“！！！” Everyone looked at the burning car in amazement.

“。。。” Qian Yu immediately glanced at the street on the same side - there was no one within 50 meters. However, there are quite a few people on the opposite street who are looking this way.

[The only thing that can be blasted with a bomb in this neighborhood is the car that Bainiao was riding in just now, and the other facilities are either floor tiles and things that do not have bomb conditions or things that can't be blown up at all, such as buildings.] So if there is a second attack in the future, you can basically only choose long-range thermal weapons. If there is no one within 50 meters, if the attacker still wants to shoot them, they must aim the gun at eye height to be sure of hitting them. In other words, the attacker must not be attacked by a hidden space that no one else can see in order to escape. That is, in the buildings on both sides. 】

Chiba immediately grabbed Gray Yuan's hand. "Take refuge first."

A place to evacuate nearby... After turning around, Qian Yu glanced at the nature of several shops nearby.

The entrance is set in a one-story corridor, and only one wall of the bookstore can be seen from the outside; a trinket shop with glass doors and windows and a pile of metal cabinets; A fast food restaurant with a lot of tables and chairs.

"Doctor," Chiba realized that there were others who also needed to take refuge, and hurriedly greeted Dr. Asasa. "Take everyone to the bookstore and hide for a while! It wouldn't be good if it was affected by the next attack! ”

Since Officer Shiratori was attacked while he was on his way to start the car, it means that the attacker must have been able to see Officer Shiratori - in other words, the attacker could not have been in the bookstore where he couldn't see the outside at all.

Then hiding in a bookstore will definitely not encounter an attacker, which means that it is the safest option.

"It's safe," Bypassing the crowd of people who were watching the exploding car from the entrance of the building where the bookstore was located, Chiba pulled Gray Yuan Ai and hid in the bookstore. "Then wait here for a while, and then wait until everything is safe."

"Hmm." Gray Yuan glanced at his holding hand and nodded.

“。。。” Qian Yu only noticed that he seemed to be holding Gray Yuan, so he let go of his hand slightly, and then leaned against the side of the bookcase very relaxedly.

Then he suddenly remembered something.

If it were me under normal circumstances, I would never have stayed here - even if it became smaller - no matter how cautious I was, I would choose a fast food restaurant.

A traceless umbrella can effectively protect him from any shooting, and sitting in a restaurant can also allow him to calmly eat melons and watch a play - it will be fine anyway.

Just then, Motota, Mitsuhiko, Chiha, and Dr. Asasa walked in.

Conan didn't come over, did he go to the scene of the explosion?

If it was in the days before I met the gray plain.,I'm afraid I'll come to the scene like Conan to check the situation at this time.。。。

"Huh..." Supporting his forehead with the base of his palm, Chiba let out a self-deprecating chuckle.

。。。 An hour later, the Metropolitan Police Department.

"We were actually invited... Walking into the reception room of the Metropolitan Police Department with Conan and Gray Plains, Qian Yu looked at Officer Twilight who was sitting precariously and raised his eyebrows. "Is something wrong?"

"Someone specifically recommended the three of you to come this time," Officer Twilight said, standing up and handing the three stacks of paper to the three of them. "At the top is a fax letter from the attacker, while below is a copy of the past. Let's take a look and see if you can think of anything, if you have any needs in terms of information, I have prepared an English dictionary and an encyclopedia dictionary for you to use at any time. ”

"What about the others?" Ash Plain Mourning raises a question. "When I passed the office just now, I felt that the number of people was not right."

"We're out and we're going to do a dragnet search all over Tokyo," said Officer Twilight, who walked to the door instead of sitting back in his seat. "I'm going to work on the paperwork first, and if you find anything, look for me in my office outside. Also, if any of you want to leave, just talk to me, after all ... ”

Officer Twilight opened the door. "Such a heavy responsibility should not be left to you children."

The sound of the door closing was negligible after the first hit against the wall, but it made all three of them sigh.

"And said we shouldn't be burdened... Chiba smiled wryly and slapped the paper on the table and lay down in the chair. "Who dares not to bear it...

"yes... Gray Plains sighed. "Even if it's just that powerful bomb, if it's placed properly, it's easy to take out a three-digit person."

"So we have no other way," Conan looked at the two of them. "Cheer up and see if you can do something."

"I'm a member of the major leagues who can play hard balls, come on, let's start the extended battle. The race signal will start at noon tomorrow and end at 3pm. Chiba read this passage with some fluency—there were a lot of things in it that looked like proper nouns, so he had a hard time translating English to Japanese. Even if you have good quality brakes, it doesn't make sense, and in the end I'm going to reverse it. ”

"That," Conan said. "Stopper means main pitcher."

"What's that?" Qian Yu asked. "What field of stuff?"

"Baseball, the pitcher who throws the ball." Conan explained. "An ERA... Or a pitcher with a self-blame rate of less than 3 is considered a fine stopper."

“ERA？” Gray Yuan was stunned. "How do you spell ERA?"

“E、R、A。” Conan replied.

“XT？” Gray Plains muttered. "Hatchback?"

"What do you mean?"

"Generally speaking, this kind of code will be manipulated in terms of being able to materialize, because the word itself can carry a meaning other than the original meaning," Gray Hara Wai turned his paper to Conan and Chiba. "And if we consider that the prisoners used English, we need to consider English in addition to the additional meanings of these words in Japanese. The Extra contains the three letters ERA, which is XT after removing the letters ERA. If XT doesn't work, you can consider other options, such as ERA—"

"Just think about XT," Conan shook his head. "It's useless to have efficient pitchers, in other words, ERA doesn't make sense, so it's right to convert Extra to XT."

"Also, considering the contents of that letter from three years ago," Qian Yu flipped through the previous materials. "The structure of his writing is like this... The first is to call himself a Knights of the Round Table, pointing out one of the conditions for the location of the first crime (Round Table) and one of the conditions for the type of location of the second crime (Knights of the Round Table); Then there is the time (fourteen o'clock), and finally the second condition of the type of place of the crime (the first level of the comrade-in-arms) and the second condition of the place of the first crime (No. 72). ”

"In other words, XT is the location of one of the crimes... Wen! Conan was halfway through his speech, and it suddenly dawned on him. After the final reversal of XT, T will flip and XT will become a horizontal 'text'! This is the same type of 'ten' symbol as it was three years ago! ”
