Chapter 52 - Emperor Moritani II

"It's not all this bastard!" The man pushed away the blanket umbrella that was pressed against his arm, causing Qian Yu to stumble and roar angrily. "If it weren't for this guy's mouth, how could the gunpowder be stolen!"

“!!!???” Hearing the word "explosives", Chiba and Conan looked at each other in surprise. Gunpowder theft? Could it be that they are the caretakers of the Oriental powder magazine?

"What the hell is going on!" The surprised Qian Yu immediately asked.

"Yes—hmm—" The beaten man was about to speak, but the beaten man covered his mouth. "Shut up!"

"If you don't say it," Conan said coldly, stepping forward. "We'll tell the police that you're hiding key clues and not reporting them."

"Just a few of you little devils?" The man who beat him said dismissively.

"And us!" Officer Takagi's voice came, and when Chiba and Conan turned around when they heard the sound, they saw Takagi and Shiratori standing in front of the store. "Don't forget, it's right next door to the Metropolitan Police Department! Riki Oyamada, who guards the Toyo powder magazine, and Mr. Sasuke Sorabi. ”

"Riki Koyamada?" Conan was stunned. "Air Flying Left Help?"

"This guy," said the man who had beaten him. "Actually gave a hint of the answer to a stranger with a brown beard, black sunglasses, and a gray hat!"

"The password of the Toyo powder magazine, isn't it 'Momotaro?' Conan interrupted.

"You..." Riki Koyamada and Sasuke Sasuke were shocked. "How do you know?"

When Chiba looked at Conan, he saw that his eyes were filled with deep fear.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing Conan's eyes, Chiba's heart sank to the bottom. "What the hell is going on!!"

"Just ... Just a week ago ... Conan's voice trembled. Teiji Moriya held a tea party... ”

"Teiji Moriya?" Shiratori was surprised. "Architect Teiji Moriya? What happened to Mr. Teiji Moriya? ”

"He asked everybody a question at the tea party. Conan's expression changed to remorse. "There are three people's names, blood types, and birthdays in that question."

"Don't you say!" Qianyu has already guessed eight or nine.

"It's the names of these two, plus a 'this digging two'." By the time Conan finished speaking, his body had begun to tremble. "Officer! Hurry up and arrest Teiji Moriya! Otherwise, something big will happen! ”

Chiba immediately looked at Takagi and Shiratori, and the two of them also looked at Chiba.

"Hurry up to their house!" Qianyu had an expression of hatred on his face. "Do the two officers expect me and Conan to go there and arrest Teiji Moriya?"

。。。

In a mansion, the four of them met Teji Moriya.

"Am I a murderer?" Teji Moriya took a puff of his pipe and said leisurely. "Your Excellency is sensational."

"Can you explain?" Officer Shiratori asked. "The puzzle you said at the tea party."

"What's that?" Teiji Moriya spat out a smoke ring. "It was a problem that I printed on a business card that I put in my mailbox, and I didn't know how to untie it, so I printed it to everyone."

"What about the business card?" Takagi asked.

"I don't know where I've gone," Teiji Moriya glanced at Takagi. "Maybe it's been lost."

“。。。” Chiba saw Conan sneak up from his seat and slip away. What is this guy going to do? Woo, maybe it would be a good idea to talk to the past.

"You're coming along, too." Conan said with a smile when he saw that Chiba had also followed him out of the living room.

"Let's look for clues first." Chiba's face was terrible. "I always felt like the bomb was being used somewhere else."

"Of course I know that," Conan's smile narrowed. "The suspect's bombs are all the same type, I just asked Officer Shiratori, and the suspect stole about 100 kilograms of HMX."

"A bomb of 3 kilograms, which means that only about 20 kilograms have been used now?" Qianyu's face was even worse. "The rest of the bombs... Don't think about it yet, hurry up and prove it to get him! ”

"How can this be proven..."Conan frowned as he walked into a room furnished in the study. Chiba, how much do you know about octagonal explosives? ”

"The raw material is white powder, and after passivation, it is full of color." Qian Yu looked at the layout in the study and replied. "If you want to hold it, you need dimethyl sulfoxide, a colorless and odorless transparent liquid."

"Damn... Conan scratched his head. "I can't think of any proof...

"I even wanted to find out if there was scopolamine here... Huh? "Chiba was complaining and wandering around the room, but she was startled by what hung in the back of the closet." Yes!!! ”

"What's wrong?" Conan was startled and hurriedly rushed to Chiba's side. I saw that Qian Yu was looking at a pair of armor behind the wardrobe in horror.

"I'm sorry... Chiba was trying to calm her rapid breathing. "I was scared just ... I'm so sorry... By this armor ... I thought it was a living man ... ”

"Take it easy," Conan smiled. "Take it easy."

"By the way, this hat is actually brown... After Qian Yu relaxed, he began to pay attention to some of the characteristics of this armor.

"Brown... Conan smiled on the road. "I have an idea."

。。。

"Officer Takagi!" Conan walked back to the reception room with a fake brown beard and black sunglasses, and said to Shiratori, who was deeply frustrated. "We've found the disguise of the mysterious people who asked about the powder magazine!"

"What?" Takagi and Shiratori were surprised.

"What !!" Teiji Moriya was surprised and lost his voice. "How could it be! I've already disposed of it——!!! Although he immediately realized his aphasia, it was too late.

"Uh-huh!" Chiba looked at Teiji Moriya playfully. "You're finally showing your feet, sick perfectionist madman."

"Crazy saboteur!" Conan said resentfully.

"Crazy! You're such a madman! Takagi was surprised, then said angrily.

"Mr. Teiji Moriya," Officer Shiratori's expression was frighteningly cold. "Your architectural talent once fascinated me and made me a god. But from now on, it's all over. ”

"Humph!" Teiji Moriya sneered. "I'm just purifying these buildings."

"These buildings?" Shiratori was stunned.

"You also did the recent arson case at the Kurokawa and other mansions?" Takagi was surprised.

"That's him!" Conan woke up like a dream. "Those private houses that were set on fire were all the works of Emperor Moriya when he was in his thirties! Those are the works of him before he lost his parents, when he was not pursuing a symmetrical style! ”

"What other works are from that time?" Thousand Feathers was shocked. "Those buildings are going to be blown to pieces by bombs!"

"Don't you know?" Teiji Moriya said with a smug expression. "I'll admit you're pretty good, you cleared the four bombs on the ring, but the fifth, well, it was detonated forty minutes ago! Maybe it's because you don't have a mobile phone or listen to the radio? ”
