Chapter 1324 Hunter Disguised as Prey

The huge explosion caused Conan to have tinnitus for a moment. He couldn't hear anything and could only feel Mao Lilan's panic underneath him.

Soon, a strong force pulled Conan away - it was Maori Kogoro, who was checking Maori Lan's situation in a panic. Only then did Conan realize that the pain he had expected did not appear, and the glass shards did not scratch his back.

how come?

Conan looked blankly in the direction of Mouri Kogoro, and was shocked to see that there were large and small scars on his uncle's shoulders and arms, and the blood soaked his shirt, which looked shocking.

Did uncle protect him just now?

"Xiaolan! How are you? Are you injured anywhere?" Mouri Kogoro asked anxiously.

Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed. She straightened up and said with an ugly face: "I'm fine. Where is dad? And Conan..."

Her eyes fell on the wound on Mouri Kogoro's arm, and she suddenly became anxious: "Dad, you are injured!"

"It's just a minor injury!" Mouri Kogoro subconsciously hid his injured arm behind his back, "There may be a secondary explosion here, we have to leave quickly!"

he practically yelled at the driver.

The driver quickly started the car and hurriedly left the scene.

Conan turned around and looked hard at the conference center, which was already in a mess.

Judging from the situation at the explosion site, it seemed that the explosion occurred indoors, and the aftermath was enough to shatter the windows of passing vehicles, which shows how terrifying the explosion was.

The conference center was reduced to scorched earth, and moans and shouts could be heard from time to time. The area was in chaos, with some calling the police and others trying their best to save people.

"Let me get off!" Conan suddenly shouted loudly.

"No!" Mouri Kogoro stopped him without hesitation, "It's too dangerous there!"

"What if Mr. Asano is inside? Besides, there should be many people injured and trapped in the venue!"

Of course Mouri Kogoro also wants to save people, but he is not alone now. His daughter is by his side, so he cannot be willful. After listening to Conan's words, Mouri Kogoro gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Driver, please take my daughter and this child to the hotel. I will get off at the roadside."

The car pulled over and Mouri Kogoro resolutely became a rebel.

However, before he had walked a few steps, he heard a familiar voice next to him saying: "Even in the United States, it is still unusual for so many bombings to occur in the same city in one day."

"Yes." Mouri Kogoro nodded frequently, "Probably a terrorist organization will soon claim responsibility for this."

Just as he was talking, Mouri Kogoro suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down and saw Edogawa Conan with a serious face next to him.

"..."

"Bang bang——"

"It hurts, it hurts..." Conan held his head and was about to cry without tears, "Uncle, why did you hit me again?!"

Mouri Kogoro glared angrily: "Didn't I ask you to go back to the hotel with Xiaolan? Don't you know how dangerous the explosion site is?!"

"Ahem." Conan made excuses for himself in a panic, "My glasses fell to the ground just now. By the time I picked them up, the car had already driven away."

Mouri Kogoro would not believe Conan's lies, but the kid was already here, and he could only do his best to fulfill his responsibility as a guardian, watch over Conan and prevent him from running around.

However, the next second, Conan slipped into the ruined conference center. Mouri Kogoro wanted to catch him, but unfortunately his hand only touched Conan's strap.

hateful! Sure enough, we shouldn't have allowed this brat to follow us!

Although they say they are here to see Mr. Asano, in fact Conan and the others don't even know whether Asano Nobushige has come to the United States, let alone whether he participated in today's event.

Conan's eyes passed over some signs nearby. These signs had become dilapidated due to explosions and fires, but he could still vaguely make out the word "TENSE" painted on them.

Since it is a matter of TENSE Group, it is always right to ask Mr. Asano.

Conan and Mouri Kogoro worked together to rescue many injured people from the conference center. Moori Kogoro was already injured, and the injuries became more serious. The blood mixed with sweat soaked the clothes, causing the fabric to stick tightly to the wound. It hurt when it was torn off slightly, making Uncle Maori look hideous.

While accompanying Mouri Kogoro in the ambulance to treat his wounds, Conan dialed Asano Nobuhige's number.

