Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 72 68. Moritani Tongwei: Fuck God!
"Let Kudo Shinichi come see me!"

"I want to see Kudo Shinichi!"

No matter how Inspector Megure tried to persuade him, even Inspector Megure's boss and the negotiation experts from the Metropolitan Police Department came to negotiate, it was of no use.

Moriya Teiji only had one thing to say - he wanted to see Kudo Shinichi.

Of course, it's not just this sentence. Teiji Moriya will detonate a bomb in the Beika Municipal Building every once in a while.

After media reports, all of Tokyo knew that a professor at Touto University had gone crazy - he had kidnapped a municipal building hostage just to see Kudo Shinichi.

But what about Kudo Shinichi?
Kiyonaga Matsumoto is the management officer of the Criminal Department's Investigation Division 1. When Inspector Megure reported the situation at the scene, Kiyonaga Matsumoto rushed to the scene to take command.

However, the situation inside the Moriya Manor is unclear, the amount of munitions possessed by Moriya Teiji is unknown, and the location where the bomb is installed is unknown.

These alone are not difficult. If Emperor Moriya didn't have any hostages, the entire Moriya Manor would be destroyed in a few shots. But this guy held a hostage of the municipal building, which made Matsumoto Kiyonaga very cautious.

"Moritani Teiji, the Kudo Shinichi you're looking for can't be contacted at all right now! He's not even in Tokyo, where can I find him for you?!"

After learning about Teiji Moriya's request, Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked someone to call Kudo's house, but it was Dr. Agasa who answered the phone. Dr. Agasa said that Kudo Shinichi was not in the island country at all and he did not have Kudo Shinichi's current contact information.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga also contacted the 3rd series and learned that the "declaration of war" that Moriya Teiji initially issued to Kudo Shinichi was resolved by a child named Edogawa Conan.

The two bombs in Tsutsugawa Park and Beihua Station Square were found by that kid. Kudo Shinichi never showed up from beginning to end.

This made Matsumoto Kiyonaga's original plan come to nothing. He wondered if he could let Kudo Shinichi and Moriya Teiji have a remote conversation to see if there could be any progress.

It’s a pity that Moriya Teiji insisted on looking for someone they couldn’t find.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga did not have much doubt about the statement that Kudo Shinichi was not in the island country.

What kind of personality did Kudo Shinichi have in the past? He was a person who would not feel comfortable if he was not on the headlines. He would be on the headlines every now and then, and the media would use him to specifically criticize the police.

How long has it been since Kudo Shinichi appeared in the newspaper?

At this moment, Matsumoto Kiyonaga could only tell Moriya Teiji the truth, hoping that Moriya Teiji would change the conditions.

"Not in Tokyo?! Haha, you liar!!!" Moriya Teiji slammed the table and stood up when he heard what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said:

"Kudo Shinichi just solved a murder case a few days ago, right under your noses, and now you're telling me he's not in Tokyo?!

You cops are all in cahoots with that high school student!"

Moritani Teiji's purpose of meeting Kudo Shinichi was very simple, he just wanted to take Kudo Shinichi away.

But now this goal can no longer be achieved. In the eyes of Teiji Moritani, Kudo Shinichi is a complete fame-seeker who is afraid of death.

What's the point of reasoning for the truth? This guy doesn't even have the spirit to devote himself to the truth.

Moriya Teiji felt the anger burning in his chest. He wanted to say something:
"Kudo Shinichi, the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era! He is nothing but a coward who is afraid of death!

Remember, all those people who died in the Rice Flower Municipal Building today were because of you! They died because of you—you coward! "

As expected of a highly educated person, even when he cursed Moriya Teiji, he was polite. Although his curse was not painful, he did something that was heartbreaking. Inside the mansion, Moriya Teiji pressed the detonator. The remaining bombs in the Beika Municipal Building exploded one by one.

The entire building slowly collapsed with a roar, and the people around the building were either stunned or dumbfounded.

All in all, the collapse of the Mika Municipal Building seems to have ushered in a new era in the Mika criminal world.

Mao Lilan, who was holding a paper bag in the crowd, felt a sudden tug of her heart. Mao Lilan, who had escaped the disaster, did not secretly celebrate her survival. At this moment, she was just worried about whether Kudo Shinichi would come to the Beika Municipal Building in advance.

"Moritani Teiji, don't make any more mistakes. Come out and face your judgment. Are you ready to die in obscurity like this?!"

From the beginning to the end, Moriya Teiji used bombs to "fight back" alone. This behavior made Matsumoto Kiyonaga realize one thing - this Moriya Teiji might really be a lone wolf.

Since he was a lone wolf, the question was, how could he carry so many things from the armory by himself?
Even if these things were pulled by trucks, they would be enough to form a convoy.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately realized that Moriya Teiji was just a scapegoat who was driven crazy by the blame.

When the news of the bombing of the Beika Municipal Building reached Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the administrator's eyes turned red.

Is Teiji Moriya the culprit in this incident? He is, but there are others who deserve to be punished as well.

But if we want to investigate those people, Moriya Teiji is indispensable. He must at least be alive to tell us how much arms he took. And how much of the stolen arms data released by the arsenal was stolen by him.

If you want to investigate further, you must at least have reasons, clues and basis. You can't just use the "I think about it" method to solve the case.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga hoped to successfully arrest Moritani Teiji, so he said that.

But Matsumoto Kiyonaga's so-called trial was simply a joke to Moriya Teiji: "Trial?
No one in this world can judge me, fuck your God!"

Along with the orange-red flames, the Moriya Manor was reduced to ruins, and Moriya Teiji in the mansion was no better than Tequila.

Lin Longma, who was holding a telescope in the distance, saw Moriya Manor turned into a sea of fire and called Akita:
"Alright Akita, it's time to send the audit team on their way."

"clear."

The moment after Moriya Teiji pressed the detonator, the headquarters of the task force responsible for investigating and auditing the arsenal incident was lit up with the same orange-red flames as Moriya Teiji's manor.

Of course it’s the same type, after all, their explosives all come from the same place.

A large number of original accounts, documents, and paper records in the arsenal were burned. Even if the task force were to restart the investigation now, it is likely that they would not be able to find out anything.

"Kaneda, take note of this." Lin Longma handed the telescope to Shiraishi and said to Kaneda:

"It has been confirmed that Kudo Shinichi cannot control his growth or shrinkage freely. The last time he turned back into Kudo Shinichi was probably due to some special factors.

The specific cause remains to be investigated.

In addition, Akita Kuranosuke completed his undercover mission perfectly and is planned to be recalled to the base for another appointment.

All information about the Japanese arsenal within the Isshin Society must be sealed. No one may retrieve it unless I personally authorize it."
