Chapter 106: The Legend of the Red Line
"Why didn't it explode? Where did you bury all that explosives? Do you want to ask these questions? Surprised? Not surprised? Teiji Moriya! I didn't expect it! I've been around your house for a day today, and I know exactly where you buried your explosives in the afternoon, and this is a bomb disposal expert from our Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so you know! ”
Watching Emperor Moriya's righteous expression on his face, which was worth his life, slowly turned into a puzzled embarrassment, Yuichi, who was waiting for this face-slapping show, couldn't wait to jump out like a villain, chattering and pulling up hatred.
"I see? You've already disposed of the explosives, huh? In this way, let's witness this last moment together! Now ten minutes until 10 o'clock and it's all over! Throwing the beautiful lighter in his hand to the floor like garbage, Teiji Moriya, who took out a box of matches again, slowly lit the pipe in his mouth.
"The last moment? What do you mean? Yuichi, who saw Teiji Moriya calm down, couldn't calm down anymore, and his years of work experience told him that there must be demons when things are abnormal, and in the face of his puzzled eyes, he may feel that the overall situation has been decided. Teiji Moriya, who sat back on the sofa, laughed proudly after exhaling a puff of smoke rings.
"Officer Yuichi, can you think of my motive for burning the garbage of the Kurokawa House, can't you still think of the meaning of my words? Oh! I forgot that you stood guard in front of my house for a day today, so I will tell you with great mercy! Before I came back in the afternoon, I had just put a lot of bombs on the ring line bridge I had designed, and I don't know if the stupid guy of Kogoro Maori had solved it, if not, then the last stain in the history of architecture in my life would disappear immediately, and the old man has no regrets in this life! Hahaha! ”
"A stain on life?" Yuichi, who had a bad premonition, immediately shook out the information he had collected and compared them one by one.
"Rice Flower Municipal Building? Isn't this building you designed perfectly symmetrical? ”
"That's right! At the end of the day, those ridiculous guys actually told me that the bubble economy had collapsed, so there wasn't enough money for the construction, so for these ridiculous reasons, it became the most failed work of my life, just a few floors away from the top floor! It actually destroyed its symmetrical beauty! What a pity! You people who don't understand my aesthetics! Pay the price for your recklessness and stupidity! By the way, if I'm not mistaken! Shinichi Kudo's little girlfriend is still waiting for him to watch a movie! The location seems to be at the Rice Flower Municipal Building, and I don't know if that bastard from Kudo Shinichi went to the appointment! It would be perfect if he was there, too! ”
"You bastard!" Yuichi, who finally knew all the plans of Emperor Moriya, hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Conan, he wanted Conan to be injured and then win Xiaolan's sympathy and reconciliation, yes! But he wouldn't put two people in a bomb-filled building to talk about their relationship. I didn't know at all, because Xiaolan left home early today, and after Conan was injured by a bomb, Kogoro Maori didn't inform Yuichi of Xiaolan, and suddenly felt that all his plans were all messed up.
"Hey! Shinichi! Where are you? It's too late to explain! The Rice Flower Municipal Building was bombed by the madman Teiji Moriya! The scheduled time for the explosion was 10 o'clock, and now it was only five minutes before the detonation! ”
"What? Rice Flower Municipal Building was bombed? Ten o'clock? Bastard! Xiaolan is still inside! Conan, who had cleared the five bombs between the railroad tracks and was cooperating with Mori Kogoro with a sigh of relief, suddenly jumped up from the hospital bed with the Twilight Police Department and Shiratori Renzaburo looking for the murderer.
"Huh? What bomb? What does Rice Flower Municipal Building mean? And what does this have to do with Xiaolan? "Discussing whether someone is suspicious of Teiji Moriya, Twilight and the others couldn't help but ask when they heard Conan's exclamation.
"Brother Yuichi has caught the murderer of the arson, it is the Moriya Daiji we are discussing, these destroyed buildings are not aimed at Moriya Daiji, but Moriya Teiji himself blew up, and he is now going to destroy the last important building that he thinks is a stain on his life!"
"Rice Flower Municipal Building?" Hearing Conan's explanation, the Twilight Police Department looked at Conan and nodded slowly, wondering why Yuichi didn't call them, but called a little ghost, thinking that the high-rise building in the center of the city was blown up, and after making a shudder, the Twilight Police Department immediately took out the phone in his arms.
"Hey, hey, hey! Matsumoto Police! I'm Twilight! Something big is wrong......"
"Xiaolan! You must wait for me! Ignoring the sudden noise in the ward, Conan, who was dressed in his own clothes, rushed desperately towards the Rice Flower Municipal Building with his black technology skateboard.
"Hey! Brother Youyi! Please, do a search on Teiji Moriya and see if there's a map of the bomb he planted! I always felt that if I wanted to blow up a building with these bombs, Teiji Moriya must have studied the key points of this building with the blueprints, after all, this is the building he designed, and the blueprints or something can be easily obtained for him! ”
"I see? I understand! Leave it to me! By the way, that bastard just said he reserved three minutes for you to confess! I think Xiaolan should be okay for the time being, as long as she's still in the cinema. ”
"Did you give me three more minutes? Then I really thank him! Don't worry, Xiaolan will be fine! ”
Hanging up the mobile phone in his hand, Conan, who had already seen that the majestic building in the center of the city not far away was beginning to be surrounded by red, and from time to time there was billowing smoke accompanied by explosions, he couldn't help but become more anxious.
"Ran! You must not be fine! ”
At the same time, Xiaolan, who was holding a movie ticket and waiting for a new appearance with a gift carefully selected from today's shopping in the store, was shrinking in the corner of the movie theater to comfort other people trapped in the movie theater, and the safety exit that could escape was completely blown up at the first moment of the explosion, and all the couples staying in the movie theater were completely blocked inside, and could only listen to the roaring explosions outside and the screams of people from time to time and sobbed silently, waiting for the final death ending.
"Shinichi! Will you come? If it were you, it would be fine, right? I'm not going to sit back and wait, just like every time you solve a case, I'm going to find a way to survive in this desperate situation! Finally calmed down the people around her, glanced at the movie ticket with the legend of the red line written in her hand, hooked her little thumb, and suddenly Xiaolan, who had great courage, began to search in the movie theater, she wanted to try to find a way to get out or a tool that could contact the outside.
