"Shinichi, you're here!"
In the Rice Flower Building where the explosion had not yet occurred, Mao Lilan felt happy when she saw Kudo Shinichi's arrival, and couldn't help but take two steps forward to greet him.
"Xiaolan!"
Kudo Shinichi was equally happy to see Mao Lilan. Although he and Mao Lilan met every day, meeting Mao Lilan in this way felt like it had been a long time ago, and it felt like a world away.
Because of his joy, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but speed up his pace in order to meet Mao Lilan as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, his pace was so fast that he was forced to stop by a heart-pounding pain.
"Shinichi, what's wrong with you?"
Mao Lilan saw that Kudo Shinichi was about to break out in cold sweat from the pain, so he hurriedly stepped forward and expressed concern.
"No, it's okay. I was just in a hurry on the way here and accidentally hit something with my foot. I can't take too big a step now."
Kudo Shinichi had an embarrassed expression on his face.
Haibara Ai, if my Kudo family has no future, I will definitely not let you go!
"Ah, that's right..."
Mao Lilan was a little suspicious, because Kudo Shinichi didn't look like he had injured his foot just now, but it looked like... he had torn the ball?
Mao Lilan, who has no relevant experience (and is unlikely to have any), cannot be sure.
Kudo Shinichi didn't want to continue to struggle with Mao Lilan on this issue. His time was precious, so he quickly said to Mao Lilan: "It's still a long time before the movie starts. Let's go shopping first, and then find a place to eat." Let’s have dinner!”
"But your feet..."
Mao Lilan hesitated.
Kudo Shinichi injured his foot. You should take him to rest now. It would be better if you can find an ice pack to ice the injured area. How can you go shopping in the mall? This might make Kudo Shinichi's foot injury more serious. of.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just need to pay attention!"
Kudo Shinichi said with a smile, and then walked in a rather weird way, which is commonly known as... Naiba.
"oh……"
Mao Lilan's mouth twitched when she saw Kudo Shinichi's strange way of walking, but she still kept up with Kudo Shinichi's pace.
Walking together in the mall, Mao Lilan suddenly said to Kudo Shinichi: "By the way Shinichi, is it okay for you to appear in public like this? Aren't you afraid that the black organization will find out that you are still alive?"
Kudo Shinichi actually has such worries in his heart. Haibara Ai told him that the organization is very concerned about the people killed by "APTX4869" and will go out of its way to confirm whether they are dead. She is in a state of death, but now she has become a traitor within the organization. The organization may not restart the investigation of the "APTX4869" death list, so even if it becomes bigger again, Haibara Ai reminds Kudo Shinichi that he must not do anything provocative. When you see something that attracts attention, especially when you see a case, don’t rush towards it like Teddy. If someone from the organization discovers it, Mao Lilan, Dr. Ali, and even his parents far abroad, all those who are close to Kudo Shinichi Anyone can be wiped out by an organization.
Well, Sonoko Suzuki should be an exception. After all, she is the second lady of the Suzuki Zaibatsu. Even the black organization needs to consider whether it is worth fighting with the Suzuki Zaibatsu for the sake of Kudo Shinichi.
"It should be okay. After all, I..." Kudo Shinichi's expression became very embarrassed, "...I am just a has-been detective now. Compared to me, you are more eye-catching."
"ah?"
Mao Lilan looked around. Sure enough, people passing by in the mall cast curious glances at her from time to time. At this time, a girl happened to come over and said to Mao Lilan with a longing face: "Excuse me, are you Mao Lilan?" Miss Lan?"
"Ah, I am Mao Lilan, who are you?"
Mao Lilan looked at the strange girl in front of her and wondered.
The strange girl showed an expression of surprise: "It's really Sister Lan! I am your fan. I follow every case you solve. I also cut down every newspaper with news about you and post it on the wall to review every day. , I really like Sister Lan very much, can you give me an autograph?"
"Ah, this...okay!"
Mao Lilan laughed dryly.
"Great! Please sign it on my hand!"
After saying that, he immediately stretched out his left hand and handed over a marker pen with his right hand.
Faced with the fans' excessive enthusiasm, Mao Lilan could only smile bitterly and leave her name on her hand.
After getting the signature of the admirer, the strange girl made a happy voice: "It's really great. I am really the happiest person in the world. I will never wash these hands in my life!"
No, no, no, no matter what, you still need to wash your hands...
Mao Lilan complained in her heart while maintaining a polite smile.
Kudo Shinichi on the side watched all this awkwardly. Although he also knew the popularity of Mao Lilan, it was still too exaggerated for a fan to suddenly pop up and ask for an autograph while walking in the mall.
The strange girl smiled and took back the marker. Before leaving, her smiling eyes suddenly turned cold. She stared at Kudo Shinichi and moved her mouth at him.
Shinichi Kudo, who had learned lip reading in Hawaii, immediately read what the strange girl said.
