Then, Matsumoto Kiyonaga led Inspector Megure, Shiratori Ninzaburo, Sato Miwako, Takagi Wataru, and others away quickly.
Odagiri Toshiro didn't stop, continuing to issue orders: "Chaki, you immediately lead all the officers of the Second Investigation Division to TR Beika Station in plainclothes."
"Remember to keep the tram running. Do not let the tram suddenly slow down or stop at the station, because we do not know the exact location of the bomb or the type of bomb. If we suddenly slow down or stop the tram at the station, we may trigger the bomb."
Chaki Shintaro was taken aback by this, as he hadn't expected it. After being reminded, he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately replied loudly, "Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Chaki Shintaro led Nakamori Ginzo and the others away.
But Toshiro Odagiri's orders continued.
This day is destined to be recorded in the history of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
On this day, not only the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was mobilized, but also the First Investigation Division, the Second Investigation Division, the Third Investigation Division, the Traffic Division, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Security Division, and so on.
Even the local police station nearby dispatched all its officers as reinforcements.
A storm is coming!

With all the police officers mobilized, Chen Anxia finally found the bomb hidden in Mihua Square.
The bomb was placed in a pink portable cat house by Mori, who also put a real cat inside as a disguise.
When Toshiro Odagiri, who was stationed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, saw the portable cat shelter that had been planted with a bomb, he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
This time, the bomb carrier was so deceptive that if a pedestrian picked it up, it would be impossible to know where it would be transported.
By then, the location and damage of the bomb explosions would be uncontrollable.
Imagine if a bomb were smuggled onto a moving bus or train. What would happen if it exploded?
Fortunately, Chen Anxia found the bomb.
Just as Chen Anxia had planned, after finding the bomb, Chen Anxia went directly to the wasteland prepared by the police.
At this point, there was less than a minute left before the bomb was detonated.
For Chen Anxia, this less than one minute was enough.
Tick tock...tick tock...
drop!!!!
Finally, the bomb exploded.
A small mushroom cloud, accompanied by a fierce storm, raged across the wasteland, slicing across Chen Anxia's cheek like a knife, leaving a wound that flowed with bright red blood.
After escaping the blast radius, Chen Anxia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only Chen Anxia, but also Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo, who were in the yellow Volkswagen Beetle parked by the roadside, breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Chen Anxia could even take a break, Mori Tsuji's third phone call arrived.
Seeing the third call without caller ID, Chen Anxia answered without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Moriko Teiji's disguised voice rang out, "I must say, you did a really good job, you actually managed to find the bomb I hid in Beika Plaza."
"However, will you be able to find the bombs I've hidden next?"
With that, Teiji Moriko chuckled and continued, "Listen carefully, I'll only say this once: I've planted five bombs on the Tokyo Loop Line."
"The bombs will start exploding after 4 p.m. today, as long as the trains traveling on them are not traveling at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour."
"In addition, the bomb will explode if you don't dismantle it before sunset."
“This time, I’ll give you a hint. I’ve planted those five bombs at point X on the Tokyo Loop Line, where each X represents a word.”
"Alright, let me see your reasoning skills, high school detective... Shinichi Kudo!"
After saying that, Moriko Teiji hung up the phone.
After Moriko Teiji hung up the phone, Chen Anxia's brows furrowed slightly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia dialed Toshiro Odagiri's number directly.
This phone call was from Inspector Megure to Chen Anxia, instructing him to contact Toshiro Odagiri if anything happened, and stating directly that Odagiri was the commander-in-chief of this operation.
The call was answered very quickly.
Chen Anxia didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point, telling Odagiri Toshiro what had just happened on the phone.
After listening to Chen Anxia's account of the phone call, Odagiri Toshiro immediately frowned, his heart becoming incredibly heavy.
But at the same time, Toshiro Odagiri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Based on what Teiji Moriko said, the bomb installed on the Tokyo Loop Line this time was undoubtedly a bomb with a special detonation device.
The Tokyo Loop Line is a route within the Mihana Station area of the TR line and passes under the Sumida Canal Bridge.
Because of Chen Anxia's earlier warning, the police search at TR Miwa Station did not interfere with train operations; otherwise, it could have caused irreparable consequences.
At the same time, this once again verified Chen Anxia's reasoning, leaving Odagiri Toshiro speechless.
Thinking it over, Toshiro Odagiri asked, "For convenience, I'll call you Kudo."
"Kudo, do you have any clue about the clues Moriko Teiji gave you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia gently shook her head and replied, "Not yet. Has your police begun the search and investigation at TR Mihua Station?"
Odagiri Toshiro replied, "It has already begun, but there haven't been any results yet."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia nodded slightly and said, "I'm also heading to the Tokyo Railway Dispatch Center. Please have someone there inform me not to stop me."
