Chapter 59 The Unexpected Crisis

To get from Nido Hospital to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, even if there is no traffic jam, it means you have to drive for two and a half hours across Japan's largest city, Tokyo.Although the process is a bit grueling, it is also a rare opportunity for passengers to feast their eyes.The majestic Imperial Palace, the towering Tokyo Tower, the bustling Shinjuku, the fashionable Shibuya, the combination of tradition and modernity constitute the unique charm of this city.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Baima Tan, who has not enjoyed the beauty of the city up close for a long time after studying in the UK.But what is regrettable is that although he has been half leaning on the car window for an hour, his eyes have always been slightly closed, and the tiredness all over his body is obvious and self-evident.This made the three policemen in the car, including Officer Zhongsen, gradually stop talking, so as not to disturb the rest of the 'severely injured'.

Due to the angle of observation, the police detectives who are full of worry and guilt may never notice that the left eye of the young man who is already asleep in their eyes is slightly open from the beginning to the end, and the eyelashes are constantly twitching. Tremble slightly.And they would never have thought that the reason why this "seriously injured Kuroba Kaito" had been on a "lunch break" shortly after getting into the car was actually to hide his sharp gaze, and he had been shooting at him since an hour ago. The black car that followed like a ghost outside the window.

He turned his body sideways, seemingly to change to a more comfortable sleeping position, but he used this movement as a cover, slightly opened his right eye, and quickly glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"It's been one hour and two minutes. After following for so long, I still haven't taken any action. I'm so patient..." Under the tired appearance, there is a precision like a high-end machine Thinking 'are they going to play psychological tactics with me, or do they have some special plan of action.If it's the second answer, then how exactly are they going to hijack me, who pretends to be Kaito? '

Various possible reasonings are filtered one by one in the detective's brain

'As before, using Kidd in the car as a bait to incite the crowd to act excessively?Or use smoke bombs, food poisoning, traffic jams caused by car accidents, etc. to create chaos, and then take the opportunity to stop the car and act in chaos?Or did he simply confront the few policemen in the car and intercept him head-on, no, maybe he pretended to be Kidd's assistant and pretended to rescue him, so as to avoid future police investigations? '

"咚咚咚..." The sharp and crisp knocking sound was particularly abrupt in the silence.

White Horse Tan couldn't help but frowned slightly, but still closed his eyes tightly, not daring to make any excessive movements, but secretly cursed in his heart, 'What's going on?Watson, what's the matter?Didn't you take care of it, so it's not allowed to appear today? '

"咚咚咚..." The sharp percussion sound became more piercing as the speed increased.

"Ouch...what's that sound?" A lazy voice sounded, with a touch of displeasure at being disturbed from a sweet dream, the young policeman rubbed his eyes, "Hey...huh? This is What?"

"That... seems to be an eagle? Why is there an eagle outside?"

"Dong dong dong..." As if persevering, the non-stop knocking sound kept hitting the glass, shaking the white horse leaning against the window, and his ears were numb.

'Wait a minute....No!...Watson wouldn't have had the chance to do it...couldn't he? '

The thought that suddenly flashed through his mind made Baima Tan realize the strangeness of the matter, opened his eyes suddenly, straightened up, and opened the car window with both hands without the slightest hesitation.

"Ah, Kaito, are you awake?"

He didn't have the time to answer and explain Officer Nakamori's question, and all his attention was focused on the figure of his pet and assistant, an eagle named Watson, who rushed into the car from the window.

Without the slightest hesitation, the black and petite figure quickly got under the rear seat of the ambulance under the watchful eyes of the owner and the other three policemen.

"How did it get here? Hurry up and drive it out!" An unidentified policeman bent down, ready to reach out to drive away the eagle under the seat

"Hush! Don't make a sound!" While making a silent gesture, he began to lower his body to investigate, and the moment his ear was close to the seat, there was a slight but regular sound, which immediately filled the eardrum.

"Tick, tick, tick!"

'what happened?Could it be! 'The thought that flashed through my mind made the hairs all over my body stand on end in an instant. 'how can that be possible?It's impossible for the organization in black to put Kaito to death just like that? ! '

My mind was in a mess, and before I could sort out my thoughts, Watson's figure appeared in the field of vision again.The black figure who just dragged out a heavy box with the corner of his mouth has long lost his usual agility and chicness.And along with the box, its true face of Mount Lu is revealed little by little.That suspicious ticking sound became the only piercing existence in this dead silence.

A black square object, the material seems to be plastic, without any markings, only a thin layer of dust, under the sunlight in the afternoon, it reflects light slightly.

"What's the matter? Kaito?" Officer Nakamori showed a look of surprise, because the young man beside him looked normal, but his body began to tremble slightly.

Holding my breath, I carefully opened the black cover, and a set of complex circuits, a small black screen, and a white note immediately appeared in front of my eyes.

"This...this is...couldn't be..." Police officer Nakamori, who has many years of experience in handling cases, instantly realized the seriousness of the situation, and cast his surprised eyes on boy.

"Well, it can't be wrong." If it weren't for the calm and composure honed as a detective, Detective Baima's voice at this time might not be as stable as before, "It's a bomb!"

"What! Bomb!"

The driver slipped his hand, and the tires collided with the ground during driving, making a harsh friction sound, which sparked a series of sparks.The surrounding vehicles were frightened by this sudden scene, and hurriedly dodged.Fortunately, due to the traffic jam, the speed of the car was generally not fast, and no accidents were caused, but it was inevitable to attract a lot of scolding.

"Grandma! Can you drive a car? Don't have eyes! What's wrong with the ambulance, isn't it amazing!"

"How did you drive, you want to hit me to death!"

