Chapter 108 Agreement
Conan, unaware that he had been targeted by Yukiko, found a remote telephone booth outside and called Touko.
"Mr. Amuro, the information I gave you was correct, wasn't it? We caught him red-handed in front of a few children. I believe that paranoid Moriya Teiji is now in good hands with you public security officers."
Having just finished her last part-time job and on her way to her next one, Touzi picked up the phone. Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the line, and the words that sounded as if he knew the whole story, her brows furrowed instantly.
"Who are you? How do you know this information?"
"Don't worry about this~"
Conan had a smile on his face:
"Did you find out where he kept the explosives?"
"Of course. I don't know how you know my identity, but knowing who I am, you should know that we will never let go of those who endanger national security!"
There was a hint of pride in Touko's voice.
His men are not those policemen. When it comes to interrogation, they are absolutely top-notch!
"Oh? Really? Are you sure he told you all the places?"
Conan's voice held a hint of teasing.
Based on his understanding of that paranoid man, how could Moriya Teiji possibly reveal all the places where the bombs were buried! As a paranoid artist, even if it meant death, he would want to destroy those former buildings!
"Mr. Jōtani, we searched the locations he told us about, but we only found less than half of the missing bombs! We don't know where he hid the other half!
And now, no matter how we interrogate him, he still insists that he has no more explosives!"
Just when Touko was about to say something, she received a message from Kazami.
Looking at the message sent by Kazami, Touko's face instantly darkened.
He had just been praising his subordinates' abilities in front of that mysterious person, only to be instantly slapped in the face? Is this how you respond to trust?
Seeing that Touko fell silent, Conan probably guessed something:
"What? Didn't he tell you the truth? There's nothing we can do. After all, these artists in Mihua always have some serious problems in their brains."
"Shut up!"
Touzi's face darkened:
"So what if I don't know? Do you know where he hid the explosives?"
He just didn't believe that the mysterious man on the other end of the phone was so powerful.
"Of course I know. Otherwise, why do you think I called you?"
Conan said confidently.
"...Huh? You know?"
Touko was completely bewildered. Could it be that the mysterious man had been following Moriya Teiji the entire time?
"Are you following Moriya Teiji? No, that's not important for now. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Shaking her head, putting her speculation aside for the moment, Touko asked in a serious voice, "More important than the mysterious man's goal is the location of the bomb."
“It’s comfortable to deal with smart people.”
Conan smiled:
"I can tell you where he buried the bombs, but as a condition, I hope you can help me deal with one of them. Well, don't dismantle it, just block one exit after it explodes."
"What do you want to do?"
There was a hint of doubt in Touko's voice.
Although he was not unable to agree to this request, before that, even if the other party did not say it, he had to find out the other party's purpose.
However, to his surprise, Conan actually said:
"Well, just think of this as a gift from me to the two juniors."
"???"
After hearing Conan's response, Tohru was completely dumbfounded. What kind of excuse is that? This excuse is worse than nothing! Who would give a gift to a kid like that? A terrorist?
"Is it enough to just close the road? If that's all, I can agree to it."
However, considering that there was still a lot of explosives outside that might explode at any time, Touzi didn't complain directly.
Compared to the large-scale casualties caused by a bomb explosion, just leaving a little explosives to block the road was still within his acceptable range.
"Okay, then we'll make an agreement."
Seeing Touko playing games, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even without Xiaolan's spoiler, he was really worried that the explosives placed by that madman Moriya Teiji in the Beika Municipal Building would explode prematurely, or simply use a large explosive to explode directly like the bombs in other places.
Now, after getting Touzi's promise, he can design his plans for the evening with peace of mind.
"In that case, I'll tell you, that madman Moriya Teiji has a morbid obsession with bilateral symmetry.
Therefore, just as he changed his name to Teiji Moriya, he wanted to destroy all his early works that were not perfectly symmetrical.
Before Conan could finish his words, Touko interrupted him directly:
"Is that so? In that case, I'll have my men inspect his earlier buildings! Thank you very much."
"Can you please listen to what I have to say?"
Conan's face was dark. He clearly had something else to say, so why was he so anxious to interrupt him?
"Your men must have found the five bombs that Moriya Teiji placed on the circular line tracks! Besides that, there should also be some explosives that he hid in his own house, right?
In addition to those buildings, there is another building he wants to destroy. That is the Rice Flower City Hall.
"Rice Flower Municipal Building? That lunatic wouldn't be there?"
"That's it. He planted a bomb in the Rice Flower Municipal Building."
Conan directly confirmed Touko's guess:
"Although that building wasn't one of his earlier works, for various reasons it wasn't the perfectly symmetrical structure he envisioned. Therefore, he planned to destroy the Rice Flower Municipal Building as well."
"I see! What do you want me to seal off?"
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Touzi said seriously, "If it weren't for the mysterious man across from me, his men might not have been able to find out about this in time."
If the bomb explodes at that time, the casualties will probably be very serious.
"Well, all you have to do is blow up the entrance and exit of the Rice Flower Cinema around midnight. Yeah, it should only take about ten minutes."
Conan roughly estimated the time he would need and made his request to Touko.
"......I see."
Touzi hesitated for a moment, then agreed. With no new films released recently, the late-night shows wouldn't be crowded. Plus, considering the importance of the information provided by the mysterious man, he could still fulfill the request.
"Then it's a deal. I'll contact you next time if I have any intelligence."
After saying that, Conan hung up the phone.