Odagiri Toshiro readily agreed to the request, replying, "No problem, I'll contact Chaki, who's in charge over there, right away."
As he spoke, Toshiro Odagiri paused slightly, then continued in a deep voice, "Although there are still 2 hours and 3 minutes until 4 o'clock, we don't know what might happen in the meantime."
"So if you have any thoughts on that hint, please tell Chaki, who is leading the team over there, immediately."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia nodded and replied, "I understand."
Meanwhile, Conan also arrived at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
To be honest, this was the first time Conan had ever seen the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department so empty and devoid of any human presence.
At this point, Conan was unaware of Chen Anxia's specific plan, nor did he know where the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers had gone.
But Conan knew that the reason why the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was so empty was probably related to Chen Anxia.
Upon realizing this, Conan's heart trembled, and he muttered, "What on earth did Anxia do to be able to mobilize the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..."
At the same time Conan arrives at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Chen Anxia is speeding towards the Tokyo Railway Control Center in Professor Agasa's Volkswagen Beetle.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive. Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo had also learned about the contents of the phone call and were racking their brains to figure out the hint given by Teiji Moriko.
If even Chen Anxia couldn't figure out the clues, then Dr. Agasa and Yukiko Kudo would be even less able to.
Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Railway Dispatch Center, Chaki Shintaro, the supervising officer of the Second Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who was in charge of directing operations, received a call from Odagiri Toshiro.
Upon learning what Teiji Moriko had said, Shintaro Chaki couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "What?! There are five bombs on the Tokyo Loop Line?!"
These words immediately caused an uproar at the Tokyo Railway Dispatch Center.
Originally, Chaki Shintaro was only conducting a search and investigation under the pretext that there might be a bomb planted.
Therefore, the staff at the Tokyo Railway Dispatch Center also harbored a sense of complacency, believing that there might not be a bomb.
Upon hearing that there were confirmed bombs, and even five bombs, the staff immediately became terrified and panicked.
On the other side, the Mihana City Hall.
Panic and suspicion spread among the evacuated crowds as police evacuation, search and investigation efforts were underway.
Rumors spread like wildfire, and people were filled with anxiety.

Rice flower town.
Ran Mouri, who was shopping with Sonoko Suzuki and picking out a gift for Shinichi Kudo, saw a news broadcast suddenly interrupting the television when they passed an electronics store.
According to the latest news from frontline reporters, a large number of police officers have been deployed to the Beika City Hall, evacuating people from the hall and setting up a cordon to prevent anyone from approaching...
"The specifics are currently unknown, but according to those present, it appears there is a significant safety hazard within the Beika City Hall..."
Our reporters will continue to follow up on this incident...
The news broadcast also included footage of the Mihana City Hall.
Sonoko Suzuki noticed the news at that moment and couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh? Beika City Hall? Isn't that where Ran and Shinichi went on their date?"
Ran Mouri's eyes remained fixed on the television. Upon hearing this, she simply nodded slightly, her expression showing some concern as she replied, "Well, I wonder what happened at the Beika City Hall. I hope things will be resolved by tonight."
Sonoko Suzuki's face also showed a serious expression. It was not optimistic for Ran Mouri. She replied, "According to the news, a large number of police officers have been stationed at the Beika City Hall."
"Clearly, this incident is quite troublesome, and it will probably be difficult to get in tonight."
As she spoke, Sonoko Suzuki looked at Ran Mouri and said, "Ran, I think you should call Shinichi and tell him to change the location of the date."
"Anyway, movie theaters aren't only found inside the Mikata City Hall."
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri felt that Sonoko Suzuki's words made sense, but she did not put them into action. She said with some sorrow, "I don't have Shinichi's contact information."
After hearing Ran Mouri's words, Sonoko Suzuki asked, somewhat confused, "Ran, have you lost your memory? Isn't Shinichi's phone number XXXXXXX?"
Ran Mouri gently shook her head and replied, "Shinichi no longer uses this number. He said he couldn't use his phone because he was investigating some important case, so he temporarily suspended the number."
"So how do you usually keep in touch?" Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but ask.
“Shinichi always contacted me first; he probably called me from a roadside phone booth,” Ran Mouri replied.
As she spoke, Ran Mouri's mood soared, her eyes filled with an overwhelming sorrow. She murmured, "We finally had this opportunity, finally got to see Shinichi again, and then this happened..."
Seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki felt extremely sorry for Ran Mouri, her best friend, and in her heart, she had already given Shinichi Kudo, the culprit, a good beating more than once.
Without hesitation, Sonoko Suzuki stepped forward and gently hugged Ran Mouri, comforting her softly, "Don't worry, I believe Shinichi will definitely see this news too."
"He will definitely contact you when the time comes."
