Chapter 427: The Doctor’s Reasoning
May 6th, Tuesday, after 7:00 p.m., Mei Dai Restaurant.
Not long after Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Lan and Conan were free, Mouri came in and ordered a package of a dozen beers. The current set meal is like this, a dozen cans of beer, eight large skewers, a kitchen spoon of chowder, three tablespoons of side dishes such as fried peanuts or pickled cucumber slices, and a spoonful of meat sauce. This was just implemented this month, and the price is the same as the original, but the large skewers of boiled dishes have been reduced, but the spoons are all bigger, and everything is harmed by the consumption tax. Then, Mori sat down at the long table facing the wall opposite the counter in his usual position.
Lan, Mei Daizi, and Yamazaki took Maoli's beer and food and sat next to Maoli, and Conan sat next to Yamazaki, the seat farthest from Maoli.
After listening to Maori talk about what happened at the Ministry of Communications, Lan asked suspiciously: "Father, it stands to reason that you should have come back a long time ago. How did you get here?"
Maori said: "I went to the search department again and inquired about the incident with the Megure Police Department."
Lan asked, "What did the Mumu Police Department say?"
"The Megure Police Department said that the convenience store owner's behavior was very strange. He admitted to murdering, kidnapping Xiaohong, and planning to kill Xiaohong and Conan, but he refused to admit to cutting the rope with a knife and the car accident. , but the evidence for cutting the rope with a knife is solid, and he pleaded guilty in the end." Mao Li said, "But no evidence has been found for this car accident, so it cannot be blamed on the convenience store owner."
"That's right," Lan said.
"It's really strange." Mei Daizi said.
"Maybe it's economic reasons." Yamazaki said.
"Economic reasons?" Mao Li said, "It's impossible. The police checked it out. The loan shark should have been destroyed when he killed the usurer. No one knows how much he owed, but now there are nearly seven people in his name." One hundred thousand yen is definitely enough to pay for the damage caused by the cement pipe and the car accident.”
"No, it might be because of his child," Lan said sadly, "He might want to leave more child support, although he has divorced his wife."
"Uh..." Maori was speechless.
At this time, there was a news broadcast on the small TV on the table, bird flu appeared, I hope everyone pay attention.
"Miko, what kind of bird flu is this? It's okay." Mori turned to Miko Miyamoto behind the counter.
"Idiot, what's your name, eat your food." Miyamoto Miko said angrily.
"That's right." Mei Daizi echoed, and then said, "I'm going to watch TV." Then she left, followed by Yamazaki, Conan, and Lan.
"What?" Mao Li reacted, and said with a dry smile, "Sorry, sorry." At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Really, I don't want that guy to come back to control me. Thinking of this, he drank a beer happily. ...
Later, the convenience store owner was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Six years for killing the moneylender and mutilating his body was a pitifully light sentence given his circumstances. He was sentenced to eight years in prison for kidnapping Xiaohong and attempting to kill him and the four members of the detective team. ...
Wednesday, May 7th, in the morning, Didan Primary School.
After the four members of the detective team met, they each vomited bitterness. Yuan Tai pointed to her ear and said, "I was carried home with my ears, and then I was spanked."
Mitsuhiko said: "I wrote the inspection three times before my father was satisfied.
"
Ayumi said: "I made repeated promises to make my mother no longer sad."
Yuan Tai said enviously: "Conan is the best, even the Maori detectives didn't punish him."
Mitsuhiko and Ayumi immediately echoed: "Yes, yes."
"It's, it's okay." Conan smiled reluctantly, and at the same time complained in his heart that Maori was not trustworthy. If you look closely, you can see that Conan is now sitting leaning forward with his body supported, because if he leans back a little, he has to grin his teeth and inhale "hiss". Because Maori attacked Conan last night while Lan was taking a bath, and his ass was swollen. ...
In the afternoon, after Conan's school, Dr. Ali's house.
Conan lay on the bed and asked, "Dr. Li, you said that the police came to you today because of that birthday card. Did you hear any new news?"
Dr. A Li said: "I heard from the officer Takagi who took the record for me, according to the video recorded by the monitoring equipment deployed by the police in various courier companies..."
Conan asked, "Wait, you mean the courier company has cameras?"
Dr. Ali said: "I heard that not long after the continuous delivery of explosives, the police asked all major courier companies to install cameras. It's just that no similar people have been found."
Conan said: "That's it, continue."
"Now based on the estimated height and weight of the prisoner, the police have locked a person who is neither fat nor thin and has no physical characteristics from the video tape." Dr. A Li said, "The police have also locked a car, but this car is suspected to be It was the burned car in the burning factory."
Conan asked: "Even if it is burned, can there be some clues?"
"The police found that something like a combustion accelerant was used in the fire scene, which made the temperature of the flame very high, so so far nothing of value has been found from the fire scene." Dr. A Li said.
