Chapter 74 Whose Fox Is This?

Although my clothes have changed, my face has not changed and my mask has not changed.

Conan can quickly remember the other person at critical moments when he saw him, let alone this weird magician who has seen him several times and left a deep impression on him every time.

That's right, the magician is not the Onmyoji - there are no ghosts in the world, and it can make the two people in the medieval exhibition hall believe that there are ghosts in the world, because the black cat uses some magical methods.

The moment he recognized Shiraishi, Conan was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he felt "this is not strange".

After all, although I don’t know where he got the information, this "black cat" seems to be able to smell the breath of the case and then arrive in time to stop it.

This time should be no exception, after all, he is only separated from the explosives by a few cars.

As soon as he thought of the word "sniff", Conan saw a furry head arching out of his pocket in front of Shiraishi.

Then the dog stretched out its front paws, grabbed the briefcase held in front of Shiraishi, and put his nose close to it, and sniffed it twice.

The briefcase blocked the golden chain man's vision. He didn't see this scene. He just nodded to Shiraishi gratefully, and then reached out to take the bag over.

At this moment, the fox showed a very humanized disgust. It sneezes twice, and its front paws on its briefcase slipped, and rolled out of its pocket with a gushy slurred.

Conan subconsciously raised his hand and held the inflexible animal. The fluffy and soft feel made him unable to help but hold Rua twice.

When the fox just poked his head out, he thought the black cat was carrying a young Satsuma with him.

But now when I look closely, Conan quickly identified from the big tail and vertical pupils that ordinary dogs do not have, which seemed to be a fox.

The fox has a very sensitive sense of smell. If it is well trained, it is a good choice to find bombs.

But when I saw Shiraishi just now, I didn’t see him having a pet box... Where did the fox hide before?

Just as I was thinking, a gaze with a strong presence shot from above my head.

Conan froze slightly and stopped rubbing the hand of someone else's fox.

He looked up uncomfortable and smiled, and handed the fox back. At this time, it would be better not to provoke this eccentric ally, as it would be a car of life...

Shiraishi had already returned the briefcase to the unlucky man who was harassed by the naughty child. He looked down at the fox, then looked at Conan, thinking for a moment, but not reaching out to pick it up.

After the fox fell into Conan's hand, he was scratched and secretly waved his claws while enjoying itching. There was no problem with the man in the gold chain bag, but he just put some other unpleasant things.

This is consistent with the routine in Shiraishi's cognition - in various detective novels, the probability of being designed as the real murderer is not high.

He just ran over to pick up his bag, just in case. In fact, when he just entered the car and locked several suspects carrying briefcases, Shiraishi quickly focused his attention on the old man and the woman.

If there was no briefcase falling, Shiraishi originally wanted to let the fox run around alone in the order of the old man - woman - social animal - gold chain man.

In this way, even if its appearance causes a commotion, Shiraishi can still obtain useful information before the conductor arrives, and at the same time, it can prevent the person carrying the bomb from doubting and causing some other tricks after he, a suspicious person.

Although the plan has been disrupted, a Conan suddenly appeared. This is just right - the combination of innocent children and cute pets is even less suspicious.

Shiraishi originally wanted to pull Conan over and whisper a little advice, but considering that once he abandoned his gloomy character, he would easily be chased by Conan to ask a bunch of questions that Shiraishi could not explain himself, he quickly put away this idea again.

Finally, Shiraishi just looked at the fox and Conan, then raised his chin coldly towards another person carrying a briefcase, and turned himself toward the corridor connecting the two cars.

...and now leave?

Don't want the fox?

Conan looked at his back as he was in the corridor, stunned for a second or two before slowly reacting. This is what he meant... It seemed like he was asking him to take the fox to smell it?

...Indeed, compared to the black cat, it is indeed less suspicious to be the child with a fox.

The only problem is that without the owner's order, does the fox know what it should do, especially because the fox looks so small.

He looked at the pair of narrow and moist eyes for a moment. Conan held it without any confidence. According to the seat order of several suspects, he first arrived at the social animal wearing a suit, glasses and an ordinary appearance.

This man looks very annoying to naughty kids, but he doesn't seem to be too repulsive to furry pets.

He was not angry when he saw the fox jumping onto his briefcase. He just reached out and touched it with restraint, and then turned around and whispered to Conan:

"On the Shinkansen, pets must be put in the pet box. It is illegal to put them outside like this. Let me tell you the parents if I hear it!"

