Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

"Absolutely no problem!"

……

“62 kilometers! 61 kilometers!”

Inside the cab, the train driver seemed to have shed all the sweat in his life. He gritted his teeth and continued to slow down, "60 kilometers! ... 59 kilometers! 58 kilometers!!"

Finally, the driver took a deep breath and said excitedly: "This is Train No. 10, the speed has dropped below 60 kilometers! There is no abnormal situation!"

"Very good, just keep slowing down! Stop at the cargo track!"

"Yes!"

……

Midori Police Hospital. When Maori and Conan returned here, the children who had safely escaped from the loop line also returned here. Officer Megure was ordering his men to search for the bomb according to the location they had deduced.

Finally, with more than ten minutes left before sunset, all five bombs were found and successfully defused.

Only then did Inspector Megure let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Maori and said gratefully: "Brother Maori, this time it is really thanks to your famous reasoning! Otherwise, we would be in big trouble!"

"Nothing, it's as it should be."

Maori waved his hand, "Have you found all the bombs?"

"Well, they have all been recycled."

Officer Megure nodded, and the smile on his face disappeared. He said in a deep voice, "But the amount of gunpowder seized now is only a quarter of the total amount stolen a few days ago."

"That means there are three quarters of the powder left?"

Mao Li's forehead was throbbing with veins at this number.

"Yes, we can't let our guard down now! The Metropolitan Police Department has already taken action to find the gunpowder and the criminal as soon as possible."

Officer Megure paused and continued, "By the way, I have asked them to return the police motorcycle you just rode. Can I use the police car to take you home later?"

"Ah? A police car?"

Mao Li couldn't help but think of the last time he rode in a police car, and laughed dryly, "I think it's still..."

"Just take the police car! Uncle Maori!"

The children excitedly interrupted Mao Li's refusal, "We want to go back in the police car!"

"Ha... okay."

Mao Li twitched his lips helplessly, "Who told you to do such a great deed this time..."

After a while, a police car took Mori and the others back to Beika Town according to the instructions of Officer Megure. Ayumi and the other children were still very excited until they got on the car.

“It’s a real police car!”

“This is my first time sitting on…”

"Be quiet, don't disturb other people's driving!"

……

Since they were riding in a police car that no driver dared to cut in or overtake, Maori and his group quickly returned to Beika Town.

"Excuse me, I'll just stop here."

The police car first arrived at Maori's detective agency. After Maori got off the car, he asked the police officer to send the children home one by one: "You guys should rest at home today, okay?"

"Ok!"

Ayumi nodded obediently, "See you tomorrow, Uncle Maori!"

After seeing the children off, Mao Li suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

I'm so glad that nothing happened today. Things almost got out of control...

After returning to the third floor of the office, Maori opened a can of beer when another call came in - this time it was from Conan who was staying at Midori Hospital tonight.

"uncle,"

Conan found an opportunity to make a phone call, "I have something I want to tell you."

"what happened?"

Mao Li asked curiously, "Did we miss something during the investigation during the day?"

"That's not true,"

Conan shook his head, looked at the TV in the ward, and said carefully, "Actually, I feel that there seems to be a deeper hidden story behind this bomb incident. Perhaps it is related to the series of arson cases that occurred a few days ago... If I remember correctly, those burned houses should be the works of the famous architect Moriya Teiji. Moreover, there happened to be a bomb installed on a bridge designed by him on the loop line today, and the rest of the places are ordinary residential areas. It is a bit strange to say that it is a coincidence."

"Moritani Teiji?"

Mao Li frowned. He seemed to have seen this name in the newspaper recently.

"Yes, maybe the real purpose of the criminal in this ring line bomb incident was to blow up the bridge..."

Conan's thoughts suddenly became clearer, and he muttered, "Wait! If the serial arsonist is the same person as the criminal this time, he must be targeting Professor Moritani's design. It is very likely that the criminal himself has a deep hatred for Professor Moritani. Is the reason he challenged me just a trick?"

"If this is the case, the criminal may continue to commit crimes,"

Mao Li stroked his chin, his eyes becoming serious, "Do you know what other architectural designs Professor Moritani has?"

Conan gathered his thoughts and recalled: "I remember that in addition to the bridge, there seemed to be a central building in Beika City... Oops!"

"What, what's wrong?"

Mao Li was startled by Conan's shout, "What happened?"

"no,"

Conan looked at his watch and said with a bitter face, "I completely forgot that I had to go there with Xiaolan at ten o'clock tonight..."

"What are you doing there?"

Maori's tone suddenly became as cold as the Arctic.

"...If I say we're going there to study and read, uncle, would you believe me?"

Conan finally reacted, his voice filled with despair as if he had given up struggling.

……

Near Ginza Station, even though the explosion on the Loop Line had been reported on TV news, the commercial street here was still as calm as ever, with a constant flow of traffic and shoppers walking in groups of three or four on both sides.

"I'll accompany you here." Sonoko walked to the subway entrance with the shopping bags, then turned around to say goodbye to Xiaolan.

"Thank you for accompanying me today." Xiaolan nodded. In order to prepare a gift for Shinichi in the evening, she and Sonoko went shopping in Ginza for a whole day.

Yuanzi looked at him mischievously and said with a teasing smile: "You have to give me a good report tomorrow. You have to snatch his first kiss!"

