Conan's other self

Chapter 39 Detonating a skyscraper (End)



Conan's face suddenly turned pale.

The meaning of Emperor Moritani's words was very clear. He planted a bomb at the place where Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran were dating.

Of course Kudo Shinichi will not show up at the date, but Xiaolan will.

Amid Moritani Teiji's laughter, Conan rushed to the table and picked up the phone.

While dialing the number at the service desk of the cinema in the Mihua Municipal Building, Conan looked in the direction of the municipal building.

But unlike the exhibition room, the municipal building cannot be seen from here.

"Damn it! Answer the phone quickly!" Conan shouted anxiously.

Hattori Heiji also came to Conan's side worriedly.

"The service desk phone number can't be reached!" Conan said in a desperate tone to Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment.

"...You should just call Kudo's mobile phone!"

"Yes, yes." Conan, who was in a hurry, quickly dialed again and called Xiaolan's mobile phone.

"Uh..." Officer Shiratori made a hesitant voice, but one person on the scene was laughing, two people ignored him, and the rest were all his men, so he didn't continue.

Then…

"Shinichi?"

The call was connected.

"Xiaolan!"

"Conan? It's you!" The caller was not Shinichi. Xiaolan was a little disappointed, but she still cheered up and spoke, "How many times have I told you, I have to call Sister Xiaolan——"

"Xiaolan, listen to me!" Conan shouted, "Get out of there!"

"Huh? Where to leave?"

"Municipal Building! Get out quickly! There's——"

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked up at the building not far away in confusion, "But... I'm outside the municipal building now."

The expression on Conan's face froze.

Moritani Teiji stopped laughing when he realized that one minute had passed.

"Listen to me, Conan!" Xiaolan continued, "The municipal building has been cordoned off a long time ago, and I have been waiting outside. By the way, there were many policemen with riot shields coming in and out before! No. You know what happened...Megure Police Department is here too! The one you know is the fat police officer...but he is at the blockade..."

Xiaolan rambled on about the situation at the scene, and Conan's worry gradually turned into joy, and then into confusion.

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were eavesdropping on the side, looked towards Moritani Teiji, and then found Moritani Teiji staring at Officer Shiratori.

Officer Shiratori looked at Conan and Hattori Heiji with some surprise.

"It should be almost over over there," Officer Shiratori said to Hattori Heiji and Conan, "You two shouldn't have to act anymore... uh... you two are acting, right?"

"…ha?"

"Isn't it?" Officer Shiratori looked confused, "Mr. Kudo said that he had told you, and he also said that you would cooperate with me in my acting..."

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan expressionlessly.

Even if he didn't remember anything, just combining "Ran asked Shinichi to meet" and "bomb", Maplehara could guess what would happen.

Besides, he still has some impressions.

So after explaining to the Megure Police Department the reasoning that Teiji Moritani was the prisoner, he brought the topic to the Mihua Municipal Building, the place where Ran asked Kudo Shinichi to meet.

The reason for using it is also very simple.

First of all, Moritani Teiji's pursuit of classical symmetry is difficult for others to understand, which is why he wanted to destroy his early works.

Secondly, the Mihua Municipal Building also meets this condition.

Finally, the Mihua Municipal Building, a building that Teiji Moritani was dissatisfied with, was something Teiji Moritani could see at home every day.

Therefore, the Mihua Municipal Building is also Moritani Teiji's target.

In order to ensure that Kudo Shinichi can be killed, the bomb will not detonate until ten o'clock.

This is what Maplehara told the Megure Police Department in Kudo Shinichi's voice.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, the Megure Police Department believed it without any reservation since it was what "Brother Kudo" said.

So after asking for instructions from the police department, and with the attitude of preferring to believe what they had and not what they didn't, the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department made the decision to evacuate the crowd in the municipal building and send people to check for bombs.

In order to prevent Moritani Teiji from noticing the situation in the municipal building and detonating the bomb in advance, and because there was no conclusive evidence, Officer Shiratori was sent in advance to "protect" Moritani Teiji.

However, because Moritani Teiji was overconfident that the bomb would explode successfully, the police found Moritani Teiji's fingerprints on the bomb found in the building - of course, this is a story later.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji and Conan had just finished listening to Officer Shiratori's explanation and were standing side by side outside Moritani's house.

"..."

"Hey, don't you have anything to say?" After a short silence, Hattori Heiji said to Conan.

Conan gave him a "you'll understand it yourself" look.

He now feels both the joy of surviving the disaster and the depression of being teased.

"Looking at your reaction before, it wasn't Kudo who called the police, but that brat named Maplehara, right?" Hattori Heiji asked one after another, "What's going on with you guys? Why do you care so much about Kudo's woman? Why are you so concerned about Kudo's woman?" Where is Kudo and others? Did he go to see his woman?"

Meet his woman?

Conan's expression changed again.

He once again remembered his date with Xiaolan.

But the appointed time has passed.

Taking out his mobile phone in a panic, Conan remembered that he couldn't get into the Mihua Municipal Building in the first place and couldn't watch the movie in the first place.

So what should be done in this situation?

Call Xiaolan to say sorry?

Regardless of the fact that Heiji Bei was waiting for him to explain, Xiaolan would definitely not accept it if he just made a phone call.

After all, "Kudo Shinichi" should be near the Mihua Municipal Building at this time, and Xiaolan is probably still looking for him around.

Xiaolan really wanted to see Kudo Shinichi tonight.

Conan knew this.

However, he had many thoughts here, and Hattori Heiji didn't want to just let him go.

Hattori Heiji bent down and held Conan's shoulders, looking at Conan with the same look he used to look at Maplehara, "Hey, talk!"

Now he feels more and more that Conan is Kudo's guy.

After all...this kid's worries about Kudo woman shouldn't be too obvious.

Conan lowered his head, his face changing again and again under the moonlight, and then as if he had made a difficult decision, he raised his head and looked at Hattori Heiji.

"Hattori, let me tell you."

Conan looked serious.

He raised his eyebrows, and the expectant Hattori Heiji bent down and moved closer to Conan.

Then…

I felt a slight tingling in my neck.

Hattori Heiji passed out without any resistance.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, skillfully closed the cover of the anesthesia watch, and then helped Hattori Heiji to sit on the ground with ease.

Glancing at Hattori Heiji, Conan felt a little embarrassed.

In the past, he used anesthesia needle watches to solve cases...but this time, he just wanted to make a phone call.

He wanted to discuss Hattori Heiji's affairs with Maplehara.

The way this guy looked at him was almost the same as the way he looked at Maplehara before. If he continued like this, Hattori Heiji would find out sooner or later that he was Kudo Shinichi.

The experience of solving a bomb incident together during the day made Conan feel that Hattori Heiji can be trusted.

"So, you want to confess to him?" Fengyuan said on the other side of the phone, "I have no objection."

In fact, compared to Conan now, he may have more trust in Hattori Heiji.

but…

"But what should I say?" Conan scratched his hair irritably, "If one person turns into two people, no matter how you look at it, that guy won't believe it, right?"

"There is also Xiaolan, what should we do?" Conan continued to struggle, "I haven't called her yet..." Conan hesitated, "Hey, Fengyuan, the remaining cup of Baigan... is still at your place Right?"

There seemed to be some hesitation on the phone.

After a while, Conan heard Feng Yuan say: "I understand. Then... let's solve these things together."
