Conan’s Toast Does Not Eat Fine Wine

Chapter 135: Detective and broker

   Before sunset, the police successfully dismantled five bombs installed between the circular track.

   "Thanks to Kudo this time." Officer Mumu had just returned from the Dongdu Ring Road, with sweat still hanging on his forehead. "There is only less than half an hour left until the sun sets. It's really thrilling."

   "But we can't relax yet." Shiratori Rensaburo still held the police manual, "because there are still nearly three-quarters of the bombs that have not been found."

   Mori Kogoro's expression immediately became serious: "The prisoner holds so many bombs in his hand, it is really a headache..."

   "We must find these bombs before he harms the people! By the way, how is the result of Okamoto Kohei's investigation?" Officer Megure asked.

   Shiratori Rensaburo immediately replied: "We have grasped his movements. What is certain is that Okamoto Kohei left Tokyo for Izu this morning. He has no time to commit the crime."

   "That..." Conan wanted to ask the police officer something very much, but seeing Xinfan's presence, he couldn't help but aroused the troubles of the tool man, "Mr. Asano, don't you want to..."

   Shinshige knew what he was thinking, so he asked directly, "Officer Megome, is there any pattern for the bomb installation site on the Tototo Loop?"

"Um?"

"According to the prisoner’s way of thinking, there should be a certain meaning in his installation of the bomb. We may not be able to understand his thoughts, but from the clues of the installation method or location, we can always find some rules and infer him from this. Choose the next crime location."

"Um..." Officer Meguro thought for a while, and finally Shiratori Rensaburo gave the result. "The other four bombs were installed near residential areas, and there was nothing special. But one bomb was installed on the Sumida Canal by the prisoner. On the bridge."

   "Sumida Canal Bridge." Conan recalled the exhibition he saw at the tea party last time. "Isn't that the work that Moriya Teji won the Newcomer Award?"

   Shiratori Renzaburo nodded and said, "Yes, it's strange to say that the buildings burned in the previous consecutive arson incidents were also the early works of Mr. Moriya Teji."

"Why didn't I hear you talk about this?" Officer Megumi complained depressedly, "If both were the buildings designed by Teji Moriya, then the arsonist and the bomber this time may be the same person, and he might be the same. Emperor Morigu has a grudge."

   "Sorry." Shiratori Rensaburo bowed, "Because it was only found out today, so I haven't had time to report to you."

   "Well, now that it's confirmed," Officer Megome high-five, "Then let's go to Moriya Teji's house and ask now!"

"Yes!"

   Shinshige and Conan accepted the invitation of Moriya Teji last time, so they also followed the police to Morigu's house to inquire about the situation.

   Moriya Teji received them very warmly.

   "You're right." Moritani lit a cigarette with a match, and leaning on the sofa looked a little headache. "These things are indeed ridiculously coincidental."

   Seeing that the adults started the greetings and inquiries in the program, Conan looked around a bit boredly.

   After all, he doesn't trust Moritani very much now. In addition to these things may be caused by Moritani's enemies, the possibility of his own crime cannot be ruled out.

   "Kudo." Xinfan whispered Conan's name, "Did you find a good excuse to refuse Miss Maori's date?"

Conan froze, put down the photo of Moriya Teji in his hand, and looked back: "Oops, I forgot about it..." He hurriedly glanced at the time, and suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. "It's nine o'clock. It's the clock..."

   "Where did you meet?" Xinfan asked suddenly.

  Although he specifically reminded not to choose the location near the building designed by Teiji Moriya, but according to Conan's attitude at the time, it is probably just a perfunctory.

   Conan thought about it for a while and then said: "At the time, you told me not to choose Moritani...Wait, did you know there was something wrong with Moritani? He was going to blow up the city hall, right?!"

   Shinfan raised his eyebrows, and had an unpleasant premonition: "Did you make an appointment at the city hall?"

   "That's not true." Conan said with a sigh of relief, "It's just that at first Xiao Lan ordered me to be the city hall. Fortunately, I remember what you told me to threaten Xiao Lan to change places."

   Xinfan didn't speak, but just nodded. But his inherent impression of Kudo Shinichi has slightly changed.

   This kid even dared to threaten Mao Lilan, is he not afraid of being greeted by Mao Lilan in karate?

   "You haven't answered my question yet." Conan said solemnly, "Did you know that Moritani had a problem so long?"

"That’s not true. It’s just that he suddenly invited Kudo Shinichi to the tea party, and he said that he would like to ask for advice. It’s really hard to doubt~www.readwn.com~ My suggestion at the time was just in case, if Of course it’s good that he didn’t plan to do anything to Kudo Shinichi. If he is unruly, at least we have taken precautions.”

   Hearing Xinfan's words, Conan couldn't help but admire him sincerely: "You really taught me a lot. I have never considered these things before."

   Xinfan laughed: "After all, you and Mr. Mori are both detectives, and I am a broker. The job of a detective is to help the police and clients solve problems, and the job of a broker is to ensure the safety and rights of the detective."

   "Hey, that would really trouble you, Mr. Asano."

   Shinshige's gaze fell on the photo in Conan's hands: "What happened to this photo?"

   "Hmm..." Conan returned the photo to its original position, "I just think this place is beautiful, should it be London?"

   "You have a lot of eyesight, kid." Moritani noticed their movements and looked over, "That's a photo of me when I was ten years old, and the background is in London."

"Speaking of which, Professor Moriya's father was also a master active in the British architecture industry. I admire his design style very much." Shiratori Rensaburo missed it. "It's just that I heard that he was caused by a fire fifteen years ago. Passed away. After that, Professor Moritani's design began to emerge."

   Hearing that Moritani's expression was a little unnatural: "Yeah, yes."

   Such an anomaly made Conan look at him more, but besides that, he couldn't see anything else.

   Speaking of it, the buildings that were burnt down and the bridges that were almost blown up seemed to be the works of Moriya Teji's early days. What is the connection between this incident and the bomb case?

   "Kudo." Xinfan lowered his head and said, "Would you like to take a look at the exhibition hall? Maybe you will find something."
