Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 76: Dangerous Rice Flower Cinema

Near    Tongza Station, even though the loop line blasting incident has been reported in the TV news, the commercial street here is still as calm as ever, with a weaving of traffic and shopping crowds passing by in twos and threes.

   "I'll accompany you here." Yuanzi carrying shopping bags, walked to the subway entrance, turned around and said goodbye to Xiaolan.

   "Thank you for staying with me today." Xiaolan nodded. In order to prepare a gift for Shinichi in the evening, she and Yuanzi went shopping for a day in Tongzuo.

   Yuanzi narrowed his eyes, teasing and said: "Tomorrow you have to report to me, you have to grab his first kiss!"

   Xiaolan couldn't help but smiled embarrassedly as the passers-by looked over.

   Yuanzi is still so careless...

   "Huh?" In the Tongzuo subway station, the garden followed the crowd into the ticket gate, and suddenly noticed a familiar figure flashing by the exit on the other side.

   "Isn't that Shinichi?"

At the crossing, Gao Cheng avoided the pedestrians and talked with Conan: "I'm already here...I know, I will help with Xiaolan, but the most important thing now is the gunpowder. The prisoner may have been installed here. The bomb...No, the crowd cannot be evacuated. Now I’m not sure there’s a bomb, and you said that the prisoner may be under surveillance. If you let him detect it, it would be bad if you detonate it in advance. I’ve already contacted Officer Mumu, he Plainclothes police will be sent over to search."

"Okay," Conan said cautiously in the ward of Lutai Hospital, "Xiaolan will leave it to you. I will go to Mr. Moritani's house with my uncle and ask about the situation later. I will find the prisoner as soon as possible and then go to your side. That... well, at the midnight movie..."

   "I know, I won't do anything to Xiaolan."

   Gao Cheng hung up the phone and checked the time. It was nine o'clock, and there was still an hour before the appointment time between Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan, which should be enough for him to investigate.

   After a while, Police Officer Megome also rushed to the copper seat, and when he saw Gao Cheng he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Why is it Kudo-kun, what about you, Joto? I have made an appointment, why can't I see anyone?"

"Uh."

   Gao Cheng's complexion was slightly embarrassed, because he had forgotten that fellow Conan, he used his own identity to contact Mumu.

   "Jito said he can only ask me if something happens..."

"You two are really weird. Kioto also said that you were not feeling well before." Mumu murmured, without thinking about this kind of thing, shook his head and hurriedly said, "Takagi and the others have already gone to the Rice Flower Central Building first. It’s said that a bomb was found in the trash can of the Mihua Movie City. Let’s go over quickly!"

   "Where is Professor Moriya?"

   "Conan took Shiratori and the others, he will contact me immediately if there is any situation."

In the Mihua Central Building, Gao Cheng accompanied Mumu into the lobby as little as possible. The popularity here is very high, especially at this point in the evening. There are a lot of people watching movies and shopping, which brings trouble to the police. Less trouble.

"Kudo-san," Mumu held the walkie-talkie with a heavy face, "the situation is more serious than imagined, but the number of explosives found in the corridors and emergency entrances and exits has greatly exceeded before, all of them are regularly set to explode at ten o'clock. ."

   "Where is the prisoner? Did you find any suspicious people around?" Gao Cheng squeezed a cold sweat. Even if a bomb was discovered, there were still many problems. The most important thing was to ensure that the prisoner would not detonate the bomb ahead of time because of the police action.

"There are too many people nearby, and nothing has been discovered yet," Mumu shook his head. "We found nothing after investigating the suspect's camouflage features. Now there are only less than 30 minutes left. We can only move those bombs first. ."

   "Officer Megome!" Takagi contacted via the walkie-talkie, "I have taken a bomb out of the movie city, and there is nothing unusual at the moment!"

   "Very good!"

   Mumu breathed a sigh of relief, and said tightly: "I can't care about it now, we must move all the bombs before the suspect is discovered!"

"Yes!"

   "Detective Megome, I think I'll come to help too," Gao Cheng said.

   "Okay, but you must be careful." Meguro worried about what the suspect would do after seeing "Kudo Shinichi".

   The Moriya home on the other side is not far from the Mihua Central Building. Conan and his party met Professor Moriya in the living room.

   "You are right," Moriya Teji lit his pipe with a match and spit out a puff of smoke. "These cases are indeed ridiculously coincidental."

   "Professor Moriya," Kogoro Mouri asked, "Have you ever offended anyone? Who could do this to retaliate against you?"

  Professor Moriya held the pipe with a dilemma: "Well...I don't know who it will be, I'm really sorry, you also know that I am a famous architect, maybe it caused others to hate it unknowingly."

   Conan looked at Professor Moriya who was thinking, his nose smelled faintly.

   is the smell of a pipe...

   Conan's gaze fell slightly, and he looked at Professor Moriya with suspicion.

   At the time when Moori Kogoro asked, he quietly exited the living room and ran into the design exhibition room of Professor Moriya, which successively displayed various design works of Professor Moriya.

  All the buildings in the accident are the works of Professor Moriya before the age of 30, which is different from the symmetrical style after the age of 30, and basically does not meet the symmetry requirements.

   "Is there such a thing?"

   Conan gritted his teeth and thought of Moritani's almost pathologically symmetrical aesthetics. It would be too shocking to say that Moritani created this bomb incident because he wanted to destroy his previous asymmetrical works.

   "Didi!"

The phone rang, and Gao Cheng called and said: "Kudo, the bomb has been found on the Mihua Central Building. The strange thing is that the biggest bomb is actually on the Mihua Movie City, and the exit of the Mihua Movie City has emergency passages. There is a bomb... It feels like the prisoner is coming at you again."

   "What?" Conan said in surprise, "Is Xiao Lan okay?"

"She's still in the lobby," Gao Cheng stood at the entrance of the Mihua Movie City Hall on the 5th floor~www.NovelMTL.com~ looked at Xiaolan who was waiting silently inside, and said with lingering fear, "Hey, who did you offend? The exit bomb is timed to be at ten o'clock, which is exactly the time you and Xiaolan are going to meet in the lobby. The biggest bomb in the lobby is timed to explode at 12:3. Isn’t it weird?”

If it were not for investigating the bomb in advance, he might be trapped in the hall with Xiaolan, and then he would be killed at 12:3. If the prisoner was only for revenge on Moriya Diji, it would be abnormal and unnecessary. It's so complicated...

   "How did the prisoner know that you are dating Xiaolan today?" Gao Cheng asked puzzledly.

   "I think I already know what's going on, Joto."

   Conan sullenly opened the black cloth covering a model cabinet in the exhibition room, and the label read "The new town of my dreams, Nishitama City".

"Professor Moriya Teji was the one who designed the new town of Nishitama for the Mayor of Okamoto, and when Xiaolan and I came here for a tea party a few days ago, he also learned about my date with Xiaolan, so... …"

"That's it," Gao Cheng relieved his heart and laughed, "No wonder we didn't find the suspect here, because the suspect is receiving you at home. This will make it easier. We can let go of our hands and feet to transfer the bomb, Professor Moriya Leave it to you over there, be careful, he may still have explosives in his hands."

   "What kind of explosive?" Yuanzi suddenly appeared in front of Gao Cheng with a black line, "Okay, I'm still wondering why the Shinichi boy didn't make any excuses this time, it turned out to be you, Joto!"

   "Huh?!" Gao Cheng's figure was tight, looking at the imposing garden blankly.

   "Let's talk," Yuanzi said with her hips akimbo, "You actually dress up as a new one, what are you trying to do with Xiaolan?!"
