Conan's other me

Chapter 37 Detonating the Skyscraper ([-])
No one in the stairwell, good for phone calls.

However, when Conan came here, his cell phone rang just in time.

It was Fengyuan who called.

"The doctor is very worried and wants to know the latest situation," Fengyuan glanced at Dr. Li who was listening to the phone together, "That guy called again?"

"Yeah." Conan replied, repeating what the bomber said, and then said all the other relevant news he learned from the Megure Police Department, "How is it, Fengbara, do you have any ideas?"

Retelling it again can be regarded as rearranging his thoughts, and Conan also faintly felt as if he was about to catch something, and he was only a step away from finding the answer.

But the finishing touches are often the hardest.

Feng Yuan on the other side of the phone was silent for a while.

Although he doesn't remember the specific details, he still has some impression of the general framework of this incident.These impressions also correspond to reality as things develop.

From this, he can also get in touch with many known clues, so halfway through Conan's speech, he knows the answer to the question half reasoning and half predicting.

However, he didn't want to set himself up as a prophet, and he didn't want to hurt Conan's confidence too much, so he pretended to think for a while before saying in an uncertain tone: "Between the rails?"

As if a bullet passed through his brain, Conan also figured it out all at once.

"If the bomb is not dismantled before sunset, the bomb will explode, so I thought of light," Fengbara explained, "I guess there should be a sensor device on the bomb. If it does not receive light for a period of time, the bomb will explode—"

"And if the speed of the train is lower than [-] kilometers per hour," Conan took over, "the sensor device will be blocked by the train and will not receive light for a longer time than the preset time, and it will also cause an explosion—thanks, Fengyuan! It's a great help!"

Conan hung up the phone in a hurry, and went back to find Hattori Heiji.

Feng Yuan was a little helpless, he hadn't finished speaking.

However, that's fine too.

On the other side, Hattori Heiji, who knew the answer from Conan, was a little depressed about losing in reasoning again, but he still cheered up and went to the Megure Police Department with Conan.

Based on the results of reasoning, it is only necessary to change the train track to another line to avoid the bomb and stop the train.

Soon, the first train selected for the test changed track, entered a new line, and then gradually slowed down.

60 kilometers per hour.

59 kilometers per hour.

58 kilometers per hour.

There was no explosion.

The dispatchers cheered for a while, and then quickly put themselves into the dispatching work of other trains.

Police officers also dispatched in large numbers, hoping to successfully find all the bombs and dismantle them before sunset.

Because the reasoning didn't take long, they were able to complete the task ahead of schedule.

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who have been in the Metropolitan Police Department, also noticed the good news from the nearby movement.

"Huh, it should be over." Hattori Heiji stretched his body.

"There are still prisoners that haven't been found yet," Conan said.

"Let me tell you," Hattori Heiji bent down and looked into Conan's eyes, "You might as well just call your new brother and see who he has offended recently, and you must trouble him."

Better give me the call.

Hattori Heiji added something in his heart, and then found that Conan was staring at him.

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily, "Hey, you guys are not suspicious of me, are you?"

"Aren't you just trying to trouble Brother Xinyi all the time?"

"Can that be the same!" Hattori Heiji's face turned darker, "I just want to meet that annoying boy! Besides, isn't there someone named Teiji Moriya who is the same as me? That guy not only invites Kudo to drink tea, but also keeps asking his woman about him—"

Conan was stunned.

Hattori Heiji was also stunned.

"...You can't doubt him just because he wants to see Kudo, can you?" After a while, Hattori Heiji choked out a sentence.

"Aren't you too." Conan rolled his eyes at him, "However, speaking of it, he also designed the house of the Kurokawa family that was set on fire before..."

"anything else?"

"…Gone."

The reasoning seemed to be at a dead end again. At this time, Police Officer Shiratori with short hair and coral-shaped bangs came over, with a relieved smile on his face, "Mr. Hattori, Conan, thank you very much——"

"Officer Shiratori!" Hattori Heiji said seriously, "You said before that it was called..."

"Kurokawa." Conan reminded.

"Yes, Kurokawa. The Kurokawa family's house was burned down, right?"

Seeing the seriousness of the duo, Officer Shiratori withdrew his smile in cooperation: "Yes, there are a series of arson cases, and we suspect that the same person did it."

"Are these houses designed by Mr. Teiji Moritani?"

Officer Shiratori froze for a moment, then replied: "That's right."

Hattori Heiji glanced at Conan proudly.

Conan ignored him, but asked Officer Shiratori, "Then where are the bombs placed today?"

"Oh, I just wanted to tell you about this." Officer Shiratori looked at the two of them, "Four of them were placed near the residential area, and one was on the bridge, the Sumida Canal Bridge."

"Sumida Canal Bridge?"

"Well," Officer Shiratori looked strange, "If you want to ask whether this is also Mr. Moritani's design...it is indeed."

"This bridge was completed in 1983," Police Officer Shiratori continued. "This is not an iron bridge, but made of British-style stones. It caused a lot of discussion at the time. Moriya Teiji also won the Best Newcomer Award from the Japan Architectural Association for the design of this bridge."

Officer Shiratori couldn't help but show off his architectural knowledge, and then realized that this was playing the piano against a cow.

Hattori Heiji said to the elementary school students, "I won this time," and then said to Police Officer Shiratori, "I suspect these bombings and those arson cases." Hattori Heiji paused intentionally, "It's all related to Moritani Teiji."

Conan thinks so too.

Regardless of whether it was intentionally targeting Moriya Teiji, or it was what Moriya Teiji did, in short, I have to meet Moriya Teiji now before talking.

However, Conan always felt that Officer Shiratori was a little weird.

After Hattori Heiji finished his reasoning, Police Officer Shiratori pondered for a moment, "It seems so. So maybe someone is deliberately targeting Mr. Moritani?"

"It could also be—"

"Then we have to protect him!" Officer Shiratori said.

Uh...it seems to be okay?
Hattori Heiji, who was interrupted, didn't care about this, and it would be more satisfactory for him to reason in front of the prisoner.

Moreover, there is no conclusive evidence for his reasoning, so he happened to go to Moriya's house to have a look.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji planned to go with Officer Shiratori.

Officer Shiratori certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Officer Shiratori," Conan asked at the right time, "Where's the Mugure Police Department?"

"The bomb has just been dismantled, and the Mumu Police Department still has a lot of things to deal with," Police Officer Shiratori looked at Conan, "I'll just accompany you there."

Conan nodded cutely, then thoughtfully.

He has handled innumerable cases in Mihua, and the number of times the Mumu Police Department was not by his side can be counted on the fingers of the fingers.

Soon, Officer Shiratori came to Moritani House with a few of his men, Hattori Heiji and Conan.