At the same time, a few kilometers away from the explosion site, Nobuhiro's car was still trapped between several large trucks due to a car accident, unable to move. And he had already learned about the explosion that just happened through the Internet.

The atmosphere in the car was not very relaxing.

Any fool knows who this explosion is aimed at.

It is not a secret that the President of TENSE Group Asia Pacific will attend the event. Anyone who is interested can learn about Asano Nobushige's itinerary by paying a little attention.

Someone wants to assassinate Asano Nobushige!

This is what most people are thinking right now, including the American police who rushed to the scene for the first time to investigate.

As for Nobuhiro, he thought more about it than others.

Just like what he said to Rei Fukiya and Jinpei Matsuda before, he has a time bomb in his chest that can threaten the world, so in a sense, he is the safest person.

The organization definitely doesn't want anything to happen to him prematurely, and they will try to keep him as safe as possible.

It was obvious that the trucks blocking his path were no accident. Whoever they were written by, that person must have known about the impending bombing and knew all about his itinerary, even the Dark Baron on his chest.

The first two are easy to master, but the Dark Baron... I'm afraid only a very small number of senior leaders in the organization know about it.

And this then raises another question - were the series of public safety incidents that occurred today caused by the organization? Or is it that the organization is only aware of the situation and is not the real culprit behind the scenes?

The phone rang, and Edogawa Conan's name was displayed on the screen.

Well, calculating the time, they should have arrived.

Nobushige picked up the phone, and Conan's voice came out immediately: "Brother Asano, are you in the United States now?"

It was very noisy on Conan's side, and the sirens of ambulances and police cars could be vaguely heard.

Nobushige understood immediately: "Are you at the conference center?"

Conan was slightly stunned: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Brother Asano, but since you know, you should also be in the United States, right?"

"Where are Mr. Mori and Miss Xiaolan?" Nobuhiro did not answer Conan's question directly, but asked with concern.

"Uncle is treating the wound next to me. He was slightly injured when he was rescuing people. Sister Xiaolan is not with us. She went back to the hotel first." Conan added, "By the way, we live in JUKE in the United States. hotel."

With the arrival of Maori Kogoro, his daughter and Conan, the situation in the United States seems to be getting more and more chaotic.

What do Rum and that gentleman want to do?

"You go and meet Miss Xiaolan first. It's too dangerous outside, so be careful." Xinfan specifically warned.

"You should be the bomber's target, right, Brother Asano? I heard that another bombing that happened this morning was also related to TENSE."

Nobuhiro frowned: "The police will find out about these things. Children, don't worry so much."

Conan swallowed back the rest of his words: "Okay, we'll wait for you at the hotel."

Um?

Conan gave up so decisively, which surprised Nobuhiro a little.

He didn't stalk him? This is not like Kudo Shinichi.

Conan put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"I don't know where Brother Asano is, but it sounds like he should be fine."

"Humph, this TENSE Group really has a problem, and it insists on standing at the forefront. Something will happen now!" Mouri Kogoro complained angrily, "Asano is the same, if you can be my agent well, you won't be in danger. ”

Conan was helpless: "Uncle's agent doesn't seem to be a safe profession, right?"

"What are you talking about?!" Uncle Maoli clenched his fists.

Conan hurriedly begged for mercy in order to prevent the double balls of ice cream on his head from escalating.

…

A small town in the eastern United States is home to a group of peace-loving and charitable residents. The terrorist attacks and shootings that have occurred in many places have not had much impact on this town.

The entrance to the town's only high school is always enveloped by the noisy sounds of teenagers after school.

Amid all the laughter, a young Asian woman seemed out of place. She stared at the phone with a serious and silent expression.

"Sister!" Bentang Yingyou said goodbye to his friend, walked to his sister, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Our hall Yinghai did not hide anything, and explained to his younger brother: "A CIA weapons depot was stolen, and the list of missing items has not been compiled yet."

Hong Yingyou knew what this meant. He pursed his lips and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"I..." Our hall Yinghai didn't think of how to answer for a while.