"If you dare to attack Sister Lan, I will kill you!"
Kudo Shinichi swallowed his saliva. When did dating Xiaolan become such a dangerous thing? Should I still confess to Xiaolan?
Confessing to Xiaolan is for sure, but it seems that public dating is better, as he will be hacked to death.
But it seems that he was the one who pushed Xiaolan to the front desk and made her a "pretty girl detective". Is this considered self-imposed?
Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is just a small episode, and it does not prevent Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan from continuing to visit the mall, um, with inner eight.
"In response to the multiple explosions that occurred recently, the Metropolitan Police Department issued an emergency notice..."
The TV in the mall reported the recent explosion. When Kudo Shinichi saw this, he couldn't help but stop and watch.
"... our reporters will continue to report, the next news..."
After watching the news, Mao Lilan, who stopped with Kudo Shinichi, spoke first: "Sister Liangzi said that the recent bombings were all done by the same person, and he should have a lot of explosives on hand. She asked me not to go to crowded places during this period."
"Has the Metropolitan Police Department not found any clues about the bombing criminal?"
Kudo Shinichi asked.
"Except for confirming that the batch of explosives should be the batch stolen from the Dongyang Gunpowder Depot, there are currently no other clues."
Mao Lilan replied.
"Hey, it's true. I thought the Metropolitan Police Department had become more powerful, but it turns out it's still the same!"
Kudo Shinichi hummed.
The Metropolitan Police Department had stopped him from the crime scene several times before, but he still remembered this grudge.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The prisoner randomly planted explosives and then detonated them, leaving no clues at all. This leaves Sister Liangzi and the others helpless!"
Mao Lilan said good things about Yakushiji Ryoko.
"Indeed, even detectives are most afraid of this kind of indiscriminate attack!"
Kudo Shinichi did not make any sarcastic remarks.
"Furthermore, although the prisoner could not be caught, thanks to the efforts of the security department, no one was killed for the time being. This is a great blessing among misfortunes. It is a disaster for sister Yukiko and her subordinates. I heard that they I haven't slept much in the past few days, and I haven't taken off my police uniform, just to deal with the explosion that may happen at any time."
Mao Lilan continued.
"Sister Ryoko, sister Yukiko... Xiaolan, you have a really good relationship with the policemen at the Metropolitan Police Department."
Kudo Shinichi is a bit sour and authentic.
"Well, they are all very nice people. Don't have too many objections to the police. They have police regulations and they really shouldn't let idlers enter the crime scene."
Mao Lilan smiled.
Mao Lilan, who frequently went in and out of the Metropolitan Police Department due to various cases, has become a "treasure of the Metropolitan Police Department" and is very popular among the Metropolitan Police officers, especially since she once said that she would become a police officer in the future, which made some young police officers Let’s start planning directly on how to establish the “Maoliland’s highest line of defense”.
Mao Lilan, who was cared for by the police of the Metropolitan Police Department, naturally had a good sense of the police, and even thought that it would be good to become a female police officer in the future.
"Yes, yes, I'm just waiting around, I can't enter the crime scene..."
Kudo Shinichi said rather resentfully.
The two people "reunited after a long separation" walked in the mall, talking and laughing, and sometimes quarreling. It seemed that everything was back to the past.
As they walked, Mao Lilan said to Kudo Shinichi: "Shinichi, I'm going to the bathroom, please wait for me."
Kudo Shinichi nodded: "I'll only wait for you for five minutes, any more and I won't be there."
"I hate it, I'll be back soon!"
Mao Lilan blushed.
She went to the bathroom just to touch up her makeup, not that she wanted that.
The same goes for Kudo Shinichi. He regretted it after saying this.
Can't this irrepressible mouth say something nice?
Mao Lilan approached the bathroom, and Kudo Shinichi had his back to the bathroom. He was thinking about how to say nice things to Xiaolan after she came out to make her happy. Just as he was thinking about it, a huge explosion sound accompanied the shaking, and Kudo Shinichi was shaken. Kudo Shinichi was staggering around, and when he reacted, the door to the bathroom not far away had collapsed, and a large pile of rubble blocked the door. Kudo Shinichi wanted to get closer, but a second collapse followed, and stone debris continued to fall, and the door was blocked. Kudo Shinichi blocked the bathroom.
"Xiaolan!"
Kudo Shinichi, who was worried about the safety of Maori Ran in the bathroom, roared.
On a tall building in the distance, a middle-aged man with two strange mustaches on his upper lip looked at the tall rice flower building with a ferocious smile on his face.
"What's the budget shortfall, what's the economic downturn...how can you allow me to change my design at will? How can this be allowed! Let me destroy this ugly existence!"
After roaring, the middle-aged man pressed the detonator in his hand, and a loud bang sounded. Smoke and dust billowed out of the Rice Flower Building. The dozens of floors of the Rice Flower Building instantly turned into the Leaning Tower of Pisa, with the building tilting slightly.
