Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 58: Classic car

Chapter 58: Jump off the car and set the schedule

 There are still ten seconds before the bomb explodes.

 If nothing is done...everyone here will die in ten seconds.

Conan squatted down anxiously, turned on the switch of the strength-enhancing shoes, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the briefcase, intending to kick it out of the window.

“…” Although Gin said that the bomb would be detonated by “violent vibration”. This may also include "getting kicked" or "hitting the window"... But there is no time now, so I can only take a gamble.

 However, Conan risked his life and kicked out, but the kick was in vain.

—A figure in black passed by the corridor. When passing by the briefcase, she leaned over slightly, picked up the bag and left as if nothing had happened.

That series of movements was so natural, so elegant, and so self-righteous that the crowd of onlookers subconsciously moved out of the way for her.

After staying for two seconds, the flight attendant felt something was wrong.

They didn’t know that the briefcase would really explode, so they quickly chased Anonymous, the passing thief: “Wait! Please put down other people’s bags!”

 …

At this time, Anonymous had already walked to the car door.

Ignoring the few people chasing behind her, she held the bomb in one hand and raised the other hand, "clicking" to activate the emergency stopcock device.

 Then pull the door open firmly.

The train was running at high speed, and strong winds rushed in, blowing the puppet's black dress flying in all directions.

 Fortunately, Miyano Akemi, as a criminal who robbed a bank, loves beauty but also does not forget to consider practicality. Her skirt has some added designs. No matter how it flies, it won't be higher than her knees. It's even crazier than safety pants.

 …

Jiang Xia also remembers the setting that "the bomb will explode 10 seconds after dialing the number."

He drove the puppet, mentally calculating the countdown to the explosion. He turned back from the door and looked at the gazes from the entire carriage. He was very satisfied with the situation.

-In this way, if any insider is caught in the future to ask about today's situation, what they will remember will only be "the anonymous lady stole the bomb and destroyed the organization's plan" instead of "some innocent psychic who was passing by" They are tearing down the old club."

 …

 It is completely different from Jiang Xia's good mood.

 In the crowd, the short-haired woman who lost her briefcase was very anxious.

—In her opinion, the bag contained precious information that she had spent a huge sum of 400 million yen to buy.

She looked at Anonymous who was standing by the car door, as if he might fall down at any time, and shouted glumly: "Give me your bag, we can discuss the rest. If you have any requests, you can just say it!"

Conan also reminded anxiously: "Throw away the bag quickly! The bomb is about to explode!"

The moment he finished speaking, the car door turned the corner.

Jiang Xia let go of the hand holding the car door.

He adjusted the actual weight of the puppet, and secretly adjusted its direction with the hem of his skirt, making the puppet fly out of the bridge erratically and gracefully like a kite, and fall downwards. - "Jump something with a bomb", just like "Can't look back at the explosion", is a romantic achievement that must be obtained if there is a chance.

And in this way, the puppet can perfectly avoid subsequent inquiries and transcripts, saving a lot of trouble.

The people in the car watched blankly as the anonymous man fell out of sight.

Immediately afterwards, a large ball of fire exploded from under the bridge.

 …

 …

A few minutes later.

 Due to a sudden explosion, the Shinkansen stopped running urgently.

Amidst the commotion, Jiang Xia stopped pretending to be asleep and opened his eyes in his seat.

Then he met two apologetic glances.

 Jiang Xia: “…?”

Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan looked at each other for a moment and sighed in frustration—they originally came to Jiang Xia to relax. Unexpectedly, before we even got there, we encountered this kind of incident again.

Even though they were not present at the time, they heard that a man jumped out of the car with a bomb and no protection.

 The police were unable to find the body because there was a river just below the crash site, and the hero may have been washed away by the flowing water.

 Mao Lilan was even more frustrated.

—There were not many passengers who witnessed the scene of jumping off the train. This incident was quickly spread in the car with added embarrassment, accompanied by all kinds of regretful laments.

Therefore, not long after the incident occurred, Mao Lilan heard that the deceased was a man in a black dress and a sunhat of the same color, caring for the world, covered with holy light, looking like the most perfect marble sculpture when not smiling, and like an angel when smiling. A very kind woman who came into the world.

Although the last few items are a bit abstract...but when she mentioned the black skirt and the same-color sunhat, Mao Lilan immediately thought of the beautiful sister who helped her stop Conan.

Such a good person has disappeared like this... When Mao Lilan thought of this, she felt a little sad and picked up a handkerchief to cover her face.

Other people in the car were also silently remembering the stranger who saved them.

Although the question "Why didn't you just throw the bomb down and leave it in the car" occasionally came up, but after thinking about it for a moment, it felt like a blasphemy to the victims, so no one mentioned it in the end. People paid close attention to mourning.

 …

Police arrived quickly and the short-haired woman was taken away for investigation.

Before leaving, she tearfully asked the police to continue to fish people out of the river, even if there was only a corpse, so that people could rest in peace. She also said that if the person who jumped out of the car had no family, she could pay for the burial.
