No One Knows Demolitions Better Than Me

"Hand over the briefcase immediately!"

Fujino ignored the stares of those around him and continued to yell at the woman.

"No!"

The woman continued her act, "I've already told you, I won't accept your advances. What more do you want from me!"

If soft tactics didn't work, he'd have to resort to force.

Fujino frowned, activated his system enhancement, grabbed the woman's arms, and executed a shoulder throw.

The briefcase flew from the woman's grasp and into the air.

"Conan! Catch the briefcase!"

"Got it!"

Conan leaped like a Shiba Inu puppy, catching the briefcase mid-air. He then landed on his back, protecting the bomb-filled briefcase.

"How can you treat a woman like that, young man!"

At this moment, a man who couldn't stand Fujino's behavior stood up from his seat and threw a punch at him.

Fujino turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the man's movement.

The next instant, a whip kick flew out, landing directly on the man's waist.

"Ah!"

The man was kicked backward onto a nearby seat, clutching his side and groaning in pain.

But with one person stepping up, another would surely follow.

Seeing the indignant, upstanding citizens filling the carriage, Fujino felt the situation was not good.

If this continued, he would likely become the target of everyone's anger.

After a moment of thought, before more people could target him, he shouted, "There's a bomb in that woman's briefcase! Do you all want to die?!"

"A bomb?!"

Upon hearing this, the passengers in the carriage began to stir.

The crowd surged towards the doors to escape, and the heroic man who had stepped forward was knocked to the ground.

He didn't know who had stepped on his back, leaving two footprints.

But struggling, he still managed to escape the carriage.

Before long, only Fujino and Conan were left on the second floor of the first-class carriage.

"So, can you open this case?"

Fujino slowly walked towards Conan and asked.

"I can't open it."

Conan tried and shook his head, "It seems this briefcase is locked..."

But before he could finish, Fujino had already taken action.

With a single punch, he broke the briefcase's combination lock.

"Hey! What is Fujino doing!"

Conan was clearly startled by Fujino and panicked, "Aren't you afraid it will explode?!"

"This kind of bomb doesn't explode that easily."

Fujino casually opened the briefcase, looked at the detonators inside, and took a deep breath.

He then explained, "C4 explosives are very stable... they won't even explode when exposed to open flames."

"Furthermore, based on what you just said, the person who planted the bomb wouldn't install a device that explodes upon disarming, because if something went wrong, their own life would be in danger."

"So what do we do now?"

Conan stared intently at the bomb in front of Fujino, swallowing hard.

They absolutely couldn't let it explode in the carriage!

If this quantity of explosives detonated while the train was traveling at high speed, everyone on the train would be in mortal danger!

Ran too...

"It seems there's only one way..."

Muttering, Fujino pulled a pair of nail clippers from his pocket.

"Are you trying to disarm it?!"

Conan quickly grabbed Fujino's hand, desperately trying to dissuade him.

"Don't do anything rash!"

"If you make one mistake, everyone on this train will die!"

"I don't know how to disarm it, do you?"

Fujino suddenly fixed Conan with a cold stare. "Besides disarming it, is there any other way?"

Conan asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you can disarm this bomb?"

"Nobody understands bomb disposal better than I do."

Fujino glanced at Conan and Pushed him away. "Kids shouldn't get in the way here, hurry up and get out..."

"Fujino..."

Conan's gaze towards Fujino suddenly became a little hazy.

So I was wrong about this guy...

"We're all going to die anyway."

Conan's gaze also became firm. "If this bomb explodes on the train, no one will escape. I'll disarm it here with you."

Fujino glanced at Conan and didn't say anything else...

The only reason he wanted to get this kid away was simply because he found the meddler inconvenient and unable to show off his skills. He had no idea what this kid was thinking.

Fujino tightly gripped nail clippers capable of cutting any wire, and carefully opened the briefcase. What greeted him was a block of C4 explosives capable of blowing up the entire carriage, with messy wires extending from the explosive block.

Staring at the remote-controlled bomb before him, Fujino's lips curved into a slight smile.

On the very first night he obtained the Complete Book of Bomb Knowledge, he had already learned everything within it.

At this moment, the structure of the bomb had become clear in his eyes.

In just an instant, the method to disarm this bomb flooded his mind.

Coupled with the Bomb Expert skill's twenty percent success rate, he was now very confident about disarming the bomb before him.

It didn't matter if he failed.

At worst, he could just throw it out the window.

Or put it into the system space...

However, doing so might trigger unnecessary suspicion, so he'd better pray for successful disarming...

[Disarming successful...]

[System reward: 50 Bomb Expert experience points]

The system's prompt sounded in his ear.

Fujino cut the last red wire and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He plopped down onto the carriage floor, wiped the sweat from his temples, and then took out a piece of gum from his pocket to chew.

Seeing Fujino relax, Conan asked doubtfully, "How is it, was it successful?!"

"Disarming successful."

"Phew..."

Conan also let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing this.

His back was already drenched in cold sweat.

But why did he know how to disarm bombs?

I remember he's just a high school student...

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fujino, where did you learn bomb disposal?"

"Ahem."

Fujino gave a light cough. "As a Full-time Detective, it's quite reasonable to know bomb disposal, isn't it?"

Then, he changed the subject. "But speaking of which, little Conan, you should use polite language when addressing elders!"

Oh no!

Conan's face stiffened at this.

Because of the bomb incident just now, he had almost forgotten that he was still a child!

Realizing this, he quickly put on a naive, childish smile. "I know, big brother Fujino!"

"Conan... and Fujino-senpai?"

At this moment, a familiar voice called out.

Fujino turned his head and saw Ran standing at the carriage door, wearing a white high-neck jacket and velvet over-the-knee socks.

Hmm, she's a nice young girl. It's a bit of a waste on that brat Kudo Shinichi.

Fujino commented inwardly.

"Are you two alright?!"

Seeing them sitting on the floor looking like they had just survived a disaster, she asked in surprise, "Was there really a bomb in this carriage?!"

"There was..."

Fujino scratched the back of his head. "But I've already disarmed it."
