He had to gather information about one person, so Kayama Ichiro swiftly chose the location where he had to find it and then used his ability.
First gather the information from the door.
And then gather the information from the chairs nearby. Since he's a patient, he should have passed by outside from time to time.
'It would be better if I have the chance to enter the room, but I'll need a suitable identity. With Conan following me and my subpar disguise skills, I think it's better if I don't humiliate myself.'
After sitting, Kayama Ichiro quickly browsed through the image in his mind and then determined the next target to gather information from the scattered information that he managed to find.
Hmm…
But when Kayama Ichiro opened his eyes, he saw Conan standing in front of him.
Kayama Ichiro: "..."
When is this going to be over?
"What are you doing here, Conan?"
"I'm looking for you, Kayama Nii!" Conan replied, scrutinizing Kayama Ichiro over. He didn't see everything that the other party did because Mouri Ran stopped him for a moment, but this didn't stop him from finding Kayama Ichiro's behaviour to be strange.
Kayama Ichiro sighed deeply and then he said, "There's nothing for you to see here. I'm going back now."
"Ah, but…"
No matter what Conan said, Kayama Ichiro was determined to ignore the other party. As for the fact that Conan tried to search the chair where he sat down but finding nothing… Kayama Ichiro had absolutely no idea about this matter.
He just wanted to stay as far away as possible from Conan.
…
The next day while Kayama Ichiro went to an amusement park with Mouri Ran and the others, No. 4, Megumi Aiko, was working in the police station, writing the report that she hated very much.
Seeing Inspector Megure walk in from the office door, Megumi Aiko had a bad feeling.
"Everyone, stop what you're doing!" Inspector Megure clapped his hands twice with a serious expression. "We just received a call reporting a bomb in a themed restaurant at an amusement park. The bomb disposal team has already gone to handle it.
They found a provocative note left by the perpetrator inside the bomb, leading us to deduce that there are likely other bombs in the park. To catch the perpetrator and defuse the bombs more quickly, our superiors have decided that our First Investigation Division will lead an undercover operation to the amusement park to locate other bombs and suspects who may be hiding there!"
Megumi Aiko closed her eyes.
As she had thought.
"Megumi Aiko, …."
Hearing her name being called over, Megumi Aiko mournfully walked over to the destination with a painful expression.
Why are there so many bombers around?
Can't the government regulate the distribution of these banned materials better?
But despite complaining, Megumi Aiko still went over to do her work.
Kayama Ichiro was sitting in a cafe along with Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko. Eisuke Hondo did accompany them but because he accidentally tripped and bathed himself in coffee just half an hour ago, he decided to come back early.
The other three felt sorry for him, but they still wanted to play for a while longer.
As for Conan…
'I should be glad that there's no Conan here.' Kayama Ichiro was genuinely relieved that he didn't have to face Conan all the time. Because he felt that he's about to go crazy if he had to be followed by that brat all the time.
And by sheer luck, the target that he wanted to investigate did come to the park, so Kayama Ichiro bumped onto the other party in order to use his ability and checked his movements trajectory and possibly other information.
So it was not for naught.
"Today has been quite fun." Sonoko was feeling happy for their trip today.
"Indeed." Mouri Ran nodded.
She was sipping her coffee when she suddenly heard a strange sound.
Tick-tock, like a clock ticking.
But there were no clocks near the seats. In order to fit the theme of the amusement park, all the clocks in the restaurant were crooked candy art pieces.
A sudden inspiration struck Ran, and she looked down at the table, noticing a black bag against the wall.
Her first thought was that it might be a bag left behind by the previous customer, but when she considered calling a waiter to take it to the lost and found, it suddenly seemed odd.
The bag looked like the kind of bag that students in the sports club would carry for club activities. When going to an amusement park, most people would choose to dress casually and bring as few belongings as possible.
Such a large bag in an amusement park is really out of place.
"Ran, what are you looking at?" Sonoko Suzuki, oblivious to Ran's presence, was digging into the beautiful strawberry cream cake in front of her with her silver fork.
