Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"But... it's not good to have other people around when you're dating. Even if you have friends, they'll say 'come on, at least get a first kiss or something' and push you along. Right?"

Winnett cleverly resolved Xiaoai's suspicious look.

"Date..."

Xiao Ai raised her hands in surrender.

"The two of us standing together doesn't look like a date."

She let out a long breath, and the swirling mist floated away.

Although it is set in May, it seems that the warming trend has not yet arrived.

"It doesn't matter! In my eyes, you were just like frosted glass in winter. It doesn't make any difference now that you've become a child."

Miss Winnet immediately felt the pain above her ankle.

"Oh, really? Sorry, I'm not attractive at all!"

"Woo!"

What a strange place to be angry!

After taking two quick steps forward, Xiao Ai suddenly remembered——

"I remember that the girl made an appointment with Edogawa at the Beika Municipal Building. It seemed to be at ten o'clock tonight?"

The thought of being disappointed in one's friend began to creep into Xiaoai's heart.

In her mind, Kudo Shinichi has become a guinea pig and has risen to the level of a follower.

"Ran, right? Indeed, I just received a text message from Sonoko, asking if I want to go shopping together before their date starts."

"Then just go with them. There's no need to worry about me."

Xiao Ai thought, one is a detective obsessed idiot, and the other is not Winnet's type at all.

She still remembered that Winnet would talk in her sleep about the nun who raised her, which meant that she had some maternal complex and liked women who could take care of people.

So to say--

Isn’t my sister a perfect match?

Well, if it could help my sister get away from the man who nearly killed her, liking Winnet wouldn't matter - besides, it was simply impossible.

"That's not a concern. I really treasure the time I spend with Ai."

"You're talking more and more like an emotional scammer. Is your career plan to work in a gay bar if you can't continue being a pastor?"

Winnet shook her head vigorously, but she knew in her heart that Ai was just hiding her shyness.

Arrogant and cool!

"If Ai dumps me, I'll have no choice but to do that. Even though I'm a 30-year-old girl, 'foreigner', 'special hair color', and 'special eye color' are all selling points, right?"

As soon as Winnett finished speaking, she found that Xiao Ai had let go of her hand and made a gesture of hooking her hand to greet her. Confused, Winnett leaned over, not knowing whether there was something on her face or whether she had something to say in private.

The collar was grabbed——

Eh!

Her cheeks flushed.

A whisper came into my ear——

"You are my woman."

The collar was loosened again, and Winnet stood there in a daze, her thinking brain spinning like a ball, not knowing where it was going.

Not good!

Very bad.

If you have evil thoughts, you will be called in for questioning by the Japanese police immediately, and then published in the newspaper with the headline "An unscrupulous pastor actually did this to a little girl" to declare your social death completely!

But, she was the one who took the initiative!

This time it shouldn’t count, right?

Miss Winnet, please listen to me and don't be in a hurry.

Just wait for ten years and it will be OK! Just ten years, pretty normal, right?

"What are you still standing there for? If you want to get there, you have to take the subway, right?"

"coming!"

Winnet pinched her stiff facial muscles to prevent herself from making a silly smile and caught up with Ai.

……

The second residence of Emperor Moriya.

Megure explained his purpose to Moritani Teiji.

"You are right. The coincidences in these cases are indeed exaggerated."

Moriya lit his pipe and took a deep breath.

"I wonder if you have any potential partner in mind?"

Megure asked.

Conan, who was suspicious of Moritani, walked quietly in the living room and stopped in front of a group photo.

The location is a family photo in front of the clock tower in London.

Moriya noticed Conan standing there and said nostalgically, "That was a photo taken when I was 10 years old, Conan."

"Eh?"

"The ones with me are my parents."

"Professor Moritani's father seems like a very remarkable man."

Shiratori cut to the point: "He was also a world-renowned architect. He was mainly active in the British architectural community in the past. His design style was what I admired most. I remember that he passed away around..."

"Fifteen years ago today, he and my mother died in a fire in the villa. I inherited this house as an inheritance at that time," Moritani added.

White Bird gradually realized that those damaged buildings had one thing in common -

"It was from that time that Professor Moritani's designs have become the focus of everyone's attention ever since."

