Chapter 1 The First Trial

Rice Flower Municipal Building.

The darkness of midnight is dispelled by bright lights, and the dazzling nightlife of the metropolis has just begun.

The building is crowded with people, noisy and lively, and is contrasted with the quiet starry sky outside the window. The rows of shops, dazzling goods, incense floating around, and air conditioners that are full of air conditioning make people linger.

In this lively atmosphere, a thin black figure seemed out of place. The weather in late spring in Tokyo was already a little hot, but he was wearing a long windbreaker with a black stand-up collar, covering himself tightly. The black top hat casts shadows, hiding most of his face, leaving only a smooth chin.

The strange gazes of passers-by did not have any effect on Gu Shuiquan. He had long been accustomed to this gaze. He exuded a cold breath all over his body, and he walked through the crowd with expressionless expression. Wherever he passed, he couldn't help but stand upright.

Finally, he arrived at the fifth floor of Mihua No. 1 Movie City, stopped and looked at the red figure who was on the phone - Ran Maori, and a smile flashed away.

Found you.

———

Ran Maori came to the front desk curiously and took the phone call. Today, he made an appointment with Shinichi to watch a movie together. He spent his time preparing a birthday gift and specially chose a midnight movie, just to be the first to celebrate him in the early morning.

As a result, this hateful guy didn't arrive on time.

I answered the phone call from the front desk. Before she could speak, Conan's hoarse warning sounded on the other side of the phone. Before she could react, the explosion suddenly happened.

The sudden explosion spread the panic among the crowd. The panicked people ran around everywhere. Fortunately, they avoided the people in the explosion center and fled in panic, waiting for the police arrangements in the safe area with lingering fear.

And some unfortunate people - those who unfortunately chose to watch the same movie as Xiaolan, were trapped in the movie city and could only hide in the corner and tremble.

Gu Shuiquan stood motionless next to the front desk - this was the place where the entire theater version had been safe in his impression, watching the messy scene silently.

Faced with this sudden disaster, people are at a loss. After all, this is a world that has been passed down for a long time - at least people who live here think it is like this. It is normal for people who are inexperienced to bump into like headless flies when encountering emergencies, and there is no need to be too demanding.

In addition to the expected Tani Shuizumi, the first person to recover from calmness was this "ordinary" female high school student Ran Mouri.

She was able to calm down so quickly, in addition to her tough personality, she was forced to be "informed" by life. When Ran Maori encountered a piano thread cutting case in a tropical paradise, she was scared and cried for a long time by the headless corpse.

The phone at the front desk rang again, and the ding-ringing sound made the person who had just experienced the explosion tighten his heart. After comforting the young couple, Ran Mori turned around and looked at the man in black standing next to him like a statue. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to answer the phone.

"Hello."

"Xiaolan?"

"Shinichi!" Xiaolan was shocked and then turned to anger.

"That's great, the phone line is not broken."

"What are you doing? Why are you always not here at the critical moment! It's like this every time. Do you know what happened to me now?" As he said that, tears overflowed from his eyes.

"I know, I'm now outside the emergency exit blocked by rubble. I finally got into the gap in Valli just now. But due to the impact of the explosion, the door was deformed and I couldn't open it.

By the way, are there any suspicious items like briefcases or suitcases in the lobby?”

"Suspicious item?" Ran Maori stopped sadness after hearing this, looked around and found a pink handbag, then carried it back to the front desk and placed it on the table.

"I don't know what it is, it's a heavy bag with something like an electronic watch on it."

When Gu Shuiquan heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth. Did Xiaolan not even recognize the bomb at this time?

"That's that, that's a bomb."

"Bomb!" Ran Maori couldn't help but scream. The onlookers around who heard this had just barely calmed down instantly exploded, and the atmosphere returned to a state of disorder and chaos.

More than a dozen people rolled and crawled away from Xiaolan, and their movements were so swift that Ran Maori couldn't help but sweat in Doudou's eyes.

Ran Mori looked at Tani Mizuki again curiously, standing beside him, still motionless. Tani Mizuki reached out to make a call, which made Koran very confused, so he had to continue talking to Shinichi Kudo.

"Lan, how much time is left?"

"Wait a minute, there are 42 minutes and 7 seconds left."

Time passed slowly in the anxious and worried waiting, and Conan decided not to wait any longer.

"Hey, Lan, do you have scissors on you?"

"Well, there are small scissors for sewing, what do you want to do with scissors?"

"I want you to remove the bomb."

Even though Ran Maori was already more knowledgeable than ordinary people, he was still surprised.

But she quickly calmed down and began to carry out bomb dismantling work with strong and calmness under Conan's guidance.

Although she was ragged and covered in stains, she could be said to be the most embarrassing of everyone present, but she was the center of everyone's eyes, and every move involved everyone's mind.

The police can't count on it for the time being. It's natural that someone can stand up and take the pressure, especially if you're a high school student, that's even better.

After all, Japan's savior has always been a high school student. It is actually reasonable to think about it carefully. If it were a social animal, they would probably discuss it happily when they heard that the end of the world was approaching, aliens invaded, and giants siege the city. Now they don't have to pay the mortgage and car loan, so let's go to the izakaya to celebrate together!

In Japan, where the pressure is huge and the suicide rate has remained high for years, this mentality is really too common.

Anyway, as a bully, he was not very alive. He was plagued by occupational diseases and was dying. He had to bear the pressure of survival of the family and struggled on the line of sudden death. He was criticized by his boss every day and had no dignity. When he got home, he had to face the yellow-faced woman who no longer had her youth and was nagging, and the unworthy children of the rebellious period.

This kind of day is over, and it's really a little surprise. It's all at once. Saving the world and other things should be the big guys who should live smoothly and have whatever they want. After all, they are the ones who are most reluctant to leave this world. Only the world can continue to enjoy and exploit.

In addition to these winners in life, there are only the young girls who have not been beaten by society, who have the interest to save the world.

Time passed slowly, and the explosion came again, interrupting the affectionate confession between Ran Mori and Shinichi Kudo. She quickly picked up the bomb and avoided the floor that fell above her head. Then, she carefully placed it on the ground, knelt on one side, holding small scissors in her hand, looking at the remaining red and blue lines, and fell into memories.

"Cut the blue line." Gu Shuiquan said, "It is not a good habit to always fall into memories at the critical moment of life and death, especially the relish of the parties involved. To outsiders, it seems that they are just a simple daze, which is not normal at all.