Ran didn't answer immediately. She reached out and gently dragged the bag from the middle to her seat, carefully turning her body to the side, trying to listen to see if the sound was coming from inside.
Seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki leaned down in confusion, then sat up straight after seeing the bag at Ran's feet, tilting her head: "What a big bag! Did the previous customer leave this?"
After confirming that the "clicking" sound was indeed coming from the large bag in front of her, Ran took a deep breath and decisively reached out and unzipped it.
Kayama Ichiro looked at Mouri Ran's behaviour and his mind sounding an alarm.
It couldn't be…
As the zipper was opened, the content was revealed: A large timer with numbers ticking slowly and orderly with a note attached to it.
"Please accept this. This is one of my congratulatory gift for the Suzuki Group."
Mouri Ran looked bewildered, but she gently zipped the zipper again and then said, ""Sonoko, go call the police! There's a bomb here!"
Seeing Sonoko's eyes widen suddenly, Ran continued, "We don't know if the person who planted the bomb is still in the restaurant. If we both leave suddenly, we might alert them. Go call the police. I'll wait for you here."
"But Ran, you!" Sonoko Suzuki hadn't finished speaking when Ran Mouri's determined gaze calmed her down.
"Go quickly, I'll wait for you."
Kayama Ichiro looked at the two girls who were giving each other a deep and loving look. He had to say that the atmosphere was really good and touching, but can't they remember that there's still the third person here?
"I'm still here and I can wait with her," Kayama Ichiro said lazily. "Besides, I think that with the note stating that it's just one of the gifts… perhaps the police officers have already arrived somewhere and are making their moves?"
With Kayama Ichiro's words, Suzuki Sonoko nodded determinedly and then ran out.
Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief while looking at the bomb in front of her with a complicated look. What should she do with this?
"Give it to me," Kayama Ichiro said as he silently activated his ability to check the bomber's profile. Even though he had already used his ability, he still had enough time left to check some things.
'It seems that I was right not to use up my ability all the time. But really, when it's really needed, only having 24 hours is really inconvenient.' Kayama Ichiro frowned as he looked at the information that he obtained.
"What is it, Kayama Kun?" Mouri Ran looked even more nervous.
"It's nothing," Kayama Ichiro said and he calmly opened their brain chat.
…
[High School Student [2]: No. 4, can you come to the new amusement park something quickly? I'm with Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko and we just found a bomb.
University Student [6]: Pfft, your luck is really something, no. 4
Doctor [9]: Why do you even want to go with them?
Artist [11]: pfft. Shouldn't you know better than anyone that going with Mouri Ran and the others meant that there will be cases?
Journalist [12]: + 1
Megumi Aiko [4]: What?! There's a new case report to the police station and I'm already at the park. Give me your coordinate directly and I'll bring Matsuda Jinpei over since I'm currently staying with him.
High School Student [2]: Huh? What are you doing in the amusement park with Matsuda Jinpei?
University Student [6]: Oh ho, are you going on a date? (wink wink. jpg)
Doctor [9]: What? A date? No. 7, where are you?
Artist [11]: Damn it! Why do I have to have a filming today? I really want to take a look at you!
Journalist [12]: Ahhh, I'm coming over!
Megumi Aiko [4]: …It's not a date! It's an undercover operation to find the bomb where every police officer from the First Investigation Division would be paired with someone from the bomb disposal team in order to handle the bomb. My partner is Matsuda Jinpei in this operation, so it's not a date!
Public Security Officer [5]: *ahem* Can we go back to the main topic?
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: I'm sorry, Honey, I really can't go on a date openly with you.
High School Student [2]: Tsk, so it's not a date. I was getting excited for nothing. Anyway, the perpetrator is a middle aged man with a scary appearance. Uh, I'm not good at describing with words but he's around 170 cm in height, not too tall for a guy, no glasses, black hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a suit in the amusement park… the last one should be an obvious feature, right?
…
Kayama Ichiro saw that the chat was quiet and he was confused.
Hello?
