34, detonating the skyscraper (5)

"The amount of explosives?" At first, Kogoro Mori hadn't remembered it yet. But then he remembered what Officer Twilight had said at the beginning, that the explosives on the Tokyo Ring Line were only a quarter of what had been stolen. They don't know where the remaining three-quarters are, but because they don't know, it's even more worrying.

As if remembering something, Kei Suzuki asked Shiratori, "Officer Shiratori, what else is there besides the building designed by Professor Moriya before the age of 30 that has been burned down?" ”

Officer Twilight also reacted when he heard Kei Suzuki's question, and asked nervously, "Shiratori, what other works did Moriya have before he was 30 years old?" Where are they? Did you just look it up? ”

Shiratori also went with Suzuki Kei, and hurriedly opened the small book he was carrying: "I've checked, in addition to Professor Moriya's works before the age of 30, which have been burned, and the bridge that was almost blown up just now, there is only one rice flower city building." ”

"What! You're not wrong, are you? Kei Suzuki and the others all screamed, thinking that Shiratori had said something wrong.

Shiratori looked at the record in his hand and confirmed, "That's right, this is it!" ”

Officer Twilight immediately said, "I immediately contacted the Metropolitan Police Department and asked someone to search the Rice Flower City Building." Brother Suzuki, you and I will visit Emperor Moriya's house. ”

When Conan heard Officer Twilight say this, he got up from his hospital bed and said, "I'm going too!" I know how to get to Moriya's house. ”

Mori Kogoro wanted to press Conan to the hospital bed, but unfortunately Conan was quick to dodge. Maori Kogoro grabbed two handfuls without catching Conan, so he said, "Little ghost, you were injured, rest well!" ”

Conan jumped on the spot and said, "It's okay, I'm fine!" ”

After saying that, Conan ran out after Kei Suzuki.

Shiratori and Kei Suzuki followed behind Officer Twilight and said with some hesitation, "Officer Twilight, although we all believe that Professor Moritani is the serial arsonist and the one who planted the bomb this time, we don't have direct evidence to prove it. Go straight to him like this, what if he doesn't admit it? ”

"Also, if we send a large number of police forces to block the Rice City Building, will he directly detonate the bomb if he finds it on TV?"

Keiya Suzuki said, "Officer Twilight, Officer Shiratori has a point. If we can't get Moriya under control, three-quarters of the remaining explosives could be detonated at any time, and it would be very risky for us to do so. ”

Officer Twilight stopped the call he was about to make, and it was a difficult question. However, Moriya is indeed the one who is the most suspicious, and even if it is dangerous, he has to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Officer Twilight still called Kiyocho Matsumoto of the Metropolitan Police Department and reported to him, "Matsumoto Police, for the recent serial arsonist and the prisoner who used a bomb to threaten to blow up the Tokyo Loop Line today, I now suspect that the famous architect Teiji Moriya. ”

"And his next target may be the Rice Flower City Building, but I don't have any solid evidence, just some inferences based on the current situation. I want to go to Moriya's house to drag him first, and ask the police to arrange for some people to dredge the Rice Flower City building and remove the bomb after I go to Moriya's house. ”

"Teji Moriya? Rice Flower City Building? Matsumoto's voice sounded a little surprised, "Twilight, what the hell is going on?" ”

Officer Twilight relayed the news he had received from Conan and Mori Kogoro, "Moriya was dissatisfied with his works before the age of 30 and wanted to destroy them all. The four houses that burned down in front of him and the bridge that he wants to bomb today, are all works he made before he was 30 years old, and so is the Rice Flower City Building. ”

Hearing Officer Twilight say this, Matsumoto was also shocked. Immediately, he understood Officer Twilight's intention to let him quietly send someone, although it was very likely that the prisoner was Emperor Moritani, but it could not be said that there was no other possibility. I don't even know if Teiji Moriya has any accomplices, and in such a situation, it is obviously not wrong to be careful.

"Okay, Twilight." The Matsumoto police officer agreed, "When you arrive at Moriya's house, call me, and I'll have someone ready to leave now." ”

It was 7 p.m., an hour after the bomb was found. Kei Suzuki and the three of them were led by Conan to Teiji Moriya's house, and on the way, their car passed by the park where the bomb that injured Conan had stopped. From outside the park, Conan also noticed that there were several streetlights on the side of the road that were not quite suitable for the park.

After seeing Emperor Moritani, not to mention Kei Suzuki, even Shiratori, who originally admired him very much, was suspicious of him. After Officer Twilight and Kei Suzuki glanced at each other, Kei Suzuki first greeted Teiji Moriya, while Officer Twilight called Matsumoto, who was waiting at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kei Suzuki pretended not to know that Teji Moriya was a prisoner, so he said to Teiji Moriya: "Professor Morita, from today's bombing case and the recent serial arson case, our police have found that it is mainly your design work. So we wanted to come over and ask, Professor Moriya, do you know if there are any people who are more hostile to you? ”

After hearing Kei Suzuki's question, Teiji Moriya quietly breathed a sigh of relief. You know, when he first saw the police come to the door, he was very nervous. Although he was sure that he had left no traces, Kei Suzuki's words immediately dispelled his worries and made him laugh in his heart.

As soon as the mood was relaxed, Teiji Moriya let Kei Suzuki and them into the house. After inviting Kei Suzuki to sit down, Teiji Moriya lit his pipe. And as the tobacco in the pipe is ignited, a special aroma spreads.

As soon as Conan entered the room, he stood relatively close to Teiji Moritani, and he smelled it, and Kei Suzuki's keen senses also smelled it. After Kei Suzuki and Conan glanced at each other, they also thought of what Ayumi had said about a special fragrance. In this way, Teiji Moriya is more in line with the characteristics of the prisoner.

Kei Suzuki gave Conan a look and asked him to go to Moriya's house to find out if he could find any evidence. However, Conan found a new work in Moriya's exhibition room, and made a model. The name of the model is "Seishitama City, the dream city of my heart". In the model, Conan also saw a lot of street lights that he had just seen in the park where the bomb timer had stopped.

Seeing this model, Conan remembered what Officer Twilight had said in his hospital room: "Mayor Okamoto was disgraced by this, and the construction of a new town in Seishitama City, which he had planned, was put on hold." ”

Thinking of this, Conan also thought about why Teiji Moriya had a grudge against him. Because he is the one who destroyed Teiji Moriya's dream, it makes sense that Teiji Moriya has hatred for him.
