Chapter 137 Off Track

"What?!" Conan couldn't help but ran in from outside the exhibition hall, "Xiaolan didn't go to the city hall at all, so what if you installed a bomb?!"

Moritani Teiji turned to look at Conan. A flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness: "The place where Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi met is indeed not the city hall, but if...she plans to use it as a date." The gift of red daruma has a small flaw and needs to be sent to the main store in the city hall for replacement?"

"!!!"

Suddenly the expressions of everyone in the entire exhibition hall changed.

While Nobushige was astonished, he also had a deeper understanding of Moritani Teiji.

Conan only had time to make a warning call to Mao Lilan, and then heard a huge explosion on the phone.

"Sister Xiaolan!! Sister Xiaolan!!! How are you, can you hear my voice??"

Mouri Kogoro snatched the phone from Conan's hand: "Xiaolan!!"

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and nothing could be heard.

Mouri Kogoro was so angry that he grabbed Moritani Teiji by the collar: "Say! What on earth have you done?! What are you going to do to Xiaolan?"

"Hahahahaha." Moritani Teiji said with a ferocious smile, "I just sealed all the exits and passages of the city hall. The real excitement is yet to come! Kudo Shinichi, if you don't go there again, , your precious girlfriend is about to be blown to pieces hahahaha!!”

Conan was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Nobuhiro reacted immediately. He grabbed Conan and ran out: "Let's go to the city hall quickly!"

As we drove to the city hall, the orange-red sky ahead became more and more vivid. The ground shook several times, as if the air was filled with despair and panic.

As we got closer and closer to the city hall, Conan's expression became worse and worse.

Nobushige also tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Things have evolved beyond what was originally envisioned and are not even the same as in the original work.

Why nine o'clock?

They tried their best to solve the case and find the criminal as early as possible. Why did they advance the design of the explosion by a full hour? It was precisely because there was still an hour left before the appointment time between Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi that she ran to the city hall to replace some red daruma and encountered the current danger.

"orchid!!!"

Before Nobushige's car stopped, Conan rushed out quickly.

"Conan!!" Nobushige stopped him, took out a small bottle from his pocket and threw it over, "Maybe you can use it."

Conan caught the bottle and was stunned for a second before giving Nobuhiro a firm look, and then rushed into the first floor hall that was bombed into ruins without looking back.

…

Conan struggled through the ruins and rubble for a long time before he arrived outside the room where Mao Lilan was. However, the thick masonry and metal door in front of him blocked him, who had not yet evolved enough to kick satellites.

"Lan..." Conan dialed Mao Lilan's phone, "Fortunately, the signal is still there, I can still contact you."

Mao Lilan was still resolutely comforting the other people trapped here, but as soon as she heard a familiar voice, she couldn't help crying anymore: "What are you doing? Why do you always show up every time I need you?" I'm not here... Do you know how much hardship I have endured..."

"I know everything." Hearing Mao Lilan's sobbing voice, Conan felt as if his throat was being strangled and it was difficult to breathe. "I am at the exit now. I originally wanted to crawl through the gap in the rubble, but The force of the explosion was so great that the door was deformed and I couldn't open it even with all my strength."

Mao Lilan's mood calmed down a little, and she looked in the direction of Shinichi.

"Let me ask you first, is there anything suspicious like a handbag that no one wants in the hall? Look carefully." Conan asked.

However, Mao Lilan looked around and found nothing: "There are two handbags, but they all have owners. The hall is very empty, and you can see it all at a glance. There is nothing suspicious."

"How could it be?" Conan finally couldn't help but frowned.

He originally thought that the bomb was placed somewhere in the hall. As long as he went in or guided Mao Lilan to dismantle the bomb from the side, it would be fine. If that didn't work, he could contact Mr. Asano who knew something about bombs. But the current situation left him very confused.

"Mr. Asano, Mr. Asano!"

Nobushige didn't expect that he would hear Kudo Shinichi's voice from the badge of the Young Detective Corps. He took out the detective badge and put it to his mouth: "Have you found Miss Mori?"

"Yeah, but she's trapped inside the deformed metal door, and I can't get in."

Nobuhiro nodded slightly, thinking that things were not completely unexpected, at least they were still following the plot.

However, Conan's next sentence shattered his fantasy: "I want to ask you, where do criminals generally install bombs? You are more familiar with this aspect, maybe you know."

Nobuhiro's expression became more solemn: "You mean you haven't found the bomb yet?"

"Well, I asked Lan to observe the situation in the hall carefully, and she didn't find anything suspicious."

"Isn't that right?" Nobushige couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there some suspicious handbag?"

The person opposite the detective badge sighed: "I thought so too, but Lan said that things like handbags and handbags all have owners, and there are no suspicious items that are unclaimed."

Nobushige leaned on the driver's seat, holding his detective badge in one hand and stroking his chin with the other, thinking carefully.

If the plot doesn't make sense, then judge based on past experience.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, what kind of help can Zhu Fu Jingguang provide Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan?

"Kudo, listen to me." Nobushige said after pondering for a few seconds, "Moritani Teiji doesn't want all the bombs to explode at nine o'clock, because he wants to give you such a powerless and desperate moment, right? ? So he is unlikely to place the second batch of bombs in a conspicuous place. After all, there are too many uncertainties in the explosion. If debris accidentally hits the bombs, his plan will be shattered."

"You mean we guessed wrong from the beginning and he wouldn't leave the bomb disguised as unclaimed luggage in the lobby?"

"Yes. So I suggest you ask Miss Maori to find a place that is wrapped in metal and is not easily damaged, such as a distribution box safe or something like that."

"good!"

Listening to Kudo Shinichi's voice over there instructing Mao Lilan, Nobushige, who was outside the city hall, was not sure whether his inference was correct or not. He felt that he was even more nervous than Kudo Shinichi inside.

Speaking of which, did Conan find a bomb design from Moritani Teiji before he left...? ?

So wasn't it a bit silly for him to grab Conan and rush to the city hall? ?

Before Nobushige ran to ask Moritani Teiji for the bomb design, good news came from Conan:

"We found it, Mr. Asano, we found it. The bomb is installed in the cabinet at the front desk!!"
