Kaoru Kazama could tell that, given the suspect's nature, or rather, the nature of Teiji Moriya, who harbors deep hatred for Shinichi Kudo, it was impossible for him to have set up such a simple code.
"Damn it, I can't find it anywhere."
After Kazama and the others rushed up from the park, they began their search along the road that encircled the park.
Judging from his previous behavior, he likes to control the development of things. You can tell from the way he spied on Kazama Kaoru and Conan. So he definitely won't be able to ignore it next. In that case, he should be within his field of vision in this area.
The place is bustling with people, and the streets are lined with trees. It's noisy and crowded, and you wouldn't guess that it might be a place where a bomb was buried.
"It should be nearby, not too far, but the demolition team probably won't make it in time. That bastard must have set the explosion time very short."
Kaoru Kazama only knows the general plot, but he knows nothing about specific details, such as the location of the bomb.
"Hey, this is it!"
In the end, Conan's protagonist aura came into play. Actually, perhaps because he is relatively short, he was able to see the situation below without bending over. As a result, he found a strange thing under a bench where an old lady was sitting.
It was a box containing a kitten, but Kazama Kaoru's superhuman senses had kicked in, and he could hear the ticking of a timer inside. This must be the bomb.
Please, kind people, adopt it!
The elderly woman wearing glasses sitting to the side slowly read the note pasted on it. At this moment, Conan did not realize that there was a bomb inside, but his detective intuition told him that something was wrong with what he saw.
"Grandma, we want to adopt this kitten, it's so cute!"
At this point, it's not worth alerting them and causing unnecessary panic. So, Kazama Kaoru first communicated with the old woman, and at that moment, Conan realized that this should be the location where the bomb was buried.
"Sister, I love this kitten so much, can I adopt it?"
Conan instantly understood what Kazama Kaoru meant. After all, she had the blood of the famous actress Yukiko Tengeng flowing through her veins, so her acting skills were naturally superb. In addition, with the added bonus of her talent for being cute, she could basically charm women from eight to eighty years old.
"I see. Then you must treat it well. It's already pitiful enough to be abandoned by its owner; it can't be abandoned again."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely take good care of it, don't worry."
The old man was slow, not only in his movements but also in his speech. Conan and Kazama were in a real hurry, so after giving their instructions, they immediately ran for their lives. There was no time to get back into the car and start the engine, so the two of them took off running.
With a bomb tucked in his arms, the timer ticking incessantly, Kaoru Kazama felt it almost match his own heartbeat. He knew the plot, but the complex emotions he felt when actually running around with a bomb in his arms were something that was hard to understand without experiencing it firsthand.
At this moment, he didn't really understand why someone as lazy as him was so fearless. He wished he could grow eight legs. Third Master's physical abilities had been pushed to their limits, but he just couldn't find a suitable place to use them.
The perpetrators chose this location in a hurry, near Mihana Station, surrounded by people. It wouldn't be appropriate for the bomb to explode anywhere, clearly indicating their determination to drag innocent passersby into the mess.
"Sister Xiaoxun, it's just ahead. Let's throw the bomb into that little lake."
Conan is quite clever. Seeing Kazama Kaoru running very fast, he ran straight into the car, took out his skateboard, stepped on the turbo, and rushed in front of Kazama Kaoru.
However, he didn't have time to be surprised by Kazama Kaoru's running speed at this moment. Kazama Kaoru could almost feel the blood flowing in his body. The close call that looks like it happened in the anime was ultimately a little short. Only by experiencing it in person can you feel this kind of excitement.
"Whoo, whoo, whoo"
"Just a little bit more, we must catch up."
At this point, he didn't care about anything else. Misaka's abilities were almost fully unleashed, even to the point of exhaustion. If Misaka's abilities weren't limited to acceleration, the people in the Beika Station area of Tokyo would probably have been lucky enough to see a runaway Pikachu.
