Chapter 184 How did you get involved in the incident again!
When the explosion sounded, passers-by around looked in the direction of the explosion in horror. Many people stopped to talk, some took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and others began to panic and look for a safe place.
Sato and Takagi hurried to the exploded car, and the scene before them made their hearts tighten.
At this moment, Shiratori was lying beside the car, his body was pressed by the car door, unable to move, and his suit had been cut by the shattered glass.
"Shiratori!" Sato squatted down hurriedly, his face full of anxiety.
Conan also ran over and squatted beside Shiratori to carefully check the situation.
He reached out and felt Shiratori's pulse, frowning.
The weak Bai Niao barely opened his eyes and said in a low and intermittent voice: "This place... is too dangerous... You should leave this place quickly..."
Sato stared at Shiratori, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Since you can still speak, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Conan raised Shiratori's right hand, but his expression became even more solemn.
He felt Bai Niao's pulse, then observed his injuries, his tone filled with uneasiness: "No! There's bleeding on the right side of his head, and his left hand and left foot are numb. I'm afraid this is..."
"Acute submental hematoma of cerebral infarction!"
Huiyuan Ai, who was held by Chen Shuo, took over the conversation expressionlessly and said calmly: "If we don't rush to the hospital, it will be very dangerous."
Chen Shuo's eyes were calm as he quickly glanced at the car. He spoke in an unquestionable tone, "The fuel tank in the car hasn't ignited yet. The most urgent thing now is to transport him to a safe place quickly to avoid secondary damage."
After hearing the analysis from several people, Sato and Takagi panicked and took action immediately, carefully lifting Shiratori out from under the car door, trying to avoid causing him secondary harm as much as possible.
In the distance, several patrolmen were rushing over, holding fire extinguishers in their hands, and began to deal with the burning vehicle urgently.
Sato and Takagi quickly lifted Shiratori out of the danger zone, turned around and looked at the car that was still on fire, their eyes filled with fear and anger.
"What on earth is going on?" Takagi said, panting.
Conan stood there, looking at the exploded vehicle with a complicated expression, his fists clenched slightly. His detective spirit had been ignited, and all the clues were rapidly intertwined in his mind. This was definitely not an ordinary accident.
Chen Shuo stood aside, looking around, a look of deep thought flashing in his eyes. He said calmly, "This group of people...are coming for the police."
Conan nodded as well, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Yeah! I think so too..."
He was about to express his analysis when suddenly, Shiratori's weak hand trembled and raised it, handing Sato a crumpled piece of paper.
Sato was stunned for a moment, took the note, unfolded it and took a quick glance at it.
"I'm a major league hitter.
The overtime game is about to begin. The game will officially start at noon tomorrow and end at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Even if you ask someone to stop me, it will be a waste of effort. I will eventually turn defeat into victory.
If you want to stop this game, just come to me.
Let you policemen come on the blood-stained bases, and I will be waiting for you at the steel plate."
After reading this, Sato's pupils shrank sharply, and a flash of shock and anger flashed in her eyes. The familiar tone and the familiar provocation brought her thoughts back to the nightmare three years ago.
"It's him!!! That bastard!!"
Sato's voice was obviously trembling with anger, and her hand involuntarily clenched the note. She was so excited that she almost crumpled the note into a ball.
Seeing this, Gao Mu hurriedly asked: "Officer Sato, who... is this?"
Sato didn't answer, but just lowered his head, his eyes filled with deep hatred and pain.
"That person is here again..." she whispered, her words filled with suppressed sadness and indescribable complex emotions.

Chen Shuo's eyes moved slightly, and he noticed that Bai Niao was looking at him with a weak look.
He calmly put Huiyuan Ai down and whispered, "Take the children away from the scene."
Haibara Ai nodded and quickly retreated to a safe area with the little guys from the Junior Detective League.
Then, Chen Shuo turned around and said to Sato and Takagi, "Leave this to me. You go and evacuate the crowd first to avoid causing chaos."
Sato frowned, but after looking at the still burning vehicle, he nodded and left with Takagi.
Chen Shuo squatted down, approached the white bird, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
Bai Niao gasped for breath and spoke intermittently: "I didn't notice just now...it's you...I want to issue a commission..."
Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "Oh? Interesting, tell me about it."
Shiratori tried to gather up the last bit of his strength and said weakly, "I'm issuing a commission to... the Continental Hotel... to find the mastermind behind this... and then... hand it over to us!"
After saying this, Shiratori's eyes gradually closed and he fell into a coma.
Chen Shuo stood up with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He turned to look at Conan, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Did you hear that? The eldest son of the Shiratori Group, big business."
Conan rubbed his brows, his tone full of helplessness: "Hand it over to the police? Sigh... really..."
Chen Shuo walked forward, ruffled Conan's hair, and said jokingly, "I have a different opinion of this Officer Shiratori. He's not like that pedantic guy Odagiri Toshiro..."
Conan looked up, his eyes showing a hint of surprise: "You really want to take his business?"
