Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

There was a pause in the middle...

"——Anyway, it's really lucky for a terrible person like me to meet you...I'm very grateful to you."

Hearing this, Kanae couldn't help but feel shocked and burst into tears.

Afterwards, there was a beep and a voice prompt saying "The message has ended" from the phone.

"If you need to play it again, please press..." the voice prompt continued, but Long hung up the phone at this time.

"If he hadn't met you, that man might have continued his underworld business and lived a happy life. You are really a sinful woman..."

Long laughed happily.

……

The "Kamen Rider Exhibition" had to be temporarily suspended, and the Prime Minister's wife and children were also arranged to wait in the room. The children were very happy to play with the Kamen Rider costumes and props, while the Prime Minister's wife said something to the female translator with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"This is taking too long. Madam asked when we can go back..." the female translator asked the person in charge of the Kamen Rider exhibition.

"We are currently checking the safety situation, please wait a moment..."

The translator told the Prime Minister's wife the person in charge's answer. The Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but frown and shook her head helplessly.

The computer screen that Long was watching finally changed, and three black cars drove out of the parking lot of the "Kamen Rider Exhibition". Long pressed the shortcut button on his phone.

"Are you ready, Mr. Kondo?"

Hearing the name "Kondo", Kanae's heart was shaken.

"…What do you want me to do?" Kondo asked back.

"The car carrying the Prime Minister's children will soon pass over the bridge in front of you. You just need to get that car into the accident, and I will be responsible for pressing the button of the bomb."

The scene on the bridge was projected on the computer screen in front of Long.

"Why would you attack a child?"

Hearing Kondo's question, Long just smiled coldly.

"Someone commissioned me to do this. I promised to get rid of them with bombs. This is a business deal."

Long continued with a smile, "Besides, this commission was originally given to you."

"What did you say?" Kondo couldn't help but ask.

"I was very interested in you, so I entered your studio without permission," said Long.

It was a summer half a year ago, when Long saw that a room in the apartment opposite could be accessed through the partition on the balcony. The man who set up this mechanism must not be an ordinary person - his intuition told him that there must be some unspeakable secrets in the room opposite.

So, Long began to investigate the information of the man opposite him. Whether it was a high-end apartment with automatic locks or something else, it was not difficult for him at all.

The owner of the room left a lot of detailed notes, including the dates of previous commissions, the people he depended on, and the targets, all left in the room in detail. It turned out that the owner of this room was the legendary underworld killer, Kondo.

In fact, he originally did some ordinary convenience store work, and because of his serious character, he was well received by customers. However, in recent years, he has been called the convenience store of the underworld. Although everyone knows that he is a legendary killer, no one has actually seen him. Since all the work commissions are negotiated over the phone, even the clients have never seen him in person. His position is even more elusive.

Long was also a member of the underworld, so he had naturally heard of Kondo. But even he had never imagined that this person lived across from his base...

"I was really surprised. I didn't expect that the legendary Kondo really existed. And when I continued to look up these materials, I found that Kondo had never killed anyone... At that time, I realized... Kondo was just a liar who helped people get away."

Long sneaked into Kondo's room, and at that moment, the phone in Kondo's room rang. Long's heart also jumped, this was probably a commission call.

Although he hoped that the ringing would stop soon, he was also very concerned about the content of the call.

I really want to pick up the receiver, but...

Long struggled internally, but the phone kept ringing for a long time and showed no sign of stopping. Finally, curiosity got the better of him and he picked up the receiver.

"That was a request from a foreigner. He seemed to have been looking for the number one killer in Japan, and it took him a lot of effort to find your contact information."

"Then you take this commission..." Kondo said from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, it was a huge reward after all. So I gave them my bank account number and accepted the commission... and then found so many helpers based on the list of well-known criminals you wrote down."

jingle.

At this moment, the alarm on the computer rang. Long turned around and saw a new window automatically opened on the screen, showing the image of a black car driving onto the bridge.

"Let's get going quickly, drive the car to the approach bridge, and don't hang up the phone." Long ordered Kondo.

Kondo followed Nana's instructions, got on the truck, and started the car without waiting. He drove the car all the way to the approach part of the bridge and stopped on the side of the road. Kondo leaned his head on the pillow and looked at the backpack on the passenger seat in despair. The bomb was in this bag...

What should I do?

Kondo clenched his fists tightly and hit the steering wheel hard. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while...then he raised his head firmly.

……

Three black cars drove onto the bridge.

"Almost..." Long had just said this to the phone when the door to the entrance was opened and Nana walked in hurriedly.

"…How…what happened? Didn't I ask you to go back to the villa?"

Now is the crucial moment, Long looked back and forth between the screen and Nana's face anxiously.

"The guy didn't have his phone, he gave his phone to the kid in the red brick warehouse and I gave him my phone."

"Huh?" Long couldn't believe his ears.

"I wanted to inform you earlier, but there were too many police officers questioning people in that area. If you want to get in touch with him, you should call my cell phone."

"But I just..."

What on earth is going on? Wasn't I just talking to Kondo?

Long looked at the phone in his hand in confusion. Who was the person who just talked to me?

At the same time, Kondo threw the backpack into the sea on the approach bridge.

boom!

There was a loud noise behind him, and several criminal police and plainclothes policemen quickly rushed in from the entrance, with Mao Li following behind them.

"Don't move! We are the police!"

