Chapter 99 I’ve always had good luck

“what’s the situation?!”

They thought the criminals would get off the bus to investigate the situation. Matsuda Jinpei and Sato Miwako were already prepared for a quarrel and fight. However, at this moment, all the passengers on the bus rushed down and ran away from the bus.

“What happened?” Jinpei Matsuda quickly stepped forward and stopped one of the men to ask.

Unexpectedly, the man shook off Matsuda Jinpei’s arm and said, “Don’t pull me. There is a bomb in the car. I don’t want to die!”

“bomb?”

Hearing this, Jinpei Matsuda quickly turned around and ran towards the bus.

As soon as I got on the bus, I saw a young man who had fainted for a long time and an old man wearing a hearing aid lying on the ground.

“Hey, Matsuda-san, you’re here?”

At the same time, Xia He squatted in front of the bomb and greeted Jinpei Matsuda with a smile.

“Xia He, why are you here?” Matsuda Jinpei opened his eyes wide.

However, Xia He said, “Now is not the time to talk about this. The bomb will explode in forty seconds. Is there any way to defuse it?”

Matsuda Jinpei: “?”

He quickly moved forward and took a look at the type of bomb in the bag – the simplest and most primitive kind, with only a neutral wire and a live wire, and a fifty percent chance of being defuseable.

So he made a prompt decision: “Don’t dismantle it. Take the bomb to a more open place.”

Most of the time, unless someone does not have time to evacuate, bomb disposal personnel will generally transport the bomb to an open area and let it explode.

After all, who would have nothing better to do than to gamble with their own life?

“It’s okay. Did you bring the tools?” Xia He asked calmly.

There were twenty-five seconds left on the timer.

“Are you really going to tear it down?” Jinpei Matsuda frowned, but seeing the number getting smaller and smaller, he could only hand the pliers he carried with him to Xia He.

“I’ve always had good luck.”

Xia He took the pliers, smiled slightly and said, “Go and carry the old man out of the car first, and leave this to me.”

As for the gangster next to the old man…

They were planning to use a bomb to kill all the people in the car, so who would care whether he lived or died?
“you……”

Jinpei Matsuda wanted to say something, but seeing Xia He’s confident look, he could only curse him as a “madman” inwardly, then carried the old man and walked under the car.

“Xiao Ai, how about we make a bet?”

Xia He turned his head at this time and looked at Huihara Ai who was still curled up in the seat, “If I cut it right, it means that we are not destined to die, and you should stop having such nonsense in the future. If I cut it wrong, then we will die here directly, and we don’t have to implicate Professor Agasa and others from now on…”

In fact, he had already realized that after encountering the members of the winery twice in a row, Haibara Ai had already decided to die.

She didn’t want to implicate Xia He.

I don’t want to implicate Professor Agasa and Aunt Kinoshita.

If possible, she would rather not have escaped from that place from the beginning, so that everyone could live a happy and stable life.

“So, as long as I disappear from this world, everything will be back on track…”

she thought to herself.

But why did Xia He refuse to let himself get his wish?

There are ten seconds left in the countdown.

Xia He extended the pliers in his hand towards the red line on the bomb.

“No!” Haibara Ai exclaimed.

“Don’t want it? Then… should I change to this one?”

He said, placing the pliers back on the blue line.

There are eight seconds left in the countdown.

“I… I don’t know…” Haibara Ai’s face showed anxiety.

This idiot, is he really not afraid of death?
“Okay, I’ll listen to you and choose the blue line.” Xia He pressed the pliers hard.

With a “click”, the countdown finally stopped at 2 seconds.

The car became silent.

Haibara Ai’s forehead was already covered with sweat. “I told you, I’ve always had good luck.” Xia He raised the pliers in his hand, “From today on, you and I can both be considered people who have died once. So, now that you have been reborn, what reason do you have not to live well?”

Huibara sighed and looked at Xia He’s smile on his face with helplessness.

It really is……

Lost to him.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you home before the people in the organization notice you.” Xia He extended his hand to Haibara Ai.

Just like what Xia He did every day when he sent her to school, the two of them held hands, stepped over the gangster who had fainted in front of the car door, and walked straight out.

……

Outside the tunnel.

Seven or eight police cars stopped at the scene.

Jinpei Matsuda held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at the time on his watch. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally returned to normal at this moment.

Then, seeing Xia He leading Huiyuan Ai out of the car, he quickly ran forward and asked Xia He: “Tell me the truth, you must have a 100% way to distinguish the live wire and the neutral wire, right?”

“How do you know?” Xia He blinked when he heard that.

“Gambling your life with a 50-50 chance… Honestly, I can’t imagine the meaning of doing that.” Jinpei Matsuda answered seriously.

After hearing this answer, Haibara Ai silently tightened the drawstring on her clothes and tucked her entire head into the hood.

“So, can you tell me this secret?” Matsuda Jinpei asked again.

“The 100% secret is… my luck.” Xia He raised his eyebrows with a smile, as if to say “just study hard”.

Matsuda Jinpei: “.”

……

“Due to a sudden accident, we are unable to continue tracking…”

“The target is not currently at the scene. I will re-investigate afterward. Over.”

Shuichi Akai took out his cell phone and quietly stood not far from the bus to record the video.

Unexpectedly, just as he put the phone back into his pocket, Xia He’s voice came from behind him: “Hey, why didn’t you take action just now?”

Akai Shuichi: “.”

“With you here, do I still need to take action?” He turned his head and glanced at Xia He.

“Let me calculate…it seems like you’ve been gone for more than two years? Now you’ve reappeared, so should I continue to call you Moroboshi Dai, or should I call you something else?”

“Whatever you like.” Akai Shuichi shrugged indifferently.

Xia He had already known his name as early as that bathing trip at the beach ten years ago.

“Then I’ll continue to call you Curly Brother.” Xia He said with a smile: “By the way, has Sister Mingmei contacted you recently?”

“Mingmei…isn’t dead?”

“of course.”

When Akai Shuichi heard this, a strange look suddenly flashed across his face.

However, he quickly hid his emotion, nodded expressionlessly and said, “That’s good.”

“Don’t you plan to meet her?” Xia He asked again.

“No need.”

Even if they met, what should he say to Mingmei?

“But with you by the child’s side, I can rest assured.”

Glancing at Haibara Ai and Conan who were already in the police car in the distance, Akai Shuichi immediately said this.

……

same moment.

“I was saved by Scarf.Boy again.”

“Tomoaki Niide” looked at Xia He who was talking with Shuichi Akai, and began to mutter to himself.
