Model worker and his little darling

After hearing the report on television, they all fell silent.

After a long pause, Pingqing spoke calmly: "Inspector Megure, I think the culprit will continue to commit crimes, and will likely continue to target Teiji Moriya's buildings."

"Brother Mori, I'd like to ask you to come with me to the Japanese gunpowder depot to see if we can find any clues about the criminals." Then, Inspector Megure thought that Hirakiyo's observation skills were also quite good, so he let Hirakiyo go along as well.

After carefully inspecting the security door, Uncle Mori said to Inspector Megure with a serious expression, "Officer, there are absolutely no signs of forced entry. I think the prisoner must have entered the password directly."

Once inside, Hirakiyo discovered some subtle clues, and Inspector Megure immediately ordered his men to continue the investigation.

Not long after, Inspector Megure led them away.

Uncle Mori was not in a good mood after seeing such a terrible incident, so he took Heikichi to an izakaya.

Hirakiyo secretly sent Gin the layout of the Japanese gunpowder depot, and also told Gin about Moriya Teiji's plan to blow up the Beika City Hall.

……

"Shinichi Kudo? I'm the one who stole the explosives from the Japanese gunpowder depot. There's something interesting in Tsugawa Green Park. If we don't go soon, those kids will die."

Hearing the clearly altered voice from the other party, Conan yelled at the professor, "Professor, contact Inspector Megure immediately! I need to get to the Green Park right now!" With that, Conan grabbed his skateboard and dashed off.

He started his skateboard and sped off, arriving at the park. Sure enough, there he was—his old friends, the Junior Detective Team—happily playing with bombs. After some questioning, he learned that a stranger had given them a plane, a bomber, no less.

Conan immediately noticed the bomb strapped to the bottom of the plane.

"Give me the remote control right now, there's a bomb on the plane."

Upon hearing Conan's words, the Junior Detective League panicked, causing their remote-controlled airplane to instantly lose control and transform into a tracking missile targeting the detectives.

Fortunately, Conan kicked the bomb into fireworks with a single kick.

Just then, the prisoner who had witnessed everything called again.

"Why didn't Shinichi Kudo come? Does he mean that a brat like you is enough to be my opponent?"

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately realized that the culprit was watching everything from somewhere.

"Listen up, kid. Around 1:00 PM, another bomb will explode in the square in front of Beika Station."

Using his child identity, Conan got the culprit to reveal a clue under the tree. After searching for a while, Conan noticed an unclaimed pet carrier under the tree.

An elderly woman saw that there was a cat inside and left with the pet carrier.

Seeing this, Conan quickly chased after him, but unfortunately, although his skateboard could go up and down, it broke after just one bump.

So they robbed a little boy's bicycle and continued the chase, finally managing to stop the old lady's taxi, which indeed contained a bomb.

Suddenly, the bomb's countdown stopped. Conan quickly grabbed the bomb and left, but the bomb seemed to have a mind of its own, and the timer started running again soon after.

Conan had no choice but to throw the car with the bomb towards the river, but unfortunately, he was injured by the impact of the bomb and had to be hospitalized.

When they received the news that Conan was hospitalized, Hirakiyo and Uncle Mori rushed to the hospital.

Ping Qing looked at Conan's pale face with great curiosity. He'd always seen Conan in the show flying and diving without a scratch, but he never expected him to get injured.

A short while later, Professor Agasa arrived with Ai Haibara.

Looking at the brown-haired girl behind Professor Agasa, Hirai was speechless. He never expected to meet Sherry in such a situation.

Ai Haibara froze the moment she saw Hirai, feeling a sense of danger from him.

Seeing Ai Haibara's terrified expression, Hirai gritted his teeth. Damn, this alcohol detector is too accurate. It's much better than Gin's nose.

"Doctor, is this little girl your child?"

"Oh, she's my relative's child. I've been taking care of her lately. Her name is Ai Haibara."

Heiji squatted down and greeted her gently, "Hello, my name is Ito Heiji. You can call me Heiji-nii like Conan and Ayumi do."

Ai Haibara said nothing and hid behind the Doctor.

Pingqing instantly put on a hurt expression and said aggrievedly, "It seems she doesn't like me. I thought I was popular with children."

Professor Agasa scratched his head sheepishly. "I'm sorry, she's very timid and doesn't talk much."

At this moment, Ayumi walked over and whispered to Ai Haibara, "Haibara-kun, Hirai-nii is such a nice guy. He goes on adventures with us, takes us fishing, and even bought gifts for each of us. Conan said that Hirai-nii even rescued him from a fire."

Upon hearing this, Pingqing instantly became happy, patted Ayumi's head, and thought, "She's such a little angel, the gift was well worth it."

Mitsuhiko and Genta also secretly told Haibara about Taira no Kiyoshi taking them out to play.

After listening to the three people, Ai Haibara's fear of Hirai lessened a bit. The people in the organization were cold-blooded animals and would never be so kind to a child.

Although Pingqing gave her a dangerous feeling, she felt differently from the people in the organization.

"Cough cough cough..."

Conan woke up, and Hirai immediately looked over with a worried expression.

"You don't need to worry too much. There are no obvious abnormalities in the child's brain waves. I think he can be discharged tomorrow."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor's words.

Conan explained the whole story to Inspector Megure, saying that the bomb seemed to be aimed at Shinichi's older brother.

Officer Shiratori also came to report the news to the police. After testing, it was confirmed that the two bombs were the stolen ammonium nitrate bombs.

However, through their investigation, they discovered that the criminals in the cases solved by Shinichi Kudo were still in prison and facing legal punishment.

The detective team drew a sketch of the criminal who gave them the plane. Hirai glanced at it and was shocked. Wasn't Moriya Teiji an obsessive-compulsive? How could he dress himself up like this?

Suddenly, Professor Agasa asked a question: "Inspector Megure, of all the cases Shinichi has solved in the past, which one has received the most attention from the public?"

Inspector Megure stroked his chin and pondered for a while.

"I remember it was the case of the mayor of Nishitama City who hit and killed a 25-year-old citizen but had his son take the blame. After Shinichi Kudo solved the case, the mayor resigned in disgrace, and his plan for a new town in Nishitama City was shelved."

So Shiratori said he would investigate the former mayor's son.

Seeing that Inspector Megure was trying in the wrong direction, Hirai wanted to say something, but thinking of Ai Haibara, he decided to remain a quiet and handsome man.

At this moment, Ayumi thought of another clue: the prisoner had a pleasant fragrance on him.

As it was getting late, Ayumi and her two friends decided to go home and find their mothers.

Ping Qing's eyes flashed. He remembered that the three little ones were trapped on the loop line, and he also thought about how the three little ones had helped him today.

“I’ll take you back. You’ve been in contact with the bomber today, and there might be danger. I’m worried about leaving you three children like this.”

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure nodded, "Thank you for your help, Brother Taira."

And so, Pingqing left the hospital with the three little ones.

Along the way, Pingqing reflected on his performance today. He hadn't made any mistakes. Seeing how gentle, kind, and loving he was, he thought that Ai Haibara probably wouldn't be so afraid of him next time they met.