"Young man, drive carefully, don't you know!"

Complaints from the surrounding drivers came one after another, but none of them reached the ears of the four people in the car, because their chaotic thoughts had been firmly tied to the small black box in front of them.

"How could there be a bomb? Who did this?"

There was a tinge of anger in the crimson eyes, but the tone was still steady, like a calm lake, "Naturally someone who wants to put Kaito to death!"

"The person who wants to put Kaito to death is the one who injured him last time? Eh?...What do you mean by that, aren't you Kaito?"

"I mean the one who put me to death." Detective Baima casually perfunctory, stretched out his right hand, picked up and opened the white note in the box.

On the note, there is a line of text clipped out in various fonts. It is concise and clear, but the content is very scary.

"Advice:...... After the bomb is activated, please keep driving at a speed of 100...or you will be responsible for the consequences!?" Police officer Nakamori read out the words word by word after grabbing the note , couldn't help being furious, "What the hell, it's unreasonable, how dare you play such a prank with the police!"

Beside him was a little policeman in his early 20s, with a pale face and trembling legs. "Then what should we do now? I...I...I don't want to die!"

"Useless guy!" Nakamori reprimanded sharply, "Who said you were going to die, you didn't see it, the monitor is completely black, which means the bomb has not activated at all!"

"Ah?" He breathed a sigh of relief, his face returned to normal, "Oh! I was scared to death! You should have said it earlier!"

"You don't have eyes!" Nakamori was so angry that he wanted to throw this useless policeman out of the window, turned his head and decided to ignore this coward in the police circle, and asked in a low voice, "Quick fight, How do you deal with it, I think how about finding a place where no one is around and throwing it out the window?"

Since they set up this situation, I'm afraid it can't be solved so easily...... Baima Tan, who was thinking so much in his heart, nodded his approval.

Because he knows that time, in such a critical moment, can be life-saving or fatal.At this moment, explaining the ins and outs of the incident to the three police officers present is almost like playing a game of firecrackers.

What's more, there is a lack of meticulous and systematic deconstruction and argumentation, and no inspiration to break through the chaos. Under such circumstances, it is not only useless to discuss unformed reasoning with people who don't know the inside story, but will make yourself more and more confused in the quagmire of various information. The deeper the trap, the harder it is to extricate myself.The calmness of thinking alone is the only hope of finding an exit in such a fog.

"Go in a detour, drive the car to a road with less traffic, and then detour to a place with a lake. Remember to ensure that the speed of the car reaches 100 kilometers per hour." After a long silence, Baima Tan suddenly spoke

"Why? I think that note is just a threat!"

"Maybe, maybe not, look here," following the other party's gaze, Officer Nakamori noticed that a small rectangular transparent object was connected with complicated wiring, just about to ask, "Kaito" has Answered "It's a speedometer, maybe it's a decoration, but if it's not, you're in big trouble."

At the age of 17, it is still immature for ordinary people.But the boy in front of him, even in the face of the sudden fatal threat, did not show a trace of panic, but chose to deal with it calmly from the very beginning, and analyzed all possible changes with an accurate and calm mind... Nakamori smiled slightly at Dou's pensive side face, his eyes showing admiration: That's right, this is the man I have always regarded as my opponent

Head hurts, this is Baima's most real reaction now.It was obvious that things had taken place in such a dramatic way, beyond all expectations, without any reasonable explanation.This means that the plan designed by myself and Conan Hattori has neglected key elements from the very beginning... But where is the negligence?

Subconsciously looked at the perspective mirror in front of his eyes.In Tokyo, there is an endless stream of cars of various models on the wide streets, among which there are a surprising number of eye-catching famous cars.But in Baima Tan's field of vision, there were only two vehicles.One black and one white, one left and one right, like a shadow.

Sometimes, the duel between masters is not about strength, but resourcefulness and patience.The FBI in the United States and the mysterious organization in Japan, they are relative existences in the balance, they are natural and destined rivals.The duel between them also obeys the same law.

Just when the white horse explored the battle between heaven and man, the cruelty and fickleness of reality came quietly again in this sunny afternoon.

No one would have imagined that behind the rectangular speedometer, there is actually a hidden bug, which is transmitting everything in the car to the ears of the owner of the black car driving side by side.

"They seem to have figured it out," GIN exhaled a puff of smoke, and the beating sparks were faintly visible in his eyes. "It seems that the person inside has a nice pet."

"However, even if we find out now, it's too late. I'm right, brother!"

GIN didn't reply, black sunglasses covered his expression, only a cruel smile burst from the corner of his mouth, and the finger that was always in the right pocket pressed the button calmly.

"Look! There's something on that screen!"

"1:20........2:19, no, is the countdown started?"

Hearing the noise coming from the earphones as he wished, GIN exhaled a puff of smoke slowly and gracefully, leaned back, and changed into a more comfortable posture, with a lazy posture, as if he was just an unrelated spectator, admiring A free show.

What do you want to do, Kuroba Kaito, no...someone pretending to be him...

"The ambulance turned around." The burly driver, who remained silent all the way, turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong? Do you want to find a way to contact Baima Tan."

"Wait a little longer..." Judy in the passenger seat frowned slightly, hesitating in her heart, but in the end she prevailed calmly "Once contacted with Detective Baima, his impersonation of Kaito is likely to be exposed ...By the way, is there any movement at the hospital?"

"Heiji Hattori sent a message, everything is safe"

"That's fine, as long as nothing happens there. After all, Kaito is the organization's goal." After a little relief, Judy gave the order, "Wait and see what happens, and follow them."

Caution is an essential quality of being a good detective.It's just that if Judy knew that the situation at this time had already exceeded all her expectations, would she still make the same choice?
