As expected, even a detective can't compare to one's own trusted lieutenant.
From Megure's perspective, he could clearly see what Matsuda was holding.
Matsuda is still the most reliable guy!
Megure thought to himself with a sigh.
"So the bomber's disguise tools were in the safe in the prisoner's study."
Conan also walked in and struck a cute pose.
"Actually, according to Shinichi's request, I should have found something to impersonate your costume props, but because you kept an eye on us, there wasn't enough time."
Having been tricked, Moriya Teiji was furious and his face turned ashen.
"Stop struggling. Even without your self-disclosure just now, you couldn't hide your criminal identity for long."
Matsuda said calmly,
"On my way here, our people contacted the person in charge of the Japanese gunpowder depot."
"He told us that he and the famous architect Professor Teiji Moriya were very good friends. They often discussed architectural issues together, and he even showed Professor Moriya the design drawings of the gunpowder depot."
"Knowing the exact location of the gunpowder depot, understanding its security facilities, and even being able to specifically choose the time when the surveillance is being maintained to commit the crime."
"If we keep following these investigations, they'll eventually find you."
Matsuda advised,
"Give up, Teiji Moriya! Before anyone gets hurt, come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us."
Seeing that Moriya Teiji remained motionless with a dark expression,
A detective standing nearby was about to step forward and apprehend him.
Unexpectedly, Moriya Teiji suddenly took a step back.
Then he pulled a remote control out of his pocket.
"Don't move!" he roared. "If you take another step forward, I'll detonate the bomb in this house."
"A bomb?" Everyone in the room smiled.
"Are you all crazy...?"
Teiji Moriya was stunned, then seemed to be provoked.
"In that case, let's all go to hell together!"
After saying that, he pressed the remote control in his hand.
The surroundings were completely silent, and nothing unusual happened.
"What happened? I clearly..."
Moriya Teiji muttered to himself for a moment, then stopped halfway through.
Then they saw Matsuda move his hands, which had been behind his back, to the front.
In his hands were six bombs whose detonators had been removed.
"The bombs you planted here have long been defused!"
Conan pointed at Matsuda,
"This Officer Matsuda was previously the ace of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Security Department's Mobile Unit. Defused a few bombs would be no problem for him at all."
"I know!"
"How could I not have investigated the famous detective from the Metropolitan Police Department when I was preparing for this case!"
Teiji Moriya glared at Conan, then looked at Inspector Megure with a ferocious expression.
"But I clearly warned you before that if you let this guy continue to be involved in this case, I would detonate the bomb I planted! You clearly agreed, so it turns out you were just playing me all along?"
“Shinichi had already told me you were a suspect back then. Because you were right there, I didn’t tell Matsuda the detailed information in order to avoid alerting you.”
Megure shook his head.
“After you made that warning call to me as a prisoner, you’ve been by my side as Teiji Moriya ever since. You should know all this!”
"Then why is this guy here?!" Moriya Teiji demanded.
“Because of trust,” Matsuda Yoshimasa said earnestly. “Inspector Megure has always trusted me. He has never hidden anything from me in the cases of the First Division.”
"But this time, he actually tried to hide important clues about the case from me. As soon as I noticed this, I immediately suspected that Inspector Megure must have been threatened to do this!"
"Then I followed his directions and rushed here, and sure enough, I found the problem."
"Brother Matsuda,"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure smiled with satisfaction.
“I knew it, Matsuda, you would understand what I mean.”
"Of course, Inspector,"
Matsuda nodded seriously.
"As your superior, you fully trust me as your subordinate, so naturally I, as your subordinate, also fully trust you as my superior!"
"Brother Matsuda..."
Megure's eyes welled up with tears.
Matsuda felt a little embarrassed looking at him like this.
Fortunately, I didn't tell anyone about my suspicions about Inspector Megure.
Otherwise, things would be terrible now...
Matsuda and Megure's interaction clearly angered another person.
"If you think this is the end of it, you're sorely mistaken." Moriya Teiji chuckled darkly. "There's still one more building I want to destroy!"
No way?
Matsuda and Conan looked at the wall with pictures of works destroyed by Moriya, and immediately locked onto the innermost picture.
Mihana City Tower?
"They're saying the bubble economy collapsed because there wasn't enough funding!"
"I can't believe I made this the worst work of my life for such a ridiculous reason!"
A maniacal smile spread across Moriya Teiji's face.
"You people simply don't understand my aesthetics! I will absolutely not allow this failed work to remain in this world!"
At this point, Teiji Moriya glanced down at the time.
"There is one minute left until 10 o'clock."
10 o'clock!
Matsuda immediately rushed out the door, not forgetting to loudly instruct Megure as he left.
"Inspector, immediately notify the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit!"
……
Yumi was sitting in the car, feeling utterly bored.
She hesitated for a while about whether to sneak in and find Matsuda, while also complaining about why she had to wear a uniform, which had led to her current predicament.
Just then, she saw Matsuda running quickly out of the Moriya mansion.
"Hurry to the Mikado City Building!"
Matsuda shouted to Yumi before he had even settled into the passenger seat.
Seeing Matsuda rush out without even explaining, and immediately start ordering him around,
She remembered that she had been worried about whether Matsuda would be arrested.
Yumi immediately puffed up her cheeks in anger: "Hey! This isn't a taxi!"
At that moment, something seemed to happen in the distance.
Yumi seemed to hear a strange sound.
"what happened?"
She peeked out and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
"Stop looking, it's an explosion! It's coming from the Mika City Tower!"
Matsuda pulled Yumi back to the driver's seat.
"We must hurry and get there."
Mihana City Tower? Explosion?
Yumi was shocked by the news. She quickly suppressed her distracting thoughts and sped off in her car.
……
When Matsuda arrived at the Beika City Building, there were panicked crowds everywhere.
The fear of the explosion drove these people to flee in all directions, pushing and shoving each other.
Chapter 185 There's still a bomb.
hateful!
At this rate, someone will definitely get trampled to death!
Looking at the panicked crowd, Matsuda had already prepared for the worst.
He quickly turned on the siren on the police car. Hearing the siren, the panicked crowd instinctively looked over.
"Listen up, everyone, don't panic, keep order..."
Matsuda pulled a loudspeaker from Yumi's car and shouted loudly.
Panic and composure in a crowd are often contagious.
