Conan's other me

Chapter 34 Detonating the Skyscraper ([-])
Hattori Heiji has a reason for doing this.

Of course, he didn't have to go to the exhibition room, but he felt that everyone came here with Conan, and the puzzle was not solved by the young lady from the office. It didn't make sense to invite her alone except Conan.

After all, there is also a child of the same age as Fengyuan who is traveling with him.

So Hattori Heiji felt that there must be tricks in it.

He also explained this to Feng Yuan.

Several people followed Moriya Teiji into the exhibition room, where all the huge photos of Moriya Teiji's architectural works were exhibited.

Just like he doesn't understand art, Fengyuan doesn't understand architecture.

However, he still noticed that in the previous photos, none of Teiji Moritani's works were symmetrical.

These are his early works.

Uncle Maori quickly stopped in front of a photo.

"Hey, this one looks familiar..."

"Yes!" Xiaolan also came over, "This is the house of the Kurokawa family! I didn't expect this to be designed by you, Mr. Moritani."

"I heard that Mr. Kurokawa was killed by a maid?"

"Yes." Xiaolan replied.

"This house is a work I designed shortly after my independence..." Moriya Teiji introduced.

Feng Yuan also came over curiously and took a look, wanting to see if it was symmetrical.Conan explained to Fengyuan in a low voice why they knew about this house: "...the case that I just encountered last week, you were not there at that time."

In fact, there were many cases where Kaedehara was absent.

What makes Conan regret the most is a case that happened on Moon Shadow Island. The criminal in the case was cornered by his reasoning and chose to commit suicide.

"The works after that were all designed when I was in my 30s. After all, I was immature when I was young." Teiji Moriya's words interrupted Conan's thoughts, "By the way, Ms. Ran and Mr. Kudo are very familiar, right?"

"Yes! The two of us grew up together, and we went to the same high school when we grew up," Xiaolan said happily, and then became depressed. "However, we haven't seen each other much recently."

"However, this Sunday is Xinyi's birthday!" Xiaolan's mood reversed again, "So I made an appointment with him to watch a midnight movie together."

"That's really exciting." Moriya Teiji said.

Indeed, it is really exciting.Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement.He hadn't heard Xiaolan say anything about it.

In fact, Xiaolan even specifically told Uncle Mori not to tell Hattori, because if Hattori found out, he would definitely disturb her meeting with Shinichi.

However, Xiaolan seemed to have completely forgotten about it at this time.

"Then, you must have bought all the presents too, right?" Teiji Moritani went on to say the usual things.

"Not yet," Xiaolan replied, "I want to buy it on Saturday. Because I like red as much as Xinyi. And! Both of our lucky colors in May are red! So, I plan to buy a red casual shirt for him."

"It's a nice gift. I think Mr. Kudo will be very happy to receive it."

Uncle Mao Li snorted uncomfortably, but didn't interrupt.

Xiaolan turned her body and looked out the window, "Huh? Isn't this the Mihua Municipal Building opposite?"

"That's right." Moriya Teiji followed to the window.

"Xinyi and I are going to watch a movie in the first hall of Mihua Film City. I made an appointment with him to meet him in the hall at ten o'clock in the evening on the [-]rd."

"That's it..." Moriya Teji replied, "This building is my favorite work. If young men and women want to celebrate their birthdays, there is no other place more suitable than that."

Although Xiaolan talked a lot once she got to the new one, Moriya Teiji was just the elder she met for the first time, and it was impossible to talk about everything, so the topic soon stopped here.

Hattori Heiji, who completely forgot his original intention of following up the exhibition room, couldn't help applauding Moriya Teiji in his heart.

Good job, uncle!In this way, the time and place where that guy Kudo will appear are all complete, this time he will definitely be able to catch that mysterious kid!
With joy in his heart, Hattori Heiji glanced at Kaedehara who was looking at the photo next to him, and then at Conan who was frowning.

The two little ghosts—especially the one named Fengyuan, were full of mysteries that he wanted to explore.

However, Hattori felt that as long as he met Kudo, these mysteries could be solved together.

then…

After the tea party, Hattori Heiji set off for Osaka.

Conan was very happy to successfully get back his own bed.

The next day, he even took the initiative to ask everyone in the detective team to play football together, trying to get back the previous game with Fengyuan.

Fengyuan did not use his physical ability beyond the level of elementary school students, so everyone returned to the same starting line, winning and losing each other, and Conan regained his confidence.

However, Conan was not happy for long.

Because until Saturday, he couldn't figure out how to deal with Xiaolan.

Watching Xiaolan go out to meet Suzuki Sonoko, Xiaolan's best friend, Conan realized that there were only ten hours left before the agreed time, and he couldn't care about other things, so he ran all the way to Dr. Ali's house to discuss with Fengyuan and Dr. Ali.

But just as he was lying on the bed placed by Dr. Ari in the living room, and was about to speak to Dr. Ali and Fengyuan, he noticed Fengyuan made a quiet gesture.

what happened?
Conan froze for a moment, and then heard a shrill siren.

"What the hell!" Hattori Heiji pushed open the door with his left hand, and covered half of his ears with his right hand, "Isn't it just sneaking in last time, so it's not just for this to install the alarm?"

"You can knock first."

The sound of the alarm was quickly lifted, and Feng Yuan pointed out the solution.

"That's because I just saw this kid come in!" Hattori Heiji said stiffly, "By the way, doctor, this is for you—my mother's snack," Hattori Heiji greeted Dr. Ari, took out a beautifully packaged box from his bag, and handed it over.

"Wait, why is it okay for him to just push the door and come in?"

Hattori Heiji pointed at Conan and questioned Fengbara.

Conan was also a little curious.

"Here, ahem," Dr. A Li temporarily put aside his thoughts on eating snacks, cleared his throat, "This is my new invention, a height-type alarm, which can send out an alarm when someone comes in without knocking on the door! Moreover, a child who is about the same height as Conan will not trigger the alarm if he directly pushes the door in. How about it, isn't it amazing?"

"Uh..." Hattori Heiji hesitated for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, "It's amazing!"

"By the way, why are you here again?" Conan looked at Hattori with a displeased face.Although Kudo Shinichi's identity has not been revealed, thanks to Fengyuan, there is no need for him to pretend to be a child in front of Hattori.

"Of course I miss you."

"Ha ha."

Conan rolled his eyes.

Of course, Hattori Heiji wanted to find Kudo Shinichi who might appear at night, and kept an eye on Fengyuan and Conan to prevent them from making small moves.

It's a pity that Kudo Shinichi himself also wants to find Kudo Shinichi who can show up on time.

Conan already had a headache from what happened at night, and he had to deal with Hattori, so Conan felt his head hurt even more.

Hattori Heiji put down his backpack, and Dr. Ali pretended to be inventing, but actually went to eat snacks.

At this time, the voice on the TV attracted everyone's attention.

"According to reliable sources, a large amount of explosives containing ammonium nitrate was stolen from the Dongyang Powder Depot the day before yesterday by unknown persons. At present, the police have dispatched hundreds of manpower to conduct related searches..."

"Oh, I've heard of this too," Hattori sat down, "I don't think it's a trivial matter."

"Yeah, if you fix that gunpowder in plastic, you can make a plastic bomb."

This kid named Conan also stopped pretending at all, Hattori Heiji thought silently.

The phone rang suddenly.

Fengyuan turned off the sound of the TV, then got up to answer the phone.
