Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 149 Crimson Star, Lie and Matsuda Zhenping

Matsuda Jinpei's words were quickly fulfilled——

At noon that day, there were two small fires in two places... Fortunately, there were no casualties, only half of the building was burned.

Looking at the scene of the fire source, the laziness on Matsuda Jinping's face quickly turned serious.

"Forensics personnel, see if there are any traces of bombs here."

"Yes!"

After calling the inspection team over, he continued to investigate around the villa by himself.

Police officer Megure and another detective Shiratori went to another scene. Because Matsuda Jinhei's experience in dealing with fires and explosions far exceeded ordinary people's experience, both of them were very relieved, so they specially sent a small team to take charge here.

The successive bombings during this period made Matsuda Zhenping very vigilant.

His intuition told him that there must be some unknown connection between these events...

"The murderer must be found as soon as possible!"

Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses, and looked coldly at the intact half of the villa.

The bomber who killed his friend has not been caught yet, and the person who helped him dismantle the bomb last time is also missing...

But because these two people are related to the 'bomb', Matsuda Jinping will almost always go to the scene whenever there is a fire - who knows if the fire is caused by explosives?

Matsuda Jinping tried to find some clues of the prisoners near the villa.

"Judging from the footprints on the lawn, someone should have fallen from the fence..."

"Shoe size is about 47, he should be a strong middle-aged male, about 1.8 meters tall."

Matsuda Jinpei guessed some information from the footprints left in the garden next to the Kurokawa villa.

But it was of no real use—because there were no suspects, no witnesses.

Matsuda Jinpei scratched his hair, his eyes were a little irritable.

Just when he was helpless, a clod on the ground on the side of the villa attracted his attention:
"This is……"

Matsuda Jinping leaned down and picked up the 'clod', and sniffed it lightly.

The pungent smell made his pupils shrink: "This is gunpowder?!"

But how can it be here?

Matsuda Jinhei squinted his eyes and took a quick look around, only to find that all the way from the side of the villa to the backyard, these 'clods' were scattered here and there!
'Could it be that gunpowder...'

Matsuda followed the scattered gunpowder to the backyard, and found a window behind the villa was open.

"..."

Didn't the people who checked just now circle the villa?

Matsuda Jinping deeply doubts the professional level of his teammates.

'click~'

Originally, he wanted to turn in through the back door to see the situation in the room, but the noise from the window made him stop, and without hesitation, he quickly turned in through the window——

'click~'

"next door!"

Matsuda Jinpei quickly opened the door leading to the next room.

I thought I would see a bomb counting down or something, but...

He just met a white-haired man sitting on the bed with sunglasses on his head.

And what the white-haired man was tinkering with was a scattered bomb.

Matsuda Jinpei really didn't expect there were people in the room, so he opened his mouth:

"...Who are you?"

……

"I?"

Lie pointed at himself, blinked his eyes, and smiled at the familiar police officer: "My name is Chi Yanlin, an enthusiastic...now Tokyo citizen?"

"...Huh?" Matsuda Jinhei's eyelids twitched twice, "Do you know what this is in your hand?"

"I know, bomb~"

Lie smiled and played with the tool in his hand, with a frivolous tone.

However, it was this upbeat ending that stimulated Matsuda Jinping, and the picture from many years ago instantly appeared in his mind, and he looked at Lie in disbelief:
"You, you are the one three years ago, that..."

Matsuda Zhenping held back for a long time before he came up with an adjective: "The man in the helmet who rushed to dismantle the bomb with me?"

'Crack it! '

With a little force, Lie completely disassembled the explosive bag containing the gunpowder into its parts, and scratched his hair in distress, "Well~ it's me, officer...but why did you find it so quickly? Can't wait for me to dismantle this thing Is it over?"

Matsuda Zhenping was stunned for a moment, looking at the shapeless bomb, the corner of his mouth twitched:
"You, you won't follow the bomber to dismantle all the bombs you set?"

Last time, this guy followed the person behind and dismantled the biggest bomb first.

Lie put the tools back into his small sack, spread his hands out, with a helpless expression on his face: "I just blew up one when I started to dismantle it...the other party arranged a bit too much, and I didn't have time to dismantle it."

"A lot?! How much is it?" Matsuda Zhenping was surprised and asked hastily.

With his appearance like that, he doesn't treat Lie as an outsider at all.

Lie blinked and propped his chin with both hands: "It's just as much as a gunpowder magazine..."

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Sure enough, it was the thief who stole the gunpowder magazine!

That being said...

Matsuda Zhenping looked at Lie speechlessly: "You just watch the prisoner empty the gunpowder magazine? Can't you stop it?"

Lie sighed heavily, and answered irrelevantly: "I want to move too, but it was already empty when I went..."

Matsuda Zhenping rolled his dead fish eyes: "...No, I asked you to stop, not to move."

Can you communicate well?

"Yes~" Lie looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Mr. Police Officer, you are very special... are you not afraid that I will be a prisoner?"

"How can a prisoner stay on the scene to dismantle the bomb after putting the explosives?" Matsuda Jinping originally wanted to go and take away the torn apart bomb, but he still didn't do it when he saw Lie Na's protective expression, "I just didn't expect that Will meet you in this situation."

Matsuda Jinpei had a complicated expression.

He has been looking for this product for 3 years...and it turned out to be in Tokyo!
And it's still under his nose!
"I never thought that you are the detective that Police Officer Mumu said every day to solve his case."

When Rie reported his name, Matsuda Jinpei realized something.

Lie put the complete plastic material into the sackcloth bag, and corrected: "I am not a detective, but a reasoning enthusiast, and Mr. Mao Li is the detective."

"It does not matter."

Matsuda Jinpei looked at him seriously, "Tell me, where are the remaining bombs? We must dismantle them before they explode!"

"Okay~"

Lie wrapped himself up in a sackcloth, came to Matsuda Jinping, and stretched out a finger with a smile: "But since you found me, you must agree to one condition, otherwise..."

"Kill you~"

Looking at Lie Yangguang's incomparable smile, Matsuda Jinhei dared to be sure that if he refused, the other party's hand on his neck would mercilessly strangle him to death.

-

Back to May 5rd.

Sawada Hiroki looked at Lie who hurried out, and didn't know what expression to put on...

Noah must know something, but he hesitated and said nothing.

After struggling for a long time, Hiroki still decided to go out and have a look, otherwise he was really worried about Conan...even if he knew that Conan was actually a high school student.

"Doctor Cheng Shi, I'll go to Greenland Park to have a look, please take care of my family!"

"Hey?! Hiroki, be careful!"
