I Really Don't Understand the World of Psychopaths After All
"The remaining bombs could destroy a building?!"
"This is just a preliminary estimate; the actual impact will be far greater than simply destroying a building."
Juzo Megure's face was serious. "We've already interrogated Moroya Teiji, but that madman won't say a word..."
Conan looked deep in thought.
Are there three-quarters of the bombs left?
Hateful!
Where on earth would that madman Moroya Teiji hide those bombs?!
There's absolutely no clue!
Wait, since those bombs were defused by that guy who said it didn't matter who he was.
That guy might know something...
"Speaking of which, Inspector Megure, who exactly captured Moroya Teiji and defused those bombs?"
Conan snapped out of his reverie, "Perhaps the guy who captured Moroya Teiji knows something."
"That's what we thought too, but we haven't found a single clue about the other party's identity after investigating for so long."
A melancholy expression appeared on Juzo Megure's obese face.
To be honest, they've been investigating that strange man for quite some time now.
I fished a bunch of fish last time.
The result was that the bait was almost eaten by the other side...
Fortunately, the other party was not a vicious person.
Otherwise, Sato Miwako would have been killed.
"Does the Metropolitan Police Department have any leads on that guy?!" Conan noticed the emphasis in the question.
"All we know is that the other party is someone who is active in Beika Town and likes to wear Batman Mask and appear at night. That's all."
Conan asked in surprise, "Beika Batman?"
"You've heard of Little Brother Conan?"
"I've heard about that weirdo from my classmates." Conan nodded.
He had indeed heard of the name "Beika Batman".
I learned it from the kids around me.
I heard that he was a strange man who liked to appear at night, dressed up as Batman, and take vigilante justice against criminals.
Beika Batman's targets are mostly robbers and perverts.
Therefore, it is very popular among high school girls, adult women, and elementary school students.
She is truly a friend to women!
Even Ayumi is a fan of that guy.
Next to the Beika City Hall.
Fujino walked slowly to the brightly lit Beika City Hall.
"So, this slight asymmetry really counts as asymmetry?"
Fujino looked up at the enormous building in front of him. "I really don't understand the world of the mentally ill."
He shook his head, then swayed to a nearby bench and plopped down.
Then his consciousness focused on Akemi Fujino, who was inside the Beika City Hall.
At this moment, Akemi Fujino, also known as Soul Lotus Fujino, was dressed in Assassin's Robe and walking among the crowd.
Akemi Fujino was very agile. After skillfully dodging the surrounding crowd, she arrived at a trash can as specified in the System Task.
"A trash can?"
Fujino's expression was strange. After a struggle with his mind, he silently put on gloves and took out the bomb from the trash can.
The bomb is a simple timer-triggered type, and it's easy to disarm; just cut the wire connecting the detonator.
Fujino took out his nail clippers, and the moment the blades touched the wire, the wire was completely cut in a physical sense.
[Congratulations, host, you have defused a bomb. The system rewards you with 50 Bomb Expert Proficiency Points.]
The bomb disposal went smoothly.
Even the bomb defusal skill wasn't triggered...
In fact, most of the bombs that Moroya Teiji planted in the building and in his own residence were simple combinations of timed detonators and explosives.
After all, it's unrealistic to meticulously assemble so many bombs.
All the bombs were defused, and finally, only one bomb remained.
That huge bomb was buried in the movie theater.
The bomb's overall design is very interesting and unlike any other bomb before it.
It's as if it were meticulously and cleverly designed.
But that's about it.
For Fujino, who possessed knowledge of bombs, it was just a slightly more difficult-to-use large bomb.
The bombs planted inside the Beika City Hall were quickly defused.
Fujino thoroughly exploited the Bomb Expert's skill level.
While ensuring that he could still fit the motorcycle in his Pocket Dimension, he also secretly took a large amount of explosives, as well as several detonators whose explosives had already been removed.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the Detective Profession Mission: Serial Bombing Case; the System Task reward of 1 million yen and 200 Detective Reputation points have been issued.]
[Congratulations, host, on completing the Bomb Expert career mission: Defusing a Chain of Bombs; the System Task reward of 1 million yen and 200 proficiency points have been issued.]
[Congratulations, host! Your Bomb Expert level has been upgraded! Current level: Top tier]
Current balance: 6.66 million yen
"Is it top-tier?"
Fujino opened the job interface: [Bomb Expert: Top Tier (Breakthrough requires 3 million yen)]
Three million yen?
Fujino stared at the large "three million yen" sign and pinched his philtrum.
For him, who possessed a huge sum of 6.6 million yen, 3 million yen was not a large amount.
But it's by no means a small amount.
Keep in mind that three million yen is almost a year's salary for a Japan office worker.
Fujino made money quickly, didn't seem to notice anything amiss.
But for ordinary people, this is an absolute fortune!
We need to think about this carefully...
"Fujino- Senior?"
Not far away, Ran happened to be passing by and noticed Fujino lying on the bench, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
She walked up carrying a gift bag and asked in confusion, "Are you here to watch a movie too, Senior?"
"Movie?"
Fujino opened his eyes and was somewhat surprised to see Ran.
After a moment, Fujino, having recovered his composure, thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I came here to watch a movie."
Ran guessed, "Could it be that you, Senior, are also here to see the Crimson Thread Legend?"
Fujino paused for a moment. "The Glorious and Troubled Days of Einstein."
"Well?"
Ran was stunned. "Senior, do you like watching this kind of movie?"
Ran looked at Fujino.
To be honest, Fujino's liking for this type of movie was quite unexpected.
She remembered Sonoko mentioning it; it seemed to be a very boring movie.
Unless...
Suddenly, Ran seemed to have figured something out and revealed a smile like that of an aunt.
Fujino- Senior must have come here on a date with a girl.
"Um."
Fujino didn't notice Ran's strange expression and just nodded silently in response.
The Glorious and Troubled Days of Einstein were something he had just glimpsed while defusing a bomb in the screening room in his spirit form.
"By the Senior, have you seen Shinichi?"
Ran raised her wristwatch. "I made plans to go to the movies with him, and it's less than an hour until it starts..."
"Kudo Shinichi?"
Fujino shook his head firmly, "I've been sitting here for ages and I haven't seen him."
"Really... you promised me that before."
Ran looked a little resentful, "Are they going to stand me up again?"
