"Bomb? What bomb?"
"There's a bomb in here."
Mika Town, downstairs of the Mori Office.
When Katsuki Uehara patted the black box in his hand and pointed it to Conan, the latter's eyes suddenly widened: "You carry a bomb everywhere with you???"
"Don't panic. As long as you don't force it open, this thing won't blow up your wife and father-in-law's house."
After briefly recounting what happened, Katsuki Uehara said nonchalantly: "Although the password has been tried now, considering Gin's character and style, I still have to be cautious."
"My wife and father-in-law, don't talk nonsense here."
Conan, who was fashionable and still had some tough-talking boy characteristics, rolled his eyes, protested seriously and asked the man to stop slandering him.
Obviously they are just childhood sweethearts, well...
Just childhood sweethearts.
Conan blinked with a slight guilty conscience, a hint of guilty conscience in it, but without realizing it, he abruptly changed the topic away——
"Gin, are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"Who knows, he doesn't seem to be panicking now." Uehara Katsuki, who threw the black box on the solar skateboard, squatted down and tinkered while saying: "Considering the current situation, we can create chaos to rescue him. The only one left is the undercover agent in the Metropolitan Police Department."
When Conan got down to business, his expression calmed down. He leaned against the wall and watched the man's movements and said thoughtfully, "Is that why you asked Officer Shiratori and the others to take turns to monitor and search the Chief of the First Division?"
"All the clues the police have now unknowingly point to Counselor Uno of the Criminal Division, especially after Vodka's FBI identity was confirmed. If it were you, would you believe it?"
"Won't."
Conan shook his head decisively: "Although I don't have conclusive evidence, I still don't believe that Vodka is from the FBI."
This is his intuition as a detective, and it is the experience he has accumulated after solving so many cases.
"So, I have been thinking about one thing since I caught Gin and his friends in the villa."
After fixing the black box on the solar skateboard, Katsuki Uehara patted the visible dust on his hands, stood up slowly, and turned his head to look at him: "Gin couldn't have known in advance that his lair would be exposed. So, why did he ask Vodka to pretend to be an FBI agent in the first place to gain the trust of the police?
"Obtain confidential information? The mole can do this job. There is no need to go to such trouble. After all, no matter how miserable the Metropolitan Police Department is, it will not let an FBI who has only known him for a short time come into contact with confidential information.
"Want to obtain the location of the Miyano sisters from Section 1? This purpose is quite possible. After all, judging from the existing information, Miyano Shiho, who took the lead in researching aptx-4869, did escape."
The five fingers of his right hand were inserted into his hair and scratched his scalp in distress. Katsuki Uehara bared his teeth and showed a hint of sadness in his eyebrows: "Forget it, where are you? Did you find anything?"
"No, nothing. In your email, you asked me to go to Mihua Central Hospital first. As a result, everything there is currently peaceful. In addition, I also wrote all these situations in the email based on what you said and sent it to the designated email address you gave me. .”
He raised his left index finger and tapped the hidden button on the frame. Looking at the flashing red dots on the mirror, Conan shook his head: "But are you sure that Miyano Shiho, who is lying on the hospital bed and does not know whether he is alive or dead, is the one who caused me to become Such a culprit? Why is she so miserable? "
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Uehara Katsuki sighed, looking like a broken jar.
Asano Shimi's illness notice changed almost every three or four hours, which made others numb. If this continued, he would have to wonder whether Haibara Ai would disappear from this world with the death of Miyano Shiho. .
You can't give Miyano Shiho a pill just for a gamble, right?
Besides, even if he wanted to gamble on the metaphysics of A-drugs to cure diseases and save people, he didn't have the finished product of A-drugs. Gin and his friends were arrested without a hair on their bodies except guns.
Seeing the man's appearance, Conan swallowed back the questions that were already on his lips.
He was actually quite curious as to why Katsumi Uehara asked a person like him, who looked like a child, to do such a thing. Logically speaking, he was a fellow police officer. Shouldn't it be more convenient for him, the police department, to notify him directly?
Even if he couldn't get away at the time, he could just send an email to notify him. Why should he bother with it?
Or is it that the people currently in Mihua Central Hospital are not affiliated with the Metropolitan Police Department?
"Forget it, let's not think about this for now."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his mind was filled with confusion. Uehara Katsumi shook his head and threw the black box and the skateboard into the back seat of his car: "Get in the car, Conan."
"Um."
The magenta evo was racing all the way, and gradually arrived at the sparsely populated suburban wasteland.
After arriving at the destination, Uehara Katsumi put on gloves and put on the semi-finished extended manipulator props that Conan brought from Dr. Agasa's house on both arms. "Here we go."
"no problem."
After pressing the button on the tracking glasses, Conan made an OK gesture——
The next second, the solar skateboard placed on the ground rushed forward!
If it hadn't been for an extended mechanical arm that firmly grasped it, it might have gone somewhere by now. Katsuki Uehara, who was far away, was concentrating on it, and controlled the other robot hand to slowly type out the password he got from Vodka——
With a "click" sound, the black box opened.
A stack of black and white information was piled inside, and at the same time, there was a flashing bomb display with a two-second countdown!
Katsuki Uehara, who had expected it, didn't panic at all. The robotic arm instantly let go, and the solar skateboard rushed forward——
boom!
!
The sound of the explosion was accompanied by the fragments of the mechanical arm and the solar skateboard that brushed against the corners of the suits of the two men, one large and one small. Conan, who was responsible for freezing the scene, looked at the data captured by the tracking glasses, and his face could not help but darken——
"Uehara, it's still Counselor Uno, but there are many bed photos of him half-naked."
"...It seems that our Counselor Uno is still as strong as before in his fifties." Uehara Katsumi was not surprised. He took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, but Miwako Sato's number was called first——
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Uehara, I'm back. How's it going? What's in the black box?"
"Didn't Vodka tell you when he was in the hospital?"
"I asked him, and Agent Uozuka's answer was that he didn't know what was in it, he only knew the password that Gin usually used."
In the Metropolitan Police Department, Miwako Sato waited until the elevator door opened and looked up to see the hustle and bustle in the three-series office area that was completely different from the past——
"Your name is Megure Thirteen, right?! My husband is the counselor of the Criminal Department! I want to see him!"
"Sorry, Mrs. Uno, you are also one of our suspects now."
Megure Thirteen pressed down the brim of his hat and faced the somewhat shrewish woman in front of him with a serious face: "As for the fact that you have privately accepted a large amount of cash from Kenzo Masayama, I hope you can explain it to us. .”
"Impossible! I never took the money! Also, I don't know Kenzo Masama at all!" The shrewish woman's face suddenly became a little uncertain, and she denied it.
