Conan's other self

Moritani Teiji was among the people he met in the reception room.

Hattori Heiji and Conan wanted to see the previous exhibition room, but obviously there was no reason to mention it directly, so they planned to investigate this room first.

Officer Shiratori told Moritani Teiji about Hattori Heiji's reasoning and the police's thoughts.

"Protect me?" Moritani Teiji looked very surprised when he heard Officer Shiratori's words.

"Yes," Officer Shiratori said. Hattori Heiji and Conan took the opportunity to search for clues in the room. "The recent arson cases were all intentionally targeted at the building you designed. In today's bombing, a bomb was also placed in the building you designed. On the bridge.”

"So, we suspect that the prisoner is deliberately targeting you," Officer Shiratori continued, "and judging from the amount of gunpowder in the bomb, there is still a lot of gunpowder stolen before, so you are still in danger. "

"I don't need your protection."

"Mr. Moritani is an outstanding master of architecture in Japan. If you are harmed, we at the Metropolitan Police Department cannot escape the blame. I also hope that Mr. Moritani will be considerate."

Hattori Heiji looked at Officer Shiratori in surprise.

Moriya Teiji pondered for a moment before agreeing.

Hattori Heiji felt something was wrong.

Officer Shiratori's words sounded low-key, but his tone was firm.

Glancing at the plainclothes detective standing at the door, Hattori Heiji hesitated and pulled Conan to the sofa on one side.

Taking out his cell phone and typing something, Hattori Heiji handed the phone to Conan.

Just like when talking to Feng Yuan before.

Conan took the phone and it read: "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Conan replied.

"This is not protection at all, this is house arrest, right?" Hattori Heiji continued typing, "Are all your Tokyo police so tough?"

"...I didn't say I wouldn't let him go." Conan tried his best to argue. After all, Moritani Teiji just sat there with his eyes closed and meditated. He neither made any requests nor took any other actions.

"So the police also suspect Moritani Teiji?"

"This should be."

"Then what are you doing here? Looking for evidence? Looking for the remaining gunpowder?" Hattori Heiji typed, and then became entangled.

Speaking of which, he himself wanted to do this.

However, although our detectives often do this kind of thing, if the police come to search your home without any formalities, it will cause great adverse effects.

What's more, this is the home of a top architect.

Conan and Hattori Heiji have similar thoughts.

He also guessed that all this had something to do with Feng Yuan.

After all, that guy Feng Yuan likes to secretly call the police behind his back.

Moritani Teiji had been concentrating with his eyes closed. When Conan saw this, he touched Officer Shiratori and pulled his clothes.

Officer Shiratori just gave him a meaningful look.

Conan got it.

Hattori Heiji also understood.

Officer Shiratori seemed to want to drag Moritani Teiji here.

And bringing in the kid Conan is just to make the "protection" look more believable.

Thinking of this, the two of them had no choice but to waste their time here.

Although the atmosphere was very uncomfortable, both Moritani Teiji and Officer Shiratori showed great patience.

They didn't even have dinner.

By the time Hattori Heiji and Conan were dizzy from hunger, it was already dark. Conan suddenly remembered that he had an appointment with Xiaolan to attend soon, and his face became ugly.

At this time, Moritani Teiji, who had been sleeping, finally opened his eyes.

"How did you guess that?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan raised their heads.

"What?" Officer Shiratori said, still looking energetic. "We are just here to protect you."

"Protecting like this?" Moritani Teiji sneered and pointed at the two police officers who came around behind him after he opened his mouth.

Officer Shiratori was silent.

"Is it Kudo Shinichi?" Moritani Teiji asked next.

"...Yes." Officer Shiratori said after looking at the time.

"Hey. How did he come up with this idea? For the sake of my cooperation, please tell me."

Hattori Heiji was a little eager to give it a try, but thinking that he had already told Officer Shiratori before, he gave up the idea of ​​performing reasoning. Moreover, he also wanted to hear what Kudo had to say.

Conan complained to Fengyuan in his heart.

So everyone on the field seemed to be waiting for Officer Shiratori to speak.

Officer Shiratori looked at the time again, and then said: "Okay - just like I told you before, the prisoner is deliberately targeting the building you designed earlier."

"But at the same time, the prisoner was also targeting Mr. Kudo."

"The only thing that can connect you to Mr. Kudo is the case in Nishitama City. Mr. Kudo happened to remember it very clearly. The mayor at that time resigned because of his reasoning, and your plan to transform Nishitama City was cancelled. So we think , you are more likely to hate him than you are to be hated with him."

"And the buildings you are targeting are all your early works. Although geographically speaking, there are your later works between them, but those works have not been affected."

"So you become our suspect."

Officer Shiratori is not told from Kudo Shinichi’s perspective.

And it’s very simple.

"Isn't this similar to me?" Hattori Heiji whispered to Conan.

Conan thought for a moment.

He was not very impressed by the case in Nishitama City, but he also knew that Maplehara's memory was deeper than his own. Therefore, he was not surprised that Kaedehara could think of Moritani Teiji.

Moritani Teiji sneered: "As expected of him, he thought of me just because of this. However, this is not even evidence - you are holding me here because you want to find evidence?"

Officer Shiratori was startled for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Teiji Moritani continue: "Haven't you ever thought that I am also stalling for time?"

What's the meaning?

Everyone was confused.

In fact, Moritani Teiji sensed something was wrong from the very beginning.

Officer Shiratori's tone, as well as the positioning of him and his men, made him aware that he might have been discovered. He had no doubt that if he did not agree to the so-called protection, this group of people would directly control him.

However, this performance also made him guess that the police had not found evidence yet and just wanted to hold him back first.

And it just so happened that he himself had a reason to hold the other party back, so Moritani Teiji agreed to the so-called protection.

The person he was "protecting" suddenly said something strange. Officer Shiratori signaled to his men to control Moritani Teiji and looked at his phone again.

"Kudo Shinichi should be dating his little girlfriend now, right?" Moritani Teiji smiled coldly and allowed himself to be handcuffed, "Don't you want to find the remaining explosives? Why don't you let Kudo Shinichi Why don’t you go look for it yourself?”

"He's right near those explosives!" Teiji Moritani glanced at the clock, "I gave him enough time - one minute left!"