"Yes."

Moriya blew out smoke rings.

Conan, who was listening in, smelled the scent and immediately thought of the information mentioned by Ayumi in the armband. The strange fragrance...

He immediately thought of the Nishitama New Town Plan mentioned by Winnet. If the chief designer was Teiji Moriya...

Conan took immediate action. He sneaked out of the living room and ran all the way to the exhibition room he had visited before.

……

283 Detonating the Skyscraper

In the exhibition room, Conan re-examined the works hanging on the walls.

Exactly!

The location of the arson, and the location of the bomb -

Could such a thing really be possible?

Was the smell that Ayumi smelled the tobacco on Teiji Moritani?

He couldn't confirm it for the time being.

At this time, he noticed a table covered with black cloth in the middle of the exhibition hall. He walked over to it and opened a corner of the black cloth, and saw a copper nameplate engraved with words -

The new town of my dreams, Nishitama City.

He completely lifted the black cloth, and the complete town model appeared before him.

Perfect English symmetry.

Now we can finally confirm Moriya Teiji's purpose.

He wants to destroy his "immature work of youth" and seek revenge on Kudo Shinichi, who caused the collapse of his dream new town.

However, he doesn't have any evidence yet.

It was impossible to find evidence in such a short time, but if he let Moriya Teiji go, he might cause a bigger disaster next time. Realizing this, he decided to trick Moriya Teiji.

From the portrait the police obtained from Mitsuhiko and his friends, the person who handed them the remote-controlled plane was a man wearing sunglasses and having the same hairstyle as a homeless man.

Teiji Moriya is a proud person. If he saw these disguise props appear in front of him and the person who exposed him was Shinichi Kudo, he would definitely lose his temper.

However, he did not have enough materials.

In order to achieve his goal, Conan sneaked into other rooms of Moritani Teiji and finally found the location of the study.

"what?"

Seeing the lighter on the table, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Moriya Teiji has been smoking a pipe and using matches to light his fire.

Whether it was last time at the banquet or this time when he was in front of the police, it was the same.

There is weirdness.

He opened the lid of the lighter and found a button inside. After experiencing the explosion time continuously, he immediately guessed that this might be the remote control to control the bomb.

( Thousands of Xun ) 0 ㈠ 7 э ㈨ eight

I unscrewed the bottom cover and found the battery for the remote control.

After removing the battery and searching through the study, Conan found the two things he needed - the ink and scissors that were essential for the study, and the decorative hair on the knight model's helmet.

"That way it will be fine."

After making all the preparations, Conan switched to Kudo Shinichi's voice and called Inspector Megure.

Megure, who had been trying to communicate with Teiji Moriya to no avail, had originally planned to return home. However, after answering the phone and hearing Kudo Shinichi's voice, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Kudo Shinichi!"

Every time Kudo calls, it means the case has been solved.

Conan called Megure and the others to gather in the exhibition room.

"Excuse me, Professor Moritani. Can you let us visit your exhibition room?"

"Of course it's okay. Before that, I want to go to the study first."

When Moritani heard "Kudo Shinichi", he was just surprised, but when he asked them to go to the exhibition hall, he was horrified.

He guessed that Kudo Shinichi had already guessed that he was the mastermind behind the incident, so he planned to explain it in the exhibition hall.

The content may be explained to Kudo Shinichi by his girlfriend or Conan.

As expected of Kudo Shinichi, he was able to draw inferences based on just some vague information.

Although he didn't think Kudo Shinichi had any evidence to accuse him, to be on the safe side, he decided to go to the study to get the detonator to control the bomb in the house.

"it should be no problem?"

"Well, of course no problem."

Moriya Teiji went to the study and took the lighter-shaped detonator from the table.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Please follow me." Moriya made a gesture of invitation and led the way for Megure and the others. "The exhibition room is on the second floor of this house."

"Come in, please."

Teiji Moriya opened the door to the exhibition room.

However, as soon as he entered the exhibition room, his eyes widened.

The black cloth on the new town model of Nishitama City that I made by myself was missing and was placed openly in the corner of the room.

He examined the model angrily.

——Someone has been here. Was it the kid named Conan?
