Chapter 140 Don’t Guess What Crazy Thoughts Are
"boom--"
The deafening sound of explosions resounded through the sky.
When Mouri Kogoro was affected by the heat wave of the explosion, he was questioning Moritani Teiji: "This is... Moritani Teiji! What did you do to Xiaolan?!"
"Hahahaha——" Moritani Teiji smiled so hard that the corners of his eyes were moist. The more he laughed like this, the more Mouri Kogoro became angry. "Don't worry, detective. The show is only about to begin now!"
"Don't stop me!! I want to go in and save Xiaolan!!" Mouri Kogoro seemed to be stunned, struggling to walk into the ruins.
Moritani Teiji stared at his figure, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "Is this the sad love between father and daughter? Unfortunately, architecture does not need emotions. Life does not need..."
…
The moment the bomb exploded, Nobushige's body reacted before his brain, and he hid in the safest corner of the triangle at a cunning and weird angle and method.
The bomb exploded in the distance, so it did not cause direct harm to the people trapped on this side of the hall. However, the collapsed building completely blocked Nobuhiro's escape route, and a beam happened to fall between him and Conan.
"..." Nobuhiro stared at the dark ruins in front, back, left and right, then looked at the detective badge that was broken just now, and sighed helplessly.
He had clearly thought about it from the beginning, but he still carried a heavy burden on his shoulders. Giving up his life here for a few people was a huge loss no matter how he calculated it.
But why is he inexplicably trapped in a place like this now?
Sure enough, you shouldn't have come in looking for Conan just now, right?
Giving something away for free is too cheap...
However, even though Nobuhiro thought this, he had no regrets at all. On the one hand, he can ensure that his life is safe and not harmed. On the other hand, he may not even notice that when danger comes, some people's values engraved in their bones will make them make subconscious choices.
…
The sudden explosion not only cut off the connection between Conan and Nobutushige, but also forced him to stay away from the deformed metal door.
"Xiaolan!" Conan was anxiously concerned about the girl on the other side of the phone. "How are you? Are you injured?"
Mao Lilan was choked by the dust in the air and coughed several times: "Fortunately, the explosion did not happen here. It seems that we were just affected."
Conan's eyebrows relaxed for a moment and then frowned tightly.
wrong……
According to the previous analysis with Mr. Asano, if there are other second batch of bombs, then these bombs should be Moritani Teiji's last weight. How could he install these bombs elsewhere?
What he obviously wants to do most is to blow up the unsatisfactory works and let Kudo Shinichi taste the feeling of losing his beloved. How could he miss the perfect opportunity to hurt Mao Lilan?
The more Conan thought about it, the more something was wrong. However, Mr. Asano, who had just asked the police to help calculate the remaining amount of explosives, was now out of contact. He could not speculate on the subsequent situation based on this.
It seems that we are really in trouble.
"Hey, Shinichi." Mao Lilan suddenly called, "Happy birthday to you."
Conan was stunned.
The next second, bursts of bells suddenly came from a distant place, and they struck twelve times before stopping.
It's already twelve o'clock... Time flies so fast.
Conan leaned against the ruins dejectedly, tilting his head slightly to hold his cell phone, and struggling to hold the voice changer with one hand.
Fortunately, Xiaolan was not allowed to see herself in such a mess, otherwise she would have been disappointed.
"Xinyi." Mao Lilan's voice was distant and ethereal.
Conan obviously couldn't see it, but he still turned his head in the direction of Mao Lilan: "Huh?"
"I'm thinking, maybe I'll never have the chance to say something like this to you again."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you can survive, so can I!"
Mao Lilan chuckled and shook his head: "It is sometimes difficult to accept reality, but sometimes it is not as difficult as imagined. I am very happy that you are the one accompanying me in this last moment, Shinichi."
Conan listened to her voice and said nothing for several seconds.
He stared blankly at his young body belonging to Edogawa Conan, and suddenly made a decision.
"Lan." Conan whispered Maori Lan's name, "Yes, I have always been here. Kudo Shinichi has always been by your side."
Saying this, he freed up his other hand and took out the small bottle that Mr. Asano had given him before from his pocket, which contained high-alcohol white wine.
But Conan didn't know that there was some short-acting antidote of APTX-4869 added to the vial of Baigan.
It was something that several senior scientific researchers from the black organization worked hard for several days and nights to research. Within the organization, its scientific name is "cell differentiation and proliferation hormone."
Almost as soon as he finished his work, Conan felt a warm current starting from his abdomen and flowing throughout his body. Unlike the last time when I got bigger, it felt like my whole body was burning. Although it was painful today, it was at least bearable.
Could it be because his cold this time was not that serious?
A few minutes later, Conan had completely transformed into Kudo Shinichi.
I don’t know why, but there happens to be a clothing store next to it. At this time, the entire store was buried in rubble, and Kudo Shinichi successfully pulled out a suit of suitable men's clothing.
He could finally accompany Mao Lilan as Kudo Shinichi, and even... maybe the two of them accompanied each other through the last few minutes of their lives.
So good...
…
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan have been in love for a long time. They even took this opportunity to say many unsaid things in the past. It can even be said that they just barely confessed.
However, until police rescuers broke through the rubble, the imaginary bomb did not explode.
"Report! The trapped people have been found!"
"Report! All thirteen missing people have been found!"
"Three people were slightly injured, no one died!"
Along with the reports, many trapped people had relaxed and happy smiles on their faces.
Kudo Shinichi finally saw Maori Lan coming out of the hall with the help of rescuers: "Lan!"
"Shinichi!" Mao Lilan was originally very strong, but no matter how strong her disguise was, it was shattered instantly after seeing the person she thought about day and night.
She called Kudo Shinichi's name and at the same time threw herself into his arms, hugging the man who had disappeared for a long time tightly.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Kudo Shinichi gently patted Mao Lilan's shoulder, his eyes softened a lot, "Originally, Mr. Asano and I were worried..."
He suddenly raised his head and asked, "How many people are trapped in the hall?"
Mao Lilan was a little confused: "Take me with you, a total of twelve."
"Does that mean that Mr. Asano is not among the missing persons investigated by the police?" Kudo Shinichi's expression became very nervous instantly, "Mr. Policeman! Mr. Policeman! There should be another person trapped on the first floor!"
