But Hikari Yuki pretended to be following what they wanted, which was why she could be trusted so easily.
It was really…
"How long will it take?"
"Just a few hours," Haibara Ai replied.
"Then I'll wait outside." Hikari Yuki was full of respect towards Haibara Ai professionalism.
After coming out, Hikari Yuki made up a reason that she made Haibara Ai angry because she was too persistent and will stay here to cook for Ai to make amends.
The children were speechless at Hikari Yuki's behaviour but no one found it strange.
Even Conan was the same.
He even guessed that Haibara Ai did it purposely because she wanted to eat food cooked by Hikari Yuki.
Anyway, the children left while Professor Agasa headed to his own lab.
Hikari Yuki went to the kitchen and silently wondered when did the children trust her so much. She was actually prepared to arrange for more excuses when facing the children, but it was actually unnecessary. She was absolutely sure that Vermouth would be jealous because she could get close to all of these children.
Especially Ran and Conan.
She thought about their performance today and guessed that Conan will be busy.
Considering it's just fake bombs, there was no need for Haibara Ai to participate. She can just stay here for today.
She'll not participate more either. There was truly no need to do such a thing.
…
No. 4, Megumi Aiko, went to work with dark circles under her eyes.
She felt very tired right now.
Yesterday's event was big enough and thinking that they will have to work again today made her extremely depressed.
Matsuda Jinpei was also complaining a lot, saying that the bomber was crazy and so on.
Unfortunately, Teiji Moriya is still alive.
And it was estimated that he would not be put to death when one considered how rare the death penalty in Japan is.
She was still drinking her coffee as she walked inside when she heard the beep from the fax.
Her body stiffened.
No way, no. 3 is so crazy that he will set up the fax so early in the morning?
"There's a fax…." Inspector Megure's expression was not very good when he saw the content.
[O brave police officer, I want to invite you to watch fireworks together on this special day.
I have set up 10 fireworks in different locations, which will go off at 12 today. Let me give you a clue~
The clock is ticking and the white sheet flutters, signalling the facade of death.
The clock is ringing and a flurry of dust raised high, signalling the lack of time.
I have spread 10 fireworks in these locations. Can you find them before the time runs out?
Signed: Three Rote]
"Three Rote? Who the hell is this?" Megumi Aiko looked at the signed name speechlessly.
"He's an internationally wanted criminal." Inspector Megure's expression was not very good. "It's said that he's a black household, so no one even knows his name and only his wanted poster still exists. From what I know, he's a criminal who loves to make trouble. He was involved in more than 7 murder cases and 2 bombing cases. He was last active in the US."
When did he come to Japan?
Hearing this, their expression turned serious.
"Megumi, call Matsuda for help to defuse the bombs. We first need to solve the code…"
"Inspector Megure, there's a call from Teitan High School. A bomb was found underneath a student's chair and they requested immediate help. The student was terrified and didn't dare to move!"
"Let's go!"
…
No. 2, Kayama Ichiro's expression was distorted. He entered the class normally and sat down as the class started.
Nothing seemed wrong until he felt that something was odd. He immediately used his ability on his own table and saw no. 3 came and after looking at the name on the table, he came under his chair.
Kayama Ichiro's expression turned stiff.
Even though he had some capabilities, his fighting skills were almost 0!
Besides, who would like to go and train hard when it's so easy to hire a bodyguard with money?
Anyway, Kayama Ichiro refused to train hard.
Now, there's a firework underneath his chair.
He took a deep breath and pushed his pencil down. As he bent down, he checked the bomb and his expression turned grim.
Damn it!
No. 1 is really a professional and this bomb looked so difficult to solve.
At least, Kayama Ichiro has no such capability.
Not to mention, this damn bomb was planted right underneath him. This meant he couldn't move away from this chair and had to wait patiently for the police officer to arrive.
There are only 2 hours left from the timer…
His face looked pale and he suddenly raised his hand.
"Yes, Kayama?"
"Teacher, can you please call the police? There's a bomb underneath my seat and the time is ticking?" Kayama Ichiro looked like he was about to cry.
Sonoko and Ran nearby were stunned.
The class was in uproar and everyone quickly checked under their chairs. Only after knowing that there's no bomb would they calm down.
But….
There's also a bomb under Ran's chair.
Kayama Ichiro: "..." No. 3, you're a dog.
"What should I do?" Mouri Ran has just been frightened by a bomb yesterday and now there's another one under her. This made her extremely nervous.
"How about if you call your boyfriend while I call the police?"
…
So, Conan, who received a call and saw that it was Shinichi's phone, was shocked after hearing there's a bomb in Teitan High School.
It was also because of this that he directly left the school and ran to Teitan High School.
When he got there, Matsuda Jinpei was already crouching down in front of the chair and was busy looking at the bomb.
All students have checked their chairs and there were only 2 bombs found, which are under Kayama Ichiro and Mouri Ran.
"Have you heard of Three Rote before? Since the bombs are only placed on your chairs, you might have seen him before," Inspector Shiratori was the one here with Megumi Aiko.
"I don't know who it is." Mouri Ran looked at loss.
Kayama Ichiro also shook his head.
Who's this Three Rote? He only knows no. 3.
He could guess that it should be his codename or nickname or even real name, but he would never admit it. After all, Kayama Ichiro had never met with no. 3 directly.
Oh except from before when he met the other party in that ruined factory.
But at that time, no. 3 hasn't changed his ID yet.
"Don't move, kid."
"Yes, officer."
"How is it, Jinpei? Can you solve it?" Megumi Aiko asked nervously.
"Who are you kidding? I can solve this in three minutes." Matsuda Jinpei was very confident.
And sure enough, he quickly solved the bomb and put away his tools.
"It's a bit too easy in fact."
Megumi Aiko: "..." Don't say that, no. 1 will want to cry if he knows.
Kayama Ichiro: "..." No wonder no. 1 said that the bombs were too easy to solve. Matsuda Jinpei is also a bug!
