In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 214 Explosion

Chapter 214 Explosion

The main reason is that Akutagawa Hiko has a certain idealized view of the teaching profession, which is why he was genuinely angry at someone like Shimoda Kohei who has no professional ethics. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to such a torturous technique.

This is already an act of venting anger.

Of course, it's also related to Kohei Shimoda's provocative close-up earlier.

Sonoko and Ran were having a heart-to-heart talk with Akiko Yonehara. It was clear that everyone's emotions had stabilized considerably. However, when Conan tried to eavesdrop, Heiji Hattori picked him up like a chick and tossed him next to Hiko Akutagawa.

This made Conan very anxious, scratching his head and cheeks. After all, Ran's emotional outburst was still fresh in his mind, and he was really worried.

"Why are you in such a hurry? At a time like this, unless you comfort Ran as Shinichi Kudo, you have no right to say anything."

Conan panicked so much that his head was practically spinning 360 degrees, but he realized that the people around him seemed not to have heard him at all, and even the one who was speaking, Yan, hadn't moved his mouth at all.

Knowing his identity hadn't been revealed, Conan breathed a sigh of relief. His mind started to race, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly slipped out the door.

He took the bow-tie voice changer and was about to call Ran. He had already thought of a reason: he would say that Conan had told him that his relationship with Hiko before his disappearance wasn't so close that they could talk about anything.

Moreover, Akutagawa Hikaru's every move was basically being watched, and he never made a phone call, but Conan's identity was different; no one cared at all.

Conan rubbed his hands together in the snow. Wearing thick gloves was of little use, but it provided some psychological comfort.

"The snow is falling heavier and heavier—"

Looking at the light on the second floor, Conan frowned. This person—

"We'll get Ayan involved, or at the very least Hattori. Professor Agasa can help too. If all else fails, we can ask Kid and Dad for help. We absolutely have to bring him to justice!"

Conan secretly resolved that this matter was too heinous, and even if it took time and effort, he would make this person pay the price.

This is also to prevent Ms. Yonehara from making the same choice again after she comes out, which would completely ruin her.

At that time, not only will Xiaolan Yuanzi be heartbroken, but he himself will probably also have his Dao heart shattered.

Conan waited in the snow for a while, making sure it was enough time for him and Shinichi to finish explaining what had happened, before picking up the portable cell phone that Dr. Agasa had given him, ready to offer Ran comfort from Shinichi.

While Conan was adjusting the bowtie voice changer, a sudden, violent explosion left him stunned. The only room on the second floor where anyone was was now engulfed in flames.

A figure, seemingly a teenager, paused briefly on a tree branch before transforming into a flock of mournful crows and disappearing into the wind and snow.

The people inside the villa were even more frightened than Conan. A wave of heat swept over them instantly, completely dispelling the chill of the snowy night, but the chill in their hearts left many frozen in place.

"That's—Ms. Shimoda's room, could it be—"

Many people turned their attention to Akiko Yonehara, but Akiko herself was also completely bewildered. She had only just realized that Kohei Shimoda was one of those two people; otherwise, she would have already taken action.

Since she didn't know beforehand, how could she have planted the explosives in advance?

Moreover, although she could make explosives with her knowledge, compared to the readily available deadly cyanide, handmade explosives are not only unpredictable in their power and could kill innocent people, but also do not fit Minako's death.

She would rather weave her wig into the shape of a rope and strangle those two people.

After hearing her explanation, everyone agreed that it made sense.

"But how do you explain this explosion?!"

"Yeah, did Shimoda-sensei do something outrageous that deserves revenge? They even used explosives!"

"At this time, if we were on the second floor, or even with Teacher Shimo—"

Conan rushed over and found that no one on his side had been killed. Although he knew that the chances of Akutagawa Hiko being killed were slim, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

Ran was extremely worried. She squatted down, grabbed Conan, and looked him up and down, exclaiming, "Conan! Where did you run off to? Don't you know how dangerous that was?!"

Seeing Ran on the verge of tears, Conan stammered, "Ran-neechan, that's me."

Ran cried again, but this time not for Yonehara-sensei and Sonoko, but for him. He felt both heartbroken and a little pained.

He curses the Black Organization in his heart every day.

Conan's sudden disappearance and reappearance would have aroused suspicion in an adult, who would likely suspect this person was behind it.

But how could a child who looks only seven years old make such a commotion, especially since there are no gas cylinders on the second floor?

Here, even the villas are mostly brick and wood structures. Perhaps because of the weather, there was no fire caused by the explosion, which relieved everyone, as they no longer had to brave the wind and snow to escape.

"You should check the area as soon as possible, since we can't be sure if there are any explosives left."

Akutagawa Hikaru's composure and reputation instantly made him the backbone of the group, and they did indeed need to do something to calm their anxious hearts that evening.

"It's something that needs to be done over there. Why make everyone do useless work?"

Conan tugged at Akutagawa Hiko's trouser leg and asked in a low voice.

"It's just giving them something to do, and after a thorough inspection, they can rest assured."

That makes sense, but what he really wanted to know was, what exactly would cause such a commotion by those people to kill an ordinary elementary school teacher?

Although he felt a little smug after seeing him die, he still felt that people should be dealt with by the law.

However, he still didn't ask.

The more he knows, the more he has to worry about. Ran's tearful eyes are still vivid in his mind, as are his parents, Professor Agasa, Sonoko, and Ai. He can risk his own life, but he can't drag them down with him.

It wouldn't be right to leave Akutagawa Hiko to protect so many people all by himself.

As for that Kakuzu, Ayan has clearly stated that he can't beat him. Heaven knows how many other strong individuals can threaten them.

Conan hesitated, which was unusual for him.

"Okay, stop thinking about it—"

Akutagawa Hiko ruffled Conan's hair: "Perhaps that person knows something they shouldn't know. I'll ask my friend when I get back. If you know, I'll tell you."

Akutagawa Hiko, who made a friend out of nothing, joined the team searching for possible explosives, but in reality, he was looking for an opportunity to talk to Okiya Subaru alone.

Conan, on the other hand, will obviously not have the freedom to move around by himself for the time being.
