"What? A huge explosion at an underground bar? Alright, I'm on my way immediately." Inspector Megure hung up the phone: "Miwako, Takagi, come with me."
By then, Gin and his group had already left by car.
"Vodka, has everything at the base been destroyed?" Gin asked with a cold gaze.
"Big bro, everything has been destroyed. No one will be able to find out that place was our base," Vodka replied confidently.
"Gin, why did we leave? Only the hallway exploded, the inside of the bar didn't suffer any damage," Chianti asked, confused.
"Idiot, can a base that has been exposed to the police still be used?"
Reprimanded like that by Gin, Chianti dared not show the slightest discontent.
"Did that guy mean this when he said he would destroy our base?" Korn asked doubtfully.
"I'm afraid that was his real purpose in seeking us out. Trading the Maple Leaf gold coins was just a secondary thing," Gin had already understood Heiji's objective, but it was no use understanding it now, it had already happened.
"Big bro, a thousand Maple Leaf gold coins are missing," Vodka said, looking up at Gin.
"Vodka, have you traced his account?"
"Big bro, it's untraceable. His account is flawless, it can't even be attacked or defended against."
The inside of the car fell silent!
"That person's true identity must be known to everyone in the underworld. Let's just drop it."
The reason Gin was so sure was because he himself belonged to that level, and his reputation in the underworld was notorious. That's why he speculated about Heiji's identity in this way.
A pink BMW sped down the highway.
Ding~!!!
"Congratulations, host, for completing the B-class mission. 100 evil points have been eliminated."
Next, the character's attribute panel appeared.
Item: Hidden Coin Gun (Permanent Item).
Woman: Kazuha Toyama
Girlfriend: None
Evil Points: -99884
The character's attribute panel had undergone a small change.
Kazuha had moved from the "Girlfriend" category to the "Woman" category, and a new "Item" category had been added.
However, what relieved Heiji the most was that the evil points figure finally seemed a bit more acceptable.
On another road, several police cars passed in the opposite direction. Heiji could even see the serious faces of Inspector Megure and the others.
Due to Kazuha's indisposition, she stayed on the third floor and didn't come down to the agency on the second.
"Heiji, you're back."
Seeing Heiji return, Kazuha was filled with joy. She jumped up, but in doing so, aggravated her injury and couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows.
Heiji quickly went over and hugged her. He knew perfectly well that this happened to all women the first time.
"Heiji, where have you been?"
Having just become a woman, there is always a little fear in the heart, and that's when a man's comfort is needed most.
"I went to buy a gift for my silly girl."
Heiji took a jewelry box from his pocket. Upon opening it, a shining crystal necklace lay quietly inside.
"It's so beautiful!!!", Kazuha loved it instantly.
Heiji smiled faintly, putting the necklace on her neck, which contrasted beautifully with her white skin.
"Wow, what a beautiful necklace! You're so lucky, Kazuha."
Sonoko came out of the kitchen and immediately saw the crystal necklace on Kazuha's neck.
"Yes, it's really gorgeous," Ran said as well.
"No fair, Heiji! And what about ours?"
Sonoko put down the dishes, extended her delicate hand in front of Heiji, her eyes full of expectation.
Naturally, Heiji hadn't forgotten about these two. He took two jewelry boxes from his pocket containing crystal bracelets. Although they weren't as spectacular as Kazuha's necklace, they were also very pretty.
"Heiji, I can't accept this gift," Ran said, shaking her head.
"If Ran doesn't want it, I won't be so polite!"
Sonoko, delighted, put the bracelet on her left wrist. Her white skin and the crystal bracelet were a perfect match.
"I don't have a habit of taking back things I've given. If you don't want it, you can throw it away."
Heiji gently shook his head; that was one of his habits.
"Ran, just accept it. When has that Kudo guy ever given you a gift? He could be off with some girlfriend right now," Sonoko goaded her.
Ran thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Heiji."
"Ran-neechan, why are we eating on the third floor?"
At that moment, Conan ran up from the second floor, a look of resignation on his face.
"We interrupt for a breaking news story: this morning there was a large explosion in an underground bar. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Next, we will interview the inspector in charge of this operation, Inspector Megure."
[Inspector Megure? Large explosion?]
Conan became interested and quickly sat down on the sofa.
"This is a carefully planned, high-intelligence crime. Judging from the traces at the crime scene, not a single clue has been found, which indicates that this is a habitual offender, and a very intelligent one at that," Inspector Megure said seriously.
"Judging by the scene, everything is charred. Did someone throw a bomb inside the bar?"
"It wasn't a bomb," Inspector Megure shook his head.
"It wasn't a bomb? Then was it gunpowder, fireworks, or something like that?"
"None of those things. This type of explosive is very common in our daily lives, but few people pay attention to it," Inspector Megure said, looking at Satō Miwako.
Satō Miwako nodded, and the camera opportunely focused on her.
"Judging from the scene, although everything is charred, there is white powder scattered everywhere. This is all flour, and the explosion was caused by this substance."
"Flour can cause an explosion too?" Ran asked with curiosity.
"That's what Heiji is for. Heiji, can flour explode?" Sonoko loved asking Heiji questions.
"Flour by itself cannot explode, but when its concentration in the air reaches a critical point, if it comes into contact with an open flame, a violent explosion occurs, with a power no less than that of a common hand grenade."
The three girls' eyes went wide as saucers: "Flour + Fire = Bomb???"
Watching the television, Heiji smiled faintly. The hallway wasn't very large, and pouring a whole cartload of flour was enough for the concentration to cause a violent explosion. To destroy a base, it's not necessary to blow it sky-high. Any secret base, once it attracts attention, is no longer suitable for continued use. That was also the reason the system had determined that he had completed the mission.
