I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 83 What? TV Tokyo isn't airing anime anymore?

Police cars from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sped past the Mouri Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri, who was having a few drinks, turned his head in confusion to look at the police car speeding past, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes—what's going on so late?
Why are so many police cars being deployed at once? Is Phantom Thief Kid out again or what?
Kogoro Mouri turned around and called out to Ran Mouri.

"Ran, turn on the TV for me and see if Phantom Thief Kid has something going on today."

Why are there so many police cars on the road today?

Ran Mouri, who was washing the pots and pans for the late-night snack, responded.

She dried her hands with a towel before pressing the remote control.

Surprisingly, TV Tokyo, which was originally on, was not broadcasting any anime.

Instead, it's broadcasting live updates on the case!

"Oh no, Dad! Look, something terrible has happened!"

"TV Tokyo isn't airing any anime!"

"Ran Mouri exclaimed."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, still holding a beer can in one hand, suddenly turned his head to look at the television.

What? TV Tokyo isn't airing anime anymore?

That's really serious.

As is well known, TV Tokyo never switches to news from other TV stations; it only broadcasts anime.

The fact that TV Tokyo has stopped broadcasting anime shows that this matter is indeed very serious.

"what? What?"

Conan, who was about to go to bed, slid downstairs and came to the side of the meeting room.

He looked up at the television and saw the host introducing the situation.

"At 11:45 PM, Teiji Moriya, a famous architect in Beika Town, announced his criminal plan to bomb the Beika Municipal Building to Inspector Megure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!"

"He claimed that all the explosives stolen from the previous explosives depot were stolen by him, and that he had manufactured them all into plastic explosives!"

"All of these actions stemmed from Teiji Moriya's desire for revenge against Shinichi Kudo, who reported Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City for murder and imprisoned him!"

"Everyone, the situation is extremely critical. Let's continue to follow up on the reports!"

I was just wondering what could be so urgent.

Upon hearing that he was involved, Conan was completely stunned.

Mayor Okamoto of Nishitama City?

Yes, it seems there was someone he sent to jail.

But what does this have to do with Teiji Moriya? He's never even met Teiji Moriya, and Teiji Moriya is already going this far, trying to take his life? Are you kidding me?

The helicopter used for the live television broadcast is continuing its journey toward the warehouse that Teiji Moriya mentioned.

It seemed as if to confirm that what he had said in the previous emergency call was true.

A sudden burst of light and flame erupted from the deserted area near the warehouse, startling the presenter and cameraman aboard the live television helicopter.

If they had previously thought it might just be a false alarm.

This explosion definitively proves that the person who passed on the crucial information to them was right; Moriya Teiji really was the bomb thief, and he was going to blow up the Beika City Hall!
Conan frowned more and more as he looked at the scene before him.

Weird, really weird.

If Moriya Teiji really stole so much explosives and even devised a plan to blow up the Beika City Hall because he wanted revenge, then why did he tell the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department about it?
Why use explosives in an uninhabited area near the warehouse to prove that what you said is true?

"Could it be..."

Conan suddenly thought of a bizarre possibility.

If it weren't Teiji Moriya who declared war on the police, but someone else using Teiji Moriya's voice...

That seems to make sense now!

"Eh, is Teiji Moriya actually going to take revenge on Shinichi?!" Ran Mouri covered her mouth in surprise.

She quickly pulled out the invitation to the Moriya tea party on the afternoon of May 3rd from her bag.

I saw the invitation in Ran Mouri's hand.

Conan's eyes widened even more.

Because it's clearly stated on the invitation.

—Teiji Moriya invited him to a tea party at Moriya Villa on the afternoon of May 3rd!

No, this invitation was sent to me, why is it with you...?

Conan had just thought of this when he suddenly realized something.

Oh, right, Ran goes to the Kudo residence to clean from time to time. She probably glanced at the mailbox at that time and then put it away. Honestly... she didn't even tell him beforehand...

But why May 3rd? Is May 3rd some special date?

Just as Conan was thinking this...

Ran Mouri continued,

"May 4th is Shinichi's birthday."

"I was planning to invite Shinichi to a tea party on the 3rd, and then go to Cinema No. 1 below the Beika City Hall to watch a movie with Shinichi that night. I never expected Mr. Moriya to do something so cruel..."

Hmm? Going to Cinema No. 1 at the Beika Municipal Building on the evening of May 3rd?

Could it be that Teiji Moriya is planning to confirm on the afternoon of May 3rd whether I'm going to the Beika City Hall to see a movie, and then find an opportunity to blow me and the Beika City Hall up together?!
Conan was startled when he realized this.

Damn it, this is no ordinary criminal; we must strike hard!

Kogoro Mouri also put his beer aside and sat down with a serious expression.

He was a former detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Although he has now resigned, his heart is still with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Now that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has to deal with such a serious situation, how could he not pay attention to it?
"I'm not sleeping tonight, the big one is coming!"

"I can't believe it," Kogoro Mouri said nervously.

Anyway, I'll be catching up on sleep tomorrow morning, so what's the big deal?
------

"No, is there really a bomb?"

Inspector Megure rubbed his eyes, utterly shocked.

Not far away, the police officers dispatched by the Tokyo Regional Public Security Headquarters of Japan were also taken aback.

Kazami Yuya estimated the explosive yield of the bomb that had just exploded.

He then recalled the yield of the stolen bomb.

Then, he was shocked.

That's less than one-twentieth!
"what happened?"

The Japanese Public Security Police Inspector who was recently parachuted in came to Kazami Yuya's side.

He observed the appearance of the warehouse.

However, after his appearance, the attention of many members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau focused on this police inspector.

Kazami Yuya asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"Inspector, why are you dressed as a food delivery worker?"

"You went to work again?"

Jiangu Ling:?

You cold-hearted person, what did I do to you by working for you? Did I take your wages?

This is also to gather enough intelligence!
Other police inspectors who want to work here don't even have this opportunity!