"Combustion accelerant? He should have made it himself?" Conan sighed, "He's really a formidable guy."
"Yes, the police have confirmed that the prisoner has certain knowledge in materials science, electronics, and radio science." Dr. A Li said.
Conan asked, "So, what about architecture?"
"I haven't heard Officer Takagi mention this before." Dr. Ali said, and then asked, "Do you still doubt Professor Moritani?"
"Look, you haven't received a call from the prisoner since you came back that day." Conan said, "Why? Because Professor Moritani is not in Tokyo."
Dr. A Li said: "This, can't you say that? At that time, there is no need for the prisoner to call again."
"It is necessary, the problem is the letter informing the police that there are many explosives under the Mihua Building." Conan said, "It is impossible for the prisoner to know whether the red and blue line explosives will be dismantled, so logically speaking, the prisoner will I have been paying attention to this incident, and then called the police afterwards to inform the police that there are many explosives under the Mihua Building. Post the letter there, in case the police do not notice the letter, although the explosives are underground, people in the square have time to run open, but it may still lead to death, and judging from the prisoner's usual style, this is obviously not what he wants."
"That's not right," Dr. Ali asked, "If that's the case, why are the explosives so big and so insidious?"
"Because in his heart, I, Kudo Shinichi, first dismantled the explosives with blueprints. When the passage on the fifth floor is opened, I will leave Mihua Building with the explosives, and at that time "Conan explained, "The time for the passage to be opened can be estimated for him who designed the Mihua Building." Then he said, "Because the explosives are dangerous, there is no time for others to dismantle them , so I will take the initiative to ask to continue to dismantle the explosives, and because the explosives are large, there is no suitable explosion site around, so I can only hurriedly find a place with few people for me to continue to dismantle the explosives, and notify the local people to leave. Because of the explosion The thing is big, so I have no way to estimate the specific explosive power, so I can only continue to dismantle it, so as to buy time for others to evacuate as far as possible. Then it will enter the selection time of the red line and the blue line."
"I see." Dr. A Li said.
"There are two accidents in this situation now," Conan said, "There was an accident on his side. He didn't expect that the passage on the fifth floor was opened a little faster than he calculated. Similarly, there was also an accident on my side. There was an accident, because I was trapped in the building with the blueprints, and the blueprints could not be sent out, and the explosives could not be shipped out at all.”
"That's true." Dr. Ali said.
"So the letter pasted on the base of the wrapping paper seems to show the prisoner's clever layout, but in fact it shows the prisoner's last resort. At that time, the prisoner had no way to contact the police. He could only hope to contact me. This letter may not be discovered." Conan said, "So the prisoner is probably Professor Moritani, because he was on the plane at the time, and it was easy to be found out by using the phone on the plane, so there was no way to make a call."
Dr. A Li said: "Then he can also specify the time to send the letter, just like that birthday card."
"Dr. A Li, have you forgotten the time this letter will arrive?" Conan smiled, "It is possible to visit at nine or ten o'clock in the evening without notice, because basically I did not fall asleep, but after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, I don't think any courier company would visit someone's house suddenly at this time. If there is such a letter, the courier company will definitely greet the recipient a few hours in advance, and you are the recipient, you must He will tell Kudo Shinichi, and Kudo Shinichi will definitely tell the police. The police may have time to remove the explosives when they get the letter early in the morning. In this way, the Mihua Building will be saved? This is definitely not what he wants have witnessed."
Dr. A Li said: "According to what you said, Professor Moritani is indeed suspected." Then he smiled, "Okay, you can put on your pants, the medicine has dried up."
Conan complained, "It's all Uncle Mouri's fault." Then he asked, "When will it be better?"
Dr. Ali smiled and said, "It should be fine tomorrow morning." Then he chatted with Conan about how he and the detective team rescued Xiaohong the day before yesterday, and told Conan to pay attention to safety.
Conan asked: "By the way, doctor, I want a small flashlight, can you put it on my watch?"
"Of course it's okay." Dr. A Li smiled, and then said, "I think it's better to make one for Yuantai and the others."
At this time, financial news began to be broadcast on TV... Unlike the big drop predicted, today's Nikkei opened low and moved high. , Affected by the destruction of the ring line, the stocks of railway transportation fell sharply today, and the closing price of Toshin Railway Company was too low, and it entered the stage of suspension and liquidation of assets. Affected by the collapse of Mihua Building, many related stocks fell sharply, and real estate stocks, construction stocks, and department store stocks were adversely affected. ...
Conan said with a smile: "Professor Moritani really caused people to lose a lot of money, and I don't know if his family property is enough to pay for it."
Dr. A Li couldn't help laughing and said, "If it's not enough, just spank."
"It's almost time, I'm leaving, goodbye." Conan retreated. ...
