Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 16 Confrontation with Sengoku 2

"Do you need me to explain to you how I did it? Including how I removed the bomb without letting you notice it, and...how did I know your true identity."

Guan Dounan said in a relaxed tone on the phone, as if he didn't pay attention to the other party at all.

"Or, are you going to guess by yourself, and then listen to my judgment like a student who finds the teacher's answer after an exam?"

"...The one who caused a bunch of girls to gather around was you, right?" The voice from the other end of the phone was a little rough, and he said in a low tone, "By gathering those people, you blocked other people's sight, so that No one can see what's going on inside."

"Then, take the opportunity to take the bomb and throw it into the Rice Flower River. From there, it's less than fifteen minutes away from the river where the bomb exploded..."

"To be precise, it's a little over thirteen minutes. After all, I also have to beware of what you have set for the bomb that will automatically detonate if it is violently bumped... But then I found out that it seemed that I was overthinking it." Guan Dounan Playing with the coin in his hand, he said slowly.

"Have you found me since then? Have you confirmed my identity?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little dull.

"If I said yes, what would you think? If I said no...you might as well guess when I found out." Guan Dounan didn't answer directly, but acted as a riddleman.

"…"

"It seems that you have no interest in guessing puzzles, so let me ask the question." Guan Dounan stopped his movements and focused on a building on the other side of the Mihua River, or, in other words, on a door there.

"You also have 'special abilities', right?"

That door belonged to a public restroom by the river, and just now, the guy in a coat and hat that covered his face tightly appeared from here, and then rushed back after witnessing the explosion.

Since Guan Dounan used his ability to determine the location of the bomb within a few seconds, and then used his face to attract a group of people to create a blind spot, replaced the bomb with an illusion, and then threw the bomb into the river, he has been standing there. He was waiting for that person's call nearby, and at the same time, he also paid attention to the pedestrians passing by.

In his unforgettable memory, which was achieved in disguise due to the blessing of his avatar ability, there was no record of this person ever entering that public restroom. On the contrary, he remembered this person in other scenes. In this not-so-cold weather, he dressed so thickly and covered his face, which made him stand out everywhere, including the one in the square in front of Mihua Station. A burger joint.

From that burger joint to that bathroom, it takes more than ten minutes by bike, not to mention walking. But the appearance of that man was exactly like he had just arrived by the river, and he didn't see Guan Dounan throwing a bomb inside, which seemed extremely contradictory. The only explanation was that he also had the ability to stand as a substitute or some other superpower. .

Teleport? Or through the shuttle of a carrier? Just like Seba, the art collector who could shuttle between paintings. And the carrier of his shuttle, is it difficult...

is it the door? Or a building?

After being instructed by Belmode and having personally experienced the backlash from the BOSS, Guan Dounan no longer wanted to use his stand-in ability to explore other people's stand-in abilities, so he could only settle for the next best thing, using language testing and observation to sum up the opposite. ability to come.

"...'Also'?" The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before grasping the key word.

"For some reason, I think it's better to settle the matter between us privately. I mean... it doesn't involve ordinary people, including ordinary police officers." Guan Dounan refers to Belmode's appearance when he fooled people into joining the organization. He began to flicker, "Although I don't know why you have a special obsession with Kudo Shinichi, but... we should be able to talk about it. It doesn't involve explosions or anything. Let's talk about it."

"Your ability, for 'us', seems to be a very useful ability."

"...What's the relationship between you and Kudo Shinichi? Where did he go?"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have a deep obsession with Kudo Shinichi, so much so that in this situation, he still had to ask Guan Dounan's relationship with him first.

"I and Kudo Shinichi...we are completely two people." Guan Dounan thought about his words and finally decided to say so, "But at least recently, the 'Kudo Shinichi' you have seen, or the news about him, is not him. Own."

"Are you pretending to be Shinichi Kudo? Since when? How many times?!"

The emotion on the other side was obviously agitated, and he began to ask questions. In Guan Dounan's eyes, this reaction, coupled with his previous obsession with Kudo Shinichi and his desire to destroy his reputation, all add up to a piece of information: Kudo Shinichi once did a certain events that are directly related to this person, and mostly negatively related.

For example, Kudo Shinichi once misjudged a case, causing the person's relatives or someone close to him to be wronged. Of course, this is all from the perspective of that person, and the truth is still unknown.

"You have too many questions, and it seems that I am in control now." Guan Dounan did not answer his questions directly, but took the initiative back to himself.

"I'm asking you, since when did you pretend to be Kudo Shinichi! How many times?! Answer me!"

The man on the opposite side seemed to be a little too excited. The voice came from the phone, and Guan Dounan's eardrums hurt, so he couldn't help holding the receiver a little further away. However, when the man was so excited, the effect of the voice changer seemed to have weakened a bit, making Guan Dounan feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Calm down, are we 'talking' now, or do you want me to call the police to arrest you now? Oh, it might be difficult to arrest you, but find the studio where you make bombs and list you as Wanted criminals, it shouldn't be difficult."

"As a wanted criminal, you need to be wary wherever you go. Even if you have the ability, the bomb will always run out... and I'm also watching you."

"Are you right~www.mtlnovel.com~ Mr. Morigu Teiji?"

Some familiar voices have an inexplicable enthusiasm for Kudo Shinichi, and recently received the news that "Kudo Shinichi is still alive". Taking these three factors into consideration, the only suitable candidate was Emperor Sengu, so Guan Dounan directly named his name on the phone, hoping to calm him down.

However, although his identity can probably be determined, he still does not know why he is so angry with Kudo Shinichi, nor does he know the details of his abilities. It may be counterproductive to rush the police out to arrest him.

After all, no one can guarantee that he will use his ability to directly place bombs in elementary schools, hospitals or other places, and directly start revenge on society.

"…"

"You are not Kudo Shinichi, but now, I will treat you as him." Morigu Teiji was silent for a moment, and said indifferently, "Since you can find the bomb I set up within a few minutes, why don't you try again? Try my third challenge for Shinichi Kudo."

"If you can successfully crack this challenge, I'll stop and talk to you...and you."