Conan pretended to be obediently, caught the fox that was walking back, and watched it scratch its ears on its own. He didn't know if it was a problem with the bag that represented the social animal, or if it really just went up and took a walk.

So Conan couldn't help but glance into the corridor. There was a person standing vaguely against the wall in the darkness, looking like he was looking here, but there was no movement.

...Probably, it means no problem?

Conan began to doubt the reliability of the black cat and the fox, but now, he had no better way. He could only hold the fox with his teeth and slipped to the woman with a briefcase.

The woman sat on the side of the aisle, and her briefcase was placed horizontally on the seat beside the window.

The short-haired lady is much more kind than the golden chain man and the social animal. When she saw Conan holding the fox and leaning over, she couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Before Conan could let go, she asked, "Can I touch it?"

I can't get it.

As soon as Conan leaned over with his hands, the fox stepped on the woman's legs and threw himself onto the box. While sniffing secretly, he looked up at her and moaned, pretending not to be exploring, but just finding a good place to bask in the sun.

After smelling it, its shaking tail paused slightly.

After lying flat and touching it for two times, the fox jumped off the ground, and rushed into the corridor without waiting for Conan, with his tail and headless head. Someone noticed an abnormality along the way. When he turned his head to look, it had already run away.

Conan looked at its unusually nervous back and looked at the woman who was happy because she was rubbing the fox. He also ran to the corridor, wanting to discuss with the black cat what to do next.

This seems to be the first time they have lived in peace as a non-hostile identity. Although this temporary ally looks scary, he should still be reliable based on his elusive performance in the previous few times.

However, my thoughts disappeared after I arrived at the corridor.

Conan was stunned when he looked at the corridor where there were no people and no foxes.

...Where are people?

Just leave??

At this time, there are still 14 minutes left before the explosion time mentioned by Gin.

So long, it was enough for Shiraishi to walk back and forth in the car several times. He relieved his call to the fox and went to find the flight attendant.

Since you have determined where the bomb is, the rest can be left to professionals to deal with.

Although I feel that "professionals" in this world are generally not reliable, at least they are better than ordinary people like him who have never been exposed to bombs at all.

Hopefully they don't treat this as an exercise...

Shiraishi quickly found his goal.

However, although his current look is a little less suspicious, his unreliable level has increased rapidly. Shiraishi could only barely explain his behavior of blocking his face by using "worrying to be retaliated" and fooling him into this matter.

Fortunately, no matter how low the flight attendant trusted him, they still responded quickly according to the process and asked Shiraishi the location of the passengers carrying the bomb.

After Shiraishi pointed out in detail, he also told them the characteristics of the bomb - it will explode due to violent vibrations and will be detonated due to the trigger of a button, so please be sure to separate the carrier from everything that can be pressed and can be regarded as buttons.

What he said was quite well-known, and the flight attendant gradually began to nod. After the carriage, the train conductor hesitated again.

"Ryoko Mitsui...Isn't this the female congresswoman who is in the limelight recently?" She has a bright future and is said to be very decent. How could she have something to do with the bomb...

He looked at Bai Shi suspiciously for a while. After a while of whispering, everyone decided to go to the second floor to see the situation first and then take measures.

On the way to the private room, a small group of people met a primary school student who was walking in the opposite direction, wearing glasses and tied with bow tie.

Shiraishi, who was mixed in a group of uniformed personnel, was very conspicuous at the moment. Conan looked over and his steps were stiff.

The black cat who was always using his own way to stop the crime actually ran to contact the flight attendant... Could it be that the incident happened suddenly and he did not make enough preparations and could only give in for the lives of the entire car?

He was not prepared enough and would rather postpone the action than perform. This is very consistent with the characteristics of a magician. Conan nodded secretly and decided to ask the doctor to change direction and investigate Shirashi's identity again, while also checking whether there are any well-known magicians related to the "Black Cat".

As he thought about it, Conan also sneaked into the team of these people and soon followed them to the second floor private room.

Although these flight attendants respect Ms. Mitsui at the strong request of the train commander, they did not completely ignore Shiraishi's words.

When requesting to check the box, a clever guy temporarily took away the woman's big brother who was placed on the table - there were many buttons on this thing.
