Dongdu Railway Dispatching Station.

"There are currently 21 trains in motion and we have arranged for train conductors to conduct a detailed inspection of all areas on the trains."

Station Chief Sakaguchi explained the current situation to Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori.

Officer Megure said: "Our police are checking the situation outside the train through cameras along the line."

"Where exactly is the bomb?" Kogoro Mouri pondered over it but could not come to a conclusion.

"At such a critical moment, where on earth did Brother Kudo go?"

Inspector Megure was a little depressed. These explosions were obviously closely related to Kudo Shinichi, but this guy, the real culprit, never showed up.

At this time, Inspector Megure's phone rang.

"Hi, I'm Megure."

The person on the other end of the phone was Kitagawa Taki. He felt that as an insider of the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure must know something.

Kitagawa Taki got straight to the point: "Officer Megure, it's me, Kitagawa Taki. I want to ask what exactly happened on the Toudou Loop Line?"

"It's Brother Kitagawa!" Inspector Megure slapped his forehead. How could he forget about Kitagawa Taki!

"In fact, a bomb was planted on the Dongdu Loop Line..."

Inspector Megure told the whole story in detail.

"bomb?"

Beichuan Taki couldn't help but feel nervous. If there really was a bomb, the golden talisman would not be able to stop it now!

Inspector Megure asked anxiously, "Brother Kitagawa, can you figure out what the mysterious man meant by 'XX of X'?"

Kitagawa Taki didn't respond, but instead asked, "Where do you infer the bomb is?"

"us?"

"Correct."

"My brother Maori and I suspect the bomb is under the car body, on the grid, or under the seat. We are currently investigating."

"I see. If I have any results, I will contact you immediately."

In the office, Kitagawa Taki put down the phone.

According to the Maori elimination method, the bomb is definitely not in those three places, so where is it?

"Taki-kun, what should we do?"

Hearing that there was a bomb on the Toudou Loop Line, Miyano Akemi paced around the house anxiously.

Beichuan Taki said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, I will tell Xiao Ai about the situation. She is in the car and should know more."

So, Kitagawa Taki called Haibara Ai.

"Xiao Ai, it's me. What's the situation in the car now?"

"The train staff are checking the luggage and the interior of the train." Huiyuan Ai first explained what was happening on the train, then lowered her voice and asked, "Is there a bomb on the train?"

"You know?!" Kitagawa Taki said in surprise.

"There is indeed a bomb, but it's not necessarily on the train. According to the criminal, the bomb is located at 'XX of XX', requiring the train to travel at no less than 60 kilometers per hour, and the bomb will explode after sunset."

Kitagawa Taki didn't waste any time and directly told Haibara Ai the key information.

Kitagawa Taki added: "Also, the bomb was not under the car body, on the grid, or under the seat."

After listening to Kitagawa Taki's description, Haibara Ai did not panic, but fell into thought.

Time was running out, so she didn't ask Kitagawa Taki how he knew the bombs were not in those three places.

The phone was not hung up, and no voice from Kitagawa Taki was heard. Both of them were wondering where the bomb was.

The bomb is probably not in the car. It will explode when the sun goes down. Sun, sun...

"I see." Haibara Ai raised her lips. "The bombs are between the rails. They shouldn't explode if there's light shining on them. When the train passes over the bombs, there will be a shadow for at least a few seconds. That's why the criminal is demanding the train's speed."

"Great! I'll contact the police immediately."

Kitagawa Taki suddenly realized what was going on and immediately called Officer Megure and told him the location of the bomb.

"So that's it!" Inspector Megure suddenly understood.

Kitagawa Taki said: "As long as the trains on the Touto Loop Line leave their original tracks, everything will be fine."

"I see. I'll make arrangements right away. Thanks to you this time, Brother Beichuan!"

Inspector Megure felt half relieved.

"Stationmaster Sakaguchi, did you hear everything?" Inspector Megure looked at Stationmaster Sakaguchi standing beside him.

Stationmaster Sakaguchi nodded and immediately went down to arrange train dispatching matters.

In the tense atmosphere, one of the trains left its original track and gradually slowed down until it safely dropped below 60 kilometers per hour. Only then did everyone feel completely relieved.

Next, all you have to do is follow the steps and have other trains do the same.

Just then, Inspector Megure received a call from Kudo Shinichi.

This time, he wasn't so excited. "Oh, it's Kudo, what's the matter?"

It turned out that Conan realized the exact location of the bomb from Dr. Agasa's casual words, so he immediately used the voice changer to call Inspector Megure.

Conan didn't notice that Officer Megure's tone was wrong, and said: "Officer Megure, I already know where the bomb is installed!"

Inspector Megure said calmly, "I know too. It's between the tracks."

Conan was surprised, "Hey - Officer, so you figured it out too?!"

"Brother Kitagawa just told me." Officer Megure said truthfully.

"Kitagawa Taki?"

Conan's mouth twitched. He was actually one step behind again.

"I say, Brother Kudo, where have you been? You have a lot to do with these bombings!" Inspector Megure's tone gradually became unfriendly.

Conan was also helpless, "Uh... I really can't get away, sorry..."

"Forget it, I have things to do here, so let's leave it at that for now!"

After saying that, Inspector Megure hung up the phone and continued to stare at the train dispatch.

Finally, with about 50 minutes left before sunset, all trains had left the Toudou Loop Line.

Kitagawa Taki and Miyano Akemi in the office also learned about this situation through the live broadcast of the TV station.

"Let's go, let's go pick up Ai."

Kitagawa Taki knew that Miyano Akemi must want to see Haibara Ai as soon as possible.

"Yeah." Miyano Akemi nodded vigorously.

The two of them walked downstairs.

"Mingmei, you drive, I'll see if I can find the bastard who planted the bomb." Kitagawa Taki sat in the passenger seat.

Kitagawa Taki immediately took out his cell phone and sent a message to Busujima Kiriko, asking her to investigate whether there were any suspicious people who had recently purchased materials needed to make bombs through underground channels.

The mysterious man stole dynamite from the Oriental powder depot, but making a bomb requires more than just dynamite.

After explaining everything to Busujima Kiriko, Kitagawa Taki put away his phone.

Miyano Akemi noticed that Kitagawa Taki was not using his usual phone and asked curiously, "Taki-kun, is it resolved?"

"Well, then we just have to wait for the news."
