Miyazaki Yu looked thoughtful: "The Sumida Canal Bridge? It's completely different from other installation locations. From a criminal psychology perspective, this is the real target that criminals want to destroy. Who designed this bridge?"

Officer Shiratori chimed in at the opportune moment, "I know this. It's the work of Professor Teiji Moriya from Toto University. It's built with British-style stone blocks and caused quite a stir back then."

"Teiji Moriya? Conan, when we were chasing the culprit today, you saw Professor Moriya in front of that unfinished building, right?"

Conan suddenly remembered and his expression changed abruptly.

"That's right. Professor Moriya looked a bit flustered at the time. After seeing you come out, he left immediately. And it seems that the recent series of arson attacks all involved buildings he designed."

Everyone was shocked and startled upon hearing these words.

Inspector Megure was even more shocked: "If what they say is true, then Professor Moriya is a prime suspect!"

Chapter 194 The End of Moritani Teiji

Officer Shiratori's eyes widened.

"Yes, that's right. Whether from the perspective of criminal psychology or the degree of correlation, it is very likely."

Often, the reason why things are unclear is because of a lack of direction. Just like an unemployed person, the reason why he doesn't work hard is not because he lacks perseverance or faith.

More often than not, it's because they lack direction.

Once you have a direction, filling in the details becomes much simpler.

Going from zero to one is the hardest, while going from one to one hundred is actually quite easy!

So after Miyazaki Yu mentioned Moriya Teiji as a suspect, Conan had already made a judgment: this famous architect was definitely the culprit!

This is both a judgment based on accumulated experience and the intuition of a master detective!

"Understood! We'll head to Teiji Moriya's mansion immediately and stop him from doing anything even more outrageous!" Inspector Megure roared.

The surrounding police officers immediately stood at attention.

"Yes--!"

Teiji Moriya's residence.

After leading everyone into the living room, Teiji Moriya struck a match, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

At this moment, Moriya Teiji appeared calm and composed, but in reality, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

As a genius designer, although he is stubborn and willful, he is by no means stupid; in fact, he can be described as very perceptive.

He realized that he was probably already on the police's list of suspects, or even that he had been identified as a criminal.

After hearing Inspector Megure's description, Teiji Moriya sighed.

“Inspector Megure, you’re right. These buildings that were set on fire were all my works before I turned thirty. But I’m just an architect, I don’t have any enemies. Let me name one.”

Miyazaki Yu suddenly smiled faintly: "Oh, is that so? It seems that Professor Moriya has not yet realized his situation. Before I came here, I had already made a judgment, that is, you are the real culprit of this series of arson and bombing cases."

"What? What do you mean?"

Moriya Teiji suddenly became furious, glaring fiercely at Miyazaki Yu, while a great fear surged within him.

"Why? Why is he so certain that he suspects me?"

He couldn't help but bluster, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. You're not with the police, are you? What right do you have to say these things here?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled calmly and said, "I don't have any ready-made evidence, but it doesn't matter, because the evidence is on you."

Moriya Teiji frowned. Although he was exceptionally intelligent, he was ultimately just an architect, not a criminal expert. He simply couldn't figure out where he had slipped up.

"Time is of the essence, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Actually, I hadn't met Professor Moriya before I came here, so my judgment was just a guess. But once I met you, I knew that my judgment was correct."

The first clue was the smell. You like to use long-handled matches to light your cigarettes, so you'll smell of vanilla. This matches the suspect near the Green Park. The suspect had a bomb strapped to a remote-controlled airplane, so I flew the airplane towards the suspect and quickly went to the abandoned building to search. I found the clothes and fake beard the suspect had discarded, so I knew this.

"What? This..."

Moriya Teiji was horrified. He had only been focused on escaping and had forgotten all about these things. He never expected that the lingering smell on his clothes could be considered evidence!

Miyazaki Yu continued speaking.

"Then there's the bloodstain on the clothes. The perpetrator was injured by the bomb, and naturally, blood would flow from his wounds. The clothes were stained with residual blood, which is the second piece of evidence."

Now, all it takes is a blood test to identify the culprit!

Conan nodded to himself: "This is indeed the simplest method. This guy is really meticulous. It seems that when he injured Moriya Teiji, he was already considering how to identify the culprit."

At this moment, Inspector Megure stood up and said, "Professor Moriya, you are now a prime suspect. We would like to ask you to cooperate with a blood test. What do you think?"

The look of horror on Moriya Teiji's face gradually faded, instantly replaced by a look of madness.

"Hahaha, I never expected this. I wanted to defeat Shinichi Kudo, that high school detective, but I never expected that there would be such a terrifying person as you among high school students. You were able to quickly identify me as a suspect with very little evidence. I really admire you now. But even so, you are still the loser!"

"You know that girl named Ran Mouri, right? You and Shinichi both like her, don't you? She'll be at Beika City Hall tonight. That's my worst project ever. I want her and that building to turn to ashes!"