"What...?" Long stood up blankly.

"I advise you to give up. This commission is still too difficult for you..."

Mao Li shrugged and said, "By the way, your conversation has been recorded as evidence."

On the other side, Conan looked up at the apartment where Long lived, smiled and put down the bow voice changer in his hand.

"...How did you find this place?" Long asked.

"Every time I meet someone like you, I have to introduce myself..."

Mao Li smiled and said, "It's too much trouble."

……

Conan looked downstairs at the floor where the Dragon Base was located, and saw that Kanae had already come out. Seeing that she was safe, Conan felt relieved. At this moment, the sound of emergency brakes came from not far away. Turning around, he saw a large truck parked in front of him. Kondo jumped down from the driver's seat and rushed into the apartment.

"what are you doing?"

“You can’t go in there!”

The police standing at the entrance hurriedly stopped Kondo. At this time, the area in front of the apartment was already filled with patrol cars, disguised police cars, inspection cars and ambulances.

"Are you from this apartment building?"

"No, I'm not... Let me in. Let me go, please!" Kondo and the police started pushing each other.

"Uncle!" Conan shouted, waving at Kondo, "Your wife is fine!"

The entrance to the apartment suddenly became noisy. Long and Nana walked out of the apartment in handcuffs and were pushed into a patrol car by the police. Many people gathered around to watch the excitement.

"Really... That's great..." Hearing Conan's words, Kondo breathed a sigh of relief as if he had lost all his strength.

"Where's the bomb?"

"According to Detective Maori's arrangement, I threw it into the sea."

At this moment, Kanae staggered out with the help of the emergency personnel. She immediately saw Kondo and looked over here. Kondo silently took a few steps forward, and at the same time, Kanae also walked over here. The towel on Kanae's shoulder suddenly fell off... The two ran towards each other at the same time and hugged each other tightly.

"I told you, I know nothing!"

Another noise was heard nearby. Sakurai was sitting in the back seat of the patrol car being questioned by the police.

"It was my friend who asked me to take my kids to the Kamen Rider exhibition."

"Masked Rider Exhibition? Have you been there too?"

"no……"

Sakura seemed to be in trouble. Should he go over and help? Just as he was thinking this...

"I say, little friend."

A policeman walked towards Conan.

"It's dangerous here, you can't come in. Are you a kid who lives around here?"

"Um, sorry!" Conan smiled innocently.

"Then it's up to you."

Kondo handed Kanae over to the emergency personnel. Since she had been taken hostage, she needed to be sent to the hospital for examination. He turned around to look for Conan, but Conan was gone. What an incredible child... Kondo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Hey!" Sakurai poked his head out of the patrol car.

"Come over here and explain! These people don't understand what I'm saying at all!"

Seeing Sakurai looking troubled, Kondo smiled and walked towards the crowd of onlookers. This incident can also be said to be caused by Kondo falling in the bathhouse half a year ago. As for why he fell, it was naturally because he stepped on the soap that Sakurai accidentally dropped on the ground.

However, it was also because of this incident that he met Kanae and was able to escape from his work as a gangster. From this perspective, he should also thank Sakurai...

However, it is better not to worry about him for now. After all, he spent all his money half a year ago, so it is reasonable for him to be punished now.

"Thank you... Detective Mori, Conan..."

Kondo smiled, left Sakurai who kept yelling behind him, and continued walking forward.

Chapter 196: The Novelist's Crime

After the disappearance of Conan, the elementary school student who is the god of death, Maori only had a few days of rest before he encountered another case.

That's what happened--

"It's broken down. There seems to be something wrong with the engine." Maori got out of the car in the heavy rain with a gloomy look on his face to check, but soon had to get back into the car. He shrugged in response to Ai's gaze.

Xiao Ai twitched her lips: "What should we do now?"

"I'll try to contact Xiaolan first..." Mao Li took out his cell phone, but found that there was no signal at all. Even more unlucky was that Mao Li didn't bring a satellite phone.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come." Xiao Ai looked at the rain outside the window helplessly.

"I have no choice. I have to pick up Xiaolan and Yuanzi. The journey is so long, I have to find a companion. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Ai rolled her eyes. "It's an honor to be here, uncle. Anyway, what should we do?"

"Well... when we got here, the gas station was 20 to 30 kilometers away from here. Let alone in the rain, it would be hard to find help even under normal circumstances. But fortunately, this place is not far from the Sonoko family's villa. She and Xiaolan found out that we were so late and couldn't get in touch with us, so they will come to find us tomorrow morning when the rain stops."

"All we have to do is wait in the car... huh? Wait, uncle, what is that?"

Xiao Ai suddenly pointed outside the window and said.

"That looks like a villa..." Maori looked in the direction of Xiao Ai's finger, his eyes lit up, "I'll go see if there's anyone there..."

"Okay, I'll come too."

The two of them then rushed into the woods in the heavy rain.

The villa looks a bit old and is located in the dense forest. If it weren't for the dim lights, it would be hard to find.

Maori and Xiao Ai ran closer and saw a red car parked in front of the villa. There were indeed lights on in the villa. Maori hurried forward and rang the doorbell.

"jingle!"

"What's the matter?" A pretty young woman looked at Maori through the glass window in confusion.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late..." Mao Li was stunned when he saw the woman and explained, "My car can't move anymore. Can I borrow your phone?"
