"Hmm, they actually committed the crime outside the Mouri Detective Agency."
Ai Haibara had also noticed the unusual behavior on Chen En's side.
After the car pulled over, she braced herself against the seat cushions of the two front seats, leaned forward, and peered out through the gap between the two seats, curiously watching the screen on the car.
"If the crime is committed outside the Mori Detective Agency, it should be easy to catch them in the act, right?"
...Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case, but we won't discuss the theory now.
Chen En's face darkened, and he said.
"We just need to retrieve the surveillance footage to find out."
He had already watched it once, and this time it was specifically for Ai Haibara.
At that moment, at Chen En's request, the surveillance footage outside the Mouri Detective Agency rewinds and instantly shows the scene where Kogoro Mouri parks his car opposite the Mouri Detective Agency.
Ai Haibara was also watching the monitor intently.
If the bomber was truly so depraved and lawless, then...
So the next thing that should appear in the surveillance footage is the footage of the criminal planting a bomb near the black luxury car, and then detonating the bomb when Hattori Heiji, Mori Kogoro and the others look out.
However, things did not turn out as Ai Haibara had predicted.
From the time the car was parked until it exploded, no one had touched the black luxury car, as if the bomb had been planted inside beforehand.
This is truly the most absurd theory in the world.
If it were a regular car rental company that Kogoro Mouri would rent, that possibility would indeed exist.
After all, all they had to do was investigate which car rental company Kogoro Mouri frequented, install remote-controlled bombs inside all the cars at that company, and detonate them when needed.
But the vehicle opposite Kogoro Mouri was bombed; it belonged to the Suzuki Group's security personnel.
Those security personnel's cars were originally intended for Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En to use, so they must have undergone security checks more than once. It's impossible that someone planted a bomb on them before that.
Now that no one has planted the bomb, the black luxury car explodes.
That means someone planted a bomb inside the black luxury car when Chen En and his group entered the toy research institute to solve the case? But that doesn't make sense.
Ai Haibara remembers that Sonoko Suzuki's security personnel didn't seem to be following her, but in reality, they were always with her.
It wasn't until Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko led her towards the Suzuki Group that the security personnel shifted their focus back to them, following them and ignoring the black luxury car.
Unless all the security personnel hired by Jirokichi Suzuki around Sonoko Suzuki are either undercover agents or cowards.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible not to notice that a bomb had been planted on the black luxury car during this period of time...
"What exactly is going on?"
Ai Haibara pondered unconsciously.
Her small hand unconsciously left the seat in front of her and placed it on her chin, as if she was thinking about something. Then she let out a cry of surprise and fell headfirst into the middle of the front seat because she lost her balance.
Upon seeing this, Chen En fell silent.
Ever since he brought Ai Haibara back, he's felt that her image is drifting further and further away from the original storyline. Is there something wrong with his training strategy? That shouldn't be the case…
I don't see what's so clever about the old bat's method of only giving bat family members five dollars a week for pocket money and making them do housework.
In the end, Chen En simply dialed Hattori Heiji's number and said directly.
"I will handle this matter."
"If you're still worried, you can start your own investigation. You can get any information you need directly from the Bat Cave. Ye Caisan will open the door for you, and Noah's Ark will provide information support."
This situation looks extremely familiar.
This kind of unusual situation had occurred before when Ye Caisan's daughter, Jibei Zhu, contacted Curaçao.
It was impossible to detect Curaçao's presence through surveillance footage alone; only by observing her offline using Cassandra's ring could her presence be sensed.
In this case, the perpetrator most likely walked over and brazenly planted the bomb on the car.
Then, without any haste, he went to the nearest public phone booth and called Kogoro Mouri to make threats and warn him of a crime. Therefore, this kind of crime with mysterious elements is difficult for detectives with a purely physical approach to solve.
Not every detective specializing in physical combat can outwit Light Yagami, who possesses supernatural abilities, just like L.
Although, based on Chen En's experience, the criminal would most likely show up near Kogoro Mouri tomorrow, Chen En thought it best not to give the criminal a chance to show his face.
The other side has made it very clear that they will detonate the bomb again at 3:30 pm tomorrow.
He had to catch the criminal before the bomb detonated.
Fortunately, Chen En also has professionals who can help deal with these criminals.
Moreover, Lorenzo had previously taken his commission and promised to find the owner of the bomb within the next few days, and now the owner of the bomb has already come out and is causing trouble.
If that guy doesn't reveal the bomber's whereabouts soon, then we can expect him to recover the commission and freeze his bank account!
