Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

Just as the two were about to take the elevator to leave the mall, they were stopped by someone.

"Miho-sister, Ai-chan, are you guys here to go shopping?"

"It's Xiaolan!" Miyano Akemi turned around and saw that it was Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro. She lifted the shopping bag in her hand and said with a smile, "We are here to buy clothes."

Seeing that the two of them were empty-handed, Miyano Akemi asked, "Who are you and Mr. Maori?"

Xiaolan explained: "Dad received a strange commission and asked us to meet at the mall, but we waited for a long time and still didn't see the client."

"No more waiting! Let's go back too!" Kogoro Mouri was already impatient waiting.

As he said that, he walked forward and pressed the down button of the elevator.

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a khaki jacket and carrying a shoulder bag walked towards them.

"You...can't leave!"

"Hmm?" Maori Kogoro frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why can't we leave?"

"because……"

The middle-aged man unbuttoned his jacket.

I saw a row of plastic bombs tied with tape on his T-shirt under his jacket!

Several people changed color at the same time.

Maori Kogoro asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know what happened. I was knocked unconscious from behind in the bathroom. When I woke up, a masked man tied me up with this thing."

The man was sweating profusely. He swallowed hard and continued, "That person also threatened me, saying that there were pink bags like this in front of the escalator, stairs, and elevator. They were all bombs."

He pointed to the elevator where a pink bag was placed.

"He also said we were not allowed to call the police or allow anyone to come in or out, otherwise he would detonate the bomb!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately gave up the idea of calling the police.

"What does that person want?"

"He said he wanted to find out who sent the thirteen red T-shirts in this bag." The man said and put down the bag.

"Red T-shirt?" Kogoro Mouri was surprised because this was exactly the commission he received.

The man continued, "He said that the sender is definitely on this floor."

Ai Haibara glanced at the terrified crowd. The bomber should be among them.

Since the goal is to find the so-called sender, it would be meaningless if the bomber can't see it.

Moreover, if the bomber wanted to know the movements of the people on this floor, he would have to monitor them closely.

Therefore, it is very likely that the bomber was hiding in the crowd and observing all this.

In other words, the bomber is unlikely to detonate the bomb.

Maori Kogoro asked, "Is the sender on this floor?"

The man said, "Yes, he also said that as long as the man tells his name, he won't detonate the bomb."

"Hey, did you hear that?" Maori Kogoro shouted to the crowd around him: "The guy who sent the T-shirt, come out quickly!"

In the crowd, everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up.

The man continued, "Anyway, stop the escalator first. The elevator can't stop on this floor either."

Maori Kogoro said to himself, "Is he trying to trap us all on this floor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly caused panic among the crowd.

"I don't want to stay here!"

An old man ran towards the elevator first.

Someone took the lead, and others also ran towards the stairs and escalators.

However, at this moment, white smoke came out of the pink bags placed in three places at the same time, scaring back all the people who wanted to escape.

Maori Kogoro looked at the panicked crowd and shouted, "Calm down! Everyone calm down!"

"You all heard it, before finding the sender, if anyone tries to escape from here, he will detonate the bomb, and the same goes for calling the police!

So please don't act rashly. I, Maori Kogoro, will stake my reputation on you all and will definitely ensure your safety!"

"Is it that famous detective, the sleeping Kogoro?"

"It seems to be him, I remember now."

"Great, we are saved!"

After Kogoro Mouri revealed his identity, the crowd finally quieted down.

Huiyuan Ai looked at Xiaolan: "Hey, what commission did you receive?"

Xiaolan said, "Dad received a call saying they wanted him to help solve the puzzle of the red T-shirts that were sent to him every week, and asked him to meet at the sporting goods counter in the mall."

Haibara Ai nodded thoughtfully.

Over there, Maori Kogoro walked up to the counter clerk and asked, "Can you contact the person in charge of the mall?"

After receiving a positive response from the clerk, he said, "Please call the person in charge to explain the situation here and ask them to stop the escalator immediately and not let the elevator stop on this floor, okay?"

When it comes to reasoning, Kogoro Mouri, as a former detective, is still very reliable.

The clerk responded and ran back into the store.

Kogoro Mouri held his chin and felt troubled because there was too little information available.

How did the key bomber know the sender was on this floor?

Seeing this, Miyano Akemi reminded: "Mr. Maori, take a look at those red T-shirts first!"

The man brought the bag over.

"Uh." Maori Kogoro took the bag and glanced at the bomb on the man: "Sir, you'd better stay away from us."

The man quietly retreated to the elevator and stood there.

Then, several people took out all the red T-shirts from the bag.

According to the incomplete express receipt on the bag containing the T-shirts, the thirteen T-shirts were arranged according to time.

The T-shirts sent to me seven weeks ago, six weeks ago, and five weeks ago were all two pairs.

And only one was sent four weeks ago.

But I also sent two pieces three weeks ago, two weeks ago, and last week.

"Is there any meaning in this?"

"I don't know, except that the total number is thirteen..." Kogoro Mouri looked back and found that it was the man who asked the question.

"Hey, didn't I tell you not to come near me? You have a bomb strapped to your body!"

"No, sorry." The man retreated back to the elevator.

Haibara Ai glanced at the man, whose behavior seemed suspicious.

Normally, if an ordinary person knew that a bomb was strapped to his body, he would be scared out of his wits and would not be able to remember the bomber's many demands and relay them completely.

Moreover, the timing of this man's appearance was also a coincidence. It was just when they were about to leave the mall. To be precise, it was when Kogoro Mouri was about to leave.

Just then, Miyano Akemi's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Kitagawa Taki calling.

She exchanged a glance with Huibara Ai and answered the phone: "Hello, Taki-kun... Ai and I are outside and won't be back until later... Yeah, okay!"

After hanging up the phone, she did not tell Kitagawa Taki about their current situation.

Because I don't want Kitagawa Takiya to be involved in the danger of the bomb.