Chen Shuo shrugged and said casually, "Why not take business? Mainland hotels accept all offers. You have to learn to be flexible! The line between black and white is not always clear."
After saying that, he walked away, looking relaxed and at ease, while Conan behind him looked at his back, as if thinking about something.

At night, standing in his small attic, Chen Shuo put his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on the police cars flowing on the road.
The flashing red and blue police lights reflected on his face, outlining a faint smile.
"Wow... almost all the police in Tokyo have been dispatched."
There was a hint of teasing in his voice as he sighed to himself.
In the living room downstairs, Suzuki Sonoko sat lazily on the sofa, flipping a task list with the Continental Hotel logo printed on it back and forth in her hands.
She looked up at Huiyuan Ai who was sitting next to her, and her tone was filled with disbelief: "You said that this order was issued by Officer Shiratori? It's really strange that the police nowadays would issue tasks to mainland hotels."
Mao Lilan looked at Huiyuan Ai, her eyes full of worry: "Ai, are you okay?"
Huiyuan Ai shook her head, her voice as calm as usual: "The explosion was not very powerful. Except for Officer Shiratori who was directly in the car, no one else was hurt."
After hearing this, Sonoko raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "What about Conan? He actually submitted the task directly like that? Without any idea at all?"
Upon hearing this, Huiyuan Ai curled her lips into a cold smile: "How could he not have any ideas? He had already secretly gotten into Officer Sato's car. I guess he wanted to compete with the people from the Continental Hotel to see who could find the criminal first."
Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh softly when she heard this: "Really, I thought he had changed his temper..."
Yuanzi laughed and waved his hands: "Hahaha, this is his style. I guess he must have been pent up these past few days!"
At this time, Chen Shuo slowly walked down the attic, leaned casually on the handrail of the stairs, and glanced at the people in the room, with a smile on his lips becoming more obvious.
"Ran, Sonoko, do you have any ideas? Shiratori didn't mention a price, but according to the rules, you can set any conditions you want."
Chen Shuo leaned on the handrail of the stairs and asked with a smile.
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up at the same time, but then they became deflated.
"Oh... forget it..." Sonoko collapsed on the sofa and sighed.
Mao Lilan also smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"What? Not interested?" Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"How can I not be interested? It's not common for Tokyo police and mainland hotels to target the same target at the same time." Sonoko said lazily.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mao Lilan continued: "But... we have a placement test tomorrow, this is also very important..."
She propped her face up with her hands, a helpless expression on her face. "I finally have a mission that doesn't involve killing people. I really want to participate, but exams are a big deal in life."
After hearing this, Chen Shuo shrugged and said nonchalantly, "That's all I can do... Let's go to bed early tonight."
The two sighed in unison and responded in a long tone: "Hi~~~~"
---
The next day at noon, Xiaolan and Sonoko both went to take the placement test.
Chen Shuo and Huihara Ai sat on the sofa, staring at the TV with dull faces.
The scene on the screen was shocking. The Tokyo Tower with black smoke filling it occupied the entire frame. The chaos at the scene and the sirens ringing around it all indicated that a terrorist attack was taking place there at the moment.
However, what really confused Chen Shuo and Huihara Ai was not all this, but the commentary on TV.
"Our reporters have confirmed that the two people trapped on Tokyo Tower are Officer Takagi Wataru of the Metropolitan Police Department and Conan Edogawa, a student at Teitan Elementary School. They are currently working to defuse the bomb. Let us pray for them and condemn the criminals who planted the bomb..."
Haibara Ai stared at the screen, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She murmured to herself, "There shouldn't be another name as niche as Edogawa Conan, right?"
Chen Shuo covered his face with his hands, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his voice was filled with indescribable complex emotions.
"This guy is truly a walking death god! Just a few days after leaving the Continental Hotel, he encountered such a big event and made himself the protagonist!"
At this moment, Haibara Ai's body shook violently, and she took out a badge with the silhouette of Sherlock Holmes printed on it from her pocket.
A regular knocking sound came from the badge.
Chen Shuo cast a curious look at him, and Huiyuan Ai explained: "This is the detective communicator that Professor Agasa made for the Junior Detective League. Conan must have discovered something."
As she spoke, Huiyuan Ai put the badge close to her ear and listened carefully. After a moment, her eyes suddenly became stern: "This is..."
"Morse code?" Chen Shuo took the badge, put it close to his ear and listened for a moment. Then he looked up with a strange expression: "Conan said there was another bomb, and then... uh... this kid has really changed..."
"What do you mean?" Huiyuan Ai asked. She hadn't studied Morse code in depth, but she had only heard a vague understanding of it, and she seemed a little curious about Chen Shuo's reaction.
Chen Shuo smiled slightly, put down the badge, and said with a complicated expression: "You will know in a moment."
After saying that, he tapped the badge a few times, as if responding to something, then picked up his phone and made a call.
"Have you caught the guy we were going to hand over to the police?" Chen Shuo's voice was low and calm, and there was an unquestionable sense of oppression in his tone.