“Let’s go, let’s go back to the bat cave now.”
As Chen En spoke, he pressed the super transformation mechanism.
The civilian modified car's chassis was immediately raised by the tripod extending from below to begin the modification. The four tires were automatically replaced with tires more suitable for acceleration, and the exaggerated front splitter and rear wing that only appear on race cars were also raised one after another.
Seeing this, Ai Haibara quickly propped herself up from the cushion, returned to her seat, and fastened her seatbelt.
When Chen En activated his super transformation form, it meant that he was about to enter a period of extreme speed.
To ensure her safety, she felt it was necessary to fasten her seatbelt; otherwise, at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, if the car braked suddenly and she lost her balance...
She might become the most humiliating member of the main cast in history to die.
"set off!"
The moment the vehicle landed, it roared off!
Chapter 1101 Using Magic to Counter Magic
When a vehicle travels at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, the air takes shape.
Chen En drove his modified civilian car like a streak of lightning, constantly navigating the outskirts of Tokyo towards the city's suburbs, easily and deftly avoiding any traffic police patrol cars that might appear on the road.
Although he didn't think the patrol car could catch him, he still preferred to avoid contact with it if possible.
As everyone knows, I, Chen En, have always been a law-abiding citizen.
Nobody knows more about legality than me!
Chen En's vehicle sped through the city, creating a trail of sparks, and quickly entered the suburbs. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at one of the hidden entrances to the Bat Cave and entered the cave.
Ai Haibara, sitting in the back seat, just felt a little uncomfortable, slightly overweight.
However, thanks to Chen En's persistent training during this period, which he drove her around to do, as well as the physical training and instruction he had started on her and Conan a long time ago, she did not completely lose her sense of fitness.
But this did not change her opinion that Chen En's driving speed was unusually bad.
The civilian modified car had just come to a stop in the garage.
Ai Haibara hurriedly pushed open the back door and got out of the car, as if she didn't want to stay in the civilian modified car for even a second longer. As a result, she was immediately captured by Curaçao, who was lying in wait nearby, and picked her up.
Watching the battle of breath between Ai Haibara and Curaçao.
Chen En shook his head helplessly, opened the car door, and got out.
As expected, Ye Caisan had been waiting inside the Bat Cave for a long time. At this moment, when he saw Chen En get out of the car, he even had the leisure to ask a question.
"Young Master Chen En, would you like some late-night snack prepared for you tonight?"
Chen En shrugged, took a sip of his coffee, and said.
"You can prepare two portions, but not for me."
"If nothing unexpected happens, two people should come over late at night."
Although Chen En did not explicitly say who it was, Ye Caisan could guess that it was most likely Hattori Heiji and Conan, the two people who knew the location of the Bat Cave... It couldn't possibly be Suzuki Sonoko or Suzuki Jirokichi, could it?
Ye Caisan nodded slightly and said.
"Okay, I'll go and prepare now."
He bowed slightly, then turned and went back up the stairs to Chen En Manor.
Ignoring Ye Caisan's little incident, Chen En immediately sat down in front of the Noah's Ark supercomputer, placed his fingers on the keyboard, and retrieved the surveillance records of Beika Town.
His fingers gently twirled the Cassandra ring he wore on his fingertips.
The super-intuitive ability instantly took effect on Chen En.
But just as Chen En had predicted, even with Cassandra's ring, he still couldn't look directly at a criminal who had used a magic item to reduce his presence when they weren't meeting in person.
He immediately canceled the effect of Cassandra's Ring with some disappointment and took out his phone.
A mysterious master of air magic once uttered such profound words.
We must use magic to counter magic.
It's time to call in reinforcements.
He immediately dialed Koizumi Akako's number.
The Scarlet Witch seemed to be preparing for rest at this time of day. When she answered the phone, she yawned and replied in a somewhat languid voice.
"This is Koizumi Akako. What can I do for you, Bat-Man?"
Chen En: ?
I've noticed that the names you guys use to address me are getting more and more bizarre.
Sooner or later I'll pull out my copper-headed leather belt and whip you all around like spinning tops.
Chen En said with a dark expression.
"I think I mentioned it to you before. A magician who is good at creating magical items to reduce his presence has gone missing. Now someone has caused an explosion outside the Mori Detective Agency."
"And there is a high probability that a larger-scale explosion will occur around 3:30 pm tomorrow."
"This person seems to have used a magical item that can reduce their presence and make them less noticeable. I need you to come and help me confirm whether they are using that type of item."
Upon hearing this, Koizumi Akako paused for a moment before speaking.
