Chapter 26 - Bomb (3)

"Don't worry, I'll work fast…" Hagiwara Kenji opened the cover and then his smile froze. The inside of the bomb was messier than the previous one. Cables of various colours were crisscrossing each other, making one dizzy.

He looked at Amamiya Yuki who was looking in his direction earnestly and gave a smile before he turned around and took out his phone. "Jinpei, are you done over there? I need your help here."

Even though his skills were not bad, in such a pressing time, he couldn't guarantee to finish the job quickly. 

It's better to call Matsuda Jinpei over.

"I'm almost there. Is it a big one?" Matsuda Jinpei asked while rushing over. 

"Well, a bit more complicated than the previous one," Hagiwara Kenji replied with a gritted teeth. "10 minutes left."

"Got it." Matsuda Jinpei also sounded solemn.

If Hagiwara Kenji couldn't solve it, then it's a big problem.

[Oh no, it wouldn't be a knife, right?]

[Ahhh, they escaped death from the previous scenario and now they're about to die?]

[Nooo!]

The barrage was noisy and Amamiya Yuki felt a bit helpless in her heart.

No wonder the other players had no intention of saving people.

Because the popularity will not be given to them but to these characters.

Then what did she do before is for naught?

Amamiya Yuki wanted to curse.

Yet, seeing these people still being alive in front of her… she felt that she couldn't really leave them be. 

If it's possible to save people, she really wanted to do it to the best of her ability. And since she was working in the SAT, saving people has become a kind of instinct.

Amamiya Yuki's thoughts wandered.

Bam!

"Jinpei, come here…uh?" Hagiwara Kenji looked at Edogawa Conan speechlessly. "Why did you bring this brat here?"

"He insisted, saying that his sister is here." Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes and then dropped Conan down.

Amamiya Yuki looked at Conan with amazement.

She didn't know how he managed to convince the strong headed Matsuda Jinpei to come here while carrying him.

[Conan stubbornly latched onto Matsuda Jinpei hahaha]

[He's quite loyal]

[At least, that one is true]

[Now, it's time for Matsuda Jinpei to solve the bomb]

"Conan, it's dangerous!" Amamiya Yuki said in a reproachful tone.

"I'll be staying here, Amamiya Neechan," Conan said without hesitation. He hugged the counter so that they couldn't drag him out.

"Tsk." Matsuda Jinpei clicked his tongue and quickly checked the bomb. When he saw her intertwined cables, he understood why Hagiwara Kenji asked for him to come. 

While some of the colours were still different, it's difficult to solve because he had to trace them back one by one.

"Can you do it, Jinpei?" 

"Of course!" Matsuda Jinpei was confident and had already started to operate on it.

Amamiya Yuki watched Matsuda Jinpei cut the cables one by one and sighed in her heart. As expected, her half backed bombs couldn't possibly be a match against Matsuda Jinpei.

In a way, he's simply a bug.

The intertwined and complicated cables just slowed him down instead of not being able to defuse it.

"Please wait for a while more, Miss," Matsuda Jinpei said while focusing on the bomb. "I'll definitely finish defusing the bomb quickly."

"I trust you, Mr. Police Officer."

"My name is Matsuda Jinpei."

"I'm Hagiwara Kenji," Hagiwara Kenji interrupted from the side and smiled. "Miss, do you come here because of the promotion?"

"Ah, yes. I was waiting for Conan and that's when I saw the promotion and came here." Amamiya Yuki smiled.

She could tell that Hagiwara Kenji was trying to make her relax and not to focus too much on the bomb. Any ordinary person wouldn't be able to stay calm.

But Amamiya Yuki is not an ordinary person.

"I see. Miss Amamiya is…."

In this way, Amamiya Yuki and Hagiwara Kenji chatted while Matsuda Jinpei worked quickly to defuse the bomb.

The barrage was laughing when they saw this.

[If it's not for the wrong occasion, I'll just say as expected of Hagiwara Kenji. He's truly the social butterfly]

[Indeed and Miss Amamiya was truly following his pace.]

[Their interaction is really cute! AHH, why did Hagiwara Kenji had to have a girlfriend here]

[Pfft! Hahaha]

[He's more suitable to be a sea king]

[Watch out upstairs, the men in Conan are all very loyal!]

[Hahaha]

….

"It's done," Matsuda Jinpei said after cutting the last cable and saw the timer stopped at 1 minute.

That was a close call. 

"Thank you, officer." Amamiya Yuki looked grateful and the bomb was removed from her hand carefully by Matsuda Jinpei. 

"It's nothing." Matsuda Jinpei was looking at the cables with gritted teeth. Whoever designed this bomb is definitely looking for trouble. The design itself was not difficult and he felt that it was something he had learned back in the police academy.

But whoever is twisting cables with similar colors are definitely looking for trouble.

It took him some time to confirm that he was indeed cutting the right cables.

Tsk.

"Amamiya Neechan, are you alright?" Conan hurried over to Amamiya Yuki's side and held her hand worriedly. 

"Don't worry, Conan. I'm fine." Amamiya Yuki rubbed Conan's head tenderly.

Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he let Amamiya Yuki rub his head. After all, the other party has just experienced the threat of a bomb. It was nothing much to let her rub his head. 

"Next time, don't rush over to the crime scene and let the police officers do their work." Amamiya Yuki admonishes Conan. "You're just a kid and the police officers are not so unreliable that they have to let minors do their work."

Even though some police officers in Conan's world are a bit…

Forget it.

There were still some reliable police officers.

"Yes, Amamiya Neechan," Conan could only agree but grumbled inwardly. 

There were not many capable police officers from what he had met so far. Many of them were relatively unreliable.

[Hahaha, Conan only agrees on the surface but disagrees inside.]

[Who made the police officers in Conan's world are indeed hard to describe]

[There are still some reliable ones, but the real capable one is only Furuya Rei]

[Puchi]

[Inspector Megure is not that bad]

[Morofushi Takaaki isn't that bad either!]

[Sato Miwako just needs more training hahaha]

[Takagi too]

Just as the barrage was busy discussing this matter, there was a sound of beep following by the countdown.

It started directly at 3 seconds. 

Amamiya Yuki looked at the bomb behind them and her pupil constricted.

At this moment, she completely forgot that she only put fireworks inside and quickly picked Conan up with one hand and then used the other hand to pull Matsuda Jinpei, who was the closest to the bomb away.

"RUN!"