"Humph, this is just the beginning..."
The middle-aged man was about to press the detonator again to detonate the second batch of explosives in the building when a gunshot rang out and he immediately threw away the detonator when his hand hurt.
"who?"
The middle-aged man said with a fierce expression.
The door to the rooftop was kicked open, and a beauty in police uniform with glasses pointed a gun at the middle-aged man with both hands, and said angrily: "Moritani Teiji, all the things you have done have been exposed, surrender now, You can also get a chance to confess and be lenient!”
Moritani Teiji, this is the name of this middle-aged man with a strange mustache. He is a famous Japanese architectural designer. He has presided over the design of many well-known domestic buildings. The Rice Flower Building that exploded in the distance is also the work of this man.
"Damn it, I haven't destroyed those works that shouldn't exist yet, and I haven't been caught yet!"
Moritani Teiji's arm was numb and he couldn't use it for a short time. He kicked the detonator on the ground towards the police uniform beauty, and then rushed towards her, intending to use his adult male body advantage to knock away the police uniform beauty and escape.
But the shoes Moritani wore were not called "Ashrikans", and the force he kicked on the detonator was not strong enough, nor was it accurate. The beauty in police uniform just dodged slightly to avoid the detonator, and at the same time, she kicked the detonator. Then he rushed towards Moritani Teiji and used a grappling technique to pin Moritani Teiji firmly to the ground.
"Violently assaulting a police officer will be punished with an additional penalty. Just wait until you finish your life in jail!"
The beauty in police uniform said.
After subduing Moritani Teiji, the beauty in police uniform took out the walkie-talkie and informed others: "The prisoner has been arrested. Inform everyone to rush to the Mihua Building to carry out rescue work. The building will collapse at any time. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Yes, Counselor!"
The police officer on the intercom hurriedly agreed.
"Hehehe..." Moritani Teiji, who was pinned to the ground by the beauty in police uniform, smiled sinisterly, "Are you the Counselor of the Security Department, Kanmachi Yukiko?"
Muromachi Yukiko put away the walkie-talkie, took out the handcuffs, and cuffed Moritani's hands behind his back.
"So what?"
Muromachi Yukiko said with a cold face.
She has no disdain for people who disturb public order and pose a huge threat to social stability, even if they are well-known domestic architects.
Moritani Teiji showed a proud smile: "In the Rice Flower Building, in addition to the batch of explosives that exploded at the beginning, I also buried a second batch. This batch of explosives can be detonated remotely by me, but I am also worried about accidents, so Just set a timed detonation for the explosives. Guess, after your men go in, will they be blown to pieces by the sudden explosion of the bomb... Bang! "
"How dare you! Hurry up and touch the bomb's timing setting, so you can still get a lighter sentence!"
Muromachi Yukiko said sternly.
Now the Rice Flower Building is already crumbling, and it feels like even a stronger wind can blow it down. If there is another explosion, the Rice Flower Building may really collapse.
"Impossible!" Moritani Teiji said firmly, "I will blow up the Rice Flower Building. Anyway, with my current crime, no matter how light the sentence is, I will never be able to get out of prison in my lifetime. Although I have not been able to blow up all the unsatisfactory works. It’s a bit regretful, but I will destroy this Rice Flower Building no matter what.”
"Then why are you telling me this?"
Muromachi Yukiko frowned.
"Let me go, and I will tell you the explosion time I set, so that your men can at least withdraw before the bomb explodes."
Emperor Moritani said to Muromachi Yukiko.
"Let you go? Let you go and plant bombs again?"
Muromachi Yukiko said angrily.
"That's right, in addition to the Rice Flower Building, I have several buildings to blow up. As long as I destroy those failed works, I will naturally come to the Metropolitan Police Department to surrender. Anyway, my identity has been exposed. I want to escape capture. It’s impossible, I just want to destroy those failed works, how about that?”
Moritani Teiji said in a consulting tone.
Muromachi Yukiko swallowed.
The ordinary people in the Rice Flower Building must be saved. This is the duty of the police. However, letting one's men enter a building that may explode at any time to save people is to disregard the safety of their men's lives, which is also against Yukiko Muromachi. If she knows the time when the bomb will explode, she can arrange a rescue plan calmly, but now she has no idea when the bomb will explode. Every decision she makes in the future will affect the lives of a group of people. Such psychological pressure makes Muromachi Yukiko's hands and feet trembled slightly.
"Xiaolan!"
Kudo Shinichi shouted at the bathroom door blocked by rubble. At this time, everyone else in the mall was already frantically escaping from this place that could collapse at any time. Only Kudo Shinichi was struggling to move the rubble. .
"Need a helping hand?"
Just when Kudo Shinichi was desperate, a familiar voice came from behind.