"boom"
The sound of the bomb exploding echoed throughout Tokyo within a radius of a kilometer. The amount of gunpowder used was significantly larger than the previous one. Moreover, unlike in the original story, Teiji Moriya stole even more gunpowder. If this bomb had been as powerful as it was in the original story and had affected Conan, the kid's life would probably be in danger.
"Damn, that bomb was really powerful. Luckily, Conan didn't get too close."
At the last moment, Kaoru Kazama threw the several-kilogram explosive charge with the force of a baseball thrower.
Moreover, he had unknowingly left Conan behind, which is why the kid wasn't affected.
However, having directly experienced the blast wave, which was far more powerful than in the original story, Kaoru Kazama felt a tightness in his chest, which was very uncomfortable, and a tingling sensation in his throat, as if he had to vomit.
"Pfft~"
"Sister Xiaoxun, Sister Xiaoxun!"
That was the last sound Kazama Kaoru heard before he went black and lost consciousness.
Chapter 91: Lessons Learned from the Plot Prophet
"She's awake, she's awake, Xiao Xun is awake."
Before even opening her eyes, she could smell the strong odor of disinfectant. The pungent smell instantly snapped Kazama Kaoru out of her daze, and she could hear Sato calling her name.
"Huh? Am I in a hospital?"
The moment he opened his eyes, all he saw was white. Strictly speaking, this was Kaoru Kazama's first time in a hospital. He was usually quite healthy. This was his first time experiencing a hospital in the world of Conan, especially with a beautiful woman by his side. This was something he would never have dared to imagine in his previous life.
"Xiao Xun, how are you? Do you feel unwell?"
Sato's voice rang in her ears. Kazama Kaoru slowly opened her eyes and found that the area around her was full of people from the Metropolitan Police Department. From the superintendent Matsumoto to the patrol chief, and even patrol officers, they had all come to this hospital. If they hadn't all been in plainclothes, the heart patients in this hospital would probably have been scared to death.
"Why are you all here? Aren't you all here to arrest criminals?"
Kazama Kaoru was still a little confused. This time, he was really tricked by the plot. The reason he was injured was largely because in the original plot, the bomb was not that powerful. Conan was injured at close range but was fine. But when it was his turn, he found that the amount of gunpowder had been increased and the power of the explosion was not even as good as Mikasa's physique.
"I'm fine. Don't you all have to go to work?"
Seeing everyone staring at him with wide eyes, it was as if the entire Metropolitan Police Department had come, including almost all of the greasy old men who called themselves Miwako's bodyguards. Kaoru Kazama was genuinely touched.
"Stop talking about that, doctor, doctor, she's awake."
Upon hearing this, Kaoru Kazama, who had been quite calm, suddenly became tense.
"System, system, come out quickly! This is a matter of life and death! Come out quickly, or someone will die!"
Kazama Kaoru was mentally praising his system, feeling incredibly happy.
"Those rudimentary instruments are incapable of determining your true gender. You can lie down now, host."
"Really? Are you that high-class?"
Kazama Kaoru was filled with a thousand questions. What kind of host you have determines what kind of system you have. Kazama Kaoru was so lazy, and his system wasn't much better. It neither thought of helping its host conquer the world, nor did it issue any more tasks. It was as if it was on standby, which was really strange.
Although he didn't know what kind of advanced technology the system used, Kazama Kaoru's restless heart had calmed down. Although this system seemed unreliable, it wouldn't let him down when it mattered most.
So, without really understanding what was going on, he listened to the doctor showing him his X-rays and explaining some precautions. Apparently, this injury was considered a work-related injury, and he could apply for a week of paid leave. He was actually quite pleased with himself.
"By the way, where's Conan?"
Kaoru Kazama only then remembered that there was another person who had been "transporting" the bomb with him, but they had been so engrossed in running that they were stunned by the explosion that they only remembered this now.
"You mean that brat? He was just here a moment ago, and now he's gone somewhere else."
"The bomber will probably call him again. Don't let this brat go after the bomber by himself. I only stopped him this time because I found him, otherwise he probably would have gone to find the bomb by himself."