"what!"

Inspector Megure was taken aback and quickly ordered, "Arrest him immediately!"

Professor Moriya, however, quickly stepped back, picked up a cylindrical lighter-like object, and sneered.

"Don't come near me! I've planted a bomb here too. If you dare to make a move, I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly rang out, followed by a sharp whistling sound. Moriya Teiji was swept up by a powerful force and slammed into the wall.

When they looked again, his arm was pinned directly to the wall by a silver-white throwing knife.

It was clearly Miyazaki Yu who had made the move, throwing a knife that pierced through the opponent's arm, pulling his body backward and causing him to crash into the wall.

"pat-"

Before the detonator even hit the ground, it was already grabbed by Miyazaki Yu, who was following closely behind.

"Click—"

With a casual clench of his fist, Miyazaki Yu's immense grip instantly reduced the entire detonation device to fragments.

All these changes left Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mouri, and the others completely dumbfounded.

"Isn't this too exaggerated? Just a throwing knife can send a person flying backwards. That's an incredible amount of power."

"what--"

Professor Moriya let out a scream. He was in so much pain that he could not move. He barely managed to open his eyes.

"Well, well, you're quite something. But it's too late. I specifically redesigned the bomb to deal with you. You and Shinichi Kudo are both just like that, you can only watch that girl die!"

Miyazaki Yu's expression was grim. The thing he feared most had finally happened, but worrying was useless now.

"Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm on my way to rescue Ran right now. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one and nothing can harm a single hair on her head!"

With that, he bent his knees and leaped into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was at the door. With a loud crash, the heavy door of the Moriya family was shattered into pieces by his powerful blow. When you looked again, his figure was already far away, and you could only see a small black dot.

Even though Conan was extremely anxious, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.

"This guy is absolutely terrifying! Although I'm furious, with him taking action now, Xiaolan should be saved. Xiaolan, you absolutely mustn't get hurt!"

Chapter 195 Undeterred and Unstoppable

At this moment, Ran had already said goodbye to her good friend Sonoko, who had spent the whole day with her, and walked towards the movie theater alone.

She was filled with mixed feelings. From today onwards, she would completely let go of her hazy feelings, even though she and Shinichi had never really started anything.

However, the childhood friendship also made Ran feel a pang of sadness. This kind of feeling that is hard to erase is what feelings are, but Shinichi Kudo really went too far.

He has gradually and completely disappeared from her life.

This is what hurts Xiaolan the most. She can forgive everything that happened before, but what does it mean to disappear without a trace like this?

But Miyazaki Yu was different. He was gentle and warm towards her, like a spring breeze and rain flowing into her heart, causing the scales in her heart to tip continuously.

Just then, a strange sound was heard, and several children were seen gathered around a very strange box. Each side of the box had a puzzle piece on it, and the children had already pieced together five pictures.

"Hurry up, Suneo! You're so clumsy. Our pattern is already pieced together."

The boy named Xiaofu was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Don't rush me, I'm working hard too. It must be because this painting is particularly difficult."

A child nearby scoffed, "No, not at all. Every painting is just as difficult. It's because you're too clumsy and slow that we could have gotten the treasure in the box long ago."

The children's actions also attracted the attention of several adults nearby.

"What are these kids playing with? Are they some new toys from the mall? I've never seen them before."

"That's true, it's my first time seeing this too, but it's so interesting. Each child can only piece together one picture, so it takes six children working together to solve it. It's super fun."

Everyone started discussing it, and Xiaolan, out of curiosity, couldn't help but look as well.

Before long, the sweating boy finally finished the puzzle, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Then, the box clicked open automatically, but there was nothing inside except a red button, which puzzled the children.

"It's a red button. Could pressing it bring something good?"

One of the boys couldn't resist pressing the button, but nothing seemed to happen, leaving the other children disappointed.

"Completely useless. It seems this button is just a decoration."

But in a corner where no one could see, inside several heavy tote bags, the previously silent bags suddenly lit up, and several red countdowns lit up instantly, revealing bombs!

This was Moriya Teiji's last resort!

He made the detonator into the shape of a children's toy and deliberately placed it in the toy section, so that unsuspecting children would become the ones to detonate the bomb.

Their intentions were exceptionally malicious!

As the countdown reached zero, a violent explosion erupted, and the unfortunate few people at the center of the blast were instantly torn to shreds!

Those who were a little further away were instantly thrown out by the blast wave, rolling around like gourds. No one could have predicted that death would quietly arrive in the bustling Mihana City Hall!

"what--"

Screams and screams filled the air as everyone panicked instantly. Fear overwhelmed them, all rationality vanished, and everyone had only one thought: to survive. Trampling each other was inevitable.

Various angry curses and insults were also rampant.

Xiaolan was swept along by the crowd, like a small boat, unable to control her own actions, and her fear reached its peak.

"boom--"