As passers-by looked at her awkwardly, Xiaolan couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

The garden is still so carefree...

And first kiss and all that...

If dad knew about this, he would definitely beat both Shinichi and I to death qwq!

……

In Beika Central Building, Officer Megure and his plainclothes men entered the lobby quietly after receiving a notification from Mori. As the most iconic building in Beika Town, this place is very popular, especially at this time of night, when there are many people watching movies and shopping, which brings a lot of trouble to the police.

"Brother Maori," Officer Megure said, holding the phone, his face heavy, "the situation is more serious than we thought. The amount of explosives found in the corridor and the emergency exit is much more than before, and they are all set to explode at 10 o'clock."

"Where's the criminal? Have you found any suspicious people around?"

Maori broke out in a cold sweat. Even if the bomb was found, there were still many problems. The most important thing was to ensure that the criminal would not detonate the bomb prematurely because of the police's actions.

"There are too many people nearby, and we haven't found anything yet," Officer Megure shook his head. "We checked the suspect's disguise and found nothing. We only have less than 30 minutes left, so we can only move the bombs first."

"Officer Megure!"

Gao Mu contacted through the intercom, "I have taken a bomb out of the movie city, and there is nothing unusual at the moment!"

"very good!"

Officer Megure breathed a sigh of relief and said urgently, "We can't be careless now. We must move all the bombs before the suspect finds them!"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll leave everything here to you, Officer Megure."

Mao Li on the other end of the phone said, "Officer Shiratori and I will deal with our side first."

"Okay! Keep in touch!"

……

As one of the most prestigious architects in Japan, Professor Teiji Moriya's home is not far from the Beika Central Building and is the absolute center of Beika Town.

Maori and his group met with Moriya Teiji in the living room.

"You are right,"

Moriya Teiji lit his pipe with a match, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "These cases are indeed incredibly coincidental."

"Professor Moriya,"

Mao Li asked, "Have you ever offended anyone? Who on earth could possibly do such a thing to avenge you?"

Moriya Teiji held his pipe with an awkward expression: "Well... I don't know who it could be. I'm really sorry. Mr. Maori, you know that I'm a famous architect, just like you, a famous detective. Maybe I have unknowingly aroused the jealousy of others."

Conan looked at Professor Moritani who was deep in thought, and could vaguely smell a sweet scent - since he didn't smoke, he was very sensitive to this smell.

It's the smell of pipe...

Conan's eyes darkened slightly and he looked at Professor Moritani with suspicion.

While Mao Li was asking questions, he quietly left the living room and ran into Professor Moritani's design exhibition room, where various design works of Professor Moritani were displayed.

All the buildings in trouble were works by Professor Moritani before he was 30 years old. Unlike the symmetrical style he created after he was 30, they basically did not meet the requirements of symmetry.

"Could it be that such a thing really happened?"

Conan gritted his teeth and thought about the almost morbid symmetrical aesthetics of Moritani Teiji. It would be too horrifying to say that Moritani Teiji created this bomb incident because he wanted to destroy his previous asymmetrical works.

"Drip!"

The phone rang, and Officer Megure called and said, "Brother Kudo, a bomb has been found in the Beika Central Building. The strange thing is that the largest bomb is actually at Beika Cinema, and there are bombs at the exit and emergency passage of Beika Cinema... I heard from Maori that you were planning to watch a movie here with Xiaolan tonight. It feels like the criminal is coming for you again."

"Compared to this,"

Conan has used the voice changer to switch to Kudo Shinichi's voice, "Is Xiaolan okay, officer?"

"She's still in the hall,"

Officer Megure stood at the entrance of the Beika Cinema on the 5th floor. He glanced at Xiaolan who was waiting silently inside and said with lingering fear, "Brother Kudo, who did you offend? The bomb at the exit was set to explode at 12 o'clock, which is exactly the time when you and Xiaolan were going to meet in the lobby. The largest bomb in the lobby was set to explode at 3:. Isn't this very strange?"

If the police hadn't investigated the bomb in advance, Kudo Shinichi might have been trapped in the hall with Xiaolan, and then died at 12:3. Even Inspector Megure could sense something was wrong at this time - if the criminal wanted to take revenge on Professor Moriya Teiji, there was no need to make it so complicated...

"I don't know who I have offended, and I don't know why he designed it this way..."

Conan shook his head. Suddenly, his sight was attracted by a huge model cabinet covered with black cloth in the design exhibition room. "Anyway, Officer Megure, I have made a new discovery here. I won't talk about it for now. I'll contact you later!"

"Huh? Kudo-kun? Kudo-kun!"

Conan hung up the phone without hesitation and walked towards the model cabinet. Due to his height, he moved a chair and stood on it.

"What on earth is this..."

Conan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to lift the black cloth on the model cabinet to find out what was inside - suddenly, he was grabbed by the back of the collar and then lifted up.

"what!"

Conan subconsciously wanted to struggle, but a familiar voice froze his movements instantly, "I knew you hadn't come back for a long time, you must have discovered something!"

"uncle……"

Conan laughed dryly and turned his head - the person who picked him up like a chicken was none other than Maori, who was supposed to go to Professor Teiji Moriya to ask about the situation with Officer Shiratori.

"Why are you here, uncle?"
