Hikari Yuki worked fast.
After she was done, she checked other rooms and only came back after confirming that there were no other bombs placed.
She saw Conan, messy and dirty from dust, standing there.
"Conan?"
"Sister Yuki, are you alright?" Conan looked worried.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Hikari Yuki crouched in front of Conan and rubbed the boy's head. "Did you see Officer Megumi?"
"Yes, she had finished dealing with the bomb. Is there anyone else here, Sister Yuki?" Conan asked solemnly.
Just now, he saw the bomb that had been cleanly defused with the timer less than one minute away. It was definitely not Megumi Aiko because she was still trembling until the last few seconds while following Matsuda Jinpei's instruction.
Seeing her so afraid like that, Conan couldn't bear to tell her that this might not be the last bomb.
Thankfully, no explosion occurred when the timing should have fallen to zero.
"I don't know," Hikari Yuki lied without changing her expression.
"Sister Yuki?"
"There's a door on the back and we can get out from there."
"I'll call Sister Aiko!"
The three of them came out of the back door and met with the other police officers. Megumi Aiko looked like she was about to cry and when Matsuda Jinpei came, he made her so angry that the two of them almost fought on the spot.
Seeing the worry in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes, Hikari Yuki chuckled to herself.
It seemed to be pretty good.
She quickly sneak away after taking the statement while the police officers cleaned up the mess. When Conan wanted to find Hikari Yuki again, she had long disappeared.
"Conan, where have you been?" Mouri Ran looked at Conan with reproach.
"I was here, Ran Neechan." Conan looked nervous as he looked around. "Did you see Yuki Neechan?"
"She should have gone back," Mouri Ran said. "The police officers have taken her statement not long ago."
"She's gone back so quickly?" Conan was confused.
He still wanted to confirm whether there were anyone else in that place aside from them. Because the techniques used to defuse the bomb were really good and methodical.
It was as if… There was a bomb disposal police over there.
But since Hikari Yuki was not there, Conan couldn't force it and could only nod at Mouri Ran and planned to ask her later.
'Who is it?'
…
At this time, Hikari Yuki was meeting with Kazuki Karin, her contact.
"Why did you suddenly ask for a meeting?" Karin asked helplessly while she was drinking coffee in a coffee shop.
Hikari Yuki was behind her instead of in front of her. And she had noticed that Hikari Yuki should have changed her clothes quickly.
"Someone is targeting Aiko."
"Oh?" Karin's eyes narrowed dangerously when she heard that.
Even though Megumi Aiko had forgotten about them, she could still remember their past very well and there was no way she could let Megumi Aiko be in danger.
"It should be related to XXX gang. I want you to check it out and if possible, send their members to the police station," Hikari Yuki said in a solemn tone.
"Do I need to check them all?"
"Yes, see if they have contacted others."
"Sure." Karin stretched her hand and then left without hesitation.
Hikari Yuki couldn't possibly participate in the active investigation of this case, so she lowered her head and finished the coffee before leaving at a different time from Kazuki Karin. She really hoped that nothing bad would happen.
In less than a week's time, the entire gang has been rounded off and it was dropped in front of the police station.
There was also a recording of their confession of their attempt to kill Megumi Aiko.
The reason?
Someone commissioned it to them in the dark web and the price was significant, so they were tempted.
But they were really angry.
No one told them that Megumi Aiko's strength was so strong like this.
Megumi Aiko listened to the gang member's confession with a complicated expression.
Who would have thought that someone would want to kill her so much that they even paid a high price on the dark web?
The damage in the museum was completely covered by the insurance that the Suzuki Family bought, so Megumi Aiko didn't have to pay anything.
For this matter, she was glad.
At least, she would not fall to the point of having to be in huge debt.
Fssh!
"It's cold!" Megumi Aiko moved to the side and looked over with indignation. She saw Matsuda Jinpei standing there with a canned bottle of drink in his hand. "Matsuda Jinpei!"
"Don't look so down." Matsuda Jinpei snorted and put the canned drink on Megumi Aiko's hand. "Drink something and then get back to work."
"I don't want to go back to work." Megumi Aiko frowned, but she still took the drink from Matsuda Jinpei.
"Then, let's go out for a short trip?"
"Ah?"
"It's not my shift time anyway," Matsuda Jinpei said carelessly, not caring too much about it. The staff on the bomb disposal squad had a relatively different schedule and usually worked based on their shift.
He had already finished his shift and heard about the continuation of the case.
"But…" Megumi Aiko frowned but Matsuda Jinpei had already grabbed her wrist and then pulled her away.
"Let's go and see the mountains!"
"Ah, wait, Matsuda Jinpei!"
Being pulled along and then driven away, Megumi Aiko watched the scenery around them with bewilderment.
Feeling the wind slapping across her cheek as they sped up, Megumi Aiko was speechless.
Who taught Matsuda Jinpei to drive?
It was definitely his childhood friend!
This was too fast, ahh….
But after a moment of fear, Megumi Aiko felt that the rapidly changing scenery around her didn't look that terrifying anymore. The motorcycle was indeed moving quickly, but Matsuda Jinpei's driving was really stable.
Megumi Aiko looked at the man's back and sighed as she leaned forward.
It felt comforting.
"Thank you, Jinpei."
"If you want to thank me, wait until the entire journey is over." Matsuda Jinpei had a grin on his face. "This is only the beginning."
Megumi Aiko couldn't help but laugh and say, "Yeah!"
