Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 9 Shinkansen Explosion Incident

On this day, Maori Kogoro took Ran, Conan and the other three little ones to attend a friend's wedding. At this moment, everyone was sitting on the Shinkansen, Maori Kogoro was shaving himself, and Maori Ran was complaining on the side.

"Who would shave on the Shinkansen on their friend's wedding day?"

"No way, this is all work."

Conan had already changed into super-powered foot-enhancing shoes and glasses with eavesdropping and tracking functions, and was sitting in a chair beside him in a daze.

Obviously, this peaceful scene was immediately broken, as Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were clamoring about going on an adventure.

At this time, two figures, one big and one small, appeared in front of Conan. They were the novelist and the little girl.

Ayumi: "Ah, it's Uncle Orpheus and Alice!"

Genta: "You guys are taking the Shinkansen too."

Little girl: "Hello, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Conan."

Novelist: "Hello, children. Uncle is going to Tokyo to visit a friend who specializes in literature."

The novelist walked up to Maori Kogoro and handed over his business card. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Maori Kogoro. I've long heard of you. I'm Orpheus Delos, a mystery writer. I heard you recently solved the 'idol locked room murder case.' A celebrity friend of mine mentioned this to me. I wonder if I'd be lucky enough to hear your explanation of the case in person? It would be a great inspiration for my novel. Of course, I wouldn't waste your time in vain."

After that, the novelist took out a stack of "hard work fees". When Maori Kogoro heard that someone was praising his crime-solving skills and there was money to be earned, he was immediately overjoyed and pulled the novelist to talk about it non-stop.

Little girl: "Hey, Conan, Ayumi and the others are going on an adventure on the train, aren't you going?"

Ever since he'd learned from the composer about the complicated relationship between the novelist and the little girl, Conan had decided he couldn't treat the little girl like an ordinary child anymore, at least not the same as the other three actual elementary school students. He clearly felt that the little girl was far more mature than her appearance suggested.

"Which friend is Uncle Orpheus going to visit?"

"It's Miss Helena Adams. She's an excellent prose writer and poet. But she's blind and can't go out, so Dad took the initiative to go visit her."

Helena Adams? Another foreign friend. Conan silently memorized the names of all the people related to the novelist.

[Little girl: Sister Helena, are you doing okay living alone in Tokyo?]

[Blind Girl: I'm doing pretty well. Emma and Emily often come to help me.]

[Gardener: Emma's flower shop is right near Miss Helena's house. Since we're so close, of course I'll be happy to help.]

[Doctor: Yes, and this world is quite dangerous. If you live alone, Helena, you'll inevitably be targeted by others. We can better protect you by visiting you frequently.]

[Blind Woman: Thank you both very much.]

[Gardener: This is what Emma should do. (Happy)]

[Novelist: Speaking of which, Naib, the organization's gin and vodka will appear on this Shinkansen.]

[Mercenary: Yeah, I'm right next to them.]

[Explorer: Huh?]

[Mercenary: It's not a big deal. Just throw a briefcase with a bomb inside to the person making the deal.]

[Antique dealer: You've certainly been through a lot, and you're still so calm.]

[Mercenary: But the food on the train doesn't taste very good.]

[Toy Merchant: Wherever you go, eat wherever you want? How dare you, the people who organized you, have no problem with you?]

[Mercenary: I completed my mission brilliantly. A few minor flaws are no big deal. Compared to those riddlers over at the intelligence team, I'm much more normal. Enough said, I'm leaving soon.]

[Novelist: Okay, I understand the situation.]

At this time, Conan saw Gin, Vodka and the mercenary and had already placed the chewing gum with the bug near their seats. Of course, in the meantime, he also experienced the socially unfortunate scene of being discovered by Xiaolan and questioned by the three little ones.

Just as Conan was about to return to his seat, he happened to meet the three people. Conan recognized two of them as the duo who had poisoned him at the amusement park, and the other man was a new face, not tall, wearing a black hoodie with a hood on his head, a black bandage on his arm, and a look that made it clear that he was not to be messed with.

[Mercenary: I saw him and met him face to face.]

[Novelist: He should have already placed the bug next to you by now, so just be careful what you say.]

[Mercenary: Understood.]

At this time, the three mercenaries had already returned to their seats and sat down.

Vodka: "What a pleasant transaction, Brother Gin."

Gin: "Too loud, Vodka. And you, Negroni, you just took too much food from the food truck. We have other things to do later."

Mercenary: "I get hungry easily, and I can't complete the mission well when I'm hungry."

Vodka: "I don't know how you can fit so much food in your small body."

Gin: "Okay, the bomb has been delivered to that person, and the explosion time has been set to 3:10. As soon as the time comes, that guy will press the button without knowing it, and turn himself and this Shinkansen into ashes."

Hearing that there was a bomb, Conan was terrified and shouted out loud, attracting the attention of several people. Fortunately, the three little ones laughed it off and successfully fooled the crowd.

When the three mercenaries were about to get off the car, Conan desperately chased after them and tried to stop them, but he saw the mercenaries' cold eyes looking at him.

The mercenary said to Conan in a hoarse voice: "Shut up, kid."

This sentence scared Conan so much that he stood at attention, but then he was pulled away by Xiaolan who came rushing over.

After learning of the bomb's existence, Conan first sought help from the flight attendants, but unfortunately, no one believed him. He then teamed up with the other three to search for the owner of the black suitcase, but after several attempts, they were met with frustration. With time running out, Conan considered revealing his identity to expose the bomb's existence.

"Conan, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so nervous?" The little girl sitting next to him spoke.

Conan: By the way, Alice, Alice should believe me, so she will tell Uncle Orpheus the news, so that someone will know about the existence of the bomb!

Conan: "Alice, listen to me, there is a black suitcase with a bomb on the train. It will explode soon. Everyone on the train will be in danger. Go and tell Uncle Orpheus the news!"

Little girl: "Well, Conan is not the kind of person who would joke about such things. Then I will go find my dad now." After that, the little girl got up and left.

With time running out, Conan gets a clue from the three little ones and learns that the bomb is in the woman's possession, and that dialing a cell phone number is the detonator. Finally, Conan kicks the suitcase off the train at the last second, uttering the iconic line, "I'm Edogawa Conan, a detective."

However, just as Conan was about to return to his seat, the novelist and the little girl stood in front of him.

Novelist: "Nice to meet you again. This is the third time we've met, Detective Kudo Shinichi."
