Chapter 443: The Bride of Halloween (Part 5)
In the wedding venue chosen by Christina, the three little ones were admiring the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, while the others were sitting on the sofa chatting.
Xiaolan also specifically mentioned that Kogoro Mouri's condition has improved and he has been transferred to another hospital.
"However, the nurses said that Dad seemed to be resistant to the anesthesia. The dosage was calculated, but the effect lasted shorter than expected."
The little girl quietly approached Conan: "Could it be that you, Conan, have been pricking Uncle Maori with the anesthetic needle, so he has developed resistance."
Conan could only smile helplessly: "Hahaha, how is that possible."
Nakamura Tsutomu also introduced the rooftop helipad of the Shibuya Hikari building: "After the wedding, we plan to take a helicopter tour over Tokyo."
"That's really romantic." The knight seemed very interested in this part.
Just as they were happily discussing, Christina suddenly received a call. She was told that her friend had something that needed to be given to her no matter what, and that the person was in Shibuya, so she should go directly to him.
"What should we do? We still have to discuss the details of the wedding with the emcee." Nakamura Tsutomu felt a little embarrassed.
"Then leave it to us!" Mitsuhiko pulled Genta and Ayumi and started posing. "Let us, the Junior Detectives, come and help!"
Yuan Tai also vowed: "We are the strongest first graders in elementary school!"
Conan's eyes flashed when he heard this: "When did you become the strongest?"
Xiaolan was a little worried: "Although I really want to go with you, I have to go back to the hospital later. Granny Valentina and Mr. Richard, could you please look after the children?"
"Of course no problem." The knight stood up and saluted.
"Mr. Richard really behaves like a knight even outside the stage." Xiaolan smiled.
Christina was a little puzzled. "I heard that Mr. Richard is a stage actor, and Mr. Florian is a fire investigator. Why do you two people with completely different careers stay together?"
The knight explained, "Although Florian is an excellent fire investigator, his frequent visits to fire scenes have damaged his hearing. You may have noticed that he speaks very loudly and often shouts."
"A long time ago, he was diagnosed with a condition called 'temporary threshold shift' by a doctor. Just like an appliance needs to warm up after being turned on, he needs to speak loudly for a while before his hearing returns to normal. To prevent him from having any accidents due to this condition, I often stay with him."
"So that's how it is. The job of a fire investigator is really not easy." Xiaolan sighed.
Conan nodded inwardly. He'd seen the fire investigator rub his ears frequently, and his voice would return to normal after a loud start, only to return to the same high pitch the next time they met. He'd often wondered if the fire investigator had some sort of aftereffect, but now he was certain.
After a while, Christina handed a simple map to Guangyan: "Then I'll leave it to you. Here is the map."
"No problem, just leave it to us." Mitsuhiko assured, patting his chest.
The group came to the location marked on Christina's map, but this place didn't look like a place where friends would come to deliver things.
"Are you sure it's here? It's so remote here, and these houses seem to have been abandoned for a long time." The little girl was a little confused.
Mitsuhiko looked at the map uncertainly. "The map says it's on the sixth floor of this building. Anyway, let's go up and take a look."
After they went up to the sixth floor, they found it was empty. Apart from some discarded debris, there was only an object covered with a white cloth.
"It says the gift is covered with white cloth, so that should be it," Mitsuhiko said, pointing at the thing.
This scene seemed a little strange, so Conan stepped forward first and said, "Let me take a look."
"I'll go with you." The fire investigator took Conan's hand. "I always feel like something is wrong."
Conan nodded, and then walked to the white cloth with the fire investigator. Conan first lifted a corner of the white cloth to look inside, then nodded to the fire investigator. The fire investigator received the signal and pulled off the white cloth, revealing the two-color bomb inside.
When Conan saw the device, he immediately realized that this was the bomb that Amuro Toru mentioned, and his eyes widened in horror.
The three little ones were still a little confused: "Is that a gift?"
"No, this is a bomb, run away!" Conan immediately turned around and reminded everyone.
However, the mechanism on the wall was triggered, and the door was fastened by a steel wire, closing rapidly. The knight was quick-witted and pulled out his knight's sword and stuck it in the crack of the door, but the strength of the steel wire was too great, and the knight could not hold on for long and reluctantly let go.
"Damn it! Next time, I'll have Luca get me a more high-tech sword." The knight slammed the door in exasperation. "I saw it coming."
[Prisoner: The door was already closing before you started predicting it, so your prediction would definitely be ineffective.]
[Painter: If this were any other time, you'd be ripped off and lose money.]
"It's okay, we still have Granny Valentina." The little girl pushed the grocer out. "Granny is the 'door-opening master.'"
[Knight: What a master of opening doors.]
[Priest: Our powers are all sewn together.]
[Noisy: Then can I leave the small dark room now?]
[Lame Sheep: I don’t think so.]
[Shadow of Time and Space: It's finally my turn to be released from prison.]
[Cowboy: Oh no, the Roaring Man is back!]
[Prisoner: Book of Purity, activated!]
[Forward: If you keep running away without turning back to get shocked, I won't come to save you!]
[Prisoner: I didn't get hit by the sword because I have good skills. If I had gotten hit by the sword, I would have been shocked and moved on to the next one.]
[Mechanic: Look at what you have accomplished!]
The grocer slowly absorbed a portion of the wall, and an archway appeared on the previously locked door. This surprised Conan, who was originally watching the bomb countdown.
"Is there such a power?"
The three children saw the door was opened directly and hurriedly called Conan: "Conan, come here quickly, and Brother Florian, it's dangerous inside!"
The fire investigator glanced back at the timer, which had less than two minutes left, and said to Conan, "Don't worry, I'll take a sample first. You can go out first. I've anticipated this kind of situation. It'll be fine."
Conan was a little confused: "But..."
"Don't worry, remember to meet me downstairs later, you and the children go!"
Conan gritted his teeth, quickly took a photo of the bomb, and ran out through the door opened by the grocer, and went downstairs with everyone.
The fire investigator, who was left alone on the sixth floor, took a deep breath and said, "Phew, luckily my backpack has enough independent space."
Conan ran downstairs and anxiously looked at his watch, calculating the time for the bomb to explode: "You must come out safely, Mr. Florian!"
Finally, with less than ten seconds left before the explosion, Conan saw the fire investigator sticking his head out of the window. The fire investigator jumped directly from the window, adjusted his position in mid-air, released his airbag, and then landed safely on it and was bounced up.