"What? Are you serious? We thought you were the one contacting the bomber!"
The Mori father and daughter, Inspector Megure, and Takagi Sato were all completely bewildered. It was all a coincidence that Kazama Kaoru had changed the plot. Instead of Conan, Kazama Kaoru was the one lying in the hospital. In the original story, Conan answered the bomber's call in front of everyone after waking up, so there was no possibility of hiding it.
Just as Kazama Kaoru finished speaking, everyone saw Conan slowly walk into the ward. Judging from his tiptoeing posture, he obviously didn't want to be too far away in Tokyo, but he didn't expect to be caught red-handed.
"Hehe, hehe, Sister Xiaoxun, you're finally awake! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Has the bomber called again?"
"Not yet."
"You brat, why didn't you tell us that the bomber was in contact with you?"
The moment Conan finished greeting Kazama Kaoru, he was immediately hit hard by Kogoro Mouri's fist, leaving a big red bump on his head. Looking at Conan squatting on the ground, clutching the back of his head in pain, he really looked a little pitiful.
"It was Shinichi who called me. He was out of town and couldn't handle the bomb case, so he asked me to keep an eye on things for a while. That's all."
"What? You're saying that Shinichi, that brat, made you do this? He's right there, why didn't he notify the police instead of sending you alone?"
Kogoro Mouri has always disliked Shinichi Kudo. As a doting father, it would be strange if he were to give his future son-in-law a friendly look.
"Have you determined the type of bomb? Is it the batch that was stolen from the Japanese gunpowder depot?"
Kazama Kaoru remembered that she had already notified Inspector Megure and the others to cordon off the scene, so they should have made some progress.
"Yes, we investigated the traces at the scene and confirmed that the explosives on the plane and in the pet carrier were plastic explosives, and they all belonged to the batch that went missing from the Japanese gunpowder depot. However, this is only a small part of it, and the suspect should still have a considerable amount in his possession."
"This person must have a grand scheme in mind. Stealing such a large quantity of explosives couldn't possibly be just for the purpose of causing a terrorist attack."
"Yes, that should be correct. However, based on the clues we have so far, we are still unable to trace the suspect's true identity. According to what you said before, the suspect should have been observing you at the scene, but after we sent people to cordon off the scene, we did not find any suspects. Perhaps he did not continue to monitor you afterward."
"Well, probably not. When I was running, the bomb's timer stopped for a few seconds, which is why I was able to catch up. So I guess the suspect must have had a controller and was remotely controlling the bomb's detonation time. But I just don't understand why it stopped."
At this moment, Kaoru Kazama vaguely recalled that when she was running for her life, the ticking of the timer stopped for a moment. She didn't notice it at the time, but after thinking about it later, she realized that something was wrong. Unfortunately, the plot prophecy cannot be used for such details, so she can only speculate slowly.
"
"
Chapter 92 can truly carry forward the Wild Beast School.
"The bomb timer suddenly stopped? Hmm, that's quite a clue. Thank you for your hard work, Kazama. You've done a great job this time, you could say you've protected Tokyo."
While this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it's not entirely wrong upon closer examination. After all, the bomb was located in the center of the crowd, and any explosion there would have threatened people's lives.
Moreover, the bomb exploded in just 25 seconds, but Kaoru Kazama ran nearly a kilometer in that short time, which is quite superhuman.
Fortunately, no one bothered to investigate, otherwise Kaoru Kazama might have been dissected by the research department.
"Did anything unexpected happen while I was unconscious, like the bomber calling again?"
As Kaoru Kazama spoke, her eyes turned to Conan, who was currently enjoying Ran's loving caress. Ran hadn't been in the ward earlier, so she hadn't been able to stop Kogoro Mouri from committing his heinous act, and now she could only offer him some comfort.
"It's all your fault, you brat! You didn't tell us about this. Could it be that your bomb-wielding bastard has already called you?"