She has been separated from the identity of "Kiel" for some time, but the main hall Ehai did not completely say goodbye to her past life as Eyou wished. Instead, after a few days of rest, she returned to the CIA and continued her career as an agent.

For the safety of his younger brother, Hondo Yinghai hid him in this humble town, and the CIA would also block his whereabouts and address. But Yinghai is destined not to be by Yingyou's side all the time. Just like now, she has to fulfill her responsibilities.

"When was the weapons depot stolen?" Yingyou suddenly asked.

Our hall, Yinghai, was slightly stunned and answered truthfully: "The incident should have happened three days ago, but the CIA didn't find out until early this morning."

"Three days?" A look of understanding appeared on Yingyou's face, "What a coincidence. I heard that shootings and explosions have been frequent across the United States recently."

Of course the main hall Yinghai also knew about this matter, but he had never thought about it deeply before. After hearing what her brother said, she suddenly became serious: "I will tell everyone about this."

"Well, when are you leaving?"

"It's an emergency, please do it as soon as possible."

"careful."

"Yes." Bentang Yinghai laughed, "You have to take care of yourself at home and wait for me to come back."

As she just said, the CIA takes this matter very seriously, and even Hondo Ekai, an employee who was on semi-vacation, was urgently recalled. The only thing she couldn't worry about was her younger brother, but his brother was far safer staying here than following her.

In addition to the CIA, the US federal government also attaches great importance to this matter. After all, after experiencing the pain of 911, they have already entered a state of complete insecurity. The slightest disturbance can make the authorities extremely nervous.

Just when the government strengthened safety inspections and even began to discuss whether to block airspace, an even bigger disaster occurred.

At that time, Nobushige was in the conference room of JUKE Hotel, discussing follow-up work arrangements with senior executives of TENSE Group. Suddenly, his subordinates barged into the conference room without knocking.

Belmod had already begun to yawn drowsily, but upon seeing this, he suddenly became interested.

The subordinate leaned down and whispered in Nobushige's ear: "Emergency, there was an explosion in the TENSE Building in New York, the casualties are unknown, and the whereabouts of the chairman is unknown."

Nobuhiro: "???"

If it weren't for the fact that he was sure that the red side had no time to do anything against the organization now, he would even wonder whether the intelligence agencies of some countries did it deliberately.

"What's wrong?" Belmode asked with interest.

Xinfan glanced at her and said strangely: "Something happened to your uncle, and his life or death is unknown."

My uncle?

Although Belmod currently has no relatives at all, the strange thing is that she actually understands what Mescal is talking about.

Belmod's expression was slightly stiff, but his mood was cheerful: "Ah, this is really the best news I heard today. But, he shouldn't die so easily."

"That's it for today's meeting." Nobuhiro looked around and said calmly, "In addition, all TENSE's recent activities have been cancelled."

"yes."

After such a big incident, even the chairman may have been assassinated. TENSE currently does not have any extra energy to continue to implement the Noah's Ark plan.

This was supposed to be good news, but Xinfan was not happy at all.

No one likes to be fooled by someone else's own tricks.

After the meeting, Nobuhiro immediately called Rum.

It sounds like Rum is still in New York, maybe even in the ruins of the TENSE building.

"I have arranged a press conference tonight, and the speech text has been sent to you. Please familiarize yourself with it and don't say anything you shouldn't say." Rum quickly instructed, "I still have something to do here. If you encounter any problems, please contact me."

After saying that, he actually cut off the call.

"It sounds like something really happened to that person?" Belmod appeared from behind Nobuhiro like a ghost, "It's incredible. The person who planned the plan can actually stumble."

Nobuhiro said coldly: "Have you ever heard of a saying that a good hunter often appears in the image of his prey?"

"Hmm? Are you so confident in that one?"

Nobushige ignored Bermod, and sighed in a low voice: "The chairman of TENSE Group was killed, and the FBI is finally going to take action..."

Unlike the CIA, the FBI is better at investigating such domestic and cross-state criminal cases, and they will not miss such a good opportunity. I just don’t know what Akai Shuichi’s reaction will be.
