Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Chapter 350 Qingze: Why am I on the subway?

Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with seriousness and the unconcealed worry that parents cannot hide.

This is not only a provocation, but also a blatant threat to Shinichi Kudo and their son!

This is an open conspiracy, yet it is exceptionally insidious.

If Shinichi Kudo doesn't show up, his family will be bombarded with public criticism.

Following recent news reports, the fact that Shinichi Kudo disappeared a year ago and then reappeared at school has been unearthed, and no one believes that Shinichi Kudo is dead.

Once they show themselves, their son will have no choice but death.

All of the above was just preparation; this was the real retaliation from Binga that they had been wary of.

Ruthless and insidious, yet they strike at the heart of the matter, leaving them with no other choice.

No wonder he's someone with ambitions to surpass Gin.

This scheming and ruthlessness are befitting of his ambition.

Dr. Agasa broke out in a cold sweat: "Before noon! Time is running out!"

It's 11:32 now, less than half an hour has passed!

The person behind this is unwilling to give them even more time!

That's truly ruthless!

Ai Haibara's small body trembled slightly. The melting pointer transformed into a blood-red totem of tissue in her eyes. A chilling fear instantly gripped her, almost suffocating her.

This feeling... it's the organization, there's no mistake!

This is the organization's method for dealing with Shinichi Kudo.

Cold and terrifying, they don't care about casualties as long as they can achieve their goal.

Subaru Okiya pushed up his glasses, the reflection from the lenses obscuring the sharp, cold glint that flashed in his eyes.

Conan's face was already ashen, every word on the notice felt like a red-hot iron branding his heart.

He ran outside suddenly, his voice filled with unprecedented urgency: "Go!!"

He already knows where the locations mentioned above are!

Without any unnecessary words or farewells, the Kudo family and Professor Agasa acted almost immediately.

Yusaku Kudo nodded quickly and heavily to Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri. There was no time to waste here; they had to act immediately.

"Doctor, Ai, let's go!"

Ai Haibara immediately followed, her little hands icy cold.

The group quickly left the ward, leaving behind Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki with somber expressions.

Kogoro Mouri seemed to remember something and quickly said:

"Didn't Xiaolan say she was going to bring food over? Quickly call her and ask if she took the subway!"

Eri Kisaki also thought of this, quickly picked up her phone to make a call, and prayed silently in her heart.

Never, ever on the subway...

Sometimes, the more you try to prevent something from happening, the more likely it is to happen.

Qingze is indeed on the subway.

Knowing that the Kudo family and Shuichi Akai were all in the hospital room, and that Kaito Kuroba was staying in the next room, Aozawa, who had prepared lunch, did not ask Ran Mouri to go to the hospital with him, but instead took the subway after a long time.

This is a surface-level subway line.

The train was traveling at 70 kilometers per hour. It wasn't rush hour, so the subway wasn't too crowded. He sat by the window, carrying a lunchbox and wearing headphones, idly staring out the window.

The sky outside was gloomy, and the oppressive weather dampened people's spirits.

While everyone in the hospital ward saw the death invitation on the TV, Qingze, who was sitting on the subway, also saw it through a small TV on the subway.

Binga, behind the scenes, directly infiltrated the television station and indirectly controlled most of Tokyo's television programming.

Qingze sat in the chair, his face terribly gloomy.

He just didn't want to ride a motorcycle because it was cold and it looked like it would rain, so he impulsively took the subway.

Sometimes when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

He's not Superman; the train can't stop, and he couldn't possibly jump off unharmed.

If the bomb is inside the train, he can still look for it; but if it's on the tracks, there's nothing he can do.

It's been a long time since I've encountered a situation where life and death are out of my control.

Ugh, so annoying. I want to kill someone.

Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, calmed himself down, and then answered it.

Qingze covered most of the receiver to prevent the noise of the train from reaching his phone.

"Hello, Mom."

"Xiao Lan, where are you?"

"I just stepped out the door, what's wrong?"

Hearing their daughter say she had just left, Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri both breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that I wasn't on the subway.

"It's nothing. If you need to go out, take a taxi, don't take the subway."

"it is good."

As soon as the call ended, Ran Mouri called immediately.

"Aze, did you take the subway?"

A hurried, male voice echoed in her ear; clearly, Ran Mouri had also seen the death invitation on television.

This time, Qingze didn't cover the receiver; he seemed utterly despondent, as if fate had cruelly toyed with him.

"Sigh... I just decided to take the subway on a whim..."

It also happens to be the Mihana-Shibuya Line.

