Chapter 254 Only Kudo’s Reminder (Ch 254)

It was already dark, and Conan worked with the police to meet the master architect Teiji Moriya.

At first, the police thought that Teiji Moriya was targeted by criminals, so the villa he designed was set on fire and the bridge he designed was almost blown up by a bomb. But Conan found a suspicious point:

Judging from the photos of his works displayed in Teiji Moriya’s home, his later works were all symmetrical, while his earlier works were of various styles. The villa that was burned down this time was all asymmetrical, and the bridge was also asymmetrical.

Why is it such a coincidence?

While the police were talking to Teiji Moriya, Conan secretly checked his home and accidentally discovered the urban reconstruction sand table model of Nishitama City. At this point, all the problems were solved.

Although there was no evidence, Conan was very cunning. He used Kudo Shinichi’s voice to call the scene and started reasoning, which tricked Moriya Teiji into revealing his true colors. It was too late for Moriya Teiji to deny it.

And given his perfectionist personality, he won’t deny it now that it’s been said.

“You didn’t expect it to be me, sir.” Moriya Teiji was not afraid, but looked proud. “Those asymmetrical works are my shame. I won’t allow them to exist in the world, so I destroyed them!”

The police immediately ordered people to arrest Teiji Moriya, but he did not resist. He just shouted to Megure 850’s mobile phone, “Kudo Shinichi! Do you think that the matter is over after arresting me? No! I have planted bombs in other places.”

“What?!” Megure was shocked, “Where else did you plant the bomb?”

Moriya Teiji laughed, “I’ve already given you the hint, Kudo Shinichi, go find it by yourself! You have to go alone, because I have accomplices watching. If you bring someone else with you, the bomb will explode directly.”

Everyone’s faces changed drastically. Moritani Teiji actually had an accomplice?

Officer Shiratori questioned with a straight face, “When did you give us a tip?”

“Hahaha, I already gave you a hint just now, but you didn’t notice it.” Moriya Teiji laughed, “But Kudo Shinichi must have noticed it.”

Megure quickly asked into the phone: “Hello, Kudo, what exactly is his hint?” What Megure didn’t expect was that Kudo didn’t answer, but hung up the phone directly.

Kogoro glanced towards the corridor, feeling completely confused.

Has Teiji Moritani already given Kudo Shinichi a hint?

When? Why didn’t I notice it? (cadg) Moriya Teiji didn’t know that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, so he wanted to give a hint, so he could only take advantage of the time when Shinichi called Inspector Megure to make inferences. Recalling carefully, Kogoro didn’t find anything strange.

The only thing that was a bit strange was what Moriya Teiji said after he was exposed – “You didn’t expect it to be me, sir.”

If you simply say “I didn’t expect it was me”, it’s normal, but adding the words “you” and “Sir” makes it weird. Why do you still politely call someone “Sir” when they are about to arrest you?

“There’s something wrong with this sentence!” Although Kogoro realized the problem, he had no clue.

At this time, Conan was hiding in the corridor outside the door, and put his phone back into his pocket with a serious face. He did not notice Moriya Teiji’s hint at first, until he recalled it carefully and found that the other party had indeed given the hint.

“You didn’t expect it to be me, sir…” Conan fell into deep thought, and suddenly his face changed, “Could this be…” He seemed to remember something, and rushed out of the Moritani house without saying hello to anyone, including Dr. Agasa.

Because Teiji Moriya said he has an accomplice, Conan has to go alone.

…

At the Haido Hotel, Mochizuki, Ai, and Mingmei were enjoying dinner here.

Most people would only go to big hotels to eat on special days because the prices are so expensive. But these three are people who are not short of money now, so they don’t mind where to eat.

But Mingmei always felt that she was a little redundant, like a light bulb next to these two.

“When will you be able to catch up with Xiaolan?” Xiaoai is particularly concerned about Xiaolan’s affairs. Although she does not reject Xiaolan, she still feels jealous when she thinks that Xiaolan will become Mochizuki’s girlfriend.

Girls are all made of vinegar. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Mochizuki didn’t mind telling Ai the truth, but he still asked jokingly first, “Do you want it to be sooner or later? I’ll listen to you.”

Xiao Ai raised the wine glass to her lips, pretending to be nonchalant – the glass was filled with juice. “Why do you listen to me? I don’t care at all. You can even take Xiao Lan tonight.”

“Okay, then I’ll take her down tonight.”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ai almost choked on her juice, “Ahem…really?”

“Yes.” Wangyue’s expression became serious. “I went to the hospital to see Xiaolan this afternoon. She will die tonight.”

Ai’s heart trembled… Mingmei was also frightened by Mochizuki’s words.

Xiaolan is dying?

But then they all realized something at the same time. Xiao Ai asked: “So, you plan to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? That’s a bit old-fashioned!”

Wangyue looked at Xiaoai with a half-smile, “It worked on you.”

Xiao Ai thought about how she had been saved by Mochizuki several times, and while she felt sweet in her heart, she also felt a little embarrassed. I said this trick didn’t work, but it turned out that I was the one who was poisoned the most, which was so embarrassing.

“I… I didn’t say it doesn’t work, I said it’s old-fashioned. It’s because it works so well and everyone likes to use it, so it has become an outdated routine.” Xiao Ai defended herself.

…

Conan’s skateboard had been blown up, so he could only call a taxi and ask the driver to take him to Park Town. After getting off the car, Conan looked at the house numbers of the nearby buildings and ran in one direction.

He was able to analyze the answer faster than Kogoro, not because he was smarter than Kogoro, but because Moriya Teiji’s hint involved Sherlock Holmes. He could confidently say: No one knows Sherlock Holmes better than me!

“You didn’t expect it to be me, sir.”

To outsiders this may sound like a literal sentence, but to Conan it has a deeper meaning.

On May 4, Holmes and Moriarty dueled on the waterfall, and both fell down the waterfall and died. But readers could not accept this ending and went to the author’s house to smash the glass. The author could not bear it and had no choice but to let the dead Holmes “resurrect” in the case of “The Empty House”.

At that time, Holmes changed his appearance and came to visit Watson. The first thing he said to Watson was “You didn’t expect it to be me, sir.” Then he changed back to his original appearance in front of Watson.

“No. 427 Park Road, this is where the “Empty House” case took place…”
