Chapter 187 - Memory?

With Conan's shout, Inspector Nakamori quickly ordered for evacuation while calling for the bomb disposal squad to come over.

There was panic and the police officers were all staying behind.

Hikari Yuki looked over and frowned.

Her instinct was still telling her that something was wrong.

But it was not directed at her. 

'It couldn't be Aiko, right?'

The two of them were friends based on the setting of this game world. Even though in reality she didn't know Megumi Aiko at all and the other party also didn't know much about her. But the system logs stated that the two of them were indeed friends before.

So it was not impossible for her body's instinct to remind her.

Hikari Yuki looked around while staying not far from Megumi Aiko.

When she saw someone raise a gun towards Megumi Aiko, she quickly rushed towards Megumi Aiko. "Get down!"

Bang!

A bullet passed by where Megumi Aiko was standing not long ago.

"Kyaaaaa!"

"Ahhhh"

"Shooting!"

Hikari Yuki couldn't think about how someone could enter with a gun. Considering that she herself often smuggled weapons to various places where weapons were not allowed… 

*cough*

Anyway, Hikari Yuki was not concerned about it.

She looked at Megumi Aiko in front of her.

"Officer Megumi, are you alright?" Hikari Yuki asked worriedly.

Megumi Aiko felt a bit dizzy and as she looked at Hikari Yuki's face amidst the blinding light from the lamp above, strange images seemed to appear in her head.

This didn't seem to be the first time this happened….

There were not many cases that involved shooting so far.

After all, guns were strictly controlled in Tokyo and most people whom Megumi Aiko met were people who were not qualified to use guns.

The rare times when she was in danger was when she faced bombing with Matsuda Jinpei.

He also shielded her and protected her.

But seeing Hikari Yuki's face, Megumi Aiko felt a bit strange.

"Have we met before?"

Hearing Megumi Aiko's question, Hikari Yuki's eyes flickered slightly as she moved away from Megumi Aiko. Her expression showed confusion and she didn't answer the other party's question but looked at the distance where the shooter had the gun kicked away by a soccer ball.

There was no need to doubt.

It was definitely Conan who made a move.

After that, the other police officers quickly subdued the shooter who kept on shouting in anger. 

"Ah, sorry, I think my head is being a bit strange," Megumi Aiko quickly apologized. 

Even if they had met, she wouldn't be able to remember the other party. After all, everything that happened only occurred from the system's log and not something she experienced personally.

Still, the images that crossed her mind not long ago made her feel that she had experienced this before.

Being saved by others when she was about to be shot…

"I will definitely remember if I have met someone like you, Officer Megumi," Hikari Yuki replied slowly.

"Huh?" Megumi Aiko looked confused.

But it was not the time to care about this.

She was being called to identify the shooter and she recognized him as the bomber who set up the bomb but run away a few weeks ago when she was going out with Matsuda Jinpei. Thinking about that day, Megumi Aiko granted the criminal another punch.

Hikari Yuki looked at Megumi Aiko's violent operation and shook her head helplessly.

It seemed that she could bypass this for the time being.

But what should she do if Megumi Aiko asked this question to her again in the future?

Thinking about it, Hikari Yuki felt a rare headache.

She definitely didn't want to tell the current Megumi Aiko about her real situation. It would not be convenient.

'Why did she start to remember things… wait, it couldn't be because she finished her second mission, right?'

Hikari Yuki didn't know Megumi Aiko's progress in her second mission.

After all, everyone's missions were different and it was their own personal mission.

Who would share it with others?

They only needed to care for the first and third mission.

But when the second mission was over… Hikari Yuki narrowed her eyes.

It was not impossible.

BOOM!

At this moment, the bomb suddenly exploded and the museum collapsed.

"Ahhh!"

*cough* *cough*

Only a few people were left inside the museum and being trapped inside, Hikari Yuki sighed deeply. She was really unlucky and got involved in a case again. 

Glancing at the side, she saw Conan was also inside but the two of them were blocked by the ruined walls. She saw him looking around before finding the unexploded bomb and quickly dismantling it.

Well, he could definitely do this.

"Officer Megumi, are you alright?" Hikari Yuki came to Megumi Aiko, who was struggling to get up.

"Um." Megumi Aiko nodded and then rubbed her dizzy forehead.

"There's another bomb over here that hasn't exploded yet. Can you defuse bombs, Officer Megumi?" Hikari Yuki continued asking.

"Huh? Another one?" Megumi Aiko, who was feeling pain on her back, was stunned and turned to look at the side. Her face turned pale and her body was trembling.

From this alone, Hikari Yuki knew that Megumi Aiko couldn't do it.

Well, she should have expected this.

'I can defuse bombs, but it'll take time and I'm not sure I can do it while avoiding Megumi Aiko's eyes…'

To be honest, Hikari Yuki was a bit speechless. 

Who would have expected that Kaito Kid's notice would end up with bombing?

And their target was also a museum…

Thinking about those things with great historical value, Hikari Yuki felt pity in her heart. But no matter what, human lives are more important.

"I'll deal with it." Megumi Aiko took out her phone and quickly called Matsuda Jinpei. She can't defuse bombs, but she knew who could.

Seeing her action, Hikari Yuki silently moved away and then walked towards the inner area. She scanned the room a few times before coming towards one of them where there was also a box there.

'This marking…'

Hikari Yuki saw the familiar marking and her eyes narrowed.

After staying in Japan for a while and receiving a few missions, she naturally came into contact with some local forces here.

One of them has this same mark.

It seemed that she would have to conduct a personal investigation if she wanted to find out more.

Swish!

She took out some tools and started to disassemble the bomb. 

No matter what, she had to solve this bomb first.