"Oh no! What should we do?!" Ran Mouri was frantic.

What should we do?!

Although he was very annoyed, Qingze didn't lie.

"Go find Bai Yu and ask her to use a drone to check the railway tracks. I have a drone in my study."

He first had the outside check the tracks, and then organized the passengers on the train to check the inside of the subway.

Once the bomb is found, things will be much easier; we can just disarm it.

If it can't be found, it means the bomb is likely on the tracks. It would be best to find it and remove it, but if it can't be removed, then the only option is to jump off the train.

Although I would be seriously injured, it's better than being blown up.

Hearing the calm tone of his voice calmed Ran Mouri down as well.

"I understand, I'll go right away."

She walked briskly towards the study, glancing quickly at the time.

It is now 11:33, with only 27 minutes left until noon.

Hearing that her tone had calmed down, Qingze teased:

"Why aren't you worried about Shinichi Kudo now? He's clearly in more danger than you think."

Such an obvious trap, if Shinichi Kudo went there, he would only die.

“Shinichi…” Ran Mouri was silent for a moment, then sighed.

“Of course I’m worried about him, but he has a lot of help around him, and his parents are very capable. There’s nothing I can do to help him in this situation. Compared to that, I’m more worried about you…”

Shinichi doesn't need her right now, but Aozawa is different.

Qingze is already in danger.

Hearing her words, Qingze's lips curled up slightly.

They're quite self-aware.

He was quite worried that Ran Mouri might be planning something to save Shinichi Kudo, such as going directly to find the mastermind behind it all...

"What if he doesn't show up?"

Are you so sure that Shinichi Kudo will appear?

"Yes, he will. If he doesn't show up, then he's not Shinichi."

Even if Shinichi has changed, he is by no means the kind of person who would cause hundreds or thousands of people to die because of him.

His sense of justice and courage have remained constant from childhood to adulthood, never wavering.

P.S.: This is the third update, I'm doing this for fun!

Chapter 351 Only 20 minutes left until noon

The car sped through the streets of Tokyo like an arrow released from a bow.

In the driver's seat, Hideaki Akai's gaze was as cold and icy.

In the passenger seat, Yusaku Kudo's face was as heavy as leaden clouds before a storm. The air inside the car was thick and oppressive, and every breath felt suffocating, like rust.

In the back seat, Conan's body was taut like a fully drawn bowstring.

His mind raced, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through the fleeting light and shadows outside the car window.

"The Eye of Heaven... The Court of Gear Judgment... Twelve Rays of Light..."

The thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning, and a location seemed to emerge.

"The location is the Eye of the Sky! The Eye of the Sky Observation Deck!"

The Eye of the Sky is a rather tall building with stone-carved gears on its exterior facade, and a huge observation deck on the roof.

When sunlight shines through the twelve glass prisms of the dome, it projects beautiful rainbow-colored rays onto the observation deck floor, making it a very famous attraction.

"The Eye of the Sky?!" Yukiko exclaimed in shock, her heart instantly gripped by an invisible hand, rising to her throat. "The view from there is expansive, and..."

“And it perfectly matches the description in the puzzle,” Yusaku Kudo added in a deep voice, affirming his son’s reasoning.

They are currently on their way to the Eye of the Sky.

"Binga chose that place so that we could have absolute surveillance and ensure that Shinichi would enter alone," Kudo Yusaku said coldly, dissecting the deadly trap set by his opponent.

Conan stared intently at the time on his watch: 11:36.

Six minutes have passed since the invitation was sent out! Considering the traffic lights and speed limits on Tokyo roads, as well as potential traffic jams, the number of roads that cars can travel on is limited.

When he reached a congested section of road, he had no choice but to rely on his skateboard.

"Shinichi..."

Seeing the heavy, anxious, and desperate look on her son's face, Yukiko suddenly grabbed his arm, her fingertips digging deep into his sleeve with excessive force.

Grief surged like a burst dam, tears welling in her eyes: "Shinichi, I'll go! I'll disguise myself as you and go there, Shinichi, you carry out the plan in secret..."

Since Binga has made his move, he can't possibly let Shinichi live.

She may never see her son again.

"no!"

Conan resolutely refused, and instead gripped his mother's trembling fingers tightly, patiently trying to dissuade her:

"Mom, absolutely not! Binga is after me; his goal is definitely to kill me. You can't go!"

This is the seed of disaster that Shinichi Kudo planted himself, the bomb that he detonated. How could he let his closest person enter this deadly danger center in his place?
